Fatima, we came here to live by choice. Back then, the US had morality and values that we were proud of. We recalled the horrors of the Holocaust and pledged, Never again, never again meant for no one with no exceptions.

Dr. Omer Bartov (a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University) published an opinion piece with the same heading, Never Again n N Y Times, is very clear that he has seen enough, and he knows Genocide and Israel is committing Genocide with full US Support.

Some of the countries have started talking about it, but I am sorry to say that not enough pressure is being put on the Israelis by the West, particularly our country, the US, to change the Israeli calculation.

lol, US is a full bipartisan partner in the genocide! At anytime in the last 21 months it could have been stopped by the US! Our leaders are 100% morally depraved…And if it's true that Epstein was working with Israel, I don't suspect that will change anytime soon!

Blood is on the hands of all Western countries that have only put out “statements”. That includes Canada and Mark Carney. Where is the fucking outrage? How many kids must die before Israel is stopped.

That's the point. No one in the world is strong enough to stand up to the U.S. Israel knows it and is milking that for all its worth. Israel also knows that world public opinion is starting to take a very noticeable change so they are doing all they can to finish the job before they do finally get stopped. They know they probably only have a few more months so the ethnic cleansing must be completed as quickly as possible. Then they can worry about the backlash afterwards. With Trump distracted my domestic affairs, while still supplying the war materials, there is no one to stop this.

We can cry all we want but tears won't stop the genocide. The only thing that will stop this, is force. And no one is willing to step up, yet. At least anyone of importance that have the ability to stand up to Israel and the United States.

Some good news, Dock workers at the Port of Piraeus have refused to unload a ship with military cargo destined to be transferred to a ship bound for Israel.

“We will not unload a single centimetre of this murderous cargo.
The dockworkers of Piraeus will not be complicit”.

We refuse to be tools of the US, Nato, the EU, Israel, or China, who use our country’s infrastructure to reshape the world redrawing borders with the blood of nations of the Palestinian people,”

There is no famine in Gaza.

It is starvation being allowed to happen.

INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION would be possible. NOW. IMMEDIATELY. The siege could easily be broken if there were the political will. Words alone don’t fill empty stomachs. What we are witnessing is the total collapse of humanity by the political class.

But I would say it is not being allowed to happen, it is being made to happen. They, Israel and its allies are making it happen.

Genocide as the Orange Cheeto stands by...disgraceful

HORRIBLE! the children look like Holocaust victims! What is wrong with these people 😕???

Mark S.'s avatar

Military intervention to stop it. Military invasion to prevent them from ever doing this again. Every inch of Israel needs to be returned to Palestinian survivors. Israel no longer has any rights as far as I'm concerned. They're cooked. Done. Unforgivable.

We are witnessing a holocaust in real time. This is absolutely dystopian.

If everyone just stopped going to work, just in the US alone, as a form of protest, just for a week, even, I am sure it would be enough to stop the genocide. People can organize picket lines for higher wages, but not to stop a genocide. What are we, if not animals? We just wake up, try to make a living so we can feed ourselves and our family, eat, sleep, and repeat. I am starting to see less and less differences between us and animals :(

No animals kill because of hate or racism or torture children. The world would be a better place if we were animals.

Yes. Murder on such a scale is something only humans and some ant species can imagine or carry out.

Hind Rajab Foundation, July 2025

Earlier this month, the Hind Rajab Foundation filed new elements in their case against Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Executioner of Gaza”, Brigadier General Yehuda Vach. Alongside his 2 brothers, Colonel Golan Vach, and Captain Elishav Vach, have come to be known by human rights observers as Israel’s “first family of genocide.”

And two Israeli soldiers have been arrested at a music festival in Belgium over war crimes allegations, a campaign group has said.

The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) said in a statement that the two soldiers were attending the Tomorrowland festival in Boom, near Antwerp when they were arrested "with a clear show of force" by Belgian federal police.

After the soldiers were taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released.

HRF said the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway.

The complaint was filed last week by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLan).

Unfortunately, Israel, probably, already has whisked these Israeli soldiers out of the Country!! That’s what Israel always does, no matter how repugnant the crime is!!

