It's genocide! As a Jewish-American named after a Polish rabbi who perished in the Holocaust, I am ashamed and saddened that a nation founded by its survivors is committing the atrocity they suffered a century ago.

We must go to the streets to stop the Israeli Slaughter of innocent humans. With each murder the world sees Israel sink further and further into into its self-imposed cauldron of hatred. And all this for a right wing theological leadership headed by a alleged civil and war criminal considered by most as guilty of genocide. Mark your calendar for April 5, 2025, we must put an end to this madness.

I am ashamed and infuriated that the US is paying for this destruction while our civil rights are eroded more daily with the Slime in the White House. My best wishes go to you.

I feel helpless when I think of how many people and their environments are destroyed with My Tax Money. I don't know what to do except protest when I can

This is absolutely sickening! Are there no sane countries left on Earth who are capable of stopping this slaughter??

Obviously not. They are all scared and tied up in their sad little lives.

The husband's statement says it all: “We are alone in this world. No one cares.”

Until EVERYONE cares, until everyone actually DOES something, yes, they will continue to be abandoned. And note that in times of dire need, just assume that everyone, in every country will be alone - the "international community" can no longer be counted on for assistance. They are all cowed.

The despicable leaders of the "free world" should hide their abominable faces in shame. They have brought nothing but political, economic, environmental, and social disasters to the rest of the world. We should all give up on the concept of "leaders" and create a community of people connected through our scholars, artists and intellectuals. Such a world is possible but will require our tireless work and lifelong devotion to make it a reality.

Unfortunately, Those of us who care have no power to help the people. Why is Trump authorizing the massacre of 400 + Palestinians, which includes 174 CHILDREN, 89 WOMEN and in ONE DAY? What happened to the ceasefire??? Why is the WORLD so helpless? Why is the WORLD so weak kneed that as a world, they are incapable of keeping the children of Gaza safe from this genocide? Most of us thought we live in a civilized world, but that can't be the case if NO COUNTRY will intervene to protect those of us who live in a danger zone. I thought that President Trump intended to bring PEACE to Ukraine and Gaza? Are the American people aware that WE ARE SUBSIDIZING this slaughter, this genocide? Did the Israelis buy his support for the carnage taking place. My heart breaks for the poor innocent people being slaughtered.

This horrific genocide must stop! You and your family should not have to live in such fear, Rasha! Your neighbors should still be alive. I sat behind a US Senator on a commercial flight in October. I asked him to support Bernie Sanders’ resolution to stop sending weapons. His sneer spoke volumes. I have sent email after email to the White House and our congressional reps. I went to their office this morning. It was closed. I will keep going. I cannot rest with my children knowing what you and yours are suffering under our tax dollars. I remember how much debate there was after the first hospital bombing. Look at us now. This has to stop. I send donations to aid workers and journalists. It’s not enough. I will keep trying.
