While many of us stay quiet out of fear of loosing our jobs, someone still has the courage to tell the truth.
Ditto
Where are the American churches who should be condeming this!?!!
People staying quiet right now have no right to criticize Germans who kept silent and let the Holocaust happen.
Absolutely. We’ve all seen what happens when we speak out
@@kathybringman2573 they believe in the "chosen race".
"The biggest insult to the memory of the holocaust is not denying it but using it as an excuse to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people."
- Norman Finkelstein
Excellent quotation 👏🏽
The fact is,, Genocide of jews,,
First Holocaust by religion of islam ,, your never found any jews there,
Second Holocaust by arabs nation, almost no jews there
Third Holocaust by NAZI
Fourt Holocaust by USA? Perhaps?
it's matter of times
Exactly
As a German I 100% agree. We all learn in school about the Holocaust and everything leading up to it, so we can identify the signs and prevent fascism from taking root again. Yet when the fascists are sitting in Israel, we all seem to forget our education.
@@seeibe not only that aren't the German govt gone crazy with some allegiance to Israel regardless?
Chris Hedges is one of the few real American and global Historians alive. God Bless him . Stay with it !
Chris Hedges could be an extraordinary leader, a compassionate good hearted man
Is!
He could indeed be an extraordinary leader, but those in power won't allow him to enter their world of criminal privilege.
He is. Google his countless UA-cam talks. An amazing wordsmith, an artist of heart and soul, an eternal storyteller of life.
@@steppenwolf3252100% agree. We just need to pay more attention to the true independent journalists, divest from the corporate media who censor these truth tellers.
I am a South African Indian 73 years old , I grew up during apartheid so nobody can tell me anything about racism. When I learned about the holocaust at school I cried my heart out for the Jews for many years , not knowing one day I will be crying my heart out for the Palestinians who are oppressed and murdered by the same people I cried for
Apartheid was not racism sonny
You are addressing a grown man, not a child, and with disrespect. And apartheid in Israel as in South Africa has an undeniably powerful racist context. You'd best take another close look, at what's in your heart. Empathy is not a weakness.
How wonderful that you have a tender heart toward the oppressed but please do your own research because Mr Hodges ,who has been deceived to believe lies about the Jews is now deceiving you and many many others at the same time.
Hamas,a terrorist organisation that murders,raped and steals people from their homes was voted in by the Palestinians for the Palestinians and that same terror group have a charter to destroy all Jews and to rule the world..If Mr Hodges hasn't told you this then it is time to dig a little deeper for yourself and then your heart can reconnect with true injustices around the world.
Maybe you could begin reading the history of the Hebrew people from the bible and see how God himself promised them a land in which the whole world would come against them in war,prior to the return of Jesus...Zechariah chapters 12-14.
This older gentleman is speaking his mind,, and for that, I thank him, there is a fact nobody can deny, Israel is a racist state.
It is not wrong to speak your mind but it is when what you say is not true......check out how many Jews live in Muslim countries and then check how many are in positions of power and influence in those countries.Then check how many Muslims live in Israel and how many who are in positions of authority and influence and then you will see which countries practice racism and oppression.
Do not believe what people say without doing your own research.
I flicked on to this with no intention of watching it all. A hour and a half later and here I still am. Had never heard of Chris Hedges before but he is inspiring.
The same happened to me😢
My heart hurts 💔 for them
me too 🧡
Plz watch and read everything from this human idol
Smart, erudite, and experienced. Read ‘America: The Farewell Tour’
Me too!
This was the clearest most honest voice on the CONFLICT from the journalistic community - also deeply depressing and an awakening to the reality of a most brutal world controlled by the wealthy.
I wish this speech could be broadcasted all over the country, so everyone could hear it.
How many would listen?
Fully agree!
Share wide and far
Share it with everyone you know!
We're more likely to hear a national broadcast of Netanyahu than Hedges, to our ultimate detriment.
I’m so grateful for Chris Hedges, he’s an example of empathy, integrity and intelligence.
One can truthfully say that in this day and age he's one of the rare truth factories.
Don't post, follow his lead...
Never heard more biased propaganda in my life. In 1:30 hours not once has he criticised the plo or H. Imagine being in a marriage breakdown and thinking you have done no wrong.
@@abrooks Who is killing who ?Give your head a shake .FFS.
This is the most true what one can say about him...
Chris Hedges…. Absolutely fantastic delivery of the facts about Israeli treatment of the Palestinians and the genocide in Gaza.
