Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): A huge blast in Gaza has occurred at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, reportedly killing hundreds of people. The exact death toll is still unknown. Details of who is responsible for the explosion are being hotly debated by all parties, and this is still a developing story with a lot of details yet to be revealed. But what I’d like to quickly document as things unfold is the highly unusual number of mass media reporters I’ve been seeing who haven’t hesitated to point to Israel as the probable culprit.
I believe there is a real difference between being Jewish and being a Zionist. The first is a religion, with the usual schisms, opinions, secular & fundementalist sides etc. The second is a supporter of the rogue, nuclear, Apartheid nation in the Middle East, NAZI in character, so clearly Irony is not dead. Israel remembers The Warsaw Ghetto, now it creates the same in Gaza.
I also don't believe all Catholics were in the Irish Republican Army either, btw...
There's nothing wrong with being Jewish. Or Arab. Or anybody else. One doesn't choose what he is born into. But when one starts wielding their race as superior in any respect then it becomes a problem. Especially with cases like Jews given their recent treatment by Nazi Europe.
russian_bot: Race is a Eugenics Lie. But people do use their culture or nationality as a crutch and whining or superiority platform. e.g. Biden recently saying that the USA is the "essential nation". Hogwash.
The Jews love to talk about their “race”…….Hogwash. The Jews are as diverse as “Americans” and are anything but a monolithic Race. What the vast majority of the Jews are not, are Semites. The very few remaining “Semitic” Jews left in the world…and their descendants…..live in Palestine and are being bombed into extinction.
The “true” Jewish homeland is the territory that is now Ukraine. That is more than likely why Zelensky and the zionists are….with the help of the US….depopulating that area as we speak.
Mostly correct, but genetic studies have shown that virtually all of the Ashkenazi (non-Semitic) Jews are related at the level of 7th cousin. The race thing is fluid, but the reality is that, historically, wherever Jews have lived in any numbers, they have self segregated. It is only in the last 150 years that people, regardless of their origin were NOT born, raised, married and died within 20 miles of their birthplace. That meant most people were related at some level.
"Race" is a political construct having zero basis in biology. Personally I only recognise the Human Race. Perhaps it's rude but convenient shorthand for "culture" or skin colour?
Actually, I think it's to help really stupid bullies do their thing.
Here's my old thought - there's really no racism. Or, rather, there is, of course, but it is an instance of the more general malady, which is bullying. Proof? Even in mono-racial societies bullying exists and the picking is based on some characteristic: physical features, mental peculiarities, etc. For the bullies there's got to be some work to identify those and pick on them.
Enter race, especially different color. Wow, so easy to pick on! And then, of course, the bullying scales.
Actually, people "discriminate" in hundreds of ways and it has nothing to do with bullying. We all choose our friends, have favourite foods, colours, clothes, styles, teams etc. W e choose the church/temple/synagogue we attend. All of the above, and more, are discriminatory. Bullies, on the other hand, will attempt to bully regardless of the person. What they pick on is the excuse they use.
It is illogical to say "race" does not exist. There are many species and sub species in the Animal Kingdom with subtle differences that most humans cannot differentiate, but are genetically different. "Race" is species/sub-species.
We share 90+% of our DNA with bovines, yet no one would suggest we are the same animal. Races are real. Some are better at some things than others, just as some individuals are better at some things than others. So what? Denying race is foolish. Everyone should be proud of his/her genetic heritage. It doesn't mean one is inherently better than another.
You stated: "there's really no racism. Or, rather, there is, of course, but it is an instance of the more general malady, which is bullying. " As "proof" you say it is bullying, because it happens in mono-racial societies. You can't have "racism" without "race". I know Chinese and Arabs that don't like Negroes because they perceive them as violent. That has nothing to do with bullying. I have met American Indians and Blacks that openly admit they don't like "Whites" because of perceived wrongdoings of long ago. That has nothing to do with bullying. Many people of all races, don't like Germans because of WWII. That has nothing to do with bullying. You can't make people like each other. There are people who dislike and avoid others solely because of their race". That only becomes a problem if they cause harm through violence, economic, or other means. Of those that do dislike people solely because of their race, the number who actually act out is relatively small. I agree that there are bullies and violent thugs in all races, but what racism is considered to be is much more than just bullying. Even Mohammed Ali understood that most people, given a choice, prefer to be with people like themselves, bullies or otherwise.
I suggest readers who want to understand why Zionism is terrible and actually the enemy of Judaism, should watch Kim Iversen's recent Rumble interview with a New York rabbi who explains it all.
Zionists stole the Jewish identity to justify their land grab of Palestine, to hide their human rights abuses behind the deep sympathy most people have for the victims of the Holocaust, and to cancel all critics with their incessant use of the term “anti-semite”. Israel is a Zionist state, not a Jewish state. All Jews are not Zionists. In fact, most Zionists are Christian.
Then why do only 30% of Jews worldwide live in Israel? More than half of all Jews live in the U.S. Of course some Jews living outside Israel identify as Zionists, but there are also many Jews living in Israel who are not Zionists. The terms Jew, Israeli, and Zionist are not equivalent.
As an anti-zionist secular Jewish person I think there are a lot more anti-zionists than you think. It depends a lot on how you define Zionism when you ask the question.
