Thank you for posting this. The points are well made and all worthy of serious discussion. What is happening is a global tragedy and the world must continue to condemn it.

Thanks Jake for this.

I think it takes a lot of courage to speak out in an environment where anything you say is immediately labelled antisemitic. I've been following this since I was a child, and I'm so exhausted by the gross injustices. Thanks for using your platform, and being a voice in a VERY dark moment in human history.

It's absolutely shameful that the loss of human life is so easily defended. As a genocide survivor myself, it's sad to see that the world has learned absolutely nothing.

I, too, am unhappy about the way Netanyahu has pursued this emblematically just war; he is stringing it out in order to delay the legal jaws of Justice from biting him.

Gallant is innocent of the charge against him, or at worst, he is guilty of association with Bibi.

I strongly disagree that it's okay if truly scurrilous regimes and their leaders are given a pass by the International Criminal Court while Israel and Netanyahu are singled-out.

But if we are going down this road, then it is also clear that President Joe Biden and Lloyd Austin should also be indicted; after all, under their direction the United States has given Israel 22 billion dollars worth of equipment since the heinous HAMAS attack, making them culpable accomplices... (for this I am profoundly grateful to them and to the United States of America)
