WATCH NOW: 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' – The Full Film They Didn't Want You To See https://zeteo.com/p/watch-now-gaza-doctors-under-attack?r=14nyx2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

This is unbelievable. I'm ashamed to be a member of the human race that can participate in these atrocities. Sickening. Criminal.

Gaza and the Palestinians are being systematically erased. Do Israelis expect us to believe that every citizen is Hamas. This is utter genocide of an entire innocent population to justify revenge on a radicalized few. Indiscriminate retribution against women and children, who are flesh and blood like your own loved ones.

Netanyahu is undeniably a war criminal deserving of the harshest of punishments. That so many enthusiastically condone and follow his orders is a scary reality.

That America's Commander in Chief can witness the carnage and not only assist in its execution, but gleefully see the devastation as a golden real estate opportunity speaks volumes of the perilous times ahead for the US.

That Trump can openly support another attempted genocide perpetrated by Putin in Ukraine, further demonstrates his corrupt criminality and lack of a soul.

Whenever I think of the despicable actions of Adolph Hitler in the past, I cannot help myself from condemning Netanyahu, Putin and Trump as the Hitlers of the present.

In many ways we still echoe the unevolved attitudes of our ancestors. Many of us are still stuck in the primitive form of fight or flight. Many of us have never developed critical thinking abilities and mistakenly rely on the wisdom of others, whom we deem more informed than ourselves.

I often think, that despite our current world population of 8 Billion people, there are solutions that could be found for all of the problems that plague humanity. I realize this sounds like a fantasy.

We have the technology, the knowledge and the riches to ensure that nobody suffers from lack of the basic necessities for survival.

But because of the us and them attitudes we are force fed and cling to in our misinformed sense of self righteousness, solutions for the well being of all mankind are not pursued as a top priority.

We hoard obscene amounts of riches in greed. We destroy hundreds of tons of food each year to keep prices stable. We subsidize the research for medicines and then leave the resulting miracle drugs in the control of pharmaceutical pirates, whose only concern is profit. And we distract ourselves with force-fed consumerism, to briefly satisfy our feelings of a hollow spiritual existence, with the false joy of possessing mere objects.

Our numerous religions, which theoretically share the base belief of love and kindness, are rarely preached with messages of the heart. Instead, throughout history, religion has been weaponized to keep us at war with each other. War is profit and power. Empathy and compassion for those that differ from us are weakness. Hate is much more lucrative.

I've wondered many times through my life why we still exist? No matter what GOD or creator you believe in, does it not seem reasonable that this deity would look down upon us in utter disgust and decide to erase the entire experiment as an abject failure? Wouldn't our complete disrespect and abuse of our glorious planet and our violent contempt for its inhabitants warrant such a decree of annihilation? Even an atheist cannot deny that we are headed towards the same fate, through our own actions.

I don't have the solution to the insurmountable task of uniting people for the well being of all mankind, but I believe that those of us who are good decent people far outnumber those who are only satiated by hate and greed.

We cannot change the past, but each morning that we are fortunate enough to reawaken, the future is ours to collectively determine.
