BERLIN - Every day I must review my conclusions and judgements regarding  the Gaza events. The killings and kidnappings of October 7 were bloody crimes which should never be applauded or condoned. All demands that the kidnap victims be returned safely are fully legitimate.

Not the best article as it's mainly meant to appeal to liberals, as I was told recently, and convince those sitting on the fence. People's World does this from time to time as it has 2 million subscribers, at least, so the audience is much broader. Hopefully, you'll understand, though I know many will criticize this article, rightfully for certain things.

Victor Grossman was someone that defected to the GDR (or DDR) and defended the GDR/DDR as well as the wider Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.

For the record, I do not believe that what happened on October 7th was reported accurately at all.

              Hey, coming back a few days later to tell you that the precise quote is in fact not from her (I think I heard it from her but she was quoting) it's Frantz Fanon who said it first! It's something like "When they talk about the jews, [black people] be weary, they're talking about you"
