So after the IDF slaughtered 7 volunteer chefs and food workers on Monday, we now know that World Central Kitchen, who has served more than 43M meals to Palestinians, must be a terrorist operation.
I just do not get it. When I heard that Biden is sending 2000 pound bunker busting bombs to Israel, I was speechless. After Harris made it clear that the US must insist on a ceasefire for at least six weeks to get things moving on a two-state solution and now this. I thought the Biden's people knew what they were doing. We are doomed. Jews all over the world will be terrorized by angry people blaming them for the carnage in Gaza at the hands of a ruthless dictator Netanyahu. I was sympathetic to Biden's predicatment in trying to walk a fine line between powerful right wing pro Jewish donors and the majority of Americans who are appauled at the carnage in Gaza at the hands of the IDF. Biden will lose the election if he does not stand up to the Jewish right wing lobby in the US. I want to support him because Trump is a much greater threat to world peace than the things going on in Gaza. But at some point you have to ask why the carnage is still going on with weapons that we send to Israel. I am a Jew and want Israel to make peace with the Arabs or at least normalize relations. But with the monster Netanyahu in power, over 2 million Jewish settlers in the occuppied territories illegally, and a majority of Israelis supporting Netanyahu's genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, it seems unlikely that the war will end anytime soon. I am beginning to believe that maybe Biden is just not the man for the job of President for the first time. Please help me understand how this war in Gaza keeps going on with innocent civilians being killed, maimed, wounded and starved on a daily basis. If the people of Israel do not get rid of the murderer Netanyahu, the entire world will be against Israel and as Israel goes down, so does Biden and our freedom. I am angry at Biden and demand an explanation. But the Biden administration is silent. What can we do to stop the killing and to force Israel to accept that they are on a very wrong course that will help to support the rise of authoritarian regimes all over the world. If it happend in the US with a victory by Trump, then all is lost and we are royally screwed.
Glad to be able to read your comments and truths again instead of trying, unsuccessfully to g ind them in the vast cyberspace. Please remain a voice needed to be heard by all thinking human beings.
And yet Dems want to guilt us into voting for them because they are the lesser of 2 evils? When will we stand up for the innocent lives being murdered here? When will Americans grow some kahunas?
God, I'm so thankful that you straightened this whole mess out. Like you, I long suspected that Chef Andres and his minions were of terrorist persuasion, hiding behind their phony front of trying to keep people from starving to death, with great-looking, beautifully-prepared food. So, thanks for clearing this up.
Please write to the President, to entreat him to put the brakes on delivery of more arms to Israel. He needs to hear from voters that we don’t want to be complicit in genocide. Enough is enough.
Anyone who votes for genocide Joe will betray the Palestinians. It’s a red line. If you vote pro genocide out of fear of Trump, you accept the bribe and will be on the wrong side of history. No one wants Trump and his Christian fascists but neoliberalism has fueled its rise. What do we do? Liberals despise the “deplorable” working class MAGA crowd, the same working class that liberals claim to want to empower, but MAGA despises the finger wagging shit-libs who lecture them on their bad manners while supporting war funding based on lies. I watched “60 minutes” the other night, what utter legacy media propaganda, Russophobia designed to scare old people. The elite media have helped divide us. We must find common ground somehow and realize we have more in common than not. Don’t let neoliberal’s and neocons play this con game. Stop these corporate militarist oligarchs. Don’t vote for the uniparty. Support Kucinich, support the real left and don’t fall for this scam anymore. Outside pressure and grassroots organizing is our only hope. Not the corporate state and its puppets.
Israel seems determined to kill as many Palestinians as it can, no matter if they're Hamas. The Netenyahu government is just doing what Israelis learned to do, taught by the Nazis.
When will we, Americans, stop blindly supporting the Zionists, who are in control of Israel and illegally occupying the rest of Palestine, because we have been made to feel guilty for the Holocaust carried out by NAZI government of Germany over 80 years ago. We are willing to stand by and watch the Zionists carry out a Holocaust of their own against the Palestinians. Don't equate this as an anti-semitic observation, we have three daughters-in-law and two of them are of Jewish ancestry. But as a mainline Christian [RCA] Church who sponsors a mission to the Palestinian Christians living in the West Bank, I see that the IDF is guilty of human rights as they occupy the Palestinian land. Mike, if you want to find out about what is going on in occupied Palestine I will gladly put you in contact with one of our missionaries.
Killing sous chefs and destroying hospitals are part of the same ideology. Genocide is the goal in Gaza. It is bad for the hostages who are liable to be killed by the IDF as the were last year when trying to get help and carrying a white flag and shirtless.
It is also bad for Israel which is becoming a pariah among nations.
What the US has just sent to Netanyahu will help him finish the job.
Here's what's really sad about what's happening in Gaza:
During the January 6th riot, Jim Jordan came over to Liz Cheney and said: "We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you." Cheney smacked his hand away and told him, "Get away from me. You f—ing did this.”
How does that apply to Gaza?
In this way: instead of Israel bombing the crap out of Gaza, on the pretext of "destroying Hamas" (sic), what should have happened, on October 8th, is: some non-Hamas leader in Gaza should have gotten in touch with the powers-that-be in Jerusalem and said, "Give us a week." That leader should then have gotten 2 million Gaza Palestinians to confront every single Hamas member, telling them to "leave this country; you're not welcome here anymore. If you don't, Israel will start bombing the hell out of us, in retaliation for October 7th, and it will be because YOU F***ING DID THIS!"
Naturally, that didn't happen, and most likely couldn't have happened, because, like the U. S. after 9/11, Israel had to bomb the crap out of someone—anyone!—and any attempt at diplomacy, in place of the mass murder of innocents, would have fallen on dear ears.
And so it goes, in this slaughterhouse of a world.

There will be no recovering from this terror.

Is this supposed to be funny? It's written in the same tone as a Borowitz piece, except I highly doubt he would make a joke of a crime thing heinous.

This is what can be expected when someone unleashes an army upon a civilian population in a desert.
All Isreal is doing is copy what we did during Viet Nam and that failed miserably. This will as well.
The Second Coming
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
When will we, Americans, stop blindly supporting the Zionists, who are in control of Israel and illegally occupying the rest of Palestine, because we have been made to feel guilty for the Holocaust carried out by NAZI government of Germany over 80 years ago.

I call and write the president and my representatives in Congress. What else can we do?
What I do not understand is why we can send bombs and airplanes to Isreal but not to Ucraine?
