The only idea I have is to focus on the influence of AIPAC in our elections. Demand every candidate publicly disclose if they take money from them. Make no contributions otherwise.

In fact the list is or was public google it. Demand answers about support for genocide in Gaza in every candidate forum especially from Democrats. This is my personal plan

I’m hoping the Houthi’s and Hezbollah are gonna take care of business

Thank you Jonathon. Sickened and nauseous to read each of your points, so well elucidated.

Also sickened by some of the apologists for genocide in the comments below, and how some of these apologists prefer to use terms of abuse in lieu of arguments.

Sickened and troubled by the knowledge that your analysis seems pretty accurate.

Thankyou also for making your journalism free. It's important reporting and analysis you are doing.

There are reasons why Iran gave a terrific fireworks display, but got three through. With 4 hours notice. And allies having to work

There’s reasons why hezbolah have barely assisted the 4 and more groups in and around Palestine.

There’s reasons why the shipping lanes are messed up because of drones

There’s reasons why Iran spent 2 million on munitions and Israel/allies spent 3 billion

There’s reasons why ALL the people of Muslim countries have had the largest protests/practice martial king ever seen.

There’s reasons why Israel has been given enough rope.

There’s reasons why alAqsa Mosque last night RANG OUT IN THUNDER, VOICES RAISED AS THE SEA CRASHING IN, BREAKING THE ROCK ITSELF. (It was glorious) Allah is with them all, today

Israel is defeated. If, in their defeat they invoke rage

Russia warned the US to keep out of it.

Insha Allah we are ready to meet our maker.

Don't worry people of Palestine .....you have got a army of Q tards on your side!

US public have no clue they are being set up....the goal of this orchestrated massacre is to destroy W Europe and N America.... everything is put in place now it's whether the divided people bite....Jews have been dreaming of this day for centuries....the total destruction of the white race and I fear they are going to succeed.

I lived in Palestine. Thank you for saying what is clear to many of us who know these workings firsthand, yet less than clear to others. May we grow in wisdom, empathy, and radical justice.

Kind of amazed at the comments. Iranian armed Hamas and other forces launch rockets and an incursion to murder as many as possible and it is all Israel’s fault. Having neighbors that over and over attack and terrorize your citizens while Iran works on atomic weapons to annihilate your nation is acceptable here. What is unacceptable is that any Jew should fight for existence. They should go to their slaughter without complaint. That will make this privileged protest, those in the safety of their own places, feel so self righteous.

Kind of amazed that by now in May 2024 you think the world does not know clearly that Israel has, for 55 consecutive October 7ths, been illegally occupying Palestine and imposing apartheid on them, killing then with impunity and stealing their land. Israel invades it’s neighbours like Syria and Lebanon and bombs them: homes, airports, embassies- whatever it feels like.

Settler colonialist Israel as a “neighbour” is a stark raving psychopath.

The situation on college campuses is telling as well, not just for the obvious correctness of these young people calling for institutional justice, but a strong indicator of how power will crack down on any kind of dissent, including climate change activists. As sickening as Gaza is, we haven't seen anything yet. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/gaza-genocide-protests-a-preview

That’s right.

The FBI has defined a group of potential lawbreakers to be spied on, that they calle “climate extremists”. In their definition that’s not the execs of Shell or Exxon, no.

Their idea of climate extremism is those altruistic people who actually protest the actions of morally bankrupt oil company executives and owners, and who protest against the corrupt governments that don’t live up to their national commitments in global climate agreements.

Unfortunately, that is correct. I touched on those subjects when I wrote about Cop City in Atlanta, as well as crackdowns in Europe with jail time. Manuel Esteban Paez Terán was murdered in his tent, shot 50 times.

Here's a map and list showing where states are turning what used to be misdemeanors into felonies for protesting near gas and oil pipelines.

We know it, they know we know it. Plan years in the making by the west. Losing their control of the world. UN, ICJ & ICC allowing this holocaust to go on. UN members all should walk out against this blatant manipulation of the west. All corrupt and stupid. Their one chance to get rid of western imperialism and they fail to do so. Beyond belief. And so Palestinians are being starved, killed at a rate never seen before. Herded together like lambs to the slaughter. Inhumane cruelty worse than the first holocaust. Media have played their biggest and dirtiest role. None of them journos but propagandists. Disgust only left for all of them. People will not stop as humanity is at stake. Life not worth living if destroyed. No one can live with the zionists. Impossible. They will never stop their violent and inhumane ways. Constant warmongering so the rich 1% can get richer. World has lost the plot.

You didn’t mention the hostages did you.

Jim's avatar

Surely you mean the thousands of hostages Israel is holding, imprisoned without charges or trials. Oh, you don't mean that? Must be something in your eye that prevents you from seeing clearly.

For any of this to be plausible you would have to believe Obama is not the rat behind the throne…

Thank you Jonathan for your professional integrity and courage in providing such excellent and incisive coverage of events in Gaza/Palestine. You put mainstream media journalists to shame.

The Evil is so in your face how can anyone deny or defend it.. I pray to the Lord Jesus to please come to their aid if that be they will.

Triggered by Jesus Mark ? I will gladly converse with you but you probably need to take your medicine first.

It saddens me deeply having to agree with your prediction, Jonathan. Unfortunately, the reluctance of the US government to stop this genocide is crystal clear—Israel can do no wrong. And we all have to abide by the cruelty that Israel and the so called free democracies of the West impose upon us.

I imagine quite a few. Sigh. We’re arrogant, strident, and a bully. A deadly bully. This isn’t going to last forever.
