We reached the point of writing this after 23 months of a live genocide for one reason:
because the perpetrators are Jews.
If it were any other group, ethnicity, or religion, no one would ever think of justifying genocide. Is it surreal? The most surreal part is that people try to correct me by saying “Zionists” instead… what a fucked-up world. If you are one of them, challenge your wrong perspective or fuck off
This racist, supremacist narrative about the Jews since World War II must be destroyed. It was all designed so that Jews in Israel could do whatever they wanted in the world, especially Palestine. And they managed to — Israel was seen as the “only democracy in the Middle East” just 23 months ago. Even with 80 years of atrocities against my people
This must end once and for all.
No one is “chosen”! Anyone who uses this term should be jailed.
100% agree. Sometimes the truth is ugly, and uncomfortable to speak and to hear. Those are the times when it's even more important to say it and hear it.
Opposing a genocide requires no justification. And for the evidence and background, everyone, know that the first major genocide scholar who publicly recognized in mid-October 2023 it as such was Raz Segal, an Israeli Jewish scholar who directly understood in Hebrew the genocidal references of Netanyahu (“Sons of Amalek”, “sons of Darkness”, etc.) and of Gallant (“human animals”, inter alia). Segal even sacrificed a great job opportunity in the US for the sake of preventing this genocidal process. In the UN, Craig Mokhiber rapidly mentioned the risk of genocide in October, too, and left his position there to be able to speak out about it without all the red tape of his organization.
Not long after, major Israeli scholars like Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg as well as Aryeh Neier, Lee Mordechaï and Daniel Blatman, became very vocal and explicit about the unfolding genocide in Gaza. There is thus nothing antisemitic about calling out this genocide committed by SOME Jews. Certainly not all of them.
Now, dozens of specialized organizations have documented and denounced the Israeli State’s genocide in Gaza. Lately, it was by the International Association of Genocide Scholars. The most respected academic institution specialized in the study and analysis of genocides worldwide.
It is also correctly identified as genocide by people who are not Jewish, even by Muslim people!
I do know what you were trying to say with the references to Jewish scholars of genocide, but I've been hearing from Palestinians and Muslims and non-jewish people of color all over the world, calling this a genocide for 23 months, and no one taking them seriously. In fact, Palestinians have been suffering a slow creeping genocide for 80+ years. I'm glad the attention is finally on Palestine after all these years, but never did i ever conceive that it would take this level of brutality done against these people, among the best people on Earth, for Westerners to finally care. And our leaders still don't care. It's extremely depressing but this online community and the brave Resistance give me hope.
Why did Hamas do an evil thing on Oct 8? Could it be because Zionists have been murdering Palestinians for a hundred years? When there is no justice; no Rule of Law, only retribution, what would you do? We should remember Netanyahu laughing about “mowing the lawn”. We should have seen this coming years ago.
The Oct 7 false flag " attack" took place on land legally recognized as being in Palestine by the U.N. against an illegally occupying people. Satanyahoo financed them and is currently being prosecuted for it.
I'm buoyed to see Gaza becoming more visible in my small region -- more demonstrations, a grocery store with pro Gaza, anti-genocide letters outside for anyone to sign and send, posters. I hope this is happening everywhere.
The more emboldened we all are the higher our likelihood of stopping this. I'm listening to this video, and it gives me hope. It's about Russia and China aligning with Yemen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3LO-UWQBdw
When Gaza/Palestine is rebuilt with reparations from Israel and supporters of this Holocaust/Genocide, the New U.N. Headquaters should also be built there. One State: Palestine. Off to listen to "Imagine".
This is AI generated and I wonder why there is not an original video or podcast. Prof Wolff has been very vocal about the genocide in his podcasts. Just wondering why you picked this particular one to share.
When they say "October 7th", you say 9/22 ("nine two two").
Zios want to drop it all in Hamas' lap.
The latest chapter in the theft of Palestine began 15 days earlier, on September 22, 2023.
Trump: "I have one thing to say: remember October 7, remember October 7."
People have already forgotten 9/22 ("Nine Two Two").
...See?
Oct 7th was a day of treachery and betrayal by Netanyahu when he killed as many Israelis as he could (Hannibal doctrine).
What happened fifteen days before Oct 7th?
Fifteen days before, on 9/22, Netanyahu gave a speech before the world in which he wiped Palestine from the map.
"Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated", a quote scifi fans around the world are familiar with.
Together with wiping Palestine from the map, in his 9/22 speech he urged assimilation (as servants and the loss of their core identity).
Wearing his trademark smirk Netanyahu urged Palestinians to
"embrace Israel".
<BLOCKQUOTE>"In various speeches [before Oct 7th], Smotrich presented Palestinians with three options: death; accepting a status below Jews without collective political rights (in biblical terms, the status of servants and slaves); or migration, whether forced or voluntary, facilitated by Israel through compensation and finding countries to receive Palestinians."</BLOCKQUOTE>
"Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated."
Immediately after 9/22 Palestinians were shown definitively what Netanyahu's "beneficent" assimilation would involve.
Nine days after wiping Palestine from the map, Oct 1st, Zionist settlers began to invade and defile the core of Palestinians' identity -
the al Aqsa mosque. The settlers did this day after day after day until on Oct 7th when
the Palestinians answered with resistance.
On Oct 3rd/4th, <B>in the midst of Netanyahu's provocation</B>, the decision to <B>relocate</B> the infamous Oct 7th Rave Party was made, to a location *just outside* (!) the Gaza walls,
AND (!) on the path to the IDF Re'im military base. The IDF knew the Re'im military base was Hamas' prime target.
