Has Richardson said anything about Gaza, the genocide, the famine, the crackdown on campuses? The silence is intense. [_link]

I'm Jewish. I've seen a lot of antisemitism in my life. I'm now watching Israel destroy what took it and its allies years to build in the Middle East. If anyone is stoking antisemitism it is Israel and its supporters. It's hard to love a country that has killed 35,000 plus Palestinian civilians in retaliation for the admittedly horrible Hamas attack that killed 1,200 plus Israelis. That's 70,000+ Palestinian eyes for 2,400+ Israeli eyes. Hardly fair by biblical standards.

The well funded repression of protest against Israeli Zionism in the name of fighting antisemitism has to stop. There will be no peace in the world until all hypocritical self interest, whether from the left, right or middle, ends.

Based on my 82 years living in a cesspool of hypocrisy I don't expect I'll see peace in my time. I do, however, wish all younger than me good luck in taming the forces of naïveté and evil that seem to rule, especially in times of chaotic trauma like these.

Heather Cox Richardson ... the Biden whisperer. A no go on foreign policy.

The journalists in Gaza have been killed by IDF sharpshooters.

Masha Gessen, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappe, Gideon Levy, Chris Hedges, Jonathan Cook, Katie Halper, Prof. John Mearsheimer ........ the list goes on......Many very informed and not associated with the mainstream controlled by advertisers Media.

I have toyed with canceling WaPo and the NY TImes....but, besides my commitment to supporting journalism and the NYTimes Cooking section...so far, they're still getting my $$$.

Check these esp. Prof. John Mearsheimer.

Richardson has described herself as being a Lincoln Republican, and having no affiliation with any political party.
