I just added a link to a report on journalist Jeremy Loffredo's status.

Please scroll to listen to the report.

You can also go to the Oct. 23 broadcast of Judging Freedom to listen to the entire show.

Massie has now condemned Israel for destroying what appears to be an apartment building in Lebanon.

While I've always been against what I understood to be the situation of the displacement of Palestinian and the attitude of Israelis in general, my views have recently and permanently changed.

While fundamentalist whacko Jews consider themselves to be the only full and entitled humans, and every other race/culture else to be here for their use, I now consider THEM to be flawed, inferior and not deserving equal respect.

Any "Christians" who support Zionism I now hold to be intellectually challenged and also not to be given normal consideration.

As I said, this feels to be permanently part of my world outlook. They did it to themselves.

I'm glad you used "", because those are not Christians.

Goes to show how desperate the IDF is if they’re resorting to human shields.

It seems like everything has gone wrong for Netanyahu, their ‘9/11’ event didn’t work garnering Global support, ethnic cleansing of Gaza hasn’t happened (Egypt refused), terror bombing of civilians has backfired and the military campaign has bogged down.

The last card is a regional conflict with Iran.

Mearsheimer and Mercouris were talking about this today with Glenn Diesen. They were simply saying that after decades of wrong headed confrontation with the Palestinians and neighboring countries, Israel had got itself into a situation neither it nor the US can control and that's going from bad to worse.

Distressing. PTSD for Israeli soldiers. Suicides. Dehumanizing our fellow man. Death, maiming, generational hatred.

How does this end? Where is an off ramp to peace?

I'm hoping that the end begins with protests and refusals to participate within Israel itself. Onnce upon a time there were human Israelis speaking up.

I want the United States to stop supplying military equipment to Israel to kill innocent civilians.

Shazam! I just found out that American citizen journalist Jeremy Loffredo was released from the Israel government's detention yesterday, and he is now back at his home in the US:

This news does tie in with the topic at hand in Mark's post, and in the Comments section: Israel has killed journalists, also beaten them, and incarcerated them. Jeremy was unjustly arrested for reporting the truth. And several other journalists, including one from PBS!, reported the exact same truths. The PBS reporter was not arrested.

I was eager to share the good news about Jeremy's release here. : )

Here is Judge Andrew Napolitano , on Oct. 23, interviewing Grayzone head Max Blumenthal about Jeremy Loffredo's release, plus additional Mideast stories.

VERY interesting and informative:

Citing social media posts and also "International media outlets including Al Jazeera, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Britain’s The Guardian, and The New York Times", you do your credibility no favors. The latter are all well known agenda-driven propaganda sources.

I have to say that as the days go by this month, more news outlets that have been covering up the Israeli genocide and atrocities, are now posting some stories that reveal truth. If a person chooses to be well-informed, and so spends a good amount of time reading at a variety outlets, and watching interviews and documentaries, that person will be able to then get a full and true picture of reality.

Photos of building and human body destruction are difficult to fake.

Start by reading this true story:

"Half of Jabalia ethnically cleansed by Israeli army as schools burned and men kidnapped"~

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/jabalia-ethnically-cleansed-israel-army-schools-burned-men-kidnapped

See and read what the Israeli Zionist monsters are doing.

In other words, you don't specifically deny anything in the LifeSiteNews article.

With the level of anti-Jewish / anti-Israel animus that exists today, why are we not hearing what you write more widely reported? I find nearly everything you write about Israel nearly impossible to believe.

What I find nearly impossible to believe is how stupid your comment is.

We are asked to not believe our own eyes. Who has not seen the level of devastation in Gaza? Yet we are told that all of these buildings that have been turned to rubble with thousands buried underneath were completely under the control of the Hamas terrorists and the civilians who died weren’t innocent because they obviously supported the Hamas regime! Ridiculous. Both sides are guilty of atrocities. And the US is complicit. Shame on us.

"And the US is complicit."

I do not like what Hamas does. I do not like what Hez does. I do not like what Israel does. Why can't the US stay out? It's a lose-lose for us. Let Israel figure out how to get along with its neighbors. Its neighbors hate Israel. Israel hates them. Seems like an intractable problem - how is killing supposed to solve it? Does everyone need to die?

You say you find the posts about the reality in Gaza and I include Lebanon, too, as "nearly impossible to believe" because you have been conditoned to believe a propaganda script put out by the collective West media. Here in the US, the populace has been propagandized over and over that Israel is a victim in the Mideast. This is not at all true--the reverse of what you hear and read from the mainstream media is the truth. The Israeli government is a terrorist government. They want land, oil and gas wealth, and power. They say they are entitled to it, and in order to get it they can brutally kill and subjugate all others because the others are SUB-HUMAN. The Israel government is a Zionist government--not the same as the religious Jewish population.

There are many places to read about and view the goals and atrocities of Netanyahu and his orcs. Here are some additional truth-telling resources in addition to Mark's thorough and current reporting: The Grayzone, Middle East Eye, Redacted, Judging Freedom, Sonar 21, The Palestinian Chronicle, Moon of Alabama...and there are more.

If you have an inquiring mind, then you will read, listen, and then want to dig for more to remove the fog of propaganda.

Thank you, Amanda. I get riled up when there is questioning, but no effort to then hunt and learn.

"nearly impossible" = NOT impossible.

What you're saying has more to do with where you get your information than anything else. I think I can say I've been consistently correct on most of what I write--allowing for a reasonable margin of error. Why would you think that I'm so far off base on Israel, especially when I transparently provide sources and extensive documentation? You do read the documentation--both historical and current events related--that I link to, don't you?

Perfect reposte. I hope the commenters will do what aDoozy suggests and conduct their own research. Meanwhile I will pray for Gaza.

Mark Wauck's avatar

Specifically, do you find Israeli social media postings of their own atrocities "nearly impossible" to believe, or only what I write? Do you find it "nearly impossible" to believe the photo and video documented leveling of all Gaza? Are you a genocide denier?
