This has been obvious since Oct 8 and for the preceding decades. Few have the balls to publicly state this truth. Thank you and I concur.

Thanks for saying this. It has been on my mind for some time that this may be the only way to stop the genocide.

I share your sentiments about Palestine and this mass murder of Palestinians. There is no war. It is too painful knowing that the helpless, innocent people in Palestine are being brutally murdered by Israel, and by the greed and apathy of all global world leaders. Maybe we global world citizens can team-up and empower the United Nations and put an end to such evil.

His Excellency Mr. Diego Pary Rodríguez

Permanent Representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia to the United Nations

Member of The Hague Group

Dear Ambassador Pary Rodríguez,

Thank you for your principled leadership and your commitment, alongside your fellow Hague Group members, to justice, accountability, and the rights of the Palestinian people. In a world where so many have abandoned principle, your actions continue to inspire hope.

Now is the time to take the next step.

We call on you to lead in forming and deploying an international protective force to Palestine—urgently—to intervene in the genocide, shield civilians, ensure the flow of humanitarian aid, and uphold the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.

The world is watching. And millions are ready to rise with you.

With respect and urgency,

I follow the twitter accounts you posted above; it's been agonizing to hear the voices coming out of Gaza. In terms of doing whatever it takes to stop this holocaust: sure, of course, if that were possible. But as you know it's much easier to stop a bully at the onset of their rampage than towards the end when they're even crazier & more out of control. The fact that even neighboring Arab countries (with the exception of Yemen) haven't lifted a finger to help Gaza means Israel/US knows it can continue to act with utter impunity.

What does it tell us about our species as we witness evil vs good playing out every day before our eyes, to the horror of some, the glee of others, & the utter indifference of most?!

It is time to end the Nazi occupation of Palestine.

Isn't the issue more that the 'collective West' are not only not prepared to do anything to stop the Israeli regime but are still arming and aiding them in their endeavours? I've little doubt that they'd love the chance to have a pop at Iran and we've already seen what they've done in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

Sanctions would be a start, as well as stopping sending WMD to Israel - but that takes our various 'governments' having just some modicum of decency. Which they don't seem to.

Israel has demonstrated its demonic nature. The demons that lead that nation have nuclear weapons at their disposal. Are those leaders insane enough to use them? See Gaza for an answer.

I believe that Iran has the capability to deliver devastating missile strikes on Israeli military bases, 8200 headquarters (my personal favorite target and I'll bet Nate's too), water treatment plants and its power grid. Israel to this day does not admit the damage done by the few missiles fired by Iran among all those slow delivery telegraphed drones.

I would add Türkiye to Egypt as a country capable of armed invasion. Türkiye too has an air force with refueling tankers. Mexico, Columbia and Brazil face some serious logistics problems delivering airplanes to the region.

The USA loves to toss out the threats of sanctions. We who inhabit this state need to enact sanctions of our own. Boycotting Israeli goods and simple protest at the domestic sites of Israeli firms are the least we can do.

If the Houthis can face down Israel, so can many more. But the strikes do need to be quick and accurate in order to negate the nuclear threat.

Genocide is a constant feature of human behavior. It was foundational to the formation of the US. Still, it has been astonishing in a time when the carnage is so easily accessible to witness the denial and twisting of the definition of the word "antisemite." As Trump deports people without due process, we are seeing the bigotry that is foundational to this behavior.

I yearn for the true progress of the human being & its eternal soul. I give no quarter to explaining away human atrocities.

They will not stop until they are stopped. Whether this happens from within or without it is absolutely essential. They have brought about the only possible solution in humanitarian concerns of self destruction. They are terminally ill and are begging for release. The GHOUL OF ISRAEL needs death. The 'west' will never live down their complicity. dtRUMP is an embicile and as shallow as a bulldozed pancake: for him VENEER is reality. Shameful. Starmer = GHOUL OF THE UK.

No no no no no. Drop bombs and kill people. Israelis are people. Us life-lovers are gadflies, poking at horror. We need to do better. It’s on us to find a way, but for that we need to put wise heads together to deal with how to uplift all of humanity to dance to a different drummer. That would be the one we were designed for, to love one another where we cooperate to make this a caring world.

Russia and China can both easily destroy Israel.

Yes. By all means this needs to be resolved by military occupation and overthrow of the Zionist Entity and dissolution of Israel.
