U.S. & EU Have Massive Blood on Their Hands 8/18/2025

                             U.S. & EU Have Massive Blood on Their Hands

Nicholas Kristof is right: American support for Israel in this war is both a moral and practical failure. Morally, the U.S. and its European allies have enabled a humanitarian catastrophe. By sending weapons and shielding Israel diplomatically, they are complicit in the mass killing, displacement, and starvation of civilians in Gaza. No invocation of Hamas’s crimes excuses policies that deliberately block food, flatten neighborhoods, and destroy hospitals.
Practically, this policy is failing on its own terms. Hamas has not been eliminated, many hostages remain unrescued, and Israel is more isolated than ever. Rather than securing peace, American and European backing has fueled radicalization, widened the conflict, and eroded the West’s global credibility.
The U.S. and EU cannot claim to defend democracy and human rights while financing collective punishment. They must end unconditional military aid, demand a cease-fire and hostage release, and ensure unimpeded humanitarian relief. Anything less leaves massive blood on their hands.

Learning From Norway: Time to Embrace Electric Vehicles 8/17/2025

                     Learning From Norway: Time to Embrace Electric Vehicles

America should take a hard look at how other countries are racing ahead in the transition to clean energy. In Norway, 76 percent of all new cars sold are electric, thanks to strong policies that discourage fossil fuel use and make electric vehicles affordable and convenient. The result is a cleaner environment, less dependence on oil, and a transportation system that actually aligns with climate goals.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to drag its feet. Our auto industry clings to gas-guzzlers while policymakers talk endlessly but act timidly. If we are serious about tackling climate change, we must move aggressively toward electric vehicles. That means expanding charging infrastructure, providing real incentives for consumers, and yes—allowing cheaper Chinese EVs to compete in the American market. Protectionism only slows progress while the planet burns.
The path forward is clear: break our addiction to fossil fuels and open the doors to innovation, no matter where it comes from. The stakes are too high for half measures.

Stop Enabling Israel’s massive war Crimes 8/16/2025

                        Stop Enabling Israel’s  massive war Crimes

Israeli settlers are carrying out record levels of terror in the West Bank—burning homes, seizing land, and brutalizing Palestinians—while in Gaza, deliberate starvation and relentless bombing kill children daily. Children are no threat to Israel, yet they are slaughtered with impunity.
The hypocrisy of the United States and its allies is staggering. They denounce Russia’s assault on Ukraine as barbaric, yet fund, arm, and defend Israel’s campaign of terrorism, mass murder, and hunger against Palestinians. Worse, they attempt to silence criticism of Israeli policy by smearing it as antisemitism, conflating the crimes of a government with an entire people.
All Americans and their allies in Europe must demand Israel open its borders and allow Gaza to be flooded with food and medical aid under U.N. control. The siege and brutal occupation must end. Funding and arms shipments to Israel must stop, and an arms embargo imposed. Prime Minister Netanyahu should surrender to the International Criminal Court to face charges for massive war crimes.
Western complicity in these atrocities has shredded any claim to moral authority. History will remember who stood by and who spoke out.

Truth Cannot Be Softened Before God 8/14/2025

                            Truth Cannot Be Softened Before God

The Trump administration’s decision to soften its annual human rights report, muting criticism of Israel’s brutal occupation and downplaying the abuses of El Salvador’s security forces, is more than political bias—it is moral bankruptcy. When leaders manipulate truth to protect allies, they become accomplices to the crimes they conceal.
The suffering of Palestinians under military occupation and the victims of state violence in El Salvador are not “issues to be reworded.” They are human tragedies demanding truth, accountability, and action. By whitewashing these abuses, the administration mocks the very principles of justice and human rights it claims to uphold.
No nation is above the laws of God. The killing of innocents, the oppression of the poor, and the abuse of the powerless are not just violations of international law—they are sins that cry out to Heaven. Those who commit, defend, or conceal such acts would do well to remember that there is a Day of Judgment when worldly power and political expedience will offer no shield.
God’s justice is perfect, and His memory is unfailing. Every act of cruelty, every falsehood, every betrayal of the truth will be laid bare. The fires of hell await all who trample upon human dignity and violate His commands.
You may avoid the condemnation of men for a season, but you will not escape the judgment of the Almighty.

