So as the years roll by and Israel becomes more obviously cruel to the men, women, and children of historic Palestine, I cannot help but think that most Israelis are sadists who find pleasure in Palestinian suffering and pain.
I know for a fact that there are good and decent Jewish people on planet earth, there are good and decent Jewish groups on earth... but Israel is bad.
Modern man-made Israel's influence and advice is very very bad: Israel stands in long term and egregious violation of multiple international laws. But our politicians idolize a fantasy they have of Israel, and our mainstream media has spent decades reinforcing Zionist lies and misinformation by shaping most every story to diminish, denigrate, vilify, dismiss, and destroy Palestinians and those that care for them.
Israel used the United Nations to become a sovereign nation state in
1948, and now in 2026, having taken every inch of historic Palestine it
can capture and occupy, Jews-preferred Israel seeks to destroy the
United Nations starting with UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) one of many United Nations relief and human development agencies.
Building a land grabbing Apartheid wall PLUS multiple checkpoints to choke Palestinian roads intersected by Israeli-only express highways that serve Jews-only settlement projects is bad- but that is just the tip of the iceberg. For decades now, Israel has been deploying bulldozers, bombs, lawfare, injustice, "settlers" and savage brutality to destroy Palestinian individuals, communities, commerce, and to steal vital Palestinian resources like water. That is just a few of many monstrously heinous actions that Zionist Israel has taken so far, in Israel's gruesome quest to torture and destroy "others."
Right now, the "others" targeted and tortured by Israel are Palestinians and those that care for them. Arab Christians and Muslims, neighboring countries.... Israel creates a huge refugee crisis, and now freely bombs refugee camps.
An Israeli sniper intentionally targets and kills a baby in his mother's arms.
I object.
This situation is not healthy or wise.
Israel is a very bad investment.
Sincerely,

"It should not have taken mass slaughter and apocalyptic destruction. But the daily stream of horror from Gaza is what finally broke through the overwhelming propaganda machine and media ecosystem that perpetuates the narrative of Israel’s “right to self-defence,” while castigating any form of resistance by occupied and oppressed Palestinians. Americans were not only shocked by the disturbing images from Gaza—parents carrying the remains of their children in plastic bags, children amputated without anaesthetic, entire neighbourhoods flattened, and so much more—they were also seeing the blatant hypocrisy of Western governments and media playing out in real time. What they were being told directly contradicted what they were seeing with their own eyes." Assal Rad
Gaza’s archaeological heritage was destroyed in Israel’s genocide. These volunteers are trying to salvage it from the rubble: Israeli forces systematically and deliberately targeted many of Gaza’s archaeological sites, including ancient churches. Before the war, Gaza was home to archaeological sites and artifacts from periods spanning more than 5,000 years of continuous human civilization. Some looted artifacts have quietly resurfaced in a Paris exhibition
New Maps Show How Israel Has Thwarted Hopes for a Palestinian State
Israeli forces repeatedly stop aid and goods truck drivers at military checkpoints and inside the Kerem Shalom crossing, forcing them to strip, beating them, and humiliating them, even after they have received prior security approval to work and access these areas.
Palestinian woman and NBC News team attacked by masked Israeli settlers in West Bank. The woman and crew were treated for injuries..... Between Jan. 1 and July 24, Israeli forces [IDF] or settlers [Zionists] killed 76 Palestinians, according to the latest data available from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Three Israelis were killed over the same period, the data shows.

"In Gaza, Palestinian journalists filming on their phones have provided an indispensable record of a war foreign reporters have largely been prevented from entering. There, picking up a camera is an act of extraordinary courage." Phoebe Greenwood
The Guardian: Smoke rises after an Israeli attack in Gaza. A witness said the strike targeted the Asqalan prayer hall, which is home to many Gaza residents displaced during the Israeli incursion. More than 100 French and British former diplomats have said Palestine is being erased in front of the world’s eyes and called for urgent action including trade and arms sales bans to press Israel to accept a Palestinian state.

"Well, Core 5 is going ahead with the demolition of my Great Great Grandparents' farmhouse. While this lack of respect for our local history makes me sad, it pales in comparison to the losses experianced daily by Palestinians who are being systematically forced off their land by the illegal and immoral actions of the Likud government and its settler proxies."

Suleiman Mansour 1947-2026... "Palestine has lost one of its most iconic painters, Sliman Mansour, who passed away today in Jerusalem. Mansour immortalised Palestine’s memory and steadfastness in his art, rendering eternal the struggle of a people living under the grip of the dystopian military occupation by Israel. Rest in peace."

Calculated deception: How Israel uses diplomacy to buy time for Gaza’s destruction
Francesca Albanese says that what’s happening in West Bank is a continuation of Israel’s [1948] Nakba
How much is your support for Israel worth? Try $1 billion [that we know of]... Israel is spending wads of cash on public diplomacy in a desperate attempt to reverse waning American support for the country after it stands accused of genocide in Gaza and pushing the U.S. into the Iran war.
Dear America, American taxpayers are being forced to fund the cruel destruction of Palestine, international law AND our own country's future... This is crazy and wrong- oh so wrong!
DEAR AMERICA
WE THE PEOPLE are being forced to fund weapons, escalating war, hate, and hypocrisy everywhere.
ICE and Israel should both be de-funded and de-fanged.
Jobs created by the weapons industry bring temporary economic relief to some- while inflicting immense pain and suffering on many many many more.
Pushing all commerce online to "Save A Tree" ends up decimating numerous forests and fields for energy and water hungry Data Centers. CEOs and our elected leaders take huge profits while taxpayers are left with escalating losses, including the surging loss of land and water for hyperscale Data Centers.
Anti-immigrant legislation and excessive funding for ICE are more about protecting wealthy people and corporations, who can hire illegals knowing that the workers and their families will be too afraid to complain about dangerous working conditions, low pay, long hours, and slum landlord housing.
You can't win a modern war. You can destroy homes & families, you can usurp land & resources from the rightful owners, and you can undermine & destroy a free press and the fourth estate- but people worldwide have memories, as well as a sense of right and wrong that cannot be bombed into oblivion.
STOP THE BOMBS and the bigotry, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop accepting bribes & propaganda & bad advice from a very foreign country that seeks to destroy support for UNIVERSAL human rights and the rule of fair and just laws.
Along the way we learned that slavery is wrong. We learned that domestic violence is wrong. We learned that racist hate is wrong. SO WHY are we funding Israel and why are we bombing Iran for Israel!!!
Violence is a problem- not the answer
The power of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the power of ideas to change the world. It inspires us to continue working to ensure all people can gain freedom, equality and dignity...
In 1945, 50 nations came together in San Francisco to create a new organization for peace, prosperity & human rights- the United Nations
"The United Nations is the only place on Earth where all the world's nations come together to discuss common problems and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity. This intergovernmental organization born out of the ashes of the Second World War remains indispensable to the pursuit of world peace, justice, equality and sustainable development" https://www.un.org/en/
