A Palestinian friend who lived in my neighborhood in the US is there now, in his family’s home. He said it was like 3 nights in a war zone.

Thanks for letting me know. The main URL somehow lost a period between www and nytimes. Don’t know what happened to the archive, but I just re-created it. Should be good now. :-)

Foolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.

I think that you’re missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it’s not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That’s solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.

These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people’s consciousness change.

I’m pretty sure that you can click by that and still read the full article.

Yes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian’s error came nowhere close to misinformation.

I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.

But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.

Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.

Massive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can’t imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.

thanks.

After reading further, I see your point. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into checking for the AMP pages. (Never heard of those before, haven’t done much with the web for quite a while.)

Yes, but there is also an archive version posted.

Thanks.

Yes, they are a marketing technique, but I don’t know of any other legal way to share them. Please give me any ideas you may have. Thanks.

Article contains info from interviews and internal documents of government officials from various countries.

The main point that I “got” is that you like to rant using lots of capital letters. (And I know that it is genocide, but understanding that is not absolutely necessary to act in favor of Palestine. Look at Bernie Sanders - he is a very critical, liberal Zionist, yet his actions in the Senate and his speeches have helped, not hurt, the Palestinian cause, in spite of his refusal to call it genocide.)

I agree that posting this without any clarifying critical comments was a mistake. But I still think it was worth posting for the reasons I stated in another post.

Yes, that’s true, but I thought that a pro-Israel Jewish US publication having an opinion piece favorable to Gaza was worth sharing. It helps to break down the demonization of Palestinians that is so widespread in the US.

It’s not an article that will give someone brilliant insights into the reality of Zionism, but it helps create space for discussion with a broader set of people.
