Continuing Genocide War Protests in Santa Rosa

It keeps getting worse.

As I was covering yesterday's protest in Santa Rose against US-Israeli war crimes, news comes of yet another atrocity. This morning I did not want read the horrific witness accounts of Netanyahu's latest war crime, but to respect for the victims, I forced myself to.

Forty five people so far, mostly women and children, who have been fleeing from one lyingly declared "safe zone" after another, have been incinerated in their tents. Accounts are of people screaming in agony with limbs burned off.

This is what genocide means. The deliberate attempted slaughter of an entire people. Those of us who watched our country's murder of over three million in Viet Nam understood that Presidents Johnson and Nixon did not care about how many they killed in order to "save" them from Communism.

This is even worse. Just as Hitler pursued the slaughter of Jews, Netanyahu is deliberately killing as many Palestinians as he can. The slaughter is the goal, not the consequence.

It is hard to believe that Biden does not know this. He is making it possible and could stop it with one command. Cut off the arms flow! Netanyahu would have to stop and his government would fall.

The protests need to expand. We need to show the world that we are, after all, a decent people.
