DM Brooklyn, more Gaslighting? To disparage students sacrificing themselves in an effort to stop an ongoing genocide is pathetic, to say the least. To be fair, it’s despicable as it’s intended to defend the indefensible; justifying the disproportionate reaction of fascists aggressors that persist in using 10/7 as a pretext to justify what they wanted all along; kill all Palestinians; not just the pesky ones that have opposed the theft of their homeland, violation of their rights, apartheid , brutality and more; for over 7 decades. Palestinians never consented to Imperialist British Mandate and/scheme.

If a terrorist hides in a school, would we condone bombing and starving teachers, students and neighbors in an insatiable quest for revenge?

To debate the moral depravity of fascist Zionist Israel is likely offensive to people of goodwill and a contrived distraction from needed action to stop what Dr Bandy X Lee refers to as a ‘death spiral’ in which (modern) humanity finds itself. (This modern madness is led by profit-seeking oligarchs who want even more; their demagogues, sycophants and many vulnerable cult followers.) I regret lacking the patience needed to help de-program gullible cult followers, a worthy/needed mission that requires training and extraordinary patience, as well as free health care for all.

We must support the BDS movement, one that toppled the U.S. supported apartheid in So Africa. If Zionist Biden prefers to continue defending the indefensible genocide we may be obligated to call for him to step-aside. Hopefully, VP Kamala Harris will demand her Zionist mate to shut up while she does the right thing; demand a cease-fire, end non humanitarian aid to Israel, etc. Being antiZionist is not antisemitic; it’s humanistic.

Robert, you hit the nail on the head, I couldn't agree more with your description of how things really are. Time to stop giving a pass to the present Israeli government. Besides, most of the Israeli population agree with what is going on and want it to continue. Shameful.

Would you say that America from 2016 to 2020 during the reign of Donald Trump was a fascist country. No I doubt it. Being governed by monstrous people who barely won does not make Israel a fascist country.

And don’t reply until you can know the difference,
