Bibi is a war criminal who should be arrested at the airport and lodged in jail at The Hague. Maybe Jack Smith could be the prosecutor. He has experience prosecuting war criminals.
The owners of the media got what they wanted. I'm going to cut my subscription those media outlets who called for Biden to drop ( Yep! Mickey you are in that list too). Obviously, I'm going TO SUPPORT ANY TICKET WHO HAS KAMALA AT THE TOP, (IF Kamala IS NOT AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET the Democrat Party can kiss my vote goodbye).
Luis, I understand and share your frustration, but not voting for the Democrats would give one half of a vote to Trump.
That said, Kamala has sown up the nomination. She has enough delegates to secure the top of the ticket. She also has the money to run her campaign. All good, my friend.
Thanks a lot for the information. I appreciate it. I've to put it on capital letters because I don't trust them and want them to know what is going to happen if Kamala is not on the top. They pushed out an honorable President and they can push out a decent Vice-President too for personal ambition.
11-27- 23: Which first brings us to that month and a half old bloody conflict precipitated by Hamas's attack on Israel. Now it's a little too late to help the 11,000+ Palestinian People (mostly children, women and journalists) who were murdered from the bombing. But on one hand almost all the democratic articles I've read in the Daily Kos and other progressive news sites call for a cease fire. Which is obviously unrealistic, as virtually nobody but Bernie Sanders has pointed out what should have been done by the fascist Israeli prime minister was what he only came around to doing weeks into the bombing, telling all civilians to get the hell out of Gaza City heading South. Instead immediate response, First Genocide, Then Destroy Hamas. First thing out of the gate was Bombing all the Farms, Forcing Non-Self-Determined Starvation on the Palestinian People - a War Crime under the International United Nations Geneva Convention! And with even more various governments are taking sides in an endless battle with the Israeli and Palestinian People caught in the middle with the UN helpless to intervene.
Obviously, there won't be a Resolution to this 75 year old conflict until, once Hamas is destroyed and the Zion Nazi's are shamed out of power, the various parties and UN mediates a permanent peace accord establishing a Palestinian State with a journalistically monitored racially mixed police force to maintain that peace.
Palestinians have suffered and have been under occupation for over 75 years~ starting with the English that decided (without the consent of the Arabs and Palestinians) 178,000 Palestinians should be forced to leave their homes so that a population of Jewish people could settle there....more recently...there are a number of news sites that have reported on the "Hamas" attack..Palestinians are under occupation~ they are being denied water, fuel, medical care, electricity, housing infrastructure obliterated... schools obliterated..children dying from malnutrition..and diseases.....if an IDF soldier sees a Palestinian fishing at the beach..the IDF kills them...what would you do if you and yours were under occupation...the Palestinians have a right to resist occupation.......Net knew a few months before the music festival that there was a plan that was going to happen...he knew it would happen..from his own army that it was going to happen.. Israel had decided to participate in the killing of their own people~as they didn't want any hostages taken....aka the Hannibal Directive..here is one video on that....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZlQOjq4EvM
Thank you for pointing out Kamala’s efforts against the Israeli campaign to destroy Gaza. Perhaps I will vote for her This has not been evident in the press

you imply that absolutely nothing was done against Gaza before the October attack by Hamas. Do you not think that all of these children who have lost their entire families will just go on and live a normal life? Once Hamas is gone, do you not think that children who have nothing left to loose after this genocide will not form a new "terrorist" organization. Netenyahus actions create more and more reasons for new terrorists. Do you think that terrorists are just people who are born to grow up to be terrorists? How many journalists in Gaza have been slaughtered Before October 2023?
Rabin wanted to establish One Palestinian State, was assassinated by a Zion Nazi, Hamas in Gaza was set up by a popular vote around 2005 with blessings from Israel to keep it separate from the Palestinian Authority initially run by Arafat in the Rabin regime so they could build kibbutzes In the West Bank after that assassination.
