100% spot on Caitlin, as usual!!who the fk would bomb a place that has hostages? Who would block aid and food? It’s so clearly obvious they don’t give a flying fk about hostages. All they want is to expand and kill Palestinians as they have since 1948 nonstop. The educated people know this. The ICJ knows this, veterans know this, and all human rights organizations know this.
Totally, and we know the IDF wantonly killed hundreds of Israelis on Oct.7 just to bolster their case for bombing Gaza until there's nothing living there....
Mindy, in reality EVERYONE knows this (though many pretend not to). Even the Israelis know this, but to come to terms with the TRUTH would mean that they would have to own up to their complicity in all the EVIL and CRIMES perpetrated by Israelis and Zionists since before 1948. This cognitive dissonance would BREAK many a Zionist. Hence, they do their utmost to disbelieve and not admit what is apparent to the WHOLE WORLD. Call it self-induced brainwashing if you will in an attempt to maintain their illusions of Israeli society and culture.
I think that you are giving Zionists a lot more credit than they deserve. From all I have observed of them, they are very proud of their psychopathy, but just blabber their slogans as a way to make the people they have contempt for (those with a conscience) shut up and go away before they ramp it up to doxing, harassment, and cancelling.
What society, what culture. It’s all stolen since they don’t have anything authentic. A sick society that uses rape as a means of torture and as initiation rites committed by rabbis. It’s a diluted society that doesn’t respect the rights of anyone.
The supporters of Israel subscribe to the racist belief that the death of one Jew is equal to the deaths of thousands of non-Jews. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Muslims and Christians have been slaughtered by Jews in the past century. When the numbers are counted, most estimate that 500,000 plus Palestinians in the Gaza concentration camp will be dead and as many again, if not more maimed.
And somehow a couple of hundred Israeli hostages, most of them military and therefore legitimate targets are more important than tens of thousands of children.
An Eye for an Eye, literally was meant to be an Eye for an Eye - that is equivalent justice for the injury done. It never was intended to be 1 eye for 10,000 eyes. That is a perversion of the original Jewish belief. Israel is a perversion of all that one might consider fundamental to the Judaic faith.
Unfortunately too many Jews for too long have allowed them to say they are Jews and that they act in the name of Jews and worse, have kept funding their atrocities. On that count Judaism and Jews must take responsibility for the evil that is Israel.
Most big wealthy bosses of the Khazarian Mafia are atheists, or Luciferians, latching onto the Jewish identity. They don't believe in God, because they are narcissistic materialists, but they insist God promised them the land of Palestine, always manipulating and pushing the pity buttons of the goyisch mind, and smearing anyone who objects.
Yes agree. The greatest anti-semite in the world is Zionist Israel and its supporters because they claim Judaism and Jews support and promote occupation, colonisation, genocide, ethnic cleansing, murder, rape, torture, theft......
This is clearly stated in The Big Scary Book No One Is Allowed To Read Or Else. One of their lives is worth a thousand goyim, and they will be sacrificed in service to the greater plan as the Khazarian Mafia sees fit.
When I come across the word hostages (in the Palestine-Israel context), I think of the 10,000+ people held in Israeli jails and the thousands more since Oct.7th. The situation in Israeli prisons has become so abominable that Israelis are running out of prison space to keep all the hostages and are killing them to make place for new hostages. THESE ISRAELI ARE "NOT" HUMAN!!!
How is this that different from the Nazi death camps? One could replace the images of dead Jews with dead Palestinians in many of these situations and the outcome would be the same...
This is a Genocide! This is a Holocaust! And this is still continuing despite everyone knowing the truth (but some pretending otherwise). The "Collective West" IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. Please don't let anyone forget this!
All too unfortunately, they are human. I can find no solution in the dehumanisation of any one. We will all lose if we claim our reasons for dehumanising are better than theirs. We need to learn how to come to grips with that, and deal with it as a problem of humanity.