Israel is the tail wagging the dog 8/12/2025

Starvation, Slaughter, and Silencing the Truth in Gaza 8/12/2025

                     Starvation, Slaughter, and Silencing the Truth in Gaza

In just 24 hours, Israeli attacks have killed at least 89 Palestinians in Gaza, including 31 people shot or bombed while seeking food. Five more — two of them children — have died from famine and malnutrition due to Israel’s ongoing blockade, bringing the known starvation toll to at least 227. Even “safe zones” like al-Mawasi, repeatedly targeted, offer no refuge.
This latest wave of death is compounded by Israel’s targeted killing of journalists. Among the dead is Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, one of Gaza’s most prominent reporters, along with five colleagues, murdered in a strike outside Al-Shifa Hospital. The UN Secretary-General and press freedom groups have condemned these assassinations, calling for an independent investigation. Yet Palestinian journalists vow the truth will not be silenced, even if “1,000 are killed.”
While governments wring their hands, Norway has taken meaningful action — divesting its $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund from 11 Israeli companies complicit in the Gaza assault. If only other nations, especially those arming Israel, would follow.
Starvation, indiscriminate killing, and the destruction of a free press are not acts of self-defense — they are crimes against humanity. Silence, or worse, continued support for Israel’s military machine, makes accomplices of us all.

Europe’s Hypocrisy on Gaza and the West Bank 8/11/2025

                               

European leaders publicly express anguished sorrow over the horrific loss of life in Gaza, yet their actions reveal deep hypocrisy. For decades, Europe has continued to supply Israel with weapons and military aid, enabling not only the devastating assaults on Gaza but also the ongoing settler terrorism and brutal occupation in the West Bank. This deadly support has persisted since Israel’s founding in 1948, making Europe complicit in systemic violence and oppression.
At the same time, anyone who dares to criticize Israel’s actions is quickly branded an anti-Semite and criminalized, effectively silencing legitimate dissent and obstructing justice. Despite tearful statements and hollow condemnations, not a single courageous European voice demands an end to the occupation or a halt to the flow of arms fueling endless suffering.
The blockade starving Gaza continues with Europe’s silent acquiescence, while millions of Palestinians face starvation, displacement, and destruction. Europe’s crocodile tears must be met with urgent calls for real action: a complete halt to weapons transfers to Israel, an end to the occupation, and a massive humanitarian response to flood Gaza with food, medicine, and aid. Anything less is complicity in this ongoing tragedy and a betrayal of human rights and international law.

Israel’s War on Truth: The Assassination of Gaza’s Journalists 8/11/2025

                              Israel’s War on Truth: The Assassination of Gaza’s Journalists

On August 11, Israeli forces assassinated five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza — correspondent Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Moamen Aliwa, and assistant Mohammed Noufal — in a direct airstrike on a media tent outside Al-Shifa Hospital. Al Jazeera condemned the killings as a “desperate attempt to silence voices” exposing Israel’s planned seizure and occupation of Gaza. The attack followed public threats against al-Sharif, denounced by U.N. Special Rapporteur Irene Khan as baseless; she is now calling for sanctions.
These murders are part of a grim pattern — Gaza officials report 238 journalists killed by Israel over the past 22 months. Palestinian journalist Ibrahim Abu Moussa stated that killing reporters will not stop the truth, only strengthen the resolve to expose Israel’s crimes.
The killings come amid a humanitarian catastrophe: over 220 people, including more than 100 children, have starved to death. Even humanitarian aid drops have turned deadly — 15-year-old Muhannad Eid was killed when a food pallet fell on him as he sought desperately needed supplies.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands in Tel Aviv, and protesters worldwide, are demanding an end to Netanyahu’s expansion of the Gaza war. Yet, Israeli settlers continue killing Palestinians in the West Bank with impunity.
Targeting journalists is a war crime. The U.S. and its allies must hold Israel accountable or stand guilty of enabling the deliberate erasure of truth and life in Gaza.

