Thing I love about Caitlin is she never pussy-foots around with a lot of unnecessary verbiage. We get her report in its purist form. Or maybe I love her work because she says exactly what I think. Thank you, Caitlin and Tom Foley, too.

Israeli’s Final Solution = Palestinian Holocaust

"A Textbook Case of Genocide": Israeli Holocaust Scholar Raz Segal Decries Israel's Assault on Gaza

¨Raz Segal, an Israeli expert in modern genocide, calls Israel's assault on Gaza a textbook case of "intent to commit genocide" and its rationalization of its violence a "shameful use" of the lessons of the Holocaust. Israeli state exceptionalism and comparisons of its Palestinians victims to "Nazis" are used to "justify, rationalize, deny, distort, disavow mass violence against Palestinians," says Segal.¨ 9:18 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWGGjLZNuyg

Excellent piece, Caitlin.

1 minor point: "israel" is not an ethnostate because there is not a single Jewish ethnicity. The Jews form a multi-racial, multi-ethnic group, and "israel" is a microcosm of that.

"israel" is a theocracy on the basis of the Judaic religion.

Bibi just pulled a Zelenski.

I just heard him say on NPR radio that if Israel did not destroy Hamas then Europe was at risk and so was the entire world civilization. Get that, the whole world civilization!

Israel is a mockery of the memory of Jewish Holocaust victims. Simple as that when seeing comments of the Israeli government officials justifying methods that are the same as used against Jews earlier.

I know there is someone's law that says you've lost the argument as soon as you mention Hitler or Nazism, but I simply want all your readers to read up on Nazi Germany's response to attacks on its personnel in the occupied countries. Read up, please on Lidice in 1942 and Ouradour-sur-Glane in 1944, and tell me that this is not the blueprint for Israel's approach to Gaza and the West Bank and the Palestinian population. And is this not what Peter Dutton has in mind when he urges Israel to act without restraint.? Is the cutting off of food, power and water not the same as the German policy of starving Leningrad into submission when their force of arms failed?

And now can some of your followers tell me how American 'advisors' to help Israel mount an operation in Gaza is not just a repeat of the initial errors that saw the Vietnam war become a quagmire?

And finally, can some Labor voting leftist tell me why Albo and Minns have rushed to take sides when humanity demands a small nation remain unaligned and calling for a cease fire and UN sanctions on Israel?

I dunno, I felt the "we're fast approaching the point where..." moment in 2018 (and a little before that in 2011) but all that really happened was anti-BDS clauses injected into contract requirements for most US state govt work. At this point I'm not holding my breath for anything new.

I agree with all of that, Caitlin. A couple of things, though, and this is not aimed at you, but all news outlets. One, why are children always the ones who shouldn’t be bombed? If you bomb everyone else, you get orphans. If you only bomb men (because you shouldn’t bomb women either in most cases, the people you bomb will die out anyway. We shouldn’t be bombing anyone anywhere. The vast majority of people who are bombed are civilians. If there needs to be war (which there doesn’t) just have lines of soldiers in a field shooting each other. This would be even, bombing civilians is never that. Point 2 is that Israel/Jews never back down (my mother was Jewish so I know!) so the question is how to get Caitlin’s message to a much wider audience. That, of course, will never happen because of Israel/Jewish apologists. There is no narrative at all in the UK main-stream media which supports the Palestinians, not even the more left-wing press and certainly not in radio and tv news. There is some reporting from both sides but this is weighted in favour of Israel and it is all based from an October 7th starting point.

Just wondering when the useful idiot shabbos goyim supporting Is-Ra-Hell are gonna wake up and realize that goyim in the zionist talmud are considered animals to be slaves, servants, can be medically experimented on to be disposed of when desired at any time. Just Wondering. 🙄

If you murdered my child, you would have an enemy that would do nothing else in life but find you.

Something the empire fails over centuries to learn. My heart is broken and I need to do more than write my Reps and donate funds. I am not a soldier

So here we have a horrific humanitarian crisis where the population of Gaza (nearly half of whom are children) are badly injured, starving and bombed out of their homes, with few if any public services still functioning and with aid waiting outside and prevented from entering by Israel.

This is an acid test for the United Nations and the international community who need to show their real worth and recover the respect they have carelessly lost over the years.

They are drinking in the Last Chance saloon and this is possibly their final opportunity to prove that the world has, after all, developed moral sensibilities and emerged from the caveman era. All it takes is a mercy flotilla of ships belonging to few UN member states, not privateers, to bring the Middle East issue to a head so the root causes can finally be dealt with in accordance with international law.

In short, the lives of 2.3 million innocent, incarcerated Gazan cannot be left in the hands of a psychopath like Netanyahu. Nor can the Israelis be allowed to dictate the wider future of the Holy Land they have defiled.

Probably the most spot on analysis of this nightmare that I've been presented with yet. Thanks.