My understanding, which is not extensive, is that Zionism is an outgrowth of 19th century European ideas of nationalism, one could even say tribalism, which ultimately culminated in a couple of devastating wars in the 20th century, and the modern state of Israel is an extension of that. Nationalism in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, but the "Racial Purity" component of it is. Obviously, there is no such thing as "Racial Purity," which is a fictitious concept meant to manipulate masses of people into accepting an economic paradigm that degrades them while posing a convenient minority to pin the blame of degradation upon.
Anytime it's Me versus You, I'm gonna pick me. Surprise 😮 But Zionists have turned nasty, AND they have turned NAZI. There is zero cultural reflection on how violent and oppressive Zionist policy is or how it resembles the German NAZIs treatment of the Jews. A homeland, FIVE THOUSAND years ago ain't their homeland again, now. Or are we also returning the ancient homelands of Carthage? Chalcadea? Assyria? How about Cheyenne territory? Apache? Wankers.
Ukraine has always wanted (and still does according to Zelensky) to be like Israel and behaved this same way towards Donbas since 2014. Constantly claiming Donbas shot at itself, etc. No wonder, given Israelis took big part in training them and have been fighting alongside now.
Eventually that shot down Malaysia plane will get justice as to who did it. Ukrainian Nazis, that's who.
No, Zelensky is just a Khazarian, they are not Jews by blood, but a people who merely took on the Jewish religion as a disguise and as a desperate attempt to avoid prosecution by other nations for their criminal activities.
Criminalism is the only true thing in the blood of the Khazarians, and that came out in WWII in the form of the Stepan Bandera led Nazi's.
Zelensky is also an actor/comedian who has been prompted by hos controllers, to understand that the way to the American heart, is through Israel, and that you have to be in with Israel in order to remain "In" with America, and how other than attempting to take on the same persona of being a supposed Jew.
Interestingly enough, Netanyahu sent Zelensky packing a few days ago when he pitched up in Israel like the sychophant that he is, maybe Netanyahu could smell the Khazarian in Zelensky, and by now most probably realises that Israel backed the wrong horse in the Ukraine conflict.
What are you trying to say? That Jews are still superior in some way?
And by the way, nobody gives a damn whether it's Khazarian or Jew, blood or urine. They are considered Jews and identify themselves as such. If real Jews are so concerned they should be outing the fake ones every single time.
Your comment was gibberish. Are you a real Jew? Upset at being sullied by Khazarians, the fake ones? Can you, as a blue-blooded Jew, unmistakably identify a Khazarian when you see one? What do you do when you encounter one? Expose them as fakes?
That is, what is your main point, your main problem?
KC Erasmus: You are promoting Eugenics propaganda from the Big Boys that you pretend to dislike. You do this every time you bring up "race" or "blood lines".
Its understanding the concept of do unto others as you would have done unto you, that you need to grasp, not your cock-eyed only one side matters perspective.
Dang boys this went sideways fast. I don’t know any of you but judging by the comments, I think we’re all on the same team. KC was simply explaining the jewish diaspora and it makes sense (to me) given all that has transpired recently. Pardon my interruption...
KC had plenty of time and opportunity to provide something other than his over-heated racist rhetoric. He could have explained that Mark Zuckerberg is a Khazar and, gosh, I would have listened more carefully. /s
"Most Christians fail to understand that Israel today was created and is controlled by Khazarian Jews. Thus, no Biblical promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob apply to the synagogue of Satan today."
There is "just enough truth" that one is tempted to agree with it. What "truth"? The existence of what I call "The Oligarchy", which is unrelated to religion or race or ethnicity, but a broad indictment of those who care solely for accumulation of power and money for themselves rather than advancement of humanity as a whole.
"Textual witnesses dating from the 9th and 10th centuries claim the Khazars adopted Judaism in the 8th century. These texts are not without problems, however, and lack of archaeological or other physical evidence indicating a mass conversion has called both the extent and historicity of this conversion into doubt."
In any case, this is all from 1000 years ago. It is more obfuscation and diversion of the type the Oligarchy continually spreads to divert us from the true cause of our suffering -- Oligarchic greed.
This is the kind of propaganda the ADL and AIPAC keep spreading subverting the Jewish religion for the benefit of their power/wealth accumulation. (Any Jew who insists that Israel has a right to exist serves these Oligarchs). The Calvinists did the same thing with their central theme, "God loves you if you're rich. If you aren't rich God doesn't love you. It does not matter how you became rich." (Any American who praises Capitalism and the "Free Market" serves a different group of Oligarchs)
KC is just trying to smear some long-forgotten group of peoples who have no real existence today. "Let's blame the Khazar's!" vs "Let's blame the Jews!"
One more thing I need to include here is people choose their own leadership. Americans have allowed the neocons to perpetrate the GWOT for the benefit of the Oligarchy. Jews have allowed the Zionists to commit genocide against the Palestinians. As long as there is suffering on this planet that we turn away from and ignore or claim we can do nothing about, we are all guilty.
We allow the Oligarchy (somewhat synonomous with the mafia) to control our politics, our economies, our religions and our lives. The Oligarchy is not some "Deep State". They are on the cover of Forbes, Newsweek and The Atlantic. For some reason, we just don't want to see it because we want to see "good Oligarchs" and "bad Oligarchs".
KC didn't explain shit. But I would appreciate your input as you seem to have understood what he meant. You can see the questions I asked the "analyst" who ducked every single time.
