  1. Enough is enough w see all are immigrants untortunley our parent we able to integrate yet remember place off birth Perphaps the left have tried to rush integration possibly so we all start cival war. Pls enough is enough I'm voting reform 1 qlr and hmp strange ways this country is worth fighting for

  2. So the civilian Palestinians protesting against hamas to stop shooting rockets into Isreal and lay down there arms, get hand cuffed and taken away, then hamas just happens to find a mass grave w/ civilians blindfolded with hands tied doesn't sound a bit sus… lol people it's hamas mo, trademark ® and to think otherwise shows you're lack of intelligence 😮😅

  3. I have never in my dreams to see this kind of genocide by a very tiny country to do onto another in front of the world openly . Worse still in spite of ICJ rulings continue to do so pretending it is winning the war (when it actually has lost the war on the ground) .

    Another disappointment we see major countries like China and Russia etc just do not or cannot do anything other than empty protests and noise .

    It is just bewildering.
    sad… really sad.

  4. I'm sure glad that Amy is relying on labels like "far right" when describing Marine Le Pen. Now I am able to see things about Le Pen in a properly focused lens that's been provided by Democracy Now. Establishment (CIA, Ford Foundation) based labels cognitive distortions are such a big help for me to have a more clear perception of reality. Thanks Amy.

  5. Shocker, more IDF war crimes, this ends when the world stands up. We need to stop using the word war, a war is between two matched forces, this is an army against women and children…..its disgusting

  6. Genocide cannot create a safe future for Israeli perpetrators or their descendants: in the Balkans, in which Turks committed atrocities centuries ago, decades of vengeance against descendants (e.g., in Bosnia) made them dead or flee to Turkey!

    All the Middle East populations are furious at us for enabling Israel's Gaza genocide of tens of thousands of children (after ALL the bodies–including those NOW DYING under the rubble–are counted)! The late US servicemen (from the abused poor) were sadly vulnerable: abused as FREE security guards for the rich's multinational oil companies' facilities, selling oil to China and the EU. We also spend billions to guard the ships of the RICH for FREE from Houthies!

    IDF false flag attack? Like the bombing during an IRG funeral in Iran ("coincidentally" right after Israel was charged with genocide) this was also a very "convenient" attack for Netanyahu, as The Onion implied as to 10/7, given how Netanyahu enabled 10/7 by lowering IDF guards—which convenient, 10/7 attack was also "coincidentally" known months ahead of time by Israel!

    War with Iran for aiding Houthies? (By more "Iraqi WMD"-like lies?!) Good thing that the USA did not get attacked for all the evil acts by "our" murderers, e.g., the gen0cid@l IDF, we funded for decades!!

    Who benefits from a US-Iran war (for a "greater Israel" –previously planned)? Read about ALSO faked, WW II, FALSE flag attacks by Nazis: claimed to be "by Poland!"

    When Netanyahu was in trouble years ago, he had his ally go into a big mosque in Jerusalem to also stir up anger; foreseeably, the resulting Palestinian protests were ALSO so "convenient" for him-to avoid prison for his many crimes- just like Trump is ALSO avoiding prison, by running for president!

    Yt censors criticism of Israel's ongoing genocide: by STILL bombing and denying little, Palestinian children, innocent women, and innocent men potable water, food, medicine, and (by blowing up all Gaza hospitals, first responder, rescue teams, and ambulances) medical treatment.

    We live in Orwell's "1984:" the  rich intimidate us, spy on us, censor our opinions, deceive us to get us to wage wars for them (e.g., via NYT, CNN, and WSJ), and punish our merely opposing genocide. Per 'The Lever" and Amos Barshad, AIPAC donors gave about $80 million to AIPAC, which it can then pay to politicrooks; the politicrooks will "coincidentally" gift over $10,000 millions ($10 billion) of our, US taxpayers', funds to Israel! Could Muslim countries not bribe US politicrooks to get a profit of over 100 times their bribe money?

