Chris Hedges - This Way for the Genocide, Ladies and Gentlemen

[AloeVera]

117. Thank you

This is my first reply on DU as I have just joined. I hope I will not be banned for speaking my mind here though my opinion seems to be unpopular here. Your response is one of the few I have seen here that reflects concern for the Palestinians' lives. I am aghast and sick to my stomach at the facile responses here in regards to the fate of the 2+ million civilians as well as the ignorance of their ongoing plight and oppression.

I have lurked on DU for years and years and consider it my first source of information on U.S. politics. I had agreed with most of the thinking and views of people here. DU was my refuge, where I could find solace and comfort in the face of the madness of Trumpism.

Now I just don't know if this really is my tribe or some alien species masquerading as such. I don't recognize posters I have admired for a long time. I am heartbroken.

Thank you again. I wholeheartedly agree!