Gained a conscience - or finally accepting that the truth will out anyway - may as well get ahead of it. Sometimes, as in Ukrainian "Russia did it!" lies, the truth will out within minutes. Unless and until the internet is absolutely and rigidly controlled and curated, may as well tell the truth. Not a conscience, perhaps, but a recognition that reality will bite hard, in some cases.
Millions in the Arab world are in the streets right now, even late at night. This is the beginning of the end - the only thing I can think of that might save their country from catastrophic ruin - is if Israel immediately announces a cease fire to its ongoing ethnic cleansing. Otherwise, the only question remaining is how much of the world are they going to take with them - is it going to be a re-enactment of Samson at the Temple?
It took 3 years for covid BS to become 'mistakes', 18 months for the war in Ukraine to be seen as a waste of money and a hopeless cause, but barely a week for reports of baby beheading to be retracted, misleading reports of peace protests to be retracted, UK support for Israel to be declared on MSM as complicity in warcrimes, ex Israeli PM's and the ambassador to the UK to be questioned by MSM about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to reveal themselves by saying they don't care because Palestinian children are nazis, and for MSM to doubt dubious reports that the Palestinians blew up their own hospital.
They have overplayed their hand this time. I hope it brings the whole house of cards down.
And why is it always necessary when stating an established fact concerning Israel - to back it by the assurance you aren't anti-semitic? The moon is 280,000 miles from Earth: do your other beliefs, associations , credentials, have any bearing on that?
Right now, one of the most important considerations is Motive.
Why would Hamas attack a hospital in which their own Palestinian people are, and the services of which they, themselves may need, in addition to Hamas needing to maintain the support and trust of the Palestinian people???
On the other hand, Israel attacking the hospital serves two purposes, one to show how brutal they can be in an attempt to strike fear into Hamas and the Palestinian people as Israel sends their version of a "message", and of course on the other hand, Israel is attempting to systematically destroy all infrastructure and services within Gaza, in attempt to get the Palestinians to leave the region and flee to other countries.
And that Russia supposedly bombed a civilian market in a region already occupied by the Russians, until a reflection of the incoming missile on several cars exposed the direction from which it was fired, exposing the Ukraine.
It will be no different with this attack on the hospital, as evidence will arise proving it to be an Israeli missile.
KC Erasmus: For all we know there were a bunch of dead bodies in the basement of the hospital in a makeshift morgue. The bodies were leaking Methane gas. This morgue was unfortunately next to the propane gas and oxygen tanks for the hospital.
Two medical staff came down to the morgue to feck. They then lit cigarettes afterwards.
By the way Asshole, if you actually had the slightest inkling of Savvy, you would have realised that my comment is Independent of the news item, and is an appeal to common sense and rationality.
However this evidently didn't penetrate your Thick Skull!!!
I trust your expertise in those matters, as well as brands used. Another reason you're here with us. As some of those fireworks surely would have happened in the proximity of something highly flammable.
russian_bot: Years ago in Seattle, which as you know is a rainy soggy dreary place, there was a miracle one Halloween.
It was sunny and 80F even at sunset.
My friend and I went down to Pioneer Square to check out the Halloween festivities.
As we walked from bar to bar we saw many people wearing costumes to celebrate the holiday and the extraordinary weather.
My friend and I gazed across the street and saw a pretty woman wearing a cardboard costume of the KY Jelly box. It ended at the top of her attractive thighs.
It appears to be in the war plans of Hamas to lure the IDF into a ground force invasion.
They would have figured on a certain number of prior civilian casualties as the IDF Air Force collapsed entire buildings, killing everyone inside.
This can go on for only so long until the IDF is forced to conduct ground force operations.
_________
If so, the IDF will take high casualty rates.
The IDF is not the Russian Armed Forces - Chechen Forces and Masters of Street Warfare close in work and who removed very well dug in Ukrainian - NATO Forces, the latter having spent several years prior to the SMO creating underground fortifications in Eastern Ukrainian cities, now gone, with cities rebuilt of underway.
_________
Like NATO - Ukrainian Forces, IDF Forces are overrated, not having taken on a peer competitor and having the benefit of air cover.
Not the case in this urban conflict, perhaps the reason for a delayed foray and the delivery of US bunker buster munitions.
Yet another reason stems from the appearance of US - UK naval battle groups, out of proportion to needs and so suggesting there was another plan here.
The Israeli Prime Minister did remark - "I will not go into detail of what will come next, but I will say that it is just the beginning".
They knew it was coming.
_________
Europe is awash with US-NATO-UK small armaments sold out of The Ukraine. Small includes shoulder launched missiles.
One may expect damaging or very damaging actions in European cities by pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli factions, not necessarily the same thing.
There is a reason this campaign was called Al-Aqsa Flood, arising from events of October 4th and one that does not sit well with the entire World of Islam.

Washington's unconditional support for Tel Aviv has proved disastrous for Washington and Tel Aviv.
The Decline of The West is written in the centres of Western Liberal Democracy, so called . . . https://les7eb.substack.com/
After 16 years of being confined in the world's largest concentration camp, with electricity 3 hours a day and having to bathe in salt water because the Israelis limit that supply as well, it's really no surprise to see armed Gazans attempt a prison break.
How is ANY change a bad idea for them? Don't you get it? They're desperate. They don't give a damn anymore. Just like the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943.
