This event was simply fantastic. During the Q and A Gabor exchanged with someone who felt guilty as a survivor of the Gaza holocaust. His answer brought tears to my eyes. As a Quebec intellectual and academic, please note that I am on the same page. Solidairement, Michel

I watched this on Chris Hedges’ substack two nights ago and was very moved by the depth of their empathy for the Palestinians and knowledge of the history of the region. It’s hard to understand how it got to this point and why the Israelis themselves can’t and won’t see the horror of their crimes. All the goodwill and high opinion so many people had for them is gone. What they see in its place is cruelty, arrogance and a sense of entitlement that knows no restraint.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you Aaron - It's wonderful to see this important presentation on your site as well as Chris's - I hope many more people watch it. Framing Palestine as the moral issue of our time is critical, true and so necessary. Thank you for your part and I was especially touched by you and your Dad being on stage together, and Chris talking about the deep positive imprint from his own father when it came to a decision of the greatest moral importance in his own life: "I am my father's son." Exploring those roots, personally and collectively, of morality and empathy are what the whole world is being urgently called to do - and act upon! - in relation to the vastly unspeakable atrocities accelerating against the men, women and children of Gaza/Palestine.

Much gratitude to each of you!

Aaron,

As a trauma survivor, you and your dad holding space for one another's humanity in the face of (as yet) untold depths of suffering somehow calls us to hold space for all suffering in the midst of it. The needful present focus is Palestenian Liberation, but the path calls us to liberation for all.

Thank you, Aaron, Gabor, and Chris. That was essential to hear. Humanity has her work cut out for her and she always will.

Gratitude to all contributors!

Palestine may be simply what we perceive as the result of discardment of divinity due to our culture of bondage; as the hammer of wickedness gracefully illuminates pride as irrational talent for magnificious praisal to hammer off wickedness: nebulosum tropaeum anthropi ; deceitful human virtue or vice of philanthropy – the circus of recursion; the hegemon had merit the world that was; Palestine shall be the first not to be discarded and attain. Evolution is all existence and ourselves will decide the coming, as evolution ever stems from cooperation, that is, either species discardment by internal strife or species towardness from divine fullfillment.

Continuous abortion for profit disrespects the divine plan.