Thank you Chris for detailing how Palestinian people are suffering to the world.
Imagine how Israel has suffered all these years
I'm a 55 year old man I've seen many things in my life, and that letter just made me sob like a 5 year old. Lord have mercy on the Palestinians, no one deserves this, no one!
100%. Yet those who justify it continue to be invited on the media, constantly.
@@honesty_-no9he You go and live under hamas. Be realistic.
@@az-yq3rkyou clearly have. Care to share your personal testimony?
I started listening but stopped when I realized it's just contradictory propaganda.
Starts one sided with so called data of death and injury which has no mention of combatants. source apart clearly concoction of Hamas. No mention of the over 20000rockets sent indiscriminately towards Israeli civilians since Hamas and the Palestinian, Hezbollah huthis...broke both ceasefire agreements.
Contradicts himself to when he says Gaza being flattened yet talks about the billions spent on suffisticated weapons designed for surgical strikes (to minimize collateral damage.)he talks about flattened Gaza yet every photo shows buildings untouched right next to the surgical strike.
Facts are Gazans did not live in concentration camps, over the past 30 years they have been receiving billions of aid , more than anywhere on earth for free food water, electricity, clothing, building , healthcare, education, recreation...but they choose child sacrifice, education of jihad murdering lying beheading buggery canibalism zoonophilia spiritless moon god 'lah'worshiping,
They have been using the construction pipes, fertilizer, cement to build terror tunnels, rockets ...in schools, community centers mosques hospitals...
Let him talk to the Israeli children who were kept in tunnels underground for 50 days. He wants to be objective
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what real journalism looks like. One of the few, and probably most, courageous and principled journalists in the US.
the courage is unmatched for real. standing behind that podium is dangerous stuff!!

There are no words that I can find from my aching heart to thank Chris Hedges for his brave , honest and sincere speech .
May you continue to speak aloud for justice where ever there is injustice and brutality.
As a lifelong American, I give a standing ovation for this speech. It is hopefull to know there are still honest and brave journalists who tell truths, speak for those whose voices are not heard, and stand against evils. All respect to Chris Hedges, a hero of his trade.
Thank you so much Chris Hedges for standing in for the disadvantaged. I am so touched.
Watch this many times already still can’t stop sobbing. I’m in my 40’s. I don’t wish for any wealth, I just wanted to live longer and witness the Palestinians liberation. It’s heart wrenching witnessing all of the atrocities while we have our own shelter which shield us from any harm. To be honest,My children have their birthdays this month but made a pact not to hold any celebration until the Palestinians are freed. Thank you. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
My deepest respect for you, God bless you and your family❤ 🙏
I understand.... have spent the last two months in the same state.
I don’t think you can put off all positive life experiences whilst waiting for something that might be far far off. There looks like almost no hope for the Palestinians for at least a decade.
That was a heartbreakingly lovely comment ❤
Never in my wildest dream to witness such heartbreaking horrific slaughtering of human beings been done by another human beings. 😢 Sending love and prayers - from Singapore ❤
Greatest speech on this issue ever. It was very moving. It is something everyone needs to hear. We need to continue protesting on the streets, and vote these corrupt politicians out.
Please share with everyone you know
Les da igual,los norteamericanos y los israelíes son los dueños del mundo,a la vista de todos no respetan ninguna norma internacional,y se lo consienten, engañando a la gente normal que no saben nada de geopolítica, siendo menos cruel que está ,a los rusos le cortaron todo los enlaces con el resto del mundo,se ve claramente cual es la intención de Israel,y el mundo y los árabes ricos lo consienten, mirando para otro lado y pensando solo en el dinero, hipócritas.
Very moving, indeed. His letter to Palestinian children had me outright sobbing, especially the part about maybe earning the right to ask them for forgiveness.
Bless you are totally just True & righteous .
I am in tears 😢😢😢😢 listing to this man, omg Christ Hedges. Your voice should be heard, needed to be heard
The whole world heard the truth nothing but the truth by a brave man. The decent, civilised people in the world salute you sir.
Chris Hedges, in his literary message he wrote to an imaginary Palestinian child, showed he feels responsible.
I cried.
WE ALL MUST FEEL RESPONSIBLE
No, we must BE responsible...
