Another Zionist Crime – The Psychopathic Destruction Of Rafah

May 6, 2024

This morning the Israeli army ordered hundred thousands of refugees to move from the eastern part of Rafah to the already destroyed and likewise overcrowded area around Khan Younis. Hours later it started to bomb and destroy the place.

bigger

The eastern part of Rafah includes the Rafah crossing to Egypt through which food an other necessities enter Gaza. It also includes the largest still existing healthcare facility.

As the Zionist entity will likely continue in its usual pattern the eastern part of Rafah will be completely destroyed. After that it will do the same with its western part.

There will not be one building left in Gaza that is inhabitable.

I mostly refrain from writing about the crimes of the colonial settler regime. It is simply beyond my emotional capabilities.

This poem, by Caitlin Johnstone, is probably the best way to express my feelings:

I Oppose Israel’s Atrocities In Gaza Because I’m Not A Psychopath

I don’t oppose the butchery in Gaza because I love Hamas or hate Jews or love Islam or hate America. I don’t oppose the butchery in Gaza because I’m a lefty or a commie or an anarchist or an anti-imperialist. I oppose the butchery in Gaza because I’m not a fucking psychopath.

Every one who openly or silently supports the Zionist in this should be in jail.

It’s sad, b, but continue writing about this historic crime. In particular, notice two things:
1) The ultimately humane Russian SMO against all of NATO, and
2) The complete obliteration of “international” oligarchical law, especially the reputation of the ICC.
This doesn’t end Israel’s problems. If anything, it compounds them. Like getting premium oceanside property in Hell.

Latest Aljazeera update
Hamas slams Rafah evacuation order
Hamas says any Israeli military offensive on Rafah in southern Gaza will not be a “picnic”, adds it is “fully prepared” to defend Palestinians.
It comes after Israel ordered people to move out of eastern Rafah as fears of a full-blown military assault on the city sheltering more than one million displaced people grow.

I wonder if the forces against Israel’s holocaust of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are going to do something other than let the Palestinians die brutally in large numbers?

I have a similar reaction. What is happening is beyond words. Zionism is openly genocidal.

Thanks for the posting b.
Patriarchal barbarism or socialism is the question on the table….I vote socialism
Barbarism is for losers without any personal merit in life….they just steal it and/or destroy others.
I want the shit show of barbarism and greed to stop, even if it means extinction for our species…..the Cosmos deserves better.

“I mostly refrain from writing about the crimes of the colonial settler regime. It is simply beyond my emotional capabilities.”
The genocide really is so unnatural, so irrational and so counter to what most would agree are just basic ethics between human population, that it is overwhelming. Then, to see every western power center gleefully, shamelessly cheer it on, is a new low, a confirmation that the ruling class of the west is truly insane and the greatest danger to all of humanity.
But, then I recall the poet who said you must live to tell my story. We must live, watch, record the crime and we must seek every opportunity to smash the imperialist regimes of the west. It is much weaker than it appears and there will be many opportunities in the coming years to injure and ultimately defeat the beast.
Preserve yourself anti Zionists! An open fight is coming.

I don’t want our world to end
I want their world to end and it will but we may not live to see it after all
Exiled to Earth
Witness to the absence of souls or sanity
to a withering world
To live in sacred places
while the smell of death permeates the air
Innocent of malice
The Unbeheld
they see the Assassin’s heart
His message of corruption
Rage burns
invoking praises to the Harbinger of Death
The divine engineers
made up a lie we can believe in
Admire their handiwork
murdered hope
The Executioner approaches
mortals fall beneath his blade
The garden has been planted
Seeded with love and hope and unity
and words of inspiration
that carry our breath into the light
We linger
taking refuge behind their sacred wing
Touching memories awake
into our reflection
we are born again

@7 ld
The disgust is immeasurable. Unquantifiable. Unmentionable.
From this a desire springs forth: we want to see them taste their own medicine.
But we run into a quandary: the end of them will mean the end of us because there is a bookish, Israeli with a “Samsonite” briefcase handcuffed to his wimpy wrist, being whisked from one side of its colony to the other, never standing still. Arm guards, bulletproof glass on its caravan of cybertrucks.
The human mind comes to a point where it thinks, “There is no justice, here. There is no justice anywhere, Sam-I-Am.”
Continuing, “And so, I would rather see the whole thing over and done. Get that weasly Israeli to set his briefcase down, set the right 4 digit combination, and click it open.”
Every generation of human mind comes to this point: “there is no justice. I will see soon the end of it all. My generation is special in this way.”
But what foolishness, you see. Thus is precisely the point where the human mind is ready to read Heraclitus: “Strife is justice.”
We are passing through the dark night.