I was driving in the East San Francisco Bay today and couldn't help but notice a crowd of seriously deluded people waving Israeli flags, pride flags, American flags and pro-Israel banners on the pedestrian bridge over the I80 in Berkeley. They were trying to get honks of support from the cars in the heavy traffic below but as I passed, I didn't hear anyone honking or giving a thumbs up (when anti-genocide people wave Palestinian flags from the very same bridge, they gets lots of positive honks from the cars below).
I'm not the sort of person to be crude or uncouth but I simply had to give them the finger as I passed by.
My thought at the time was: how can these people be so delusional that they think they are on the right side of history and that their cause is just?
Fortuitously, Caitlin Johnstone has published this article today where she writes about this exact same mental phenomenon: what some say is a form of 'paranoid delusional psychosis'.
I watched an Israeli TV news report. A settler in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights talked about hostilities hopefully ending before kids go back to school next month, and how Israelis were impatient that the government hadn't made it safe to go back to their homes near the Lebanon border. There was no awareness that they're all living on stolen land.
🙏 Caitlin, your heartrending powerful truth should shatter the complacency of a World Court who supposedly are still waiting to see if the war criminals are doing a plausible genocide!
You give voice to those of us who care with an intensity we didn't know we had. Is there nothing we could do- we who are left watching and weeping with the little children, and all Gazans waiting for the nightmare to end. Day after terrible day - and now it is already gone ten months.
With your powerful rendition of a roll call of inhumane criminality, Israel, the US and the western world stand condemned before humanity, the court of compassionate public opinion. The western world which gorged themselves on bygone killing fields are still greedy for more and Israel is satisfying their hunger. Shame on them!
Israel no longer has the exclusive right to own the word " holocaust".
“Hell is empty. All the devils are here. “William Shakespeare “the Tempest “. “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. “Norman Cousins.
It makes me sad to know that people I have known since we were teenagers; one a rabbi hold these ideas and opinions. I am afraid you are right, Caitlin. It is just so sad and disillusioning.
Spot on Caitlin - "not people with healthy minds, with functioning empathy centers in their brains"... I literally just replied to pro-Israeli lobby who insist on obfuscating, deflecting, and demonising the only party in the Australian Parliament who will call out Israel - The Greens. Disclaimer: not my politics - but this issue is (SHOULD BE) entirely unrelated to politics - it's humanity.
The Greens recently tabled a very reasonable motion in the Senate for direct sanctions against Israeli leaders as has been proposed in other countries. They were lambasted in Parliament by both Labor and The Coalition - who conveniently ignored the matter at hand and accused them of "grandstanding", "political gain" and even calling them "extremists".
Then on Friday the CEO of a major pro-Israeli group rubbished the Greens and took the following argument (of course printed word-for-word in the Australian and echoed ad naseum Sky News):
a) expanding the Greens criticism of Israel to all of Judaism (standard operating procedure and antisemitic by the IHRA definition of antisemitism, never mind collectively inciteful).
Then with that false premise in place - "no other minority would be expected to put up with being targeted incessantly by The Greens".
Really? So proposing sanctions for Israeli leaders - who already have arrest warrants being requested of the ICC - is directly attacking all Jewish people, and hence a minority in Australia? Come on.
This is completely illogical apart from being deceptive and in-line with your comments on different mental makeup Caitlin.
b) labelling the Greens "a party of stunts, who promote division, disunity and hatred to win votes" So calling for urgent motions on humanitarian sanctions in a Parliamentary democracy is "promoting division" ... as above - who is promoting division for their (Israel's) own gain?
My reply - noting The Greens were the only party with the humanity to raise sanctions - and asking where their humanity was - got me blocked by the tone-deaf coward. It got me thinking literally about someone's mindset to interpret this way - and then I read your article.
Repeating this post in other words:People say this nonsense because they cannot face their amorality, pettiness and ultimate lack of anything humane regarding Israel. They’re pathetic and their leaders are war criminals. They’re already destroyed by definition for their world is a primordial mechanical waste devoid of humanity.