Grotesque Game: Netanyahu’s Deliberate Starvation of Gaza’s Children 8/9/2025

                            Grotesque Game: Netanyahu’s Deliberate Starvation of Gaza’s Children

The famine gripping Gaza is not a tragedy of chance—it is a calculated act of evil. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is orchestrating this starvation, deliberately blocking life-saving food and aid while civilians—mostly children—waste away. Families who approach the few, grossly inadequate food distribution centers face not relief, but death, as Israeli forces kill them in what has become a grotesque, inhumane game.
This is not war; it is the systematic targeting of the innocent through hunger and bullets. The moral outrage is compounded by the complicity of global powers. President Donald Trump and his administration, and the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy have all enabled this charade—arming, funding, and politically shielding those who starve and murder civilians.
To watch a child die of hunger is to witness the ultimate insult to God and humanity. To cause it is a sin beyond words. History will not forgive those who stood by, made excuses, or profited from this atrocity.
Like the most shameful crimes of the last century, this will be remembered as a dark stain on our age. The world will one day speak of Gaza’s starving children in the same breath as history’s greatest atrocities—and the names of those who allowed it will be forever cursed.

Gaza’s people face a catastrophe 8/8/2025

 Today, Gaza’s people face a catastrophe of historic proportions: forced displacement, deliberate starvation, and relentless bombardment. Hundreds of thousands teeter on the edge of famine. Children go to sleep hungry, wake up hungrier, and too many never wake up at all. The gates to their survival—Israel’s borders—remain closed to the massive shipments of food, medicine, and shelter materials they so urgently need, with trucks laden with food & other aid rotting at the border. Gaza is now resembling a Nazi concentration camp.

I call on all Americans to pierce through the silence and complacency that have allowed this tragedy to unfold. I implore you to speak forcefully—unapologetically—on behalf of the Palestinian people. Call for an immediate halt to all weapons deliveries and sales to Israel. Demand that Israel open its borders to allow life-saving aid to enter Gaza at scale, without conditions or delay.
History will remember those who stood for justice when it was most dangerous and most necessary. Your voice, raised now, could help end unspeakable suffering and restore a measure of hope to a people who have known only despair.

Plastics, a Global Threat: .8/8/2025

                                                      Plastics, a Global  Threat:

________________________________________
Plastics Can Lead to Disease, Disability & Premature Death,” offers a vital wake-up call. As the research indicates, the pervasive nature of plastics isn’t merely an environmental concern—it has become a significant risk to human health.
Emerging evidence reveals that plastics, particularly microplastics and their associated chemicals, may contribute to a wide array of health issues. These range from hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders to chronic illnesses and even early mortality. Such findings underscore the alarming potential of plastics to cause disease, disability, and premature death.
Despite their ubiquity—in consumer products, food packaging, and environmental pollution—the full extent of plastics' health impacts remains underappreciated. This lack of awareness can delay critical public health interventions and policies aimed at reducing exposure.
Given the gravity of the threat, it is imperative for policymakers, industry leaders, and the public to take concerted action. Solutions might include stronger regulations on plastic production, increased funding for health-centered research, and widespread public education about reducing personal exposure.

Another Holocaust, Funded by U.S. and Europe 8/7/2025

                                  Another Holocaust, Funded by U.S. and Europe

Four more Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza, while Israeli settlers—backed by their government—violently attack aid convoys from Jordan. Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders has called for the closure of Gaza’s humanitarian aid sites, calling Israel’s system of restricted and manipulated aid “orchestrated killing.” This is not a war. It is the slow, deliberate extermination of a trapped population.
As if this weren’t horrific enough, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has convened his security cabinet to plan a full military takeover of Gaza. The aim is unmistakable: permanent occupation, total destruction of Palestinian life and infrastructure, and erasure of Palestinian identity.
In the West Bank, Israeli forces blocked mourners from attending the funeral of Odeh Hadalin, whose body had just been returned by Israeli authorities—another insult on top of endless injury.
This is a Holocaust unfolding in real time—funded and armed by U.S. and European taxpayers. The bombs, the bullets, and the siege are paid for with our money. Our governments have become complicit in a campaign of annihilation.
Every American and European must raise their voice now. Silence is collaboration. There is no neutrality in genocide.
We said “Never again.” That promise is meaningless unless it applies to everyone, everywhere. If we fail to act now—to cut off arms, to demand sanctions, to insist on justice—then we are not only watching another Holocaust. We are helping carry it out.

