Thanks Aaron as always.

I have had enough and I don't know what more we can do as people living on this earth to stop this genocidal behaviour.

I am afraid that I am thinking in terms of wiping Israel off the map! This is not my nature but there is only so much one can take.

These Zionists and Biden should be incarcerated in a dungeon for 40yrs with little to no food just like the Palestinian prisoners are.

Members of the Biden administration should be charged with 18 U.S. Code § 1091, the law that brought the genocide convention into US law. Put this statute in their faces, up front and center at every protest at every meeting, press conference, briefing, and trips home and abroad.

They may feel they are immune now, but let's get them considering what is possible when they leave office, given they have set the precedent of charging former presidents. Here's the best news of all, "an offense under this section, an indictment may be found, or information instituted, at any time without limitation."They should have visions of prison all the days of their lives.

The propagandists in the Mainstream Media need to be charged as well.

Let us find the way!

The Failed State department and Meritless Blinken haven’t had any credibility after WMD Iraq.

Blinken is some where between pure stupidity and pure evil. Every time he opens his mouth its another lie told.

It's the hand-wringing that does it for me, knowing Blinken is a neocon who will stop at nothing, no matter the destruction and killing of innocents, in order to "spread democracy", or indeed to protect Israel. Plus the guitar-playing of course, when he's not dining with his good friends in a Nazi eaterie.

I don’t want to hear one other fucking thing about Oct 7

Oh, the White House is being pretty damned clear all right. We're herding cattle into the slaughterhouse. But I've been wondering, one day, won't there be corpses, forensic evidence, lying about under rubble or dumped into mass graves? The German Nazis had a disposal challenge, and I would think the Israeli Nazis face the same challenge. How will it be managed? They haven't started building ovens, have they?

Biden will never be forgiven for the October 10th meeting where he met with Netanyahu and gave his blessing for the genocide. He is the one person who could have stopped it and didn't have the balls or the presence of mind to do it. He is a perfectly ridiculous figure.

Easily the worst POTUS in my lifetime, and I'm no fan of Trump. They're both cheapncrooks, but the MSM keeps quiet about Biden.

There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.

Israel has made it clear they will not be stopped in their goal of ethnic cleansing and taking the land. No court, no student demonstration, no outrage has any effect. The only thing that will draw this to a close are sanctions where it can no longer function and no country comes to its aid. As long as they can bomb, they will bomb. This could take a while, especially if the US continues to support them as it apparently will.

I read about a month ago it had imported 6k Indians for labor since Palestinians are gone and young people are in the IDF. I can’t imagine they speak Hebrew or the Israelis speak Hindi. This is a sign of desperation to keep functioning on a day to day level and may, in the long run, be their demise and lead to a willingness to call for a ceasefire and make peace. Let’s pray that happens and the killing stops.

"when Blinken’s boss, Biden, did talk about a “red line” in March, he was simply lying " I do think it's possible that GJ, simply forgot his instructions when he said that. I doubt he meant it, but probably thought his audience wanted to hear it.

Perhaps it’s time that American citizens approach the ICC to change their own government with Genocide since there is definitive proof that Biden is falsifying his actions in Israel to the American people and that government personnel are actively aiding and abetting this Genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

I echo the sentiments of those who have said they have had enough of these horrendous bombings and mass death. The problem is when you have a unipolar world in which the hegemon feels emboldened to eschew any constraints on its behavior and constantly changes the rules to support its actions, hence the continual crossing of "red lines". Impunity, the insecurity of other nations, and endless war is the result.

Death is categorized as ‘major’ or ‘minor’ ,depravity is in free-fall.

IF you believe that Hamas hides behind ordinary people then you have been listening to propaganda.

I hope AAron answers this.

Secondly. Do some research and find out how Hamas came to be?

Yes. All ordinary little children are born into a life that may condition and pummel them into Israeli soldiers or Hamas fighters. There but for the grace of God go I, as they say.

The labels we give people such as evil IDF or evil terrorists or evil Blinken makes it easier for us to understand aka judge and punish. However, even the good guys like Aaron and Lowkey are the same little children but under different circumstances and life experiences.

We need to regard the problems facing Israeli children as well as Hamas children as well as Washington children growing up in this world as the same problem- our problem.

It was Israel who were not content with the UN's exceedingly generous plan in 1948 and began the ethnic cleansing. Israeli kids can't help being born, but they aren't born under the heel of occupation like many generations of Palestinians by now.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are sincerely unaware of the realities in Gaza. Managed by UN troops? I don't think the UN wants to be a further party to the Israeli occupation by actually doing any aspect of the dirty work. That's a non-starter for the majority of the world's nations.

Plus, I can't see how you could 'filter' the population, without allowing them out of Gaza, to trap Hamas inside. The Israelis would never let that happen. Otherwise, the logistic problems are overwhelming, because that would seem to mean sending in the IDF to do that 'checking." They'd never be able to get in without suffering huge casualties.
