End the Genocide – End the Ethnic Cleansing – Palestine shall
be free from the river to the sea
Clips from the demonstration today
Today was the largest of the 3
demonstrations on Palestine to date. The main slogans called for a ceasefire
now as Israel deliberately bombs Gaza with the intention of destroying all
civilian life. Hospitals, clinics, schools, mosques, churches – nothing issacrosanct for Israel’s American supplied weaponry.
Even the world’s third oldest church, St.
Porphyrius was bombed.
Corbyn, Diane Abbot, Zara Sultana, Mick
Lynch & UNISON Speakers
‘Palestine Must be Free from the
River to the Sea’ was a popular chant too. The Zionists claim that this means genocide
of Jews which in itself betrays their racist mentality. The slogan simply means
that an apartheid Jewish Supremacist state must be replaced by a democratic
state of all its citizens.
Aerial Views of Demonstration
Of course a Jewish state, just like
a Christian ethno-nationalist state is inherently racist and has to go.A state where Jews receive preferential
treatment by virtue of their racial classification owes more to Nazi Germany and
Apartheid in South Africa than a genuine democracy.
As Netanyahu made clear at the time
of the passing of the Jewish Nation State Law Israel is not a state of its
citizens but its Jewish citizens only.
Anyone who
buys into Israel’s Narrative that they are Fighting Nazis Needs Their Head Examining
This Jewish Nazi Finds it Amusing To Have the Destruction of Palestinian Homes As A Backdrop
Just imagine what joy there must be
among Israel’s neo-Nazis, a large section of Israeli society today, at the
sight of thousands of Palestinians being killed, hospitals bombed, journalists
murdered and taken off the air and schools hit with White Phosphorous.
Genocide is in the air and of
course Israel’s racist youth must have their fun. Meanwhile Israeli Palestinians
are experiencing
a wave of settler attacks and violence. This is the Israel that Sunak, Starmer
and Biden are going into bat for.
Meta (Facebook) Does Its Best in Israel to Censor Anything Pro-Palestinian
Gilad Erdan Calls Hamas ‘Modern Day Nazis’
At the UN General Assembly today Israel’s
representative, Gilad Erdan proclaimed:
This is not a war with the Palestinians. Israel is at war with the
genocidal jihadist Hamas terror organization only. It is the law-abiding
democracy of Israel against modern-day Nazis
Making fun of Palestinians living in a dog kennel
Erdan added that Hamas has only one
goal, which is to murder every single Jew. This lie has been repeated by
countless Israeli representatives – they are fighting the new Nazis. However
anyone with any understanding of history knows that it is not Hamas, a
reactionary Islamist organisation to be sure, but Israel itself which is
behaving like the Nazis.
Yocheved
Lifshitz, the freed Jewish hostage, proved that when she praised the humane
treatment that she had received from Hamas. It is Israeli hospitals who are refusing to treat
Hamas attackers thus revealing
that Israeli doctors are no better than SS counterparts.
Palestinians lacking fuel and electricity is highly amusing to this Zionist bitch
The Times of Israel complainedthat ‘Lifshitz
press conference panned as disastrous for Israel, PR win for Hamas’. Why? Because
it gave the lie to the assertion that Hamas’s goal was the extermination of Jews.
Hamas has made it very clear that it distinguishes between Jews and Zionists.
Mimicking Palestinian children, or those Israel hasn't yet killed, without food or water must be highly amusing to these morons
Adam Keller, an Israeli
peace activist wrote
describing how the word ‘extermination’
with all its resonance of Auschwitz has entered the language of Israeli
politics.
Israel's Hitler Tots Play Their Part in the Racist Fun
This week Roy Sharon, a
"respectable" radio and TV commentator on the main Israeli
broadcasting corporation, spoke very explicitly of his desire to see “a
million dead bodies in Gaza”.
And the streets of Tel Aviv
are flooded with red stickers reading "Exterminate Gaza!". Not
"Destroy!", not "Flatten!" – but clearly and explicitly
"Exterminate Gaza!". "Le-Ha-Sh-Mid!" -
"Exterminate!" Every Jewish Israeli knows from a young age exactly
what this word means. ….
