For the people who have suggested that Palestinians try non-violent resistance, they have and it doesn't do anything. Peaceful protest may be better in theory, but in practice it is an impotent form of resistance and equivalent to collective suicide.

Maher, who I normally like, is one of those who seems to be lumping pro-Gazan support with support for Hamas. Very annoying. Like there's no gray area.

I love Bill Burr, the fact that so many Right Wingers were lured in, only for him to eviscerate them, and now they hate him, is funny to me.

So basically, no peace as long as Netanyahu is in power, right?

For those who are casually following, I'll stare that this thread is sanitized.

Even on Twitter, you can find grotesque images of what the US/UK/Israeli alliance is doing to children.

This is a family site, so those images don't get shared here. But unbelievably monstrous things can be seen.

Be sure that this struggle doesn't end with a ceasefire. Because even if there's a real ceasefire, millions of people will be traumatized for life.

Laith Marouf, of Free Palestine.video, made an interesting point on Garland Nixon's show this week.

The Palestinian resistance owes a lot to Iran and Russia for one very specific thing in particular: the liberation of Syria.

Back around 2011 or so, a civil war started in Syria, and Israel and the USA sought to overturn the government there to turn it into a Western vassal state, like Jordan. They came really close, and the USA still illegally occupies parts of Syria. But they did not succeed thanks to Iranian and Russian intervention, and now Syria is sovereign again. Bashar Assad is that nice again a member of the Arab league.

Marouf said that Syria is essential for the supply lines to the Palestinian resistance, and I assume Hezbollah as well. He suggested that the Palestinian resistance would likely not be viable had the USA and Israel prevailed in Syria.
