I have contempt for them, but I have even more contempt for all the governments watching what is happening, sometimes lately even on mainstream news, and doing nothing or making stupid promises to recognize the State of Palestine. What State of Palestine? The one that Israel has ethnically cleansed/starved/eliminated one way or another? People of so many countries regularly gather in large numbers to oppose genocide and what happens? They are arrested. Our world is sick.

As an older commenter, aware of the Israeli plans for their stolen state since the days of JFK, I will be content to see marketing exercise such as The Holocaust, AntiSemitism and the unlimited numbers of an enemy called 'Hamas' end up where they all belong. History's book of Israeli lies.

The Judeo-Nazi reign over the stolen Palestine is the greatest crime in my lifetime.

Following close behind is the years of watching the now totally sterile United Nations fail in its role of preserving peace in the world. In the past when an event between two countries caused a problem involving warlike activities and loss of life, the UN Peacekeepers were engaged to solve the problem on the ground while the matter was raised and acted upon by the UN General Assembly.

When this stopped being one of the UN's objectives thanks to the dominance of the USA with its 'Bloody Veto’, applied with a level of arrogance never seen before with any past Empire, we saw wars such as Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, accounting for the deaths of 5.5 million people as a disgraceful record for an arrogant regime, the United Staes of America.

Having been aware of Israeli’s plans for their stolen state, heightened since the days of JFK, then the USS Liberty, then 9/11, all driven by their Eretz Israel master plan,"from the River to the Sea", supported by two of the most criminal players, namely Biden and Trump, I will be content to see cunning marketing exercises such as The Holocaust, AntiSemitism and 'Israel's overblown enemy called Hamas' end up where they all belong. History's book of Israeli lies. No greater inhumane liars have there been in history.

The Judeo-Nazi reign over the stolen country of Palestine is the greatest crime in my lifetime. All under the direction of the USA

When this stopped being one of the UN's objectives thanks to the dominance of the USA with its Security Council 'Bloody Veto’, the UN became a toothless social club, serving no purpose in the way of value to this day. Hence we see the most hated country in living history able to do what it chooses every day, with no effective intervention from the pathetically weak Western countries while the most disgraced and now subservient USA feeds the statistics of wartime deaths through its support of a hated state.

Thanks for this thoughtful reply. I am also an "older commenter". When I was a kid, communism was the big bad wolf. I grew up in a small WASP town where there were only WASPS except for my family and one other family who were Catholic. When I got out of there I discovered all kinds of other people. I listened to the news, went to church, got an education. Got a job. I really believed that the US was saving us from communism. I did go to some anti war demos, but I didn't really get it. Then I went to Paris and met a lot of Vietnamese people my age. They were all studying so they could go back to Vietnam and be part of a communist government. They hated that the Americans were there pretending to save them. I got to understand that colonisation was disgusting and our county, Canada, existed because the people who were here first were murdered and sent away to reservations and residential schools so that Europeans could steal their country. I was born in England and I grew up thinking that England was a great country too. I have slowly learned that all that was really just something that people wanted to believe without examining much about it. I don't think I have been as aware for as long as you have and not about all the same things. I was always more disturbed by colonisation. When I learned about Israel, I opposed it because it was a colonising State. I didn't really understand that Zionism was at the root of the horribleness of Israel, not for a long time. It was enough for me that they went to a place, claimed it was a "land without a people" and took it over. I have been insulted for not being smart enought to understand why Israel had to be. I have been called an anti-semite frequently when I spoke out against it. I don't like NATO or the UN much now, but I can't say I really understood how useless they are until fairly recently. I have known that the US is a warmongering place since Vietnam. Iraq made me feel queasy. All that history erased. I feel queasy about all that is being lost now. I seem to learn best when I learn from my own experience. Like meeting those Vietnamese students. I also lived in a situation where I got to know a lot of indigenous people and got to know them from my own perspective rather than just accepting the thoughts and opinions of others.