After the Gaza attack what should have been done by the fascist Israeli prime minister was what he only came around to doing weeks into the bombing, telling all civilians to get the hell out of Gaza City heading South. Instead immediate response, First Genocide, Then Destroy Hamas. First thing out of the gate was Bombing all the Farms, a War Crime.
exactly~ 75 years of occupation of Palestinians...the Palestinians will be the people to determine who their leaders will be~ an occupied population suffering from a genocidal regime of 75 years will determine their way forward... not by any other country...Palestinians shall be free ~~~~~~
So sad to see BiBi speaking today. I love Israel and lived on a Kibbutz in the 80's.The Israeli people are loving, compassionate and carry the pain of what endured in Nazi Germany. Killing children and the elderly is far from what Israeli people promote. Bibi is Trump. Killing innocent Palatinates has zero to do with Anti Israel or Anti Semitism. Murder is Murder. Jewish or not. What a creep. Same as trump. Fakers and liars that use hate, cruelties and misinformation to fulfill their own BS and save their own asses. More Decency and Compassion. Let's Go Kamala....Kindness will prevail and Bibi will be in jail with trump.
Thank you Marcia for your balanced post. Before the attack by Hams on Israel I really thought Bibi was trying to be the tRump of Israel. What set off the invasion was the rape and murder of the attendees of the Music Festival and especially the taking of hostages. Unfortunately the past ceasefires and hostage exchanges have not restored all of hostages on both sides. That would have gone a long way towards stopping this invasion. Many Israelis are so done with this war and they just want their people back.
Thank you Gail. I love the tRump reference. Sorry about my misspelling of the Palestinian people. I was actually rushing to hear Bibi's non eventful and crappy words to Congress. The taking of all those beautiful and loving hostages is horrific, for sure, but the continual bombing and killing only serves to add more insult to injury, be it Israeli or Palestinian. We are all the same, humans and no one wants to continue to destroy life. How sad!!! Oops except for Bibi and all his haters.

I am relieved that you know the breadth and depth of Netanyahu's historic dishonesty. Along with the national shift of positive energy about our future since the torch has been passed to Kamala Harris, let's hope more truth will prevail, including the truth about Bibi's anti-Israel and anti-humanity actions that merit criminal punishment.

THIS! I couldn't agree more. In addition to VP Harris being in Indianapolis, Pres. Biden addressing the nation tonight will hopefully keep all the media attention off BIbi's speech (which I'm sure will all be lies anyway) and the GOPs political grandstanding. Kudos to those lawmakers who are boycotting.
Your commentary is one of the best I have seen to show Netanyahu for the threat he is to his own country. I so hate Hamas, but you are pointing out that Bibi really showed not only is disregard for life of the Palestinians but also the Israelites who despise him by leaving them open to the Hamas attack. I was a little irritated by your previous commentaries, which did not include the serious threat Hamas is to its own people as well as Israel. However, as usual you have done your homework and I commend your work and clarity here.
I only can see securing the area from Hamas, no not occupation. But Hamas is not a government. There is no government actually comprised of Palestinian citizens. That void must be filled in, maybe with an intermediary. The other problem is that other neighboring Muslim countries are not stepping in to help. That is a real problem.
Hamas has existed for over 35 years. https://www.dni.gov/nctc/groups/hamas.html#:~:text=BACKGROUND,structure%20inside%20the%20Palestinian%20territories.Go back before that when multiple suicide bombers entered Israel. Also note that the tunnels throughout Gaza for terrorist operations did not occur overnight. Gaza also was not occupied and operated by Israel. It was self governed. Yes it was not allowed to freely enter Israel. That is true. However, review the history leading up to that such as nearby suicide bombing and attacks. Also review the history of significant financial support to Gaza from different sources that did not reach citizens. Part of that proof is the ‘magical appearance’ of sophisticated and very expensive weaponry controlled by Hamas. We can go back further to a non-stop policy by PLO, Hamas, Hesbollah of Israel to disappear without Jews, Christians, and possibly Sunni Muslims. Review that 1972 murder in the Munich Olympic Village of Israeli athletes by the PLO. Review the initial occupation of West Bank by Jordan, with Palestinians living in Jordan, then going to war with Jordan. There is a very long thread here, with innocent civilians both Palestinian and Israeli being caught in the middle. What is happening now in Gaza is not an isolated event and can’t be treated that way.