I see those of us who are watching this horror before our eyes in real time as spectators in the Roman Coliseum, calmly watching the slaughter in the arena. All we do is to buy another beer and hot dog.
"When will we do something to make it stop?" I think that is the question for the ages. What is preventing the world's nations from sending contingents to protect Palestinian children? ???????????????????
"What is preventing the world's nations.........."
The very sort answer is ....the USA....along with all the other sycophants and vassal states like Australia, NZ, Canada, France, the UK and on.
How to change directions? End the US empire as we know it. No other obvious recovery there, sadly.
Do not expect any change in November, 2024. How can you get 460 Jewish controlled freeloaders, well assured of their positions as highly paid Congress members or Representatives or potential candidates to turn their backs on such a life, when all they have to do is splutter a few Jewish supportive phrases now and then to receive their promised share of AIPAC electoral funding. Best example to date....RFK. jnr. A candidate for the Academy Award for Best Change of Direction (in the shortest time) and now a clearly stated friend of Donald Trump.
Say no more. This is America. Hollywood in Washington.
The AIPAC accountants will take it from there and thanks to all the Western media,, there is little chance of the voters even being aware of the devious (criminal) dealings and controls activated by AIPAC, thinking that the organisation is a social club for worthy political followers of the current incumbent government. They'll never know otherwise if they read the NYT or Fox, CNN and the rest as well..
No folks. It is not going to happen and we all know that. 460 changes in character? 460 conscience awakenings? 460 electorates discarding apathy in the search for truth?
I can't dispute any of your comments. There is one more comment however than can be added, so that we can make some sense of the representative debacle and it is this one.... How can we blame anyone from following the crowd when we know that without money, only disaster awaits. In Canada, one of the countries you mention, a few dozen of its citizens are found frozen to death in their tents in the middle of January because they couldn't pay the rent. Just that makes the political class amenable to corruption.
PLEASE read The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen.
In it, he says that fear of lack is not the driving force behind acquisition ("adding to golden numbers golden numbers" in the Judeo-Christian Bible). It's driven by invidious comparison with one's peers.
Darwin's observations suggested that survival is the main priority of living organisms, adding that survival usually belonged to the fittest members of species. If I understand correctly, Veblen believed that comparisons between peers was the most important driver of evolution. If that is correct, you need to be alive to be compared to one's peers, and if being alive means catching more prey, then that is where the priority starts .... No ??? I'm jut speculating that I understood the point in your text, as I haven't read Veblen, although it is an interesting proposition.
Israeli, and Zionism are not synonymous with Judaism, nor Jews. This is a problem that calls for acute precision in order to properly analyse it. Lack of clarity assures that we obscure the truth. The convergence of Power, Profits, and Prophets is formidable. Anything and everything that fails to fully grasp this works to their, not our, advantage.
These three are currently operating in concert, but they have divergent interests. Some have short term goals, others are playing for the long run. Some are seeking Armageddon, whilst others seek temporal luxury and total control. Some seek earthly possessions in the here and now, others want to bring on the Messiah but without total destruction.
We need to figure out fast just how to magnify the contradictions between them.
History has been incredibly unjust at times but it doesn’t make our stance any less eternal and crucial. Without our stance either small or big enough to stop the Israeli slaughter, we are consigned to desolation.
I now believe only more violence will make this stop. Iran most likely holds the answer. We in the u.s. and israel are alone in this Genocide thankfully. I feel horrible thinking this however, I see nothing else standing in the way. Protesting in Chicago against the Genocidal Maniacs of Kamala allowed people to hear Genocide Kamala " I will make our country an even greater military power". Her failure may create a longer term effect for peace? That sounds a bit Accelerationist doesn't it.
Well, Western Europe is also behind the genocide, esp and ironically, Germany. But parity in weapons and military force for the Palestinians has been needed for 80 yrs in order for them to be represented in a fair deal.
I too believe that Iran is the answer. Let’s recall that they are part of the Shanghai Cooperation that includes China and Russia. If it brings about WWIII so be it.
