I appreciate your continued focus on the horrors taking place in Gaza. The increasing danger of a war with Iran has provided an excuse for the media to ignore these atrocities.
I want the FULL attention of every reader to be on the plight of the Palestinian people. Please edit your articles so readers don’t get tripped up. See this example:
“Every single day, starving Palestinians are forced to journey to remote areas to try and get food and attacked en masse, turning so-called aid distribution sites into open killing fields.”
I really am at a loss for words. I have nothing but hate in my heart for my government and for Israel.
This has nothing to do with this article but I just want to say: I am 77, in poor health with a lot of pain and am having cataract surgery soon. When you send me those codes to authenticate me it really hard to act that fast. I subscribed to Drop Site at the first email I got. I have followed Jeremy for years and had him sign his Dirty Wars book in Minneapolis years ago. And have followed Sharif (and Jeremy) since the old days of Democracy Now. Am just frustrated!! Sorry
i know exactly what you mean since I am frustrated very often in the same way. - there is one brokerage firm that not only wants me to find the tiny answer button on the phone which i rarely can but then gives you exactly two seconds to find the number 1 button or else you are cut off. i don't need a code for Drop Site but I am a subscriber. As we age, frustration is a constant companion but at least we had the chance to grow old unlike some of these young Palestinians whose bravery makes light of our frustrations I think.
How is this not being globally called out as a war crime? Crime against humanity? Just when I think I cannot be more angry and heartbroken, Israel ups the ante.
Using food distribution as bait for the continuing genocide is as depraved as all the other means of genocide such as bombing hospitals. Even the criminal Katz said bombing hospitals was a war crime, but he meant bombing their hospitals. It is amazing how they can be so transparently deceitful they are about their lies and propaganda, like a 12-year-old but of course he was directing his comments to US politicians who can never see things in context just like the corporate media.
I heard a journalist describe the Zionist regime as Satanic, and I have to agree. I am completely baffled by the silence and complicity of our politicians at the horrors being inflicted on the Palestinian people. They - those in our government and many others have turned into zombies- heartless, devoid of life.
I am not hopeful for change anytime soon and it scares me. Despite the indescribable stories and images, I will not turn away; it would be a betrayal.
I am grateful for Drop Site and their unvarnished journalism. It is a heart breaking position to hold, that is chronicling the destruction of human life. Drop News - Not Bombs!
What is it with Zionism and Zionists? Isn't regular slaughter good enough? Must it be slaughter while innocent starving civilians are directed towards the little aid that is being rationed? Is this a condemned person's last meal, if lucky enough to cook (without clean water and no fuel) or is this just pure evil that we are witnessing, day in and day out!!
i read this, i follow, but it is UNIMAGINABLE that we cannot STOP this, WHY CAN WE NOT STOP THIS HORROR?! the whole world needs to be marching to GAZA, would they kill all of us.....after 20 months of watching Israel it is clear, yes they would then blame any survivors. i have never used the word EVIL but there is nothing else that can encompass the depth of hideousness of this regime and its enthusiastic followers
I get that this is probably hyperbole—or at least I hope so. And before you jump to conclusions: no, I'm not pro-Israel. Fuck Israel. They’re committing genocide.
Now, let’s zoom out. If you truly think this is the worst happening right now—man, just look at Sudan. The RSF is doing horrors on a scale that makes Gaza look tame by comparison. Women forming suicide pacts to avoid being raped and burned alive. Displacement camps being seized and people massacred. You want to talk about evil? That’s evil.
Or check the Congo. Or what the Burmese military’s been doing for years. Or Islamist insurgencies across the Horn and Sub-Saharan Africa—genocide, slavery, child soldiers, mass rape—daily. But nobody gives a shit because it’s Africa.
Israel is horrific, no doubt. But this isn’t some isolated evil—it’s a symptom. The planet is a fucked-up place. Homo sapiens are just clever apes with a talent for massacre. And while one war dominates headlines, ten others rage on in silence.
It's unfathomable to me that a people who endured a genocide themselves can turn around and do the same thing, and even worse, to other people. Israelis are the most depraved people in the world, worse than Nazis. It would be better for the world if Israel did not exist.
You say it’s unfathomable that people who survived genocide could turn around and commit one themselves. But that’s not some unexpected twist—it’s basically the historical default.
Take the Holocaust. Nazis exterminated Jews across Europe. Then, after the war, millions of ethnic Germans—including civilians—were violently expelled from Central and Eastern Europe. That wasn’t justice. That was payback with a body count.
Then the Nakba: Palestinians get ethnically cleansed in 1948. Not long after, Jews across the Arab world—Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen—get hit with their own round of expulsions and asset seizures. Another tit-for-tat ethnic purge. Different players, same game.
And then Rwanda. This one is the textbook UNO Reverse Card Genocide. The Hutu regime commits genocide against Tutsis. The Tutsis come back in force, flip the board, and wipe out the Hutu regime—massacring thousands as they push them out. The surviving genociders flee into Congo, where they regroup as militias like the FDLR. So what do the Tutsis do? March into Congo and keep killing them—and everyone near them. That shit spiral has been spinning for decades.
We like to pretend that genocide leads to justice. It doesn’t. It leads to another genocide. History isn’t a morality play—it’s a revenge loop. The moment power shifts, the tables turn, and somebody plays the Reverse Card.
I’m praying for you Hamza. I care so much but I am just an ordinary citizen. You are not alone. I am praying and praying for a miracle. I pray the Lord end your suffering.

This situation is utterly despicable! Hope the International Criminal Court is paying attention and figures out a way to nab those responsible!

Israel is the most negative force on the planet—worse even than the evil of trump...

Yes I am heartbroken too as I think of all the mothers and father crying over their dead child and cannot let go

We must tie our contributions to Isreal to their cecesatin of attacks on Palestinians.

THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT has abandoned it's mission.
What is it with Zionism and Zionists? Isn't regular slaughter good enough? Must it be slaughter while innocent starving civilians are directed towards the little aid that is being rationed? Is this a condemned person's last meal, if lucky enough to cook (without clean water and no fuel) or is this just pure evil that we are witnessing, day in and day out!!

So no, it’s not shocking. It’s absolutely normal.
It certainly would
U.S.=SS, Israel=SS.
I’m praying for you Hamza. I care so much but I am just an ordinary citizen. You are not alone. I am praying and praying for a miracle. I pray the Lord end your suffering.
How can such horrors be allowed.....???? How long will Israel be allowed to carry out it's sick
depraved assault on the Palestinian people.
What kind of a world are we living in? Is this the new norm?
