Jenny, I’m an actual empath and I’ve lost six lbs. that I didn’t need to lose since IsraHell began its attempted genocide. I just end up scraping my dinner plate into the garbage.
I hope you pull through OK. When I was younger, I was bullimic. That turned into anorexia. At that time nobody talked about eating disorders. I went to a doctor when I couldn't keep any food down and had lost a huge amount of weight. He yelled at me and told me that if I didn't eat, I would die. It really scared me. I worked hard at it and eventually was able to eat and keep food down. What that doctor said to me is not at all recommended these days, but it worked for me. I am not suggesting that such an approach would work for you, but I hope you will try everything you can until you are able to eat at least enough to keep your weight normal.
Thank you Susan. As a teenager, I was full-blown anorexic. I managed to somewhat recover, but since then I have a real love-hate relationship with food. I still don’t believe I know what “normal” eating is.
We are SPEAKING of the effects that human suffering has on the rest of humanity. If you can go about your daily life and not be affected by the carnage, fuckin’ good on ya.
It's time for Americans to grow some backbones and stand up for what is morally right and tell those in government who support genocide where to go--straight to hell. And then demonstrate their resolve to make the world a better place at the ballot box. (Vote Green: "People, planet and peace over (corporate) profits.")
I'm expressing "my concerns" also. Concerns that we are aiding Israel in a ground invasion.....!! .......I'm starting to hate the USA! Yes. I'll vote for Biden, because, goodgod, the other guy is totally off the rails. But, maybe, he's closer to the reality of the human race: a bunch of real F-ups.
Exactly. Can someone be "lesser dead"? No, evil is just evil. And Americans have been brainwashed into thinking they have an actual choice at the ballot box. Time to grow up and stop voting for the evil of the duopoly. (Vote Green: "People, planet and peace over (corporate) profits.")
He can't possibly win if he continues unilaterally supporting Israel. He also can't possibly win if he appears to support Israel's destruction. To be consistent, he needs to oppose war, genocide, occupation, and the US funding thereof. If he can't do that he is toast.
The Israelis in Gaza are provoking the Arab countries the way Nato in Ukraine provoked Russia. An empire in decline must do what an empire in decline must do.
Does anyone remember "The Battle of Algiers"? The young woman who went into a French café to plant a bomb, and saw the maybe year-, year and a half–old baby she was going to kill?
Yes. And I think the filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo was saying “This is the price.” It was a morally ambiguous moment. Why does that baby have to pay that price? How does that woman feel about killing that other mother’s baby? It was not simple. It was riveting.
Really. Lebanon doesn’t allow Palestinians to own land or work in skilled professions. Neither Egypt or Saudi Arabia or Jordan will take a single additional Palestinian refugee or immigrant. The Sunni Arabs are not so secretly rooting for Israel to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Iranian Shia. Learn some history.
You couldn't make it and a stand up comedian so you decided to try your luck at trolling? Have you not seen the demonstrations worldwide against the israeli genocide of Palestinians? Did you bother to watch the link above? I didn't give my opinion. I linked to someone who is far better qualified than I am to project the Arab point of view. It is you who should learn some history... but you're too steeped in israeli propaganda to clear the wax from your ears.
In what way did "Nato in Ukraine" provoke Russia? Russia chose to illegally invade Ukraine and has committed various crimes, such as assassinations, in NATO countries for decades. If anyone is provoking anyone it's Russia provoking NATO countries.
Really the Sunni Arabs would be glad to see Israel destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran. You might see big demonstrations and strong speeches to mollify public opinion. But most Arab governments and leaders are trying hard to stay out of any fighting.
Even if Gaza had a population of old people Israel’s bombardment, occupation, Apartheid laws, ethnic cleansing, genocide, settlement activity and blockade would still be wrong.
Israel left Gaza in 2006. It does not occupy it. There is no ethnic cleansing in Gaza. No genocide either. The settlements in Gaza were given to Palestinians who promptly trashed them. Gaza by the way was not a hellhole or open air prison. It had nice beaches and apartment buildings. Heck it even had a Taco restaurant. Gaza could have prospered in peace. But Hamas wanted a war.
naw, there is ethnic cleansing/genocide. the settlement "given" to the Palestinians in this open air concentration camp are frequently stolen by violent thuggish Israeli settlers, protected by the IDF. that's not "leaving".
The IDF left Gaza. Your assertion that Israelis steal anything in Gaza is pretty weird and is unsupported by any facts. Hamas even fought a brutal war against the Palestinian group
Fatah in Gaza and killed a bunch and kicked out or imprisoned the rest.
A place with open beaches and malls and markets and restaurants is not a concentration camp. Take a trip to Aushwitz and then to Gaza - there’s a tremendous difference.
your comment is pretty much propaganda. open beaches and malls and markets and toxic water and unsafe food the kids killed by brutal IDF thugs and bombs is not the pretty mall you describe. Israel controls the supplies going in like prison guards, and has made calculations how to provide inadequate nutrition. bombing hospitals does not enhance the pleasure of eating at a local restaurant, assuming you survive the experience.
