I detest HAMAS, but I am not so gullible & easily mislead to believe that HAMAS has ever had as much power or weaponry as Israel wants us to believe.
Israel needs an obvious enemy to point at as an excuse so that Israel can more easily attack and destroy Palestinians: FYI Palestinians are human beings- men, women, and children with hopes and dreams, human beings who are a diverse mix of good, bad, and indifferent just like all other human beings, regardless of supposed race or religion.
Gaza City, a city over five thousand years old, is being destroyed by Israeli bombs and explosives. The destruction of this ancient city coupled with the day-by-day massacres of its men, women, and children is being live streamed on social media. Meanwhile our mainstream legacy media barely notices, and when it does publicize anything, it phrases things to protect and coddle Israel.
Fact is modern Israel craves a never-ending supply of money & weaponry paid for by Western wage slaves who risk their jobs & livelihoods when they dare object to the cruel injustice, hypocrisy, bigotry and toxic delusions that are currently convincing IDF soldiers to make a sport out of targeting and killing young children in the rubble & ruin of Gaza.
How many more countries will Israel attack, how many more cities & villages & homes will Israeli forces raze, how many more farms & gardens will Israel wreck, how many more young lives will Israel ruin, and how many more families will Israeli settlers and colonizers torment and push into poverty.
Knowing our history, America should be firmly endorsing peace with the rule of fair and just laws & true equality based on justice and security for ALL people: Religion is a personal private choice, religion should not funded by tax payers here or there, and religion most certainly should not be used as a reason or an excuse to hate and harm others.
Political violence, racist violence, religious violence, war violence, drug violence, domestic violence, etc.: Violence is a problem- not the answer.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

"No self-respecting journalist considers Holocaust denial a legitimate point of view, and no serious media organisation argues that impartiality requires it to provide Holocaust denial with a platform in any serious discussion about Germany's extermination of Europe's Jews during World War Two - let alone equal time, or beginning and ending every such discussion with "Germany said". Gaza Genocide denial, by contrast, is a well-organised and orchestrated global campaign sponsored, funded, and avidly promoted - without any hindrance whatsoever - by the regime perpetrating the genocide."
AFTER SAVAGERY: "The West’s moral exceptionalism has expired. What’s left is the hard work of rebuilding universality from the camp outward, universality as solidarity, not domination. Palestine is not a cause on your list; it is a lens. Through it, everything sharpens: climate justice, policing, borders, surveillance, labour. The same empire, the same alibi. Choose your side."
“It is catastrophic throughout the city. Nonstop airstrikes everywhere, including without prior warning. Almost every moment a house gets bombed. It’s terrifying,” an UNRWA doctor in Gaza City told us. Intensified Israeli attacks on Gaza City continue. People have nowhere to go. No place is safe. This war must stop. CeasefireNow

"Apply international law and the UN Charter, which form the basis of your legitimacy. Use these tools to enforce the acceptance of the exchange deal that Qatar, Egypt, and the United States have worked on. Use them to stop the aggression on Gaza, to end the starvation, to enforce the entry of humanitarian aid," Jordan’s FM Ayman Safadi at UN Security Council Sept. 2025: "Safadi described the ‘Israeli’ government as "a rogue government, stained with the blood of innocents, driven by extremism and hatred, that neither cares for international law nor is deterred by human values.""

Global military spending reached an unprecedented $2.7 trillion in 2024 amid intensifying wars and rising geopolitical tensions worldwide. “The world is spending far more on waging war than in building peace,” the UN Secretary-General António Guterres said at a press briefing for his new report on the threat posed by the steady rise in military expenditure.

Palestinians to ask UK to own up to ‘law violations’ between 1917 and 1948 Petition, drafted by human rights lawyers, says war crimes were committed during British occupation of Palestine
"Hello from Palestine! This is Lifta. It was a Palestinian village just outside of Jerusalem. In 1948, Zionist paramilitaries massacred local residents and launched repeated attacks. They drove out the local population. This was one example of the horrors of the Nakba, when 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes and 15,000 were murdered. Today only the ruins remain, but a few of the survivors - and many thousand descendants - live on." Owen Jones

"In Gaza, journalists are not just relaying the tragedies of displacement, loss, and starvation. They are experiencing it firsthand in all of its extremities, too. But when journalists are also targets, who reports on them? More than 270 Palestinian media personnel have been killed in 21 months. Who defended them? This was the duty of international journalists: to stand by their peers, to serve as their armour, to amplify their voices." Mariam Barghouti
"The media’s initial reporting and subsequent failure to hold Israel truly accountable highlights a disturbing trend in which Western outlets choose Israeli propaganda over the truth, often downplaying and normalising blatant violations of international law. As such, the media allows the continued dehumanisation of Palestinians and the normalisation of Israel’s atrocities, even genocide. The Nasser hospital bombing is not an aberration, it is part of a larger pattern of Israeli aggression against Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, homes, and schools. " Assal Rad
"Beyond Gaza, in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military and armed settlers are inflicting appalling violence on Palestinians – annexation is now a declared political objective. The world’s indifference and inaction are shocking; amount to complicity; and compromise the stability of the entire region." UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini ..."UNRWA must be allowed to deliver aid and reverse the man-made famine in Gaza."
