Israel and the US do this again and again with no impunity. What it has enabled is more than 70 formerly democratic governments to embrace Autocracy.

This is the root.

we need a military coop here in the states to remove our current crazy set of psycopaths in WashingtonDC and it's surround.

Our Generals know the horrors of war and what is necessary and required and morally corect before intering them. Our leaders in Congress, and the White house and in the deep state don't.

Bring them all down Generals. Restore America to it's people...protect us from those not protecting and living up to our Constitution and rule of law. Do your job...now

are you serious? the generals are as corrupt as the politicians if not worst. the game is you become general, you advocate for wars that benefit rtx, boeing, palantir, etc. and when you're done sucking up our tax money for your salary, you get a "job" doing nothing and making fat money for the private sector.

i mean good for you though. i couldn't imagine how happy i would be living in a world where the generals of the evil empire's war machine were good guys.

This is more evidence of a deliberate genocide, by Israel to kill everyone in Gaza, and now Lebanon With American weapons. I call the unprovoked bombing as what they are. A genocide paid for by US dollars to assist Israel in it's goal to wipe all women and children and innocent people who have been senseless destroyed by murderers. A genocide by a country who survived a genocide in WWII. The victims of that genocide are now committing another genocide. US must cease all involvement is this insane killing

Israel is not in danger. Yet like their murders, are now committing the same atrocities they suffered.

The world must rise, this time and end the daily killing of innocent children.

Where is the UN?

Wait, is Israel trying to kill everyone in Lebanon? I won't dispute the Gaza part, but Lebanon? What makes you think that?

If you say they're trying to kill every Lebanese person with Hezbollah affiliation, that would still be inaccurate, but much closer to reality.

And “unprovoked”? It wasn’t unprovoked. Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel after October 7th — in response to the Israeli onslaught in Gaza. So Israel's actions in Lebanon are a reaction to that. You can debate the scale or proportionality, but calling it unprovoked is just false.

And about the UN — the UN is a talking club. It has literally no real power, just a bunch of soft power everyone is wiping their ass with. The ICC and ICJ have less actual power than a regional court in Trinidad and Tobago. At least that local court can actually enforce something.

If you want to stop it, then file a lawsuit in your own country against it. The UN won’t save anyone.

Heartbreaking and horrifying. Arab and Muslim lives hold zero respect to the west. Everyone should read April 28 issue of The New Yorker magazine article titled Letters from Gaza.

Zionist Israel has earned complete erasure at this point, as did Nazi Germany for its crimes against humanity and the Holocaust. The only problem is that Zionist Israel has more western allies than Nazi Germany had.

So long as Zionism exists in the form of Israel, Palestinians and neighboring countries will face many more deadly massacres to come, facilitated by the US.

Only a complete rebellion inside western countries can save us from Zionism at this point.

DEFUND ZIONISM NOW!!!

One should also note that Zionism serves a crucial role in western imperialism across the Arab world and West Asia. Western imperialism remains the root cause of people’s short, starved, amputated, charred lives in the region. Take away imperialism and everything collapses, including the arms industry, the Pentagon, the CIA, infinite wars and war crimes. Such a world remains entirely within our reach but requires our focus and intelligent effort.

Humanity has to work toward ending imperialism everywhere by everyone, or we risk forever facing the succession of one imperialism after another: China, Russia, European Union, etc. Imperialism destroys human potential, progress, peace and coexistence among us all. We must vigilantly fight against it everywhere. 7 billion humans can most definitely defeat a handful of imperialist monsters.

We are David and imperialism is Goliath!

Slavery, Native American genocide, Hiroshima, Shock and Awe and of course now, Genocide in Gaza. (I've missed a few others as well ...)

We have a whole lot to repent.

The absolute evil and depravity of religion itself is manifest by the evangelical Christian's belief that Jesus will come back AFTER the Zionist entity (who's name can no longer be spoken) controls ALL of the territory of Palestine. And with it, the total destruction of Iran. This is the vile garbage that drives US policy in support of the Zionist entity. It is the (supposed) message from God, overriding any human court of justice.

It’s imperialism pure and simple, backed by a distortion of religious teachings to justify it.