Oh we’ve got a Holocaust denier or outright Nazi sympathizer or maybe a real Nazi. You forgot to mention the gas chambers and ovens. The Palestinian Arabs have it nice, Israeli Arabs even better. Individual rights and a nice standard of living, with no gas chambers and no ovens.
Hamas didn't start this war, Mossad/Shin ba executed a false flag, blamed it on Hamas and then launched a propaganda campaign to cover up their genocidal response.
Hamas livestreamed its atrocities and has been proud to claim it started it. Why don’t you take a trip to Gaza and see how long you last denying their “accomplishment” ?
Right, Hamas does exactly as their mossad master instruct them to do. Im not saying they are lying just that the entire war has been and remains a false flag to justify genocide.
Do you not understand modern terrorists organizations?
They are fronts for governments to commit atrocities and foment war. Hamas is not a grass roots organization representing the people, it is a political tool created, trained and funded by Israel.
Yes, that's how I see it. They have such a long history of false flags that you really have to be suspicious of everything. It seems like we have a lot of allegations and claims from the Israeli govt of Hamas (Mossad) crimes, but where is the evidence? Much of the claims turned out to be lies (e.g. 40 beheaded babies, the rape story). If there were real crimes, then why resort to atrocity propaganda? And I've seen endless videos of injured Palestinians in the hospital, but haven't seen the same of Israelis.
The organized immediate propaganda onslaught is a sign that it was preplanned, story lines don't develop naturally the same way as propaganda launches.
You could have used comparable arguments to show that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was unjustified. "Jews were given their very own open air concentration camp which they ungratefully trashed. It even had theaters and a Kehillah and restaurants (it in fact, did have these things). But no...."
You forget the Nazis periodically shipped Warsaw Ghetto residents to concentration camps to be gassed and burned in ovens. The Jews who rose up in the Warsaw Ghetto did not rape and torture and mutilate German women or behead German babies.
Occupying means you have troops on site. Israel and Egypt have imposed a limited blockade on Gaza with respect to weapons and items with military applications. Given all the weapons Hamas has, the arms blockade was not terribly effective. It is possible you are not a native English speaker and do not understand what “occupy” means. But under the standard use of the term, Israel ceased to occupy Gaza in any sense when it removed all its troops in 2006.
And that it is occupied by the state of Israel. And that under the conventions of the United Nations Israel has specific duty of care to the occupants of Gaza. And that Israel is in breach of all its humanitarian responsibilities under those rules. Which Israel is party to as a member of the UN.
Not coincidentally Israel is insulting and has been insulting the U.N. for daring to demand that it follows the rules that all occupying powers are responsible for.
And then we get the inevitable digital sock puppet army, trying to spread lies of fudge or cloud.
But Palestine is not occupied territory because there are IMAGINARY FARIES there holding them shooting and bombing them and controlling their electricity water and food. It’s ISRAEL occupying Palestine.
Israel is occupying Gaza and is committing war crimes there. Every day for over a decade now.
I am disheartened over the genocide the west, of which my birth-nation and my current residence nation belongs, is co-responsible for. I, clearly, as many, either here, in UK, and there, in Italy, have no meaningful-way to stop it: it's now evident my vote doesn't count and my voice isn't heard... I can just whine on social media and rage on twitter. Still, l I am a contributor to the economy and to society as a whole: am I corresponsable? At what point being a small wheel in a big equipment makes you part of the homicidal machine? And what are the options to escape it?
Well I think they are getting ready to throw us all into their "War Machine". I keep remembering the documentary "While We All Die" (We being you and I) while the Criminal Elite get to hang around in underground cities and personal bunkers. They have planned this a long time.
Average people don't pay taxes: direct taxes are detracted from paycheck before its paid, indirect taxes are collected whenever buying something and property taxes or service taxes can't be avoided, being subject to the forcible confiscation of the property itself or the end of the service. The only way to not pay taxes is either hermitage or dying... so, no: not paying taxes it's not an option
Taxes don't fund spending at the Federal level anyway, if you live in the UK or the US. Both countries have a fiat currency. Please learn Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) because it explains how the monetary system works.
And come talk to me when you really know it. Don't bother to repeat some gossip that you heard about it.
You can find out about it on YouTube on The Rogue Scholar, MMT Mondays, Macro'n'Cheese, or Real Progressives. Stephanie Kelton also has several great videos on YouTube about it.
I’ll take your word for it that the gossip I have heard about it (crudely put, money is a human creation, so if you need more, just print more) is misleading. Thank you for the leads.
P.S. MMT is an empirical look at how a monetary system works. It's like a scientist looking through a microscope at a microorganism. It's not something you "do." You can't say that the microscope is something you "do." You just use it to look at something.
