"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East." - Father John Sheehan
Great comment. Seems like USA and Israel (and west in general) love to be hated. It gives them the sense of victimhood. They are "so innocent" but people of the world just hate them for "their freedoms" and other nonsensical BS.
It's nationalism, the effing poison of humanity -- carried to extremes only Zioinist filth can do. I see it everywhere, I find myself as an American of Italian descent rooting for all the Italian tennis players in the Rome Italian open, like a knee-jerk.
This lying Polish mofo is still breathing the same atmospheric mix of gases as the rest of us because each of us succumbs to nationalist bullshit urges on some level. We all need to stop. stop. Stop. We are citizens of Nature, the Biosphere. Humans components thereof. Fuck countries, nationalism, and fuck the ultra-extreme nationalism, aka chosen-people-ism of Israel and Bibi shithead.
Yes we are. But unfortunately in the WESTERN world we think we have better brains as white people. I have lived through this all my life. I feel that the West has lost all empathy if it had any.
I don't wonder at all. There are now 1000 US billionaires, a major portion of them Zionists. That kind of money doesn't just talk. Or even shout, It screams demands.
And I also reject the terminology antisemitism. It's anti-Israel, or anti-Zionist. Because the majority of those people aren't Semitic, like a friend of mine whose dad was born in Palestine, who is actually half-semitic and who gets rightfully pissed at hearing the term applied to Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern European mostly Slavic extraction.
It gets me so angry every time I read "antisemitism" in regard to Israel's zionist jew population. Years ago a jew admitted to a public broadcaster that it was a false use, used just to get the person/s from saying anything even slightly true about Israel's evil doings to Palestinians, who are actually honest- to-God semites.
“My parents often wondered why I would grow so indignant at the falsification and exploitation of the Nazi genocide. The most obvious answer is that it has been used to justify criminal policies of the Israeli state and US support for these policies.”
well said mr. zannoni, it's pretty staggering to think that after all the carnage and crimes against humanity we have witnessed and continue to witness, the number isn't in the single digits close to 0. It's disappointing and discouraging imo
Your comment is nearly a direct quote from a conversation I had over 35 years ago. I believed at the time that a giant fence should be erected around Israel, with no import nor export of anything or anyone allowed. I haven't changed my mind since... Look at the bright side. The more press Netanyahu receives, the more people will hate his sorry ass...
No, they need to be moved somewhere other than sitting on top of historic Palestine. Israel needs to be shifted to the USA, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, or my personal favourite candidate, Novaya Zemlya.
Well done for publishing and saying - Peace be upon you by Gaza and Jerusalem - Honour and victory are the allies of the axis of resistance and its allies, and humiliation and shame are for the axis of evil, Epstein Class (USA, Britain, France, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, NATO Governments, Zionist and Israel) and its allies.
I suppose it is difficult to maintain popular support, as Netanyahu complains, even through the MSM when you use animals to rape humans in Israeli prisons. That depth of depravity is a tough sell even if social media is the only source reporting it now.
More important than ever that the search for justice continues! 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.
Social media, a term which once puzzled me, has been accused of dumbing us down, depressing us, and causing us to commit suicide. But in fact, it has helped democratize the news, or public information and perception, by making, as Netanyahu points out, any of us capable of spreading our views.
And so it appears that "social media" has undermined the official propaganda of Israel and so has enlightened us more than dumbed us down. That is why billionaires, with a stake in keeping us "dumb," have begun to buy up all the social media they do not already own, because it has become a tool against the ruling class, and so the ruling class is taking control.
But precisely this takeover has created even more resistance to the lies of the ruling class, the Musks, and Zuckerbergs, and Ellisons. And so it may turn out that the social media they seek to control will be their Achilles heel, a Trojan horse they can own but not control.
It may be that social media, a term I once could not understand, has an inherent socializing momentum, a disposition by giving everyone a voice to counteract the manipulations of the masters of the universe. Tik Tok was sold to a consortium of Zionist billionaires because it had been found to have "allowed" voices that promoted the belief that Israel was committing genocide. CNN, founded by the late and progressive Ted Turner, has been taken over by the pro-Israeli Ellisons. It is believe that he who controls the media controls the narrative, and who controls the narrative, controls the people. But Netanyahu's claim that it is social media that has rejected Israeli propaganda, if true, means that the attempt, at Caitlin brilliantly makes clear, to control social media may well backfire and lead to even more rejection of Israeli and elite narrative control. The more they attempt to control us, the more ferociously we fight back. And the more we fight back, the more they spend to control us, a cycle they cannot win because the cat is out of the bag, social media has an inherently democratic bias that "they" can attempt to mute but cannot succeed because we are onto their tricks, and spending more on tricks will only confirm our suspicion they cannot be trusted.
Precisely. Musk has turned Xitter into a pro-Nazi echo chamber and many people deleted their accounts as a result. Zuckerberg has been increasingly pro-fascist and many people are leaving those platforms as well. Bluesky has become a good alternative but we need more social media sites to counter these fascists. I haven't even been back to TikTok since the Ellisons bought it out.
Poor Bibi…it’s getting harder and harder to paint a government run by Jewish supremacist, genocidal maniacs as anything other than Jewish supremacists BEING genocidal maniacs these days. Poor thing. I hear there was a German guy with a tiny mustache around 85-90 years ago who ran into similar problems.
That Austrian guy didn't have the West supporting him for decades before he decided to commit genocide, though. His Nazi soldiers didn't livestream their war crimes for the world nor assume they would be seen as heroes. Nazi Germany also did not receive its life supply of financing from a global hegemon. It facilitated its own rise to power. There are some parallels between Hitler and the Pole but the differences are stark and should be pointed out, because they accurately remind people that Israel is worse.
Also, the Nazis were sufficiently ashamed of what they were doing that they hid their death camps away in forests. The IDF upload their atrocities to Telegram for other Israelis to gloat over and masturbate to.
I dunno…from what I’ve heard multi-national banks and corporations, perhaps even the Vatican, had very little problem with ‘tiny mustache man’s’ extermination project, to the degree that his atrocities were often getting buried on page 6 or 11 or whatever of the NYT- his quick rise from ‘national socialism’ to full frontal fascism was seemingly quite popular among corporate and banking ‘elites’, much as Bibi’s sick ‘Greater Israel
Project/ ongoing genocide(s) is/ are today. The similarities are quite unavoidable and striking…as if they are essentially running the same psychopathic war machine game plan all over again, just using different ‘identities’ as shields. That’s another real psyop- we always hear about the use of ‘human shields’ in warfare and ‘anti-terrorism’ initiatives, but we neglect to address how ‘identity’ has been weaponized both internationally and at home in hiding the nefarious motives behind the world’s most despicable psychopaths behind ‘identity politics’.
Nowhere in mainstream American politics was it okay to say Nazis were the good guys during the 1940's. Nowhere in mainstream American politics is it okay to say Israelis AREN'T the good guys since the 1940's. That's a big difference.
Yeah, poor Bibi. He's discovering that no matter how much financial polish you apply to the monumental, steaming pile of ordure that is Israel, you can't improve the sheen. Gradually the scales are falling from people's eyes but shit, it's taking time.
This man is a piece of work. He WANTS THE WHOLE DAMN MIDDLE EAST. He said it to expand the piece of land he stole and carved out of Palestinian land. He wants to build the biggest military complex after conquering Iran. He said it and this is why he is sitting tight inside Trump’s 🧠 to continue this merciless and destructive war because he is determined to continue with his propaganda, misinformation and disinformation moving the goal post every time. He said seven countries in five years, Iran being the last one. Why don’t they ask him about the NUCLEAR WEAPONS HE HAS? He has NUCLEAR WEAPONS but no one ask him about it. Iran is imbedded in his hippocampus and his insatiable appetite for human blood, skin and organs. When is this man going to say enough is enough, and the word “ ANTISEMITISM” going to be dissolved into a gaslighting tool?
Where is the ICC AND THE UN?
Why is America continuing to fund this war of choice to give Netanyahu taxpayers money?
Read revelation 2:9, and 3:9 this will sum it all up.
The bible reference is unnecessary as Murder, rape, robbery, fraud are all high crimes known to everyone. The US government and all of Israel abandoned religion long ago. It is only used to control the masses. The US and Israel commit Murder, rape, robbery and fraud 24-7 -365. The evidence is mountainous.
"If you saw a guy spending 730 million dollars on media operations to manipulate people into thinking he is not an asshole, what could you reasonably conclude about that guy's personality?” Caitlin Johnstone
You can put bright red lipstick, false eyelashes, and glittery eyeshadow on a filthy, hairy wild pig; dress it up in a flashy sequined gown and red high heels; add a blonde wig and lot of cheap bling, and it's still a filthy, hair wild pig with an voracious appetite for the blood and flesh of Palestinian, Lebanese and Iranian children.
It's the same technique used by multinationals, which spend 10% of their revenues on propaganda. Then, however, there are the "stubborn facts," as Lenin would say.