Nazi Germany was the military, industrial
and economic power house of Europe in the 1930s, just as Israel is in the Middle
East today. The Jews of Europe were as powerless as the Palestinians are today.
It is not Hamas which espouses racial supremacism but the Zionist leaders who
are engaging in genocide in Gaza.
Zionism deliberately depoliticises Nazism.
For Zionism Nazism was not fascist, it was simply anti-Jewish. That is why Israeli
Ministers who openly proclaim that they are fascist, like Bezalel
Smotrich and Miri
Regev, nonetheless proclaim that they are fighting ‘the Nazis’ i.e. the Palestinians. Of course they are doing no such
thing.
Some Zionists in Israel actually identify
with the Nazis. The only difference between Israel’s Jewish Supremacists and
the Nazis is that so far the former haven’t yet embarked on a program of mass extermination
although the genocide we are witnessing in Gaza is beginning to take on the
appearance of extermination. Where once Jews were the victims of murderous
racism today they are the murderous racists.
Ethnic cleansing of Jews from Germany
was the program of the Nazi party from the minute they gained power in Germany in
January 1933 to 1939. Ethnic cleansing is the unwritten program of Netanyahu’s
far-right government. Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister and Gauleiter of the
West Bank was explicit about this when he told Aymen Odeh, leader of the Arab-Jewish
Joint list in the Knesset, that
“You are here by mistake – because Ben-Gurion
didn’t finish the job and throw you out in 1948.”
Gaza's Water Shortage is Even More Amusing to Zionism's Hitler Youth
Yet despite Israel’s turn to the
far-right, Britain’s second largest trade union, Unite, has under its British nationalist
General Secretary Sharon Graham, openly embraced support for Israel and Zionism.
Tonight Unite’s Executive Committee
emergency meeting broke up without being able to reach a decision on supporting
the Palestinians and calling for a ceasefire. It would seem that Sharon Graham
has gone into bat for genocide and ethnic cleansing in flagrant violation of
Unite policy that Israel is an Apartheid State.
Not one of our politicians has got
the guts of Matt Carthy of Sinn Fein to call out Israel’s war crimes for what
they are.
Meanwhile there has been a wave of murder of Palestinians in
the West Bank and Jenin is once again being invaded. No doubt more Palestinians
will be murdered by ‘the most moral army
in the world’.
Jewish Currents posted 2 days ago an article
The Settlers Can Do Whatever They Want With
Us by an employee of the Palestinian
Authority testifying to a brutal attack at the hands of Israeli settlers in the
West Bank. Whilst the world’s eyes are on Gaza over 100 innocent Palestinians
have been murdered by settler pogromists, aided and protected by the Israeli army.
Since Hamas’s attacks and Israel’s declaration of war on October 7th,
the already-brutal settler violence against Palestinians living in the West
Bank has escalated significantly. The Israeli army and police already often
allowed settler violence to proceed unchecked; now, as the groups increasingly
collude outright—with, for example, Israel’s far-right government explicitly arming settlers—any pretense of Israel trying to
defend Palestinians from such attacks has all but vanished. “Since the war
started, if you call the police or army to report a settler attack, they mostly
don’t respond,” a resident of the South Hebron Hills explained
to Jewish Currents last week. “We used to film [settler violence];
now, if they see you doing that, they will shoot you. The settlers and soldiers
shoot at people on the highway and injure people in the villages. No one is
safe.”
In the past two-and-a-half weeks, eight entire Palestinian communities
have been forced to abandon their homes, as settlers and the army attack
residents and scramble to grab the land. One such community is the Bedouin
village of Wadi al-Siq. In February, the settler activist Neriya Ben Pazi
founded a nearby outpost—part of a network of outposts he has been building
since 2019, which has provided the infrastructure for expelling Palestinian
shepherds from hundreds of acres of land. In an attempt to stave off this fate
in Wadi al-Siq—and to protect its residents—Mohammad Matar, known as Abu
Hassan, an employee of the Palestinian Authority’s Ramallah-based Commission to
Resist the Wall and Settlements, has been coordinating Israeli and Palestinian
volunteers to support the community. On October 12th, following an attack on
the village the previous evening, settlers rounded up Abu Hassan along with two
other Palestinians, beating them for hours and subjecting them to abuse that
Abu Hassan compared to American soldiers’ torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib
prison, as described in an article published in Haaretz. … Encountering Abu Hassan at length in his own
words testifies to the collaborations between the army, civil administrators,
and settlers in exacting violence on Palestinian residents and solidarity
volunteers, and makes vivid the bewildering terror of facing settlers wearing
army uniforms to conduct their attacks.