If they can’t even control the much narrower Northern Gaza after 7 months, they’re going to lose in Rafah. The resistance fighters are now much more experienced and determined, the ‘elite’ Israeli forces are in tatters, Hezbollah is hitting harder and deeper, and now Turkey/Houthis are going to put a real dent in their war materials. Israel’s indiscriminate bombing resulting in 10 percent unexploded ordinance means that the resistance fighters basically have an endless supply of raw materials for their munition industry. Maybe somebody will make another go at Turkstream.
Yes, it’s all racing against everybody in Gaza dying from hunger, disease, and the IOF, but I believe Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis when they say they will not let Gaza fall.

How Tomoyuki Yamashita’s Execution in the Philippines After WWII Set a Global Precedent on War Crimes
His death birthed the Yamashita standard, or what many simply call command responsibility.
…… And so the Yamashita standard was born, a new name for command responsibility that found commanders to be held accountable before the law for crimes committed by their subordinates even if they did not order them, did not stand by to allow them, did not know about them, or did not have the ability to stop them. Leaders would essentially be punished for the crimes of their men.….
….. Yamashita’s case was the first one that prompted the incorporation of Yamashita’s standard in U.S. federal law. The harsh ruling was eventually added to the international Geneva Conventions and has since been applied to dozens of trials in the International Criminal Court. Command responsibility became a crucial part of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
Tomoyuki Yamashita’s standard brings new meaning to the concept that with great power comes great responsibility…….

Leaked document fuels concern Israel plans to push Palestinians from Gaza into Egypt

An Israeli government document suggesting the mass relocation of Gaza’s 2.3 million people to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula is fuelling concerns about the possible ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The leaked document, first reported in Israeli media, was compiled by an Israeli government research agency known as the Intelligence Ministry and was dated Oct. 13 — six days after Hamas led deadly attacks on Israel and the Israeli government declared war against the Palestinian militant group, which controls Gaza.

Can we call horseshit on this being a proposed ethnic cleansing scheme.
This was the goal all along of the Oct 7th LIHOP.

Resume of the Zionist Entity:
1) I torture UN workers
2) I bomb embassies
3) I refuse to declare my official borders as I want more and more of other countries’ (plural) land
4) I openly interfere in the affairs of other countries.
5) All criticism by any member of the World Community just reinforces my sense of privileged Victimhood
6) I never tell a lie as I have no concept. I only know what serves me.
7) I invented the Samson Option and will take the rest of you with me.
8) I commit collective punishment
9) I kidnap thousands, including children, with no judicial oversight
10) I will commit torture if I see fit and even if I don’t
11) I oppress occupied inhabitants and enjoy doing so
12) I commit rape with impunity against mine enemies
13) I steal land with impunity
14) I murder with impunity
15) I commit Genocide
16) I look forward to war and prod my neighbors for more
17) I need money, send a check
18) I commit false flags and if friends or even my own people are sacrificed so be it.
19) I implement the Hannibal Doctrine
20) Treachery and betrayal of my own people are a means to an end
21) I support and conduct terrorism.
22) I openly interfere in the affairs of other countries, seeking support for all of the above
23) I know that I can count on other amoral nations to support my wars, oppression and theft.
24) I know that the World Community will not stop me as I commit future Genocides

Israelis sometimes tell Americans “You wiped out your American Indians and got rich; Why can’t we do the same?” Our politicians agree, unfortunately. Ordinary people are too busy staving off homelessness to think about much else.
Dispensationalist fantasies about the End of the World and how a Jewish state will bring Jesus back via a series of wars have a lot to do with US support for Israel, as well.

