A riveting film. I couldn't bring myself to watch it in its entirety on AJ. I watched some of what happened to poor Hind.

Can you comment on the connection with the natural gas resources and using this war as cover? I read this somewhere. Thank you for your service.

Jeremy, thank you so much for showing this film and for having Laila and Sharif join you for comments and discussion. The Western media's silence on Israel's genocide in Gaza, the beginning of genocide in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and its silence as Palestinian journalists have been and are being slaughtered, is an outrage. Too much of the Western media is devoted simply to PR work on behalf of those with power, not to honest journalism.

Thank you also for speaking briefly about the coming election, and the importance of following one's heart and one's conscience.

So much appreciation for all of those journalists that risk and have given their lives so the truth can be seen for those that are looking and to make it harder for those in power to cover up the horrors of these crimes.

Hello Jeremy, I recently watched your interview with Hasan about South Africa's Genocide case from May. In it you talked about the importance of reading news from NYT, WSJ, WP, and Financial Times in order to understand the views of the powerful, how the powerful opperate, and the rules of the game. What resources beyond Manufacturing Consent would you recomend to learn how to learn these skills?

Yes, many, many thanks. With my heart hurting I remain ever so grateful for the three of you as well as all the courageous journalists that keep us informed so we can help to increase awareness about the ongoing atrocity and do whatever we can to hold those responsible accountable.

Hello American panelists,

In your estimation, what is the best strategy as citizens here to get the US to stop supporting this genocide?

So much courage and faith. I cried for the Israel I knew growing up, and sobbed for those mothers and fathers, families, that have lost everything but their hearts. It was a tough film to watch. I wish it were enough to transform the US Congress, our feckless leaders. but I have little hope. They are all blinded by ignorance and cash. Thank you, Drop Site, and the brilliant creative producers.

For Jeremy and his colleagues at Drop Site, particularly Ryan Grim. How do journalists (not “reporters” or news readers) sit through a US Government briefing without just walking out. The spokespeople’s mere presence at the podium is an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

How much would it cost to put this on network TV in prime time? I can't imagine the general public could get through this and be OK with it. I feel like we spend a lot of time talking about the holocaust and how "there is no way we would ever let that happen," and "no way we would just sit by and not try and stop it." But here we are. What more can be done to bring this to everyone?

This is so sad. Here in America Harris talks "two state solution". But we know that's never going to happen. We know it's a lie, we've been lied to for years.

So what can Americans do? How can we stand up to the system that's got its boot on our necks while telling us they're helping?

Currently, there's a disgusting mockumetary at local theatres from a far right christo-fascist called "Am I Racist" It depresses me to no end that such hateful vile and false garbage gets spread around like this. My question is, is there any way we can help make this documentary get such a release in theatres? Can we counter all this hate and misinformation with this? What can we do to help?

Any chance PBS would broadcast this film? Has it been approached? It is clearly within its mission.
