I was at a silent vigil of the people who oppose genocide. The people who think that Israel has a right to commit genocide were right there too, but they were not silent. In our silence we could hear what the genocide supporters were actually saying. They were mostly sneering, suggesting that the women there were not feminists. They had signs that said marriage between different groups; zero tolerance. It was like a scene from The Handmaiden's Tale or any of those other books written about the dystopian future. I felt nauseous. When I don't feel nauseous, I feel angry.
I've been thinking about why Palestine will never be allowed a Truth and Reconciliation moment, unlike South Africa, however much global public opinion is against the white settler colonists there. Could be the world is a very different place from the 1980s.
Many South African resources are still owned by whites and foreigners so until the US has access to the gas near the coast of Gaza, they're not going to stop with the genocide. Even then as some kind of US protectorate I don't see a Palestinian Republic coming.
The rise of Traore in Burkina Faso shows that neo-colonialism isn't going to work anymore. The US interests in fossil fuels etc needs open, blatant colonisation by white people in important areas. They'll never be able to turn Palestinians against Iran for example, the way they're doing with Taiwanese against mainland China.
That's bleak. I want to remove the word 'never' - the US empire is collapsing. Perhaps not in my lifetime, and not quickly enough to save the inhabitants of Gaza. But there will be a free Palestine one day, because humanity depends on it.
How old are you? The US empire hasn't got much over a decade, is my guess. That might NOT be quickly enough to save Palestine but it should be i n your lifetime unless you're older than me.
Know that feeling intimately, sister. Happens daily...whether I want to think about it or not. We are UNDERSEIGE from dark forces... from the very depths of hell (although you see fascists in church cosplaying piety.)
On 7 October 2023, the Palestinian People, who languished under Ottoman rule, who languished under British rule, and who have survived repeated terrorism, rape, torture, and murder under Israeli rule, declared they would take this no more. We are so proud of them. Their struggle is unfair. Their struggle is against the choke-hold and death-grip of western colonial fascism, and the perversion of Talmudic Judaism and delusional superiority complexes. Their struggle is OUR struggle.
I don't think I've read anthing about the Ottomam rule being so cruel, nor about British rule - neither kicked Palestinians out of their homes, or tore up the olive trees or pomegranites that were their living. They certainly didn't bomb them almost to oblivion.
true davina, but unfortunately the end of british rule coincided with the rise of the genocidal settler colony, and they basically handed land that was no longer theirs to said group, and we know how things went from there. So I wouldn't say they are without blame in this either, but yes perhaps Palestine under their rule wasn't as overtly cruel as it has been since 1948.
I'm not leaving them without blame they should never have handed Palestine to the zionists, or allowed the US to have a say. The Palestinian people should have had their country back, not taken from them again by a cruel and violent cult of satan worshipers and rapists just so America could have-what they thought was-a foothold in West Asia, they ruin every place they take the slightest interest in, no asking just taking. Now they have been taken over by the zionists billionaires by way of the back door. Wonder how they feel about being sodomised by the little zionist state they thought they controlled.
I agree they shouldn't have handed a land that wasn't their's to the genocidal occupiers or allowed others to decide what happened to the people of Palestine. Yes, I agree that they should have their country back and sovereignty as a nation and be allowed to live and prosper in their homeland again, and I hope they get to soon.
Hi Gypsy33, I knew if anyone would know about that time, you would. Which proves that they did not force Palestinians to change to Islam when there are Christian there still, but who are against what zionist Jews have done.
The Nazis did not commit a Genocide against the Jews. There were no Gas Chambers and Six Million Jews did not die during WWII. Stop believing Jewish lies.
And on top of that dumpy now envisions Gaza casinos because billionaires can never ever have enough money. Wish they would all experience the Meidas Touch.
The real problem is in the capitalistic (machinations) system that allows such incredible and TOTALLY undeserved financial disparity. None of these billionaires did anything useful for humanity. On the contrary. Essentially buying cheap and selling expensive. Cure for cancer? Cold fusion? Healthy Environment? Food security? World Peace? Space (please don't even mention that clown Elon Musk.)? ... Nothing! Just buying cheap properties and selling them for double or triple the price. Bill Gates who invented nothing (transistor, computer, microchip, software, etc.) was just the first to package the hardware + software product into one product for individual use. Not to mention others. Even worse. In a capitalistic system once you have some amount of money you can only have more money unless being a complete idiot. And money also buys power and other people. No wonder human race is dying.
