Thank you for highlighting the genocide happening before our eyes.

It's incredible to me that Israel doesn't seem to think we have eyes and ears and memory...

I remember a time when people of the Christian faith thought of the region as "the Holy Land." After reading about what the people (on both "sides") who are living in that land are doing to each other we/they may need to rethink that...

Right on as usual.

Q: did Israel ever think about the long-term consequences of their war, in terms of "will this really eliminate Hamas?" If I were a Palestinian and watched what they did to my country, friends and relatives, I wouldn't say "Gosh, I guess i just learned my lesson". What I'd think is that I'm going to want payback on Israel. There's got to be many thousands of Gazans who are very willing to take it back on Israel - worse than Hamas did. Long term poor choosing.

To my stunned surprise, even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Israel out, and it seems sincere.

Perfect illustration, MdA. Bibi's been selling his bulls**t as strawberries for too long. His claims have been proven wrong, and he ignores photographic evidence of the obvious! Yesterday's US Green Beret's interview of on-the-ground observations only catalyzed the truth. Starvation & the IDF opening fire on unarmed Palestinians. Smoke & mirrors is exactly what it's been.

Netanyahu has an overdue appointment with The Hague courts for crimes against humanity. It can't happen too soon! ⚖️💔

does anyone ever ask what Hamas is doing about this? My understanding is that they are fine and are enjoying the scene and waiting for the rest of the world to destroy Israel. I am disgusted with Bibi - he has no endgame and is totally cruel, but there is another player here and no one is talking about it!

I'm disgusted by Netayahu and Hamas. Hamas are monsters. But I do support the people of Israel and the Palestinians. But they both need new leadership.

Hamas is not doing this. Israel is. And has been for decades.

I dont dispute that Israel is and has been awful to Palestinians, but if terrorists were blowing up buses, planes and buildings, I'd be a bit controlling too. At the real beginning, even before Arafat, no Arab country could take them in without being attacked from within. I hate what Israel is doing (!!), but in my mind, this Hamas gang can't be a partner to peace - they don't want peace, they want domination. As a human being, I don't know how to feel/think about it, so I am glad to respond to your comment. How do you know that Hamas is 'not doing this'? is Qatar also at fault and harbouring them? Iran? It's not just Israel...

We should feed the people and worry about all of this later. I agree, it's a complex situation with no leader leading in the right direction.

So sad but true. Israel has gone way too far. Even MTG is calling it genocide. And when you lose her you know it’s bad.

Well done, Michael. I am delighted to see that you have finally weighed in with a strong indictment of the ongoing genocide which our cowardly political leaders refuse to name. I have to say that I've been disappointed in recent months that you have not been as forceful as you usually are on controversial subjects. And, believe me, I know from personal experience that they can be job killers but enough is enough!

"finally weighed in" "you have not been as forceful"

umm, huh? He has. Lots of powerfully provocative cartoons on the genocide can be found on his timeline on a regular basis...

Excellent Michael! Netanyahu is a megalomaniac whose only reason for the endless bombing, cornering the helpless Palestinian women and children into smaller and smaller spaces, and finally shooting the starving as they fight for the last scraps, is to prolong his power in an effort to avoid arrest, trial, and imprisonment. He is utterly despicable and even the Israeli people are finally turning on him.
