Michael Moore on Gaza: 'We need to stop the slaughter' | UpFront 

The US destabilized Iraq. Yes the Dictator Saddam Hussein was horrible. But there were no insurgencies while he was in power. Now Iraq needs the US on the ground for support. And the Iraqi government is still corrupt.

It was the Dual-Citizenship Neocons in the Whitehouse enacting the first part a secret plan to Balkanize Iraq and Iran using US Blood and Treasure made by Netanyahu and his ilk as Stephen Sniegoski showed.

Don't forget USA had a trial for the leader before they hung him 😉

General Wesley Clark exposed the Iraq invasion was already drawn up before 9/11. They had plans go to war with 7 nations in the Middle East but needed a catalyst that would get the US public on board: Just like was drafted in the PNAC Doctrine…. 9/11 was their (neocons) catalyst… their “new Pearl Harbour”.

And the criminals Bush and Blair have not been charged for mass destruction.

Why the hypocrisy? And double standards?!

because bias

Because the United States wants it that way.

It’s 10,000 “detained” prisoners now. Was 4000 before Oct 7. At least I read that recently…

In a nutshell, the truth of the matter is, 75 years ago, Israelis grabbed Palestinian land. They killed or chased them away from their ancestral homes...ever since, the Palestinians have been trying to get their homes and land back from the Squatters/Israelis, but they have been powerless because the thug government of the USA are helping the Israelis by providing 14 billion dollars (US tax payers' money) in arms and ammunition and everything else to the Israelis to rob Palestinian land.

Wouldn't you do the same, try to get your home/land back, if someone robbed it from you?

so-called democracy...

The Zionist Entity occupying Palestine is a Settler-Colonialist Crusader State with an Apartheid-like social regime. The USA pretends to be the world's first democracy when in fact before 1964 it was denying the vote to the Afro-Americans and implementing segregation etc. and whilst in the more distant past it was massacring and exterminating native peoples whose lands they stole.

A 2 legged JEW HATING 💩

EXACTLY!

Michael Moore is a nice man, very intelligent, and about as good as it gets on the American Left; but I think his perspective on this issue is inadequate. People like this tend to romanticize protest movements and ignore their darker undercurrents. It strikes me that right-wing reactionary xenophobia and adherence to a dead religion which makes sin 'respectable' (that is, islam) lie at the CORE of Palestinian 'resistance' since 100 years ago. If Palestinian Christian go along with this agenda, I think they are makin g the same error which we Western Christians have often made, which is to put country ahead of faith. God's kingdom will last forever, but every human regime will fail someday. Without a Biblical understanding of Israel's significance in world history, one totally misses the broader context in which it was re-established as a nation in 1948, having lost its political independence in 586 B.C. but maintained some kind of consistent ientoty despite dispersion and exile. This phenomenon of srvival and quasi-resurrection is a singularity in historical terms, whixh defies all human logic. The extraordinary fact is that it was prophesied in Hebrew Scripture centuries before Jesus Christ came upon t The phenomenon of Israel's return cannot be chalked up to political machinations alone, nor to accident, nor to a 'mistake', nor to a successful conspiracy, because that conspiracy would have had to be coordinated across millennia. Delegitimization of Israel, and for some eradication of a Jewish presence in the region, is what Palestinain nationalism is all about. I know of no redeeming unselfish features. Not that the physical security of Palestinians doesn't matter, but they often put themselves in harm's way, or their leaders put them in harm's way, for which there is no excuse.

All Hamas' fault. Are you even aware that Hamas' command post lies beneath one of Gaza's largest hospital?

​@sunnywynn56 you mean in terrorist basement?

Its miniscule compared to most wars. 10k palestinians dead. A million afghanis where killed over the course of the war in afghanistan. 2 million german civilians were killed in ww2

What do you think about the slaughter of innocent israelis?

Your right the slaughter we witnessed by Hamas was not only horrific by a heinous crime.

Pause. For what? So killings will go on when their stomachs full? Unreal!

He said don't make the mistakes. Meaning, be smarter, take your time. He never said stop the war or set a red line. Israel has the right to defend itself. Now Israel did say if Hamas returned all hostages that it would cease fire. So far, nothing.

No, Biden gave them what they needed to defend themselves. Hamas was firing thousands of rockets to overwhelm iron dome and the US replenished it. Today the Biden administration asked Israel to stop so we can get humanitarian help in and support the innocent. Israel said no not until hostages released

​@lionheart4u2love Israel concern with hostages is because the negotiation will suspend the bombing not because they value even the Israel citizens' life itself

Absolutely nothing of comparison to what’s happening in Israel.

💯 !!! I'm also of indigenous descent and I have visited Israel. Coming from a marginalized group, I could tell right away when I was there who is the oppressor and who is being oppressed. All you have to do is look at the difference in the living standards between the settlers and the Palestinians, see whose lives are being controlled, who can only live confined to certain areas, who takes the worst and lowest paying jobs. I am appalled at how the US media has been manipulating the narrative in favor of the oppressor, and it is beyond infuriating that my tax dollars are going to support this oppression and genocide.

Ur giving Netanhayu too much credit. He blew it.

Oct 7 was a false flag staged by Isteal, so obviously.

Yes. They ignored it ON PURPOSE to steal more land!!

Israel elected a fascist in Benjamin’s N. Granted killing people the way Hamas did is horrific. That’s about 1,400 people while ISREAL has inflicted genocide on the Palestinians well over 17,000 deaths and countless others requiring hospitalizations.

A leader of Hamas, in a statement to some News corporations concerning the cost and digging of tunnels, is for the protection of the fighting forces of Hamas. He continued by stating that 75% of the population of Gazza are migrants, and it is up to the UN to care for them. No need to say that Hamas are the Arab state.
