I hope one day these genocide-deniers are met with a similar response to what Holocaust deniers receive. I find it ridiculous that some people still put the fear of Trump ahead of the fear and loathing of what the criminal "Biden administration" has done to the world over the last four years. Good for them, I suppose, if they can ignore the knife-edge we have been taken to and rant about Trump's picks. If the "Democrats" weren't neocons and gave a damn about improving people's lives, and hadn't cheated Sanders of course, they likely would have won in 2016.

I stay busy ranting about all of it—to misquote DT, “there are horrible people on both sides.” I do think there’s a lot to worry about regarding Trump’s picks, but one of the reasons I was compelled to make this post is my fear that people have so much to worry about in the domestic front that they may turn their attention away from Palestine.

Thank you so much for your comment and support. All I can do from here is report on the reporting—but still I hope it matters. I have strong personal convictions about this, but I also know how hard it is, and will continue to be, for people who have felt a connection with Israel to accept this— not just to see it privately, but to begin speaking out about it, knowing the potential costs in a society that expects silence. I don’t take that lightly.

of course. And then they issue their usual statement about how the Idf dors everything in its power to avoid civilian deaths. It’s Orwellian.

I know.. I posted a story from Nyt on the horrific conditions in Gazan hospitals. It was future of Jewish newsletter. I said something like: Try and justify this. And their only response was that it was all lies.. the tragedy continues…

Yep. That’s the routine. We have to ignore it and keep pressing the truth. Of course Israel immediately denied the evidence in the huge amnesty int’l report.
