I admit the death knell of the Zionist project sounds wonderful but the idea of the deaths of Hezbollah fighters and citizens of Lebanon does nothing for me.

There appears to be the same sliver of insanity running through our Western governments like the total insanity of Netanyahu and co, because if anyone looks at what is going on at this moment, insanity is the only real answer and like so many, I just want it to stop.

No four day ceasefire, no two state solution, just return the stolen lands to Palestine and the parts that have been stolen from Lebanon and maybe elsewhere. Let the Israeli's with their dual passports return to whatever former homeland is on their passports.

Unfortunately there is no liberation of colonised and oppressed peoples in history without bloodshed - as Gamal Abdul Nasser said " There is no longer a way out of our present situation except by forging a road toward our objective, violently and by force, over a sea of blood and under a horizon blazing with fire." This article in Mondoweiss also expresses it well: "What the Haitian revolution has been trying to teach us is that no matter how harsh the oppression is, people will rise because life is stronger than death and because the will to be free is etched in our DNA as human beings." https://mondoweiss.net/2024/01/every-person-is-a-person-toutmounsemoun/ The stolen lands were stolen by force, they can only be returned by force and we have a tortuous road to travel for some time yet but the status quo is destroyed forever and that is already a victory. xx

In my own weird way I can see the beauty in both of those quotes.

I just get so sick of my country, well I guess yours as well by birth, forever looking down at others and bullying them in the most brutal fashion before pretending to be innocent. I guess you know how I mean more than anyone.

My heart wants no more bloodshed but my brain knows otherwise.

Keep safe Vanessa. xx

Not maybe. Definitely. They need to leave the Golan Heights as well. And remove their spy facilities in other countries. What the hell. They just need to LEAVE. And so does the U.S. Out of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine in the Negev. Get the hell out. Once again, YANKEES GO HOME. (And Southerners too.) Some of these people are stupid enough not to have alternate passports but they don't even need a visa to get into the U.S. I don't really want an influx of 5 million mentally ill, deranged people. But it's less harmful than them staying.

When I said maybe I meant because I'm sure there's bits of other lands I don't know about but yes, I agree, most definitely out of the Golan Heights.

Personally I just think all countries should remove their military bases out of anyone else's country and leave people be, USA being the top offender followed by UK , then dribs and drabs of others. All should go home and look after their own citizens first. All the money saved would go a long way sorting out problems they've created in their own countries.

Yes, I know. I'm just pissed off. Not questioning you. Watch Electronic Intifada's livestream today.

The zio officials and IOF don't even care about their own people. Just as long as US $$ keep flowing they'll risk anything. It's suicidal, in the end, but they want to take everyone with them.

I agree totally but I don't think it's even the dollars and pounds, I've listened to too many of their rabbi's and Netanyahu's speeches. They seem just totally brutal and insane. They seem completely happy about the deaths of their own by the thousands.

The IOF, although I can't excuse them, are virtually brainwashed from birth, add the touch of insanity and we see what it produces.

A deliberate construct against its near realisation. I'll bow. NOT TO SUCH. Imagine you do do not have to blow up contention try bounce. C'mon.
