My Empathy

[marble falls]

1. My sentiments exactly.

[sandensea]

2. Well said. There are only two individuals making people anti-Israel:

[erronis]

4. Both with active investigations into their corruption.

Both needing propping up by their paid-for lackeys in the knesset/congress.

I understand that the russkis are funding the NRA and thus dump.

I know the USofA is funding Israel, but who is adding to the pot? Hobby-Lobby and the End-Times Gang?

[sandensea]

6. And both their countries would do themselves a great favor by dumping them.

It wouldn't solve deep-seated problems like corruption and abuses; but it would be a major step in the right direction.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. I'd put it this way.

It wouldn't solve them, but you are never going to solve that rat's nest with those two in power. The things that need to be solved under a new US administration are way too numerous to mention here....but, same story. Not going to happen with Pee Diddle in power.

The journey of a thousand miles.

11. Two mafia gangsters make a pack.

[FiveGoodMen]

12. Well ... them and everyone who voted for them

[Duppers]

3. Bravo!

7. Couldn't agree more! nt

[murielm99]

8. I have always tended to be more

pro-Israeli. Of course, that comes with some caveats. I believe there should be a two state solution. I know it is not as simple as saying the words.

Moving that embassy was monstrous, just monstrous. Right now, I agree with the OP. I am pro-human. That is all.

[Still In Wisconsin]

9. This Jew says "Zaier shain gezogt"

This translates to "very well put" or "well spoken."

[Paka]

10. Amen!

[Demsrule86]

13. +1000...those who defend this are wrong.

[malaise]

14. +1,000

[Chemisse]

15. I heartily agree.

They are an oppressed people and our nation supports the oppressors.

17. and all the Syrian kids living in the slums of Lebanon

and those who stayed behind to suffer daily attacks, lots of need for empathy when fascists run the world.

[Marthe48]

18. Thank you for posting this

I wonder how many humans have to die before humans are tired of war and killing?

[Caliman73]

20. Unfortunately, those who benefit most from war do not usually fight or lose anything.

And they are very good at exploiting reasons (religion, politics, resources, ideology, skin color, patriotism, nationalism, jingoism etc...) to make other people want to fight each other.

[Marthe48]

24. I know

I keep hoping for something different.

[Wednesdays]

31. The shrewdest among them play both sides

Even going so far as to sell arms to all belligerents.

[Paladin]

21. Well said. (nt)

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. FUCK YEAH!!

[smirkymonkey]

23. +1000

28. After What I've Seen I Wanna Join The Peace Corps

[S.E. TN Liberal]

29. Liberals have empathy;

conservatives have no clue what it is.

If you don't have empathy you can hardly be a Democrat.

conservatives feel that oppressors need to have free reign to spread their hate.

30. K&R!

32. That is a quote from David Harris-Gershon from 2014

Author of: What Do You Buy the Children of the Terrorist who Tried to Kill Your Wife?: A Memoir

David Harris-Gershon and his wife, Jamie, moved to Jerusalem full of hope. Then, mere days after Israel thwarted historic cease-fire negotiations among the Palestinians, a bomb ripped open Hebrew University’s cafeteria. Jamie’s body was sliced with shrapnel; the friends sitting next to her were killed.

33. Thanks for the link.

And the story.

[PatSeg]

34. Thank you

That says it so well. I see people feeling like they have to preface their outrage about Gaza with, "I am not anti-Semitic". The murder of innocent, unarmed people should not be controversial.

[heaven05]

36. trump and

netanyahu both love the blood of innocents shed in their name...they are evil human beings

[Ohioboy]

37. Exactly!

[Uncle Joe]

38. Kicked and recommended.
