For what it is worth, you have my support, respect and admiration. You are doing a fabulous job. If you weren't they bastards would not bother to sue you. Anxiety sucks. I've had it too. Meditation and visualizations help me. All the best to you.

Hey Jim, the Roosevelt quote is a doozy. You can hang your hat on that and take some real comfort when you look at yourself in the mirror. In the end, we all have to live with ourselves. This reader is extremely grateful you didn't become a shrinking violet. Upward, my friend. :)

Interesting article,

And the emotions you mention are not just in the USA, they are world wide. I live on an Island off another Island, I am distant, compared to most people. and yet I feel what is going on around the world emotionaly . I have students in their late teens and early twenties, who are well in touch with Israel's slaughter of children. and feel depressed because of it. Never has politics been so real in my lifetime. Now we are winessing, every day, a virtual holocaust. more terrifying than the last, why?because of its systemic murder of children, jounalists , doctors , nurses , anyone non Jewish basically. bombing and incinerating family's in their tents,

Starving people. and shooting them when they try to get food. Terriying everyone , Aid flotilla's.

But importantly, the murder of tens of thousands of children, Targeted in the head one day , in the genitals the next, In the chest the next day, and so on. So much so that some one has to be ordereing their deaths and how it was to be done on each day. That is terrifying to anyone looking into this massacre from any angle anywhere in the world., It means that the Jews have no limits. will stop at nothing , Will murder your children first, in front of your eyes, and then kill you.

For profit. Non of their neighbours are safe , as we have seen in the last month or so.

They want some of everyones land, or they will kill you, with your children first, while you watch.

The message is clear, You are worthless. Jews are gods chosen ones.

They wrote that into the book.

And so they behave like gods,

Hi Laurie, I share your views on what can only be called a genocide in Gaza. It's unbearable to not be able to stop it, to protect civilians, children, women, elders. The world can't enforce laws, can't influence the present Israeli government under Netanyahu...the world is helpless against psychopathic dictators with huge armies and giant war machines, and it's unbearable.

Hi Madeline, I agree wholeheartedly with most of what you have written.

The only point that I would like to discuss is that I don’t believe the world is helpless against psychopathic dictators-especially Netanyahu. It is my contention that America has aided and abetted Netanyahu in the ongoing genocide he has perpetuated. Genocides happen when nations and people close their eyes and, indeed, become complicit.

I agree, completely,Maura. I think I wrote that any and everyone who supports the Netanyahu government‘s policies are complicit in what’s happening in Gaza, including the succeeding governments of the United States. Exactly… And my point is that it doesn’t seem as if the United Nations or any other coalition of countries has been able to affect Netanyahu or get him arrested and tried in the Hague. I’m just describing what feels like helplessness, subjectively. I’m not saying it’s objectively true that we are helpless. I’m just saying that not enough of people who have influence are using that influence to stop this massacre. I hope that helps to explain my position but thank you so much for writing. I really appreciate it.

I would differ with only one perspective ... It isn't "Jews" as a whole who are doing this to the Palestinian people. It's anyone who supports the Netanyahu government's policies regarding Gaza. That includes Christians in Israel, America, and elsewhere.

A huge percentage of Israeli Jews have been demonstrating strongly AGAINST Netanyahu and this unimaginable violence against Palestinians every week since it began, even while tending to their own fear and broken hearts over the pogrom that Hamas unleashed against civilians on Oct. 7th. American Jews, even though they are only about 1.5% of the U.S. population, have been strong in their denunciation of this atrocity, and Bernie Sanders, a Senator who is Jewish, has continuously led the fight to end U.S. support for Netanyahu's genocide.

It's understandable that you would fixate on"Jews," because mistaken generalizations like this occur frequently, and most of that portion of Israelis who support Netanyahu's horrendous policy are probably Jewish. But generalizations of all kinds are inexact, incorrect, and usually uninformed. They also harm members of the group that's being generalized about, oftentimes leading to violence against innocents.

I'm pretty sure you didn't meant to perpetuate that kind of behavior. Thanks for listening...

A virtual holocaust? More terrifying than the last?

6 million souls perished in the “last” holocaust, as you put it.

