Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): How is anyone still talking about October 7? What Israel has done since October 7 is many times worse than what happened on that day by any conceivable metric; the only way to feel otherwise is to believe Israeli lives are worth many times more than Palestinian lives. How is Israeli suffering still being centered over vastly less significant acts of violence three months ago while exponentially worse violence and suffering is being inflicted by Israelis right this very moment?
Having been to what is known as the Holy Land to me, I have long supported Palestinians right to be free of Zionist living, terrorizing, censoring, seizing land , murdering people. Free of Israel’s existence! Which we know was a huge error in 1948. Biden is utterly evil, as is Britains, Canadas, etc, support of Apartheidism and genocide.
Caitlin, your comments about awakening are very true and go deeper than you think. Once awakened to this, the whole Empire literally begins to crumble and the Emperor's nakedness is clear to see.
In articulating this awakening, a saying is emerging in circles of those with shared Muslim heritage in particular (Asian / Middle Eastern etc) , 'We want to free Palestine but Palestine freed us.'
Herzog said today that the ICJ accusations are "atrocious" and Israel is engaging in "self-defense". Saying this with a straight face, while thousands of dead children are being stacked and Israeli officials are publicly calling for cleaning, is only possible because not only is this now a post truth world where words have hypermaleable meanings, but because their country is part of the decentralized global empire that controls the narrative.
What is absolutely terrifying about this... if they can get away with a genocide and claim innocence while it is being livestreamed showing demonstrable proof of evil, they will get away with anything and everything they do in the dark when only a small minority are dissenting.
You always make such important points, Caitlin. I particularly loved the last one, about not being ashamed to get involved even if you're late to the situation.

Instructions on how to contact International Court of Justice (ICJ) Judges to express how you feel, before they make judgement on South Africa Vs Israel genocide case on Thurs 11th Jan, 2024: (Process will take max 3min)
Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding the impending matter of South Africa v. Israel with the ICJ
Dear Madam President and esteemed panel of Judges,
I hope this message finds you well and resolute. My name is [Your Name], I am a concerned citizen of the [Your Country]. I am reaching out to you with a sense of urgency and sincere apprehension which prompts me to break my customary silence.
I have always held the belief that individuals in positions of authority, such as yourself, harbour the best interests of humanity at heart. However, recent developments in the Middle East and the global response to them have stirred doubt in my convictions, compelling me to express my concerns directly to you.
As I explored the International Court of Justice's website, I took solace in the fact that it consists of "independent judges, elected regardless of their nationality from among persons of high moral character." With this understanding, I address you regarding the impending South Africa v. Israel matter, the provisional measures hearing of which is scheduled for Thursday, 11th and Friday, 12th January 2024.
I am sure that you are acutely aware of the gravity of the case before you, and I believe that your ability to discern the truth, resist external pressures, and deliver a just judgment is foremost on your mind. The Genocide Convention, a cornerstone of international law, was established in 1948 as a commitment to 'never again' allow atrocities akin to those committed by the Nazi’s in WW2. 152 states out of 194 nations of the world honourably signed up to the convention. It is a testament to our parents and grandparents that their generations committed to a set of standards that constitute the basic principles of right and wrong, which underpin the fabric of the world we live in and form the basis of the lives most of us are lucky enough to lead.
The very fact that the responsibility of adjudicating on this case has fallen upon your shoulders underscores a disheartening truth – the failure of existing systems of checks and balances within the international community. It is disconcerting that national interests have tainted the operations of our global systems, allowing the mass killing of civilians to persist without intervention. I find this reality appalling, as do countless citizens around the world who have expressed their horror through protests on the streets of cities across the globe.
The upcoming case is a litmus test for humanity's commitment to the solemn pledge of 'Never Again.' Generations have been educated about the horrors of the Holocaust, and this case challenges us to live up to the principles we profess. It is a stark reminder that the values we hold dear are being tested in real-time, with devastating consequences.
In March 2022, the International Court of Justice ordered Russia to immediately suspend military operations in Ukraine and ensure that affiliated units take no further steps in furtherance of the military operations. Despite this intervention, an estimated 10,000 civilians have tragically lost their lives in Ukraine since Russia's military operation in 2022. Moreover, and by comparison, the death toll in Gaza has already surpassed 22,000 since October 2023, with a staggering 70% of the victims being women and children.
In an age where mainstream media faces scepticism due to perceived biases, the global community has been witness to Israel's actions in real-time through various social media platforms such as X, TikTok, and Telegram. Enclosed with this letter, you'll find compelling evidence pointing towards Israel's culpability in intending to commit genocide and engaging in genocidal military actions, among other alleged war crimes.
We find ourselves in a world where trust in global institutions is eroding rapidly. The International Court of Justice, in particular, cannot afford to make an erroneous judgment in the #SouthAfrica v. #Israel genocide case. A misjudgement in this matter would not only underscore the ICJ's ineffectiveness but also prompt scrutiny regarding its autonomy from nation-state political influences, potentially compromising the esteemed moral character of the individuals involved.
In 1945 we celebrated Winston Churchill as the leader that brought the world together in war to put-down the threat of Nazi Germany and the horror it inflicted. That war claimed over 50 million lives. We do not wish to celebrate a wartime hero again; we wish to celebrate new heroes who averted a war by presiding over justice without fear or favour.
I humbly beseech you to approach this case with the utmost diligence, impartiality, and commitment to justice. The eyes of the world are upon you, and the outcome of this particular case will reverberate through history, shaping perceptions of the ICJ's impartiality and moral standing.
We all bear some great burdens for allowing this zionist Holocaust of the Palestinians to have gone on since the planning stages of the early 1900s. Also not condemning the usa, uk, ... for allowing this massive zionist genocide to have gone on for some 15 times longer than the G Holocaust. Why would any group of people do this deep an evil to others for 3/4ths of a century after having been screaming about what had been done to them over some 4 to 5 years?
When people ask: "How was the holocaust allowed to happen?" I laugh.
You’re seeing exactly how it was ALLOWED to happen, right here before our own eyes...in our own time.
One day future generations will ask: "How was it allowed to happen AGAIN ?" !
“Few people are willing to brave the disapproval of their peers, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.”
"This genocide is being live-streamed." - hence maybe it'll actually work this time and that geographical cancer called Israel will get chemo'd into Dead Sea.
You're so right and thank you for forcing me to look at myself. I'm donating tomorrow and that's a commitment. I realized tonight that after losing so many friends, my faith in people and my lifelong political affiliation over COVID, I detached and gave up making my feelings and opinions known. I don't know what else I can or will do, but at the very least I can donate.
The biggest problem with Americans is that they don't know what it is to be bombed.
They have never experienced the fear of being invaded, and they don't understand what it's like to be afraid that bombs will begin raining down on you at any moment.
To understand something conceptually is not the same as to know something experientially.
If Americans did, this would have been over before it began.
"This genocide is being live-streamed. We can’t say we didn’t know. "
The revolution won't be televised, but this genocide most certainly is. Anyone who denies this fact is mentally unstable or just a plain ol' sociopath.
"It’s not too late to get involved in opposing Israel’s assault on Gaza."
It's never too late to do something good. We need everyone on Gaza's side TODAY.