I wasn't suggesting that any change is a bad idea however it would be a good change for the ''WEST'' to simply stop supporting the human rights defying fascist Israeli apartheid regime which is part and package of empire.
It's the duty of the oppressed to resist their oppressors - to me It's looking like they were setup to take the blame for a false claim about the babies in order to justify the response by the IDF.
So now they're being blamed for destroying the hospital - which is unbelievable.
The Gaza strip is considered prime real estate by the settlers and just like a reoccurring scenario found all over the world the indigenous people are an obstacle to developing it.
Then there's that massive oil and natural gasfield which rightfully belongs to the Palestinians.
On a side note - Western politici are lacking the testicular fortitude to stand up to their masters who represent empire as doing so is likely to provoke a negative effect on their next paychecks and long term career prospects - How the proverbial West became US/UK vassal states relates back to the 1930's and second world war where the territories liberated from the Nazi's by the ''allied'' all became submissive and obedient vassal states - not much attention is dedicated to researching who actually financed the Nazi's in the first place.
Well, we can reject the hypotheses that: (a) it’s too flimsy to get behind (as they will get behind any narrative); or (b) they are worried about their reputation (because they have no credibility already). Given this, we should assume that for some reason the powers that be, after lining up behind Israel, are now trying to trim Israel’s sails on this - possibly too late given the reaction in the Street.
USrAel is a ziopathic DEATH CULT and its supporters are weak minded sycophants.
They can dehumanize the Palestinians all they want but it wont change the fact we see clearly their profoundly sick ethnic cleansing evil agenda. At this point i don't even care if israel is whipped off the map. If anyone earned it they earned it ten fold over for the last 80 years... FUCK Israel.. cause that's the game you want to play!!! and that's all you have ever known as a "society" The wondering who indeed!
Interesting to notice MSM reporters aren't buying into the official narrative.
What happened that they're suddenly willing to risk their bread and butter for articles and opinions their editors would under normal circumstances never publish or pay them for.
Bibi is a genius. He’s irredeemably fractured Israel, potentially leading to a civil war once they’ve finished their god given genocidal mission, he’s United all the Arabs, Suni and Shiite, made the US a pariah in the region, and elevated the status of Russia and China. And still the US, in true battered wife fashion, keep him. (To be fair, no one else really wants us anymore. We tend to steal their money.) God bless him.
"After noting that Israel is blaming the blast on a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad..."
I was immediately reminded of a fire & blast-proof indestructible passport of a horrible nasty **MUSLIM** hijacker that was miraculously found near to the 9/11 crime scene. To my mind, the same amount of strange amateurism exists in both atrocities. Can't have been israel though, it was busy that day.
But it WAS the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. I'm on the side of Palestinian resistance, that is why I don't want to be accused of lies. When it's the Palestinian resistance who killed 500 children, we must say so. It wasn't a targeted hospital by Israel. The Islamist Jihad used Palestinian civilians as human shields.
The israelis have installed very serious surveillance measures upon Gaza. They know what's going on before Gaza itself knows. There's no doubt whatsoever that for the whole time that Hamas was preparing the trigger attack israel was watching and preparing to sacrifice some of its peoples in order to have a reason to demolish Gaza for the continuing land grab from the Euphrates to the Nile. In other words, the '500 children', etc., took one for the team. Netanyahu's IDF took their time to intervene if you look at timelines & listen to eyewitnesses. Initially there was copious 'friendly' fire. Whether that was deliberate or due to fright & sheer terror within the ranks of the teenage soldiers waits to be investigated but it's certainly the fog of war that's currently about. The overall policy I feel is to conduct genocidal warfare by deception. Nothing at all is off the table when world domination [by the Zionists] is being actively pursued. The current murderous spree most certainly includes not only the bombing of hospitals and churches but also the turning off of the entirety of Gaza's life support by these deluded sadistic supremacist psychos and their little megalomaniac helpers in the Zionist Occupied Governments [ZOG] of the U$ofA & the UK, etc. Palestinians are set to be exterminated & all traces of their existence to be removed so the insane Zionist chant of 'for a people without a land, a land without a people' can enter the history books and pose as undeniable truth.
Sorry for the rant but I'm sick to death of the Zionist cult.
So there's no doubt that Hamas was preparing the trigger attack to sacrifice some of its people". It was ultimately Palestinian resistance who did it. Allowed or not, they did it. We can't excuse them. It's not justified. It's not Israel who did it.
As a fruitarian in search of my own personal cancer cure I don't even kill a carrot so it is plain to see & understand that I view killing as wrong in the vast majority of cases & I don't excuse it. I do however retain the right to self defence as do the Palestinians and anyone else in the cosmos. That right of self-defence does not belong exclusively to israel as the media like to continually browbeat us with. The issue in self-defence is proportionality. If my assailant is intent on murdering me framing the moment in 'kill or be killed', my assailant can expect the same treatment without any hesitation. The siege of Gaza is a murderous siege brought about by Zionist assailants/invaders. Some Palestinians are exercising their right to self-defence against the Zionists. QED.
~
As a side note, I see the West Bank is on the verge of being tortured to death even though the israeli-created Hamas has not been installed there. It's ok though! Remote but AI controlled machine gun posts are installed so when Palestinians are mowed down Zionists can always blame AI as the murderer & not israel. Won't be long before the machine gun equipped robot dogs roam those streets to join in the Zionist fun & games before such machines are unleashed everywhere in the world where the Zionist-pronounced 'cattle people' live.