Channel 13 journalist Zvi Yehezkeli admits Israel purposefully and premeditatedly murdered the family of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh: “Generally we know the target. For example, today there was a target: the family of an Al Jazeera reporter. In general, we know.” https://t.co/sOJk8uNMMc
According
to Richard Silverstein, a blogger with unparalleled access to Israeli intelligence
sources
Israel has furthered ratcheted up its scorched earth policy toward
Gaza. Not content with murdering 7,000, including over 2,000 children,
destroying 42% of the homes, making 1.4-million homeless refugees, and forcing
one-third of the medical facilities to shut down–it’s commanded the Shin Bet
and IDF to assassinate
six key leaders of Hamas AND their families. That was my report yesterday
based on an informed security source.
Today, the same source told me that the murder of the family
of Al Jazeera bureau chief, Wael Dadouh, was a deliberate assassination
intended specifically to render him a widower and childless. His wife,
daughter, son and grandson died in the attack. The source added: “Dahdouh got his punishment following the
secret Amalek order.” It is
a war crime to murder journalists and an even worse crime to murder innocents
because of their relation to them.
Al Jazeera says family of chief
journalist killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza
“They take revenge on us in
our children?”
he said, kneeling over his son’s bloodied body, still wearing his protective
press vest from that day’s work.
Clearly, the “Amalek directive” I described in yesterday’s post not
only calls for eliminating political figures, but journalists and their
families. When asked what specific act had caused Israel to kill his
family, the source refused to answer because that information was “classified.”
These are
the people that Kid Starver, Sharon Graham and her accomplices on Unite’s
Executive have gone in to bat for. There is good news however. A new poll shows a
drop of 66% in potential Muslim Labour votes, from 71% to just 5% and in the
case of the Tories from 9% to 0.6%. Clearly Muslims don’t see any difference
between Starmer and Sunak and they are right. You couldn’t put a piece of paper
between one group of racists and another.
It is up
to the left to capitalise on this and extend this disenchantment with Kid
Starver into the white working class which Starver Labour is also promising to
betray.
Let
me clear before the Zionist howls become deafening. I want the Israeli state to
disappear, just like the Nazi and Apartheid State of South Africa disappeared.
The Jewish inhabitants of Israel have every right to stay, but no right to stay
in a Jewish Supremacist State.
When
I attended Palestine Expo in July 2019 I spoke at a workshop. For some reason
the Jewish Chronicle singled out my contribution at this two day event when I said
that:
Nazi Germany
in a sense built the state of Israel at a crucial time and you can actually say
that the state of Israel today is Hitler’s bastard offspring because the
ideology that permeates Israel, Jewish racial supremacy, originated in the
fascist states of Europe.
“What is Zionism? Zionism is a movement for Jewish racial supremacy. It counterposes the
needs of a Jewish racial state to the needs of Jews and that was what Haavara
[Agreement] was about.”
Could
anyone say today, as we witness the onslaught on Gaza, that Israel has not
fully lived up to my description?
Clare Daly speaking in
the European Parliament
To paraphrase what
Marx wrote,
people make history but not of their own time or choosing. It is difficult in
any historical period to gauge where we are and where we’re going. The
situation in Palestine today is difficult to read but what is clear is that
Zionism is reaching the end of the road. Even without the Palestinians the
state is doomed.
What does it mean to
be a Jewish state – is being Jewish a nationality or a religion? Israelis are hopelessly
divided on who they are. According to the Pew survey Israel’s
Religiously Divided Society 46% of all Israeli Jews see themselves as
Jewish first and only 35% as Israelis first. It is this cleavage which we have
been witnessing all year in the massive demonstrations in Israel. Although they
have gone away for now, the fault line among the settlers has not gone away. It
is a Jewish state in which there is no agreement on what it means to be Jewish.
