Not everyone who is concerned with the current Palestine situation is a socialist, or worse, a Communist. Personally I am and have been a self paid entrepreneur.
I first became aware of the “Jewish” problem at age 8, shortly after WW2 ended. I saw the pictures in one of the popular magazines of that era—probably Life, or Post. The one that is permanently imprinted in my brain is the horrible ditch the size of a football field, filled with thousands of dead Jewish bodies heaped and tangled together with the fluids smeared over their corpses. The previous year when 7 I had seen the end of a terrible accident when a truck jackknifed leaving a car crashed into it, and 4 bodies hanging out of windows bleeding to death and all probably already dead.
Today I feel the same horror I felt then as I see the total destruction of almost all Gaza and ordinary people in huge quantities. Yes, Oct. 7 was horrible, and Hamas needs to be destroyed. But is it necessary to destroy the Palestine people at the same time or starve them slowly to death? suspect a number of the elderly demonstrators have some of my feelings which have nothing to do with political ideology. Simply a regard for common humanity. Some people including leaders have experienced so much, that they have lost their own humanity.
It is important for those who still retain their feelings for people, kindness, and mercy to remind such leaders and terrorists of these important feelings that the BEST leaders of ALL religions try to teach their followers. Only with such common humane action will the horrors of terrorism, warfare, and cruelty be eliminated.

There are no civilians in Gaza - they are all Hamas. One falls and 2 others take his place - men, women, children.
Do not fall for the Hamas propaganda line that there are ‘innocents’ in Gaza. Some of the worst atrocities during the October massacre were committed by women and children, cheering and dancing in their glee at killing Jews.