I do understand that it must be difficult and painful to have someone you love being held hostage. What I don't understand is how the families of those hostages can accept a genocide happening while their loved ones are being held hostage. I also understand that they rationalize all that killing by saying the Palestinians are "human animals" so they, being supreme beings, can do whatever needs doing to get those hostages home. I don't understand how they cannot see that Netanyahu and his gang don't care at all about the hostages. So, if there is any complexity to this, it is that people can remain so blind to what is going on and not see that they are manipulating the holocaust to maintain their victim status which they think gives them the right to commit genocide. Oops, I mean to defend themselves.
Israel has been killing children long before October 7th. Remember those four 10 year old boys playing soccer on the beach that were shot and three more wounded? It took them two years to investigate it and said it was an accidental drone strike when it clearly was not. The only reason it was exposed was there happened to be reporters on the beach who witnessed it. Who knows how many of these killings have happened we never have heard about?
I don’t understand how anyone can justify this with “Israel has a right to defend itself/exist” and the MSM won’t cover demonstrations by Jews who want this stopped. It won’t cover the violence in the West Bank where there’s no Hamas and no hostages. I know the lobby is very powerful but even they must realize this has to end somewhere.
I think the people with the money who are enabling this situation actually do see themselves as supreme (rich) beings that will somehow not be touched by the disaster they are orchestrating. They are demented by money and power and their own narrow little minds.
What is interesting to me is: The Israeli Hostages were returned in good shape BUT the small amount of Palestinian hostages that have been returned look mentally ill and starved.
" that people can remain so blind to what is going on "... Not blind as much as dumfounded, perplexed., horrified and helplessly aghast. If Israelis have a right to defend themselves, then Palestinian children should also have that right? Can they defend themselves?
This indoctrinated sociopathic reasoning, fermenting and ultimately fomenting into psychotic rationalization is symptomatic of stage 4 metastasis of Jewish Zionism throughout the body politic of Israel and the American and Western institutions is has subsumed. A malignancy intent on killing its host, should that be the price of apocalyptic usurpation of its specious land claim in the middle east.
Just to clarify, Zionism began with 16th century English Christians, spread by Christian Zealots, including those old favourites the Puritans. It took some further 400 years to get to political Zionism with Jewish leaders who were holding, even then, a minority opinion among world Jewry.
Additionally, there is the colonial power grab, and the obscene amount of money going to the warmongering MIC.
Limiting this issue to only one of these groups does not help in finding a way out of the horrors.
“Never again” is now used in many different ways, including noble ones, but the Zionist who first popularized it meant something entirely different from what we think (Israeli hasbara doesn’t bring this up so much): he said, after the Nazi Holocaust, that never again would Jews be pushed around by Gentiles; from now on, Jews would do the pushing.
100% spot on Caitlin, as usual!!who the fk would bomb a place that has hostages? Who would block aid and food? It’s so clearly obvious they don’t give a flying fk about hostages.

They simply are monsters.

Spot on.
Really, Susan? They’re “not Jews”?
Who runs AIPAC? The ADL? What percentage of the “Jewish State” condones the genocide? Hint: it’s massive.
Excusing Jews for the ethnic cleaning is gaslighting. It’s not atheists and pagans who are pushing this atrocity.
Jews are not a race. Jewishness is based on belief.
The Israelis are not practicing Judaism. They are breaking the Judaic laws that have been laid down for centuries.
Therefore, they are not Jews.
Don't get them mixed up with the millions of Jews around the world who ARE practicing Judaism and oppose the Israelis actions.
And Genocide Joe is a practicing Catholic who supports abortion and completely ignores that commandment stating “Thou shall not kill”.
So don’t you dare tell me that all practicing Jews oppose this slaughter.
Most big wealthy bosses of the Khazarian Mafia are atheists, or Luciferians, latching onto the Jewish identity. They don't believe in God, because they are narcissistic materialists, but they insist God promised them the land of Palestine, always manipulating and pushing the pity buttons of the goyisch mind, and smearing anyone who objects.
