A believer in God killing babies fun fun fun rape, well I blame all sides Forgive my hate and ignorance and silence when it maters I have traveled no where have no conscience love those who disparage the weak the weak are terrorist the nerve of them to speak I have no heart a heart requires pumping blood empathy is for other fools no one cares who drowns under Zionist floods I have no voice other than among peers who love their rifles more than they fear Gods cheer My sword is a Tommyhawk empty words and backhanded slaps if you hate I am yours I am in good company amongst all the silent ones indifference is my medal of honour I am America I am none of the above I have a heart

Brilliant words Arthur!?? Totally agree!???? So proud of my country of heritage Ireland not afraid and not owned by the Zios, condemning this genocide! While my country of birth Australia is weak, complicit and just as bad as the US!??

You are unique in your uniqueness.. you have your own path to tread.. never a follower.. your listen to your heart before the mind.. you have built your own world of beliefs, visions and convictions.. you have a life of meaning and you have a mission of Humanity, Hope, Peace and Love.. your word stands as a sword.. your poetry a call for awakening.. Stay always blessed. An immense pleasure to read you Arthur.

I could the same for you, I am not usually so loud, but not only do we face a genocide before our eyes, my country is complicit, I must speak up. You are very kind for saying what you have. All kindness is noticed and all strength for simply defending humanity, always loved and noticed!

Arthur, quite a failure of leadership on exhibit. I know you have looked at the history of this war, and unfortunately we can't undo it. So what should we do now? Our nation was founded by displacing the native populations and with slaves. We need to see all people as having dignity and rights, but that currently seems a bridge too far. I do know that war will ever give us the answer and it should stop. It seems we have a world full of childlike bullies, but who and what do we have to reign them in when they are us too?

I saw mentioned going to protests, that also helps, writing your politicians, and holding people to account for their words and actions. We have many immigrants here, I try to help if I can, and yes at times is discouraging, that's why supporting each other matters. I will never give up, this is not about politics is about humanity. You are one of the few that speaks up and you deserve a huge credit for that!

I couldn't agree more Duke, first all Americas were colonized, at least we not slaughtering them now, but yes we do need to do more on the issue, there is a term "Truth and Reconciliation" I believe explain the path one one can admit the horrors of the past, as for now, it seemed hopeless in Nazi Germany too, never stop being a voice, it all helps.

You are always so kind Anne-Lise, I will never stop speaking up on this issue or the oppressed, especially when my own Country is complicit in the crimes, thank you.
