First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the anti-war activists, and I did not speak out-because I was not an anti-war activist Then they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Muslim. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.

Humans have been exhorted time and again through scripture, philosophy, and the like to stand up for themselves and others (including animals, insects, and plants) according to universal moral laws of righteousness and justice at the very least if they can’t find it in their hearts to love others. Religious persuasion has nothing to do with it….. So how do the nations of the world at this point in time measure up against this standard? I have respect and high praise in this respect for China, Russia, Iran, and Syria, who are guided by principle…. That is not to say, of course, that other countries won’t follow their example now that an alternative to the deadly oppressiveness of Zionism has presented itself to our hitherto traumatised world…. If moreover Israel annexes the Gaza Strip and West Bank, that places it all the closer to the rest of its neighbours. Nations upon which Zionism has predatory designs that it will carry out steadily all in good time if its march towards world enslavement and domination proceeds unimpeded…. The Israelis themselves have said that the wholesale Arab Gulf sellout of the Palestinians via the Abraham Accords is what has paved the way for annexation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank…. Here it is: www.mei.edu/publications/gulf-regimes-may-oppose-annexation-they-helped-bring-it-about And I think we can all agree that it has strengthened Israel and weakened them…. Those who have found it immediately expedient to form dangerous pacts with proven devils don’t know the first thing about the workings of Providence. And who will ever truly trust them? I for one won’t ever have anything to do with them and would invest my wealth and energies on nations with wholesome values…. And what of their posterity? So, who’s next, Egypt or Jordan? And don’t those two countries border Saudi Arabia?

[@empireoflightz]

No you're right, it's never going to happen that Hamas would put down its weapons, but the fact it has so much strength and weapons and people and supporters in the first place is because my country (Israel) hasn't given the Palestinian people a viable alternative! If there was, such an evil terrorist organisation would never have the support it does and it would've never managed to achieve what it did to start this conflict. A different Palestinian party/organisation would gain support and they would overthrow Hamas. But instead we have shown the people of Gaza what happens if they support a government (like the PA) that tries to pursue peaceful relations with Israel - they simply become even more occupied, more oppressed, more hopeless in their quest for independence. So what motivation do they have to choose a different path and resist Hamas?

And how little the media mentions not only that Israel helped create Hamas, but that Netanyahu was letting significant money come to them, through Qatar~~ I imjagine so that they could "succeed" just enough to remain supported by Gazans......and keep Palestinians divided.

[@mililani6037]

The scenario of people largely of fake He- brew blood ( descendants of Abraham ), armed with myth and a religious book, displacing in the name of "return" the people genetically best representing original Judeans, is irony of colossal proportion Many Palestinians could have more of the original tribal "Jewish blood" than do the Eastern European / Eurasian converts that now oppress them Few rural Jewish farmers were ever "driven into exile" and may well have converted to Islam centuries ago to keep their farms, and to keep his/her family from scattering into abject poverty and/or homelessness in the wilderness, either of which could have been literally life-threatening.

The two-state solution is dead in my understanding and it seems that the Palestinian people may be on the verge of extinction. They have no place to live and nowhere to go and this war will reduce them further, Unfashionable victims as you say

[@LuisAldamiz]

Israel will be defeated, although there is indeed such a strong risk of mass genocide (the Zionists are determined but lack the means and the popular support), they will almost certainly fail again and the resulting reaction will be their doom. Remember: the US Empire is collapsing as we speak, it may not be apparent at all times but this is very much like the last days of gerontocratic Brezhnevite USSR. Details are different but the overall process is the same and it is unfolding this very decade.

That is such a strong and heartfelt statement, Yanis, and I couldn't agree more. Where have they forgotten that these people are human beings? Where have they dismissed the fact that there is room for all civilians on the planet to co exist? Power, in the extreme, overrides all human suffering. I will stand with those suffering as the western governments do not. Words in speeches from leaders are just words, and they have no meaning. Their words are empty, as their bank accounts are full, while blood stains the earth of Palestine for years to come.

[@naomigreen2147]

I'm commenting for the algorithm. Everyone should hear this. If Western nations such as the UK (where I'm from) are to be the defenders of human rights we claim to be, then we should take Armenians, Yemenis and Palestinians as seriously as we do for Ukrainians, and Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and Israel should be as banned from major international events as Russia. It depresses and angers me that Formula1, MotoGP, FIFA, World Rugby and Eurovision will fail to ban these countries, like they've all done with Russia. And I have to say this, Britain and America should also be banned, for their being complicit in war crimes for the second time this century. Geopolitics, and "world leaders," have so much evil and suffering to answer for.

[@ronaldraygun3386]

Hogwash. There is nothing "fashionable" about acknowledging the difference between Ukraininans and Palestinians in Gaza: Ukraininians didn't send rockets and perform atrocious terror attacks to Russian civilians in Russia, to which Russia would have reacted by invading Ukraine. No, Russia performed a totally unprovoked attack to Ukraine, already back when it invaded the Crimea. Palestinians, on the other hand, have always performed lots of terror attacks against jews and Israelis, already long before 1948 when the Israel state was formed. PLO and Fatah (which back then was a terrorist organization) were established long before the 1967 war, back when Gaza was illegally occupied by Egypt, and West Back was illegally occupied by Jordania. How come the Palestinians didn't mind Egypt and Jordania occupying the palestinian lands before 1968? Because it is not about Gaza or West Bank at all; it has always been with the muslim world not accepting ANY kind of jewish state in the middle East, even though 700.000 jews fled from various arab countries and Iran to Israel e.g. during 1948-1950 and later. Palestinians and arabs are the main reason there is no peace in the area. They've been offered a two-state solution several times in history, which they have all declined, while jews/israelis accepted each proposal.

The Palestinians in Gaza haven't had an election since 2006 and over 50% of the population are children with 90% of them suffering from PTSD and 70% are under 30, therefore the majority didn't vote for Hamas.