But what would you do, if you lived in Gaza, or the West Bank and a neighbouring government moved in and occupied your home land? Other parts of the world have the US to come in and help (like in Ukraine) but look at what happens to neighbouring areas when they try to help Gaza? They then have to fight against the US supplied Israeli military. No one has the guts to help Gaza... for they would set off a world war
It was occupied by Britain. Go back to distribution of land in 1948. Also note that they were in Jordan, not Israel in the West Bank back then. Review the history.

Erica, I agree with most of what Micheal has said. I believe he is using this war for a perceived military gain. I believe he a selfish despot, and I do not view him as an Israeli Patriot, quite the contrary. But calling him a “sick Nazi” plays into every hyperbolic scare tactic that all people on the Right use to drum up hatred and fear. I understand righteous indignation; as years go by I find it serves me less and less.Do. It sink to the level of those you understandably despise. If we are not better than that, the Mothership will sink
His presence in this country at all without the explicit invitation from the President is an affront and offense to the political decorum Western countries in fact an element in an attempted coup d’etat. That Netanyahu is a participant makes him a co-conspirator, and he is not oblivious to that. The U.S., Europe and NATO should view all of this with total disdain and consider any action related to this that does not come directly from the White House to be null and void. Netanyahu must be shunned except to the extent determined necessary by the White House.
Don't forget it's the MAGA Speaker of the House supported by his MAGA Congressional membership who invited Bibi and set up today's spectacle of pomp and circumstance. It is disgraceful that they did this and even more disgraceful that Bibi accepted their invite and had fairly recently also made the exact same opportunistic play.
Bibi has made it very difficult to be a Jew in this country. He, along with Trump, have stoked an overt hatred of Jews, as evidenced by all too many anti-Semitic actions throughout this country. Largely because of those two, synagogues have armed guards posted outside their doors during business hours and on the Sabbath. We cannot open our doors to strangers -- which is completely contrary to our values. As is genocide. Thanks to these two vile men, many Jews no longer wear any symbols of Judaism, some are afraid to attend services, and, in more than a few cases, have gone so far as to remove their mezuzah from their door posts lest they be identified as Jews and a target of wrath or, worse, violence. I blame them both for the fear they have created among a people who believe in humanity and only seek peace. That said, if only we did have a space laser...
Alan, Netanyahu coming here under such circumstances makes me want to never give another tax dollar toward any funds that he will get his hands on. And I have many Jewish friends and have always supported Israel. The damage he is doing is massive. It’s as bad as Trump does to the U.S. on the international front. When he throws himself in with a cult that is trying to topple our republic, he becomes our enemy. For him to come here when not expressly invited by the White House, is an affront and offense to our legitimate government. Actually, I must say that I no longer approve of financial or military support of Israel. Perhaps cessation of all support is necessary to force the Israeli people to act.
Bibi and all of us need to "brush up on Shakespeare"
Merchant of Venice
Substitutions speak for themselves:
SHYLOCK:
" To bait fish withal. If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies, and what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Palestinian what is his humility? Revenge. If a Palestinian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Jewish example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
I think all the protestors are asking the same question, how will Humans end this madness before we disintegrate the planet?
How that Bibi smuck was allowed in the country , never mind in the Halls if Congress is beyond me!
