If only she'd had the guts to go off-script and finish with "another example of the atrocities and the many affronts on human decency which we see Israeli committing”

Difficult to verify who is involved or dead but likely the dead are casualties of a war which was re-ignited by one side when they literally and premeditatedly slaughtered many innocent humans because that was and remains their desire.

'Three Palestinian men fell from a roof during IDF military operation.' One almost can not parody the passive language employed by Western corporate media when reporting on Palestine. The former's transparently obfuscatory function as PR rep for the Zionist state makes 'news' corporations complicit in Israel's atrocities and war crimes.

What planet are you living on? Three people versus 1200 raped and tortured. Admit it, you are all antisemites!

You cannot be antisemitic to a nation, with a government, and politicians. You have Judaism and a national state confused. Those of us who live outside the Zionist propaganda bubble see the 100 years of brutality, massacrus, dehumanization, forced exile of millions who are not allowed to return, and millions of human beings forced to live under Israels military control and military law for generations. Parents who have been denied the ability to give their children and grandchildren hope for a future with civil and human rights, a nation/state for self goverenance, and freedom is a Jewish principle? Having parents unable to assure their children they can sleep peacefully through the night for 75 years is a Jewish value?

Stern, Irgun, and Haganah (all Zionist terrorist groups) invented modern-day terrorism as we know it today. Educate yourself.

What are these 'three people' of which you speak? Is your point that civilian deaths in Gaza caused by IDF attacks have amounted to just three individuals since 7 October? I beg to differ. But it is interesting that you call criticism of civilian deaths, 'antisemitism'. That is a radical redefinition.

You might want to consult a history book of the Nakba or before. Or after. Perhaps Gideon Levy, Ilan Poppe, Uri Avnery or Noam Chomsky. It's been October 7 in Palestine for three-quarters of a century and beyond. To the bombing of the King David Hotel (not done by Hamas incidentally, or their antecedents), Theodore Herzl and David Ben Gurion. The latter of whom said "Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves.... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves.... The country is theirs because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country." I admit that citing Ben Gurion is anti-Semetic but all satire has a particle of truth. From conception Zionists knew that the Palestinians were going to have to be driven completely from their historic homeland to make way for the new state. What we are seeing today in real time is Nakba, part 2, the complete elimination of Palestinians. It's astonishing the magnitude of the lies people like you not only wield, but get away with. "What planet are you living on?" Did you jump out of your skin when you asked that?

You are getting your news from Hamas, right! Israel is a democracy and Hamas is a terrorist organization. Israel has always conducted their war as respectfully as they can in a war situation. Palestine/Hamas doesn’t deserve anyone’s sympathy until they change their mission of erasing Israel from the face of the earth. They have refused peace offers by the US and others because this administration has sympathy for poor Palestinians, which is the reason this war is going to continue. Admit it, you are an antisemite!

An apartheid country, by definition, can not be a democracy, and especially not one committing a genocide. BTW, the Palestinians and Hamas are fighting to free themselves from a racist state, international law gives them the right to do that with all means at their disposal, including violence.

Zionist propaganda has been exposed. Such a desperate attempt tp condemn those who can see, hear, and read the facts on the ground. The term, "antisemitic" has been thrown at anything that moves, making it meaningless. You do realize Zionists have now given the real antisemites a free pass since everyone with a rational mind is called antisemitic. BTW Palestinians are Semites. Arabs are Semites. Middle Eastern Christians are Semites. Zionism is inherently antisemitic, driven by racism, Jewish supremacy, and religious bigotry.

I truly feel sorry for those ignorant television watchers like you. Turn off your idiot box. It's not serving you well. If you would like a long list of JEWISH and ISRAELI authors, scholars, historians, journalists, and first-hand witnesses who can educate you accurately and properly, I can provide them.

These three men are a tiny minority of the number of Palestinians killed by Israel. Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians both in Gaza and the West Bank. long before October 7.

In Gaza there are at least 17,000 dead children. Not all were killed by the bombs the US sent to Israel. American doctors who volunteered in one of what is left of Gaza's hospitals have pictures of young children who were shot at close range by Israeli soldiers. The Nazis shot young Jewish children at close range, Now Jewish soldiers are shooting young Palestinian children at close range.

The Israelis were shooting children long before October 7. On June 1, 2022, a soldier shot 2 years old Mohammad Tamimi in his head. The toddler was in his father's arms as they were getting into a car to go to a family birthday party. They never got to the party. The father who was shot in his chest recovered after surgery. His very young son was taken to a hospital in Israel where he died on June 5 from the IDF bullet in his brain. Two days later the IDF shot a Palestinian photographer who was filming them destroying yet another Palestinian home.