All Israel really wants is Peace.
A BIG Peace of Northern Gaza, A large Peace of Eastern Rafah, a bigger Peace of Western Rafah and eventually all of Gaza, once they force everyone into the Khan Younis ghettos for deportation.

It was already the goal when the plans started to blow up Nordstream. Which means that the US was in on the planning (including the Gaza genocide), more likely the lead planner.

B,
Thanks for sharing those words from Caitlin who has been a powerful voice against the slaughter in Gaza. As an Ashkenazi Jew whose grandparents and great grandparents escaped the slaughter of Jews in Europe and ended up in the slums of the city (NYC) with the largest urban population of Jews in the world, I resonate with Caitlin’s words and will never look at people who support this genocide in the same way again, many of whom are my former associates. I am too old to be on the front lines of this battle which is playing out now on campuses in the US the way it was when we taking on South African Apartheid and the atrocities US central American policy when I was student and young adult. Now it is my children and their friends who are continuing this while we older folk watch the State arrest them violently cheered on by our bankrupt and corrupt “leaders.”
Exhausted by but not surprised at how this is playing out, I wait for the Israel to push for the final solution in Gaza and force the Palestinians into the Sinai, while the world looks on with no response. I find myself hoping the Hezbollah will finally react and make Israel pay for their actions. Who else will?
James I wish I were more optimistic like you and think that Biden will make Israel go lightly. But I am not and I cant see and end to this until many, many more Palestinians are slaughtered.
May peace be achieved somehow…

“a National Security Council spokesperson vowed the US would continue arming Israel. ‘The United States has surged billions of dollars in security assistance to Israel since the October 7 attacks, passed the largest ever supplemental appropriation for emergency assistance to Israel, led an unprecedented coalition to defend Israel against Iranian attacks, and will continue to do what is necessary to ensure Israel can defend itself from the threats it faces,’ the spokesperson told CNN.”

I thank you for your eloquent comment…poetry unto itself.
Always rings true
I do believe the Samson option is possible and Israel is showing the world they are unhinged psychopaths.
but
Other factors have also come to light… they are not invincible.
In fact they appear frightened and unwilling to die. (cowards)
A big part of me says no they won’t end their quest for global enslavement with a self-destructive aramageddon.
Comebacks from the brink are their schtik and the fucks are busily buying up Greece.
Wishing Empire to die has been a life-long dream.
I am 71 and am satisfied that dream is coming true.

I think Israel is doing this to further enrage the pro-Palestinian protesters. It’s too well timed & I think Netanyahu wants to collapse the American government with that. I expect a riot at the White House, color revolution style to be timed right after Rafah.

Two types of people inhabit this planet. Events in Gaza are painting this picture in broad, sweeping color…and contrast. On one side we have those billions of folk who have not sold out their essential humanity, maintaining basic human values and cherish a peaceful and satisfactory life, particularly for those close to them, family and friends. This gyre tends to extending those values to all sentient life.
Stark contrast is displayed by those who dwell in existential fear…usually at a subconscious level. That fear is extended to uncaring feelings and treatment of others. These people may be highly egotistical and narcissistic, even sociopathic or psychopathic. Deep within their beings are the false gods of greed, lack of honor and honesty…along with levels of hatred for the other. All of these negative values are resultant from the spiritual void…the fountainhead of fear.
A generally peaceful people for many centuries, the folk of Palestine are being murdered, massacred and genocided by a majority of an invasive horde…people who glorify themselves as the cost of spiritual resonance with the love which permeates the unseen world. Their deeply seated unconscious self-hatred is projected upon those whom they call “Ameleks”, thus justifying their fear-based hatred for those who love peace and human/humane values.
Giving up on humanity appears to some as a form of closure…on a strictly personal basis. But look to the young adults on those college campuses…now spreading in solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine…right across the planet. The two younger generations include an awakening majority of those who have beheld the evil visited upon those suffering, all the while their tormentors are in complete control of every major institution in their countries.
Prominent amongst those awakeners are daughters and sons of privilege, whose values are thankfully not those of their parents. Perhaps there remains a ray of hope for those of Jewish heritage who are often front and center in the struggle for a world with genuine human values. Ethnicity, race and religion are irrelevant amongst the awakeners. They sacrifice their potential economic futures on behalf of a positive vision of a future world.
After a time of testing and trying, extreme in its violence and hatred; those who love the whole of humankind will prevail.