    The RACIST rich run government for the SOLE benefit of their rich cronies—with bribed politicians' tax loopholes used by the rich (foreign trusts) to NOT pay taxes. Watch "Britain's Second Empire: The Spider's Web" as to the US/UK rich's TRILLIONS in tax avoidance. Read Gizmodo as to Apple avoiding $50 billion in taxes! Read "The quiet coup" by Simon Johnson! Read "Trump's tax cuts helped super-rich pay lower rate than bottom 50%…" in Newsweek! Trump LIED to cut taxes for rich cronies!

    Read, due to Trump, "How the Wealthiest Americans Pay Less Tax than their secretaries…" In MSN! DOZENS MORE TAX LOOPHOLES are FOR THE EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF THE RICH: e.g., using faked "charitable" trusts that benefit their heirs. Read, e.g., about crook-Trump's fake "charitable" trust! They hire cute "assistants"/"secretaries" for sex but deduct their wages, so prostitution payments are tax deductible!

    BRIBED EU, UK, and US politicians enable Israel's genocide for enough $$$$! Billions in US funding for the IDF's genocide of Palestinian children paid for by millions in secret BRIBES! 

    BRIBED US and EU politicrooks cut funding to UNRWA: so all Palestinian infants, innocent women, and innocent men must now move out of Gaza (so Israel can grab Gaza's gas and oil) OR DIE BY STARVATION!

    WHY are we, Christians, funding IDF murderers! Read John: 8:40 to 56. STOP, YOU pro-genocide, Israeli apartheid supporters or YOU WILL BURN in HELL! Read the gospels: your BRIBED ministers LIED! (Germany helps Israel kill all Palestinians due to its own genocide: kids are dying due to Sholtz's enabling Israel's genocide!)

    CAN we gift Israel MORE TRILLIONS?? Since their malls, office buildings, residential housing, derivatives, and other GAMBLES by their banks are tanking, the rich demand MORE bail outs for their casino-like-banks–AGAIN! MORE free-money for the RICH??? (Their (privately-owned) misnamed "Federal" Reserve gave them $16 TRILLION per Fed audit!)

    The US had liabilities of OVER $210 TRILLION years ago per Forbes! $500 TRILLION, NOW, after inflation? Require the rich to sell their broke, worthless banks for $3.00 each to the Social Security Administration–after audits find most are legally INSOLVENT: e.g., worthless–without MORE government bailouts!

    MSN: half of American banks were ALREADY insolvent months ago on 5/2. How many now like SVB? 98%?

    YELL NO!! NO to more welfare for the ultra rich!!!

    Also, stop the many BILLIONS gifted by BRIBED US/EU politicians EACH YEAR in genocide-aid to Israel, to end its genocide, and ALSO cut off the bribed Middle East dictators we fund!

    Write your congress persons! ALSO, urge them to make the US BOYCOTT apartheid Israel until it allows ALL Palestinians to vote in Israel's  apartheid, FAKE "democratic"  elections, so the Israelis will stop their genocide and apartheid, e.g. their sterilizing Ethiopian Jews in Israel to keep Israel a WHITE, racist, European-apartheid colony!

    BEWARE of lies to provoke a US-Iran war: so US taxpayers will pay and US soldiers die to conquer a "Greater Israel," including Lebanon, Iraq , and Syria, by more genocides! SAY NO to more genocides and invasions paid for by TRILLIONS of our taxes! Arm Ukraine and Taiwan instead —to deter a nuclear war!

  7. Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979.
    In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated….."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity.

    Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated…..
    …..we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots – whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs.

  8. I dont like trump at all but he wont have immunity for the things he did.which is nothin in comparison to what biden has done. Biden is the worst president eva you really need to start lookin at younger candidates as all the others are dinosaurs except sanders hes okay

  9. Any person on the left that would vote for Trump as though it would make anything better for the Palestinians is suffering from extreme brain damage.