"They kill or arrest the doctors, so there will be no one left to save the survivors. They shoot journalists, so there will be no one left to tell the story of their crimes." Exactly. All than and more. And the United States, my country, is deeply complicit in the slaughter. We enable it, rationalize it, justify it, and when Netanyahu comes calling, far too many of our gutless Senators meet with him in a grotesque photo op. It's genocide. It's grotesque. Opposition to this horror is not antisemitism - it's humanitarian outrage.

Reading your article is painful but a necessary read.

Nice to know that AIPAC is getting their money's worth. In 2024... $100,000,000 on elections and $37,860,200 on Lobying

From the beginning, when I first heard that Netanyahu had cut off electricity, food and water from the Palestinian people, I was appauled. "Who the hell is this monster?", I remember thinking, not knowing much about him then. I know now and have known for quite some time who this murderous, sadistic, purely evil man is. I don't 'hate' easily, I hate him, and I hate the US for allowing this to happen. I voted for Joe Biden in 2020, knowing him to be a good and decent human being. After October 7th, and his staunch support for Israel, I began to question him and his motivations. As the war went on, I remember yelling at the tv set, when he was on asking Congress for more money and ammunition for Israel, "Are you out of your fucking mind! WTH, are you doing, those bombs are killing innocent people?!" I could no longer support him, not like I had before. Israel got what they wanted, while berating Biden for not doing enough. As the death toll rose and we started seeing images of the rubble that was once a city, amputations performed in crumbling hospitals, without anesthesia; babies gasping for air, no electricity or gas to run the incubators; bloodied children and elderly. I wanted to throw-up. And US aid continued to flow to Israel. Story after story of Netanyahu's continued blockades, as trucks lined up with food and medical supplies, sitting in the hot sun not allowed to enter the Strip. The US turned a blind eye. Churches and hospitals being bombed. The people moved around like chess pieces to purportedly 'safe zones', where bombs started dropping after they were settled, more maimed and killed. News coming out of the West Bank of settlers killing Palestinians, taking over their homes and land, Palestinian Americans being murdered. The IDF more than happy to kill anyone they deemed expendable. And the US still did nothing, silent. For months now, reports of mass starvation, Netanyahu refusing to allow any food and water through the blockages. Then, when some was allowed through, as starving mothers, fathers, children raced for food, they were shot down in cold blood. trump has several visits from the genocidal maniac, like everything is fine. IT'S NOT FUCKING FINE!!! I had posted on FB from the beginning, that Netanyahu would not be satisfied until Gaza was completely flattened and every single Palestinian was either forced out or was dead. Only then, would he stop the war, and take Gaza for Israel as he had always intended to do. Only then, could he and trump build their 'Riveria by the Sea'. I know the US is complicit for every death and maimed body, but where the hell has the rest of the world been? Why has no one stepped up and said, "Enough!" How can the world just sit by and watch this without becoming outraged? How? Why? Where the hell are the Israeli people in all of this? How are they just sitting by and allowing this carnage to take place every day for the past two years? Or is the Holocaust only something they remember when it's convenient, when Jews are being targeted on college campuses, then it's, "Oh poor us, look at all this antisemitism, students are supporting Palestinians." Then the Holocaust is remembered. Hypocrites. I will never, ever understand or accept the fact that the world stood by and did nothing. I can only hope and pray that whoever is left alive in Gaza and the West Bank, that they can have some peace in their lives going forward, wherever that may be. And I pray, that Karma is the biggest bitch around when it comes to every single person who was complicit in or did nothing to help and save these poor innocent people, beginning with Netanyahu. I wish I could offer more than my prayers but it's all I have to give. I'm sorry.

That’s because for Israel and its ardent supporters, ‘only the Jewish lives matter’, while they actively Dehumanize the Palestinians and non-Jews! Worse, they feel justified while carrying out the brutal, sadistic Military Campaign against the Palestinian Civilians, Women and Children!!!

It’s absolutely beyond my comprehension that the entire world is not on fire to stop this crime against humanity. Regardless of the thousands of congressional letters or phone calls, this administration refuses to acknowledge and address this horrific situation. A reckoning will come, unfortunately it doesn’t seem it will come in time to save these poor children and that rips my heart apart.

At some point in not too distant future there will be a Palocaust Museum and as we visit that museum we will be asking ourselves 'How did we allow this to happen, why didn't the world stand up to America, the principal enabler of this genocidal regime'