I have recently noticed that young people don't seem to know much about how things were before they were born. I don't think most young people realize that we have been moving toward the present situation for a long time. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I think that some of the very rich families who are still around consciously worked toward the present situation. Every day we seem to find out something else about how we have been boondoggled. I think that is continuing and I can only hope that somehow, something will throw it all off course and we can find our way to real humanity. I don't know if we really have ever been in a state of humanity that cares for each other and for the earth. Some days I have a lot of hope. Other days I feel hopeless. I have children and grandchildren. I have to keep hoping.

Sadly, when Trump comes to an end and he will, peace and justice will still take some time because of the thickness of the "top' level of criminally oriented Americans, there in great numbers, corrupted by Israel, and backed up be the military profiteers and bankers. That will take some time. New laws will be needed to end their reign.

When time allows for a quiet reflection of the world today, I think of the 1950's, the "purge" against communism by McCarthy and his ilk and compare that exercise to the grotesque corruption by Jews, fellow travellers and Zionists by the score in all parts of the globe and think that when the American people finally wake to what an Israeli environment means today, the disloyalty to their country of choice and those who never really stray from the evils of Israeli / Zionist thinking and all that means, they may have the courage to try and make America and American people respected once again.. Right now it is a slave state to Israel and their puppets. As for Trump and Biden? How do people like these two deserve to have a life based on their crimes, the equal of anything cooked up by Adolph Hitler.

Still alive, wealthy and influential in the environments they have created, which could still take a decade to cleanse the world of their weaknesses......and corruption.......and subservience to the evils of Zionism.

And for those who value the teachings of their religions, check and see what your religious leaders have said in the pursuit of peace and justice in Palestine. You will be disappointed, I am sorry to say.

If someone isn't running now, we have no one. Sorry my friend we are all to blame.

Slavery is the most profitable economic system ever invented. Slavery stopped due to the "chattel" for the loans being able to run away.

The system tested on the Palestinians has brought slavery into the digital 21st century. While we slept, sports balled, and shopped, we have been prepped for the last stages of the roll out on us.

I appreciate your quest for accuracy. However another Quote comes to mind when I looked at CAMERA a pro Israel group quite like the ADL..

" Truth is the greatest Insult to a Jew"- Aleksandr Solzenitzyn. These from Netanyahu can replace Menachem begins- "America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the worlds biggest welfare state that we will create and control… This is what we do to the countries that we hate. We destroy them slowly.”

—— Benjamin Netanyahu 1990

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.”-

Benjamin Netanyahu–March 2019 as told to the Likud Party’s members of the Knesset.

I am happy for you to have an opinion, my only comment is that you don't see Christian,s Buddhists, Hindu, Muslims, etc in Gaza killing and staving Palestinian people. It is my opinion that when you silent on social matters then you are complicit in supporting the idea. To be labelled antisemitic is ok with me, killing and staving Palestinian people is not ok.

Being labeled antisemitic for opposing the genocide/extermination of the Palestinians is simply absurd. The majority of Palestinians are semitic peoples, whereas the majority of the ruling Israelis are not.

Mary Wildfire's avatar

Barrie. Those are not the only options. One can oppose genocide--REGARDLESS of the identity of the victims or the perpetrators--without latching on to racism. Yes, currently to oppose the Gaza genocide results in being labelled antisemitic, but you don't have to BE antisemitic. You don't have to conclude that the Jews in Israel represent all Jews, and genocide is in their nature. And--it is NOT true that only Jews are perpetrating the Gaza genocide. It couldn't happen without massive support from the US AND some other countries--weapons, UN veto and suppression of dissent--and this is supported by a considerable block of Americans, including some Zionist Jews but ten times as many Zionist "Christians." Gotta use quotation marks because Christian Zionists' ideology is pretty much a direct repudiation of everything Jesus said according to the New Testament.

And there have been other genocides with non-Jewish perpetrators. It's not about Jewishness. I don't believe you can say anything about any group of people, other than a few physical things, with accuracy. Viciousness, xenophobia, violence, kindness, generosity--all are in the repertoire of human nature, and what comes to the forefront of any group depends on culture, not genes. The culture in Israel must be a very ugly thing.

