The hate has spread. My hate for Israel now spreads to include our own government, Starmer, Starmer's lackeys, every vile two-faced genocide apologist, the police who harass and arrest reasonable people exercising their democratic right to object to genocide, the judges who convict them on trumped up charges, the media that whitewashes Israeli crimes and our complicity, the institutions that turn a blind eye.

And, obviously, the USA. Not just festering, lecherous, mendacious, Uncle Sam, the lip-licking carpet-bagger, the rapist, the blistering bully, the tyrant, the drooling paedophile, but everyone who carries on stuffing McMurder burgers down their heedless throats and waving cheerleader batons and the stars and stripes, as Washington, hand in hand with Tel Aviv, edges the world ever closer to the brink of destruction. I hate the weakly-well-meaning liberals who might stick a discreet watermelon badge in their well hidden window but carry on blindly supporting the Great American Consumer Monster with almost every £ they spend, and sit silent at times that matter to avoid rocking their own boats, while Gaza sinks and starves and dies. And I hate myself for my own hypocrisy everytime I log in to any part of the vast iniquitous network of Amer-Israeli interests.

I hate the smug sanctimonious spokesmen, the insidious Israel lobby, the twisted narrative, the reeking corruption, the blood-stained hands. The cowardice.

Oh Israel has taught me very well how to hate. After all, it is their no 1 speciality.

That is exactly how I feel my friend. I don't like feeling like this however it's our only path forward to end this cycle of violence.

deborah jones's avatar

yes I hate that they've made me hate - it's like they won.

Feral Finster's avatar

Zionist love being hated so much that they manufacture it where none exists, because without hate, Zionist demands for special pleading and double standards go away, hell, Israel's claim to existence (other than naked force) disappears.

Islam and Judaism are two sides of the same coin.

Nominal or bitcoin?

Great rant, and I agree 150%. Trump is even more overt in his subservience to his Zionist-Israeli money masters than even Biden or Bush before him. The odious Obama wasn't a fan, but he knew where his pay checks were coming from and acted accordingly.

Dx's avatar

Well said Deborah.

I'm using the hate to fuel my rage and to give me hope that acting together we can change the world for the better ❤️🕊️✊🏽🌍

"Trump understands the JD of the US Presidency more clearly that over-educated people, who believe their own hypocrisy. I grew up in the Heart of America™ and we learned about the Louisiana Purchase, Alaska Purchase, and other fencing of stolen goods as very good things. We played Oregon Trail as if spreading the colonial cancer coast-to-coast was good fun. Trump is not dumb in this sense. This is grade-school American education.

America emerged out of Europeans fighting over land that wasn't theirs and the fact that they briefly stopped fighting is the anomaly, not Trump. Washington was a land thief that even stole the teeth in his mouth. Jefferson fenced stolen land from Napoleon and enslaved his own children. Roosevelt colonized and killed natives personally. Abraham Lincoln presided over the largest mass execution of Natives in 'American' history and only ‘freed’ the slaves after they ‘belonged’ to his enemies. White people doing crime and fighting over it is as old as White People. Trump understands this instinctively."

"And I hate myself for my own hypocrisy everytime I log in to any part of the vast iniquitous network of Amer-Israeli interests."

Though to be fair those interests have been so successful at infiltrating virtually every aspect of life in the West that it's almost impossible to avoid them. As long as we're aware, and do what we can to use alternatives where possible.

This NY Times online front-page subhead tends to explain the problem of Westerner mush-brains eating up the propaganda: "After a century of defending other countries against foreign aggression, the United States is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize another nation’s land".

Ah yes, Times. The US has been the good guy, defender of democracy until now! It's only this very moment under Trump that the empire has become an imperialist ogre! Bwahahahaha.

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

Don't worry the Midterms will help us and then Ben Shapiros friend Gavin Newsome will save us(a) in 2028! I only vote for Aaron Bushnell. One State Palestine.

Vin LoPresti's avatar

Midterms will help us get a few more laughs at the expense of the Times' editors, I assume.

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

Imagine what the unemployment rate would be if all Zionist Israel supporters were fired at all establishments?

Feral Finster's avatar

The NYT would have to shutter its doors.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

and then add the radical left and you would be making progress.

The continuing confidence that there will be elections in November is a sign that we still don’t see what’s happening.

Gaza was for practice.

Minnesota was a dress rehearsal.

I hope I’m wrong, but I think the only way Republicans are going to risk the possibility of being voted out in November is if they’re sure they can impose marshal law if they lose.

One well timed “terrorist” act, and everything shuts down, airports, supermarkets, gas stations, everything. I expect that the groundwork is already in place.

Go watch Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, and imagine that every crow and seagull is an ICE agent.

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

Remember Obama shut down Occupy, just like Trump is doing. D&R Zionist tools.

Landru's avatar

Funny story about Occupy for you. After the first few days and the protest became solid with informal leadership. I starting sending a stack of pizzas to the area through a restaurant near the encampment : ) I remember that first phone call " So tell us what this is about" ha.

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

Thank you! At Freedom Plaza in DC, we had pizza donated often. We all need a peace of the pie ;). We all need to encamp again. (I am not paid $7k)

Landru's avatar

Chris Hedges now agrees with you, great article he has out.

Landru's avatar

That was a frightening interview. So matter of fact pro genocide and smelled of Demoncrat Harris's campaign. I still see no champion. If we don't have one now we don't have one. Of course Chris Hedges has a new article saying we will not have elections to worry about. Very strange days.

