I remember the stories told to me about my grandparents in Germany... "we told them to get out when they still could...". Ironic how the future generation of these same people are facing similar decisions. Yet now they are committing the heinous crimes & still need to run away! I just root for every bomb coming their way to land as there's nothing better than getting a taste of your own medicine.

Everyday as I wake up with news of what evil deeds the Zionists have done, I think , “maybe today is the day the insanity ends, surely the world won’t let it go on”. I’ve woken up everyday for nearly a year being proven wrong, if anything, it’s gotten worse! I check on people I know who live in the region just to see if they’re ok. It’s maddening. I’m so glad that you had the sane mind to get out when you did, Alon. Your voice and testimony is needed more than ever. Stay safe🙏🏼

After Netanyahu spoke to the US Congress in 2015 raging about the Iran nuclear deal, I told several people, including one Israeli, that I believed Netanyahu was the biggest existential threat to Israel's future. Little did I know that it would turn out like this. I can't imagine the emotions you are feeling right now after the attack in front of your former residence. Please stay safe!

I remember some very keen-eyes Israeli journalists saying this about him in the early 1990s. Many of them since then changed their tune. A truly remarkable destroyer (and I'm all good, thank you)

Usrael! Deliberate or Freudian slip? Either way it's brilliant and I'm stealing it.

I didn’t invent this, but Spanish is good for this also. When one means “you Americans”, we can say. ustedes. I have been against Zionism for a long time; as an Argentine American and a Jew, I am left to quote the end of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Cheers. Pepe Torrentulus Bach

I agree 100%. I don't see a way out or even a glimmer of hope. Not for the kidnapped Israelis in Gaza not for the tens of thousands of Gazan who are dying and not for Israel. Even if this war will not completely destroy Israel, there will be no swift forgiveness for these crimes.