Barrie's avatar

Your response is very well articulated. However the issue is rather simple when you break it down. All the Israeli government members are Jews, All IDF personnel are Jews, all Israeli settlers are Jews, so the common denominator is clear, in Israeli from top to bottom there is no room but for Jews. I watched several TV reports and interviews of Australian Jewish leaders and representatives, not once have I heard an apology for the aid, journalists, doctors, women and children killed in Gaza. Not one drop of remorse, they keep repeating the Oct 22 , which we all no was very wrong. They keep repeating the 20 + hostages as though they are more important than two million Palestinians. Simply, Jews have brought antisemitism on themselves and they like it, why so they can pull the poor little down trodden Jew line again and again. If they want respect, they must earn it, there is nothing respectful coming out of any Jewish group or person representing Jews. The world is long over excusing Jews. Harsh but it is a fact. We all accept Hamas as a terrorist group, but are asked to accept Jews that support Israeli and the Gaza war as being kind loving people, no.

I'm sure it's true that the Palestinians have more semitic blood than the Ashkenazi Jews who dominate Israel, but that's rather irrelevant--"antisemitism" has been understood to mean "hatred of and prejudice against Jews" for at least a century...until a couple of decades ago when the Zionists started using it to mean 'criticism of Israel" but they do NOT want it to simply change meanings, they need to conflate and confuse so that criticism of Israel implies hatred of Jews.

Probably coming. The Israeli government has sanctioned Haaretz. In November 2024, it cut all ties and pulled advertising. The publisher, Amos Schocken stated, “the Netanyahu government doesn’t care about imposing a cruel apartheid regime on the Palestinian populatio. It dismisses the cost of both sides for defending the settlements while fighting the Palestinian freedom fighters, that Israel calls terrorists.”

Over the years there have been news stories of Orthodox Jews demonstrating against the State of Israel.

Yes, Caitlin, "They’re really the worst people in the world." And just as in every system, including the human one, there is one uneven part in a hundred thousand, so in every system there is one part in a thousand that represents "evil." It is the cancer of humanity, that thing that forms slowly over time and then, through hysteresis, explodes in all its severity. It may be the wrong solution to a real, existing problem (the gullibility, widespread selfishness, indifference, fear, etc. of other parts of the system), or it may be the expression of mere will to power, but in any case, it must be isolated, fought, eliminated. One in a thousand of the Earth's population cannot and must not continue to hold the entire world in check. One can intervene peacefully by demonstrating the truth or, if necessary, by force.

Just a personal note, having my two favourites in one article, Caitlin and Glenn, is the one plus to this harrowing report.

And I’m back from my too long trip, in the last day of which I stumbled into a literal trip and fall. Considerable pain is limiting my comments. But I can still do this:

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Most, if not all, Israel and US deep state (fossil fuels, animal ag, pharma, AI, tech, media, banking and arms) apologia at this point is just people pretending to believe things they don’t really believe. Palestinians aren’t really being starved. Gaza looks like a gravel parking lot because Hamas put explosives in all the buildings. The IDF has a low civilian-to-combatant kill ratio. A man can become a woman just by saying so. There was a deadly virus on the loose justifying house arrests and the elderly dying along. There is no climate crisis and if there is it's not caused by fossil fuels nor animal ag. Nobody actually believes these things. They’re just pretending to believe them in order to justify genocidal and care home atrocities, market drugs, ensure the profits of destructive industries, maintain white western patriarchal hegemony, create divisions and get people fighting themselves instead of the deep state and help ensure that all this continues.

After 2 years of the latest iteration of this decades-old zionist nightmare, there are still some who refuse to look/see/hear or open their minds to the undeniable reality of the Palestinian holocaust. While their numbers appear to be declining, these pathetic holocaust deniers cling to their ancient, stupid prejudices; many of which are the products of warped religious beliefs.

There is still so much brain washing and mind control at work here while the rest of us (who can think for ourselves and see clearly) are left with the heavy load of pushing for the truth to emerge and taking all necessary steps to make this obscene nightmare stop. I have such deniers in my family and I can barely tolerate them anymore. My allegiance is with truth and justice and nowhere does zionism have any credibile role to play. Isra-hell will be made to account for their disgusting crimes - one way or another.