I would like to add a great ball player named Sandy Koufax to your list of Jewish Americans who made this place a better country. Sandy, who in his hay day in with the Brooklyn Dodgers might have heard a Dodger fan yell at the opposition 'THROW THE BUM OUT'
Thank you, as always, Michael Moore, for summing up, as only you can, the depth of the atrocities we are suffering, have suffered, and will continue to suffer until the world wakes up and is able to see clearly what you see, if that were ever even possible. And to see how our own country is complicit. It is such a moral outrage. It is almost unfathomable how one leader and his henchmen and minions can have such utter power and control and instill such terrible fear in their people.We are supposed to revere and honor our American flag and the principles and values that it symbolizes and represents. And the condemnation that those,who take a knee, receive during the Pledge of Allegiance, shows, to me, how blind we are to the injustices and the hypocrisy within our own country. I wouldn’t take a knee, I would take both knees and I would pray for mercy and compassion for this poor broken world as we try to survive the threat of nuclear annihilation and the evils of tyranny and terrorism. If it is that the Truth will set us free, then you are the voice of Truth, Michael Moore, and I am so grateful for every enlightened message you send out to all of us.

Wow. Can't add to that. Bibi, go home, face your criminal trials, repent and pray for redemption.

Yes Nicola, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are all Iran and Iran is stirring the pot.
do you thus agree with the occupation of Gaza? Hamas did not exist before this.
I only can see securing the area from Hamas, no not occupation. But Hamas is not a government. There is no government actually comprised of Palestinian citizens. That void must be filled in, maybe with an intermediary. The other problem is that other neighboring Muslim countries are not stepping in to help. That is a real problem.
The Israeli occupation was the action that cause Hamas to form. Desperate people with no alternatives....Hamas did not exist before the occupation
Hamas has existed for over 35 years. https://www.dni.gov/nctc/groups/hamas.html#:~:text=BACKGROUND,structure%20inside%20the%20Palestinian%20territories.Go back before that when multiple suicide bombers entered Israel.

Other parts of the world have the US to come in and help (like in Ukraine) but look at what happens to neighbouring areas when they try to help Gaza? They then have to fight against the US supplied Israeli military. No one has the guts to help Gaza... for they would set off a world war
It was occupied by Britain. Go back to distribution of land in 1948. Also note that they were in Jordan, not Israel in the West Bank back then. Review the history.
11-27- 23: Which first brings us to that month and a half old bloody conflict precipitated by Hamas's attack on Israel. Now it's a little too late to help the 11,000+ Palestinian People (mostly children, women and journalists) who were murdered from the bombing. But on one hand almost all the democratic articles I've read in the Daily Kos and other progressive news sites call for a cease fire. Which is obviously unrealistic, as virtually nobody but Bernie Sanders has pointed out what should have been done by the fascist Israeli prime minister was what he only came around to doing weeks into the bombing, telling all civilians to get the hell out of Gaza City heading South. Instead immediate response, First Genocide, Then Destroy Hamas. First thing out of the gate was Bombing all the Farms, Forcing Non-Self-Determined Starvation on the Palestinian People - a War Crime under the International United Nations Geneva Convention! And with even more various governments are taking sides in an endless battle with the Israeli and Palestinian People caught in the middle with the UN helpless to intervene.
Obviously, there won't be a Resolution to this 75 year old conflict until, once Hamas is destroyed and the Zion Nazi's are shamed out of power, the various parties and UN mediates a permanent peace accord establishing a Palestinian State with a journalistically monitored racially mixed police force to maintain that peace.
