89 years ago, in the Basque Country, Guernica was devastated by Nazi bombing, becoming one of the first symbols of total war against civilians. What happened in 1937 was not only an attack on a town, but on democracy and human dignity.
Remembering Gernika today – as Gaza and Palestine are bombed to near destruction by the Israeli Defense Forces – is a political act: it means rejecting violence, defending peace and standing firm against authoritarianism. Europe was built so that such tragedy would never return. What happened to "Never Again?"

BOTH Republicans and Democrats are responsible for creating the monster that is Israel. Our taxes and munitions have been used for decades in the razing of Palestine. The Palestinians don’t have an army,
Air Force or Navy. The US and Israel will attack nations that don’t have nuclear weapons. Cowardly bullies. They thought Iran would capitulate once the bombing started. The aggression will stop when Iran is forced to obtain nuclear weapons. The pompous attitude of dictating regime change is typical American tyranny.
The US funds the Israeli war machine. Israel provides free healthcare to its citizens. Those funds could be used to do the same in this country. Are Israelis superior to the Americans that subsidize them? It seems like our elected leaders work for them.
