The situation has only become more brutal for Gaza, but more people around the world than ever before see through the bullsht. Justice for Gaza, end the occupation!

[@JoeTakagi00]

Agreed. I have been learning a lot more about the situation than previously

[@Yosef9438]

I started playing a Chomsky playlist on KZbin to keep my dog relaxed while at work. His even, deep tone are really comforting to her. It also had the unintended side effect of genius and she's now working on her dissertation on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The working title is "Throw a Dog a Bone Already".

I am so thankful for Noam Chomsky.

And here we go again in 2023, only worse….. is this ever going to change, given the US government’s unconditional and massive political and military support to Israel? It is heartbreaking.

Microscopic Israel - The size of New Jersey The Palestinians elected the terror group Hamas to govern & represent them in Gaza At several locations the distance between THE Mediterranean Sea & the West Bank is approx 20 kilometers Hamas’ radically religiously indoctrinated ’Soldiers of Allah’ can target passenger jets landing & taking of from Israeli only International Ben Gurion airport at will. Nice… 3 Israeli prime ministers offered the Palestinian Authority %97 of the West Bank & East Jerusalem as capitol. They flatly refused. Even to negotiate. EU, UN, US & Arab countries donated 70 billion dollars to the Palestinians thus far. Where is the money? New infrastructure? New hospitals? Job opportunities? New schools? Massage parlols? Ice cream boutiques? Universities? New housing projects? … Endemic & pandemic corruption on demonic & surreal steroids!

We are guilty of not having an interest in what happens in the world. We are guilty of deferring world issues to elected officials and the media is guilty for reporting world news with a subjective narrative to drive public support back to the very leaders that helped create these problems.

[@johnchambers930]

So exciting that Mr Chomsky pumped up on KZbin today. There's so much to unravel. So the US is not a proper part of the UN doesn't agree with the other countries so that's bad but the UN created the state of Israel you don't agree with the you went there I guess you blame Israel for all of I thought you were some intellectual and you understood history at least. The history of anti-zionism is long and old. Israel has been attacked so much by the Muslim states surrounding them it would be a little hard to ignore for anyone. Sarah put upon society by the muslims. In this un that sometimes you agree with and sometimes you don't has never protected Israel even though they created the Israeli state. Israel has been on its own to protect itself now we support them a bit not really as much as we should but now this is what we've got. Someone has given them the ability to make a lot of tunnels and that's just what they did with the sole purpose of trying to destroy israel. Gee those are the kind of movies you want to have next to you huh Mr chomsky? You genius you. By the way that's a very overused word. So you like the un and you don't like the un. Intellectual schizophrenia. My diagnosis for you. The only way Israel is going to survive is to destroy its enemies and it has come the time to do that. There's no talking piece to the Palestinians Iran Lebanese or really anyone else in the area. That's been tried so many times. So you really don't have any solution for anything. You just like to play the spoiler. If you think a two-state solution will keep the Muslims off of Israel then you haven't studied the history of it. They want Israel's lean back even though much of it was paid for. Got to study that history there. No we don't want to be part of the international Court well there's many treaties that we are part of many. They're just trying to stay out of the politics would you so conveniently skip over like the Communist takeover of Central America. Look for what communism did 4 cuba. Really great standard of living there. but getting back to the world Court why would we want to join. In Vietnam we could have bombed North Vietnam flat absolutely flat. We had the ability but we didn't do it if it was world war II we probably would have done it. So that's where we have some sort of self-control over our power. But we really should have bought them flat even though they took on China after us and he beat China back which was pretty cool. If we're going to stop wars we have to get rid of clowns like you not listen to all the nonsense you say cuz it doesn't get us to a solution. You have as many twisted lies as any crooked politician. You're the equivalent of the intellectual shity talk show host. You need to study history in a lot more detail and understand it.

[@MariaM-fu6wm]

There's no irony once you understand that not all Jews support Zionism. That many Jews are very critical about the illegality of the actions of certain countries that pretend their support for Israel, when they only want to secure military and commercial strategic points.

[@nickjanecke6688]

Israel does a lot of fucked up stuff (much like the US) so….are people not justified in feeling hostile? Are we going to pretend that the Israeli government is full of saints? As an American myself I don’t begrudge anyone feeling disdain or even hatred towards the US, given all of the horrible things our government and military has done around the world.

[@ziggystardust6969]

I wonder why he didn’t mention the 5 times Israel made offers to give the Arabs land or the famous 3 “no’s”.

You should expand on that by citing the places and times. That way those of us who are interested can look them up.

The offer: no power, no right of return, no military. Meanwhile Likud specifies in its charter that all of Palestine belongs to Israel. We know the truth.
