Their precision have carefully targeted around 100 journalists, yet also 10,000 children. It's an obscenity what's happening there. Israel wants us to think it's complicated, but it's not really. Try reading beyond their giant propaganda machine.

Not propaganda. My mothers family were murdered in Nazi death camps. I lived in Israel between the War for Independence and Yom Kippur. I am 100% against anything “Netanyahu “ but people like you seem completely, so far afield of the truth that your talking points are meaningless. Read up, study, be compassionate. Try for one day!

Of the Holocaust is not propaganda and I have shed tears reading quite a few books and seeing movies. The propaganda I speak of is the Zionists terrible cruelty toward and dehumanization of the Palestinians, 750,000 of whom were forced from their homes. They are now subject to a terrible effort, financed by the US, to literally destroy them and their infrastructure. The Zionists believe their land and more belongs to them. Kids in school are indoctrinated to despise Palestinians and see them as animals. (Animals aren't treated well by people either.) Netanyahu's reign of terror with Biden's blessing is horrifying to many who are willing to see. All criticism of Israel is not antisemitic. The Holocaust does not give Israel permission to do the same thing to Palestine, which wasn't even involved in WW2. Many in Israel think their lives are worth more, that they are blessed by God. I know I can't convince you. Zionists have zero compassion for anyone but themselves.

Meant to say Of course the Holocaust is not propaganda.

Sorry/not sorry — the way you are using the term "Zionists" smacks of antisemitism. Callin' it as I see it. Wise up, Lisa — you can be/do better!

I also find Lisa's use of the term "Zionist" offensive and downright wrong. All that it means to be Zionist is to support the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. It says nothing about compassion, lack of it, position on the right/left spectrum, support or not for a two-state solution, support or not for settlements, positions on the war with Hamas, etc. Oh, and by the way, Palestinian leadership WAS at least a bit involved in WW2. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a friend of Heinrich Himmler and helped create an SS unit of Yugoslavs, mainly Muslim, called the Handschar. There is a telegram from Himmler to the Grand Mufti expressing thanks for his role in the struggle against World Jewry.

I'm heartened someone sees thru their BS. Their propoganda machine is formidable. Bibi is sabotaging Joe's reelection not only by a 'genocidal' type warfare but by now expanding war ....now the US will provide Israel with more weapons for this catastrophe & turn world against us? Joe was led into a trap by another of the world's anti Democratic authoritarians.

True, but he's really ok with it as the article says. Trump would do the same. Some Zionist group is giving him an award for being Israel's greatest friend, but it seems like Biden should be getting it too. I really wish Biden would not run again. I don't think it's too late if he did it right now. As far as seeing the truth, I'm actually surprised more Liberals still seem to not want to criticize Israel's actions, even some people who are on social media. Boomers, like me, aren't as awakened as I would wish.
