There is absolutely no distinction between what is happening to the Palestinian population in Israel and what happened to the Jews with Hitler. Zionism is now Nazism. The once oppressed are now the oppressors with the full support of the US government. Especially the administration. The current president and the vice president are accomplices to a slaughter. America is a genocide enabler against the wishes of the majority of the citizenry. The Biden / Harris administration should be included in the war crimes warrants being issued by the ICC. This is now the USA in 2024. If you’re feeling joy and sending money to the Harris/Walz campaign, you are complicit in supporting genocide or totally deluded and uninformed. Never again is happening again.

"Zionism is now Nazism" You are more accurate than you may realize.

In 2015 the Sundance Film Festival screened an extraordinary & powerful film 'Censored Voices", director Mor Loushy. Here is an article in the NYTimes regarding the film. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/world/disillusioned-by-war-israeli-soldiers-muted-in-1967-are-given-fuller-voice.html

The documentary film showcases previously unaired admissions of brutal behavior by an earlier generation during the 1967 war. Based on interviews that the military heavily edited at the time, it includes accounts of Israelis summarily executing prisoners and evacuating Arab villages in a manner that one fighter likened to the Nazis’ treatment of European Jews.

It remindes me of a comment Harry Truman once made: "History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes." The director plays the tapes for the soldiers who were recorded. at the time. The fighters showed no joy, just pain. IMDB Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXSfVSDizG4

It is available on Amazon prime.

An important call for action:

Arrest Netanyahu at the United Nations

Friday, September 27 at 10:00 AM

On September 27, Benjamin Netanyahu is slated to come to New York and speak on the floor of the United Nations. The people of New York won't let a war criminal carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people peacefully walk the streets of our city. We say: arrest Netanyahu for genocide and crimes against humanity!

There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.

Please sign the petition and share widely.

Let us also support UNRWA. If our governments won’t act in accordance with humanity, then we will. https://www.unrwausa.org/donate

Also we can all support the brave doctors who have gone to Gaza: https://palestinian-ama.networkforgood.com/projects/206145-gaza-medical-supplies-oct-2023

Or

Surgeons to Gaza

Let us make our donations to honor Aaron Bushnell, in memory of Hind Rajab, or Dr Jumann Afra, the mother of newborn twins killed by Israel using US bombs.

Here’s a petition to excommunicate Joe Biden: https://www.change.org/p/excommunicate-president-joe-biden-bf979783-ac08-4576-a53f-c786ea23dc9c

These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.

There is nothing that will stop that fascist country from carrying out their genocide....

Assault of Jenin by the IDS should be addressed by US officials and declared unacceptable behavior. If it continues we should come to Jenin's defense. Minimally we need to stop our military aid. And if possible send in American troops to protect further assaults of this township. We must stop further genocide of the Palestinian people. Time to rein in the mad rabid dog called Isreal.

It just shows how weak and cowardly the Zionist/Israeli government is, and how ineffective their army has been. Blowing up hospitals? Keeping old people from getting dialysis? Bulldozing streets, that dangerous, Hamas asphalt? Israel is pitiful. Pitiful. How come all the right wing governments keep buying their weapon systems, seeing how badly they are getting beat? For that matter, how come they keep needing more and more weapons from us, when they are a major arms manufacturer themselves? I just wonder. It just seems like another Big Lie.

Mujahed al-Saadi and Sharif Abdel Kouddous are top-notch journalists and heroes--when it takes enormous courage to even be a true journalist. Sharif's new film is excellent, and haunting. Thank you for keeping us informed...May you always be blessed!

Thank you Mujahed al-Saadi and Sharif Abdel Kouddous for the excellent reporting. It is desperately needed so people understand that Netanyahu intends to turn the West Bank into another killing field. But please be careful. We don't want you to end up like so many other brave journalists working in Gaza and the West Bank!

Thanks so much, Jeremy, and Ryan! Your voices are needed now, more than ever. If we can't stop an ongoing genocide on our dollars, then, in all honesty, we cannot claim we are free.

Gaza may still be the most urgent issue, and we cannot turn our eyes from them, there is another horrific situation in the increasing settler violence and land confiscation in the West Bank, aka illegally Occupied Territory. There is an actual military invasion by Israel, with public officials threatening the same death and destruction as in Gaza. There are some, too few, organizations trying to help, although under these conditions, what can they do?

There are those inside Israel who stand for justice and humanity, made up of committed Israelis and Palestinians working together to protect the Palestinians.

I wouldn't be suprised if the Israelies started setting up

gas chambers saying they are showers for the Palestinians.

I was wondering the same...those people in Gaza would LOVE a shower.

A day is coming where the weight of the non-greedy non-evil world will come down on empire, and its terrorist proxies like Israel. May I live to see it and may the world survive its death throes.

This world desperately needs enough past civilization and uap disclosure to destroy Biblican "history," and the Abrahamic religions, forever.

LIVE | Israeli Hostages Speak In Hamas Captivity | Blast Netanyahu, Demand Deal With Hamas

6 dead hostages killed to keep Israel from rescuing them. Hamas can NOT let the IDF kill hundreds of Palestinians in order to grab one hostage. They are the only bargaining chips Hamas has......

Is journalism dead? If truth, timely reporting, documenting, vetting sources really mattered, would people read and react? I will say these reports are vital to this story of annihilation, if the end game is not certain. But in all honesty, the US Congress adores Netanyahu. Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich defy the UN and ignore Antony Blinken. If these words, these horrendous and unforgivable aggressions by Israeli occupiers mattered, humanity would stand against this. I am ashamed for America especially, yet still need to know there's hope. Thanks for this, Drop Site. Shalom
