Sam, what made your piece about your family in Galilee so powerful was the raw human emotion. More powerful than just the facts. Powerful in a different way from Waters' calling-out. The two approaches, together, are needed. I would love to hear your honest emotions about what is going on in Palestine and how RFK Jr.'s callousness made you feel. We are bombarded with "facts." You might be surprised to see how many people respond to your deep feelings. Best wishes!

McCormick wrote “Anyone who has followed Waters’ career knows that he is not a closet fascist, indeed, arguably quite the opposite, he is an extremist peacenik agitator who tours the world staging huge rock shows espousing views opposing, well, ‘authoritarianism, oppression, fascism, bigotry and injustice in all its forms,’ as Waters put it.” "

Good is bad. Truth is lies.

Your words are whatever we want them to mean. The lines are so clearly drawn.

The Zionists (won’t call them ZioNazis for fear of insulting the real Nazis) are outrageous. Don’t seem to realize that Arabs are Semites as well