I moved to America and turned 7. The starkest memory I have is of how mean and racist the other children were. Didn't take long to observe the trees from which such bitter fruit fell. My own family members included, white ppl whose ancestors fled the czar of Russia not so long ago. I guess, I'd be mean too, if I'm being 100, but now it's worse like all the holocaust and occupations of empire are all coming to call, at once. A kind of geopolitical singularity. America's obstruction of ceasefire is that burning evil passive agression of cold war mentality that never left this zenophobic place. I don't know how much longer I can stay in America. It doesn't matter how we "feel" about being responsible; we just are. Today at 54, I really hope to take my child from this place, but you know, an American soccer Mom should never have to think such thoughts. Will my child die at school; will he live free or die the slow burning death of all the ideals I had not that long ago. 1976 seems like a mist in a wicked wind, and yet even then the likes of Jimmy Carter and indeed JFK never stood a chance. I regret having assimilated to this way of life and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one❤😢
U.S. could have prevented unimaginable Palestinian civilian torture and suffering anytime it had wanted to by voting for ceasefire and cutting off all funding to Israel immediately. No more billions, no more weapons. So we can comment and protest all we want and maybe someday effect a change but the political body that could end it NOW refuses to. Maybe "Sympathy for the Devil" should be Joe Biden's new theme song.
almost had a heart attack when this started , Amazing brave strong man
Hamas is responsible.
If they surrendered the war would end. They don’t care about Gaza or Palestinians.
This speech needs to be broadcasted world wide. Unfortunately that’s wishful thinking.
As a Palestinian I am in awe of how this man has presented our history so clearly and openly. I pray the world will listen to him speak
I'm so sorry for what the Palestinian people are going through. I've been protesting and I will continue.
@@jlemmink ♥️♥️
Problem today are not the majority of the people,
It's responsible politicians who doesn't care about even their own citizens, they don't care about anything except they are obsessed about control over the world.
We have to understand and see the hole picture of what's really going on.
Responsible politicians don't accept that the most of the middle east countries choose BRICS alliance,
They don't accept that countries choose wrong friends,
They are for democratic values as long they accept to support US interest.
Responsible politicians want to provoke muslim countries.
That's why they support Israel with everything they do.
It's cynical globalist elites buisness, larger part of the globe said no to US global government.
As Jeffrey S@chs said, he is not surprised that world have had enough of US war machine after their attempt to Chrush Russia.
But they failed with absolutely everything, ending up with huge BRICS expansion past one and a half year.
It's devastating for US economy in the future that Russia BRICS already had their own new payment system without using dollar ready to use when US kicked Russia out of SWIFT payment system trying to isolate Russia from trades with the world.
Because Russia knew what US working on in Ukraine for many years.
Not so strange, Ukraine are almost half Russian..
I totally agree it needs to be broadcast to the whole world Ameen
❤
I had the honor of meeting Chris when he was being celebrated for his work with NY NJ First Friends. The quality of his investigation and throghoness behind his reporting was amazing then and is incredible now.
Thank you Sanctuary for Independent Media for the work you make possible.
Heartening, extremely heartening to hear one honest , crystal clear American voice. I had begun to give up. Well done Chris Hedges! ❤❤❤
Listen to Norman Finklestein as well, if you have not. And to Naomi Klein. There are others in North America who are saying what needs to be said in clear, explicit and unwavering terms. The time for silence on Gaza is over two months past, in fact it is decades past. We need all the voices we can summon. Including our own. The genocide MUST be halted.
@@9UaYXxB Not Naomi Klein. She is an apologist who is afraid of the full truth. Her Guardian article showed her true colors.
God bless you for your honest report while the so-called countries call themselves democrat civilzed and human right protecter and most powerful nations who are giving blind eye to defend less innocent Palastine people .
Thank you !
Chris Hedges is a very brave and honourable man
yeah its dangerous standing behind that podium
@@arresthillary9502you're a genius
Yes, he is and always has been
@@arresthillary9502he has reported from war zones..... Have you?
@arresthillary9502 If he speaks the truth, it is
As a young adult that grew up in Gaza, I am so touched by your beautiful words. We thank you so much
I hope you and yours are safe somewhere.
The letter to the Children of Gaza is so beautiful. Palestine was the homeland of the Philistines, Phoenicians, Lenanese, from 3000 BC.
This speech will become an important part of history of our times.
We will be long gone when people will still shed tears listening to his words
God bless you for giving this oratory the praise it deserves ❤
You clearly have no understanding of what makes a great speech. This wouldn't get you a passing grade in a HS-level public speaking class.
@@ChrisKarpuk
Said the smarty pants poet! 🤧
I'm afraid so. Tragic.
