It’s terribly sad to me that anyone calling for a cease-fire is accused of supporting terrorism.

It's par for the Pro-Israel Propaganda Course to go full Orwell.

Chomsky explains that this morally bankrupt mendacious and murderous modus operandi ever since 1948 has not changed.

15 Aug 1871. Alleged letter of Satanist/Mason Albert Pike to illuminati Giuseppe Mazzini makes an interesting point, in spite of being forged by Carr in 1958:

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of the Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other."

Is this a directed event to escalate it into WW3, by a pre-emptive strike on Iran so that the Islamic countries would erase Israel from earth?

There’s a Freemason motto: "Ordo ab chao" (Order out of chaos).

Never let a good crisis go to waste: cause chaos to create a New World Order.

All we are saying is give peace a chance!

The USA has become ATM of foreign wars like Ukraine and Gaza: why?

America has become a Military Industrial country. It makes a huge amount of weapons some manufacturers in a lot of states. Imagine closing those businesses down, people work there. This means the US has to keep making wars and providing weapons.

If you look closely they are doing the same in Europe. Expanding weapons production in Germany, Denmark, Norway (for example Kongsberg Defense and Nammo), in Sweden, UK. And the Germans biggest weapons maker (Rheinmetall AG specifically ) are locating factories in Hungary in an attempt to swing Hungary into the warmongering camp:

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/rheinmetall-launches-production-lynx-fighting-vehicle-hungary-2023-01-12/

They are using the same method they did in the US. The more they spread this, the more the story will become war for its own sake as an economic driver, while actually mainly enriching a tiny handful of ultra rich oligarchs and throwing pennies to the working class who could have been employed to do things that actually build better societies..

The problem of course is that war ends up impoverishing everyone because it has huge economic costs to societies as a whole:

https://esgonasunday.substack.com/p/week-44-cultivating-profit-and-peace

“… The 2021 Global Peace Index estimates that the economic impact of violence in 2020 amounted to a massive $14.96 trillion which is equivalent to 11.6% of total world GDP or equivalent to the size of Switzerland, Denmark, and Ireland’s economies put together……….What are the implications for investors? Peace is far, far more profitable….”

"That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country."

The only thing that explains Israel's behavior in regard to what's going on in Gaza now, but has always gone on, is that Israel, as Gallant said, perceives them as animals, in other words not human beings, whether they are children or not.

"Former Israeli army Chief-of-Staff, Gen. Rafael Eitan, in 1983, speaking at an Israeli parliament’s committee.' "Arabs are like “drugged cockroaches in a bottle.”

Nikki Haley who is of Indian decent became a Christian, and no doubt to futher her career. Recently on FOX she told Netanyahu, to finish them, finish them, finish them. A Christian in name only and no doubt became one to push her own political career and enrich herself.

I’m finding it very hard to go on in this horrible world; tell me I’m going to die tomorrow, and I’ll reply I hope so.

What makes it even worse is that I live in the godforsaken nation whose “government” makes it all possible. And all I can do is continually complain to congresspeople who could give a shit less because they don’t wish to lose campaign contributions from AIPAC.

Where I would prefer to be right now is Gaza. To help. Doing ANYTHING; digging in rubble for bodies, trying to comfort in some small way those who have lost family members, even helping out at overworked hospitals.

Instead of my comfortable home.

We should ALL feel that way. To give up our safe, secure lives and see what hell on earth is like.

Because we deserve it.

Don’t grieve too much—the revolution has started! Oct 7th ignited the fire and people are taking action to the light of that fire. Reading Common Dreams there are so many stories of resistance—one of the best in Seattle where protesters stopped weapons from being loaded on a ship destined for Israel and after the longshoreman’s union refused to cross a picket line, they had to bring in the fucking army to do the loading. And then the local Indian tribe used their canoes to keep the vessel in port. Damn baby!!! Don’t get all weepy now, go join them!!!