I believe there is a real difference between being Jewish and being a Zionist. The first is a religion, with the usual schisms, opinions, secular & fundementalist sides etc. The second is a supporter of the rogue, nuclear, Apartheid nation in the Middle East, NAZI in character, so clearly Irony is not dead. Israel remembers The Warsaw Ghetto, now it creates the same in Gaza.
I also don't believe all Catholics were in the Irish Republican Army either, btw...
There's nothing wrong with being Jewish. Or Arab. Or anybody else. One doesn't choose what he is born into. But when one starts wielding their race as superior in any respect then it becomes a problem. Especially with cases like Jews given their recent treatment by Nazi Europe.

Nailed it.

Finn: I agree. That idea is hogwash.
Omg..i do not do msm. He said that? I guess i should not be surprised. We are no 1 terrorist nation
Pat: Biden said "We are the essential nation" on a recent interview on "60 Minutes".
🤮
Was he trying to say "exceptional"? Because that is what apparently God endowed the USA with - Exceptionalism™
russian_bot: Yes. Biden was probably trying to say "exceptional" but the tape in his head skipped.

Gaza concentration camp where they pick them off for fun..

Israel is a Zionist state, not a Jewish state. All Jews are not Zionists. In fact, most Zionists are Christian.
For an eye-opening discussion of the Jewish opposition to Zionism, see Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro’s recent interview on the Kim Iversen Show (https://rumble.com/v3p3lte-october-13-2023.html).
Then why do only 30% of Jews worldwide live in Israel? More than half of all Jews live in the U.S. Of course some Jews living outside Israel identify as Zionists, but there are also many Jews living in Israel who are not Zionists. The terms Jew, Israeli, and Zionist are not equivalent.

Eventually that shot down Malaysia plane will get justice as to who did it. Ukrainian Nazis, that's who.
Ziolensky is most certainly a Mossad operation...
He is a Nazi Jew - a perfect face for the State of Israel. And he works for them all: Mossad, CIA, MI6, BND, etc.
No, Zelensky is just a Khazarian, they are not Jews by blood, but a people who merely took on the Jewish religion as a disguise and as a desperate attempt to avoid prosecution by other nations for their criminal activities.
Criminalism is the only true thing in the blood of the Khazarians, and that came out in WWII in the form of the Stepan Bandera led Nazi's.

Interestingly enough, Netanyahu sent Zelensky packing a few days ago when he pitched up in Israel like the sychophant that he is, maybe Netanyahu could smell the Khazarian in Zelensky, and by now most probably realises that Israel backed the wrong horse in the Ukraine conflict.
What are you trying to say? That Jews are still superior in some way?
And by the way, nobody gives a damn whether it's Khazarian or Jew, blood or urine. They are considered Jews and identify themselves as such. If real Jews are so concerned they should be outing the fake ones every single time.
Also, did Hitler know the difference?
I really need to ask you what you are saying, because your comment is totally irrational, and does not reflect my comment as a whole, in any way.
Your comment was gibberish. Are you a real Jew? Upset at being sullied by Khazarians, the fake ones? Can you, as a blue-blooded Jew, unmistakably identify a Khazarian when you see one? What do you do when you encounter one? Expose them as fakes?
That is, what is your main point, your main problem?
KC Erasmus: LOL @ "Jews by blood". Hilarious. Is there a blood test to detect Jews?
Are you that much of an Ignoramus, that you have never heard such terminology used???
Really???
If so, its the reason why you should Not be commenting, at all, as there is enough Moronic Ignorance in the world and no need for more of yours.
KC Erasmus: You are promoting Eugenics propaganda from the Big Boys that you pretend to dislike. You do this every time you bring up "race" or "blood lines".
Sounds to me like you're a racist trying to deflect the blame for crimes of another race -- or is it a religion -- or just a cult?
No, its your heightened level of confusion!!!
Its understanding the concept of do unto others as you would have done unto you, that you need to grasp, not your cock-eyed only one side matters perspective.
Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
"...a people who merely took on the Jewish religion..." Neither Zelensky nor his parents are at all known to be even moderately religious.
Dang boys this went sideways fast. I don’t know any of you but judging by the comments, I think we’re all on the same team. KC was simply explaining the jewish diaspora and it makes sense (to me) given all that has transpired recently. Pardon my interruption...
KC had plenty of time and opportunity to provide something other than his over-heated racist rhetoric. He could have explained that Mark Zuckerberg is a Khazar and, gosh, I would have listened more carefully. /s
Or he could have provided a link to this racist screed: https://www.jesusisprecious.org/history/khazarian_jews.htm
"Most Christians fail to understand that Israel today was created and is controlled by Khazarian Jews. Thus, no Biblical promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob apply to the synagogue of Satan today."
There is "just enough truth" that one is tempted to agree with it. What "truth"? The existence of what I call "The Oligarchy", which is unrelated to religion or race or ethnicity, but a broad indictment of those who care solely for accumulation of power and money for themselves rather than advancement of humanity as a whole.