Mic drop! Thank you 🙏🏾
profound and true words from father sheehan that prove more relevant today than ever

Yes. Absolutely agree.
4 Countries later I support none of them if they make a mess or take away my rights. I tell everyone I am International and a nature baby.
Yep we’re all immigrants on this planet Jenny.
Yes we are. But unfortunately in the WESTERN world we think we have better brains as white people. I have lived through this all my life. I feel that the West has lost all empathy if it had any.
Not sure about that but better weapons most definitely
At 77yrs old I can tell anyone who asks................where is the sympathy and empathy with others?
Nationalism, aka tribalism.
I don't wonder at all. There are now 1000 US billionaires, a major portion of them Zionists. That kind of money doesn't just talk. Or even shout, It screams demands.

You & me both. Completely bogus.
And Arabic speaking people make up the vast majority of modern Semitic language speakers.
Yes, and a religiously diverse group. My friend's dad spoke Arabic, but was Christian.
From Oz, "poor fella my country": You're on fire today, Vin, speaking even more truth than usual. Yay!

It's a lot easier to make someone look like a monster when they do monstrous things.
Still, it's almost unbelievable that 37 percent still view them favourably...
The Evangelicals.............heaven help the US if there are that many. 37% of the US population! Ouch.
I venture that most of them are Boomers, who are becoming more and more irrelevant by the day.
There is definitely an age effect, with younger people being much more sympathetic towards the Palestinians.
Same percentage that still supports Trump.
The Venn Diagram of those two groups is barely not circular!
well said mr. zannoni, it's pretty staggering to think that after all the carnage and crimes against humanity we have witnessed and continue to witness, the number isn't in the single digits close to 0. It's disappointing and discouraging imo
Israel has built a wall around itself.
It's time for the world to reinforce it, and imprison the whole fucking lot.

Hmm burn them alive is a better way, they deserve all they get, I'll not shed 1 tear for any of them.
No, they need to be moved somewhere other than sitting on top of historic Palestine. Israel needs to be shifted to the USA, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, or my personal favourite candidate, Novaya Zemlya.
Nope, they are in Palestine.
