  1. Henry Kissinger — 'It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.'

  2. The richest country in the world has endless money for wars but can't afford to provide affordable healthcare/childcare/eldercare/housing/education & a meaningful retirement for the American people. Shame

  4. Kirby is a sick warmonger, a war criminal, and he has no creditability.

  5. My beautiful State of California looks like Gaza! My fellow Californians are experiencing what Palestinians have been experiencing. The common denominator is the failed US system.

  6. Gun control laws to protect Trump but not children at school. Have I got this right?
    49
  7. 2 things have happened in Gaza in the past 48 hours : 1) Israel killed 67 Palestinians 2) 6 Israeli hostages were found dead As you reflect on why only one of these stories is dominating the headlines

  8. “There is today in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967 a deeply discriminatory dual legal/political system that privileges 700000 Israeli Jewish settlers living in 300 illegal Israeli settlements in E. Jerusalem/the West Bank,” said M. Lynk, the UN Rapporteur for the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories

  9. Wish the same amount of coverage was provided to display the pain and suffering of the people of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Palestine! the pain and suffering created by endless wars and regime change policies of US/Europe! Western colonial genocide! The double standard/hypocrisy is shameful!

  10. Palestinians learned that no matter how well they behave, no matter how “good” they are as victims, they are abandoned to the savagery of enemy invader. So they decided it doesn’t matter what the world says, what matters is what the Palestinian people and their resistance do.

  11. We keep being told Israel doesn’t want a regional war and that Israel wants a ceasefire, while Israel does everything it can to escalate into a regional war and sabotage a ceasefire in Gaza.

  12. J.D. Vance should register as a foreign agent. He received $ from AIPAC.
    37
  13. For clarity: 1) Lebanese homes & shops are not a combat zone; they are a civilian setting w/children & bystanders (who have been killed & injured here). 2) Not everyone affiliated w/Hezbollah is a combatant. Extrajudicial killing of non-combatants is a war crime.

  14. Zionism is not Judaism just like ISIS is not Islam. Criticizing the apartheid regime of Israel is not antisemitic just like criticizing the barbaric regime of Saudi Arabia is not Islamophobia.

  15.  @colinfullford8630  And where was your voice in 1948?
    33
  16. US Dept. of Justice is charging Hamas members for kidnapping of Americans/IDF in Gaza but Netanyahu—who is accused of war crimes and genocide by international courts—receive applause from Congress! There is something wrong with America. Malcolm X: “I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against."
    32
  17. Correction, 1948 was a bad idea.
    31
  18. What kind of society do we live in if standing against the mass slaughter of children and the forced displacement of millions of people is considered a “censured” stance?
    28
  19. It didn't start on Oct 7th. It started in 1948. Oct 7th was a reaction to years of apartheid, brutality, and savagery. "We hate and oppress you, but you should not hate us for it"-Malcolm X. It applies to the Palestinians and apartheid Israel.
    27
  20. In light of Israel’s indiscriminate terrorist attacks on Lebanon, it’s important to remember that its military headquarters is in the middle of Tel Aviv. Israel intentionally risks its own civilians, using them as human shields, as Israeli media has acknowledged.
    24
  21. "Some ppl think everything started on Oct. 7th, this all began with the occupation of Palestine & the establishment of an apartheid state."

  23. Zionism is not Judaism just like ISIS is not Islam. Criticizing the apartheid and genocidal regime of Israel is not antisemitic just like criticizing the barbaric and terrorist regime of Saudi Arabia is not Islamophobia.
    21
  24. "The majority of the people in the last crisis were economic refugees" WTF?! Refugee situation created in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan are the result of US/Europe's endless wars and regime changes policies! Wake up. Your white perspective is disgraceful!
    20
  25. Attacking an open-air prison with air & ground forces is not a “conflict.” When one side does not have an army, navy or air-force, it’s not a “war.” The word you’re looking for is massacre

  28. Congress claims that the First Amendment is sacred, and that it protects our freedom of speech…… unless you criticize Israel.

  29. White evangelicals… say they believe in obeying the Bible, yet ignore where it instructs them to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly”

  30. “The American people” want to have their basic needs met, not the most lethal fighting force in the world.

  32. Some days it's hard to say which is more horrific: the Gaza genocide itself, or the moral decay throughout our society which makes it possible.

  33. Pomepo=an arrogant clown— masquerading as a diplomat

  34. For many commentators Syria is a quagmire of competing political agendas, for Syrians it is their homeland. We don’t know how things will play out, history has taught us that much, but we can hope for the best because Syrians—like everyone—deserve a life of freedom and dignity.

  36. The raison d’etre of the UN is 2 avoid war. Yet,after 349 days of genocide, turning civilian electronics into bombs, assassinations in sovereign territories, the UN hasn't overcome US intransigence. Arab, Iranian restraint is preventing large scale war but responsibility is global.
    15
  37. Iran has the right to defend itself

  38. When the US is finished with a servant, it throws him in the trash. Client regimes should beware.

  39. What are Americans doing in an airbase in Iraq? Bring them home...

  40. Never forget: Mike Pompeo admitted in 2019, "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like, we had entire training courses". Pompeo then became secretary of state - head of the US State Department. This should be the official slogan of the US government.

  43. No war for the apartheid and genocidal regime of Israel

  45. The point of “laws of war” is to protect all civilians. That Israel has completely destroyed that idea—and the US continues to support it—doesn’t just put people in the region at risk, it endangers everyone. Killing children and other civilians isn’t self defense, it’s criminal.

  46. “Trump’s like a predatory animal in a literal sense. Since he has no conscience, he’s all instinct, and his instinct is to find his prey’s weakness and go after it over and over.” Donald Trump Has No Idea What Has Hit Him, and It’s a Joy to Watch

  47. Since 1948 apartheid Israel has slaughtered, brutalized, dehumanized, oppressed, and mass incarcerated Palestinians. Hamas was created in the late 1990s
    12
  48. Dear Hypocrites, Condemning Israel's apartheid system and the oppression, murder, brutalization, and dehumanization of Palestinians is not an expression of support for the atrocities of Hamas. You who condemn Hamas but refuse to acknowledge the barbarity of Israel are the problem.

  49. “The American people” want to have their basic needs met, not the most lethal fighting force in the world.
