I've followed the work of Chris Hedges over many years - read most of his books - attended lectures, etc. I know where the man has been and what he has witnessed along the way.

I've followed the work of Chris Hedges over many years - read most of his books - attended lectures, etc. I know where the man has been and what he has witnessed along the way. I tip my hat to his integrity and courage - pray for his well-being and safety. I recall an observation he made a long time ago that stuck with me -- it is this: 'every decision we make has a moral imperative.' I feel that too. But never could I have imagined that on this day, in 2024, in this country, we would allow an active genocide - paid for by the US. Killing innocent people is and will always be 100% immoral. And - I sure as hell refuse to Vote for any of it or support those who do ! Thank you.
This is a devastating time I hoped would never arrive. We must focus on the solution. I suggest we start at the county and town levels and get those people engaged. We grow from there. But the base must be solid.
I know, for example, there are more than 100 agencies trying to shut down Sde Teiman, a torture camp run by Israel.
This is an opportunity to form a coalition geared towards peace.
We must foster the opportunity. And bring our Palestinean doctors, nurses, and staff to an international audience.
Good suggestions Veda. I would like to see (seeing is believing and makes the viewer feel sick and disgusted) more photo images of dead children and blood flowing as well as the testimony of Palestinian doctors and nurses who are expected to treat the injured without supplies or anesthesia.
I don't have the need or desire to influence these people, or for that matter, give them a listen because they are considered influencers by some. They are not an influence for me.

Tell that to the likes of major influences like Bill Kristol and Peter Berkowitz.

There is no greater influencer than the truth.
The spirit of truth to be more precise.
