Interview-Conversation with Michael McKibben and Douglas Gabriel
Video blurb:
“While Netanyahu proclaims a Biblical right to raze Gaza, The Cartel Babylon Banksters run the global perception deception from the City of London in the attempt to kick off WW3 and consolidate planetary control of humanity. The Cartel Babylon series is back!
Analysis and discussion with Michael McKibben and Douglas Gabriel! We, the People, are Awake to their satanic plan and are uniting in prayer and Godly Intention to turn away from and defeat the satanic globalists!”

@DrAliciaHill (post #32) Thank you for the additional thoughts and insight. Your posts are always gracious and articulate, attributes of which I admire and appreciate.
I liken your point to the good teachers and administrators in public education who work incessantly to help children and families while facing daily opposition and hostility from unions, staff, some families and now even some students.
I think we agree in general about exceptions in nearly every organization, to wit, there are even Arabs in Gaza who don’t want Hamas governing them nor terrorizing anyone. But knowing how the UN was created, who has led it, which situations it chooses to “help” and help not, its abysmal track record and history, and the current plans it is unleashing on humanity, well… the exceptions within the body are so small and ineffectual that I am quite comfortable in using a big bucket and broad brush to paint the UN as evil.

Thank you sharick, understood about the broad brush. For me, the distinctions do remain. With a tiny brush, I do offer my testimony, firsthand, that the Official United Nations and United States Government Sanctions Against Apartheid in South Africa were keys in the peaceful dismantling of the unlawful practices in the region, and of deep meaning to The People I knew whose families were reunited and, at long last, able to live together.

It would seem that, metaphysically at least, that some Israeli’s don’t seem to have managed to escape that demonic spirit that created and ran concentration camps. Perhaps that communal trauma was too damaging to overcome, and Israel is in danger of becoming “the abyss”. Being from another place and experience of intercommunal conflict, killing or depopulating the homes and places of the other, under any circumstances of war, only serves to create visceral and intergenerational hatred which forms the future cycles of violence. There appears to be no role for empathy or compassion in either direction. Yet at some point, someone(s) will need to go there, to some degree, in order to halt and reverse continual devastation and to exorcise the demons of history from their respective psyches. If such were done in collaboration, supporting each other across the divide, a peace, internal first, and communally thereafter, may be possible. But that wont be won in a top-down manner, but by those who live closest to each other and who are most at risk. regardless of the politics.

Two video reports from the ground: (1) Bisan, age 25, a journalist in northern Gaza who broadcasts every day despite internet and electricity blackouts; and (2) Footage from a UN school sheltering refugees in Jabalia.
Bisan is living through an active genocide. When she was told by the Israelis to leave northern Gaza, she refused. She stayed:
An Israeli air strike on displaced Palestinians at the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza reportedly killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more, according to a doctor at al-Shifa Hospital:
