The apathy and silence around me was only adding to my despair & anger, so I have turned toward the Palestinians. I have connected with several families in Gaza over the last few months and, with the help of some of my caring friends, am collecting funds to send donations directly to these families for food & other basic necessities. While I still feel somewhat hopeless, I no longer feel helpless. I'm doing something!

Watching your videos really helps me endure the silence and ignorance around me, Alon, and watching German Media very very slowly turn their until now complicit boat of “Journalism” towards actually showing parts of the horror ging on also relieves me .. so I share your optimism, because even though released in the face of losing Muslim voters , the US message allows common people to open their eyes and mouths for at least a Millimeter in the name of : Humanity and Justice
thanks for putting yourself out there- the movement toward sanity needs you! Don't agree with this sick moment in our history! Get out on the streets and fight for human dignity and freedom. Free Palestine.
Wow. So good Alon. You have laid out an excellent plan of action for all of us. I agree and support you fully - and I’ve been on the dark side so I know a bit about how useful your advice is. I was a press officer and U.S. embassy spokesperson for the State Dept for 25 years. Now retired. I’m also fluent in Arabic and worked to embed American journalists in Iraq with the U.S. military (!!!!) to ensure that their reporting was completely complicit and totally biased for the USA. Of course we do not say that in public, but as I mentioned, I am now retired. I spent the last ten years deprogramming myself and am ready for duty to kick some Israeli ass. Do not get bogged down in the election!! It’s the new reality show for stupid Americans. Keep focused on the big goals and don’t get distracted or bogged down by negativism. Use their words against them as Alon explained!
The New York Times is starting to report on Lebanon and Gaza more accurately and I read every comment. The comments have shifted in the last two weeks and I believe that for now, The Zionists have lost the NYT comment section war. This is huge. The college kids are getting brutalized and kicked out of school. We need to help them whenever possible. They are losing their meal plans, kicked out of dorms, etc.
Alon, you have given us something rare, both hope and a plan of action. We know the Biden approved statement is an election tactic, but our job as individuals who care deeply about the genocide is to amplify the statement, making it so large, important, and powerful, that Biden will regret he released it. In 50 years, the statement will stand on its own as recognition by the United States government that Israel committed genocide against the Palestinian people. Our job is to accelerate the importance of the statement and to make the statement that important today. As Alon said, we have been given a rare and golden opportunity. We must never lose sight of the end game which is to bring an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people as quickly as possible.
Absolutely spot on. Our gaze should be on using whatever we can to fight... using our voices and choosing where we spend our money. Boycott the system
Who are "we" whom you are adressing?
I have felt hopeless for my family back home in Lebanon for weeks!! You have lifted me up & gave me hope & showed me how to lift others up ❤️
This is so precious. Thank you very much, and I wish you your family the best

I love this spirit and admire your honesty and willingness to change and reconsider. You're such a great person to meet here, Aleta.
Good morning from Switzerland and thank you for the pep talk!
Good morning Switzerland (: you're so welcome

Precisely that, Micheal.
This is an excellent plan that you have laid out. Remember Seven of Nine? I will comply.
Thank you Alon, you are a light of truth and humanity.
Thank you
Thank you for this. I am grateful for your voice. The stories we tell ourselves are so important.
Yes, exactly. Thank you
