War No More
Updated 2024-07-30
2024-04-06 In Gaza and Beyond, War Itself Is the Problem Condemning “war crimes” is nothing more than a shrug; it’s war itself that must be not simply “condemned,” but transcended.
Even the international condemnation of the Israeli devastation of Gaza often feels tepid. Consider, for instance, the words of United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, in the wake of Israel’s April 1 drone strike on a convoy of cars from World Central Kitchen, a disaster relief organization bringing food to starving Gazans. The strike killed seven aid workers. Noting that a total of 196 aid workers have so far been killed in Gaza’s six months of bombardment and starvation, Guterres said: “This is unconscionable. But it is an inevitable result of the way the war is being conducted.”
Yes, of course, this is unconscionable, but the implication here is that there are decent, moral ways to conduct a war, to “defend yourself” from an impoverished, occupied population.
Attention, patriots! Attention, mainstream journalists! Waging war doesn’t keep us safe. Diminishing the humanity of others, then killing them and stealing their land, while it may be embedded in our history, doesn’t make anyone safe. It guarantees endless hell. But guess what? “Just as individuals can relinquish their righteous rage and compulsion to punish indiscriminately, so, too, can groups and nations. But doing so requires leaders who can reach across divided communities and provide hope in a seemingly hopeless time to override the all-too-human drive to retaliate.” https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/war-problem-in-gaza
2023-10-30 War No More (Pt. 1) – Michael Moore Michael Moore condemns the Genocide of Palestinians after condemning the Hamas October 7 attack. [MEK Note: The truth is starting to come out that that the Hamas attack was mostly a military operation and that the original deliberately false promotion of 1400 Isarael citizens being slaughter by Hamas was a total lie.] https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/war-no-more-pt-1