During the negotiations of the Abraham Accords Netanyahu had promised not to annex more of Palestine
until 2024. On Oct 7th that deadline was on the horizon.
Israel was in possession of Hamas’ Oct 7th jail break plan a full year before.
The entire political/intelligence/military leadership read Hamas’ plan (and it is almost unthinkable
that the CIA and MI6 did not study it also).
Israel recognized that Hamas’ written plan for Oct 7th could not succeed without Israel’s help.
They limited access to the information gained from monitoring Hamas’ hand-held radio network to a select few insiders.
Israel claims that they stopped monitoring Hamas’ hand-held radio network altogether, no one was monitoring (yeah, like that is believable).
Not even monitoring the very top of Hamas’ command structure! Who believes that?!
They were compartmentalizing it so those outside of the plans for LIHOP would not cause problems.
They had to ignore the alerts being sounded by border watchers.
They had to give a thumbs-down to written reports by intelligence officers
warning of an imminent Oct 7th (this happened!).
They had to ignore that Hamas had been trying to lull them into complacency (this was in writing in the Hamas Oct 7th plans).
*They had to remove the vast majority of the IDF troops surrounding Gaza just in time for Oct 7th.*
Once the jail break was under way support troops had to be delayed for hours. (They refuse to explain
why this happened, stating that they will “investigate” only after Hamas is defeated.)
They had to implement the Hannibal Directive in order to achieve maximum civilian casualties.
They had to overrule the officers in charge of permitting the Rave Party, a Rave Party in the known danger zone,
a party that could be heard from Gaza. The officers in charge were overruled by higher-ups.
The confluence of too many huge failures and too many horrible decisions
to be a credible accident, it was premeditated.

You need to let go of the White guilt, if you are White.
European settlers are plenty kind and think about others comfort often. Most parts of the world don’t do such things.
Many, many, many tribes of people completely vanquish their rivals, but in the USA, Canada, NZ, AUS, natives have a space and some level of autonomy.
Nearly every jewish holiday revolves around the successful complete destruction of enemy tribes OR the narrow escape from doom for the jewish people.
In fact, right now, you are watching this very same repeatable behavior from the jews.
Do you think native americans didn’t war with each other ? Is your understanding of what happened to tribes that lost war to another tribe limited to what was on the discovery channel ?
Perhaps the best people to lose a war to is Europeans. They show mercy.
And don’t be naive, jews ran WW2 and dropped nukes on the two most Christian cities in japan, per capita.
Sometimes I wonder if people ever pick up on this shit or if all gentile countries covertly ran by jews are just perpetually going to be blamed for the blood crimes of jews.
In any case, natives in white settled lands are still here, and alive.
But you want to say isreal is just ‘copying the White man’.

Everyone knows the jewish faith doesn’t allow converts, the whole false dichotomy of “race & religion” of judiasm is over for any intellectual in 2024.
They allow things like trumps daughter to convert for the sake of furthering jewish power but the Judaism religion is basically just racism codified.
Isreal has DNA tests to become a citizen, its the only country where anyone of the jewish race is given automatic citizenship, isreal makes guest workers from the Philippines sign contracts saying they won’t have sex with jews and isreal has laws forbidding jew and arab marriages.
In all aspects the jewish religion is just jewish supremacy racism rules. That’s it. Don’t eat with gentiles, don’t charge interest to other jews, in a courtroom presided over by a jew if a jew and gentile come in with a case you are always to try your best to rule in favor of the jew, etc, etc – numerous examples to prove my case.