SamAsIAm's avatar

Very plausible. No sane person in the US can think things aren't going to get far worse and yet, almost none are prioritizing alliances to deal with the threats. We’re in an increasinly insane authoritarian nightmare and while it’s obvious it’s reached the place where drastic action is the only solution, not a sign of any organization which could act rationally.

Aaron Bushnell challenged the conscience of each and every one of us:

https://nedb.substack.com/p/aaron-bushnell-what-would-i-do

Aaron's call to action propelled me to stand on a street corner of my small town every week with a sign saying: ALL EYES ON GAZA

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

How do you figure Newsom is capable of saving anyone beyond himself. LoL.

Landru's avatar

BTW, Chuck has a wonderful sarcastic sense of subtle humor : )

Landru's avatar

I think that was the point, we have NO one as a champion. The Demoncrats and Republicant's have learned nothing about winning voters. This would be the time for a third party however, if we don't have a champion now we don't have one or they are sitting in prison like Eugene Debs : (

Israel is a Terrorist State. It needs to be canceled. It and it's supporters are War Criminals. Australia is offering to buy back guns (Israel needs protection?). That sure won't go over well in the USA. Has anyone noticed that Ice & Co. may be doing the same thing to protect the Zio interests? Power to the People. Fuck Israel Fuck Zionists Fuck the IDF. Cancel them and the WEF Zios too. TY Caitlin & Tim. Power to the People. Shut them down. Have a nice day. Help Wanted.

Blu Spencer's avatar

Witnessing the atrocities that Israel is committing every day is like watching a never ending episode of the twilight zone.

A nightmare with no end in sight.

Some of us have been aware of what Israel has been getting away with for decades.

I created a YouTube video of it almost 2 decades ago .

serafino bueti's avatar

Great video. Did you imagine, back then, that it would get even worse? Like, much worse??

I don't think it's fair to hate Israel any more than all the Western governments, especially the US, that have supported the genocide in Gaza and the ongoing theft of the West Bank.

Supplying weapons, political cover and vetos at the UN security council, propaganda in the mainstream media, legal coercion and suppression of free speech, the Western governments, thoroughly infiltrated by Zionist money and influence, ignore international law and any semblance of human decency. Without their active cooperation, Israel would not be able to freely pursue genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Hate them all equally.

Landru's avatar

I don't think this was exclusive ha.

William Zannoni's avatar

And all of this while being constantly told we must be tolerant,inclusive, and uphold human rights, nonetheless!

AuDHD AllyCat's avatar

And that the US, UK and EU want to bring peace and democracy to the people of Venezuela, Iran and Ukraine.

misterkel's avatar

I was confused at first by the Oct. 7 attacks.

Then I discovered, within a week, the beheaded babies was a lie.

I picked a side and have only confirmed my choice repeatedly since then.

It helps when both truth and justice are on that side.

Diana van Eyk's avatar

Hopefully these mistakes will fuel our resistance.

Thank You Caitlin

Feral Finster's avatar

Humans of influence and authority (the only ones who count) don't hate Israel at all, but see it as a blueprint.

Dx's avatar

Yep. If someone still doesn't hate Israel, that tells you all you need to know about them.

Joy in HK fiFP's avatar

More important than ever! The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing to track down and bring Israeli criminals to justice is one that is vital in the effort to hold Israel accountable.  Let us hope they will also turn their sights on the criminal leaders of the countries of the west who are co-perpetrators of these crimes.

Find out what they’re doing here:

The least we can do is donate to help them:

Thank you, this can never be said enough.

I'm glad that it turned out this way. Because NOW the world is awake and aware of The evil that is Zionist, racist,Apartheid Zionist Israel and that they have been this way since 1948. Also Trump's greatest achievement is that he has shown the world the Real US government; aggressive, lieing, murderous, genocidal, u trustable, and bankrupt financially,morally, and ethically.

It is time for a recognition of the truth by Americans. Then we, the people can Declare Independence from this evil leviathan. I see NO way to fix, or vote it back to it's Constitutional beginnings. Only complete removal of every aspect and a return to individual states to start fresh will there be meaningful lasting change.

Crapp's avatar

nothing like being told what to think to get folk riled, particularly about something so objectively perceivable as normal folk cradling the severed head of their child that has been needlessly blown apart by an entity that was openly, officially on the record saying that there were no innocent children where that bomb had just landed.

It'll tend to irk one just a tad.

Landru's avatar

Thank you Caitlin. Another perfectly written expression of what many of us are feeling. I had never thought of myself as a person who hates. I have in my lifetime hated people, and events. Vietnam war and so many people murdering the Vietnamese people, East Timor, and Jimmy the holy man Carter murdering a million people, CIA/Chile, Iraq war. israel is top of the list now. If I am a hater of israel billions are in that situation. : (

“…our own western leaders and institutions hadn’t exposed themselves as lying, propagandizing, murderous sociopaths.” Fact is this has ALWAYS been true of the “west.” Just ask the colonized people of the world.

AND DEMOCRATS IN THE USA WILL NOT SAVE ANYONE! A party that supports a genocide DOES NOT have the moral compass to defeat fascism.

KoKo Rosa's avatar

Indeed they have. And we will NEVER be gaslit back into complicity and support for their heinous and sadistic cruelty.
