He should be sacked from his position, see how exhilarating he finds that, these people standing by or calling for war crimes need psychiatric help. These are the nut jobs that ordinary people caught up in their hatred and vitriol.

What an irony! Asking for him to be sacked when at the same time a number of people including politicians in Israel and other figures in the West have engaged in genocidal rhetoric from the beginning of this conflict.

Of course the Professor shouldn't have made these comments. The best possible solution is an immediate permanent ceasefire and peace regardless of what some posters say here who continue to argue in favour of the war when in fact there is no support around the world for it.

There are some people who think anyone rooting for one side or the other in killing their fellow man to solve a problem are also 'mentally touched'.

It's sad that all world societies seem to be based on violence, with the most powerful bully reigns supreme. Is this the best humanity can come up with to solve problems?

Every war fought during my lifetime has more than enough evidence to either suggest/ show or prove it's been manufactured for control over country leadership and acquisition of resources, making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

America cannot afford another war, financially, morally or spiritually. But then, we're most likely the ones who orchestrated it-or at least played a major part starting it.

The US has a long-standing record of creating and supporting terrorist organizations, then spending decades of time, money and lives wiping them out once they've served their purpose and have become too big to control. Traditional Christian values as have been preached for decades were changed to embrace new ideology, causing some to wonder what the Word of God really is, when sin as taught is no longer sin. What else did we get wrong and misinterpret?

That's caused a great falling away in religion, and a lot fewer people are seeing Israel as Gods' chosen ones who need protecting at all cost, even the lives of our children. Selling this as a Holy War that the US needs to take a main supporting role in isn't sitting well with those that have the most to lose; our beloved family members.

If they had waited just ten more years to start this, us Boomers with our generational PTSD from multiple propaganda wars would be mostly gone, and it might have been an easier sell.

I'm just offering the perspective of someone who is sick of lies, propaganda, violence, killing, bullying and heartache. Us Boomers are leaving you with a world that is even more corrupt, violent and mentally ill than the one we came into. Choosing sides and fighting for dominance is what got us here, as surely as the sun rises and sets each day.

You speak the truth.

Precisely the comment I made.

TV News reports this guy apologized and said the words do not represent who he is. Sorry dude ... you said 'em .... you own 'em. It's you and it's ugly.

Cette façon de s’excuser n’est pas vraiment sincère.

I don't think this is a sincere apology as he believes what he says. He shouldn't have said what he said and so does everyone else who has made a range of genocidal comments and engaged in genocidal rhetoric such as many Israeli Politicians and Officials.

Yes that's true. He said them and that's about it. An apology doesn't change what he said.

On the other hand everyone has the right to express their views no matter how much we disagree and criticise them. An example is the genocidal rhetoric by many Israeli Politicians and Officials who have argued that Gaza should be erased from the face of the Earth, annihilated, burnt, become like Dresden, or even nuked.

And I will remind you of your own rhetoric where are trying constantly to whitewash the crimes committed by Israel and gaslight other members here who point to the obvious.

Thats what gets me about the left, it always has to be about this sort of poison, or the crazier trans stuff or other rubbish no normal person could agree with.

Now if they could get back to trying to elevate the working classes, then I think the world would be a much better place

This isn't a right or left matter. The war is ugly and cause destruction. Most people around the world are against the war regardless of which part of the political spectrum belong to. With the possible exception of warmongers, those who unequivocally support Israel, some Evangelical Christians, extreme right wing fascistoids, and the lunatics.

I don't agree with the genocidal rhetoric from wherever it comes. But haven't seen many of you condemning the genocidal rhetoric of Israeli Politicians and Officials yet.

Yes, I do unequivocally support Israel in its fight to survive whilst being surrounded by countries that want to see it destroyed and by those who carry out abhorrent terrorist attacks against it.

But as usual you misunderstand my post; I refuse to align to any political ideology be it left, right, centre or whatever.
I simply believe and think what I think and believe.

Obviously you are incapable or unwilling to understand that and try to twist everything to fit into your anti-semitic viewpoint and perspective.

When you unequivocally support Israel then you support what Israel has done so far and that's engaged in a a campaign of mass killings and ethnic cleansing and has been condemned by a large number of countries around the world and thousands of officials here in the US and all over the world.

The self defense argument has collapsed lung time ago and Israel has isolated itself from the rest of the world as it has killed thousands of innocent civilians, among them thousands of children and women. There are calls for the arrest of Netanyahou and his Government. The most recent one.

The South African government on Monday called on the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.

Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said it would signal a "total failure" of global governance if the ICC does not do so.

"The world cannot simply stand by and watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now," said Ntshavheni.

See the part about genocide. I think South Africans know more than anyone else what the words, racism, Apartheid, and genocide mean.

Send his evil arse to Gaza then, and see how quickly his #bag attitude changes.

The morally bankrupt left, always show their true colors.

The anti-semitic card has been played many times and cannot win any argument. But I suppose you don't have anything better to say when at the same time you support the campaign by Israel that resulted in the mass killings of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza.




Marione Ingram is another holocaust survivor and she too, just as many other Jewish people, has condemned the actions of Israel in Gaza. Mass murder and crimes against humanity will not bring peace and justice.

It's really damning for your untenable position and those who unequivocally support Israel to argue against holocaust survivors who know more than anyone else what war and destruction mean.
