As if Netanyahu EVER plans on stopping! Hello— they’re even killing the Christians there. Can we stop pretending this is about anything other than taking that land?

But Hamas will never let it go. Trump's idea of building resorts in Gaza will never fly since Hamas will continue terrorist attacks. Who would want to visit a place where they could be killed by Hamas. Sweet dreams, Donny.

They're not terrorist attacks. They're protecting their own land. If someone trued to steal your land, home and possessions and then went on to slowly starve you and your children would you just meekly let them? Geesh.

I’ve been saying in all posts that I give Netanyahu a month before it all begins again. He’s more scared of going to jail at the end of his government so will continue. He’s a despicable person who’s worked with another despicable person to just get hails to his ego.

Hasn't Hamas has violated the agreement by not handing over the bodies of the hostages? Why are you and the others only focused on Israel. Hamas's actions are also despicable.

Everyone knew that would be complicated. The Red Cross understands why that can't happen immediately. There are bodies, Israeli and Palestinian buried under the tons of rubbish Israel created and Israel is not allowing heavy equipment in to clear the rubble. You believe Hamas took care of those bodies?

We focus on Israel because we know Netanyahu has no intention allowing this deal to go to completion. Israel has already broken the ceasefire.

Netanyahu belongs in prison for the rest of his miserable life. You’ll never guess who’s on his defense team at the ICC. Cuomo who’s running for New York Mayor. Defending a war criminal like Netanyahu tells me he’s a traitor.

Why are you making this one-sided? I’m not ‘old,’ but I’m also not a youngster who has jumped on board this current horrific crisis. For my entire life Israel has fired bullets after Palestinian children have thrown rocks. Wahoo (I won’t use his real name), is an Israeli domestic terrorist, and HE has created so many of the problems that exist in that region.

Hamas are horrific, but your wording makes it seem like this is a one-sided issue that falls on Hamas to be blamed-which is wholly unfair. There is A LOT of Israeli exceptionalism in Israel, and the weird support of that from Americans on the other side of the world.

Ask yourself why Israel was/is willing to let children die due to actions those children have no control over. Ask why the US and other countries continue to give money to Israel so they can continue to harm not only Palestinians, but also Israelis.

Not making this one-sided. Simply replying to a comment.

JDES's avatar

But you did. You used the tired ‘whataboutism’ trope by bringing Hamas in a response to a statement about Israel and their destruction of Palestine. At the end of the day, to use the excuse that Hamas is hiding/living in those areas that have been leveled by Israel, is just that, an excuse. Any normal, rational person would put blame literally on both sides, and not excuse the inhumanity of one because of the inhumanity of the other.

No Hamas love here. They are terrorists but they hold a certain amount of power. I don't approve of becoming worse terrorists to defeat them. trump is a bully and terrorists but holds more power than anyone else in the world and I don't approve of him either. You have to deal with reality.

Former President Teddy Roosevelt had some choice words for those who think a president shouldn’t be criticized. He said, “To announce there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than anyone else.” I have read a few things about Teddy Roosevelt. I believe if he were alive today, he would be leading the protests against t/rump. Teddy Roosevelt has qualities that t/rump has never possessed. Teddy R. Had integrity, honesty snd honor. t/rump not only lacks those qualities, he can’t even spell the words integrity, honesty or honor.

Cheeto and Antifa

There is a Nazi rolling propaganda campaign amongst Cheeto and the Nazi allies in the WH to label any political or legal opposition as antifa

So we should be very clear about this term that the current Nazi propaganda machine is rolling out Timothy Snyder in his informative Substack channel has a provocative short video(https://bit.ly/3VZGp5D) that outlines the historical underpinning of the term antifa In short in Weimar Germany between 1918 and 1933 when Hitler came into power there existed a group of Germans who were against Hitler rising to power and they were labeled anti-fascists

History doesn’t repeat but it certainly rhymes and we can learn from Weimar Germany’s experience as Snyder points out We are in the midst of a Hitlerian fascist takeover and those who participate in protests are all members of antifa So we should all celebrate being part of the movement to overthrow Cheeto’s takeover of the country and turn it into a fascist totalitarian regime

Again with the Nobel Prize. He doesn't deserve any prize except jail. They claim a ceasefire with Israel and Hamas, who never signed the agreement and people are still dying over there and not all the deceased hostages were sent back to Israel. Trump can pat himself on the back as much as he wants but the majority of Americans know he is a liar and hasn't stopped shit.

Thank you for the continuous timely comprehensive updates on all fronts, Ben! Though I'm on a fixed retirement income, I did last week give a Meidas gift subscription to a friend I've made at our regular downtown protest rallies in the past months. She'd expressed how much she follows you, Ben, Brett, Jordy, and Ron for free but unable to participate in joining the MTN comments community, so I told her I'd fix that for her as she and her husband are struggling with his health issues even as his VA benefits are being seriously minimized. Thanks to MTN and all your team for the dedicated vital service you provide day after day in the midst of chaos.