This man is a big part of why us arabs (both christian and Muslims) will never give up on the west. No matter how many fascist governments rule your countries and hate on us, but you still have good people who's voices ever defy and speak the truth at any cost. Respect to you sir. You and the many others who have taken over to the youtubes and the streets to stop the killing of innocents.
From the deepest bottom of my soul: Thank you and god bless your pure being. I hope to one day pay you back this great debt. You and the many others, too many to list here. o7
But why have you driven Jews and Christians out of your own countries? Europe is suffering from gangs and violence that came from the ME.
Salaam, my brother or sister. There are many in the West who are demanding a ceasefire. Our government insolently ignores us and tries to actively outlaw BDS and calls for Palestinian liberation. We have a very limited ability to vote them out because of how backwards and antiquated our systems of government are, but we are trying every non violent method we can because violent methods seem hopeless against the largest military in the world. A time is coming when there will be a reckoning for all the wickedness of the vipers who rule over us.

@d.w.stratton4078 Call me a fool, but after sixty years of seeing injustices, bloodshed and death in this world, I remain convinced that humankind has the potential to put away all the things that lead to such disastrous outcomes. The earth has enough resources for all of its inhabitants if thoughtfully managed, and humankind has the ability (though not yet the will) to make peace, cooperation, and harmony be the top priorities for everyone.
Not a fool. Just a Human that after so long, still wouldn't give up on the world. Respect.@@sunshowerpainting1
Chris Hedges will always give a voice to the voiceless.
Thank you so much. What an amazing talk. I grew up watching you. You are the one of the last true journalist left. Much respect. The heartfelt letter you wrote on your flight to Egypt to the Palestinian child had me in tears. Thank you for caring. God bless!
I salute Chris Hedges. A great human.
Yes sir! Thank you very much Chris for speaking out about the Zionists’ schemes to eradicate the Palestinian people from the face of the Earth so that they can replace the Palestinian people as the rightful owners of Palestine!
He's a dirtbag
That's peace of shit human. He defends literal nazis.
I am so pleased to hear that a voice is still speaking the truth I have witnessed over the last 30 years
I had the pleasure of seeing this live. It was incredible. Inspirational. We need to speak out and fight for the Palestinian people.
I'm happy for you - it was moving to watch online, can't imagine how it was in person.🙏
Geez if I saw Chris live I’d prolly be sobbing the whole way through…. His letter to Gaza’s children is gut wrenching
@@lilithgrrrl What about what the demon Arabs did in their terrorist attacks against Israel. Palestinians do not want peace. They want to totally destroy Israel without any compromise.
That’s so wonderful you could see this live!

Hi Ron,
That speech by Chris Hedges left me speechless! A very touching and genuine display of emotion at the end of his talk. What a brilliant and brave journalist!
Thanks for sharing that video!
Talk soon!

Thank you to Chris for fighting evil, and this channel for allowing him to be heard.
Chris Hedges is a "Soldier of Peace" ☮️🕊️ God bless him and his family 🙏💞
A soldier of the einsatsgruppen you mean .
Thank you, Mr Hedges. The Letter to the Children of Gaza...just moved me. Also, thank you to Media Sanctuary for hosting this event.
Chris' speech should be shared widely to provide the background to what is happening now. The world needs to know this so that we can see the hypocrisy of most of the leaders of the world now.
How isn't this video being shared daily. It's so accurate and honest. I didn't know Chris before, but I'm so grateful 🙏
No sir it's not accurate. It's one sided and a terrible mixture of lies, half-truths, and manufactured evidence against Israel. It's intellectual poison to the ignorant minds of the world. Shalom.
Chris Hedges deserves a nobel prize for his humanitarian work. God bless you Chris.

AMEN
A Godsend for Truth!

If only there were more antisemitic bigots like hedges on the Nobel peace prize committee
People like you give me hope for the future of humanity in these hopeless seeming times sir, I salute you.
You are the man with humanity. Thanks for the courage to speak the truth ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@eggymayo3271what would make you become militant?
The human instinct for survival against oppressive regimes has been documented throughout history.
The Western Empires is a good place to start when researching.
Stand up for International Law and demand equality of human rights for all. One day you or your descendants may depend on those same laws for their survival
The most elaborate voice of justice and humanity that the world can expect in the world in such an eloquent lines. Thanks for reflecting the conscience of civilization!
I watched three times, and each n single time i cannot stop myself from bursting onto tears and just cant bear to watch it to the end. I will try again.
I don't believe you.