The establishment doesn't care about protests or marches, they are not afraid of losing your vote. The only thing they worry about is the loss of the money printing press. A collapse of the dollar is the only thing that will end the war industries death orgy.
Look up the work of the late Dr Gene Sharp. He was a Harvard professor who spent his life studying nonviolent civil disobedience. He wrote From Dictatorship to Democracy and there's a documentary about him called How to Start a Revolution. You can find them on eBay or from the Einstein Institution in Boston MA USA.
I’ll take your views into consideration, Che. I don’t like that your comments disappeared. Perhaps I’ll look into giving to If Americans Knew instead. Thanks for the head’s up.
The world wide "turnout" after the murder of George Floyd led to some significant actions/changes (never enough)...I am thinking, Maybe.....People are starting to wake up. It's images that do it. The video of Floyd being killed: no one could stand it and I knew the jury would say, "guilty" because one just can't justify that no matter what the defense puts up.
Images of the slaying of Israelis were very powerful. Wait for the some even worse images to come out of Gaza..................BTW: I was wondering: where can I contribute?....Thanks, Jeano
THANK YOU! Long read....went through about half of it, saved in Israel file. I'm doing a "doctorate' on this ...at 84, it sure is great being able to learn and learn to piece this big puzzle together. I have been curious about the Jews since the early '60's when I found out about what happened in Germany. Kept my ear to the ground...living in pretty Jewish NYC, one does not get info. from Jewish friends...lips buttoned shut.
I "Smell" a Worldwide Military Draft!! It allows the Globalists to implement a massive forced vaccination program, and it is their way of thinning out the herd that these demons want!! We are in a disguised global war with the so-called 1%, and most people are oblivious to this!!
Has anybody noticed White House press secretaries don't last very long? They end up lying themselves out existence and out of a job. Perpetual lying is a perpetual disconnect from reality and the human psyche can only withstand it for so long . Too many senior politicians are zombies living on by the lies they tell and the grotesque damage they do.
I'm just wondering if either America or Israel, or both, have prayed to the gods they claim they believe in and are led by about what to do concerning the Gaza region conflict. Nah, I'm a 100% sure they didn't. Countries ruled by evil don't care one iota about who and how many souls they annihilate.
Have you read the OT?? It's about nothing BUT a vindictive , violent and authoritarian "god". They're following the example set by religion. I'm right, you're wrong, you need to die.
In Genesis or Exodus, that same God gave the Israelites the go-ahead, even the command, to slaughter the Canaanites (including women, children, and babies) and take their land. Crusades, settler colonialism, can all be traced back there.
I think there's a lot of truth in the Bible. You just have to look for it. I think it's our history and (tragically) our model of correct behavior. I would suggest you read "The Lost Book of Enki" - an earlier and alternative take on the history of Genesis. And to my mind, more historically accurate.
So, what you're essentially saying is that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is totally OK because the Bible states that it's required living as an Israelite. 🤔
I'm familiar with the 2nd coming of Christ. What does that have to do with supposedly "God-fearing" countries who don't pray before killing people in cold blood?
I was raised Roman Catholic. When I was sitting through an endless sermon on Sunday morning, I always wondered what the hell I was doing there when I could be enjoying the great outdoors.
I've been hearing about this topic as a churchgoer for 40 years. Could it be that our generation is the one that witnesses Christ coming to rapture the saved?
Within 3 months, according to a Duran analytst, the derivatives market is going to collapse, 2008 on metamphetamine.
Plan A, was to provoke, defeat, and asset-strip Russia to pay the West's debts, with the rest of the World cowed by what happened to Russia. This failed.
This isn't war, it is the endless bombing and starvation of the Palestinian people' by Israel. If it is war where is Palestine's army, navy, and air force.
No, it's not. It's a genocide conducted in flagrant defiance of international law.
"Innocent citizens are going to be hurt going forward."
No, innocent citizens are going to be brutally shredded with massive campaigns using advanced military bombs. More than 6,000 Palestinians have already been massacred.
"This is combat."
No, this is a one-sided mass aerial bombardment.
"We will do everything we can to help the Israelis limit it."
By that we mean sending two carrier strike groups, eleven Burke-class destroyers, a number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers, amphibious assault ships, THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems, multiple squadrons of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and undisclosed assets. At least $13B. And 2000 Marines.
Retired US Navy Admiral John Kirby embodies the genocidal agenda of our military and political leaders who wage constant wars against countries that have our resources (gas and oil) under their soil. He shrugs and calmly states that "it is going to happen" because WE need those resources and the Palestinians are unfortunately in the way. This war could not happen without full US support as we feed the vicious, rabid poodle called Israel.
This soulless SOB should be hung from the gallows, along with anyone else who advocates for supporting this war. Peace will never be possible absent the complete cleansing of this mentality.
