I believe that in order for Israel’s and Palestinian people to learn to live in peace they have to accept each other. Teaching children to kill Jews or teaching children to kill Palestinian’s is not going to form peace. Leaders on both sides that can teach peace is the only way to stop war. Since there is a long history of no trust it will take leaders on both sides to build that trust. I want that to happen. That is what I pray for!
I believe it's all in how things are said and the feelings behind them. Ramy spoke kindly to everyone. He included the hostages. He included our shared humanity. That brings people together.
We definitely need more of this. And thank you for your kindness in reporting.
Imho both Hamas and the Netanyahu administration are wrong. Both Israeli and Palestinian people are suffering due to outsized egos and zealotry. Please free all people from war and strife. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My father’s mother’s mother was from the Odessa region. That simply makes me a non-practicing Jew who has been confused most of my life over hatred of others.
I grew up in the south and ran away from that place before I turned 15 years of age. I have never understood hatred of others. And that is why I have long had this confusing, feeling in my gut, and in my mind about the way, Israelis were treating the Palestinians. it is kind of odd to think that I dislike my own heritage due to what they do in their hatred of the Palestinians. But if that be the case, I denounce what the Israeli government is doing.
What really clinched this for me earlier on was seeing about Netanyahu being an authoritarian leader like Trump. And Orbon. And it all finally meshed together in my mind.
But one lingering question remains: not who IS Megan Kelly? But WHY?
Statements that the "Hamas and the Netanyahu Admins ' are "BOTH BAD" are absolutely WRONG. The Netanyahu rabble's manifesto is that all Palatines are cockroaches to be exterminated. On face value that is abhorrent and pure bullshit; that is against any aspect of GOD's goodness. When a wrongly oppressed, heavily outgunned group is abused, demeaned & vilified some are bound to crack and match the ungodly/unjust hostile actions/tactics of their oppressors. They are of course just as wrong (in those moments) as their oppressors, but they are also humans who can just "Lose it". In the current 'Israel vs. Palestine'' conflict, the Israelis are MORE wrong in my opinion. After the horrors of the holocaust & 'Hitler' the current Israel leadership controlling the tone of the great state of Israel should be ashamed of themselves. Nothing they are doing in regard to the Palestinians is GOD like at all.
American has the power to stop the bloodshed but we have avoided using that power. So far. Both sides must condemn all violence. American should cut off all military aid and munitions to Israel. I resent the use of my tax dollars to slaughter children and civilians. This must stop.
Saturday night live has always been a platform to express yourself. I remember being shocked (not in a bad way) at seeing Sinead O’Connor ripping up the pope and then later watching Megan thee stallion unveil a giant banner slamming KY DA Daniel Cameron for Breonna Taylor’s death. For this I hope SNL stays on the air.
I wish he had ended with something like, “and free the Israeli people as well”. (THEN he could have added the shout-out to the dog.) Israelis are prisoners of their own fear and prejudice, and of their government.

I don’t have a television. Did the comedian plead for the release of the innocent hostages being held and no doubt abused by Hamas? Did he plead for Hamas’s cessation of bombing purely civilian targets in Israel? Did he plead for Hamas to stop embedding themselves among civilians who they use as human shields?

Freeing the hostages should free Palestinians. I believe both groups need to be freed from their leaders.

My prayer is that a two-state becomes a reality and Netanyahu is held accountable for his war crimes.

Great piece of writing with one small error: the word conservative as applied to right wingers like Megan Kelly.
Can a heathen say 'amen' to this?

"That has, thankfully, changed...." The attention on Palestinians at the moment is due to solely to Hamas, which means you approve of terrorism.
