Everything you said in the last paragraph is true. Highlight it, and people will react. Stay quiet, and nobody will ever notice.

Thank you, for such profound, clear writing. I will certainly be listening to Vylan's work now. And also, for bringing Fromm's timeless truths to this, our test and trial. We will get no clearer mirror of what we stand for and believe in than these days of trouble and trauma.

DEATH DEATH TO THE IOF!!! Benjamin Mielekowski leads an Occupying Force in Palestine. The Arab Holocaust proceeds with nary a word of concern from ANY COUNTRY. WTF is going on??!!! 😭💔🇵🇸❤️💜🌙☪️.

White Supremacy is doing what it has always done. Colonialism. Occupation. Murder of Indigenous Peoples. Zionists are European and American. NOT INDIGENOUS. DNA testing is banned in IsntReal. Gaza and the West Bank are concentration camps for Black and Brown humans. Whites Only IsntReal walled off and locked in Non White Humans in an area that is now uninhabitable. My friends, my Loves, my Heart Family are Starving to Death!!! They beg me to send them money. IsntReal KEEPS 60% of any donation I send. My Loves have children. They have infants who cannot breastfeed because their bodies are not producing milk. Their children have sores on their bodies that do not heal. My mental health is suffering. White People couldn’t care less that the entire Indigenous population of Palestine is being systematically killed. Bombs. Snipers. Tank fire. Starvation. New weapon technology is used on the Gazans. For 77 years Palestine has been erased one Indigenous Person, one family, one neighborhood at a time. No one can “give” one group of people another country!! Yet White People do it all the time. Take what they want. Crush resistance. Kill the “Natives” for their land and resources. Palestine’s erasure is the first Live Streamed Genocide. The first minute by minute broadcast of Holocaust committed by the descendants of the Jewish Holocaust in Germany. Supported and cheered on by Germany, America, the UK, France… No country has threatened military intervention on behalf of Palestine. Nothing is being down to Halt the murder of human beings whose bad luck was being born in Palestine. 😭💔🇵🇸❤️💜

Of course it's raging hypocrisy. The US government and its uk buttboi do not care, as long as they have force on their side.

Thank you so much for giving the true picture of how the wonderful Bob Vylan's have actually been so positively affected and have grown many more followers. It gives me hope. People have yet to find out how powerful the arts can be! I also listened to a Palestinian Youth Group of activists who are involved in mobilizing the unionized workers at the various European ports to prevent any German Maersk ship (one of the biggest shipping lines) full of weapons for USrael from stopping at their ports - successfully! And it's growing.

These give hope but I fear not fast enough for the Palestinians which breaks my heart daily. The stories coming out of Gaza, and from those I've come to know and support, are horrific and descriptive of the coldest cruelty, hatred and inhumanity. There are not just moral inconsistencies, there is a complete and total absence, a black void, of morality in the colonial powers of Usrael, UK, Germany, etc and the weapons, oil, surveillance and mercenary multicorporations, banks, et al. These have become Hungry Ghosts who are ravenous for PROFIT, land, oil reserves, pipelines and all resources at any human, plant, animal or environmental cost to our Mother Earth. These forces are increasingly out of control and none of Her children are safe! I don't know what will stop this relentless machine, but that chant in Glastonbury burst out like a Force of Nature because it's time!!!

I didn't know who Bob Vylan was before this story popped up in the news. Now I can't stop listening to them. 🤌