I was at my sister-law’s house the other morning when she came into the living room and turned on Fox News and low and behold they were talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict(of course they referred to it as an Israeli-Hamas conflict) in Gaza. The person on there mentioned something about a ceasefire and my sister-law said something like I hope there isn’t a ceasefire or something along those lines. I asked her why did she not want a ceasefire and she just started talking about how Hamas has hostages and they killed innocent people. I didn’t deny that, but I said the Israeli Defense Forces were bombing hospitals, homes, apartment buildings etc. in other words civilians, not Hamas. I told her this is a genocide and she really just went off on me and said so you’re on the side of the Palestinians. I tried to explain to her that Israel was murdering civilians, of which over half of them are children. The point being that this is a genocide and she called it a war and said war is horrible, but Israel has to do this because Hamas are holding hostages and blah blah blah. People don’t want to steer away from the msm on this issue and of course Fox News is biased toward Israel anyway and won’t talk about the atrocities committed by the Israelis really since 1948 against the Palestinians. It became a shouting match with her yelling & screaming at me. This is all to say how people are very emotional when it comes to this conflict. As horrific as the Hamas attack was on 10/7/23, it doesn’t justify Israel taking it’s collective punishment/vengeance out on women and children, especially the children, whom have nothing to do with voting for Hamas. I’ve done some research and from what I’ve read recently atrocities were committed against the Palestinians way before there was Hamas. But of course one can’t say stuff like this without being called antisemitic which couldn’t be further from the truth.

Genocide is marching people at gun point into ovens and trenches to be shot. It's not where people are told, for days and days to get out of the way before hostilities start. Oh, what's that you moan? "But they have no where to go..." And why is that? Because none of their "Arab brothers" in other nations, notably Egypt, Syria, or Lebanon are willing to open their borders and let them in. Now, why do you suppose that it?

Nov 7, 2023·edited Nov 7, 2023

maybe not in EXACTLY the same way, time, and place -- but let's start counting the ways they do slaughter us:

- harvest festival mass shooting, up to 100 dead - Israelis were involved, you can see photos of them walkinga round with their israeli issued machine guns (very unique profile)

- 9-11: planned/orchestrated by Mossad/CIA/FBI (3-4000 dead Americans + 500k dead Iraqis + how many US soldiers/advisors/contractors AND LOCAL CIVILIANS in the ensuing wars against central bank-less countries: Libya, Iraq, Afgh, LIbya, Somalia, Yemen...) - so maybe 1 million dead at minimum amongst ALL these countries

- now we have the mini-9.11 planned by the same dolts, same script, no originality. fake heebs, fake screeds, fake homeland, inverted morality, real consequences.

- covid death/damage/infertility shots - 17 MILLION DEAD worldwide SO FAR with a 1-in-800 death rate on 13.25 BILLION INJECTIONS as of 2023, not to mention the disabled & damaged people which is probably at least 3X that amount, or 51 MILLION - the charge led by mainly zionist jews: ceo bourla, moderna ceo, bill "i don't vax my kids" gates, walensky, fy-zer turds, tv anchors & media producers, big tek leadership, cia/fib/nsa folx analysts managers and execs, hollyweird & muzak et ceteruh

- economic slavery and crushing taxes, offshoring good paying US jobs to other countries... and the ensuing prescription "OPIOID CRYSIS" - and higher suicide rates for white males and all other races too -

----- data: Opioid-involved overdose deaths rose from 21,089 in 2010 to 47,600 in 2017 (+26K) and remained steady through 2019 (26K x 3 = +78K). This was followed by a significant increase in 2020 with 68,630 reported deaths (+47K + 59K = +106K) and again in 2021 with 80,411 reported overdose deaths. Jun 30, 2023, Drug Overdose Death Rates - National Institute on Drug Abuse

our native americans were sorta slaughtered and cleared off the land like the palestinians, but that's a long time ago right? (how many million?)

---data: European settlers killed 56 MILLION indigenous people over about 100 years in South, Central and North America, causing large swaths of farmland to be abandoned and reforested, researchers at University College London, or UCL, estimate.

European Colonizers Killed So Many Native Americans --- Community Commons --- https://www.communitycommons.org › entities

---NOTE: let's just say NorthAm can claim 1/3 of the 56 MILLION, so that's 18.666 MILLION over 100 years or 186K per year if slaughtered at a continuous pace.

our prison industrial complex uses prisoners as slave labor, similar to palestinian labor + prisoner complex

- surveillance, israeli style - "patriot" act + future cyber patriot act (prelude to slaughter)

- israeli police training of US police to use extreme tactics and military hardware (prelude to slaughter)

the CIA imported crack cocaine into black american cities which led to gang violence and murder, plus overdose deaths. How many deaths?

-- data: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db81.pdf

"In 2008, over 41,000 people died as a result of a poisoning.

"Poisoning is now the leading cause of death from injuries

in the United States and nearly 9 out of 10 poisoning deaths

are caused by drugs."

ERgo, 90% x 41K = 37K deaths just in 2008 from drug overdoses from fentanyl (china/cartels/USG/US "intelligence") + crack cocaine + meth + heroin + other drugs. This excludes the years 1965-2008 and 2009-present.

