It's amazing that they dare say this openly. And are rewarded handsomely for it. Can blanket censorship and suppression rehabilitate Israel's image? Can Big Money buy up almost all the media and bend the West to its will? I guess we shall see.
Problem for them is that in this age of smartphones and social media there is absolutely no way for them to completely suppress what is going on in Gaza unless they cut off all communications, block all satellite signals, and completely isolate Gaza AND Israel from the entire world.
They have already created disaster with over consumption, greed, wars wars and more wars so that they can make money money and more money. We are not only distracted. We are worried. Scared. For good reason. The world is being run by a bunch of insane assholes.
Mass media overload makes things look worse then they are. The World was far more violent and chaotic 50 years ago, we just didn't have that instantly bombarded at us 24/7.
Perhaps. But there wasn't a climate catastrophe happening back then. The nuclear threat had just began and it has only gotten worse. The US had not had so much time to foment so many wars in so many places. Israel was not threatening to nuke anyone who disagreed with them. People who wanted the law to be acknowledged were not threatened with execution as were those people who said that soldiers should not obey illegal orders. But yes, there was racism, real anti-semitism, misogyny, domestic violence etc. decades ago and that has not really improved much at all.
I lived through the USA's civil rights thing and am certain that as racism goes things are much better now. Not great but much different from what they were. I could be specific...
There is no "yellow line" anywhere. No physical, recognizable anything. They'll use any excuse to continue murdering with impunity knowing full well not one single soul will do a thing about it.
That is so true it breaks my heart. The everyday person would be in there stopping it if they could but, of course, they would be in prison as soon as they returned. Yet Americans and people from other countries can go ove to fight for israhell and come back to pats on the back from their Jewish families. Personally, I would ban them from ever returning to the country the came from because they obviously consider themselves israelis, so should be made to stay there as it falls apart.
It's all a cruel game to the zionists, the more ridiculous ways they can use to torture and torment Palestinians the more they will find to use.
Please, can some country with guts take them on and flatten Israel. It wouldn't need much, just get in there, bomb the hell out if them and leave them with nothing to return fire - it's a small place, a dozen aircraft could finish them off then the world could help Palestine to rebuild.
Without israhell the world would be a much more peaceful place, especially after all the media was taken away from the zionist jews, and their lobbying made illegal as well as them having high positions anywhere. It was done before before but we fell for the holocaust victim non-stop in movies, books and series. Even stories about Jesus they manage to become the victim even though it was the jews who, in fact, had him killed because he found them to be the children of satan - and 2,000+ years later we realise He was right.
I’m waiting on the lunatics to attack Iran again. Iran gave them an amazing kicking earlier this year. Israel quietly begged for a cease fire, but not before Iran had proven that even its lesser and older missile stock were more than up to the job. Next time I think the result will be much more catastrophic, and it definitely needs to be.
It is well known that Israel has nuclear missiles in submarines. There is a law that the USA can't send money to a country like that so they pretend they don't know.
I am told that they threaten to nuke Western capitals if Israel is being wiped out. It's called the Sampson Option. Is this really true?
I think the good people will get their act together sooner or later. Ireland and NYC are taking the lead, that's a very good sign of a turning of the tide. Most people are helpless without leadership.
There is no doubt in my mind that we are in the midst of Armageddon. I wish I knew what the next step is. As far as I remember, Armageddon does not signify it's the end of the world, or the end of the existence of humans in the world. Does anyone know?
Armageddon is from the Bible's book of Revelation. To me it reads like the ravings of a seriously crazy man. None of its predictions has ever come true. People can read whatever they like into this mush.
We live in an absolutely sick world. Never was humanity closer to self-destruction and israel and the west in general are the cancer of humanity. This is what human exceptionalism, greed, and arrogance brings.
Caitlin, so many wonderful 'points of reflection' and truth in this article! I couldn't agree with you more on ALL of them - Musk (who no one should listen to), the different reasons for anti-Israel sentiment from the left and right, the 'yellow-line' lies for killing more Palestinians, the obscene amount of power suckage for AI datacenters (which is going to worsen climate change problems and the ecology in ways most people are unaware of).
Thank you Caitlin! ❤️🙏
I recommend your readers to read the following book "Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence" by Kate Crawford.
Here's a synopsis -> "What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? This book details how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased racial, gender, and economic inequality. It also reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind “automated” services, to the data AI collects from us."
When anyone tries to conflate opposition to Israeli genocide with the alleged antisemitism, the correct response is to immediately tell them that is dishonest, in no uncertain terms.
I wonder... Could we paint a yellow line around Tel Aviv and other "Israeli" cities and settler colonies and then move the line inward by a foot each day, shooting and bombing them every time they cross the new yellow line? We might just end this horrible genocide of Gaza if we do.
Always the same systemic goal that began about three thousand years ago with long-distance barter: accumulating wealth. It doesn't matter how. First with slavery, then with servitude, then with the purchase of labor as a commodity, and finally with speculative finance. Each entity uses its own methods: Israel and its settlers stealing territory from the Palestinians, the US stealing oil from Venezuela, and Elon Musk stealing free thought with artificial intelligence. And so, from city-states to empires, one in a thousand exploits and dominates all the others, who, instead of uniting against those who exploit and dominate them, remain atomized, divided and competing with each other. This is the reality. If one dominates a thousand, it's only because the thousand accept this situation, thinking they'll gain some advantage from it. Meanwhile, they live increasingly worse.
"the thousand accept this situation, thinking they'll gain some advantage from it" Or maybe they can't imagine anything else. Or they know that no change is in view so they may as well take advantage. In bad cases they accept it to avoid punishment.
It's not as simple as you make out. I have no desire to protect Israel from Zionists but I do ask why some hate Israel and unfortunately it's either for nationalist ie imperialist reasons or antisemitism. That does pose problems for the Palestine solidarity movement which can't afford to be seen to be aligned with racists
Right or Left, this is rather easy to despise . . .
"The problem is not that there’s too much carnage in Gaza, but that people are seeing too much of it".

Another manufactured disaster to distract us will do the trick...

1975 wasn't that bad. 1945 on the other hand....

That's why Russia and China didn't veto the plan. It's 100% meaningless, so why bother?

In a move that should have surprised zero people at this point. What’s most surprising is that there is even a yellow line.

"Israel quietly begged for a cease fire" I bet it was more on the lines of stop or we'll nuke you.

For Israel it's always been a shell game, literally and figuratively, whether it's moving yellow blocks or shelling and genociding Palestinians.
There doesn't seem to be any bottom to this...

Thank you for answering my question. Much obliged.

There is so much wrong with the way things are now. And the BS being spewed about it. And how crappy things are for so many.

Who’s surprised? Nobody. And they’ve gotten away with much worse for nearly 80 years
I want 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Cancel Israel for World Peas. 1 State Palestine. Help Wanted.

I mean protect Israel from rightists of course

If you have to ask then you have not been paying attention for the past two years, at least, or the past fifty+years for a few of us.