Agree 100%. How to change it when they have all the power? The fairness doctrine in media seems like a quaint relic, but it's needed more than ever. Faux News has done incalculable damage to its viewers understanding of what's really going on.
The Zionists had their ideology by the late 1800s, if one dates it to Theodor Herzl, the mid-1800s if one dates it to Moses Hess. It wasn't rebranded Nazism, after the fact, it drew first from the same well.
Subject: It’s Shira. This year’s Sukkot feels different in Israel.
I had to reply with this: And Sukkot should feel different!
Israeli's murderous Genocidal massacre of women and children in Gaza having no defence against Israel's US jet fighters, US bombers, bombs, bullets, US Apache Attack helicopters, tanks, artillery and BULLdozers is forcing a permanent Sukkot in Gaza.
"If sympathy about October 7 is being weaponized for genocide propaganda, then you have an ethical obligation to withdraw your sympathy."
True. Don't give in to those who manipulate your feelings for their personal gain. Tell them to lump it! (After two years of genocide, I have negative sympathy points for the terrorists from Tel Aviv.)
God was so annoyed with the Chosen People they disappeared from among the Nations some 720 years before Christ Jesus walked through Roman Occupied Palestine.
Since 1948, the Middle East and the World is dealing with the 2nd Occupation of Palestine
The pre-1920 figures look both high and inappropriately precise. I believe the figure before 1900 is usually given at around 3-4%. The "0.1" percent tacked on to the (high) 8% is just ludicrous, as noone has figures that precise from that era. It appears intended to give an impression of constant natural increase.
The Ottoman Census of 1878 gave a figure of 3.2% for the Jews, but their census didn't include about 100K Bedouin living in the Negev.
eta: There are a number of sites dedicated to repairing the knowledge gaps resulting from the intensive efforts of Zionists to flood the conversation.
This site is pretty good. It goes to the effort to find original sources that aren't always bothered with, and it discusses historical events and the difficulties of getting data on the Palestinians without beating around the bush as some do (such as palquest).
Also check it out, this reference is cited by multiple sites. Be careful with it. The author's approach seems contaminated by the desire to give equal time to Jewish claims that the land was a desert. But the discussion of systematic undercounting and other vagaries of the bureaucratic process are interesting because they give a sense of the behemoth Ottoman Empire and of the economic fabric and cultural practices (such as protecting by sequestration the women and children) of the Eastern Mediterranean.
The tables in Ch 1 have the Jewish population of 1914-1915 at 5.3%. The numbers for all religions are fewer than shown by other sources.
~
Where'd that 8% come from?
Usually in cases like these there is some number to point to. It's how it's used in conjunction with the other numbers that produces the slanted or careless results.
One could imagine a Jewish author saying, "we know (believe) there were more Jews living there in 1914" and "they must have undercounted the Jews because they hate us" (narcissism leads to poor cognition, as the obsession with the self causes a person to overlook circumstances that had everything to do with neutral factors) and "I will replace the Jewish column with figures kept by the Jewish Agency".
That would be extraordinarily bad data handling, but nevertheless it happens. It's one of multiple ways that a person, working in a biased frame of mind, can introduce huge errors and fundamental misrepresentations, while using sources that can be pointed to as "really existing".
An author might mention, in discussing such a shuffled together data set, "we have better figures for the Jews than the Arabs", which I have seen from time to time. If one ever sees something like that, know that the author might well be ignoring rules about mixing data from different sources or that has different levels of fidelity, or had different rules or constraints for its collection.
Look — you good people and followers of Caitlin’s prolific writings, for 46+ years the Iranian leadership (whatever your opinion of them is) have been saying repeatedly and ad nauseam, that this “Zionist entity” (aka Israhell) is a cancer in the region, a danger to the world’s peace, and needs to be removed (disbanded). Most observers cringed! Now, we hear that often. Most notably from people like Scott Ritter, Max Blumenthal, and many others!
I've seen a video this morning about an Israeli woman mourning her daughter who were killed on that festival. She likes the sound of falling bombs on Palestinians -she said.
What a sick and rotten people make up that society...
And she doesn't think to place any blame on her own government, who placed her daughter at that staged festival then stood all guards down, and waited...then came in when the inevitable happened and probably shot her themselves
Someday the truth will be unavoidable for her and the fact that "Israeli" forces probably killed her daughter directly, and definitely set her up knowing the rave would be overrun and that they would send Apaches, will hit her full in the face. Surely she will go mad, although she probably won't stop blaming others. She took her future descendants into a battlefield to use them as human shields, tent pegs for the illegal occupation. It's a pity.
