They already showed their hand when it was made illegal to call genocide genocide.

Jo Waller's avatar

Yes, and 'they' are US based interests in oil, arms, AI, pharma, finance, media and tech.

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.

You forgot one culprit in your list of bad people …. Homo Sapiens.

Thoughtful question Cornelia… “everyone? “

If Gandhi was accurate in stating: “Be the change you want to see in the world”, then yes, everyone.

Last time I looked, I was still a Homo Sapiens… unfortunately.

it is very hard to believe that keir starmer, those responsible at the police and the reporting press are not aware of what they are doing.

Feral Finster's avatar

They know perfectly well what they are doing.

To be fair, Starmer is trying to brownnose the Americans, since Israel is an issue near and dear to Master's heart, and Starmer wants to drag the United States into a more aggressive stance against Russia.

Jo Waller's avatar

What absolute tripe. Starmer is big US oil's bitch in everything. The proxy war against Russia was started by the US, continues to be supported by the US and is being given the appearance of being dropped by the US because they want UK citizens to feel they have to up military spending and bravely battle Putin to the last Briton. What utter fools to do exactly what we're told by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth as the US focuses on China via Iran.

Mary Wildfire's avatar

No no, not China! The US can't target China, they're too busy attacking Iran and Iraq and Venezuela and Cuba and maybe Colombia and Mexico and perhaps Canada and Denmark and, oh yes, Minneapolis and LA.

JennyStokes's avatar

Jo is correct. The direct threat to the USA is China.

Michael Dursse's avatar

The direct threat to the US is the US government.

Cornelia HEMMELDER's avatar

Because the US are puppets of Israel

Morton Gordon's avatar

Except that it isn't, militarily. Economically, yes. So what is the US going to do, genocide China too?

Morton Gordon's avatar

I mean, China is the ultimate target of the Epstein Class, except that it spent its military wad already. 80% of Tomahawks, etc. depleted. Laundry fires in the aircraft carriers (the classic way the US did power projection). Ducks that don't float, and F-35 birds that don't fly.

Jo Waller's avatar

Yes, yes, definitely China. That is why they (US based interests in oil etc) are targeting Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, Denmark and any other allies of, major energy exporters to or countries situated on trade routes that are important to the economy of.. China. Enemy number one and what this whole thing is about. They also will attack Americans, no sweat, if it will help them slow China’s rise while they still have a chance to.

Counterproductive strategy tho since the energy shortage in Taiwan (thanks directly to the war in Iran) has driven it closer to China. The repatriation of Taiwan into China is inevitable. Something like 95% of US GDP growth was due to AI investments, which rely on data centers, which rely on semiconductors, which Taiwan manufactures. The hegemonic strategy of the US is not going to work in the long run and the Chinese know it.

Jo Waller's avatar

Yes, there are many counterproductive elements, like Russia getting stronger. The reliance on Taiwan is the reason the US have attempted to set up TSMC in Arizona manufactoring semiconductors on US soil.

The desperate hegemonic strategy of the US may well succeed in bringing the world down into economic and environmental collapse. They have the climate crisis on their side, being in a relatively lucky latitude. The US is not playing fair but they are playing to be last man standing even if there’s nothing left.

Feral Finster's avatar

The entire point of Charles' visit to the US was to plead with the American to fight Russia for them.

The uk political class goes into panic at the thought of the US losing interest in that war.

JennyStokes's avatar

These blood-soaked Royals should NOT be participating in politics that is Law.

They are supposed to be purely Ambassadors.

Cut their bloody heads off.

Nah: Starmer was persecuting "anti-semitism" YEARS before he was even PM candidate, it was also his talking point against Jeremy Corbyn in case you don't remember and how he got him booted (without even proper democracy). Starmer has been 100% Israeli asset since day zero.,

Feral Finster's avatar

Starmer knows what the Americans want.

If you see the relationship between a dog and its Master, you will understand the relationship of the US and the british. The dog may be a dog and it may come when called, but at the same time it is always plotting, conniving, trying to get Master to pay attention to it or fight the postman or something.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

The UK has yet to realize that it is the bitch in the US-UK relationship.

Feral Finster's avatar

The british political class knows perfectly well.

British strategy since 1917 has been to get Americans to do their fighting for them.

At the same time, take away American power, and britain goes from America's Special Little Buddy to a flavour-challenged backwater with especially crappy weather, nominally ruled over by a dangerously inbred class of dunces who won't shut up about long past glories and also Male Buggery.