The claim that the Khazar's are fake jews is countered by: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Khazar
"Textual witnesses dating from the 9th and 10th centuries claim the Khazars adopted Judaism in the 8th century. These texts are not without problems, however, and lack of archaeological or other physical evidence indicating a mass conversion has called both the extent and historicity of this conversion into doubt."
In any case, this is all from 1000 years ago. It is more obfuscation and diversion of the type the Oligarchy continually spreads to divert us from the true cause of our suffering -- Oligarchic greed.
This is the kind of propaganda the ADL and AIPAC keep spreading subverting the Jewish religion for the benefit of their power/wealth accumulation. (Any Jew who insists that Israel has a right to exist serves these Oligarchs). The Calvinists did the same thing with their central theme, "God loves you if you're rich. If you aren't rich God doesn't love you. It does not matter how you became rich." (Any American who praises Capitalism and the "Free Market" serves a different group of Oligarchs)
KC is just trying to smear some long-forgotten group of peoples who have no real existence today. "Let's blame the Khazar's!" vs "Let's blame the Jews!"
One more thing I need to include here is people choose their own leadership. Americans have allowed the neocons to perpetrate the GWOT for the benefit of the Oligarchy. Jews have allowed the Zionists to commit genocide against the Palestinians. As long as there is suffering on this planet that we turn away from and ignore or claim we can do nothing about, we are all guilty.
We allow the Oligarchy (somewhat synonomous with the mafia) to control our politics, our economies, our religions and our lives. The Oligarchy is not some "Deep State". They are on the cover of Forbes, Newsweek and The Atlantic. For some reason, we just don't want to see it because we want to see "good Oligarchs" and "bad Oligarchs".
KC didn't explain shit. But I would appreciate your input as you seem to have understood what he meant. You can see the questions I asked the "analyst" who ducked every single time.
Right on. KC is just screaming his own propaganda and then reacting violently when we don't agree with it.
I think he is a comic by training and a figurehead is his current role. The US UK UKR NEOCON NEONAZI APPARATCHIKS RUN THE SHOW.
It’s good to know that there are journalists who have gained a conscience. We know that Israel definitely lacks a conscience.
Gained a conscience - or finally accepting that the truth will out anyway - may as well get ahead of it. Sometimes, as in Ukrainian "Russia did it!" lies, the truth will out within minutes. Unless and until the internet is absolutely and rigidly controlled and curated, may as well tell the truth. Not a conscience, perhaps, but a recognition that reality will bite hard, in some cases.
Millions in the Arab world are in the streets right now, even late at night. This is the beginning of the end - the only thing I can think of that might save their country from catastrophic ruin - is if Israel immediately announces a cease fire to its ongoing ethnic cleansing. Otherwise, the only question remaining is how much of the world are they going to take with them - is it going to be a re-enactment of Samson at the Temple?
Looks like the Christians are about to see that "second coming" they so urgently want.

Were I a Russian, I'd view this as an existential threat. Nukes are about to be "fair".
The nukes will fly. It's been clear for a very long, long time.
I think Chekhov said something to the effect that if during the first act of a play you see a rifle hanging on the wall, by the last one it will fire.
No one takes the nukes seriously anymore. They want to see them in action.
Shared far and wide!
I refer you to “The Samson Option,” by Seymour Hirsch.
It took 3 years for covid BS to become 'mistakes', 18 months for the war in Ukraine to be seen as a waste of money and a hopeless cause, but barely a week for reports of baby beheading to be retracted, misleading reports of peace protests to be retracted, UK support for Israel to be declared on MSM as complicity in warcrimes, ex Israeli PM's and the ambassador to the UK to be questioned by MSM about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to reveal themselves by saying they don't care because Palestinian children are nazis, and for MSM to doubt dubious reports that the Palestinians blew up their own hospital.
They have overplayed their hand this time. I hope it brings the whole house of cards down.
And why is it always necessary when stating an established fact concerning Israel - to back it by the assurance you aren't anti-semitic? The moon is 280,000 miles from Earth: do your other beliefs, associations , credentials, have any bearing on that?
Doris: I personally don't like termites. I call the exterminator.
Right now, one of the most important considerations is Motive.
Why would Hamas attack a hospital in which their own Palestinian people are, and the services of which they, themselves may need, in addition to Hamas needing to maintain the support and trust of the Palestinian people???
On the other hand, Israel attacking the hospital serves two purposes, one to show how brutal they can be in an attempt to strike fear into Hamas and the Palestinian people as Israel sends their version of a "message", and of course on the other hand, Israel is attempting to systematically destroy all infrastructure and services within Gaza, in attempt to get the Palestinians to leave the region and flee to other countries.
In the same way that Russia supposedly bombed its own pipeline.
Same propaganda factory behind all this.
And that Russia supposedly bombed a civilian market in a region already occupied by the Russians, until a reflection of the incoming missile on several cars exposed the direction from which it was fired, exposing the Ukraine.
It will be no different with this attack on the hospital, as evidence will arise proving it to be an Israeli missile.
I noticed it’s already absent from the MSM!
KC Erasmus: For all we know there were a bunch of dead bodies in the basement of the hospital in a makeshift morgue. The bodies were leaking Methane gas. This morgue was unfortunately next to the propane gas and oxygen tanks for the hospital.
Two medical staff came down to the morgue to feck. They then lit cigarettes afterwards.
BOOM!
How revealing that you make fun of a humanitarian disaster.
If it were up to me I'd have you banned from this blog.
