True, but almost unbearable to listen to. Not only unbearable to listen to the horrors Israel is implementing on Gaza, but the US's complicity in it, and the relative indifference of the world, as well as the people of Israel. Where are they?

"Pope Francis has called for an investigation to determine whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, tackling the issue for the first time in excerpts from an upcoming book."

“According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide,” the pope said in excerpts published on Sunday by the Italian daily La Stampa.

"Israel’s embassy to the Vatican responded later on Sunday with a post on X, quoting its Ambassador, Yaron Sideman."

“There was a genocidal massacre on 7 October 2023 of Israeli citizens, and since then, Israel has exercised its right of self-defence against attempts from seven different fronts to kill its citizens,” said the statement.

“Any attempt to call it by any other name is singling out the Jewish State.”

He actually has the nerve to say to the world the killings that happened on Oct 7, by Hamas, was a genocidal massacre, absurd, and then dismiss the actual massacre the Israeli's are carrying out in Gaza which reflects his absolute disdain for Palestinian life and his contempt for the Pope and the intelligence of people on a world wide level. I hope the Pope kicks his ass out, since he is too loathsome for his job.

Jets do not fly by themselves, yet. And they do not drop bombs without human participation, yet. The involvement of the American government (which is comprised of human beings who are responsible for their own actions) is evil. The whole thing is evil. And now Netanyahu is being hunted in his own "country". It is essential this pariah state be completely shunned and isolated. Eventually, after it collapses in on itself, the rest of the world will have to decide what to do with its survivors as they flee. Do we welcome them here? That would be very hard for me to do, even though many of them were born here.

More to the point, the President-Elect is taking his orders from Zionist billionaires in the U.S. regarding who to appoint to his Cabinet. The most direct action we can take is recovering our government from the influence of private money. If that is possible. And perhaps those among us who support Israel need to be shunned and boycotted as well.

It's been obvious since 1967 what they were going to do with the Occupied Territories. The occupation was found to be illegal by the UN when I was in elementary school. There's no excuse for this. Fortunately not all Palestinians live in Palestine. One day, soon, they will return to the entirety of Palestine. But I cannot forget the remarkable beauty and genius of a people that used to be in evidence throughout Gaza,

We cannot allow our country do the same thing to the rest of the Middle East, as the current deep state wishes to do.
