Aaron, you are a hero in the eyes of people of conscience and intelligence everywhere for your uncompromising fealty to the truth about Nazi Israel.

Piers Morgan stacked the deck against Mate, although I didn't hear the other man's position. I'm glad Mate stood his ground. I don't understand why Israeli's back this genocide or try to justify it and they are so stupid and don't even see their complicity in helping to destroy the country they supposedly care so much about.

Fealty- that's a word you don't hear every day!

The smug demeanor of this "Fleur Hassan" is troublesome. She flaunts an air of confidence supported by billions of dollars of propaganda as an envoy of the American/Israeli arms dealers. You're doing good work to stand your ground and cite the facts against the soulless savages like her of the extremely privileged western world, who do the bidding of the most barbaric class of society: weapons manufacturers.

Aaron, please let followers know as soon as approximate launch date of your Ukraine book is known so people can recommend it to librarians and bookstores, among others. I have several times this year pre-paid Amazon for books months before they were available. (In one case, Amazon refunded a few $$ because the price at distribution time was less than originally charged.) I hope your book too will be marketed online in advance of completion. Is a book tour contemplated?

I always thought this would be the end game after all our Middle Eastern Wars, and I believe this was long planned. Biden was in from the beginning, and why he finds it so easy to abet this genocide. Our 2014 complicity in implementing a coup in Ukraine was to ultimately take us to where we are now in regard to Russia, and I don't think anyone should give Obama a pass. You have a bunch of neocon crazies in the Biden administration, like Blinken, who totally backs what is going on in Israel, all their bullshit to the contrary. I don't think we should see this as separate and apart from all our Middle Eastern wars in this 21st century, but a continuation of that agenda.

That's a pretty stupid question, but if she's asking where are the Palestinian Mandelas she's admitting Israel is an apartheid state. There's no need to ask where the Israeli statesmen and women are as Israel only deals in war and terror.

I can't bear to watch Piers Moron, but kudos to you Aaron.

Did you ask Morgan how he distinguishes Israel-Gaza from Russian Federation-Ukraine? That would likely have been quite entertaining.

I sure as hell would not want to be a Jew. The Muslim world wants you dead and the erstwhile Christian world is set to abandon Zionism. It’s an existential battle, I say, act accordingly.

I don't know why. A lot of the best advocate for Palestinian rights are Jewish: Aaron Mate, Katie Halper, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Alexander Cockburn, on a short list which is still lacking even ultra-orthodox Jews.

You can't judge a book by its cover, but in Piers Morgan's case, even the cover is missing. He blatantly supports the powerful as he perceives it, and tries to make it look like a moral choice.

Mr Mate, please publish your concise chronology listing the key events affecting the Ukraine, beginning with Bush 41 and Sec Baker's promise not to extend NATO to the east, to the present. Links to documents should be included. ............the public has a short attention span and badly needs this before voting !