The brief mention of Venezuela today did not describe what it really will become, in a short time.
Because all the occasional action down in that part of the world is so badly represented in the media, one can excuse the American people, reading American produced headlines, from believing everything that is printed about drug running out of Venezuela.
A SUMMARY. Here we go.......
** America's oil reserves amount to 15 years only, realising just 2% of world reserves.
** Venezuela's oil reserves are 885 years, 18% of all oil reserves.
Some difference, eh? 870 years?
I would have to say that that is worth bombing one or two boats (or a hundred +) in and around Venezuela, calling them drug runners (with US media assistance, naturally), bribing (or assassinating) but replacing a government leader into being an American stooge and anything else that is needed, based on the USA's need for oil, soon, very soon, all of which is part of the way America does things and has done so for decades with their 750 military bases around the globe.
Masters of the government coupe with a 1 Trillion dollar Department of War budget.
So intelligent readers of Caitlin's writing, search no more for the USA's motivations and attacks on Venezuela. It's as plain as the oil in your motor car.
PS. Real "motor car" that is. Not a foolish Musk-type EV sitting unsold all around the globe.
But that's not all of it. Venezuela is one of several socialist countries in Latin America, all of which have been attacked by the US, because most people do better under a socialist government, if it's left alone. The whole region would turn bright pink if Washington didn't intervene to damage their economies and if necessary, arrange for coups or invasions or lawfare to replace socialist leaders, those who insist on sovereignty and the use of the country's resources to benefit its inhabitants, with those who will play ball with Washington, allowing the country's natural resources to benefit a small local elite and US corporations. Maybe it's not so much US need for the oil as Exxon's need to exploit it and take most of the profits. So which is it? All of these, of course. And more.
A need to expand? Lebanon would be a pushover, about half of Saudi Arabia, Syria, lots of space with clever action already on the way; a slice of Egypt, Palestine already re-organised and soon filled with synagogues. Kuwait is yet another piece of land, Jordan already right in the middle.
The next thing to a USA settlement in the Middle East, BUT Jewish people only as promised in the 'Eretz Israel' plan, "From the River to the Sea”…..the Euphrates River in Turkey to the Sea in Egypt, and through Syria and Iraq.
All very unimportant countries. Nothing ever happens in those countries, Except USA military actions and deaths....thousands of deaths. They’ll eventually agree.. ….with a bit of USA support (750 military bases armed and ready).
Now, the USA. As its reward for services rendered in the destruction of a nation called Palestine, the trigger point, as well as its mainland USA protection for the ADL and so many others, (politicians as well), under the AntiSemitic theme song with over-the-top support for the largest group of blatantly disloyal citizens in the USA, living everywhere, working and owning banks, investment houses, the film industry and massive shareholders in the good old media (all well planned). The USA will get to have the Gaza oil and gas (after Israel has taken its share) as part of the rewards for the willing acceptance of Israel in filling the role of the Oil and Gas Manager for the USA in the Middle East.
Can't trust all those wealthy oil-rich Arab countries. Need someone we can trust.
Israel.
Given time, we will squeeze them out anyway.
All it took was a Western supported genocide. Almost there. They seem to have fallen for our new Peace Plan. Little do they know what's around the corner.
"Progressive darling Zohran Mamdani has come out and described Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and Cuba President Miguel Diaz-Canel as “dictators”, just as the Trump administration ends diplomacy with Venezuela in yet another step toward possible war. So that’s some nice timing."
If the establishment is good at nothing else, it is very good at determining whom to co-opt, who can be bought off, whom to neutralize, whom to ignore.
Josephus Flavius commenting on the infighting within Jerusalem wrote that the Jews “entirely lost mercy among them,” and “trampled upon all the laws of men, and laughed at the laws of God” (The Wars of the Jews, Book IV, Chapter 6).
Every morning I wake up with a nauseating thud in my stomach remembering that Israelis exist. I involuntarily winced at the photos of them "mourning" yesterday in MSM - the disgusting self-obsession, the victimhood, the self-pity while just down the road, they're wiping out an entire population, half (or more) of whom are children. Save for a few exceptions (a hundred or so?), I despise those people for all the suffering they've inflicted and cheered on these last two years. They've taught me what hate is and every day I hope for revenge.
I was at a silent vigil of the people who oppose genocide. The people who think that Israel has a right to commit genocide were right there too, but they were not silent.