But for the Palestinians Israel would long ago have witnessed
a civil war between its religious and secular components. What adds to this
mixture is the rise of the messianic religious right whose deity is the land
that god apparently gave them. Their religiosity is secondary to their
nationalism, hence the occasional divisions between them and the traditional
Haredi Orthodox.
It is hatred of the Palestinians
which keeps Israeli Jews together but most Israelis, like all colonists are too
stupid to understand that.
Gaza is revealing that
Zionism and the Israeli State project has shed the ‘democratic’ façade which it
cloaked itself with for 70 years. When you have a Minister, of the Police no
less, Itamar ben-Gvir who
has chanted ‘Death to the Arabs’ a
Kahanist who believes all Israeli Arabs should be expelled, then we are
entering new waters.
When I grew up Israel
was cited as the only living example of socialism. It was the time of Labour
Zionist governments which, if nothing else, excelled at hasbara (propaganda).
When I became a socialist and questioned how socialism was compatible with
Zionism I was told to go and live on a kibbutz, which was seen as a microcosm
of socialism despite being Jewish only and established on the land of destroyed
Arab villages.
Today no one hears of
kibbutz socialism because the kibbutzim are just another form of Jewish only
settlement. Labour Zionism in Israel is all but dead. It survives only in the
Jewish diaspora. In Britain it played a major part, via the Jewish Labour Movement, in overthrowing
Jeremy Corbyn. Its sole remaining task today is to defame critics of Israel’s
openly genocidal Zionism.
A Mad Israeli for whom
the Palestinians are substitute Nazis
Exploiting
the Holocaust & Jewish Victimhood
The Zionist movement,
which did nothing to help save the Jewish victims of the holocaust and which was
responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jews by blocking their
escape routes and suppressing news of the Holocaust itself, has nonetheless inherited
the memory of the six million who died. The Holocaust dead have become part of
a western imperialist narrative that justifies any manner of brutality.
Not only has Israel inherited
the memory of the Jewish holocaust dead but it has exploited that memory in the
most shameless manner possible. Not only Israel but the German state too. The
German state, which was so reluctant to prosecute Nazis war criminals post-war has
rehabilitated itself by its support for a state that was founded on the very
same principles as Nazi Germany - racial exclusivity.
Indeed it was Germany’s
sordid alliance with Israel, supplying it with military technology and
financial reparations, which paved the way for the inclusion of West Germany in
the NATO cold-war alliance. The reparations went to the military and it is now
proposed that the outstanding debt be used to purchase German submarines.
Israel stole the
reparations from the holocaust survivors whilst at the same time the holocaust survivors
were forced to live
in poverty. Today Israel is waiting
for the remaining holocaust survivors to die so that they can use the money
elsewhere. Whilst holocaust survivors are starved the West Bank settlements are
awash with cash.
The ‘guiding principle’
in Israel is that they must remember
the Holocaust. But for what? To prevent another holocaust? To combat racism?
No. To justify all the terrible crimes that Israel perpetrates against the Palestinians.
There can be no greater affront to the memory of the Jewish dead than to use their
memory to legitimise the very same racism that caused them to die.
Israel has set up a holocaust
memorial museum, Yad Vashem, which is dedicated to doing nothing else but exploiting
their memory. Yad Vashem has refrained, throughout its history, from drawing
any universal conclusions from the holocaust. Indeed it has fought hard against
anyone who might link racism and genocide against other people with the extermination
of the Jews of Europe.
Israelis really do believe that a 17 year siege was not a provocation
When UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres said
that the breakout from the Gaza concentration camp on October 7 and the killing
of Israelis ‘didn’t happen in vacuum,’
that it took place in the context of a 17 year siege of Gaza, all hell broke loose.