There must be a new Nuremberg trial with teeth... to rid the world of this rapidly spreading cancer. The goal is to reduce the world's population by 7 billion, and imprison those who remain in 15 minute cities, awaiting their untimely end after mandatory jabs that sterilize the recipients and destroy what little remains of their immune system. The jab hasn't worked fast enough so mass death from bombs and missiles is the only remaining option. And our leaders are incentivized to not stand in the way.
But "conventional" bombs and missiles are not going to help Israel or the US in this war. They will resort to using nukes out of desperation.
Once Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen and Lebanon unleash their missiles you'll see this theater explode in a way few can imagine. The US and Israel will have no option but to resort to nukes once the carrier groups in the Med, Red Sea etc are sunk and all US bases in the Middle East are attacked. Sane minds in the US will more than likely not prevail... especially with the genocidal Netanyahu at Israel's helm.
The jab was meant to preclude that possibility, and the night is young with respect to it's long term effects on those who chose to take it.
That's right I've had 4 Poodles in my life and the last one was my best friend for over 22 years! Poodles are loyal though but definitely not "Rabid"! You have to be human for that to truly mean what it depicts!
What I call Biden's 'Day Of Shame' was October 18th,: that was the day he gave Netanyahu carte blanch to massacre Palestinians, the day that the USA vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution for a humanitarian pause to the siege and bombing, and, worst of all he made a PR point that he had negotiated just 20 trucks to be allowed to enter Gaza to serve the desperate humanitarian needs of 2.2 million people caged in an area the size of Washington DC being bombed to oblivion.
That day brought shame on America and it's getting worse.
“Dehistorizing Oct 7” is an illuminating lecture by Israeli historian Llan Pappé.” The Israeli historian explains the history essential to understanding the current attacks on Gaza and the danger of suppressing that history. He spoke last Thursday at UC Berkeley.” See Consortiumnews.com. Obviously, our neoliberal hawks Biden included - have either learned this history and have given it the finger, or have not learned it, or are Zionists themselves - consciously or unconsciously- in their apparent moral immunity to the slaughter of Palestinians. Palestinians with no escape routes are mere fish in the barrel to be exterminated. Professor Pappé explained that one pillar of Zionism has been and is the extinguishing of the indigenous population of Israel. And the insult to us by our government of calling this a war suggests Biden and his neoliberal hawk triplets- Nuland, Sullivan and Blinken - have a very dim view of us citizens. Intentionally parading a lie that we are unable to recognize and name what we are seeing with our own eyes is anything but a war. It is a slaughter, (of Palestinians labeled by Israel’s Defense Ministre as “human animals,) toward which Biden is throwing billions of our tax monies to its furtherance. And Biden and his ilk cannot understand why his polling numbers are sickly. Is the canary in the mine alerting the citizenry and world that this is what the core of USA leadership actually is beneath the high fallutin grandiosity of bringing democracy to the world.
The three biggest categories of expenditures are: Major health programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Social security. Defense and security.7 days ago (inuit.com)
Liberal interventionist hand-wringers. The worst scum. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they throw out some statements of grief and concern about the inhuman actions they are supporting.
Its truly a sad statement that this position from the government doesn't surprise m in anyway. They care nothing about human life, they care nothing about ethical treatment of civilians, they only view civilians as a soft target to be used to accomplish their goals. We have all watched the US kill civilians many times, this is just another instance.
I am suffering from mortal shame over the genocide the United States is perpetrating. I am sick unto death.
Yes. Finding it difficult to eat while thousands of people are being massacred. This is NOT a war.
Jenny, I’m an actual empath and I’ve lost six lbs. that I didn’t need to lose since IsraHell began its attempted genocide. I just end up scraping my dinner plate into the garbage.
You have to eat or you will lose energy.
A year ago I had a bad time with malnutrition because of depression. Really screwed up my body.
Hugs
Thank you Jenny ❤️
I do have a history of anorexia.
What you need is gallons of love................sending it now.
Jenny, love right back to you ❤️
I hope you pull through OK. When I was younger, I was bullimic. That turned into anorexia. At that time nobody talked about eating disorders. I went to a doctor when I couldn't keep any food down and had lost a huge amount of weight. He yelled at me and told me that if I didn't eat, I would die. It really scared me.

Thank you Susan. As a teenager, I was full-blown anorexic. I managed to somewhat recover, but since then I have a real love-hate relationship with food. I still don’t believe I know what “normal” eating is.
My sympathies.
I can't sleep it is so horrifying.
Me too you guys.
GOSH! Now, it's all about yourselves! Pathetic.
We are SPEAKING of the effects that human suffering has on the rest of humanity. If you can go about your daily life and not be affected by the carnage, fuckin’ good on ya.
One of the best things for us all is to be kind to one another. Iy's called empathy!
Yes, but if you keep voting for the same two parties of war for profit, then you will also be complicit in greenwashing their sins.
It's time for Americans to grow some backbones and stand up for what is morally right and tell those in government who support genocide where to go--straight to hell. And then demonstrate their resolve to make the world a better place at the ballot box. (Vote Green: "People, planet and peace over (corporate) profits.")