I give the "empire of lies" 3-5 more years maximum.
I'm planning to be around for another twenty at least. I'll wait :)
It seems unlikely due to the climate crisis, but that would be even bleaker!
Every Empire has ended with an over extended military & a mountain of debt..

There will never be peace in the middle east as long as israhell exists.

It's a habit we must unlearn.
YES! Words matter, now more than ever!

that is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!
On 7 October 2023, the Palestinian People, who languished under Ottoman rule, who languished under British rule, and who have survived repeated terrorism, rape, torture, and murder under Israeli rule, declared they would take this no more.

Hi Davina
Your assertion about the Ottomans is right on.
They were relatively benign occupiers, but the Christian communities in West Asia objected to them beginning to draft them into the Ottoman military.
This began a large migration of Christian Arabs to Amerikkka and other parts of the world; my father and uncles were among them.
Hi Gypsy33, I knew if anyone would know about that time, you would. Which proves that they did not force Palestinians to change to Islam when there are Christian there still, but who are against what zionist Jews have done.
Exactly, Sistah 👍
Once upon a time, a young US Senator named Joe Biden famously said:
"If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one".
One that always plays the victim while attacking everyone else.
One that has used the term "anti-semite" so often that it's lost all meaning.
One that has taken the ideology of Nazism and rebranded (and sanitized it) as Zionism.
One that never admits its wrongdoing.
One that never admits to possessing nuclear weapons.
One that murders whomever it wants, even on foreign soil.
One that bankrolls the majority of the US Congress.
One that commits genocide in the light of day without any fear of reprisal.
Nazis were in their own land and Nazis didn't cry victim while perpetrating a genocide. Pigraelis are worse.
absolutely. German nazis were angels compared to judeo-nazis.
Right on Nick.
I have never read nor heard of German soldiers purposely targeting CHILDRENS’ GENITALS. The Nazis look like altar boys.
It would give me great pleasure to castrate each and every Joo who performed this unspeakable fucking action.
The Nazis did not commit a Genocide against the Jews. There were no Gas Chambers and Six Million Jews did not die during WWII. Stop believing Jewish lies.
And on top of that dumpy now envisions Gaza casinos because billionaires can never ever have enough money. Wish they would all experience the Meidas Touch.

What a horrible anniversary. So many of us are outraged, but Israel hasn't been stopped.
How do we throw a wrench into the gears that keep grinding up Palestine?

Since 1891 at a conservative date, but yes. I would only change that, out of everything you said.
According to the Jewish Virtual Library, these are the demographic figures for Palestine over the last 140 years.
1882 – 8% Jews

As its reward for services rendered in the destruction of a nation called Palestine, the trigger point, as well as its mainland USA protection for the ADL and so many others, (politicians as well), under the AntiSemitic theme song with over-the-top support for the largest group of blatantly disloyal citizens in the USA, living everywhere, working and owning banks, investment houses, the film industry and massive shareholders in the good old media (all well planned). The USA will get to have the Gaza oil and gas (after Israel has taken its share) as part of the rewards for the willing acceptance of Israel in filling the role of the Oil and Gas Manager for the USA in the Middle East.
Can't trust all those wealthy oil-rich Arab countries. Need someone we can trust.
Israel.
Given time, we will squeeze them out anyway.
All it took was a Western supported genocide. Almost there. They seem to have fallen for our new Peace Plan. Little do they know what's around the corner.
Right, Donald?
"Progressive darling Zohran Mamdani has come out and described Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and Cuba President Miguel Diaz-Canel as “dictators”, just as the Trump administration ends diplomacy with Venezuela in yet another step toward possible war. So that’s some nice timing."
If the establishment is good at nothing else, it is very good at determining whom to co-opt, who can be bought off, whom to neutralize, whom to ignore.
Mamdani soon will be housebroken.
<<yaawwn>> Another hireling performance artist poses as progressive until the first moment it matters.
Josephus Flavius commenting on the infighting within Jerusalem wrote that the Jews “entirely lost mercy among them,” and “trampled upon all the laws of men, and laughed at the laws of God” (The Wars of the Jews, Book IV, Chapter 6).
Eerily a propos?
Every morning I wake up with a nauseating thud in my stomach remembering that Israelis exist. I involuntarily winced at the photos of them "mourning" yesterday in MSM - the disgusting self-obsession, the victimhood, the self-pity while just down the road, they're wiping out an entire population, half (or more) of whom are children. Save for a few exceptions (a hundred or so?), I despise those people for all the suffering they've inflicted and cheered on these last two years. They've taught me what hate is and every day I hope for revenge.
Best clue you are dealing with sociopaths is the pity play
We're still going and we're not stopping until this massacre ends with those who facilitated this are rotting in a cell or burning in Hell.