While I believe a genocide has been perpetrated on the people of Gaza, I blame the fascist regime of Netanyahu and his cronies.I also feel that the countries that allowed it to happen without intervention, are complicit. That very much includes America.

To blame Jews in general is racist and uninformed.

I suggest that you read the history of the Holocaust that happened during World War II and also the history of the history of Palestine and Israel.

Your portrayal of "Jews" is extremely offensive, paints with a very broad brush, and shows your lack of complete and accurate information. Othering them as "They". Do you even know any Jews? Parts of your screed seem to describe the activity of October 7th, which you conveniently leave out. "And so they behave like gods" WTF? Have you spoken up equally about Sudan? Myanmar? People like you are hypocrites, and your hatred of Jews is monstrous. "They want some of everyones (sic) land, or they will kill you, with your children first, while you watch" 😳😳😳

Please seek help for your twisted hatred.

Frankly, I couldn’t care less who you have worked with all your life. Racist comments are racist comments.

I stand by what I have written. I blame the fascist government of Netanyahu. I also said that I believe that a genocide was perpetrated upon the people of Gaza. Any country that did not offer aid to Gaza is also complicit.

I don’t think you understand who I mean by Netanyahu, nor do you seem to understand the word genocide.

That word has been cheapened and thrown about like popcorn. Using "Genocide" in this way is also a slur against the Holocaust.

Realy I agree with you on Netanyahu .He's a child murderer.

And I fully understand what I;m talking about. I've been commenting probably since before you were born , and I had an IQ in the top 3% when I was 40. I dontknow what it is now at 82.

So I have a good understanding of most things. Have a look at my web site.

I left school at 13 I had no formal education . I'm self taught.

I learned the hard way , On the streets. so I had to learn to survive.

Its a pity that the 18% of jews in Israel that dont want all palestinians dead, are dragged into it. I have no idea what the diaspora thinks, I'm living on an Island off another Island, I am very isolated from my Jewish friends now.

They dont speak to me anymore because I side with Gaza.

I know what a holocaust is also, I had that pumped into me for 60 years. thats when people are burnt , vaporised, by incindiary weapons. Thats children vaporised, aid workers vaporised. It doesnt need a furnace and chiminy.

Jounalists murderd. So this massacre in Gaza is a holocaust on top of a genocide, No argument there.

It is not a war, either, It is a massacre.

Thats well accepted now, If you havent noticed.

I just wish Jews wouldnt lie so much. I'm over it. I cant believe anything Netanyahu says. Niether can a lot of people. He's a F**CN liar.

Not all Jews though. That is one of the mindtraps they have us in! It is the Zionists, formed in 1898 by Theodor Herzl, and their corporate partners, who are also our right wing's partners here in America. They align with America's Evangelical Zionists like Tom Cotton, Catholic fascists like Marco Rubio and Brett Cavanaugh, and Democrats like Jared Moskowitz and Chuck Schumer. The "founding" of Israel in Palestine in 1948, same year of "founding" of apartheid South Africa, was genocidal from the start with Nabka.

Really good column today! I've been working on an essay on terrorism that takes the word 'terror' back to its Indo-European root tre-, which meant 'to tremble', “to shake with fear.” From this root developed the Latin verb terrēre (“to frighten, to cause to tremble”), which in turn produced terror (“great fear, dread, alarm”). The sense of trembling—an involuntary bodily reaction—remained central: terror was not merely fear as an idea, but fear as something that seizes the body, making it shudder. This is not the terrorism of violence, but the terrorism of pure intimidation. It is terrorism absent any ideology except the ideology of power. This is the state of terrorism that has come to America-- not through Antifa, but through the craft of Project 2025 and the denizens of the Trump regime.

All so true. Resilience is going to be painful for both the critics and the doers. Thank you for your service.

On another front, isn't The Gathering a perfectly organized opportunity for a false flag event of some sort? Think a bomb, a rifle shot aspiration a la J Kennedy with a Ruby followup, or even some sort of food poisoning. Anything to justify martial law and cancelled elections. ???

Trump declared antifa a terrorist organization. Interesting. All of our parents and grandparents who fought in WWll were terrorists who were sent to fight Hitler by a terrorist American government. This also means that Trump is turning the US into a fascist regime on purpose. I guess he wants to be just like Hitler.