That's the heart of the matter. You've expressed it as it truly is.
I'm expressing "my concerns" also. Concerns that we are aiding Israel in a ground invasion.....!! .......I'm starting to hate the USA! Yes. I'll vote for Biden, because, goodgod, the other guy is totally off the rails. But, maybe, he's closer to the reality of the human race: a bunch of real F-ups.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
Exactly. Can someone be "lesser dead"? No, evil is just evil. And Americans have been brainwashed into thinking they have an actual choice at the ballot box. Time to grow up and stop voting for the evil of the duopoly. (Vote Green: "People, planet and peace over (corporate) profits.")
Cornel West.
Are you fucking nuts?
Ever heard of THIRD PARTIES?
I’ll vote for RFKJ
And pressure him to change his mind about Israel
He can't possibly win if he continues unilaterally supporting Israel. He also can't possibly win if he appears to support Israel's destruction. To be consistent, he needs to oppose war, genocide, occupation, and the US funding thereof. If he can't do that he is toast.
He keeps saying "heal the divide," well baby, here's your challenge.
😂😂😂
He's not a sane candidate.
Based on what?
Ick. Zionazi.
Ick.
The Israelis in Gaza are provoking the Arab countries the way Nato in Ukraine provoked Russia. An empire in decline must do what an empire in decline must do.
And of course they are on a recruiting campaign, encouraging young Palestinians - and others - to take up arms and become violent militants.
"Violent militants" is what the imperialists call resistance fighters,
People have lots of different names for them. You know the old saying: "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."
Does anyone remember "The Battle of Algiers"? The young woman who went into a French café to plant a bomb, and saw the maybe year-, year and a half–old baby she was going to kill?
Does anyone remember what the French were doing?
Yes. And I think the filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo was saying “This is the price.” It was a morally ambiguous moment. Why does that baby have to pay that price? How does that woman feel about killing that other mother’s baby? It was not simple. It was riveting.
If Israel had done the same thing to ordinary Texans for fifty years, what do
you think Texans would have done?

No one in Israel ever promised anyone in Gaza that they would never move an inch west.
Even if they had, it would make no difference, as Israel has reneged on so many promises.
The only thing that matters to them is their maniacal Zionism.
That brings to mind a quote by Lakota Chief Red Cloud, concerning the US government:
You promised us many things and kept only one. You promised to take our land, and you did it.
reneged on signed promises.
Even if Gaza had a population of old people Israel’s bombardment, occupation, Apartheid laws, ethnic cleansing, genocide, settlement activity and blockade would still be wrong.
Israel left Gaza in 2006. It does not occupy it. There is no ethnic cleansing in Gaza. No genocide either. The settlements in Gaza were given to Palestinians who promptly trashed them. Gaza by the way was not a hellhole or open air prison. It had nice beaches and apartment buildings. Heck it even had a Taco restaurant. Gaza could have prospered in peace. But Hamas wanted a war.
naw, there is ethnic cleansing/genocide. the settlement "given" to the Palestinians in this open air concentration camp are frequently stolen by violent thuggish Israeli settlers, protected by the IDF. that's not "leaving".
The IDF left Gaza. Your assertion that Israelis steal anything in Gaza is pretty weird and is unsupported by any facts. Hamas even fought a brutal war against the Palestinian group
Fatah in Gaza and killed a bunch and kicked out or imprisoned the rest.
A place with open beaches and malls and markets and restaurants is not a concentration camp. Take a trip to Aushwitz and then to Gaza - there’s a tremendous difference.
IsraHell is relentlessly bombing a captive population…sure sounds like Shangri-la to me.
I suggest you return to paid-hasbarist.com.
your comment is pretty much propaganda. open beaches and malls and markets and toxic water and unsafe food the kids killed by brutal IDF thugs and bombs is not the pretty mall you describe. Israel controls the supplies going in like prison guards, and has made calculations how to provide inadequate nutrition. bombing hospitals does not enhance the pleasure of eating at a local restaurant, assuming you survive the experience.
Oh we’ve got a Holocaust denier or outright Nazi sympathizer or maybe a real Nazi. You forgot to mention the gas chambers and ovens. The Palestinian Arabs have it nice, Israeli Arabs even better. Individual rights and a nice standard of living, with no gas chambers and no ovens.
Does the Koolaid taste great?
Hamas didn't start this war, Mossad/Shin ba executed a false flag, blamed it on Hamas and then launched a propaganda campaign to cover up their genocidal response.
Hamas livestreamed its atrocities and has been proud to claim it started it. Why don’t you take a trip to Gaza and see how long you last denying their “accomplishment” ?
Right, Hamas does exactly as their mossad master instruct them to do. Im not saying they are lying just that the entire war has been and remains a false flag to justify genocide.
Do you not understand modern terrorists organizations?
