I am not so much tired as horrified at how many are prepared to not just support but promote this colonial slaughter in Occupied Palestine. The level of irrational bigotry toward Palestinian Muslims and Christians has made it clear why no-one can ever ask the question of 1930's Germany - HOW DID IT HAPPEN? We can study Israel as an even worse case of 1930's Germany and see exactly how it happened.
Thank you, Val, for giving voice to the weight and exhaustion millions of us around the world are feeling and carrying as we witness month after month of the unbearable suffering our brothers and sisters in Gaza/Palestine are enduring, yet feel so helpless as individuals to stop. As Patti says in her comment it is so important "to keep talking about it to keep our courage up" and to keep going and keep our hearts open and support one another and take whatever actions we can because it all does make a difference in and to the world and to them.
I'm a strange one. When I get tired I get wired. I double my efforts to help our cause.
We must ramp it up, never stop and never give up. Expose the Zionist snake entwined in our body politic. Expose how the Neocons and Zionists of
AIPAC🇺🇸🇮🇱 are the Deep State controlling Congress hence our government! Expose the manufactured mental disorders of Russophobia, Sinophobia and Islamophobia they create like viruses. They are a virus! They are a cancer!
AIPAC🇺🇸🇮🇱 has turned our nation into the world's foremost terrorist state and head of the world's foremost terrorist organization the Anglo-Zionist Empire. Our nation is hated by the rest of the world because of what AIPAC🇺🇸🇮🇱 has done. We're hated like Nazi Germany in 1941.
You explain perfectly the tiredness we feel - the shame for humanity for letting it all happen, the frustration for nothing being done and the perceived acceptance of it all! The horror is beyond words, the sadness for all those lost in the darkness and the boiling fury for those who care naught for the medical staff, the journalists, the mothers, the fathers, the prisoners and the children, oh my god, the children, the tiny beings so innocent of heart! So much for the statement 'Never again!', here we are with politicians, so called leaders revelling in the complete destruction of life, it is impossible to believe they are human!!
I write about Gaza every day because it is the only way I can retain a modicum of sanity. Everything you wrote here … yes… From the non-sleep to the hopelessness to the angry to the guilt to the horror. I WISH to hid Iran would just bomb the shit out of the Zionists. Not Israel The god damn Zionists … And as for our own idiotic vile violent government. That picture I posted yesterday of all of the greedy sycophants standing and applauding and the one bitch in her tawdry outfit and shoes so proud of herself. Jesus Christ we look stupid and now our children and grandchildren will pay the price. I’ll soon be dead but what is left for them? And please America… don’t blame the Baby Boomers. Many of us worked our entire lives at helping others and now have nothing to show for it… I live above a garage on 1847 a month. With two weeks to go before my next SS I have $13.42 and no groceries … but compared to Gaza I have the world … I have no problems… but we send 20 billion for weapons and I’m eating rice … and I laugh and laugh at my naiveté … Wisconsin born I can help people and the government is good and our wars are just and there is only one kind of carrot. Hahaha Good lord when I die I hope there is someone there to explain this all to me… but I’m in such debt I may not be allowed in… Hahaha Greed. Violence. Lust. Lying. Stealing l. The American creed
My feelings exactly. I am so thoroughly disgusted with my government's slavish control by Israel. We have had an overthrow of the American government by ZioNazi agencies. WE are responsible for every one of those killed and maimed children.
What tires -- and infuriates -- me the most is the docile silence of so many of my fellow citizens. In the small community I live in there is absolutely no mention of our genocide and with the election in progress, good liberals are in their Democrats Good/ Republicans Bad burrows.
I think so many of us are so tired of all this horror and support for ongoing horror and violence. And though we are tired and angry it is good to keep talking about it because it keeps our courage up. We need to find the energy to keep going in order to make some difference in this world and hopefully for Palestine and all the other countries being targeted by the Israel Government, The US Government and other countries that lend their support. And ditto on your comments about Kamala Harris. I am a South Asian woman living in Canada and I cannot abide this sick drooling over just another genocide perpetrator. 👏🏽👏🏽
And we must not be amongst those who say “I’m only one person what can I do...said seven billion people”. Ever. Usually when we are the most exhausted is when we are so deeply and desperately needed. The Lord ( when He came to see His disciples left for a time while He went a little 👈 way off, came perhaps for a bit of awareness of His deep pain ) found His exhausted disciples sleeping during His agony in Gethsemane “ could ye not watch with me one hour?...” We have to stay awake at all costs. Thank you for writing this powerful piece anyway and also during that particular exhaustion of the massive transition...you know what I’m talking about...🙏
Beyond the purpose and mood of your post, which I appreciate because glass is also in my veins, what about doing a geopolitical perspective e.g., the punished future of Israel?
I know you really really want it to be a genocide so you can virtue signal online even harder to your fake friends on the Internet but it isn't. Sorry for your loss you fucking ghoul.
Me too, Val. It's sickening and beyond belief -- and beyond words to describe it. Thanks for posting, even though you're so tired.
Ha! Yeah, I guess I'm not THAT tired. Just ignoring my work (bad farmer). Thank you for reading, and for your very kind words. Strength to you.
Thanks. Strength to you too, Val.
I really appreciated the Walz father insight, I have said that myself, here in the stacks. And, framing it as you did gave me great pause!

Thank you Roslyn. Very well put.

FREE PALESTINE!!!!!🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Let's not forget anger for Christians United for Israel.
After all, they're 10 million strong and there are only 7.5 million Jews in the U.S.
The power of the 'Lord' is frightening.
Oh my goodness, thank you Val!

As we in the USA have no real chance of opting out of our war against humanity, we can only hope for the war to end.
The DNC ignores any cries for changs and the GOP will let every American die before they turn a back to Israel.
And we have our own problems, rent goes up every year, drug abuse is at an all time record level.
The good news is we can't continue to consume the energy needed to continue the war much longer.
If that brings some hope,then that's a good thing

I will if you write it with me. Email me your thoughts at phillips_val@yahoo.com. Abrazos, compañero.
You put your edress on the internet. Knew you were brave :)
That’s not how you spell s-t-u-p-i-d. ROTFL!
B.R.A.V.E. - Boldy Representative And Very Erotic - which would explain superheroes and that movie 'Men in Tights'.
;-)
Not a genocide Thanks.
I know you really really want it to be a genocide so you can virtue signal online even harder to your fake friends on the Internet but it isn't. Sorry for your loss you fucking ghoul.
I love dumb trolls. Makes me feel smarter.
