Israel is no friend of America or Americans. It is a construct and device of the US government. Unfortunately the evil that is Zionism has taken control of the US Senate, House, President and Judiciary. It controls the media corrporations and far to many Have fallen for the nonsense of Judeo - Christian values. " Any decent person is Ashamed of the Government they live UNDER"- HL Mencken

There is a tremendous amount of evidence that, if the Israeli Government did not orchestrate October 7th, it at least knowingly made sure it happened. There is also a great deal of evidence of the IDF intentionally killing Israeli citizens on October 7th. The Grayzone, the Last American Vagabond, the Convo Couch and The Jimmy Dore Show are among the many honest outlets that have shown video and evidence of what really happened that day and members of the IDF have spoken out. I believe that October 7th was all staged for the sole purpose of excusing a planned genocide. The strongest voice against the genocide has been Jewish Voices for Peace, but while Israel is committing crimes agianst humanity, Jews who oppose genocide are being called antisemitic.. In reality, Israel is the most antisemitic nation on Earth. It has defamed the Jewish people by equating support for Judiaism with support for genocide and with support for the massacre of thousands of children. Additionally, Israel is committing a genocide aginst the true Semites (under the corrrect definition of the word) who reside in Gaza. Every Jewish person I know is standing with the Palestinians and not with Israel. Most Zionists are not Jewish.

Thank you, Dennis. I only wish you could have convinced Bobby. So sad.

Western commentators make a fundamental error when they assume that it's up to Israel and their US backers to turn to peace in the region. That is just hubris, and that is not what the Axis of Resistance believes, nor does it believe in Israel's "right to exist." No one and nothing has a "right to exist." One's existence depends on one's deeds. And the Axis of Resistance is well aware of what Israel's deeds have been for 75 years and what the consequences are going to be. Already citizens of Israel are engaged in mass emigration from that cursed place. It is only going to increase. The deeds of Americans are also catching up with them after a century of endless war against the people of the world. Does America have a "right to exist"? This country is collapsing.

What is happening in Gaza text book Genocide https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/atrocity-crimes/Doc.1_Convention%20on%20the%20Prevention%20and%20Punishment%20of%20the%20Crime%20of%20Genocide.pdf

The assumption that hamas carried out monstrous atrocities such as rape and behaving children, is all false and based on propaganda, israeli army and air force killed most of the people that day

and only an independent investigation can tell us who is truly responsible for all the individual deaths of the massacre of the 7h October, plenty of evidences prove that many were murdered by the israeli soldiers, tanks, planes and helicopters.

Here the last report

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231219-witnesses-say-israeli-warplanes-targeted-settler-homes/

The blood already spilled will never be erased from the book of history.

The longer the blood spill will go on, the larger the stain will become, and those who have lett the blood spill enlarge, would be them self stained by the blood they had spilled with their support and bombs, and will them selfs become remembered for the horror they had become.

We must end the mass murdering and terror.

Stop the genocide!

Cease fire now!

Pick a side .

Israel has lost any reason to exist . It is a criminal entity built on land stolen from indigenous Palestinians by Britain and fraudulently gifted to Zionists . Israel continues to steal, destroy and murder.

The Israeli government has one mission that it is carrying out for the world to see: total elimination of the Palestinians. Rabbis in the US have decried this genocide. but as long as the Biden Administration funds it, Israel will succeed. The US has supported war to fund its MIC, and the Democrats (afraid of AIPAC) have turned a blind eye as the rest of the world (and US citizens, including Jews) make clear that this is genocide. Why? Same as every they/we decision: $$$$$$$$$$$.

It's always about something the US wants (resources of course) and now it's a group hug from UK and others. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-war-geopolitics-gaza-multibillion-dollar-gas-field. Bibi was already giving it away on 10/29 of this year through exploration licenses to UK and Italy. And we wonder why no western country steps up to shake Biden out of his greed-induced willful and heinous disregard for what's happening. Follow the money. Always follow the money...

Dennis, I have been a long-time admirer of you because you have been one of the precious few in our barren, bought-off political landscape to speak truth and challenge power. I agree with what you say in your column, but there is a huge gaping hole in your list of culpability. As the former campaign manager for RFK Jr., what are your thoughts about his truly despicable and completely Zionist views on the US/Israeli Gaza genocide? In his interview on "Breaking Points" lat week he even dismissed the Palestinians as "pampered". He also said Israel was taking every step to avoid civilian casualties.

While I initially had some hope for his campaign -- especially when you were involved -- I now see him for the fraud he is.

I published a Substack column on RFK Jr's frankly fascist views about Palestinians and this ongoing war crime: "'Bibi' Kennedy Torches Last Scrap Of Legitimacy & Credibility Over US/Israeli Genocide: Child of unearned generational wealth labels Palestinians 'pampered'".

What an honorable man... Dennis, like Jimmy Carter, is a very decent and transparent individual, who has always put others before his own interests.

Unfortunately, the world does not deserve such honorable men.

What kind of Israel do you wish to survive? When you detail the brutal, genocidal ways that Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank (and don’t forget East Jerusalem & Palestinian citizens of Israel), is this Israel worthy of surviving? Who leads this Israel? Who lives in the Israel that you want to survive? The vast majority of Israelis do not condemn the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians because far too many of its young people & the whole of society have dehumanized Palestinians. Israel is in need of a moral cleansing first!

The genocide in Gaza is fueled and funded by the MICIMATT complex for its own monetary enrichment.

We need a president like you. Please run.

Dennis, you have a rare opportunity to change history with some participation in the 2024 elections. Please sit down with Jill Stein and Cornel West and share a ticket in a peace party. You could creatively share roles. You three share the same basic political belief with Martin Luther King that we should increase social services and pay for it with military cuts.

Good analysis except for a couple things. You support a state of Israel but don't support a state of Palestine. ??? Maybe consider two states, one state for Palestinians and Jews or a confederation. Also, Oct. 7 was a military raid against occupiers, not a terrorist attack. Scott Ritter, the guy who proved that Iraq had no wmd, says that approximately half of the killed were soldiers and 80% of the civilian deaths were caused by IDF Apache helicopters and tanks. https://open.substack.com/pub/scottritter/p/the-october-7-hamas-assault-on-israel?r=wl9s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Sorry, Mr. Kucinich, although I commend your characterizations in most of this piece -- particularly regarding the theater of the absurd daily staged by the Biden administration -- I find it hard to agree that Israel should continue to exist in its present form as a Zionist state with a minority of Arab citizens who may as well be as dead as those poor souls in Gaza. Zionism, like American exceptionalism is a blight on the remainder of the world. It assumes supremacy of some small population of the globe's humans (0.11% of the global population for Israel, less than 5% for the US) for reasons that, predicated on some ethereal notions of "chosen-ness" or "destiny" are almost ludicrous. This is unhealthy for the rest of the world. And yes, I wish my own country would evaporate in its current iteration and be reborn in peace, demilitarization, re-industrialization, and agricultural husbandry. But at my advanced age, my hopes grow razor thin.