They are fronts for governments to commit atrocities and foment war. Hamas is not a grass roots organization representing the people, it is a political tool created, trained and funded by Israel.
Yes, that's how I see it. They have such a long history of false flags that you really have to be suspicious of everything. It seems like we have a lot of allegations and claims from the Israeli govt of Hamas (Mossad) crimes, but where is the evidence? Much of the claims turned out to be lies (e.g. 40 beheaded babies, the rape story). If there were real crimes, then why resort to atrocity propaganda? And I've seen endless videos of injured Palestinians in the hospital, but haven't seen the same of Israelis.
The organized immediate propaganda onslaught is a sign that it was preplanned, story lines don't develop naturally the same way as propaganda launches.
You could have used comparable arguments to show that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was unjustified. "Jews were given their very own open air concentration camp which they ungratefully trashed. It even had theaters and a Kehillah and restaurants (it in fact, did have these things). But no...."
You forget the Nazis periodically shipped Warsaw Ghetto residents to concentration camps to be gassed and burned in ovens. The Jews who rose up in the Warsaw Ghetto did not rape and torture and mutilate German women or behead German babies.
So if the Germans simply confined people in concentration camps, that would make it okay.
And the "beheading babies" has long been debunked.

Israel did not “leave” Gaza. It occupies it and has full control over its borders, upon which it has imposed a blockade for more than a decade now.
https://www.icrc.org/en/document/ihl-occupying-power-responsibilities-occupied-palestinian-territories
Your statement is therefore factually incorrect. Or in plain english, a LIE.
Israel is copying Gaza. And the West Bank of Palestine. And the Golan Heights of Syria.
Occupying means you have troops on site. Israel and Egypt have imposed a limited blockade on Gaza with respect to weapons and items with military applications. Given all the weapons Hamas has, the arms blockade was not terribly effective. It is possible you are not a native English speaker and do not understand what “occupy” means. But under the standard use of the term, Israel ceased to occupy Gaza in any sense when it removed all its troops in 2006.
You don’t get to make up fake definitions.
The UN status of all Palestinian lands including Gaza, is that is it an occupied territory - by Israel.

Israel is occupying Gaza and is committing war crimes there. Every day for over a decade now.
Boy, are you uninformed. Where do you get this bullshit from? Your imagination?
You being, perhaps, on this site, paying or free, makes me wonder about the value of paying for it for myself.
Who ARE you???
I am disheartened over the genocide the west, of which my birth-nation and my current residence nation belongs, is co-responsible for. I, clearly, as many, either here, in UK, and there, in Italy, have no meaningful-way to stop it: it's now evident my vote doesn't count and my voice isn't heard... I can just whine on social media and rage on twitter. Still, l I am a contributor to the economy and to society as a whole: am I corresponsable? At what point being a small wheel in a big equipment makes you part of the homicidal machine? And what are the options to escape it?
Well I think they are getting ready to throw us all into their "War Machine". I keep remembering the documentary "While We All Die" (We being you and I) while the Criminal Elite get to hang around in underground cities and personal bunkers. They have planned this a long time.
If everyone in the empire stopped paying taxes ... dream on.
Average people don't pay taxes: direct taxes are detracted from paycheck before its paid, indirect taxes are collected whenever buying something and property taxes or service taxes can't be avoided, being subject to the forcible confiscation of the property itself or the end of the service. The only way to not pay taxes is either hermitage or dying... so, no: not paying taxes it's not an option
it is possible if youa re willing to go to war over it, most people are not.
Yeah ... I know.
Taxes don't fund spending at the Federal level anyway, if you live in the UK or the US. Both countries have a fiat currency. Please learn Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) because it explains how the monetary system works.
And come talk to me when you really know it. Don't bother to repeat some gossip that you heard about it.
You can find out about it on YouTube on The Rogue Scholar, MMT Mondays, Macro'n'Cheese, or Real Progressives. Stephanie Kelton also has several great videos on YouTube about it.
I’ll take your word for it that the gossip I have heard about it (crudely put, money is a human creation, so if you need more, just print more) is misleading. Thank you for the leads.
I decided to put in leads when I found that most people didn't know how to find the real scuttlebutt. Thanks!
P.S. MMT is an empirical look at how a monetary system works. It's like a scientist looking through a microscope at a microorganism. It's not something you "do." You can't say that the microscope is something you "do." You just use it to look at something.
Being a member of the human race? Sorry. Guilty all around. All of us, even the women, who stay home (if they still have one).
The establishment doesn't care about protests or marches, they are not afraid of losing your vote. The only thing they worry about is the loss of the money printing press. A collapse of the dollar is the only thing that will end the war industries death orgy.
Look up the work of the late Dr Gene Sharp. He was a Harvard professor who spent his life studying nonviolent civil disobedience. He wrote From Dictatorship to Democracy and there's a documentary about him called How to Start a Revolution. You can find them on eBay or from the Einstein Institution in Boston MA USA.