Stunning moment when a Sky News journalist programmed only to run through western propaganda talking-points gets schooled by a Palestinian in what it means to be a thinking, feeling human being https://t.co/ocY1lbH24Q
Victoria Derbyshire: You do have to acknowledge the barbarity of the attack on Israelis.. before this can move forward
Hanan Ashrawi(Palestinian politician): "I can't believe I'm hearing the same thing over & over again.. Israel has been doing this to us for decades"#bbclaurakpic.twitter.com/WMl50qkCJT
The idea that Palestinians
living under Israeli bombing and facing pogroms and terror in the West Bank
daily might have a grievance is anathema to the distorters of history at the Yad
Vashem Propaganda Museum. Its Chair Dani Dayan pontificated
that
“The slaughter of Jews by Hamas on October 7th was genocidal
in its intents and immeasurably brutal in its form. …
“Those who seek to ‘understand,’
look for a justifying context, do not condemn the perpetrators, and do not call
for the unconditional and immediate release of the abducted – fail the test.”
Not once
has Yad Vashem condemned Israeli racism or the incarceration of thousands of Palestinians,
many without even the charade of a military trial. When Finance Minister Bezalel
Smotrich called
for the ‘wiping out’ of a Palestinian town Huwara Yad Vashem remained silent. Israeli
racism gets a free pass from Yad Vashem.
Yad Vashem is situated a few hundred metres from the site of
Deir Yassin, a village where a massacre of Palestinians took place in 1948 when
over a hundred Palestinian civilians were butchered in cold blood by Zionist
terror groups. When a guide, Itamar Shapira, referred to this in a talk to
visitors to YV, he was sacked.
How to commit a genocide in the dark in Gaza in four easy steps:
1. Stop foreign reporters gaining access 2. Turn off the lights so no one can show the horror 3. Pick off local journalists one by one 4. Bomb the place to rubble, then send in ground troops bent on revenge https://t.co/oRxp7nblJ5
The Holocaust has imbued Israel with the belief not only that
it can do no wrong but that it is the perpetual and eternal victim. Former Israeli
Prime Minister Golda Meir said
that 'We Can Never Forgive the Arabs for
Making Us Kill Children'. Israel was forced, by those wicked Arabs, to kill
them. Even in their death the Arabs are to blame. Golda Meir, a particularly
vicious racist from the Israeli Labor Party also said
that ‘Peace will come when the Arabs will
love their children more than they hate us.”
Israel has always been at war with the Palestinians
Meir blamed the Palestinians for
forcing Israel’s soldiers to kill their children! She put this down to the fact
that they don’t love them like Israeli parents. This is part and parcel of
settler colonial racism. The colonised don’t have the same human feelings as
the coloniser and therefore what we may consider brutal is acceptable when
dealing with them. There is nothing new in this. It was used to justify slavery
and all manner of barbarism in the British and colonial empires.
Being less than human the Arabs are quite happy to sacrifice
their children for the sake of killing Jews. And this gutter racism is imbibed
by the average Israeli with their mother’s milk.
Last weekend an intimidating mob marched through London chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” - a slogan that is widely understood as a demand for the destruction of Israel. Attempts to pretend otherwise are disingenuous. 1/3
The Holocaust has given Israelis a
sense of righteousness, a form of Manifest Destiny, that is impervious to
reason or rational thought. This is not new. Even as it was exploiting India mercilessly
Rudyard Kipling could write about
the Empire as ‘the white man’s burden.’
Every conqueror in history has pillaged and murdered in the name of God. Did
not Britain colonise India, not to plunder or exploit, but to eradicate the
Hindu practice of Sati (burning the widow on her husband’s funeral pyre).
Very telling when an ex-Top Adviser to Israel's Prime Minister is way more sympathetic to Palestinians than a BBC presenter:

In March 1988 Yehuda
Elkana, a child survivor of Auschwitz and former President and rector of the
Central European University in Budapest spoke of:
a profound existential “Angst” fed by a
particular interpretation of the lessons of the holocaust … that we are the
eternal victim. In this ancient belief… I see the tragic and paradoxical
victory of Hitler. Two nations, metaphorically speaking, emerged from the ashes
of Auschwitz: a minority who assert, “this
must never happen again,” and a
frightened and haunted majority who assert, “this
must never happen to us again.”
