As soon as the Hamas attack occurred we were inundated with messaging from the western political/media class which conveyed the idea that because something bad happened to Israel, Israel now gets to do a little genocide, as a treat. This is stupid nonsense, and should be rejected
One of the most destructive ideas in modern times is this notion that it’s fine and appropriate for governments to act like monsters whenever anything bad happens to their country. We saw it happen with the United States after 9/11, and we’re seeing it now with Israel.

Former US President Jimmy Carter turns 98 today. His thoughts on US-China relations may surprise you:
"Since we normalized relations with China in 1979, the US has been in constant war. China has not been in combat with anyone."
"[The US] is the most warlike country on earth."
We do not want another war in the Middle East. We don't want another Iraq. Sign our letter to the New York Times and Washington Post asking them not to be complicit in laying the groundwork for war with Iran:
Did you know that 73% of Americans have an unfavorable view of China? This only supports the military-industrial complex and justifies our humongous Pentagon budget. We must convince Americans that China is not our enemy.