I contribute monthly to the excellent website Mondoweiss and have them written into my will. I wish I could do more, but my only income is SS.
I’ll take your views into consideration, Che. I don’t like that your comments disappeared. Perhaps I’ll look into giving to If Americans Knew instead. Thanks for the head’s up.
The world wide "turnout" after the murder of George Floyd led to some significant actions/changes (never enough)...I am thinking, Maybe.....People are starting to wake up. It's images that do it. The video of Floyd being killed: no one could stand it and I knew the jury would say, "guilty" because one just can't justify that no matter what the defense puts up.
Images of the slaying of Israelis were very powerful. Wait for the some even worse images to come out of Gaza..................BTW: I was wondering: where can I contribute?....Thanks, Jeano
Mondoweiss. If Americans Knew. Electronic Intifada, for starters.
Oh , and practice BDS.
THANK YOU! Long read....went through about half of it, saved in Israel file. I'm doing a "doctorate' on this ...at 84, it sure is great being able to learn and learn to piece this big puzzle together. I have been curious about the Jews since the early '60's when I found out about what happened in Germany. Kept my ear to the ground...living in pretty Jewish NYC, one does not get info. from Jewish friends...lips buttoned shut.
Thanks for covering this appalling inhumane take on where we're at. How disgusting that this is the Norm.
I "Smell" a Worldwide Military Draft!! It allows the Globalists to implement a massive forced vaccination program, and it is their way of thinning out the herd that these demons want!! We are in a disguised global war with the so-called 1%, and most people are oblivious to this!!
There is the real rotten core issue showing up again!
Well said
Warren Buffett said, "There is a class war and we are winning it."
Very deep thought
Has anybody noticed White House press secretaries don't last very long? They end up lying themselves out existence and out of a job. Perpetual lying is a perpetual disconnect from reality and the human psyche can only withstand it for so long . Too many senior politicians are zombies living on by the lies they tell and the grotesque damage they do.
Correction: not out of a job. They recycle into the media, for one example.
It's representative of the entire American nation.
Hey! No fair! I'M an American and I have disagreed with what the government has been doing since 1968.
👏👏👏👏
Now if we could just find a fast way to rot the core of these people we could have a better chance of the sun coming up tomorrow!
Their cores are already rotten. It's just that they don't die from it.
I'm just wondering if either America or Israel, or both, have prayed to the gods they claim they believe in and are led by about what to do concerning the Gaza region conflict. Nah, I'm a 100% sure they didn't. Countries ruled by evil don't care one iota about who and how many souls they annihilate.
Have you read the OT?? It's about nothing BUT a vindictive , violent and authoritarian "god". They're following the example set by religion. I'm right, you're wrong, you need to die.
In Genesis or Exodus, that same God gave the Israelites the go-ahead, even the command, to slaughter the Canaanites (including women, children, and babies) and take their land. Crusades, settler colonialism, can all be traced back there.
Oh PLEASE STOP with the Bible-based nonsense. The Bible is nothing but a big book of violent stories. The Brothers Grimm did it much better.
😂
I think there's a lot of truth in the Bible. You just have to look for it. I think it's our history and (tragically) our model of correct behavior. I would suggest you read "The Lost Book of Enki" - an earlier and alternative take on the history of Genesis. And to my mind, more historically accurate.
Freedom...it's a glorious feeling.
Me too. I sat down and read the Judeo-Christian bible without prejudice whether it was holy scrip or not. Holy moly!
It contradicts itself internally.
It was written by a bunch of ancient self-serving Hebrew good ol' boys.
Thanks, Ernesto. But contrary to what some might think, I’m very spiritual. I’m Pagan and my Higher Power is Nature.
Me either 😁
So, what you're essentially saying is that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is totally OK because the Bible states that it's required living as an Israelite. 🤔
No! I'm not saying it's OK! I'm saying the whole fucking tradition is not OK.
Apologies for my misunderstanding. I agree with you that it's not OK.
I don't think that's what she said at all. She said nothing about justifying it.
Read Matthew 24!!
I'm familiar with the 2nd coming of Christ. What does that have to do with supposedly "God-fearing" countries who don't pray before killing people in cold blood?
Predicted 2,000 years ago by the Messiah!!
I was raised Roman Catholic. When I was sitting through an endless sermon on Sunday morning, I always wondered what the hell I was doing there when I could be enjoying the great outdoors.
End Times prophecy? Hmmm 🤔
I've been hearing about this topic as a churchgoer for 40 years. Could it be that our generation is the one that witnesses Christ coming to rapture the saved?
Don't hold your breath
😂
I'm definitely not.
No thanks.
So you are the one that's causing all this mayhem.
Within 3 months, according to a Duran analytst, the derivatives market is going to collapse, 2008 on metamphetamine.
Plan A, was to provoke, defeat, and asset-strip Russia to pay the West's debts, with the rest of the World cowed by what happened to Russia. This failed.
There is no Plan B.

