Great show….Your guests were interesting and informative and I could feel their dedication to the cause of the Palestinians. Don’t ask me why, but I am feeling a little bit more hopeful these last couple of weeks. People are not giving up. Israel and its backer, theUS, have lost the narrative and I can’t see that changing. Thanks for your continued highlighting of the genocide and the new horror of what may start soon. Peace!

There were ten humanitarian activists killed on the Mavi Marmara in 2010. One was shot in the head, never regained consciousness and died about a year later.

The only relevant jobs that may require a uniform are fire fighters, medical personnel, and postal workers. People that have an obligation and therefore accountability.

All law enforcement agencies, courts, or political parties, no matter how insignificant to a national authority, from traffic court to supreme court, from town mayor to presidential candidate, from your cop neighbor to military personnel to FBI agent should be treated as children playing dress up. Children role playing something they know nothing about. Or know exactly what they are doing and are criminals. In either case one should assume there is no middle ground and their only motivation is a treat (pay check, pat on the head, promotion, narcissistic psychopathic pleasure).

This is the result of being taught mostly by the media sometimes by a parent, and in some cases by torturing and killing pets, how honorable, romantic, exciting, and in most cases chivalrous the job is. While being trained and educated for the job they replace critical thinking with cognitive dissonance, and then once in the job compromising to the point of irrelevance. Some have been so indoctrinated that they believe they are doing a service. Some may question what they are doing. Others may not care and have their heads elsewhere as they go through the motions. They are educated enough to philosophize why their job matters the same as they can justify not doing the right thing in any given situation. They are as dangerous as a child pointing a gun at you, should be taken very serious, and be handled with kid gloves.
