I do wish people would refrain from using Hamas as a 'scapegoat' for Israeli crimes.

We are here talking about one of the most BRUTAL regimes in History.......Israel!

The Geneva Convention is stuck in 'white-man-speak-colonial-history!

It has rules ...yes but none of them seem to apply to the 'butchers' in Israel who call Palestinians animals.

I could go on and on. I have lived in the old colonial 'writhing' of post colonial India and Sri Lanka and as far as I know NOT one of these white oppressors were sanctioned!

Hamas breaches of law are minor compared to Israel. I believe Hamas has basically said they will accept being subjected to international law if done fairly wrt Israel as well.

Thank you for continuing to speak up and speak out. It is the speaking up that matters the most. It is turning the dynamic around that is being used for genocide, which is words to justify slaughter, and forcing those who use words to do this to face the truth of their complicity. Thank you for what you are doing.

ZioBeasts can do as they please Besides bombing the Iranian embassy in Damascus, look at what they are doing & saying in the US Congress. Read my article “Who Controls the Maryland, Virginia Congressional Delegations” on Substack

You are correct J. Michael Springman......those of us with half a brain know this BUT those of us who have NO brain........how do we get to them?

I would like to know from Trump supporters what they think? After all they are the 'right to lifers' who don't seem to give a damn about women and kids being slaughtered?

On top of this: EVERY politician in the US SHOULD be scared to hell because the US people have guns (for this very cause) and yet they are doing NOTHING.

Also. How easy is it to cut electrical wires to these 'no brain' Teee Vee watchers.

Americans 'walk the talk' BUT when 'push comes to shove' no one does anything!!!!!

The problem is: We are not getting to the people who think they still have a Democracy in the USA.

How do we do this?

There must be a huge amount of young people who know how to 'crash' Tee Vee stations. Why are they not doing this?

Why is the apparently legal single Palestinian state overlooked/ignored to begin with?

​A month ago Dr. Ralph Wilde explained to the ICJ the legal basis of the Palestinian right of self-determination with no preconditions​, violated from the ​s​tart. Palestine was not unpeopled. Dr. Wilde stated​, Israel must leave the occupied territory, "immediately."

Not his first address on this, see here after approx. 31.00/50.53

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B81wDxXniAo

And ​on the refusal to apply self-determination, particularly​ approx. 5.30/54,30,

​D​r. Wilde​ ​even addresses the h​istory of the Balfour letter,

​Etc,

Where did I miss the explanations of Dr. Wilde's false reasoning, incorrect observations and/or conclusions?

So if he's right, why still death and destruction as we wait on legal political process?

Wilde, Tears of the Olive Trees (2022) (pdf)

". . . The common view of international lawyers is that the law of self-determination only became applicable to colonial peoples in the second half of the 20th Century. Consequently, the UK, and the League Council, had a free hand on the question of the status of the Palestine

Mandate. This is mistaken. The special clause of the League Covenant applicable to Palestine, providing for provisional independence, could not be lawfully bypassed. The UK’s failure to comply with this was a violation of international law with ongoing consequences, thereby serving as a basis for contemporary accountability. . . "