This isn't war, it is the endless bombing and starvation of the Palestinian people' by Israel. If it is war where is Palestine's army, navy, and air force.
Like shooting fish in a barrel!
"This is war."
No, it's not. It's a genocide conducted in flagrant defiance of international law.
"Innocent citizens are going to be hurt going forward."
No, innocent citizens are going to be brutally shredded with massive campaigns using advanced military bombs. More than 6,000 Palestinians have already been massacred.
"This is combat."
No, this is a one-sided mass aerial bombardment.
"We will do everything we can to help the Israelis limit it."
By that we mean sending two carrier strike groups, eleven Burke-class destroyers, a number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers, amphibious assault ships, THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems, multiple squadrons of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and undisclosed assets. At least $13B. And 2000 Marines.
Retired US Navy Admiral John Kirby embodies the genocidal agenda of our military and political leaders who wage constant wars against countries that have our resources (gas and oil) under their soil. He shrugs and calmly states that "it is going to happen" because WE need those resources and the Palestinians are unfortunately in the way. This war could not happen without full US support as we feed the vicious, rabid poodle called Israel.
This soulless SOB should be hung from the gallows, along with anyone else who advocates for supporting this war. Peace will never be possible absent the complete cleansing of this mentality.
There must be a new Nuremberg trial with teeth... to rid the world of this rapidly spreading cancer. The goal is to reduce the world's population by 7 billion, and imprison those who remain in 15 minute cities, awaiting their untimely end after mandatory jabs that sterilize the recipients and destroy what little remains of their immune system. The jab hasn't worked fast enough so mass death from bombs and missiles is the only remaining option. And our leaders are incentivized to not stand in the way.

A) That's a little unfair to poodles.
B) They had bombs and missiles a long time before the jab.
Apologies to our canine friends, Susan.
But "conventional" bombs and missiles are not going to help Israel or the US in this war. They will resort to using nukes out of desperation.
Once Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen and Lebanon unleash their missiles you'll see this theater explode in a way few can imagine. The US and Israel will have no option but to resort to nukes once the carrier groups in the Med, Red Sea etc are sunk and all US bases in the Middle East are attacked. Sane minds in the US will more than likely not prevail... especially with the genocidal Netanyahu at Israel's helm.
The jab was meant to preclude that possibility, and the night is young with respect to it's long term effects on those who chose to take it.
That's right I've had 4 Poodles in my life and the last one was my best friend for over 22 years! Poodles are loyal though but definitely not "Rabid"! You have to be human for that to truly mean what it depicts!
What I call Biden's 'Day Of Shame' was October 18th,: that was the day he gave Netanyahu carte blanch to massacre Palestinians, the day that the USA vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution for a humanitarian pause to the siege and bombing, and, worst of all he made a PR point that he had negotiated just 20 trucks to be allowed to enter Gaza to serve the desperate humanitarian needs of 2.2 million people caged in an area the size of Washington DC being bombed to oblivion.
That day brought shame on America and it's getting worse.
“Dehistorizing Oct 7” is an illuminating lecture by Israeli historian Llan Pappé.” The Israeli historian explains the history essential to understanding the current attacks on Gaza and the danger of suppressing that history. He spoke last Thursday at UC Berkeley.” See Consortiumnews.com. Obviously, our neoliberal hawks Biden included - have either learned this history and have given it the finger, or have not learned it, or are Zionists themselves - consciously or unconsciously- in their apparent moral immunity to the slaughter of Palestinians. Palestinians with no escape routes are mere fish in the barrel to be exterminated. Professor Pappé explained that one pillar of Zionism has been and is the extinguishing of the indigenous population of Israel. And the insult to us by our government of calling this a war suggests Biden and his neoliberal hawk triplets- Nuland, Sullivan and Blinken - have a very dim view of us citizens. Intentionally parading a lie that we are unable to recognize and name what we are seeing with our own eyes is anything but a war. It is a slaughter, (of Palestinians labeled by Israel’s Defense Ministre as “human animals,) toward which Biden is throwing billions of our tax monies to its furtherance. And Biden and his ilk cannot understand why his polling numbers are sickly. Is the canary in the mine alerting the citizenry and world that this is what the core of USA leadership actually is beneath the high fallutin grandiosity of bringing democracy to the world.
Taxes don't fund spending at the Federal level.
Where does our tax money go?
The three biggest categories of expenditures are: Major health programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Social security. Defense and security.7 days ago (inuit.com)
Liberal interventionist hand-wringers. The worst scum. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they throw out some statements of grief and concern about the inhuman actions they are supporting.
Its truly a sad statement that this position from the government doesn't surprise m in anyway. They care nothing about human life, they care nothing about ethical treatment of civilians, they only view civilians as a soft target to be used to accomplish their goals. We have all watched the US kill civilians many times, this is just another instance.
They don't care about killing their own citizens: witness the Challenger shuttle explosion and 9/11.
