By his own reckoning tonight, Hinderaker’s sources put the crowd at nearly a million people. Hinderaker calls it perhaps the largest single mass demonstration in London’s long history.

There were sporadic scuffles, true — but no serious injuries. This may be read as a million Londoners feel strongly that Palestinian babies now dying in Gaza hospitals should have a chance at… life. Because there is no power in any of the hospitals in Gaza… utterly innocent babies are dying.

And make no mistake: it is the refusal of IDF — and Israel, generally — to allow a cease fire to evacuate civilians… and a refusal to restore the power grid, even emergency power… that is the most direct cause of these innocents dying.

So… John, perhaps you might consider that about a million people feel Israel’s current response, to what was clearly abominable by Hamas — on October 7, has now shifted — as a pendulum swing, too far to the right. [Updated: I’ll leave your sophistry, in not being willing to call what happened on January 6, 2021 in DC… an insurrection or sedition, for another day. Yet no one died in London, yesterday, John — right? 20 times as many people, but no even remotely lethal violence. Sheesh.]

You must learn to accept that not even a tiny part of the world wants the insane Armageddon you seem to have a bloodlust for.

And the Israelis running things should take note — as funding will begin to… vanish, if they stay on this crimes against humanity course.

These are lessons that privileged whiny hard right latter era boomers like you either forgot from Vietnam — or never learned. I guess the Dartmouth of the late 60s taught you nearly nothing.

So it goes.