I guess we'll see what goes down if Trump unilaterally exits NATO. I would be surprised if the recent 90 min call he had with Putin didn't touch on the subject. Our POTUS is a senile, gullible moron who is desperate for an off-ramp. And the Iranian FM did just meet with Moscow. I am convinced the only reason Moscow hasn't attacked arms and munitions factories in NATO countries yet is the US. If Trump leaves NATO, as he has threatened, then the soggy island will have to fight its own war. Thoughts?

Feral Finster's avatar

The US is not desperate for an offramp at all. Russia and China are timid and dithering.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

The US os 100% desperate for an off-ramp in regards to Iran. That was my point. Trump does not give a fuck about the Europeans.

Cornelia HEMMELDER's avatar

Aware or not, it's pur fascism.

Jo Waller's avatar

Israel is a battering ram for US based interests as well as a proxy for the creation of protest laws that protect US based interests.

Crixcyon's avatar

I looked it up in my list of 10 million things you never should do and criticizing Israel wasn't on the list. That is how things change, often for the better...through healthy criticism. Banning criticism is the act of a scared entity. Very afraid that people will come to know the truth.

John Turcot's avatar

Between 20,000 to as many as 200,000 children killed by Israelis in Gaza while the world watched in disbelief. Thousands of bombs dropped on Palestinian children , bombs made in the rich countries that make profits from death, and continue to see the slaughter in silence, are a tribute to the species.

Are we really seeing this happening to all of us, to our spirits, to our species, to our souls?

There are no words that can justify my feelings… there just aren’t.

I think we are in the midst of major world change, and very well could be on the brink of WW3. Violence is breaking out (predictably) everywhere as International Law has completely been thrown to the wayside by to many powerful countries.

Do we have souls? I would like to think we have, and this is just some kind of soul lesson for the world. But maybe we don't. Maybe none of it amounts to a hill of beans.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Idk if we have souls, but we certainly possess feelings and ideas but it seems we all haven't learned to relate to them in an appropriate way that is not self-destructive yet. Life itself is tenacious. Even if we blow ourselves up with nukes, some humans will survive.

jamenta's avatar

I don't know why, the question of having a soul or not is important (for me) to find some kind of rationality in this madness called life. But that may just be me.

In any case, it will all happen soon enough, including our own mortality. This strange reality of beauty and the existence of love & hope, but also the genocide of 10s of thousands of Gazan children who did nothing to deserve their horrible deaths.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Nah you're def not alone in wondering about the existence of souls. For me, if something presents as irrational in one scale of observation (at the individual or national level), I think about what it means at a higher scale (civilization or species). All this chaos we are living through as individuals might be an indispensable ingredient in the evolution of the larger system that we all comprise, but we don't get to see it at that scale anymore than a single white blood cell gets to see the immune system response as it attacks a pathogen.

The images of those poor children in Palestine are a part of me and you now, forever.

Charles Held's avatar

When America's Holocaust Museum was built, the word "intifada" was used in the Arabic translation of the Warsaw Ghetto UPRISING exhibit. BTW that Uprising was planned and led by the ANTI-Zionist Jewish Labor Bund.

Feral Finster's avatar

Of course. And it won't end there, just that antisemitism (real, manufactured or imaginary) is a low-status belief and consequently nobody wants to be seen as being on the side of the antisemites.

It makes a perfect wedge case to end free speech everywhere. Sort of like how Alex Jones was used as the poster child for why we NEED censorship, since Jones is a loon that nobody of influence and authority wants to be seen supporting.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Ironically, wasn't it Alex Jones who cried day and night about pedophiles running the government?

Feral Finster's avatar

Yes. The funny thing is that QAnon was also directionally accurate, just that the details were all wrong and Trump was not the savior that they imagined him as.

Quite the opposite.

Mary Wildfire's avatar

The more they push this transparently false narrative, the more they criminalize opposition to Israel's endless crimes, the more REAL anti-Jewish sentiment they stir up. This is not as yet a serious threat to Jewish people around the world, but if it gets to be--they don't care, this has never been about protecting Jews, it's always been about obedience to Israel and the US.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Thank you. This is what I've been saying for a long time. This new shitshow with Iran is going to shrink or possibly collapse the global economy and who oh who, I wonder, is going to get the blame for it? Of course Trump's name will be on it but so will Israel's, except people are going to say the Jews.

Mary Wildfire's avatar

Maybe. They mostly aren't so far. I hope they say instead "the Zionists"--note that most US Zionists are not Jews but "Christians" who believe in the whole Armageddon/Rapture/Second Coming story--a deeply selfish and unChristian choice that lets them be the good guys while committing crimes, go to Heaven without dying, and brush their hands of the crises facing this Earth because "it's all gonna burn up anyway, God has a better world for us."