The cruelty and brutality of Israel for years is what led right to the horrific events of October 7. Israel now has torture camps. Israel has used torture for years. The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselelem recently a issued devastating report on Israel's torture camps. The report is called Welcome to Hell. The IDF picked up random Palestinians and put them in the torture camps. The men were stripped naked and beaten and tortured. At least one elderly man died from the beating. Many suffered broken bones and broken ribs. All of the men were starved..Some of the men were raped with sticks and carrots. When they were released seven months after being in an Israeli hell most were unrecognizable by their family. Not one person in the torture camps was charged with anything. That is the face of Israel

Anyone with a knowledge of what Israel has done should not be surprised by what happened on October 7.

I have Israeli friends who are long time anti occupation peace activists. Long before October 7, one of them said that given how Israel has treated the Palestinians, one day the dam is going to break.

David Grossman is an Israeli author. In 1988 he spoke at a synagogue in my community. He described the many ways that Israel was deliberately making life miserable for Palestinians. He said that if Israel continued in the same direction it would lead to a fascist Israel which Israel is close to being today and to a calamity not just for Israel but for the world.

Look where we are today.

MJ, would you call David Grossman and my Israeli friends antisemites?

Short on journalistic news. Long on biased personal speculation, fill in the blank words of rhetoric designed to incite. This is hack journalism masquerading as a writer.

You are not a victim.

I’m a former Catholic, not a Jew. It is true though, Israelis invest in their people and their education.

How many brilliant minds were lost in those concentration camps?

Islamic countries invest in Jihad and Martyrdom. And yet you expect people to love Islam. Many of us DO NOT.

There is no crime they could perform which would prevent a flock of flying monkeys from sallying forth and defend their atrocity.

If that doesn't tell us who really runs this insane asylum then nothing will.

Food for thought: Juxtapose the treatment of our nationals who fought for ISIS and were blocked from returning 'home'; with the fact that these animals will be returning to our nations after their participation in the democide (as weekend warriors). There is no difference between the 2 groups.

Jack Reacher was right: Some people just want a legal excuse to kill (and torture, rape, etc).

Any dual nationals who serve in the IDF should have their other passport taken away. If they want to murder and rape for Israel that is where they should be - with the world's largest concentration of pedophiles and psychopaths.

Peace.

And Hamas' execution of its hostages? No war crime?

Expand full comment

Just before the 6 hostages were killed, Hamas had warned Netanyahu hostages would be killed if he tried a military rescue. The cease fire/return of the hostage deal that Hamas agree to in July was sitting on Netanyahu's desk. All of the hostages would have been returned months ago with a stroke of his pen. What did Netanyahu choose? A military "rescue", 6 innocent hostages dead, and endless slaughter. The deaths of the hostages are on Netanyahu's hands. Netanyahu and his war criminal cronies have never intended to stop the escalation of war in the Middle East, and they could not give a damn about the hostages.

The Israeli papers have reported that the IDF killed most of the Israelis Oct 7th, along with every credible, independent journalist that has reported on the ongoing genocide.

Look at the people Israelis are up against. They love death; they say so regularly.

You have that backwards. Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben Gvir , and the majority of Israeli citizens refuse to call non-Jewish Palestinians human beings. They say it is right and moral to starve them to death. Millions of Christian and Muslim Palestinians were forced into excil . Millions more are forced to live under IDF control and military laws. Generations have not experienced one day of freedom in over 75 years. If some armed guards comes to your door, tells you you have 3 hours to collect your belongings, and puts you out on the street homeless, and tells your home belongs to them, would you curtsy and walk away? How about you entire community bulldozed to the ground forcing all to flee for their lives. Would you smile as you ran away holding your baby and what belongings you could carry? Zionists have brought nothing but brutality, massacres, dehumanization, ethnic cleansing, and genocide to Palestine for over 100 years.

The NYT essentially reported that it doesn't count because it can't be confirmed whether the men were alive or not when they were kicked off the roof!

I'm no expert on war crimes, but can anyone please help me to understand this "nuance"? All I can come up with is that the ZioMSM can't refute the evidence, so they're desperately spewing gibberish to confuse the reader.

At one time their mideast editor and 3 staff reporters all had kids in the IDF. It took 3 months of badgering them to get them to finally admit it. On October 7, they hired an Israeli Intel officer to write lies about that day.
