Caitlin your words sre too kind toward Israel. Since before its official founding the Zionists have used terror and blackmail to create Israel. David Ben Gurian and others are on record. Example-

"Our race is the master race! We are divine God's on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. Other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Our Destiny is to Rule over the inferior races, the masses will lick our feet and serve as Our Slaves!" - Menachem Begin, founder of the Likud

And this-

“We will expel the Arabs and take their place. In each attack, a decisive blow should be struck resulting in the destruction of homes and the expulsion of the population.”-

David Ben-Gurion: Zionist and first Prime Minister of Israel–In Letters to his son, 1937 before Israel was created.

The hide behind AntiSemitism and Jew religion but those are tricks like US politicians hiding behind Christianity and The Constitution and they destroyed 100 years ago..

Don't forget the non-Jews who can be equally prejudicial otherwise how do you explain America's many Middle Eastern wars with little opposition form the American people and all the wars we engaged in were based on lies. Read about the history of the US when it came to their immigrant populations. Poles, Jews, Italians were considered beneath blacks and Poles weren't even considered human, and trust me they were treated badly. It was the northern and western Europeans that were desirable. Oh, and not to forget slavery. Don't forget our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom are chimps, and although I love them, they do run around too often killing, or attacking those within their group, or other groups they come across and it can be an all out war.

We are equally related to bonobos, who run around making love and cooperating with fellow tribes.

Yes, and genetically speaking more so, however they are not in our direct line of ancestry. I agree, and it is quite unfortunate.

Evolution seems to favor those that are more aggressive, since survival dominates everything. Bonobos just go around kissing each other.

Humans have been on the planet for around 100,000 years. It’s only been in the last 9,000 or so, with the advent of the notion of private property and paternity that we have become notably aggressive. Earlier anthropological records seem to indicate that we were more cooperative in our ancient past. We developed language and big brains for the purposes of cooperation - (you don’t need language if your survival depends on breeding and random acts of violence.) We are weak, stumpy, and slow. Our babies are helpless and require some 12+ years of community and parental investment to be self-sufficient. Those are not the markers of an aggressive uncooperative species. But look, in the few short centuries where we have evolved into a Hobbesian species, we are ushering in our own extinction.

Great comment! The Menachem Begin quote was new to me... A real MASK-OFF moment.

People are waking-up to this reality of the Zionist Supremacists, who've been working with the Xristianist Dominionists, on a common Armageddon project (that each supposes will work out for themselves and theirs, but not for the others).

I have been saying for some time that the Zionists are simply Israel's reinstitution of the Third Reich using large outdoor camps eventually resorting to genocide that would have made Hitler proud.

@notBob

I certainly question the attitudes, morality (and legality!) of individuals in ANY government, positions of power draw intelligent sociopaths like manure draws flies.

And in internet political commentary, misattributed, edited or downright fake quotes by famous names are more common than actual ones offered in context and with correct attribution.

Verifiable attribution or I must assume it is just more self serving BS, regardless of wether or not I find the quote in line with my prejudices!

Whitney Webb is the hardest working woman in the legally actionable conspiracy business. For more of the kind of confirmed misanthrope from policy makers in the Dulles camp and succeeding kings I trust her adherence to journalism standards. Counterpunch I tell people is the vetted news. As a news consumer I put this categorically senior wh house adviser in three boxes. Lunatic, for pitys sake, idealogue making up that he takes decent humans into his accounting, of course only a guess that if he was as rabid as Ms Clinton he would have been found out. And thirdly sociopath, we have to guesstimate that we who are willing to enact firebombings are corpses of their vital selves. If we cannot have a democracy including experiments in sortician all the way to the senate then we are the kind of Republic and not a democracy that Hillsdale college in MI is selling. Our representatives are born fresh every day so that if they wished to act out of another attitude than abject fear for tomorrow, they might exercise the power of the purse. I look at John Meersheimer who grins when he talks about megadeaths, and I forget that we have been told, actually that some people have innocent problems of affect like that. It is all I can see clearly that representatives whose goal was to survive a term in service with their goodwill toward man would not settle for the poor persuasions of the armaments lobby. I think.

