Susan Abulhawa makes the case that the genocide of the Palestinian people has killed far more noncombatants than is generally reported in the press. That Israel, its main weapons supplier, the US, and many allies of the US make no real demands on Israel to stop the slaughter tells much of where humanity stands in 2025. The fact is that geopolitical dictates have not moved one iota on the moral compass of this species since World War II is telling.

Protest, both here and around the world, has not made a difference, a fact that pains me both as Jew and someone who has been opposed to war all of my adult life. We’re living in a world where the torture and murder of children has been given a green light.

People should check out Susan Abulhawa’s Against the Loveless World as well. It’s a beautiful and harrowing story, and the audio version is read by the author!

Thank you, Ralph and Susan. The U.S. government (the Red and Blue cabal) established Israel in 1947 and has been supporting and protecting this Rabid Hyena ever since. How could any American go back to the poison well and vote for any Red or Blue politician?

Susan - "I don't agree to live side by side with these people anymore. I think Israel needs to be dismantled. And that is what needs to be normalized, saying that this,

in the same way that Nazism was dismantled, in the same way that apartheid was dismantled, Israel must be dismantled. And the people who have committed this Holocaust must be held to account. If humanity is to have any semblance of hope of a moral future, this has to happen. It must."

This is key - if people who used to live side by side but no longer feel they can do so - what does this mean for Israel/Palestine and its people. On the one hand, can there be a "one state" solution with equal rights for all, when Israel refuses to recognize that Palestinians have any rights, in fact denies that Palestinians, as such, even exist. With regard to a "two state" solution, if Israel refuses that option and has been systematically and relentlessly creating "facts on the ground" such that there is little or nothing left for a viable Palestinian state - how would such a State come about - precisely what would be the Palestinian State that more countries are "recognizing" as such ...

But more, in fact, most importantly, IMO, quite apart from the logistics of such a State, or States, is the issue of actual Genocide, perpetrated by one side against the other - regardless of how the "State" issue turns out - that Genocide must stop, now. Is it enough for the US to stop the delivery of arms to Israel - will this end the deaths of Palestinians from multiple causes - lack of food, water, medicine, etc.- a genocide in "slow" motion, even if another shot is not fired or a bomb dropped. Isn't it required, if we actually give a damn, if we do mean "never again", to physically and forcefully intervene to provide the necessities of life especially to a people who have been deprived of them by our "complicity" in another State's (Israel's) actions - perhaps, at the very least, e.g., to accompany the Gaza flotillas with armed "guards" to reach the shores of that "valuable real estate" and distribute these basic necessities long enough to keep a people from being eradicated. All the high falutin' talk and discussion about "States" is little more than a distraction, perhaps meant to be, when these people are in the process, as we speak, of being eradicated - let's stop the eradication first and then discuss the details about "States"

And all this discussion about the "numbers" of how many "killed" - is there a magic number over which it is too many, haven't there been too many already?

The media issue is crucial for sure. America and Israel have been masters of promulgating impressions, the false flags in Iraq Abulhawa mentioned for instance. The other side of the story...the reality...was just a Google search away, but then would Google have suggested Al Jazeera? Right now it feels to me like the blowback's just 2 inches away, like with those famous conjectured parallel universes. When it breaks through, my country the US will feel it, so stopping this thing ASAP I like to think might serve as a bit of a pressure relief valve. Maybe just a bit, but something's better than nothing. And we either get some nourishment in the three out of every four Palestinians left, or we lose many souls with a right to exist; and, what...almost an ENTIRE VALUABLE culture?

A suggestion for the site - because, IMO, it is important to know who says what - it would be useful if, in the transcript, each time a speaker speaks, he/she is identified - in order to accurately quote a person, Ralph or Susan, e.g., I had to toggle back and forth between the transcript and the audio to match the time stamp in the transcript with the voice in the audio - so I could actually quote the speaker - I think this is important to do if one is to discuss/critique a piece ... I don't know how many times I have heard or read someone say "so and so said" when, if you saw/heard what the person actually said, it is not the same.

Someone has made a mistake in the audio version of your September 5th program. During the Wrap-Up portion of the show which begins at the 57:30 mark of the online audio show, the news stories from the previous August 31st program (beginning with the story about Blinken and Netanyahu, and ending with the story about Amazon) are repeated. Your website has a new set of news stories for 9-5-2025 in print (including AIPAC and Social Security data security), but these are not in the audio version.

