Hi Jonathan. Just to let you know - I shared this substack on FB and I got a warning from FB! You're obviously hitting the mark! Keep up the great writing.

Jonathan, do not forget the suffering brought about by the instigator, Hamas.

Whilst it is a terrible situation I don’t believe that Israel has the monopoly on barbarism.

You are bordering on being a useful idiot.

Nobody is recording the death toll, they're merely estimating.

This is beyond sad and heartbreaking 💔

Israel will always be an obstacle for genocidal Islamic terrorists. They prefer weaker targets, like Nigerian children.

Of course it’s a lie. All of Israel is a lie. Everything they say is a lie. They thrive on deception. Zionist Jews own all the major news and media and so that media must, of course, be lies. That is how they shape public perception. They’ve been doing it for over a century. There’s a reason there kind has been chased out of over 100 countries… and it’s not because they are kind to their neighbors 🤭🤭

The Talmud specifically says that oaths don’t have to be honored to Gentiles when a Jew makes them, no? They don’t believe gentile lives have any worth at all. They see the rest of humanity as sub-human beasts. This is how it has always been which is why they are inevitably hated wherever they go.

"My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed.

My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza.

The current Israeli Government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt among gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians. The implication is that Jewish lives are precious, but the lives of Palestinians do not count."

Sir Gerald Kaufman MP, in 2009.

Thank you Tony for putting this link for all to go to. Sir Gerald Kaufman was a very wise man. If only his wisdom was recognised and followed by those in power both here, in the US and most of all in Israel.

Sir Gerald was a brave man to reconsider his lifetime commitment to Zionism and the State of Israel. In this 45-minute interview (2010) he discussed how he came to repudiate Zionism.

Thank you, Tony for adding this link. It's taken me a few days to be able to listen to it and it exemplifies what a wonderful man Sir Gerald was. I think he is probably the true voice of Israel and expatriate Jews ... what a pity it is they are being drowned out by fools!

An extremely power piece of journalism. Here we are living in a so called "civilised western democratic state" worshipping celebs and chasing the latest trend.... Whilst we ignore a real time Genocide, burying our heads.

appreciation for your approbation, jenny stokes. just wanted to clarify that HAMAS is an in-extremis complexity, given the multi-factional segments inside what has been identified as HAMAS, which is replete w/ corrupted, anti-palestinian collaborators appropriated w/ funding by zioisraeli billionaires in the UK, israel, the UK, and germany. if the lucre is sufficient, bribery prevails among the amoral and immoral psychopaths and sociopaths in any and every culture.

as an aside, as an antithetical rejoindre to war-criminal netanyahu's egregious fabrications before the sycophantic US congress last week, i want to clarify for jonathan's readership that during our 3 years in the hashemite kingdom of jordan, 2 years in malaysia, 6 months in indonesia, and 7 and a half years in egypt, that our 7 children [no, we are not catholics or missionaries, rather environmental conservationists] discovered from their islamic friends that the femmes WANTED to 'cover' precisely b/c they did NOT WANT to be distracted by boys/ guys/men in their ambit who stared at them, preferring instead to concentrate on their studies and future opportunities for professional employment. other femmes 'covered' for more banausic reasons: their hair was dirty b/c they had no time to wash it; they did not want to waste their time trying to choose what outfit they should select to present themselves in school every morning; they had acne eruptions they wanted to hide; or they felt uncomfortable w/ their personal appearance such that they did not want to draw attention to themselves. they actually felt liberated to be manumitted from worrying about their appearance.

apologies; i mean "in collusion WITH hamas" [not "OF hamas"].

précisement, fred; we waltz about on raster-scan simulacra.

during my son firth's and my volunteer teaching experiences/gigs in the nablus refugee camps last year, west bank elections were held. our students, interpreters/translators, friends, PROJECT HOPE NABLUS staff, and neighbours were all despondent, if not devastated, when HAMAS had, [putatively] won the elections. this was b/c they have long known and asseverated that HAMAS is actually NOT on the side of palestinian civilians, but are rather under the remit, seigneury of, and in collusion w/ the zioisraelis and the IDF who support them, in order to insure chaos, confusion, and now genocide reigns. this has been elemental to the zionists' 'divide and conquer' strategy which has proved so successful in the past for colonial powers' empire-building machinations.

until the US/UK/german/zioisraelis' stranglehold on power is neutralized, there will be no peace in the middle east. the palestinians have never yearned for, nor resisted on behalf of, any outcome other than that they be given back their expropriated land and the usufruct from their blatantly pilfered resources. that's it!

did you know that the tunnels gouged throughout gaza's sub-surfaces were constructed, in collusion of HAMAS, by the zioisraelis, in order to spy on the multifarious palestinian resistance groups extant since the 1980s?

What would a Roman emperor do

We know what it was in 70 AD

Not what USA is doing

The world can forget Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and the other historical monsters. They have been superseded by a depravity never seen before. The genocide of Gaza is uniquely evil. Netanyahu/Zionism are the new personification/example of Ultimate Evil.

All of our wars are for Israel, instigated and initiated by mostly Zionist Neo-Cons. Neo-Cons control the key nodes of America's establishment; our Ivy League schools, news media, and spook agencies; while AIPAC owns 97 of our 100 U.S. Senators and a similar percentage of the House..

It's all over for America unless we take our country back from Zionists, and that's a dubious prospect..