I couldn’t of said it better myself, Caitlin. This is horrific what this a*shole did to these people simply b/c they are Muslims. Yes anti-Jewish hate is real, but every bit as real is Islamophobia and yes, Russophobia, sadly. I’m saddened about what my country’s government is supporting and I’m all alone in this in my family.😢☮️

I think quite a few people felt at liberty to attack Muslims because the focus was on what Hamas did, which was not only murder, taking captives, but rape and killing babies much of which turned out to be a lie. Interesting that his comments were so, well, low class and those who responded to it acted with dignity. He should reflect on that. He's a Pariah now facing a lot of backlash.

I wonder if there are any ways to sue him and others like him civilly. I note that the police refused to act on "first amendment considerations" when they have no problem arresting pro Palestinian protesters for just asking Bernie Sanders to support a ceasefire. It would be a helpful start to have him and others bankrupted for a pattern of harassment and blatant threats to the poor halal cart operator.

All our politicians, save the very few who came out to say least support a ceasefire, needs to go. They should be charged for abetting a genocide and they and others like them should be shunned as the ex-Nazis were properly shunned in Yugoslavia and the non-imperialist controlled parts of Europe after WWII.

WOW! ... the irony that Zionist are doing to Arabs what NAZIs did to Jews.

Expand full comment
JB's avatar

As you dig more into the history of Zionism, you will realize that they always wanted to do what the Nazis did, to non-Jews and anti-Zionist Jews who were in their way. They've been doing it since the 1930s and planning it for far longer.

It's not ironic, it's been their plan all along. If they could, they would do the same to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Luckily IDF appear incapable of even fighting the lightly armed Hamas in Gaza. All they can do is fire American made missiles at Palestinian hospitals and schools and homes and mosques/churches.

They're worse than Nazis in practice. The Nazis were compelled to hide their extermination campaigns in extermination camps and sites away from population centers. The Israelis are loudly announcing their final solution on TV and social media, they don't even bother to hide that they are genociding civilians everywhere, in hospitals and in places that days ago they claim to be "safe", and that was always their "final solution".

They do this because the American political class is bought and paid for, and frankly share their views (witness carnage in Libya and Afghanistan and Latin America, where the argument of Israeli national interest is peripheral).

"Israel really is exactly as evil as it appears to be, and its behavior in Gaza is exactly what it looks like."

When someone reveals who they truly are to you--believe it! Don't let them gaslight you into thinking it's not true or that they're being smeared by others. If a country's leaders openly say racists things and order the murder of thousands of innocents--including newborn babies in incubators--then they're openly admitting they are evil. Take them at their word. Let their words and actions damn them for all eternity. And never let anyone forget this evil and how you exposed it to the world for judgment.

It is not as much the words but the sense of racism is his tone and actions. No doubt many like him in high position now. I wonder if people with the power to stop the genocide in Gaza share his views. I am certain without any doubt that our President would have stopped the killing of civilians in Gaza in a heartbeat if those were Ukrainian babies and children. Only difference is we actually got to see this one on camera

I disagree about Ukraine. The US stopped a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine in March 2022. They've been telling Ukraine to feed men into the war and possibly as many as 500,000 have died as a result so far. Before that, 14,000 died in the Donbas, primarily due to Ukrainians shelling of ethnic Russians.

We're ruled by ghouls who will murder any one of us, if it benefits them. Any concession they made in the past and may make in the future is not done out of their humanity. Don't forget this!

This segment of Tariq Ali's "Winston Churchill: His Times, His Crimes" focuses on Churchill and the British racist views of Arabs, the formation of Israel, and the strong British influence over and support of Zionism. It's a fascinating background that explains even more about the current Palestine/Israel situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU5O9zfH9fE.

For that matter, look up the (entirely intentional on the part of St. Winston) Bengal Famine, in which millions were starved to death by intentional British policy.

There is a reason that the Indian subcontinent does not seem to understand the American hard-on for that evil old drunk.