Time to Break the Silence on Palestine – The N.Y. Times
Martin Luther King Jr. courageously spoke out about the Vietnam War. We must do the same when it comes to this grave injustice of our time.
By Michelle Alexander
Opinion Columnist
• Jan. 19, 2019
“We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak,” the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared at Riverside Church in Manhattan in 1967.
On April 4, 1967, exactly one year before his assassination, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stepped up to the lectern at the Riverside Church in Manhattan. The United States had been in active combat in Vietnam for two years and tens of thousands of people had been killed, including some 10,000 American troops. The political establishment — from left to right — backed the war, and more than 400,000 American service members were in Vietnam, their lives on the line.
Many of King’s strongest allies urged him to remain silent about the war or at least to soft-pedal any criticism. They knew that if he told the whole truth about the unjust and disastrous war he would be falsely labeled a Communist, suffer retaliation and severe backlash, alienate supporters and threaten the fragile progress of the civil rights movement.
King rejected all the well-meaning advice and said, “I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice.” Quoting a statement by the Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, he said, “A time comes when silence is betrayal” and added, “that time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.”
It was a lonely, moral stance. And it cost him. But it set an example of what is required of us if we are to honor our deepest values in times of crisis, even when silence would better serve our personal interests or the communities and causes we hold most dear. It’s what I think about when I go over the excuses and rationalizations that have kept me largely silent on one of the great moral challenges of our time: the crisis in Israel-Palestine.
I have not been alone. Until very recently, the entire Congress has remained mostly silent on the human rights nightmare that has unfolded in the occupied territories. Our elected representatives, who operate in a political environment where Israel’s political lobby holds well-documented power, have consistently minimized and deflected criticism of the State of Israel, even as it has grown more emboldened in its
occupation of Palestinian territory and adopted some practices reminiscent of apartheid in South Africa and Jim Crow segregation in the United States.
Many civil rights activists and organizations have remained silent as well, not because they lack concern or sympathy for the Palestinian people, but because they fear loss of funding from foundations, and false charges of anti-Semitism. They worry, as I once did, that their important social justice work will be compromised or discredited by smear campaigns.
Similarly, many students are fearful of expressing support for Palestinian rights because of the McCarthyite tactics of secret organizations like Canary Mission, which blacklists those who publicly dare to support boycotts against Israel, jeopardizing their employment prospects and future careers.
Reading King’s speech at Riverside more than 50 years later, I am left with little doubt that his teachings and message require us to speak out passionately against the human rights crisis in Israel-Palestine, despite the risks and despite the complexity of the issues. King argued, when speaking of Vietnam, that even “when the
issues at hand seem as perplexing as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict,” we must not be mesmerized by uncertainty. “We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.”

“Every one who openly or silently supports the Zionist in this should be in jail.”
So now we are advocating punishing thought crimes? It’s wrong when neocons push this for not falling in line for Ukraine and it’s wrong when people call for this if you don’t wrap your arms around Hamas.
People should be able to support Israel or change their mind or not care at all without being threatened with incarceration.

UNZ
a thorough examination of historic Jewish power and the student protests
“During the early decades of the Twentieth Century the enormous Russian Empire was only about 4% Jewish, but after the heavily Jewish Bolsheviks seized power, the top political leadership of that country became overwhelmingly of that one ethnicity. This enormous, blatant mismatch between ruled and rulers naturally provoked a great deal of hostility in the broader public, and the Bolsheviks responded to this problem by outlawing antisemitism, with the penalty sometimes even including summary execution.
Since America’s Jewish groups do not possess such extreme administrative power, they have been forced to rely upon concealment and political manipulation to achieve their ends, and they may have severely over-reached themselves with that latest legislative effort to outlaw criticism. More and more people may start to pay closer attention to the seemingly inexplicable political decisions taken by so many of our elected officials while also noticing the unusual composition of the top ranks of our government.”

Of course, you have to agree wholeheartedly with Johnstone (and B of course). It is obvious that Israel is not in a position to destroy Hamas, but that is not the primary objective of the war. As B says, the aim is to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable, to destroy as many buildings as possible. Since it is hardly possible to murder the Palestinians in corpore, those who remain are then to be taken in by whoever for humanitarian reasons and the Gaza Strip is to be annexed for good.
It is understandable that people are outraged by Israel’s war tactics, I feel the same way. But politics should not be moralised, it is about interests. The question here is how it can be possible to thwart Israel’s plans. Influencing public opinion is certainly important for this, but it is not enough.

