Thanks, Don. Re: Israel's genocide. Wonderful composition as a Platonic dialogue with Israel's 'dumb giant' sometimes referred to as the U.ncle S.ap from A.merica. Don rips the mask off neo-liberal/ neo-con casus belli sophistry used as the raison d'etre for Middle East wars. The U.S. Congress is bought and paid for by Zionist (AIPAC) and Militarist Money (exhibit A: Senator Lindsey Graham).

Americans from all faiths must get out in the streets and Stop The Madness and The Killing as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela would today. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness: a future for all children.

The trouble is that the ignorant masses have had years of hearing that "All Muslims are evil terrorists who hate us"... lies and false flags (7/7 (London) in the UK, 9/11 in the US, 11/3 in Spain (Madrid train)) to name a few and then you have AQ and ISIS ... SET UP BY THE WEST FFS with their beheadings ... proved to be false and done on green screens.

Same brainwashing and nudging techniques used with Covid and now climate change ...

HOWEVER, this Gaza genocide does seem to have awakened people, but also divided them ... which worries me as I think it is intentional to cause social unrest - hope I am wrong though.

Sorry. Socrates quote was: "The only true wisdom is that you know nothing .... Incredible humility of Socrates!

To add to Don Hanks post.

Long considered to be the Father of western civilization, Socrates, warned the Athenians to question their assumptions with this quote directed at the Sophists (Democrats) of his time:

"The only true knowledge is that you know nothing; the greatest evil is ignorance and the greatest good is knowledge".

His famous student, Plato, continued his legacy by creating an Academy to educate the people.

See "The Last Days of Socrates".