Chris Hedges a man of true conviction in exposing the genocide and killing of children and babies 😢😢
I wonder if you were weeping when Hamas beheaded the innocent Israelis in their homes. I wonder if you weep that they took a 10 month old as a hostage. I don’t think you did.
& pregnant women
Don't forget hamas,the terrorist.
What Hedges says means nothing to the Jews of Israel. They can and will do anything they want and there is no one to stop them. Why aren’t the other Arab countries attacking Israel in defense of Gaza? Why are the European countries supporting Israel? Why is America supporting Israel? Why are anti Israeli demonstrations being banned in every country? It is very disturbing to see the complete destruction of an entire group of people.
If only there could have been a ceasefire, but Islamic fundamentalists wouldn't dare let that happen. Every single word he spoke, is reversible in this. That means, if you support just one side you're biased AF and should reevaluate the facts.
Thank you for so bravely telling the ghastly, heart-breaking truth. I hope the entire planet hears your excellent speech 🙏🌺
Thank you Chris for your courage to expose with great clarity the evil and tell the world the truth.
Absolutely! Speaking truth to power is his strength and he's amazing!
Thank you Chris, for raising the voice of the voiceless people.

¡This is why you are one of best journalists in our planet! Thank you for your clarity; thank you.
Thanks Chris Hedges for speaking the truth about situation in Gaza
The corporate so called journalists should learn from Chris Hedges truth-telling and standing on the right side of the history traits.
Christopher Hedges stands out tall among the international western journalists. May God bless him and his efforts.
Thank you Chris for your heart of compassion! As a follower of Jesus I am so very sad about and deeply disappointed in my government who with a word could stop the carnage.
Chris, thank you for sharing. If only more people know, feel, and deeply understand the tremendous pain of the plight of the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip. It would do good for Professor David Hansen, a resident of California, to hear all that you have just shared with us.
He lives in a different world.
This analysis by Hedges brought me to tears and Oct 7th seems an eternity away. And I am thoroughly disgusted with Biden's fawning over Israel. I never thought that the Holocaust would lead Jews to create a nation so dedicated to wiping out another people.
Even as the worst horrors and war crimes become exposed and the civilized world rises up against this nightmare, Biden still faithfully defends, arms, funds, and encourages the Zionist massacre.
Shame shame shame.
That's zionists for you
Chris seems on the verge of tears, himself.
He was 6 so was I.
The generation from Holocaust are long gone , this new Israeli generation have no remorse about their current ideology to remove Palestians from Palestians either by occupation , or death
The way his voice broke when he asked for forgiveness. I feel the same. We are so far away from even being able to ask.
Chris Hedges is a free man. Truth speaker. ❤
Thank you and salute your courage and bravery for standing to powerful by saying the truth and exposing the criminals!
He got one standing just across from him; the jewess.
Your letter to the children of Palestine brought me tears which had dried. Really we have failed them. May Almighty God forgive us.
Yes, may God forgive us😥
We need more people like you Chris Hedges, thank you so much for being the kind of person you are.
Words cannot describe the quality of your soul, I'm learning from you how to be real human being aside from any other identity.
I'm proud of you and all the beautiful souls who understand the meaning of being a human being. My heart goes to all the innocent victims of the war industries that causes all these miseries. I urge you my fellow human brother and sisters to boycott all corps that finance this genocide and don't underestimate your impact for the sake of the thousands of innocent killed children.
YES Boycotts WORK!! So get your local businesses, local Council, hopefully your politicians to urge Boycott when they speak in Parliament.
This is a very good man. Thank you Chris for being an honest and passionate voice for the voiceless.

Hedges: "I salute everyone who has stood up for the Palestinians" ...
Hey Chris, please tell us ... why did you refuse to stand with the U.S. working class against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports?
Doug - evidence please?

What a great speech by Chris! His masterful use of language poetically articulates the terrible situation that is still unfolding in Gaza.
The latest estimates from Euro-Med Monitor are 23,000 in total killed, of which 21,000 are civilians, and 9,000 are children.
I don't cry that often, but his letter to the children of Gaza (42nd minutes) made me cry.
Thank Chris for standing with truth and human rights the history will save it for you ❤🇵🇸❤️✌️✌️✌️
Heartfelt deeply moving and brave speech. True love and care not only for the Palestinian people. but for humanity is here.
I second what you’re saying and would like to thank Chris for speaking out about the Zionists’ schemes to eradicate the Palestinian people from the face of the Earth so that they can replace the Palestinian people as the rightful owners of Palestine!
