Nazi Israel is a virulent cancer that must be obliterated. Zionism is a fatal disease.

An elegant portrayal of the contrast between simple people living beautiful lives and anguished people living destructive lives. Elevates the destruction of the Palestinians to another level, if it can go higher -- why molest people who are great neighbors, who nourish and care for the land and add to the peace and harmony we all relish? Not just a land grab. Something sadistic about settler behavior.

The levels of evil are truly astounding. The story of these shepherds and farmers are so relatable to my own agrarian roots. Meanwhile, the UN, the ICC and countries like Türkiye do nothing, and it seems all we can do is weep and gnash our teeth. Yet this stands as more damning evidence for the historical record--all counterweights of propoganda not withstanding. Bearing witness to pain and evil is so very important.

That's two of us, Diane! Plus I get stomach cramps from reading the sadistic things those monsters have been doing to the Palestinians for decades. They can never cry the blues about the mistreatment and for some of the detainees or inmates at the infamous "austerity" camps, "capital punishment" by the warped and fanatical zealot S S guards authorized (secretly) by the neocon government of the Third Reich. That would be the "pot calling the kettle black" after what they are doing to the indigenous people of Palestine and now Lebanon. None of the Arab nations in the Middle East tried helping them as their governments are corrupt, and neither has Europe or the Zionist/ and usury specialists running US foreign policy. They make sure, with $$$

payoffs to our morally bankrupt Congress and White House, the continuation of our tax dollars and weapons of mass destruction going to Israel for the barbaric inhumanity. The same goes for the Jewish "influenced" ($$$) politicians in Europe for condoning the Palestinian Holocaust and probably the new one in Lebanon. Money talks!

Welcome to the "new" Dark Ages, 21st century style!

Cara, I am reading through all of your articles. Thank you for your keen observations and sensitive honesty in presenting the profoundly human culture of the non-Zionist West Bank and Jerusalem. The history and violence of the Zionist project can really only be understood in any meaningful way from the experiences of its victims and the people who have a deep history of love for this land and of their own Palestinian diversiity. These stories reveal , among other things, the degreee to which almost everything we hear from Zionists about Palestinians is a projection of their own worst habits and attitudes, their endless submersion into cruelty , rape, and the slaughter of innocents..

May the Zionist project and its imperial enabler fail, may their thefts be reversed, their banks fail, and their computers fry, may they reap the violence they sow, may they repent and cry out for the mercy they so desperately need.

Thanks for this, Cara. I had to look up about 10 things to see any 2024 news of Vivien Sansour [had forgotten her name]. Figured out recently how to get on X, but it looks like I'd of been better off getting on Instagram...at least to get anything recent from Vivien.
