If Israel really wants people to believe it is only exercising its right of self-defense, it might start by respecting the sovereignty of its neighbors, Lebanon and Syria, as well as that of Iran. Aggressors lose that right.

"... it might start by respecting the sovereignty of its neighbors..."

No way that's gonna happen. Israel is a black hole, sucking everything in the known universe into its own, distinct universe, where none of reality-based knowledge and custom - history, science, language, the arts, logic, the bases of civility, ethics, law, etc. - exists.

It is a cosmology entirely unto itself, where all existence relates solely to Israel. This is well illustrated in the Israeli education-cum-indoctrination system, operating from child- through adulthood, in which a schoolchild, asked by the teacher how much 2+2 equals, joyfully responds "Israel!", and gets a star (of David) planted on his or her forehead.

Thus it is neither uncommon nor inappropriate when someone responds to the latest Israeli/Zionist barbarity, "Unbelievable, simply out of this world."

The zionist entity is past the point of no return. It's the western European enablers and the US hegemon, that are breathing life into this apartheid zionist settler colony in occupied Palestine and profiting from the genocide, that's keeping it afloat. Once the profits dry up they'll go elsewhere. So it's up to individual nations to BDS this genocidal entity. But is the will there, that's the hurdle. Meanwhile the slaughter of Palestinian people continues, while the West watches. Free free Palestine 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴

More Israeli war crimes. I wonder how much longer the international community will sit on its hands and do absolutely nothing?

Thank you, Jeremy. It is beyond commendable that you have returned to your work of exposing the crimes of Israel, after what they did to you only a few months ago. Be safe, and keep on keeping on!

There is nothing - N-O-T-H-I-N-G - positive to be said of Israel, the Zionists. All that they do is take what they want from others, and destroy what remains. They are a drain on humanity, and must be stopped, and held to account.

I'll let my initial comment stand, but with a bit of hindsight I think better wording would have been, "There is nothing - N-O-T-H-I-N-G - that Israel and the Zionists contribute to humankind. All that they do is take what they want - feel entitled to - from others, and destroy what remains. They are a drain on humanity, must be stopped, and held to account."

They did the same to Bint Jbeil in 2006 and the resistance ran them out. Today, they can only do such destruction by their punk actions of setting off remote pagers causing massive injury from afar, punks, and in Gaza, starvation. They are straight up genocidal savages.

Not just Trump. So did Biden and the Democratic Party operatives--overwhelmingly. Together, the two cartel PARTIES represent Trump and Biden and form nearly 100% of all of the governments, federal, state and local, in the USA.

Yet, the citizens of the USA overwhelmingly oppose genocide, undeclared wars, the parties overseeing the kidnapping of health care to convert an essential need into a for-profit scheme as the way to let a few families loot the entire working class, the destruction of the planet, and the institutionalization of a federal police to control citizens, prevent protests, dissent, and remove free speech by fear and force -- the last, that Bibi Netanyahu openly demanded of Biden and his administration to unleash against college protests.

The parties represent operatives like Trump and Biden and their anointed lackeys, but not the people. To still proclaim the USA is "a democracy" or a 'democratic republic' seems now as absurd as not being able to openly call a genocide "a genocide." The two cartel parties may as well be subsidiaries of the Israeli government.

Just a week or two ago I went looking to see what had happened to you after your detainment but found nothing. I'm relieved to see something from you today.

I agree with Jeffrey Hobbs. Israel's continuous killing of its minority of Palestinian civilians, amounting to ethnic cleansing, has been brutal, excessive and contrary to international law. The Netanyahu regime, wrongly supported unconditionally by the United States, is bathed in blood. They have no idea what diplomacy is, let alone how to do it.

I am now seeing Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene voicing sensible and long overdue criticisms of self-defeating American support of genocidal Israel as democrats flail and pretzel twist into oblivion. What a world.

It’s just a matter of time. They will be driven out like last time.