It should not be forgotten that real political support for the Zionist project from Christian evangelists occurred also – and first – in Britain. Lloyd George, the Welsh Evangelist, became prime minister in December 1916. The Balfour Declaration was signed less than a year later in November 1917. Coincidence, no? The British colonial administration centres in Cairo and Delhi were both opposed, but London, under the PM’s influence, pushed it. A typical private deal behind closed doors, with the Zionist chief waiting outside the cabinet room for the news.

You’re full of shit, Vargas. Read a newspaper. They’ve beaten and arrested thousands on college campuses in the last week for caring.
Huge numbers of Americans want it to stop, just like the rest of the world. The issue isn’t the desire but the execution.
Sadly most of these excellent Americans in opposition to genocide are, like so many, under the democracy delusion that pressuring the genociders and Zionazis in their government will make it stop. They are still caught in the delusion that American democracy is real. They are learning now that they must be a permanently organized body against imperialism, not just the genocide.
Maybe they’ll then learn that economic pressure is the only way to successfully fight imperialism and we’ll work out way back to the general strike.
Oh, they might also realize that US support for Ukraine and Israel are tek planks of a single plan for WW3. But that would require a total rejection of Dem politics and propaganda.

They didn’t die, but what we need is the total collapse of the active centre of the evil)

Credit where credit is due to those I often disagree with but who refuse to stay silent when it’s essential to speak up. Actor/movie maker John Cusack has been relentless on Twitter excoriating his liberal friends for not speaking against the actions of Israel. Ryan Grimm while tepid on many issues has been steadfast in his support of Palestinians and in shining a light on their plight. Ditto that for Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, who while they frequently have me rolling my eyes have been pulling no punches as they continually highlight the barbarity of the IDF and the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
We are all different politically, but united in maintaining our humanity and insisting that there’s no decency to be had in supporting Israel’s genocidal actions.

Israel’s defense minister told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin that Hamas left Israel no choice but to begin an offensive in Rafah.

Can a psychopath only “defend itself”?
Psychopaths never do anything wrong, it is in their nature.
When you criticize a psychopath for their behavior they are in disbelief as they can never do anything wrong.
It must be *you*, the criticizer, that has a problem.
The psychopath then will defend him/herself.
As the psychopath is never *offending* they can only be defending.

It would have.
This is ethnic cleansing (which is bad) posing as Collective Punishment (which is a flagrant war crime).
The eradication of all non-Jews, except for those ready to submit to the state, is fundamental to Zionists. And they dominate Israel. The speedy and efficient exploitation of oil and gas deposits would be much easier under a ‘moderate’ regime ready to compromise- if only in the short term-to get peace.

Eastern Rafah, marked in red on the map above, contains the ruins of the former Gaza International Airport in its southern corner. Like everything else in Gaza, the airport was destroyed by the Zionist entity in 2001, after operating for but 27 months.
In a particularly piquant example of Talmudist inversion, Netanyahu is quoted today by Al Jazeera and Haaretz, stating that “we cannot trust the promises of gentiles” — the very same gentiles from whom he just looted $26 billion, in America.