Some accurate insights by Susan. As those who've read my comments on some Substack sites already know, I am no fan of Jewish Supremacists. Quite the opposite.

1. I am a White Christian and had Jewish lawyers try to destroy my life during many failed attempts to get me to hire a specific Jewish lawyer to defend myself of baseless charges, even though the lawyers, prosecutors, and judges lacked geographic jurisdiction, which is a necessary condition of personal jurisdiction (think Stump v Sparkman 1978 and when even judges can face civil suit).

2. The Jewish lawyer wanted to make partner at a law firm and convinced the prosecutor and judge that issued the frivolous warrant (there was zero hard evidence of any charge, just hearsay) that I would settle out of court. I didn't live in the state and nothing on the Affidavit of Probable Cause, Indictment or Warrant referenced any activity that the state would have jurisdiction over.

3. It was assumed because I had a PhD that I wouldn't want these slimy and faked charges to end up in the public's view.

4. It was a kind of hush money payment scam, similar to what Trump endured from Stormy Daniels, except I didn't do anything and these payments were to go directly to the lawyer who told the DA to go ahead. The partners of the law firm knew what was happening but didn't try to stop it. Yet none of them are disbarred.

4. I had to flee the US because of these scummy Jewish lawyers and declare asylum in Europe. Of course, it is true I wanted to leave the US anyway because my 2nd ex-wife was obsessed with me, even though I was in my late 40s and no longer looked like I did in my 20s and early 30s when I was a male model.

Now that I've qualified how I feel about Jewish Supremacists, I am a PhD Social Scientist and it is known that so many of the Palestinians are just as maniacal as so many of the Jews in Israel.

What Susan is careful not to admit to is that she thinks Palestine has a right to the land under her vague and somewhat deceitful claim that the "people have a right to exist in their own homeland with dignity."

Read RFK's 4 articles for the Boston Globe from 1948, written shortly before Israel was declared. RFK, JFK, and their father Joe Kennedy (Irish mobster) had no affection for Jews, so RFK's reports are unbiased. The Jews were being hassled and threatened, and the day after Israel was declared many Arabs went to war. Only Israel won.

Palestinians have NO RIGHT, NO CLAIM to the land that was British Palestine. Britain won the land during WWI, and with the help of many Arabs, helped end the Ottoman Turk Empire. This freed the Arabs to own their land, as was the deal for assisting British war efforts in the region. However, some of the Arab leaders reneged on the deal and insisted they want all the land, which Britain refused. The land was Britain's and they gave it to Jews, so end of story.

Palestinians, to include Susan, cannot hear this legal fact. They will never accept a two-state solution any more than the Israelis will. The Palestinians would be shooting innocent Israeli women and children, and would be starving them as well. It doesn't matter who wins, either side wants genocide or subservience. Where is the strong protest against OCT 7 2023, to include the vile abuses of Israeli women? All I ever read from Palestinians, and this includes the women, is that such abuses are the fault of the Israelis because they don't deserve to have their own country.

Neither side is rational. Neither side is reasonable. Susan is complaining because American weapons are being used. So what. Let Palestinians use Russian or Chinese weapons. What difference does that make? The answer is Susan was again being dishonest, as it is known for decades by experts that the Arabs are convinced they can overwhelm Israel by sheer numbers if the US can be cut-off from support.

However, the US has no incentive to support jihadists and terrorists. If Israel is conquered, the Muslims will seek to control Christians in the US, as has been in evidence. Christians have been winning every major war that they try to win for 1500 years. As ex-Navy, I recommend the Muslims be thankful that they are only fighting Israelis, because if they don't stop causing problems for Americans, Arabia will be turned into a parking lot. Putin talks trash but Russia didn't keep up on the maintenance of their nukes after the Soviet Union fell, so if Putin fired off 20 nukes, probably 5 of the nukes won't work or will blow up over Russia if they detonate.

“The land was Britain's and they gave it to Jews, so end of story.” This seems to be your point, and your legal argument, despite your apparent “both-sidesing” of the conflict.

Britain beating the Ottoman Empire in WWI did not authorize it to colonize the territory of Palestine and make subjects of its native inhabitants to dispose of as it saw fit to this or that subsequent colonial power which was most convenient to it, any more than Britain was entitled to any part of Africa or India because it took them over. One shouldn’t have to say this. What you are espousing is as nakedly “might makes right” as it gets, and it is not a basis to validate anything about Israel or Zionism, morally or legally, or what this Jewish supremacist society has done to the Palestinians since it was founded, especially after October 7th.