This man is telling the truth. Prayers for you from all innocent children, killed by Israel, for telling the truth for them.
I had tears running down my cheeks listening to Chris. Another shameful chapter in American history.
Chris hedges is a wonderful humanitarian and scholar. Peace in Gaza, Ukraine and the world !!!
Oh really? ... didn't you know ...
He refused to stand with "we the people" of the U.S. working class against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports! ... didn't you know?

This is a riveting and compassionate speech, thank you.
Moving. Coming straight from the heart of a true Christian.
This speech illustrates why I have been a loyal follower of Chris Hedges since the early days of Utube. Chris tells the truth about the lives of ordinary people throughout our world. He has a God given ability to place himself at the heart of other peoples’ suffering and hardship in a manner rarely expressed and in detail which demonstrates prodigious fact finding. He portrays the dark side of the human spirit without mercy. Thank you Chris hedges.
Chris has been so consistently true to Gaza. BRAVO. I watch him almost everyday.
He’s so consistently True to Gaza. The only thing is he doesn’t care that hamas has not had an election since they were themselves elected. That’s kind of dictatorship. That’s called a death cult. They stole so much from the Palestinian people to build tunnels. 5 BILLION IN QATAR.This could’ve been the Singapore of the Middle East. Look at where they are now.
Sir, I muslim from Malaysia when i hear "letter for kid from Gaza. My tear suddenly out.Tq Sir what u have done !!!! I pray to ALLAH for your health and safety.
Allah or whatever Javeh or Krishna or Quetzalcoatl,or Vishna or anithing you call your god or for the Inés Who don't believe un any god, this guy Is talking the truth about all the atrocyties happenning
This is one of the best or the best summary of what is happenig in Gaza. This man has a soul full of light. Thank you for the video!!!
Thank you for your honesty and bravery. Too many Americans have become drones instead of independent thinkers.
Because truth is not told to the masses.
@@anncata7368 Exactly. Watching the mainstream media - both Left, Right, Independent - they are all on Israel's side and it is really sickening. At one point MSNBC tried to show the other side when some Zionist boss came on ranting and raving how the channel was supporting Hamas adn terrorists. That was the end of that. CNN and FOX are both 99% on Israel's side.
Amen
thats a good joke make. when American serfs attempt to "think" the end result is garbage like Q bs. its best that masses of serfs don't think. we don't need them to think. the issue with the US is the elite have abdicated all responsibility and all killing the goose laying their own golden eggs. its the start of a new dark age.
This former spokesman for Putin's propaganda network, spent two years sanctimoniously blaming the rape, torture and slaughter of Ukrainians on NATO. He's a liar and a creep.
there is a cost to telling the truth, Hedges doesn't care. I think that's admirable.
We need more man like you
Thank you ♥️. We all have a part to play and we do what we can. Thank you for what you've been doing for so long.
Cheers Mr.Hedges.People like you give hope to us that world is not devoid of truth.
So thankful for your profound speech on Gaza. My heart goes out to Palestine and I feel so helpless to do anything except pray for those people. You have expressed my thoughts about this horrible event so accurately. Stay safe and continue the great work which you are doing. Thank you.
Please share this with everyone you know
I feel the same way as you, and pray for the Lord’s justice to prevail for Gazans and all Palestinians. I pray that the Lord continues to guide and help you.
How do you know this isn’t the justice now?
@@kgar5String Proverbs 24:11 Rescue those being taken off to death; and from those staggering to the slaughter, don’t hold back.
Vs. 12 If you say, “Look, we didn’t know about it,” the one who weighs hearts- doesn’t he understand? The one who protects your life- he knows. He makes people pay for their actions.”
The Palestinians have been oppressed for decades, living in an apartheid state, and now literally being led to slaughter, no doubt about what we are witnessing. These verses clearly tell us what the Lord’s mind is on anyone being massacred and applies today just as it did in the 1940s during the Holocaust because God is not a respecter of persons. The Jews needed rescuing then and the Palestinians of Gaza need rescuing now. And God is letting us know that we are accountable. So, I pray and ask God to guide me in what I am supposed to do, especially since my tax dollars are used without my permission in the military industrial complex of this country. I repent.
You can pray and also write or call your representatives. Share this with your friends and ask what they think? (Then listen and pray.)
Thank you Chris Hedges! God bless you for your patriotic honesty!
Chris is a great Humanitarian, the World is blessed w/ his presence.
