Thank you for your post, I copied this quote; The former Prime Minister of Norway, Kaare Willoch, was a stark defender of Palestinian rights, and equally a strong critic of Israels’ illegal occupation. He said 20 years ago that no peace can ever come from negotiations between a lion on one side, and a lamb with four broken legs on the other. Peace and a free Palestinian state will come the day the West demands it of Israel – not through any negotiations.
Thank you, Leon! Allan N. Schwartz , who has sophisticated words like Moron in his vocabulary to bring to the debate, is a psycho therapy guy. And that is what the world needs more than anything now - a tidal wave of pshycologogs who can explain to us what in the world has gone wrong in the hearts and minds of all the people who support the genocide in Gaza. And then start helping them. But is there any hope of repairing these broken souls at all?
I also feel a lot of frustration and sadness over the tragedy that is happening Gaza. But there are some things that we must not forget. First is the fact that Hamas continues to hold hostages. In addition when Hamas invaded Israeli territory, they murdered babies and small children and women. In addition, they left as they murdered there was babies and children. There is no excuse for that in human behavior. Let us also not forget that many hostages have already died. That does not justify, the horrible deaths of Palestinians living in Gaza during this war. There is a lot of bitter irony about this whole thing that feeds my frustration. The fact is that Hamas terrorists hide in and underneath schools and hospitals and peoples homes and that is why so many Gazans have died. I also do not like the right wing government that is ruling Israel at this time. I noticed that one of my friends Derek commented on your post about the proposed cease-fire that you say is fake or a hoax. Many people like Derek do not understand what is really happening. The word Zion and Zionist mean the Jewish people returning to their homeland. It is not a dirty word and it is not a Nazi word. Jews have been hounded and persecuted in every nation around the world with the exception of north Central and south America. That is the reason why after World War II and even before World War II many Jewish leaders in Europe, got together and organized the idea of returning to the biblical homeland of the Jews or as in the Bible, the Hebrews. Derek makes an excellent point when he says, says that the people of Gaza and the people of the Westbank or fellow Semites. That only adds to the irony and bitterness and tragedy of the entire Middle East situation. So everybody has their criticisms mostly of the Israelis or should we say Jews of course but none of these people and I’m talking about world leaders, including those in Iran and elsewhere, come up with proposals that would be fair to everybody and would preserve the existence of Jews and Palestinians. By the way, it is thought or I should say it has been proposed that the Palestinian people are the lost Hebrew tribes that are converted to Islam. Studies have shown That genetically speaking, there is no difference between Palestinians and Jews. So I wish everyone would think in terms of real solutions. I submit these comments with complete respect to you to Derek and everybody else. And I’ve told Derek that he is not an anti-Semite. Let us all pray for a true peace. One more thing did you know that Allah is a variation of El which Elohim or God.
You clearly do not watch social media. Only mainstream media which is all highly censored ??? Why do you think students are so impassioned about this ? Because they follow social media. They have seen the atrocities , as have I. While you still believe the Israeli lies about babies being killed on 7th October. One baby was killed in crossfire, probably by the sniper of an IDF soldier. Have you read about the barbaric torture of Palestinians, the beheading of Palestinian doctors and children , the shooting of young children in the head by snipers belonging to IDF soldiers, the intentional wiping out of whole Palestinian families , the remains of children being carried round in body bags ? And much much more horror ? You clearly haven’t . Your comments are the comments of a person lacking any critical thinking . I suggest you read Johnathan Cook, Chris Hedges, watch electronic intifada on YouTube, and get to know someone on Instagram who has followed this whole horror show and has researched the history. Get them to show you all the video footage on their phones.

"First is the fact that Hamas continues to hold hostages. In addition when Hamas invaded Israeli territory, they murdered babies and small children and women. In addition, they left as they murdered there was babies and children."
+You may not agree, but those allegations have been widely debunked. The fact is that the nazisraeli state has been holding tens of thousands of hostages for decades, including many women and children, and have engaged in the torture and rape of these hostages - a fact that has been well established.
" The fact is that Hamas terrorists hide in and underneath schools and hospitals and peoples homes and that is why so many Gazans have died."
+ If that also-debunked and weak justification was ever true, there certainly hasn't been any concrete evidence presented, only unsubstantiated excuses. And it certainly hasn't been the case for most of the last 10+ months of indiscriminate bombing of schools, hospitals, homes, churches, medical personnel, clearly-marked press members, those delivering (in clearly-marked vehicles) food, medicine, supplies, and water; innocent men, women and children huddling under tents in areas to which they had been directed as 'safe zones', just for example.
-"The word Zion and Zionist mean the Jewish people returning to their homeland."
+The so-called Abraham Accords involved the massive theft and partitioning of Palestinian lands and the killing or forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian inhabitants of these lands who had no part in the planning or implementation of this brutal and cynical scheme. Subsequently, in the decades since, the nazisraeli state has subjected these victims to a brutally oppressive apartheid system which has evolved into genocidal bloodlust and the holocaust which is underway today.
These are some of the reasons why I was dismissive of your comments. Again, I should have taken the time to express my sentiments as such, recognizing that we both had opinions on the subject.

Brilliant post, Marianne. STOP THE BOMBING!!!!!

You are a moron
Are you serious about that comment? How is calling anyone a moron gonna bring about constructive dialogue? Auto-correct maybe?
Thank you, Kristin!
Sadly, shamefully, the bombing will stop only when the money stops!
Derek is known as the Dell boy

I suggest also that they read again Leon Brown Jr.’s reply to you which is all factual . Leon Brown has been educating himself . You have not .
Nicky, I appreciate your comment.

Begging never works. They are not going to stop until they are stopped. What we can't predict is the who, what, why and when.
Derek that I agree with
