So right. Genocide is the ultimate evil. Let’s get our heads on straight. That Israel is the perpetrator makes it somehow more evil. as if that is possible. I stand with you.

As much as I loved Jasmine Crockett’s true statements in Congress, just couldn’t get past her support of Israel. All the performative stuff from so many like the record long speech from Cory Booker. We’ve all necessarily had to learn to recognize and differentiate “performative” from “actionable”

Here is a worthwhile stack to follow, for up-to-date info about the ongoing genocidal actions by Netanyahu, IDF, and the rabid Zionist settlers: https://infinitejaz.substack.com/p/lay-down-and-die

I like the push back, the genocide has made me sick for my whole 78 year long life, and I can't observe too much of the wrong doing by the IDF etc.. I just have a hard time with people who were so abused learning to be abusive themselves, and thinking it is OK. 2000 years Jews have been exposed to the "love your neighbor" idea, and that is long enough to give up on the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" idea, but what they are doing goes so very far beyond even revenge, and is pure terror.

About a list from our writers that don’t support the genocide.. instead of asking each creator?? It’s been hard figuring it out by myself😟. But I do try to notice those that don’t talk about Israel or bibi…are things that make you go hmmm. I was all in my support for Ukraine till they started working w Israel.. now I’m just confused.

Absolutely!

Sources? The terminology in use now began with Latin. Not just a PhD, smart guy. A PhD from Harvard with study at Oxford and Dartmouth. And the war colleges. Jealous?

Gerhard Torges's avatar

Sorry, @Frederic Poag, but this is just WRONG.

Frederic Poag's avatar

Yeah it’s not. Genocide is wrong. Demanding people stand against genocide is the opposite of wrong. It’s the right thing to do.

Can’t I simply subscribe to Die Sturmer? Speaking as a Jew and a Zionist, I find this deplorable. Go shop at wal-mart for a cut rate kuffiyeh.

Frederic Poag's avatar

Can't really tell which side you're on but the bigotry at the end gives me a good idea.

Pro-tip. Be more clear with your writing.

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

A PhD in English, an NEH grant, 30 books published internationally, 120 short stories published, and major award nominations. Go try to patronize a tradwife.

Frederic Poag's avatar

Ohhhh! I see you have a Paid subscription to the jackass who posted his Zionist rant and then blocked me. 😂

No worries. No need to play any more guessing games. You’re just another fascist POS lying about who they are. 😂👋🫡

You won’t do well here Susan from Delusional St.

Frederic Poag's avatar

So are you a Zionist? Are you owning that blatantly racist statement you made about “cut rate kuffiyeh” at Wal Mart?

Since you listed all your pedigrees you should know better. Do you?

It’s not patronizing. It’s asking a simple question you should be able to answer.

Or are you too cowardly to answer those just like you’re too cowardly to show your face and post under your real name with all that oh so amazing pedigree?

Or you’re just another full of shit bigot who can’t bring herself to call a genocide a genocide?

Amy Jackson's avatar

jews, christians, and muslims all worship the same non-existent “god” who “tells” each group that they are “special”.

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

I’ve

Also attended briefings at the Army War College and spoken at West Point, the Naval War College, and the Air Force Academy. Eat your heart out.

Frederic Poag's avatar

I’m sure you have. 😂

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

I really think the invective is an attempt at aggression. You’re not very good. I have studied just war theory. Have you? Your vocabulary doesn’t extend much beyond POS and fascist. Really, did you even get a GED?

Frederic Poag's avatar

“I really think the invective is an attempt at aggression.” ROFL! Oh you think? You’ve cracked the case there Columbo. 😂

“You’re not very good at it.” Actually I am. You keep coming back for more don’t you? Shit and I haven’t felt the need to list my credentials once. 😂

This is fun! I love seeing fascists punch themselves in the face and pretend it hurts me. 😂🫡😘

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

Silly bully.