Finn: What irritates me most about leftist progressive Marxists and neocons is their lack of a sense of humor.
Go cry in your beer.

GordM: In Germany you would be put in jail for using swastika in comment.
Yeah right, Israel bombed a hospital in which everyone was already dead!!!
No wonder the world is such a Fucking Mess with your kind of irrational bullshit being added to it.
KC Erasmus: Did you even read the story? LOL!
BTW, what is Erasmus doing in Kansas City? I like Erasmus' indifference to wealth and power and his synergism. He wasn't popular.
Perhaps you should emulate your namesake a bit.
Haven't you got a hospital to bomb somewhere or perhaps a school???
Your level of perception and comprehension is now at gutter level, confirming that you are overcome by Bonhoeffer's theory of Stupidity.
By the way Asshole, if you actually had the slightest inkling of Savvy, you would have realised that my comment is Independent of the news item, and is an appeal to common sense and rationality.

KC Uranus: Your insults are boring.
That must be where your head is!
Wrong, Timmy! The fecking itself produced fireworks. Never got to the fag stage.
russian_bot: This is why KY Jelly is so important!
I trust your expertise in those matters, as well as brands used. Another reason you're here with us. As some of those fireworks surely would have happened in the proximity of something highly flammable.
russian_bot: We guys in Seattle had two jokes:
A: We are the last home of the last true American white man.
B: You can always tell a Seattle girl. When she opens her mouth a light comes on.
Must have been quite a while back.
russian_bot: Years ago in Seattle, which as you know is a rainy soggy dreary place, there was a miracle one Halloween.
It was sunny and 80F even at sunset.
My friend and I went down to Pioneer Square to check out the Halloween festivities.
As we walked from bar to bar we saw many people wearing costumes to celebrate the holiday and the extraordinary weather.
My friend and I gazed across the street and saw a pretty woman wearing a cardboard costume of the KY Jelly box. It ended at the top of her attractive thighs.
I've been a KY Jelly user ever since.
You're a legend, Timmy. I think I already said that, but it's worth repeating.
It appears to be in the war plans of Hamas to lure the IDF into a ground force invasion.
They would have figured on a certain number of prior civilian casualties as the IDF Air Force collapsed entire buildings, killing everyone inside.
This can go on for only so long until the IDF is forced to conduct ground force operations.
_________
If so, the IDF will take high casualty rates.
The IDF is not the Russian Armed Forces - Chechen Forces and Masters of Street Warfare close in work and who removed very well dug in Ukrainian - NATO Forces, the latter having spent several years prior to the SMO creating underground fortifications in Eastern Ukrainian cities, now gone, with cities rebuilt of underway.
_________
Like NATO - Ukrainian Forces, IDF Forces are overrated, not having taken on a peer competitor and having the benefit of air cover.
Not the case in this urban conflict, perhaps the reason for a delayed foray and the delivery of US bunker buster munitions.
Yet another reason stems from the appearance of US - UK naval battle groups, out of proportion to needs and so suggesting there was another plan here.
The Israeli Prime Minister did remark - "I will not go into detail of what will come next, but I will say that it is just the beginning".
They knew it was coming.
_________
Europe is awash with US-NATO-UK small armaments sold out of The Ukraine. Small includes shoulder launched missiles.
One may expect damaging or very damaging actions in European cities by pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli factions, not necessarily the same thing.
There is a reason this campaign was called Al-Aqsa Flood, arising from events of October 4th and one that does not sit well with the entire World of Islam.

Washington's unconditional support for Tel Aviv has proved disastrous for Washington and Tel Aviv.

It was a really bad idea of Hama to provide the IDF with the perfect opportunity to respond.
Looking like they were set up.
After 16 years of being confined in the world's largest concentration camp, with electricity 3 hours a day and having to bathe in salt water because the Israelis limit that supply as well, it's really no surprise to see armed Gazans attempt a prison break.
How is ANY change a bad idea for them? Don't you get it? They're desperate. They don't give a damn anymore. Just like the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943.
I thought it was more than that.
I wasn't suggesting that any change is a bad idea however it would be a good change for the ''WEST'' to simply stop supporting the human rights defying fascist Israeli apartheid regime which is part and package of empire.
It's the duty of the oppressed to resist their oppressors - to me It's looking like they were setup to take the blame for a false claim about the babies in order to justify the response by the IDF.
The claim about the babies was debunked early on - https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/11/beheaded-israeli-babies-settler-wipe-out-palestinian/
So now they're being blamed for destroying the hospital - which is unbelievable.
The Gaza strip is considered prime real estate by the settlers and just like a reoccurring scenario found all over the world the indigenous people are an obstacle to developing it.
Then there's that massive oil and natural gasfield which rightfully belongs to the Palestinians.
On a side note - Western politici are lacking the testicular fortitude to stand up to their masters who represent empire as doing so is likely to provoke a negative effect on their next paychecks and long term career prospects - How the proverbial West became US/UK vassal states relates back to the 1930's and second world war where the territories liberated from the Nazi's by the ''allied'' all became submissive and obedient vassal states - not much attention is dedicated to researching who actually financed the Nazi's in the first place.
Well, we can reject the hypotheses that: (a) it’s too flimsy to get behind (as they will get behind any narrative); or (b) they are worried about their reputation (because they have no credibility already). Given this, we should assume that for some reason the powers that be, after lining up behind Israel, are now trying to trim Israel’s sails on this - possibly too late given the reaction in the Street.