Yes agree. The greatest anti-semite in the world is Zionist Israel and its supporters because they claim Judaism and Jews support and promote occupation, colonisation, genocide, ethnic cleansing, murder, rape, torture, theft......

"There was no awareness that they're all living on stolen land."
I personally doubt that.
Settler violence to gain land has been going on for years and years under Israeli COLONIZATION going on back to before 1948.
They simply accept that the land is really theirs (now?)
AT best they know it is TAKEN if not considered stolen
To hear them talk, many of them have been led to honestly believe that the land was theirs before. Twisted minds.
The power and expertise of The State in using propaganda to support their actions is great - even in the U.S.

We can't accept the Egypt is complicit in killing Palestinian children by not opening its border?
What’s Egypt’s level of complicity compared to Israel’s, the US’s and Europe’s. Are they profiting off the killing?

Israel has been killing children long before October 7th. Remember those four 10 year old boys playing soccer on the beach that were shot and three more wounded? It took them two years to investigate it and said it was an accidental drone strike when it clearly was not. The only reason it was exposed was there happened to be reporters on the beach who witnessed it. Who knows how many of these killings have happened we never have heard about?
I don’t understand how anyone can justify this with “Israel has a right to defend itself/exist” and the MSM won’t cover demonstrations by Jews who want this stopped. It won’t cover the violence in the West Bank where there’s no Hamas and no hostages. I know the lobby is very powerful but even they must realize this has to end somewhere.
I think the people with the money who are enabling this situation actually do see themselves as supreme (rich) beings that will somehow not be touched by the disaster they are orchestrating. They are demented by money and power and their own narrow little minds.
What is interesting to me is: The Israeli Hostages were returned in good shape BUT the small amount of Palestinian hostages that have been returned look mentally ill and starved.
One young woman looked better. Probably better food!
Susan,
" that people can remain so blind to what is going on "... Not blind as much as dumfounded, perplexed., horrified and helplessly aghast. If Israelis have a right to defend themselves, then Palestinian children should also have that right? Can they defend themselves?
This nightmare in Gaza is literally giving me nightmares. I've been sick to my stomach for 10 months and feel totally helpless. I have to switch off.
Hi Shelley
I have awoken screaming because I dreamed bombs were falling around my house… but for many, this is reality.
Me too. Thanks for sharing.
This indoctrinated sociopathic reasoning, fermenting and ultimately fomenting into psychotic rationalization is symptomatic of stage 4 metastasis of Jewish Zionism throughout the body politic of Israel and the American and Western institutions is has subsumed. A malignancy intent on killing its host, should that be the price of apocalyptic usurpation of its specious land claim in the middle east.
Just to clarify, Zionism began with 16th century English Christians, spread by Christian Zealots, including those old favourites the Puritans. It took some further 400 years to get to political Zionism with Jewish leaders who were holding, even then, a minority opinion among world Jewry.
Additionally, there is the colonial power grab, and the obscene amount of money going to the warmongering MIC.
Limiting this issue to only one of these groups does not help in finding a way out of the horrors.
Many Israeli Jews consider Palestinians to be instinctive beasts who do not reason. But who are the beasts? And are there other beasts that do this?
We all are beasts. And we are all beasts worthy of respect, dignity and life.
Cats most assuredly reason!
Yes we do Feral! (Remember, I’m a cat in a woman’s body.)
And horses too. Think about where the term “horse sense” came from.
The only other species besides "humans" which kills for the fun of it is the orca.
Even orcas don’t commit mass murder or genocide.
What a pity that the “never again” slogan could be such a lie. Gaza is the Warsaw Ghetto on a larger scale !
“Never again” is now used in many different ways, including noble ones, but the Zionist who first popularized it meant something entirely different from what we think (Israeli hasbara doesn’t bring this up so much): he said, after the Nazi Holocaust, that never again would Jews be pushed around by Gentiles; from now on, Jews would do the pushing.
