Why my method is to spend time learning instead of “standing with” anyone. A curation of the best reading (and viewing) I’ve done so far on the Israeli/Palestine propaganda op.
Spot on. I said to my wife recently, that I don't believe anything in the news anymore, especially if it evokes strong emotions. I've always been skeptical, but now I'm at a level beyond skeptical: benefit of the doubt no longer given to media or leaders in any situation. It makes living harder when trust is gone, but that's where I am.
Thank you for the compilation of non mainstream views.
Yes! So much recognition in what you write. The easy way out is always to go with the crowd, who usually responds to emotion. Anything else costs time and effort, but i gladly spend both in order to gain a clearer picture and to get nearer the real intentions. Glad to see we read many of the same substacks.

Excellent compilation of stacks and your own commentary here, James. Thank you for adding your voice of sanity and clarity. Really well done.

Brain have work to do. Yessiree!
Thank you for sharing yours James.
Some days I don’t believe my own
brain! Empty it and begin again.

James! What a lovely surprise to see my piece added to the illustrious already-assembled bunch. Thank you so very much.
This is the best post ever. Thank you so much.
Spot on. Thanks for this.
I will never "take sides" until I feel certain of the facts and we all know how hard a job they are to find.
As you say so many spewing hate and support hunched over their devices. Full of anger and hypocrisy.
My god how I hate social media and the influence it has on the masses.
Life is not a computer game. It isn't black and white and it isn't as told.
Think for yourself.
Again thanks for your clear thoughts on the matter.
