Let’s just say it like it is — The Israeli Government has been starving the ppl of Gaza for years. And speaking the truth of that does not make me an ANTI-SEMITE or a supporter of HAMAS!
It is unfortunate that those labels are used to describe ppl who want the horrors perpetrated on innocent ppl in Gaza to end. I support Israel in many ways—but Netanyahu is cruel and is a mass murderer.
The way I try to make this easy to understand for some of the more dimwitted among us is this: not all Palestinians are Hamas anymore than all Americans are in the KKK. They (Hamas) are a small subset or group of Palestinians. Disapproving of Netanyahu and his Army does not make someone antisemitic. There are actually many Jews and Rabbis stateside that do NOT approve of what Israel is doing. Look up Mandy Pantinkin's statement on this. He was so angry and so frustrated. How can Israel, after the Holocaust, turn around and commit genocide on the people who gave up (or had taken from them) the very land to establish Israel? How dare you?
I’m really glad to see that you are giving this the coverage that it deserves. I’m not gonna get on your back about not covering Gaza enough or you not calling out Israel again, Aaron, but I am gonna say thank you for finally talking about this daily as it needs to be. I wish that you would come out much stronger against Israel because we all know that this is a genocide and that it’s being perpetrated by Israel, but I am heartened by the fact that you are starting to cover this much more. Proud of you for that.
That interview today was an amazing catch! A first. Aaron is grabbing opportunities and they are willing to speak with him because he has such a wide network.
I absolutely agree and France should be recognized for their recognizing of Palestinian state. It is so important that major governments do this and now.. this was a very important interview and I am so happy that Aaron did the interview and that there was truth spoken to power. We need transparency on Gaza what is happening and who is doing it. I loved this interview so much.
Who threw shade at Aaron? I don't read her comment as throwing shade. Aaron has said multiple times he respects constructive criticism. Her comment was respectful to Aaron. Very much so.
She can’t even back up her assertion with anything. It’s fine. I have so much respect for Aaron and I understand that it is difficult to deal with what Israel is doing and also the feelings that I’m sure he’s had about Israel his entire life. He’s grown up with a totally different image of what Israel is. I respect that it must cause quite the cognitive dissonance and that is why I’m thanking him for going further than he ever has before on Israel. At least in my opinion.
We’re allowed to be honest with those who have a platform. You don’t have to like it, but we do still have freedom of speech and you don’t get to act like the president and tell me what to say.
It’s the truth. I’m not gonna shy away from the truth. Aaron has been a Zionist and he’s finally beginning to tell the truth about Israel. Openly. I’m not going to shy away from thanking him for doing that and also calling out the fact that he has not done it in the past. Deal with it
I use to support Israel. But they have gone too far. Those poor, desperate people of Gaza. My heart bleeds for them. This cruelty must be stopped. Who is going to pay to rebuild the devastation that Israel caused?
Bibi is to Israel, as is Vladimir is to Russia, as is Jun Un is to N. Korea, as is Donald is to the USA. Is it the people of these arbitrarily mapped countries that have gone too far or is it the land lords who've entrapped them?
Our hand, tiny as it's become, is deeply dug into in the cruelty, and it must also be stopped.
Remember that all the malnourished Palestinians will need more than food. They will need medical care, because starvation -- in this case purposeful -- takes a severe toll on the body and starving people need reparative care.
The biggest impediment to the two-state solution is the trumpf administration, specifically their Fundamentalist Xtian Zionist ambassador Mike Fuckabee who believes that there can't be any peace in the Middle East bc they want to have their Armageddon rapturegasm.
The potent interview Amy Goodman did today on Democracy Now with the ret'd Green Beret Lt. Col. was heartrending. He hired out w/ UG Solutions to guard the humanitarian sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which turns out to be a highly criticized "charity" run by an extremist evangelical, Johnnie Moore, who has said some very nasty things about Palestinians. Lt. Col. Aguilar is a damn hero! In fact, Goodman had a number of Gaza-related topics on today. Highly recommended:
What's fascinating is watching 3rd parties, as might be considered represented by France's FM, having to tiptoe, policy-wise, because of the hellspawn administration running US policy. What's NOT fascinating is having to watch across a rising mountain of rotting corpses.
I wish no one would tiptoe around trump. I wish everyone would simply tell him to fuck off. Why tf does anyone need the US anyway. What the hell does trump offer anyone, except misery?
He offers an illusion, which, like the idea of "a free market," infects the believers with a vague & unsubstantial, inachievable ideal. As well, he legitimizes the unrepentant racism & class hatred which had been mouldering beneath the surface in them for decades.
So many haven't had their racism or hatred below the surface. It's been out there their whole lives, for all to see. So many kids today, are raised on this hateful, racist bigotry. Just listen to them, they make my skin crawl. I do understand what you're saying, trump allowed them to be who they truly are.
Here's to Independent Media - NO ONE is reporting this in Mainstream Media
You're right. Aaron manages to get what's going on to us. He looks tired, but I for one am ever grateful for his up-to-date news and interviews.
Congratulations on the interview. You did a great job. Such an important topic to cover. Thank you for keeping a light on this issue.

Cheryl, I've been called an anti-semite because I support the poorr people of Gaza. I don't give a dama because I know I'm not.
It is unfortunate that those labels are used to describe ppl who want the horrors perpetrated on innocent ppl in Gaza to end. I support Israel in many ways—but Netanyahu is cruel and is a mass murderer.
My sentiments exactly.
Exactly! If anyone sees this issue as “black and white” they’re truly idiots.

Outstanding reporting. Thank you Aaron!
The Prime Minister states it as it is — tariffs are a TAX on the people!!😡
Thank you Aaron for defending democracy! Gen Z gives me hope, they should host refugees from Gaza. I wrote a poem inspired by your fight against fascism: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/aaron-parnas-gen-z-poem
Great poem!

And yes, allowing the French foreign minister on your platform to speak truth is a huge part of that. Thank you Aaron for this interview.

Your post would have been better without the middle bit.
People telling others what to write is absolutely wild.
Right 😂😂😂 very Trumpian, almost like when he tells people what questions to ask.. 💀
Throwing shade at Aaron is wild too.
Being honest with Aaron is not the same as throwing shade calm down Stan. Aaron is a big boy, he can handle constructive criticism.
Who threw shade at Aaron? I don't read her comment as throwing shade. Aaron has said multiple times he respects constructive criticism. Her comment was respectful to Aaron. Very much so.

I'm just chosing to not engage more.

Dumpty wants Gaza for an elite resort.
Remember that all the malnourished Palestinians will need more than food. They will need medical care, because starvation -- in this case purposeful -- takes a severe toll on the body and starving people need reparative care.
Israel has destroyed 93% of Gaza's hospitals.
Agree!
The exhaustive interview with Borrot is exactly what we need in reporting. Excellent in allowing everything he said without evaluation.
Thanks Aaron!

Wanting trump to do what he did in his first term is laughable. They're dealing with trump 2.0, the guy from hell and straight outta Project 2025.
What's fascinating is watching 3rd parties, as might be considered represented by France's FM, having to tiptoe, policy-wise, because of the hellspawn administration running US policy. What's NOT fascinating is having to watch across a rising mountain of rotting corpses.

Thank you for your reporting on this Aaron.
Excellent news, Aaron! Great job reporting! I pray that this will come about.
Timely and incredibly important interview 👏 🙌 👌
Thank you, Aaron.