Bibi is a sick Nazi. I wish the UN would arrest him
Erica, I agree with most of what Micheal has said. I believe he is using this war for a perceived military gain. I believe he a selfish despot, and I do not view him as an Israeli Patriot, quite the contrary. But calling him a “sick Nazi” plays into every hyperbolic scare tactic that all people on the Right use to drum up hatred and fear. I understand righteous indignation; as years go by I find it serves me less and less.Do. It sink to the level of those you understandably despise. If we are not better than that, the Mothership will sink
His presence in this country at all without the explicit invitation from the President is an affront and offense to the political decorum Western countries in fact an element in an attempted coup d’etat. That Netanyahu is a participant makes him a co-conspirator, and he is not oblivious to that. The U.S., Europe and NATO should view all of this with total disdain and consider any action related to this that does not come directly from the White House to be null and void. Netanyahu must be shunned except to the extent determined necessary by the White House.
I'm waiting to hear what Kamala says about her visit with him.
I'm afraid to hear it. Afraid she'll be in an impossible position and compromised, in spite of her many strengths. Yet hoping for the best.
Don't forget it's the MAGA Speaker of the House supported by his MAGA Congressional membership who invited Bibi and set up today's spectacle of pomp and circumstance. It is disgraceful that they did this and even more disgraceful that Bibi accepted their invite and had fairly recently also made the exact same opportunistic play.
And Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries had no say in this matter? I’m relieved to hear that, haha.
Bibi has made it very difficult to be a Jew in this country. He, along with Trump, have stoked an overt hatred of Jews, as evidenced by all too many anti-Semitic actions throughout this country. Largely because of those two, synagogues have armed guards posted outside their doors during business hours and on the Sabbath. We cannot open our doors to strangers -- which is completely contrary to our values. As is genocide. Thanks to these two vile men, many Jews no longer wear any symbols of Judaism, some are afraid to attend services, and, in more than a few cases, have gone so far as to remove their mezuzah from their door posts lest they be identified as Jews and a target of wrath or, worse, violence. I blame them both for the fear they have created among a people who believe in humanity and only seek peace. That said, if only we did have a space laser...
Alan, Netanyahu coming here under such circumstances makes me want to never give another tax dollar toward any funds that he will get his hands on. And I have many Jewish friends and have always supported Israel. The damage he is doing is massive. It’s as bad as Trump does to the U.S. on the international front. When he throws himself in with a cult that is trying to topple our republic, he becomes our enemy. For him to come here when not expressly invited by the White House, is an affront and offense to our legitimate government. Actually, I must say that I no longer approve of financial or military support of Israel. Perhaps cessation of all support is necessary to force the Israeli people to act.
Bibi and all of us need to "brush up on Shakespeare"
Merchant of Venice
Substitutions speak for themselves:
SHYLOCK:
" To bait fish withal. If it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies, and what’s his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Palestinian what is his humility? Revenge. If a Palestinian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Jewish example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."
I think all the protestors are asking the same question, how will Humans end this madness before we disintegrate the planet?
Right on, Right on, Right on!
How that Bibi smuck was allowed in the country , never mind in the Halls if Congress is beyond me!
I would like to add a great ball player named Sandy Koufax to your list of Jewish Americans who made this place a better country. Sandy, who in his hay day in with the Brooklyn Dodgers might have heard a Dodger fan yell at the opposition 'THROW THE BUM OUT'
Thank you, as always, Michael Moore, for summing up, as only you can, the depth of the atrocities we are suffering, have suffered, and will continue to suffer until the world wakes up and is able to see clearly what you see, if that were ever even possible. And to see how our own country is complicit. It is such a moral outrage. It is almost unfathomable how one leader and his henchmen and minions can have such utter power and control and instill such terrible fear in their people.We are supposed to revere and honor our American flag and the principles and values that it symbolizes and represents. And the condemnation that those,who take a knee, receive during the Pledge of Allegiance, shows, to me, how blind we are to the injustices and the hypocrisy within our own country. I wouldn’t take a knee, I would take both knees and I would pray for mercy and compassion for this poor broken world as we try to survive the threat of nuclear annihilation and the evils of tyranny and terrorism. If it is that the Truth will set us free, then you are the voice of Truth, Michael Moore, and I am so grateful for every enlightened message you send out to all of us.
