What incentive does Israel have to end the genocide? I mean what current incentive do they have? I don't see any.

According to scholars, this was their plan all along. I don’t know if you’ve seen this professor’s videos but he breaks it down.

I agree, the only end at this point is physical intervention, but that seems highly unlikely.

The desperation I feel over the images I’ve seen is impossible to put into words. I keep thinking if I continue to sound an alarm, especially at this 11th hour, help will come. Because we collectively would never let this continue, right? But we have, and children keep dying in the most horrific ways. And those that haven’t died have experienced trauma and grief bigger than the galaxy, and it will live with them the rest of their days.

I started working with kids in 2022 and my life changed for the better. I will never understand the justification and complicity of slaughtering these innocent and sensitive beings for the “sins of the father.” No matter where they live or who their government or religious leaders are or what atrocities the adults around them have committed, they are precious souls - not numbers, collateral damages or mass casualties of war.

I’m afraid that if we, in 2025, after all history has shown us, cannot draw a red line at the genocide of children, then we may indeed be a lost cause. I truly thought we were better than this. 💔

We people are, but it is the GOVERNMENTS that have failed the test.

The United Nations must rebuke both Israel and the United States. At some point the world needs to restructure the UN. Like the League of Nations, I think, it is not set up to deal with a very much post - WWII world. Especially the Security Council. think it needs to be disbanded. Big money from the very wealthy could help play a part in lawsuits. Victims' families need representation now not later. I hope some of our mega-rich will help. Sanctions and boycotts. Some are being activated in EU but we need more, all the way down to individual persons refusing to buy or sell to Israel. If I knew I was helping Isreal in any way with a purchase I would cease. I only wish I could deny them my tax dollars.

The BRICS nations together with the vast majority should reconstitute an international organization that actually carries out the original intent of the UN, but the structure with its veto power and "Security (sic) Council are lethal to its legitimate function . Start over!

The intent must be expanded worldwide. African nations and others must have an equal voice. No more colonial behavior. This UN was conceived as a European/American alliance. I think this is too much focused on what was. NATO is more functional for EU than UN. For the US it's a toy. Others need more say.

Yes, certainly so.

And sadly, Shaun, you and I both know why: because United States politicians are the most corrupt politicians on the globe. They are worse than Russia worse than China. They pocket money from Israel with no concern other than did they make a good deal for themselves.

End of discussion.👍🏿👏🏾.

The US is Israel's unlimited ATM. AIPAC ensures the votes for that money and weaponry stay in the pipeline.

Physical intervention is the only way to end this madness and I hope and pray there are many many people we can still save

The US is busy losing global standing on it's own. Sadly we have a president who'd prefer to align with Putin (speaking of global standing...). UN coalition forces need to go in. Thats all I can think that can stop this.

On second thought maybe OPEC nations could cut the US off, our reserves, strategic and in the ground are nothing compared to our appetite.

Put a stop to GHF

There’s a campaign to have the Delaware Attorney General, Kathy Jennings, dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which is incorporated in Delaware. The group DELPHR has launched an effort to put pressure on the Deleware Attorney general, with a letter-writing effort. You can do your part and sign on here:

national letter-writing tool which was created by the Center for Constitutional Rights.

"But the truth I’ve come to is this: unless a coalition of nations is willing to physically intervene, or unless the United States itself is compelled by its people to stop funding and defending Israel, this genocide will not stop. " Precisely! Been clear to me and anyone clear thinking for many months.

Here's a report from The American Legion, the largest US veterans' organization: Israeli strikes in Gaza City and at a refugee camp killed more than 40 people, including 19 women and children, health officials said Sunday, as several European countries and leading U.S. allies moved to recognize a Palestinian state. Health officials at Shifa Hospital, where most of the bodies were brought, said the dead included 14 people killed in a strike late Saturday which hit a residential block in the southern side of the city. Health staff said a nurse who worked at the hospital was among the dead, along with his wife and three children. Another strike that targeted a group of people in front of a clinic in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza killed at least eight Palestinians, according to the Al-Awda Hospital. The dead include four children and two women, the hospital said. Another 22 people were wounded, it said.

“…they are going to follow the path of apartheid South Africa…step by step they are going to become isolated, a pariah state, delegitimized, very much like South Africa, they are going to be able to survive as long as US supports them. It’s very interesting to look at the history of South Africa. You could pretty much replace the word South Africa with Israel through the history. Back in 1960 roughly, the apartheid regime recognized that it was becoming an international pariah. We know now from declassified documents that the foreign minister called the American ambassador and told him that he knew everyone was voting against them, but that as long as the US was backing them, they did not care.

That’s pretty much what happened. By 1988 and a few years beyond, the US was still supporting S.A., strongly. Thatcher too, but it was mainly Reagan & the US……US foreign policy will have to change because of pressure from the bottom. Take South Africa. It was popular pressure which finally induced Congress & even businesses to begin to pull out of SA. It could not get to the executive. Reagan vetoed congressional sanctions, but there was enough popular pressure for Congress to override the vetoes. Reagan had then to violate the congressional legislature. Popular pressure did make a difference. ” – Noam Chomsky in discussion with Ilan Pappe and Frank Barat in “On Palestine" (2015).
