They sure don’t seem nearly as sympathetic to the flight of the Palestinians as your average campus protestor. Maybe they see the Palestinians as the aggressors and not the victims?

The starving Palestinian children? We are talking about getting humanitarian aid in. How bad do you have to be to not allow aid?

I used to support Israel but you have lost all my support. Anyone who is not sickened by what is happening is a monster.

I’m equally sickened by terrorist organizations and their apologists. Children are starving because of Hamas.

Hamas is evil. The children are children for God's sake. There is something very very wrong with you if you can't understand that allowing - no, not allowing causing - children to starve is an atrocity.

Israel is starving the children. On purpose.

So why does Israel get all the blame and Hamas gets none? Hamas is also starving the children on purpose. I’ll accept shared responsibility for this humanitarian crisis but the blood is not solely on Israel’s hands.

Nobody, nobody is claiming it’s all Israel. Hamas started a big conflict. Since then Israel has turned from the victim to the bully. They’re no longer trying to get rid of Hamas. They are trying to get rid of all Palestinians. If that means murdering every man, woman and child then that’s what they’ll do.

The worst kind of pain is slowly starving to death. The cruelty in this world is so hard to comprehend.

You're absolutely right. Hamas started this conflict in 1946 when they bombed the King David hotel in Jerusalem

It's a no-win situation. If you say you want to feed the people go Gaza, you are antisemitic. If you're Jewish, you're automatically labeled a Zionist no matter what you do or say.

I think this is by design. There are bad actors from both sides that do NOT want peace and benefit from the suffering of the people of Gaza.

Anyone who labels wanting to feed the malnourished masses in Gaza as “anti-semitic” can F right F off, and honestly, why should we even tolerate that deranged viewpoint in society?

This tweet describes what happens to the body during starvation. Imagine having to watch your child slowly die.

What can we do to force our leaders to do something?

Tell the Palestinian people to turn over Hamas and all hostages.

Otherwise, carry on.

Ummm, how would that work exactly? I don’t know about you, but as an ordinary U.S. citizen, I can’t just telephone Trump and his cronies and order them around.

You can tweet at him or truth at him.

You are all a bunch of bloodthirsty psychopaths.

Hamas is horrible. So Israel is horrible. So you hope Israel gets treated the same way. This will never end, you know.

I'm a Jew who went on Birthright and was staunchly pro-Israel all my life until the past two years. The blood of murdered Palestinians cries out for justice and the genocidal evil Israelis are doing is an affront to all the Jews murdered in European pogroms and the Holocaust. The Zionist Project must end and it will end only when it is destroyed. May I live to see it happen. There is nothing you can say that will sway me (and most of the world's population) from this position.

Hey, I agree with this statement entirely. The Zionist project should end.

What you expressed earlier is something else entirely?

DP.

The above will never persuade moderates (like me).

I’m a left-leaning independent (not Jewish) who supports a Palestinian state, deplores the Israeli government, and believes that US should act to prevent Israel from reoccupying Gaza.

But I will absolutely not support the elimination of Israel. The fact that this is central to the pro-Palestinian movement is anathema to a majority of Americans across the political spectrum.

You want to make political progress and help the Palestinians? Move to the middle ASAP.

If you don't believe in the dismantling of Israel as a political entity the same way that apartheid South Africa was dismantled, then you are a racist, no exceptions.

South Africa still exists as a country and South Africans of all races, religions, and ethnicities still live there. But people somehow want all the non-Muslim Israelis to … leave? Disappear? Move to Europe or South America or …? And it’s just not going to happen. If you want “apartheid Israel” to end, it would mean the Palestinians denouncing Hamas, terrorism, and extremism, and agreeing to live as law-abiding Israeli citizens in a largely secular society - like the approximately 1/3 of Arab Israelis who enjoy the same freedoms as every other Israeli citizen. And yes, the hardliners in the Israeli government would have to agree to this as well and if they didn’t, the Israeli people and people internationally would need to condemn them. But that’s how we get to one Israel because the people who already live there aren’t leaving, that’s a non-starter.

Umm, white people still live in South Africa.

And your nonsense about 1/3 of Arabs Israelis being equal citizens is categorically false. There are more than 50 discriminatory laws against them.

That’s literally what I said. White South Africans, Coloured (their term for multi-racial people), Indians and Malaysians - all live in South Africa. But many anti-Israel protesters are calling for an end to Israel as a country. It’s not even recognized as a country by some nations, even many decades after its founding. They literally want the Israelis out of Israel. Make it make sense.

Everyone knows that Trump barely reads anything, let alone the tweets and truths of random American citizens.

The protests against Trump's actions in all 50 states barely elicited any reaction from him, let alone policy change. Even the protestors at townhalls for Republican Congress reps were brushed aside.

You're being incredibly dismissive to suggest that an ordinary Palestinian has the ability to change Hamas's position on anything, and entirely devoid of caring to your fellow human to say that the Palestinian children deserve to starve to death.

I don't think there's going to be much luck opposing AlPAC, Christian zionists, the military industrial complex, and racists. They have too much collective power and money. Another Holocaust is inevitable.

Well you can't blame people for feeling hostile towards white supremacist colonial settlers coming from Poland or Ukraine or Brooklyn or Miami and displacing the indigenous population which has been there for centuries. Occupied people have a right to self- defense and that right is forfeited by the occupier. This is both international law and common sense.

Donate to World Central Kitchen. They're on the frontlines in so many war zones, and even though they posted about having to halt their work now that their supplies have run out in Gaza, perhaps Israel will see reason and compassion and let in humanitarian aid again. This is the same organization who has had 7 volunteers accidentally killed by Israeli forces while during their humanitarian work in Gaza.

Won't Israel just bomb these humanitarian organizations if they attempt to deliver food? They went as far as to bomb a boat delivering food way off in international waters so why wouldn't they also attack any other humanitarian organization that gets in the way of their forced starvation plan.

I have no idea what the Israeli Government would do. Yes, many aid workers have been killed in Gaza. But when they are not killed, they're doing the work of angels, and they're not standing by idly as people starve to death in a 21st century world with plenty of food.

They’ll bomb them and bury their trucks with the food and dead people in them. They’ve proven to tube capable of that.

They are no longer letting aid go through

Well I guess that gives you a good excuse to do nothing but complain about the Jews. Certainly don't reach out to your elected officials to tell them this matters to you. By all means don't protest outside the WH - or donate to WCK. Just complain here.