Frederic Poag's avatar

This is by far the most coherent comment you’ve posted. Kudos! 😂

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

Ran out of tradwives to patronize and the Bigit Brigade won’t play with you? Awwwwwe

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL what is it with you and trad wives? And you’re on my piece! LOL it’s not like I sought you out.

I know you’re a pick me fascist but let shit simmer a bit Susan. Damn! 😂

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL there’s zero fucking chance you’ve studied Just War Theory. Fuck off with your fake ass credentials. No one cares “Susan”. 😂

GTFO fucking fascist. 😂

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

The trick is to try to shut people up. You look ridiculous.

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL even if this is my last comment you’re still commenting on a piece I published helping me just traction for it. Sooooo great plan? 😂

Really showing us all that PhD huh?

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

Traction? Not if people read just how outclassed you are. Time to pay off the kuffiyeh you put on layaway at Wal Mart.

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL yeah this will be the thread that spurs my downfall. Holy fuck are you delusional.

And again with the Islamophobia? Really? Fucking hell this is just sad.

I’m done. Go be fascist. Keep commenting as you will.

Laura LaValley's avatar

A "Just" war is B.S. That's obviously from your old testament violent and vengeful "god." Go away zionist fascist. Your thinking is just as deplorable as the Nazis.

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

Look it up. Just war theory was originally written in Latin and began with St. Augustine. So you begin with ignorance and move to invective. What a smart woman you aren’t!

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL this again. Ummm no it didn't begin with Augustine. It has roots all way back to Ancient Egypt. Aristotle wrote about it. Socrates has a dialogue about it. Augustine was referencing Hellenic and Roman writers and put it in a model for Christianity.

But tell me based on your understanding of Augustine's Just War Theory how is Israel aligning with that? Seems to me they gone well beyond any limits Augustine would've allowed.

You sure you have a PhD? Did you buy it at a garage sale? LOL

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

The way you send out a barrage is a paltry attempt. It was my father who fought haters in WWII. Reading comprehension, please. Israel is retaliating for an act of terrorism and to destroy Hamas’s war fighting capabilities. Did you get a law degree off a matchbook? You push too hard for credibility.

Frederic Poag's avatar

Is Israel committing a genocide against the Palestinian people? Yes or no.

It’s really simple.

The fact you can’t answer that very simple question shows who you are.

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

I said no. You need to go back for lessons in reading comprehension.

Frederic Poag's avatar

There you go. Not buried in a bunch of equivocating bullshit and disingenuous pivots.

So you’re a fascist POS who is supporting a genocidal regime and I encourage everyone to boycott you.

If you think any of this falls under just war you’re sadly fucking mistaken. You’re just a morally broken human being. Keep being a fascist POS tho.

Susan LIVE From Mulberry St.'s avatar

Oh my goodness, name calling much? Quite the impressive and aggressive set of accusations. Of course, I am a proud Zionist. I also know the meaning of words like genocide. You don’t. Do I know better? By my standards not whatever hatred you’ve cobbled up.

My father fought Nazis at the Bulge as an army infantry officer. Lacking that hardship, I fight antiSemitic bullies online. Is your idea to be so verbally aggressive that I will STFU or run away? You’ve got the wrong quarry.

Frederic Poag's avatar

LOL so asking questions is bullying now?

Yeah I don’t care what your father did. I’m not talking about history talking about you, today right now supporting a genocide. Not here for the pivot.

Is what Israel’s doing to the Palestinians a genocide yes or no?

You’ve already hinted no but state it for the record. That’s what my whole piece is about.

Oh. I didn't know I was committing a genocide or supporting a genocide. I mean I certainly don't support the genocides the US commits especially the one they're supporting by unconditionally supporting the Third Reich. Shit sorry! Israel. I get those two confused these days because they're so similar.

They'd be ashamed of you if they could see you right now. What's happening in Gaza and Lebanon is an actual genocide.

Your "might" is for fascism. So get fucked you fascist POS.
