Israel's cowardice is on full display, as its relentless attacks continue to target innocent people with no real objective apart from spreading death and destruction.George’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.
Although a pacifist, I sincerely will that you are right, George, and that resistance to Israel grows and grows.
Israel is not fighting a 'war' as it and its defender, the USA, claim. It is committing genocide and using a razed earth policy wherever it operates which, regardless of whether it is stopped or not, will mean that rebuilding will take decades.
I have virtually stopped writing about this conflict because millions of words have already been written and all right-minded, caring human beings across the World are aware that Israel has become a 'terrorist' nation and its leader, Netanyahu ought to be on trial for crimes against humanity.
That the USA continues to supply funds and armament is contrary to all for which it supposedly stands. Any credibility it had as a peace loving and just nation has evaporated with its continued support of Israel and even worse, the fact that it is now sending a new defense system and its own military personnel to operate it.
At almost 80 years old I have been aware of many brutal and contemptible 'leaders' who have caused all manner of suffering, dispossession and terror on innocent people. Netanyahu is as bad as any of them and his rhetoric and that of his defender, the USA, the height of hypocrisy.
Surely, it is past time that other nations, under the auspices of the UN, took steps to stop this insane perversion being driven by Netanyahu and the IDF, whose personnel seem to consider it humorous to demean, abuse, maim and kill innocent civilians, including children.
It is a fact that Israel was created by the perfidy of the British, in conjunction with Germany, France and the USA and to appease the Zionist lobby. It was wrong for it to happen at all. The 7 decades or so during which it has held Palestinians hostage and on many occasions killed many more than Hamas killed on 7 October 2023, almost pales into insignificance when compared to the last 12 months of genocidal assault and an apparent belief that it need not heed international law and can attack whoever it wishes with impunity. To me, that is evidence enough that the State of Israel has shown itself to be a pariah state and does not deserve to exist.
I never thought I would write such words but I am appalled that even the citizens of Israel appear to support the IDF tactics and, indeed, on the West Bank have joined in by attacking Palestinians, burning their homes, cars and crops and making their lives hell. So, to me, this supposed 'godly' nation has lost any legitimacy it ever had - and it had little of that in any event. If an elected government such as Hamas can be claimed by western nations to be a terrorist organisation, then what is Israe? Israel has committed more harm and killed more innocents by many multiples compared with any perfidy committed by the miltary wing of Hamas. Indeed, so far, in 12 months, it has dropped 1.5 times the total payload of bombs dropped on Germany in WWII.
Israel should be stopped. It should have been stopped long ago. It is time for an end to words of hypocrisy and for other nations to come together and end Israel's reign of terror and arrest those who command it.
The US is also a terrorist nation. It committed a genocide by ethnically cleansing Native Americans and by creating wars everywhere. So to that notion that US was a just, peace seeker is false.
Yes, Judy, it certainly would come as no surprise to me or, I suspect, many many others.
What is happening would be beyond belief if we weren't witnessing it. What's more, I wonder just what the depth of depravity and cruelty is of which we are not aware because of Israel's opacity by limiting or preventing access by journalists - who I'd like to. acknowledge have shown and are showing outstanding courage in reporting what they can.
So saddening. Pure terrorizing tactic is rather obvious tied to zealotry. Way out of hand. Although this is the now it appears medieval for our time. Commsensereason
This heartbreaking horror show must end . The curtain has been pulled back to reveal the cruelty, deception and madness of Israel and the complicity of the US and Western leaders. The lies have been exposed over and over at the expense of thousands of innocent lives . They are not ultimately unstoppable and how can we as the nations of the world keep watching without recourse ? I am also a pacifist but words and exposure of evil have not been effective enough in curtailing this Genocide
Israel only good at picking on helpless children & women like that have in Gaza. They've been killing since the first day they set foot in Palestine 75 years ago and they haven't stopped. Its like a sickness that they can't get rid of …. and then they play the victim no matter what they do. But it's getting harder & harder to hide their viciousness. They'll get undone by their own sickness!
Don’t forget the government of the USA is as guilty as is the Zionist Israelite , the greed of our government to please Israel so they can make money on the blood of Palestine , is a war crime and the world needs to confront the government of America and sanction should be used otherwise the world is not safe from war crimes committed by them
Israel's insanity is at least a useful pointer to how sick our governments are, and how even allies that clearly don't do morality and humanity come before the majority of citizens, actually subjects, here in the UK, Australia, Germany and the rest of the "west". We've learned a hell of a lot over the last few years, which has been tough, but we have learned.
Commonsense, reason and logic cannot be found just chaos, death & destruction. Desperation and fear bring about reprisals. Man someone, something’s gotta give.
The United States underwriting Israel's wanton destruction and genocide is really disgraceful, but the propaganda's too thick for most Americans to see through smoke. Independent media is the best way to go, even though some outlets are just shills for the Establishment. Also worth mentioning in this context is that Censorship of contrarian voices has really increased over here, especially on YouTube; criticize Ukraine or Israel your risks being struck for "hate speech," or something else equally ridiculous.
They are trying unsuccessfully in the face of a decentralized resistance at all levels, to crush the human spirit, under the guise of their mythology that first Palestinians and second Arabs aren’t humans and therefore born to be massacred.

well said Roger.

Agree wholeheartedly with all you write - but now with US special ops in Israel I fear Israel cannot and will not be stopped. WW3?
Yes, Judy, it certainly would come as no surprise to me or, I suspect, many many others.

Take care. Stay safe. ☮️

You mean Zionism buddy.

Of course Israel is the aggressor, just now it had stopped even trying to pretend otherwise.
What does anyone propose to do about it?
Liquidate Washington DC with all members present?

Yeh black is white and up is down
I sure hope Israel is stopped, George. Thanks for posting.

One can only try to understand a state that basically pisses on all of its neighbors.
And then gone begging for help.
But we have Zelensky doing the same thing
What do they have in common?
Judaism.
Judaism isn't the problem.
