Well that's appalling, particularly the news of his visit with Trump.

If you can provide a list of products that this despicible host's companies distributes/sells I will be more than happy not to buy them.

I wish the large number of Jews that oppose this genocide had far greater visibility and their voices heard. Any chance you could interview some of the leaders of such groups?

In the past people have boycotted products coming from Israel in order to implement change for the people of Palestine, but it didn't. Think about it, all those bombs all that money coming from the good old USA, that is your money and mine. As they say the system, made up of the rich and the powerful , save their own.

I think boycotting Israeli madeproducts made a dent, just as I think denting this fellows profits would be worth the effort.

Sure we are paying for this war and have paid for every war back to 1776.

I am all for stopping such funding and if these govt fellows save their own, perhaps boycotting their funders may get their attention. worth the effort IMO :)

Well, it can't hurt and I participated in that, others did as well, and things went on as usual, and now we're dealing with a genocide. Not to mention all the death and destruction the US was willing to implement in our Middle Eastern wars for the benefit of Israel. People so adverse to our Middle Eastern wars during the reign of Bush/ Cheney did an about face during the Obama years and he was largely responsible for the destruction of Syria, Libya, and of course he implemented the coup in Ukraine, and do you hear people talking about it, giving him credit? The so called left in this country can swing right if their chosen are involved.

These are the people the great Israeli dissident Yeshayahu Leibowitz called Judeonazis. That is what they are. That is the name they deserve. It would be good for people to protest at or outside of this loathsome events carrying signs accusing these horrors of being Jewish nazis. It is not an exaggeration. They are paying for the extermination-by-starvation of Gaza's people. As effective as Hitler's gas chambers.

The kings and queens, of the past have simply been kicked off their thrones and replaced by the corporate elite, and financial institutions which now dictate policy and implement a facade of democracy. It's like living a lie. The genocide in Gaza which goes unchallenged, especially by our so called democracies display the barbarism characteristic of the past where the lives of most people mattered little, if at all.

Thank you Max for continuing to inform us about what is going on across the pond and elsewhere during these turbulent times.

In your introduction you said, "Ben Gvir is set to appear on April 25 at the home." However, the blue invitation you shared states that the event is this Sunday, April 27th.

There is NO difference between Ben-Gvir and those gang members Trump and his “Border Barbie” deported to El-Salvador.

Make it make sense!!

The whole “we need to starve the people of Gaza because this will put pressure on Hamas to release Israeli hostages” is so transparent.

Netanyahu and his crimson-mist-deranged cronies don't WANT the Israeli hostages released.

They've never wanted the Israeli hostages released - providing the powerful (purported) impetus as they do, to continue to justify their ever-escalating brutality.

Take that away, and you're left with violence for the sake of violence.

Two great recent views today;

An excellent article from the perspective of jewish writer Alon Mizrahi on everything wrong with the jewish outlook:

And thank you GZ and Max for staying the course.

Not all Jews in New York were happy with Ben-Gvir’s presence in their city.

At least some confronted him directly about it and demanded he leaves the city. This includes those who consider themselves as Zionists.

Here is a video of some of them confronting Ben-Gvir and addressing him directly in the only language he knows (barely): Hebrew.

(They speak Hebrew with a clear American accent so it’s unlikely these are people who travelled from Israel to confront him bur rather local American Jews)