ROCKEFELLER "MEDICINE" DEATHS: -- oh yeah, the ME-DIE-CULL industrial complex is now the THIRD leading cause of death in the US, all for a fancy price tag since fat nurses, school debt regurgitation "doctors" and hospital leases can't be offshored to Chindia:

-- data: "Study Suggests Medical Errors Now Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S."

"Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) third leading cause of death — respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year."

250K DEATHS PER YEAR!

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us

we're just earlier, and later, on the timeframe than palestine. your turn is coming! do not worry "33". pop bottles of rolling rock and wait your turn...

everything the US military and black ops does overseas, will come here too after refinement overseas.

And this doesn't include the poisoning from pHarmakea, MIC military "wars" (formally sanctioned mass murder events), SSRIs (maybe that's part of allopathic murder), fluoride in the water, radon, CO poisoning, increased MURDERS due to SOROS DAs releasing criminal demon seed onto the streets to murder carjack and KILL MORE AMERICANS, plus the illegal alien immigrant criminals + gang violence in inner-cities + stress + ....

Biowarfare: 100s of thousands dead disabled/injured from US DOD biowarfare tactics including Lyme disease, rickettsia, lone star, etc ticks released from Fort Detrick & Plum Island & elsewhere.

Agent Orange: released on US soldiers & Vietnamese & other civilians - how many cancer deaths from exposure? Same for mesothilioma, asbestos, lead, benzene, BPA/BPB, aspartame, etcetc... a few millions? You can figure it out.

abortion! the pill! this is easily 50 million in the US alone.

The Geneva convention accords more rights to enemy soldiers in war than the Israeli government is giving to the wounded in Gaza by bombing hospitals, cutting off medical supplies and electricity and water. Cattle are given more rights for humane treatment written into US law than the slaughter occuring in Gaza. This is purely and simply genocide. The US government by continuing to supply arms and building up US military forces in the Mideast is complicate in this genocide. Is this a precursor to the US invading Iran as a means of preventing them from developing a nuclear arsenal, as well as provoking Iran into"throwing the first punch" so the US has an excuse? Perhaps Halliburton has a contract for rebuilding Gaza for the Israelis once the genocide is complete. The UN is also complicate by it's inaction. It's a waste of space in New York City. Morally and ethically this is worse than the Nazis Holocaust because the world is watching in real time (which wasn't the case in WW2 ) and demanding a ceasefire.

Has the military budget increased by the "aid" we are sending to our "allies".? It's now over a trillion dollars if not.

Well, i do hope so. But in Judaism, biblical interpretation was always deferred to our elders and their wisdom and commentary. Starting with the Mishnah and then the Talmud.

Also, what one of the greatest rabbis Hillel the Elder said, "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn." Netanyahu, the whole AIPAC billionaire set have desecrated and used Judaism to evil ends and bent Israel into a corrupt theocractic dictatorship. No worse, no better than the Mullah Khomeini and the abuses of what Islam represents.

I was thinking of Proverbs 6-16-19, for example which is pretty explicit. Also, "passing children through the fire to Moloch" mentioned I think in 2 Kings, which would certainly be a accurate metaphor for killing them in war, is said to be an abomination, but I suppose it could be complained that that is subject to interpretation. (I don't know enough about Islam to comment on it.)

All we are saying is give peace a chance!

The USA has become ATM of foreign wars like Ukraine and Gaza: why?

What is being done now (and for much longer, of course, but especially now) by Israel in Gaza takes away their future right to call on the Holocaust to invite empathy for the suffering done to the Jewish people. Let me be 100% clear: I do NOT dismiss/deny/justify (etc) what happened during WW2.

But, after today, after this point in history (autumn 2023), the Judes have no longer the moral privilege to play out the Holocaust Joker card whenever they are cornered for their crimes. All Jews, wherever they live in the world, should condemn this and take action to stop it.

If not, just as all western politicians and civilian warmongers, they, too, are complicit to the crime that is unfolding right now, in our lifetime. I am extremely discusted by the inertia of those people who have the power to stop this.

I continue pondering, Why don't the alleged true Jewish leaders EXCOMMUNICATE Netanyahu? They would merely be following the Torah, as I understand it. One of my favorite philosophers, Spinoza, was excommunicated at age 23--for having a beautiful perspective on the universe!

They would not only be doing the right thing, they would look much more credible in the eyes of the world. Or at least to anyone with a milligram of humanity left. SERIOUSLY!