Eight more Palestinians 8/5/2025

 Eight more Palestinians, including seven children, have starved to death in Gaza—bringing the hunger toll to 188. This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is a calculated campaign of extermination. Israel is allowing only 86 trucks of food and aid into Gaza per day—far below the 600 needed to sustain over 2 million people. Children are dying slow, preventable deaths while the world watches. This is Gaza’s Warsaw Ghetto. This is Bergen-Belsen. This is Treblinka—reborn under the direction of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Hitler of the Middle East.

Israeli airstrikes killed 87 more Palestinians in a single day, including 52 seeking aid. Over 150,000 have been wounded since October 2023. Now, Netanyahu plans to fully occupy Gaza, even as Israeli media reports that hostages are starving. But why wouldn't they be? Israel is starving everyone.
In the West Bank, Israeli settlers—with full military backing—continue to torch Palestinian homes and bulldoze crops. Just days ago, another American citizen, Khamis Ayyad, died from asphyxiation after settlers set fire to cars outside his home. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson responded—not with outrage—but by visiting an illegal settlement and declaring the land “rightful property of the Jewish people.”
Meanwhile, over 40 peaceful protesters were arrested in New York for daring to demand an end to this horror. Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari said it best: “Let Gaza live… Never again.”
The world swore “never again” after the Holocaust. But again is now—and we are funding it.

This Is Our War: America’s Responsibility in Gaza’s Genocide" 8/4/2025

                       This Is Our War: America’s Responsibility in Gaza’s Genocide"

In a powerful recent interview, Palestinian American scholar Rashid Khalidi makes it plain: the U.S. is not a bystander in Gaza—it is a central actor. “It is our war,” Khalidi says, highlighting the direct American complicity in what is increasingly recognized worldwide as a genocide.
The weapons used to flatten homes, hospitals, schools, and entire neighborhoods are made in the United States and paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Israel could not sustain its ongoing assault on Palestinians without the political, military, and financial support of the U.S. government. As Khalidi notes, Israel acts with impunity precisely because it enjoys ironclad protection from Washington.
What we are witnessing is not self-defense—it is mass destruction and collective punishment. Over 30,000 a gross undercount)  people have been killed, most of them civilians, including thousands of children. This would not be possible without U.S. complicity.
Americans must confront an uncomfortable truth: our government is enabling atrocities in real time. Ending the genocide in Gaza requires more than statements of concern. It demands action—immediate suspension of military aid to Israel, an arms embargo, and full support for international investigations into war crimes. Demand  Israel open the borders to flood Gaza with foo, water and other aid and allow international reporters to expose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s propaganda war.

David French is right 8/4/2025

 David French is right—Israel must open its eyes. But so must we. For far too long, the lives of Palestinians have been treated as disposable. This did not begin on October 7 or even in 1967. It dates back to 1948, when Zionist militias—funded and politically shielded by the U.S. and U.K.—waged a campaign of terror to create Israel atop Palestinian villages reduced to rubble. Israel was born of terror, and Western powers were complicit.

To this day, that legacy of dispossession continues. Gaza is an open-air prison subjected to ceaseless bombardment, its children starved and slaughtered with weapons stamped "Made in the USA." The West Bank is being eaten alive by settler terrorism, backed by a brutal occupation and defended by morally bankrupt allies—America, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.
Let us stop parroting the line that "Israel has a right to exist" while ignoring the even more basic truth: Palestinians have the right to live. To live free of occupation. Free of collective punishment. Free of Western-enabled slaughter. And yes, they have a right to defend themselves, just as any people would under siege.
No God will reward safety built atop a mountain of lies and blood. It’s time to end this hypocrisy. The world must stop enabling Israel’s crimes and finally stand for the humanity of the Palestinian people.

