Why not jail those supporting genocide instead of those protesting against it? Sick beyond belief!

Ran away to India when I was young for the same reasons. Came back and realized I had to fight to make this place better, not run away. There is hope but we have to buckle down for that worthwhile battle. It chose us, not we, it. Hang in there, my friend. People like you will make a difference.

I learned from Mark Twain that patriotism means supporting your country all the time, but its government only when it deserves it. That is, I always distinguish between country and government. Yes the US and Israeli governments are criminal and terrorist organizations. Nothing shows it better than this Khalil case.

And while the gullible will push this as evidence of an Islamic threat, because he is a Muslim, the reality is that the threat is not Islamic and it exists for every one of us because the US drives Western systems.

Giant worldwide petition called for. Of course what they call antisemitism is in fact anti-Zionism - very different - as if they didn't know it, unless they're especially stupid.

They are 'stupid', in the sense of being uninformed, irrational, selfish and apparently believing that they are untouchable, i.e. unaccountable and beyond the law or morality.

Trump, in fact, is mounting a campaign against anti-Zionism, because he, as do so many, confuses it with antisemitism. It is not. To oppose brutality, rape, killing of innocents in their thousands, 70% of them innocent women and children, to refuse to allow humanitarian aid, to cut off water and electricity, to bomb hospitals and schools and homes and etc. and to commit genocide - that is all down to Zionists who have ruled Israel since it was created on stolen Palestinian land. It is not about those of Jewish faith who simply want to live peacefully and without fear.

Thanks, GH: This goes directly to the concerns I am currently having with GoFundMe which I feel is also under Zionist control. I will post this article on to my contact in Rafah!

Trump is a convicted felon. His notions of right or wrong bear no sound relationship with common norms as to what is considered to be affirmatively moral. His lackeys, appointees and supporters are equally immoral or else too intellectually stulted or negatively indoctrinated to know any better.

Mahmoud Khalil, is a victim of Trump and his morally bankrupt allies and servile sycophants. He is almost certainly the first of many who will suffer a similar fate.

Ironically, Trump's dictatorial, punitive, self-aggrandising, sadistic and cruel decisions are what will ultimately bring him down. Mahmoud Khalil will be a martyr for his unjust suffering, in the eyes of not just his family but hundreds of thousands or even millions of right-minded, just and rational US citizens and others around the World.

This atrocious regime ought not to be allowed to remain in office, even if it takes a revolution to overthrow it.

If action isn't taken, then things having already gone from bad to despicable, will go from despicable to criminally insane. Not only that but with every such immoral, indecent and aggressively harmful decision and/or action taken by Trump and his administration or its servants, such behaviour will become increasingly entrenched across society and thus accepted by those who aren't directly affected. This is the way of all dictatorships and authoritarian societies of any colour.

Trump needs to be stopped, along with all his acolytes. It needs to happen speedily and may need what otherwise would have been considered unthinkable action in any 'free' nation. It will be so because Trump's belief that he has godlike powers and the right to dictate whatever he wants and to ignore or to subborn the courts and others to do his bidding, is also what would have been unthinkable of any other President.

In spite of Trump's appointments and dismissals and alliances with billionaires whose riches have led them to exaggerated belief in their own level of intellect or even human worth, there must be military commanders, billionaires and other influential power brokers who despise the damage Trump has already done, let alone what his continuing presidency will continue to do.

It would not surprise any rational observer who is aware of Trump's history as well as his most recent activities, if he turns out to have been a Russian mole all along or at least someone who has decided it is in his own 'imperial' interests to ally himself with Russia and Putin. Neither would it surprise many to discover that USA secrets have already been passed to Russia and USA defence strategies already compromised and sabotaged.

Trump should be removed NOW.

A system is rotten to the core when: people defend genocide, people defend the forced expulsion of a peoples, people erase history, people accuse others of crimes they themselves are carrying out. This support of a genocide is in academic institutions, in government, in organisations, in peoples minds. Israel has found a way of dominating political spheres, peoples brains etc , are we in 2025 or back to 1939?

if you wanted evidence of the extent to which the US Administration is a puppet of Israel you need look no further than this. Alas, it is just the same in most of Europe.

Jewish fascism now rules, ok.

I agree that we shouldn’t conflate Judaism with Zionism as Judaism includes many compassionate souls who are as distressed by what is happening In Palestine as we are while Zionism, like Nazism, is all bad.

But neither should we ignore the ‘bad’ side of Judaism (all religions have/have had their ‘extremists’) which, in Jewish fascism (along with Christian fascism) seeks to morally support and justify the actions of the Zionists whether in Israel or in the West. Here, they blend in with the local population but through stealth and their discrete networks work towards positions of power and influence so as to neutralise opposition to Israel’s oppressive and brutal activities in Palestine whilst undermining our openness and democracy over here. They are as much a threat to our future in the West as the Jewish fascists in Israel are to the Palestinians; they just haven’t progressed as far along the path of domination. Yet.

No, Zionist fascism now rules and has since it lobbied the British to partition Palestine so as to create Israel. Please, let us not conflate Jews and Zionists. I have no religion because I consider it one of the major causes of division, persecution, war and such in our world. However, Zionism has no faith and most, if not all Zionists have no religion, unless self-interest and desire for power, regardless of who it harms it is to be regarded as a religion.

Israel was never and is not now a 'Jewish' state. It is and always has been a Zionist one.

magnificent, eloquent exegesis, george, and an insuperable exposure of how subreptitiously anti-semitism has been hijacked to promote a fraudulent political agenda in order to protect zionist europeans, israelis and americans from censure due to their outré war crimes.

“American” has never respected treaties, human rights or anything that protects the rights of minorities. The “American values” that everyone talks about never existed, it’s a facade. The US is a fake, corrupt, mafia style country that has supported, supports, and will support the same corrupt, perverse “ leaders” around the globe. It doesn’t advocate peace, it advocate wars because that’s how this sick country survives, selling weapons and killing humans and all living things.🤮🤮🤮it’s sickening.

Thank you for this,George. Mahmoud’s plight is just further evidence of the US administration’s attitude towards the first amendment. Freedom of speech only applies to speech that is approved of. This pattern of behaviour is being used across the entire western world and is increasingly not restricted to opinions regarding the ongoing situation in the Middle East. The characterisation of dissent as domestic terrorism is becoming more and more prevalent and the use of anti terrorism legislation in response is reprehensible.

It’s disturbing to hear from Grayzone that Mahmoud Khalil is in actuality a “British soft asset”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlR-JBNpg-s

He went to Columbia School of International policy affair, where Hilary Clinton and Victoria Nuland were instructors; Mahmoud Khalil is more complex character than we actually lead to know. Seems the British is “throwing him under the bus” - Grayzone.
