“Some parents in Gaza have resorted to writing their children's names on their legs to help identify them should either they or the children be killed.” - CNN, 10/22/2023
the question that has never been answered fully is why? Why is this allowed in a post colonial world? Who are the "true" operators and their reasons. MIC for sure, WEF unlinked, Bank of London, Federal Reserve Bank, Black Rock, Vanguard, all operating in full force in Western nations, rarely mentioned when they fund all of this. Why aren't we directed towards them rather than this shit we already know as poet, Auden already said. This leads to the question not only about the number of Zionists in our government and institutions, but whether their loyaltly to USA is not usurped by their loyalty to Israel. My feeling is that we have traitors to the USA within our institutions and our government. Prove me wrong.
made me cry. thanks for being a voice crying out in the wilderness...it's not your failure that so few want to listen. The children of Gaza, their parents and grandparents, and concerned people around the planet are grateful for your voice.
Thanks again Chris. The censorship and distortions by the MSM is insane! here in Canada we have "Honest" Reporting Canada". That is merely a wing of Israel's Ministry of Truth. They attack even the most remotest revelation of conditions in Israel/Palestine, with weaponized anti Semitism. The editors are terrified of them. I have sent many many letters to the editors and just one was printed. I have been reduced to making driving protests with small Palestinian car flags and signs that first started with "Cease Fire" and has now turned into "Stop the Genocide in Gaza". Many drivers give thumbs up, waves or supporting honks. Only once did a passenger stick out his middle finger. It shows we are the majority. Trudeau is like Obama all looks and no substance. His father Pierre Elliot must be spinning in his grave, he gave American draft dodgers sanctuary! Most Liberal supporters are mad as He--, he will not survive the next election. Problem is we too have a Trump like Neo Con Christian fascist Pierre Poilievre a renowned Libertarian. He will be a Trump poodle if both he and Trump win. Trudeau is Genocide Joe's poodle now! Why American foreign policy is controlled by Zionist fascist Jews is outrageous and beyond belief, but still they say anti Semitism blocks their way. Killer Kissinger had blood on his hands over Palestine and the ME and the Bloody Torch was passed down to Bloody Blinken! What a hideous Joke!
I went and looked up the Armenian genocide, and Turkey has wiped most of the evidence of it, it's ficked up! They are talking like they are gonna help the Palestinians, but they are not doing much. And here Turkey & the US and many other countries started the same horrible way as Israel, wiping out & and open air enprisoning the indigenous survivors.
This is just fact to fact to fact. He is an amazing speaker, those people are blessed to have him for a professor. It's so incredibly sad, and yet I feel powerless. I think there is some way to stop it. Protest everything. Everywhere. We live in an oligarchy 💯 his honesty is amazing! He has got to be on a kill list or 2.
In recent weeks, Chris Hedges has had much, much more to say about the plight of the Palestinians than he has ever said about members of the U.S. working class who have been bullied into a state of fear, poverty and censorship by COVID tyranny ...
Here's one of his more memorable quotes that no longer rings true ... from his book WAGES OF REBELLION: "I do not fight fascists because I think we will win, I fight them because they are fascists" ... if he really practiced this principle, he never would have thrown the working class under the bus with COVID by quietly refusing to stand with us against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports ... on this topic, he has only said: "it's a tough decision" ... when in fact, he never should have had a second thought about standing with us ...
What a powerful, evocative essay! Respect for your commitment to the truth and to those whom the powerful would prefer to permanently bury under their bombs and lies.
There is no "genocide in Gaza". Just stop. There is Israel trying to ensure the safety of its people after Palestinian terrorist brutally murdered, raped and kidnapped innocent Israel citizens.
I have a Palestinian scarf, from Amazon. I wear it here but no one notices. I have sent an email to somewhere in the State dept. but that was months ago and I don't recall....it was being pissed off at Biden's support. And, saying none of MY tax money for $$ or weapons to Israel. ...have not heard back and obviously......
I am 75 and autistic and just learning to write and I can no longer listen to Chris Hedges. He will not listen to his heart he is too stuck in his head. It is time to listen to John Ralston Saul he is a GIANT and you are chris hedges.

“Some parents in Gaza have resorted to writing their children's names on their legs to help identify them should either they or the children be killed.” - CNN, 10/22/2023
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Use the black permanent marker
with the ink that doesn’t bleed
if it gets wet, the one that doesn’t melt
if it’s exposed to heat
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Make the lines thick and clear
Add your special flourishes
so I can take comfort in seeing
my mama’s handwriting when I go to sleep
Write my name on my leg, Mama
and on the legs of my sisters and brothers
This way we will belong together
This way we will be known
as your children
Write my name on my leg, Mama
and please write your name
and Baba’s name on your legs, too
so we will be remembered
as a family
Write my name on my leg, Mama
Don’t add any numbers
like when I was born or the address of our home
I don’t want the world to list me as a number
I have a name and I am not a number
Write my name on my leg, Mama
When the bomb hits our house
When the walls crush our skulls and bones
our legs will tell our story, how
there was nowhere for us to run

Thanks for sharing this video. Chris is a saint navigating through our current living hell.
That talk literally brought me to tears, which I didn't think was possible anymore.
Thank you Chris Hedges for elbowing my humanity in the ribs.

Thank you Reverend and journalist Chris Hedges. You are a voice of sanity in a western world gone mad.
Your experience and clear thinking stands up to the challenge, which ultimately must be defeated.
Chris. Thanks. That’s the second time that letter’s brought forth tears. Fat lot of good they do.
Helpless to stop the barbarism. Bearing witness and refusing the lies to take hold is all that is left. Thank you for doing it so eloquently.
Beautifully written, well delivered.
I love how he connected the dots!!

WTF did the Palestinians THINK would happen?
