I had a crazy idea late last night that the one thing that could stop the bombing immediately, would be for Pope Francis to go to Gaza, to the Rafah Crossing and enter into Gaza with the Gazans. I believe this would change the dynamics as soon as such a visit was announced. I make a petition on change.org

Thank you for this post! I think the word is getting out albeit slowly.
If so many Americans couldn’t (& still can’t!) see that thump is an authoritarian demagogue then after 75 years of being brainwashed that “Israelis are a kind loving people” & “all Arabs are terrorists”, many Americans won’t be able to hear a different narrative about Israel either - especially when the media believes their audience’s viewpoint hasn’t yet evolved. Yesterday David Feldman on his podcast advocated sending money to Rashida Tlaib for her stance on opposing Israel (& gotten censured for telling the truth!) Chris Hedges has also been writing from the Palestinian perspective. Thanks again. Keep espousing the truth.
(To not be labeled anti-Semitic I do usually add how sad I am for the Israeli families caught up in the lies of their government that lulled them into a false sense of security.)
So many Americans most certainly CAN see QueensMan is an authoritarian demagogue. That is precisely why they like/love/worship him. It's not as if he is bamboozling them about who he is. The bamboozlements (for the most part) come when he proclaims what he has actually done or will do.
I agrée that they see him as an authoritarian but for some reason they believe he’ll be good for their particular issues. Hard to understand when all te cares about us himself & power.
Thank you, and I thank Vijay Prashad for his well-informed and clear vision.

I can't think of anything else, given the craven behavior of the western government. It might not work, but maybe it's worth trying.
Thank you for this thoughtful and thought-provoking article. It is an analysis sorely needed.