Nowhere Left to Hide in Gaza 8/3/2025

                                                       Nowhere Left to Hide in Gaza


The recent Israeli airstrike that obliterated a seaside resort in central Gaza—once a rare refuge for civilians—marks another horrifying chapter in Israel’s campaign of collective punishment. At least 25 people, many of them women and children, were killed while seeking shelter from the unrelenting bombardment. Survivors described shredded tents, body parts scattered on the beach, and the cries of children buried under rubble. The sheer barbarity of the Israeli Defense Forces’ actions cannot be overstated.
The IDF claims they were targeting militants, yet offers no evidence. Witnesses, however, insist all the victims were civilians. These are not military operations—they are acts of terror, a systematic campaign of extermination thinly veiled in the language of “self-defense.”
What is equally appalling is the silence from the U.S. and European media, who too often regurgitate Israel’s propaganda while ignoring the voices of survivors. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu, the “liar-in-chief,” escalates these atrocities to distract from his own corruption trials and cling to power. He is sacrificing Palestinian lives to save his own political skin.
If the world continues to turn a blind eye—if we allow the myth of "precision strikes" to mask the reality of mass murder—then we are complicit. There is no refuge left in Gaza, no safe harbor for its children. Only the rubble of broken promises and international cowardice.

Huckabee a cheerleader for genocide 8/3/2025

                                   Huckabee a cheerleader for genocide

Mike Huckabee’s blind, belligerent defense of Israel amid its annihilation of Gaza is not an act of faith—it is a moral disgrace. He cloaks himself in the language of Christianity and Judaism, yet spits on the very core of both religions. The slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, many of them children, is not a “war.” It is genocide. It is a modern-day Holocaust carried out against some of the most vulnerable people on Earth.
To call this righteous is to mock the Bible itself. No prophet would bless missiles falling on hospitals or sanctify bulldozers crushing refugee camps. No Christ or Moses would defend apartheid, starvation, or collective punishment. Yet Huckabee wraps these horrors in false piety, proving himself an enemy not just of Palestinians, but of America’s moral standing and the essence of both Christian and Jewish ethics.
What Huckabee defends is not Israel—it is tyranny, racism, and terror masquerading as divine will. In doing so, he betrays his own faith, poisons public discourse, and helps embolden war criminals.
If Huckabee had a shred of integrity, he would repent. But instead, he doubles down on propaganda and bloodlust. He should be removed from any platform of influence—political, religious, or media-related. His grotesque cheerleading for genocide is not only shameful, it is evil.

Gaza’s Children Are Dying of Hunger — The World Must Act 8/3/2025

                      Gaza’s Children Are Dying of Hunger — The World Must Act

The hunger-related death toll in Gaza has now reached 154, including 89 children. These are not just statistics — they represent innocent lives lost to a man-made catastrophe. Starvation, especially among children, is not an unavoidable consequence of war. It is a deliberate outcome of policies that block food, water, and humanitarian aid from reaching those in desperate need.
International law prohibits the use of starvation as a weapon of war, yet that is precisely what is happening. UN agencies and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that famine conditions are spreading across Gaza. The most vulnerable — infants, toddlers, pregnant women — are dying of malnutrition, dehydration, and preventable infections.
This should outrage every moral conscience. The silence and inaction of world powers, especially those arming and funding Israel, make them complicit in this ongoing atrocity. If we claim to care about human rights, we must demand an immediate end to the blockade, a massive humanitarian airlift and aid operation, and accountability for those responsible for engineering famine.
The children of Gaza are not our enemies. They are victims. And they are dying while the world looks away.
Let us not say we didn’t know. Let us act before more lives are lost.

"Britain and France Have Pledged to Recognize a Palestinian State. What Would It Mean?"

 The article "Britain and France Have Pledged to Recognize a Palestinian State. What Would It Mean?"  

by Ephrat Livni explores the growing momentum among Western nations—especially Britain and France—to formally recognize Palestinian statehood. While over 140 countries already recognize Palestine, these new pledges from key U.S. allies reflect mounting frustration with Israel’s war on Gaza and its continued occupation. Although symbolic, recognition could shift diplomatic dynamics, increase pressure on Israel, and isolate countries like the U.S. that still oppose recognition without a peace agreement. It may also boost Palestinian representation at international institutions and reflect changing global attitudes toward the conflict.

Shame on Britain, France, Germany, and Italy for continuing to prioritize political expediency over human rights. Their silence enables and accelerates Israel’s barbaric mass murder, starvation in Gaza, and terror attacks in the West Bank. History will remember not just those who acted—but also those who stood by and watched.