thanks b.
It seems to me that Israel is splitting apart between right wing whackos and liberal wackos (the rave participants)similar to our wokesters vs the thugs. Assuming that’s accurate, one difference is both groups show massive support for wiping out the Palestinians, likely because the Israelis have immersed themselves in their predatory and fetid lifestyle for decades while we westerners consumed the disney-like fairy tale about them which is why the blue team wokesters were so shocked and horrified as the Israeli monster revealed itself. I admit, I was shocked too.
The result so far, the Blue team is wrecked. Blown apart. Pollsters have not caught up yet. Many older dems who supported the Ukraine project are very depressed. One friend, a retired mennonite minister who actively supported the sanctuary movement in the 1980s recently told another friend he just hoped both main candidates would “die”. Obvious to barflies that’s not a solution (Kamala and Niki, anyone?) but it reflects the panic and dismay among boomer liberals. Under 30 kids are just walking away.
Red team is confused and grasping for a story that makes sense. At one level my good friend and neighbor and Trump lover knows he’s being played but he still goes back to his comfort zone of hating somebody. Problem is the storytellers keep revising the story. He was done with Trump in March, 2021, because of covid and he figured Trump was retired. Now he’s back with Trump but Trump’s support for the ukie bill caught him off guard because he was ok with Russia. I showed up with my Palestine flag pin and he admitted he didn’t know “nothin” about what was going on over there so he’ll go along with the pro Zionists as long as they tell a head chopper story so he knows who to hate.
The US is split between two cults that really don’t like each other. Both are panicking as the empire collapses. Neither has a functioning plan that will build a life support system that works. Israel is even further along and way smaller so the libs will either leave or they will be forced to hold their nose and snuggle up to the dominant thug group as they prepare for who knows what. Death cults have been normalized in Ukraine, Israel and in the US and will ultimately demand death from its members or be destroyed by outside forces. Ukraine is far down that path. Israel is next. The US/West is following behind but we are on the path. Russia, China, Iran and others are aware of what’s happening and are acting to hold the world together but they know that people who are in a death cult are not rational.
Bottom line, this summer will be a doozy. And November will be the beginning of another phase in the breakup of the US. Nothing right around here except in the natural world. Glad I have a dog.

Although most nations sincerely deplore what is being done to the Palestinians no agency will emerge from among them with sufficient authority and enforcement powers to prevent the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Most Jews identify with being exceptional or ‘chosen’ so most align with the core Zionist thrust, which insists that it is the destiny of Jews to regain their historical homeland of Israel and/or Great Israel. As long as most Jews, especially those in Palestine, view themselves this way, they cannot share a state with Palestinians who will always be relegated to untermensch status. Therefore there are only five options:
1. Jewish-only state
2. Under cover of non-binding UNGA resolutions, the unjust status quo which cedes unlawful authority to a settler outgroup whilst depriving native Palestinians of basic human rights and statehood.
3. Same configuration but with Palestine granted statehood and security guarantees.
4. Two self-contained contiguous states within new borders
5. Palestinian-only state
3,4 & 5 require the agency of a higher authority with enforcement powers. Such agency has been missing since the end of the British Mandate. In its absence, no way will Gaza infrastructure be made fit for human habitation again. Therefore, as heart-breakingly unjust as it is, there will be less death and injury if the Palestinians are persuaded to settle elsewhere. Meanwhile, they sacrifice their lives on the altar of geopolitical Great Power dysfunction given the absence of any duly constituted higher authority.

Has the Egyptian regime been forced to accept the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to their land?
Have they accepted to become a participant to genocide?
How will the Arab tribes of the Sinai treat the Gazans?
As Invaders to be massacred? Thus making Egypt a participant in the genocide?
As guests to be supported in struggle? Thus forming a new front drawing in the IDF (and USA) …?

Perhaps that is also also the reason why so many people focus exclusively on the massacres in Palestine and “refrain from writing about the crimes” in Sudan, Tigray, Myanmar, Yemen even if they are even worse.

Yes, unfortunately Palestine is only the “tip of the iceberg.” the Palestinians serve as the bulkward to the rest of us. If there is a threat to life on this Planet, it is Zionism.

I was greatly disappointed when I found I had (former) friends and family that refuse to accept that this genocide is occurring. Some just get a glassy look in their eyes like the person talking to them is somehow mentally impaired. The rest will actually try to defend and justify the atrocity. It is almost incomprehensible.

Exactly. The exceptions I expected were those who are more or less openly, by conventional definition, anti-semites. But I was wrong. The anti-semites hate the ragheads so much, rejoice in their death so much, they give the Jews a pass. And cheer on more killing.
America is truly insane. We are living in a madhouse.

You should read Albert Einstein’s essay “Why Socialism?”
He adresses your stance explicitly there.