USrAel is a ziopathic DEATH CULT and its supporters are weak minded sycophants.
They can dehumanize the Palestinians all they want but it wont change the fact we see clearly their profoundly sick ethnic cleansing evil agenda. At this point i don't even care if israel is whipped off the map. If anyone earned it they earned it ten fold over for the last 80 years... FUCK Israel.. cause that's the game you want to play!!! and that's all you have ever known as a "society" The wondering who indeed!
Or as a French diplomat described it, “That shitty little country”.
I call it the USrAel control center in the middle East too
Interesting to notice MSM reporters aren't buying into the official narrative.
What happened that they're suddenly willing to risk their bread and butter for articles and opinions their editors would under normal circumstances never publish or pay them for.
It's nice but it's also suspicious.
Bibi is a genius. He’s irredeemably fractured Israel, potentially leading to a civil war once they’ve finished their god given genocidal mission, he’s United all the Arabs, Suni and Shiite, made the US a pariah in the region, and elevated the status of Russia and China. And still the US, in true battered wife fashion, keep him. (To be fair, no one else really wants us anymore. We tend to steal their money.) God bless him.
Yes, Bibi's such a genius he can't even get a majority approval rating in Israel AFTER this latest war started.
Oh, really? Where do you get that figure? The Times of Israel here says he has a 42% approval rating.

An obvious lie begs the question: how many more lies have been passed off? Lying is a habit or policy, and usually involves more of the same.
The Israelis have lied innumerable times to cover their atrocities. They still deny having nuclear weapons..
- A hypothesis thus far.
- The size of the US - UK carrier battle group leads to speculation that this was intended as a prelude to more.
They’d best be careful; they could go the way of the USS Liberty…
"After noting that Israel is blaming the blast on a failed rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad..."
I was immediately reminded of a fire & blast-proof indestructible passport of a horrible nasty **MUSLIM** hijacker that was miraculously found near to the 9/11 crime scene. To my mind, the same amount of strange amateurism exists in both atrocities. Can't have been israel though, it was busy that day.
But it WAS the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. I'm on the side of Palestinian resistance, that is why I don't want to be accused of lies. When it's the Palestinian resistance who killed 500 children, we must say so. It wasn't a targeted hospital by Israel. The Islamist Jihad used Palestinian civilians as human shields.
The israelis have installed very serious surveillance measures upon Gaza. They know what's going on before Gaza itself knows. There's no doubt whatsoever that for the whole time that Hamas was preparing the trigger attack israel was watching and preparing to sacrifice some of its peoples in order to have a reason to demolish Gaza for the continuing land grab from the Euphrates to the Nile. In other words, the '500 children', etc., took one for the team. Netanyahu's IDF took their time to intervene if you look at timelines & listen to eyewitnesses. Initially there was copious 'friendly' fire. Whether that was deliberate or due to fright & sheer terror within the ranks of the teenage soldiers waits to be investigated but it's certainly the fog of war that's currently about. The overall policy I feel is to conduct genocidal warfare by deception. Nothing at all is off the table when world domination [by the Zionists] is being actively pursued. The current murderous spree most certainly includes not only the bombing of hospitals and churches but also the turning off of the entirety of Gaza's life support by these deluded sadistic supremacist psychos and their little megalomaniac helpers in the Zionist Occupied Governments [ZOG] of the U$ofA & the UK, etc. Palestinians are set to be exterminated & all traces of their existence to be removed so the insane Zionist chant of 'for a people without a land, a land without a people' can enter the history books and pose as undeniable truth.
Sorry for the rant but I'm sick to death of the Zionist cult.
I believe that “Israel didn’t know about it” like I believe that the US ( AND Israel) didn’t know 9/11 was coming.
Which is to say, they’re both very poor liars willing to sacrifice their own for nefarious purposes.
So there's no doubt that Hamas was preparing the trigger attack to sacrifice some of its people". It was ultimately Palestinian resistance who did it. Allowed or not, they did it. We can't excuse them. It's not justified. It's not Israel who did it.
As a fruitarian in search of my own personal cancer cure I don't even kill a carrot so it is plain to see & understand that I view killing as wrong in the vast majority of cases & I don't excuse it. I do however retain the right to self defence as do the Palestinians and anyone else in the cosmos. That right of self-defence does not belong exclusively to israel as the media like to continually browbeat us with. The issue in self-defence is proportionality. If my assailant is intent on murdering me framing the moment in 'kill or be killed', my assailant can expect the same treatment without any hesitation. The siege of Gaza is a murderous siege brought about by Zionist assailants/invaders. Some Palestinians are exercising their right to self-defence against the Zionists. QED.
~
As a side note, I see the West Bank is on the verge of being tortured to death even though the israeli-created Hamas has not been installed there. It's ok though! Remote but AI controlled machine gun posts are installed so when Palestinians are mowed down Zionists can always blame AI as the murderer & not israel. Won't be long before the machine gun equipped robot dogs roam those streets to join in the Zionist fun & games before such machines are unleashed everywhere in the world where the Zionist-pronounced 'cattle people' live.
But Israel knew it was coming.
They know when any given Gazan blows his nose.
So? Not preventing something does not mean they have the responsibility of agency.
