Boy, it continues to appear that the upper echelons of the Democratic Party sure wants to lose the election by dissing the wishes of 83 percent of their constituents. They may as well be working for the Trump campaign. Democracy has been denied to the Palestinians and it may be denied to the American populace by this disgraceful charade.

where did you get 83% of the voters?? Most Americans think Hamas is the bad guy...that it started on Oct 7. And, that the Palestinians are terrorists. I read The NY Times comments and either the most "recommended' comment is by a Jew, approved of by Jews and those crazy Christians who donate to the Lobby that controls the government. It's sickening. I'm damn close to suspending my online subscription to the Times...I have been a subscriber for 50 years...It's becoming more and more less essential. I just donated $ via the UN to the relief fund for Palestine....how the F are they or anyone going to get relief into Gaza? This is the worst GD thing ever. and there's plenty of competition.....It ranks with the Nazis.

The NYT, WaPo and the rest of legacy media are a major component in the steamroller heading towards us right now. They used to be great newspapers but these days they are in bed with those they should be exposing, and certainly no longer believe in free speech.

83% of Democratic voters, not all voters, he said. Anyone with sense understands it did not start October 7, that October 7 was resistance to ongoing apartheid and killing.

Israel are the terrorists, not Palestinians overwhelmingly.

Otherwise good comments and thanks for donating to aid.

Seven in 10 likely voters тАФ including majorities of Democrats (83%), Independents (65%), and Republicans (56%) тАФ support the U.S. calling for a permanent ceasefire and a de-escalation of violence in Gaza. From recent polling.

It's time to cancel that NYT subscription. Between the censorship of it's journalists coverage of Gaza and the sane-washing of Trump, NYT has proven it has no moral compass. Too bad, its food section and puzzles are worth the price of a subscription, but nothing is worth what amounts to tacit approval of its complete lack of journalistic standards.

I feel the same. NYT has become selective about the commentary as well. The reporting falls in line more as flowery opinion than actual reporting.

I just saw on youtube: the 6 hostages killed by Hamas. They were speaking, yelling at Netanyahu to make a deal so they can go home. They blamed Israel for their capture, their suffering and for the fear they have due to the constant bombing. Very powerful. Obviously NOT coerced to speak by Hamas. They were speaking the truth. After hundreds of Palestinians were killed in a capture of 2 hostages, Hamas decided that in any capture attempt by the iDF, they would kill the hostages that are their bargaining chips. Israel WAS responsible for their capture and would have murdered them if they had a chance to put into action the Hannibal Directive. If the IDF hadn't been completely ineffective as security for their safety, there would have been fewer deaths and no hostages. The following is from The Times of India but probably paying on many channels.
