We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Excellent! Obama has already killed more civilians in Afghanistan than Bush did in his first year and possibly his last year. Most Americans don’t see or care about the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis we’ve killed, or the 850,000 Gaza children and 750,000 adults that Israel/U.S. illegally blockade. The image could be today’s Gaza with people living in tents and not having potable water. Israel/U.S. won’t let them have building materials or the necessities of life. Boycott,Divest,and Sanction (BDS) Israel and U.S. companies that profit from illegal, war crime occupations.

Go Fish! The most arresting quote I heard yy was from a volunteer doctor in Port au Prince who echoed this precise sentiment when he described the devastation as being “like Gaza”. And I am reminded of how just a year ago the BBC refused to allow the broadcast of an appeal for aid by the local disaster relief NGOs following the destruction caused by Operation Cast Lead. It beggars belief.
