The brutality and disregard for human life we are witnessing is enough to make anyone fear for the future of humanity. That’s one reason why I feel so grateful for the work of activists challenging militarism. Previous generations worked to expose corruption and repudiate it, just like those continuing that struggle today. The action that shut down a Lockheed Martin facility in California this week--21 years to the month after we did so following the invasion of Iraq --offers a poignant example of that continuity. https://shahidbuttar.substack.com/p/history-might-not-repeat-but-it-certainly

The last Hamas fighter will be in the last refugee camp giving the IDF the excuse to kill the last Palestinians ☠️

Chris this is incredibly sad. I'm glad you posted the story of Amr because it helps personalize the slaughter of innocent, promising, intelligent, loving people. What a waste of opportunity, not to mention cruel. Keep talking Chris. It is painful but these stories have to be told.

It would be best if all this wrongly programmed mammal was completely gone. But, by the time that happens, we will have extinguished most of the perfect life on this planet. Seas polluted. bees and bats not existing. It will be a pretty disgusting scene of billionaires living with their families in bubbles. Who would want to live with family??? Very Sci-fi ending.

If the future is more of the present, extinction is guaranteed. For a little while we still have the potential to avoid complete destruction but the decision makers will need to change drastically. Unfortunately, the fossilized political system will not allow it.

What a tragic criuel and senseless loss of this beautiful young man. We are witnessing the staggering brutality of israel towards the Palestinians, Israel with a government of right wing messianic supremacists with no regard for Palestinian life, in contempt of international law. The long impunity granted to israel by the US, Europe, has created this monster, now trying to ignite regional war. The US must stop supporting this genocide, stop supporting the current israeli right wing extremist govenment, which has no interest in peace or justice. Six months of this nightmare, unprecedented death of civilians and devastation - imagine if this was being doe to israel, how the world would react? International law is supposed to protect everyone

PITA has made it his/her/its business to repost the same excrement every time Chris Hedges posts something. It is not worth the time it takes to read. Much less to respond. Any response only gives him/her/it encouragement.

I do not intend to debate words like independent, progressive, liberal or conservative. I am focused on reading and listening to the stories Chris crafts. Which part of this particular article did you find offensive? It seem to have triggered a mini meltdown on your part.

Talk to anybody who attends a Christ the King church about this genocide and you get the same bullshit reply that Hamas started it on Oct.7th. And that it's Israel's land, they are the chosen ones, etc etc. Well fuck that church and you, sir, as well. WTF is YOUR problem.