Biblical Teachings vs. Modern Practice: 8/2/2025

                              Biblical Teachings vs. Modern Practice:

1.      Love and Peace –
Jesus taught: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” (Luke 6:27)
Yet, many Christians support war, nationalism, or policies that harm immigrants and the poor—values that contradict Christ’s message of universal love.
2.      Wealth and Humility –
Jesus warned: “You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)
But prosperity gospel and materialism dominate many American churches today, focusing on wealth as a sign of divine favor.
3.      Truth and Integrity –
Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
Many Christian leaders now tolerate or spread misinformation for political gain, abandoning Christ’s emphasis on truth.
Gandhi once said, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
He urged Christians to truly follow Jesus’ teachings of nonviolence, compassion, and humility.
Guru Nanak taught, “God is Truth,” reminding all faiths that living truthfully, compassionately, and justly is the highest form of worship.
Conclusion:
Both Gandhi and Nanak call Christians back to their roots—not power or politics, but the radical love and truth that Jesus embodied.

A Moral Test for Trump—and for America 8/2/2025

                                    A Moral Test for Trump—and for America

Throughout history, American presidents have faced defining moral tests—whether to stand with justice or remain complicit in the face of grave human suffering. Franklin Roosevelt during the Holocaust, Lyndon Johnson during Vietnam, and more recently, Barack Obama during drone warfare—all were judged by how they responded to injustice.
Today, Donald Trump faces a similar test. As Israel continues its devastating assault on Gaza, leading to mass civilian casualties and starvation, the United States—through funding, weapons, and political cover—bears direct responsibility. Trump must now choose: will he support policies that perpetuate this man-made catastrophe, or will he break from the pattern of blind allegiance and call for an end to the bloodshed?
This is not just a test of Trump’s character—it is a test for all Americans. Will we remain silent in the face of crimes against humanity, or will we demand our leaders uphold the values of justice and human rights?
History remembers those who choose conscience over complicity. The world is watching. Let us hope Trump, and America, choose wisely. Time is fast running out.
Innocent victims are dying.

Most of the world already recognizes a Palestinian state. Just this past week, three more countries—all close U.S. allies—announced their readiness to join that growing consensus. These decisions reflect widespread frustration with Israel’s relentless war in Gaza and the failure of diplomacy to secure justice for Palestinians.

So why are France and Britain still hesitating? Worse, why are they using recognition of Palestine as a bargaining chip instead of a moral imperative? Their refusal to act decisively now—when over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed and millions displaced—speaks volumes about the West’s continued complicity.
The United States and Britain have a unique obligation to recognize a Palestinian state. Both countries provided billions in arms and diplomatic cover to support the displacement of Palestinians in 1948 and beyond—paralleling the forced removals of Native Americans in U.S. history. These are not just historical parallels but active legacies of injustice that continue to shape the present.
Recognition of a Palestinian state is not a radical gesture—it is a necessary step toward justice, accountability, and peace. It is time for France, Britain, and especially the United States to stop delaying and start leading.

Jon Stewart, Peter Beinart Speak Truth on Israel’s Far-Right Policies 8/1/2025

                  Jon Stewart, Peter Beinart Speak Truth on Israel’s Far-Right Policies

Jon Stewart, the brilliant satirist behind The Daily Show, recently delivered one of the most searing critiques of Israel’s far-right government in recent memory. Joined by journalist and scholar Peter Beinart, Stewart highlighted the deepening authoritarianism under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—calling out the Israeli government’s anti-democratic actions and brutal treatment of Palestinians.
Beinart powerfully reminded viewers that Palestinian leaders have repeatedly attempted nonviolent resistance—through diplomacy, petitions to the International Criminal Court, and peaceful protests. Yet each time, their efforts have been met with indifference or violent repression. He noted the world’s double standard: when Palestinians resist with nonviolence, they are ignored; when violence erupts, they are condemned.
Stewart’s segment was not just a critique of Israeli policy but a broader indictment of media complicity and silence. His courage to amplify voices like Beinart’s—despite fierce backlash—shows that honest conversation about Israeli policies is both necessary and long overdue.
At a time when far-right forces dominate Israeli politics and suppress dissent, it is essential that media outlets and public figures speak out for justice, democracy, and human rights for all people
