Thanks for the report! This morning, footage of student protests on campuses across the United States dominate TV news coverage. Resolve seems to be growing.

Coming from Ohio myself, I have to say that I was particularly shocked by the photos of those police snipers. The University officials and cops really want Kent State to happen all over again?

Over 35,000 innocent people in Gaza have died, and thousands more are probably dead trapped under the rubble. Gazans left alive are slowly dying from starvation and lack of medical treatment. As bombs and other munitions continue to rain down, paid for by my own government.

I'm so sickened and disgusted I can't even express myself.

The leaders of the state of Israel are barely humans. If they can square themselves morally with the slaughter in the genocide they're imposing, then I can't imagine how they can even think that they are decent human beings.

What is it about us humans that we're willing to kill and brutalize like that? Is it just that our leaders tend to be people who are morally depraved enough to do it?

What's wrong with Joe Biden? He talks about being a Christian in terms of love and so forth. But he's willing to kill tens of thousands of innocent Gazans. How can anybody be that sick? How must his mind work that he can be such a depraved piece of shit?

I realize I should be directing most of my anger at Netanyahu, who is beyond any debate a cruel, twisted genocidal animal.

But Biden and the US Congress are spending MY money to slaughter people, so I'll reserve my fiercest hatred for Biden and congressional leaders.

We're supposed to be better than this!

I'm so angry and filled with pain that my own political leaders are so hideous and disgusting.
