Horrific genocide in broad daylight funded by Congress & justified by corp presstitutes.

Big time thanks Aaron for the honest reporting and hat tip to your dad for his moving speech about Zionism & history of massacres of Palestinians.

In America war criminals walk the streets and sleep in silk sheets . It was US Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson who in his opening remarks at Nuremberg stated that all must be equal before the law. There were 22 top Nazis in the prisoner docket and most were hung or received long jail sentences. Any Nazis "useful" to the US were given work visas. Many went to work for NATO. Thousands more just disappeared.

Had Roosevelt not died prematurely the infamous Allen Dulles might have been tried for treason. The Dulles brothers, as corporate lawyers were instrumental in financing Hitler's military.

WW ll was the first corporate war and every war since then has been corporate.

Nothing to say about what is going on in Israel, and the carnage they are now implementing? From their inception they have tried to rid themselves of the indigenous neighbors whose land was stolen. The Palestinians resided in that country for many hundreds of years, but whose land, whose country was given over by a bunch of white guys residing in the US and England.

I doubt it was hundreds, more like millenia, since all the Jews vamoosed. Little did they know that the landlords would return in the far distant future to put down a "sold" sign on their dirt with the force of the "UN" at their back.

Well, there was that little party called the Nazis to get rid of, but actually the Soviet Union did that, and you can hardly call the USSR corporate. By the way, men are hanged, not hung (unless they also have large penises). Have a nice day.

“died prematurely”

I'm sure neocons, Blinken and Nuland, in Biden's administration, and the rest of the neocons who embraced him during the Trump years are also calling the shots. I have always disliked Biden and all through our Middle Eastern wars he not only supported them, but encouraged his fellow democrats to do likewise. I think the US and Israel are both morally bankrupt. It is beyond ironic that a people who obtained the land of Israel due to prejudice then experienced a holocaust, then turn around and do likewise, that is, create a holocaust of their own. Gallant expressed just how Israel feels and thinks about Palestinians, animals all, not deserving of food, water, fuel. Sick bastard.

Yes they are anti-Russia, but Victoria Nuland, and Blinken are neocons, and are definitely not anti-Israel.

No I don't agree to disagree because your statement is false. It is well known that both Blinken and Nuland are necons. We can't agree to disagree there is no moon, since the moon is a reality

This is so horrible! “When it comes to Palestinians, the White House has made clear that it is only comfortable abetting their mass murder from afar.”

I agree, but due add on all our Middle Eastern wars which must have also slaughtered many children, not that adults don't count. Americans by and large kept quite through our years of carnage and continue to so. I am in no way being an apologist for Israel. Since their inception they have wanted to rid themselves of their neighbors whose land should never have been given to them in the first place.

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

I know, and I've seen the clip a number of times. Sick! She was the one that pushed for a Hilary win in 2016 and said if a woman didn't vote for her there would be a special place in hell for them. Well, I guess we know where she is now.

Hillary, the woman who turned Libya into a place where there are open slave markets

Expand full comment

That's her. I saw an interchange between Assange and a well know journalist whose names evades me in this moment, and Assange claimed she was a very sick woman in her need for power and her willingness to do anything to obtain it. He felt sorry for her, but I never did. To me she is a psychopath and can spew lies and dissent and it doesn't bother her at all.

Think of years of Russia collusion hoaxes, useless impeachments, a lying FBI in her service, accusations of Russian spying on anyone not neocon gung ho, etc etc

Perhaps, but the issue now is how to deal with what is already the case. And it is much harder. There is no way to rewrite history, sadly!

Lubia, I have no doubt if our present wars and conflicts and what is going on in Gaza is resolved, there will not be other wars, other conflicts, since the same mindset prevails, and that is what needs to change.

We can only hope! Thank you for your reply.

I hope you hope prevails.

It has never been so utterly blatant what a bunch of war-mongers the Democrats have become. Children should never be considered “collateral damage”. This stance will cost Biden re-election, even if his platform of “I’m not Trump” is enough to scare Americans who don’t want either of them. The world has become a clash of a handful of men, not the citizens in any country.

I will vote again for the Socialist Party.

CONTEMPTIBLE, MURDEROUS

Biden said: “I told him if the United States experienced what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive and overwhelming.” Could somebody please ask Biden how the US would respond if they were experiencing what Palestine is experiencing?

The inhumanity of not trying to broker peace is what will go down in history as Biden's claim to fame. Russia and Ukraine, and now this.

That piece of shit already had much blood on his hands. I couldn't despise that crooked hack more. Anyone thinking Biden's doing a good job is either another Democratic party hack, the MSM or needs their head examine urgently.

Genocide Joe! I'm researching how many Benjamins he got from AIPAC.

This is the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising, during which Jews were gassed in the sewers. Only in Israel, where antisemitism is made fresh, daily. Macabre and monstrous. like their German-made submarines. WW3 courtesy of the Neocons.

The Foer quote is telling. The Netanyahu government obviously has no plan this go-round either. The two floated: 1) relocate Palestinians to the Sinai, or 2) parachute the Palestinian Authority post-genocide into Gaza to administer the ruins are both clearly delusion.

Let's see what Nasrallah has to say tomorrow. He convinced me, in another speech ten years ago, that ISIS would be defeated. He said that if Syria fell there would be no safety for anyone in the region; hence, he committed Hezbollah to the fight.

What I don’t understand is what hold Israel holds over all of the US government, left and right. When even Sanders is afraid to say or do the right thing, I find myself absolutely bewildered. And unlike the Ukraine debacle, the US didn’t bother to manufacture consent; even the reliably pro-Biden liberals who read and comment on the pages of the NYTs are opposed to this shit show.

I think Middle East Eye has a report on the Arab Americans invited to the private chit chat with Genocide Joe, and they weren't exactly people who would press him hard to call a cease-fire.

Not on substance, but the very mention of Kirby's name is an insult to my ears. This man is lower than a snake's belly as he slithers up the ladder of success, and we know the end stop: propaganda-talking head on some third-rate media outlet like CNN or NBC. He is a man without a conscience, he lies for money.

I agree, Lubica. You took the words right out of my mouth. The bombing is catastrophic, and I wish it would stop!