Vin LoPresti's avatar

Just think of it this way: They will tell you that Aaron Bushnell was an antisemite because he chose to kill himself in protest of genocide. Couldn't be more effed-up than that.

Ron Stockton's avatar

Keir Starmer, like most western political leaders, and the MSM in the western world, are liars. They know what they are saying is untrue, they say it anyway, and they say it in the hope people will believe them and, they do it for their own gain. Why is this not patently obvious to everyone?

jamenta's avatar

We see the same patent lying here in the states with both political parties: Democrats & Republicans. But Americans only get two choices at the voting booth, and both choices are for two parties that have no moral integrity left, i.e. both supported the Genocide of GAZA, both do their best to make sure Americans do not live with Universal Healthcare (like every other advanced Industrial Nation in the world), both have supported increased military budgets for decades, both have made permanent tax breaks for the super-rich while cutting assistance programs to the most vulnerable Americans.

The list goes on and on. Ordinary Americans simply no longer have a choice who really rules them, since the US electoral system is a rigged con game - rigged by the super wealthy. The lesser of two evils, ends up being evil as well. Democracy has become a pretend democracy. Mainstream News Media has become pretend news. The country is surfeit with lies and deception: from A.I. to being totally lied to regarding US bases being wiped out, and US war casualties abroad.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

This is essentially why I don't believe anything but an implosion will save us. Let the house of cards fall so we can rebuild it, put term limits AND age limits on all the cocksuckers in Congress and the SCOTUS, ban lobbying, arrest AIPAC members, deport dual citizens, put in universal healthcare, abolish all student debt, make higher education free, abolish the CIA and NSA, undo all presidential pardons, criminalize gerrymandering, and liberate the Palestinians.

Ron Stockton's avatar

I'd say undo the Presidency. It is too much like a monarchy. Go to an elected parliamentary system, preferably no rich people (if there are any left) can run for office or vote.

Ron Stockton's avatar

"The lesser of two evils, ends up being evil as well." I have been preaching that here in Canada as well, but to no avail. We have third choice in Canada, the New Democratic Party (NDP) which is ostensibly "social democratic". They have never won federally and provincially they have been difficult to differentiate from the two right-wing, mainstream parties (Liberals and, by many different names, Conservatives). Federally, when the Liberals have been in power with a minority government, the NDP have pushed through some reform (universal, publicly-funded medicare since the 1960s, and since last year, a very limited means-tested pharmacare and dental program for seniors and children) and they've generally "opposed" America's wars (except Afghanistan) - by "opposed" I mean we didn't send troops but our corporations still provide weapons components. As noted, however, when they form government provincially it's difficult to tell them from the other parties. The new NDP leader and executive proclaim themselves democratic socialists, so maybe Canadians have a choice and maybe we don't.

As for the UK, it is really looking as if it will be officially fascist before the USA is. Then, I guess, it will be Australia with Canada and the rest of Europe bringing up the rear.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

To be fair, the US has been fascist to its people of color for a long time. People are worried about fascism now only because it's encroaching on white America.

Ron Stockton's avatar

I thought about that after I asked the question and pushed send. It is patently obvious, so why are so many people staying with those parties and supporting them? Surely they are not all Nazi or Zionist supporters or racists.

Susan T's avatar

It would be Soooo easy to stop the "antisemitism" that has been happening lately. Stop murdering Palestinians and Lebanese people. Stop the invasion of Iran.

Diana van Eyk's avatar

When I first learned that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza and that the whole western world was supporting and defending Israel, my head nearly exploded. This is so wrong. And, frankly, my head continues to explode.

I have to wonder how many supported Nazi Germany in the same way when it was committing genocide, and I know a lot of corporations were enabling and profiting from it.

Stuart Estrine's avatar

The ruling classes of the degenerate West have lost control the narrative. The truth and the “truth” as defined by capitalist media stand diametrically opposed. Current events in occupied Palestine and west Asia verify my point. Starmer and Trump are genocidal maniacs. Netanyahu is a Jewish supremacist who embodies everything wrong with the universe. The Zionist entity is an apocalyptic messianic society gone mad. We are heading towards nuclear Armageddon. Voting is a bandage on a cancer. In the absence of GENERAL STRIKES keep an eye out for nuclear winter.

jamenta's avatar

So is there any upside?

Chuck Nasmith's avatar

I support "Globalize the Intifada", and Iran. Cancel the State of Israel.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

Let the West keep digging its own grave. I do not have any hope that the people will save themselves. They're too busy being anesthetized with alcohol and social media.