The Rave Party was relocated against the decision of the Gaza sector officers who had not permitted the party at that location because of security concerns.
In an unusual move (!), IDF divisional headquarters inserted themselves into the decision over the party location and ordered that it should be held.
The IDF had captured Hamas' detailed battle plan so they knew Re'im was the prime target and the plan told the IDF that Hamas would conduct their jailbreak on the Sabbath or a Jewish holiday as so many IDF soldiers were on leave. Israeli media estimates that 50% (!) of the IDF was permitted to take leave on Oct 7th because it was BOTH the Sabbath and a Jewish holiday.
ALSO, this relocation of the Rave party was done in the midst (!) of a major, major, major, intentional provocation, the wiping of Palestine off the map and the repeated defilement and invasion of the al Aqsa mosque.
How much of that does Trump remember?
Does he remember the arrival of the IDF Apache helicopters which blasted away at the Rave partygoers?
Hamas wanted Israeli hostages.
Netanyahu wanted as many Israeli casualties as he could create.
Netanyahu wants you to believe that history began on October 7th.
The theft of Palestine began decades ago.
And the latest chapter should be set at 9/22 not Oct 7th.
This is a brilliant article as always, and I'd just like to point out one thing. This is a very, very common tactic used by our ruling class to sow doubt in the minds of the righteous. This is just the most egregious example. But they and their sycophants have made a cottage industry of putting us on the back foot for believing things that are true and wanting things that are just, and in every instance, the correct response is to push back on the challenge.
Make them argue why censorship is good, or supporting a war is good, or genocide is good, or bombing is good, or Democrats are great, or why gerrymandering is based. They're the ones defending this fucked up, dysfunctional bullshit society, not us.
“You don’t have to defend your prioritizing stopping an active genocide above other issues.”
What I hear in the U.S. in response to this is, “but Trump.” That is the excuse by most Democrats for supporting genocide supporting Democrats. People have said to me that they do care about the genocide, but they care about other things, too — as if I don’t. Then they go ahead and campaign and vote for the genocide Democrats. It doesn’t seem to occur to them to make genocide a criterion in determining whom to vote for and whom not to vote for. To me, that means they don’t really care. Too many people fall into that category. People are worried about fascism here — rightly so. But genocide is the ultimate expression of fascism. It’s as if it’s okay for the Palestinians to be the victims of fascism if we don’t have it here. It’s okay to sacrifice the Palestinians to preserve our way of life. As if you can separate out the genocide from all the other bad things that are happening. But they’re all connected.
I KNOW! This drives me crazy! I swear, I have lost most of my friends over this issue. I keep saying, "It's a genocide, you don't get to sit this one out!"
The real reason for not opposing this genocide is because it's not happening to you. And it is unjustifiable, unconscionable, indefensible and reprehensible.
Genocide is one of the great evils out there. It’s not human — yet we partake in genocide all time. It’s as if a great evil has overtaken humanity and when we can see that evil and address it, we can stop other evils like genocide: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/my-upcoming-series-on-humanity
Being IsraHelli lends their opinions LESS credence.
I don’t give one single fuck about the opinion of any IsraHelli because they’re ALWAYS going to compare any genocide with their own claimed one. Jews believe they have a patent on it.
You clearly haven't heard what Jewish Voice for Peace, and other Jewish scholars criticising the genocide have been writing or saying. Or perhaps you want to dump all Jews in one bucket - mmmmm, sounds like a group we know well.
I support the idea of all in one bucket, Jews in the main don;t have a problem of what the Israeli government is doing, have done so for many decades. they brought the antisemitism on themselves. You cant support Jews when see what settlements they are building on Arab land. To kill aide workers, people trying to get food, these are grubby horrible people. They are more worried about twenty hostages over two million Palatine people.
Well, I sort of agree with what you said - I get your point. The Civil Rights movement was given more attention and dare I say the perception of legitimacy when whites sided with blacks on the issue. It shows that it isn't an "us against them" but a "right against wrong" mentality.
There’s a campaign to have the Delaware Attorney General, Kathy Jennings, dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which is incorporated in Delaware. The group DELPHR has launched an effort to put pressure on the Deleware Attorney general, with a letter-writing effort. You can do your part and sign on here:
national letter-writing tool which was created by the Center for Constitutional Rights.
Agreed! And this is why the worldwide resistance to this disgusting, evil genocide will succeed and the perpetrators will eventually collapse into the cesspool that they have created.
The desperate psychopath Nuttenyahoo, used to laugh out loud as he uttered the term "mowing the lawn". He's not laughing so much these days. Time is running out for his fake, rogue state!
On 25 August 2025, Israel struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis twice, killing 22 civilians — including journalists, doctors, rescue workers, and a 14-year-old child. Today, the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights filed a complaint to the International Criminal Court, exposing the full chain of command behind the massacre. Our investigation proves that the Golani Brigade engineered and coordinated the attack under continuous drone surveillance, the 188th Armored Brigade executed it with guided missiles, and senior commanders up to Prime Minister Netanyahu authorized and enabled it. This was not crossfire, but deliberate killing with genocidal intent. Justice demands accountability.
Activists from 44 countries plan to launch the largest civilian flotilla in history at the end of August in an effort to break Israel’s siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the starving population of the enclave.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, along with three allied initiatives, will send dozens of boats from Spanish ports on 31 August and Tunisian ports on 4 September, aiming to establish a humanitarian corridor and confront what organizers call Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Hi Alan
When someone says Oct. 7th!—-I reply, Oct. 6th. Oct. 5th. Don’t make me go all the way back to nineteen fucking forty eight.
Good one