Citing Thomas Jefferson’s maxim that democracy and worship of the past are incompatible,
Elkana argued that ‘The very existence of
democracy is endangered when the memory of the dead participates actively in
the democratic process.’ For Zionism the Holocaust was inexplicable, beyond
history. It was a ‘sacred and essentially
incomprehensible event.’ (Elie Wiesel)
Gideon Levy on Israeli
Victimhood
There is the belief that
the Jews are entitled to a state of their own because of the Holocaust. This
idea is itself racist, implying that Jews, uniquely, will not do what all other
ethno-religious states have done historically, which is turn against their religious/national
minorities, often exterminating them as happened with the Armenians in Turkey
and Jews in Eastern Europe. It is rooted in imperialist politics.
The idea of Israel as compensation
for the Holocaust assumes that creating a state based on the same principles of
race as Nazi Germany will be recompense for the losses suffered at the hands of
Hitler. It presupposes that Jews will always be the eternal victim of
anti-Semitism unless they voluntarily separate themselves off from non-Jews.
This very idea of ‘Jewish losses’ in the holocaust assumes that there is such a
thing as a Jewish race that must be built up again.
This is why Zionism
hates ‘assimilation’ and intermarriage above all. As Donald Niewyk wrote
The Zionist critique
of assimilation… rested on a certain conviction that all efforts to blend with
non-Jews must lead unswervingly to deformed Jewish lives.
The comparison of assimilation, marrying out or having
relationships with non-Jews, to the Holocaust is a common Zionist theme.
Avraham Greenbaum of Bar-Ilan University, expressed concern that ‘Jewry’s losses through assimilation were
greater than the losses sustained in the Holocaust’. Because the Zionist
conception of Jews is as a nation race, the Holocaust – the deliberate
extermination of millions of Jews – is compared to the free choice of
individuals to take a non-Jewish partner and abandon their religion.
A survivor of October 7 speaks
The Zionist perception
of humanity is that human beings are divided into races which retain their distinctive
attributes. Zionism is a racial not a religious doctrine. Hence in Israel Jews
can be registered as having no religion but they are Jewish as a nationality.
Zionism is based on
the myth of Jewish nationhood, a transparent nonsense since Jews live in most
countries of the world and speak the native language. Zionism is the mirror
image of anti-Semitism since the anti-Semites too believe that Jews are aliens,
members of another nation/race.
A ‘Jewish’ state based
on an ethno-religious nationalism could not help but be a racist state. That is
why the question that has bedevilled Israel throughout its 75 years is ‘Who is a Jew’. This was the same
‘problem’ that German race scientists had to grapple with.
This question is a
matter of some importance in a state based on Jewish racial supremacy. If
anyone was allowed to convert to Judaism then everyone could join the master
race including the Palestinians, the untermenschen.
That is why the Israeli Conversion Authority automaticallybars
Palestinians from converting to Judaism. There is no religious reason for this,
it is entirely racial. Nothing in Judaism excludes a whole ethnic group from
converting to Judaism but with a state based on race where being Jewish comes
with privileges it is a paramount necessity.
To those of us with a
universalist outlook the State of Israel proves one thing and one thing only. It
is that any group of people, given the
right set of circumstances can become genocidal maniacs and racial
supremacists. Hitler didn’t invent eugenics or racial supremacy nor did it
die with him.
Without the Nazis it
is doubtful whether the Zionist project in Palestine would ever have gained
that critical mass of Jews necessary in order to found a state. That is why the
Zionist movement, alone amongst Jews in the 1930s, welcomed the Nazis to power.
When Jews boycotted Nazi Germany the Zionists rushed to agree a trade pact, Ha'avara,
with them.
Berl Katznelson, a
founder of Mapai and editor of Davar
as well as Ben-Gurion’s effective deputy, saw the rise of Hitler as ‘an opportunity to build and flourish like
none we have ever had or ever will have.’Ben-Gurion was
even more optimistic. ‘The Nazis’ victory
would become “a fertile force for Zionism.”’
Although Zionists
today will deny it their record during the holocaust was shocking. Dr Noah
Lucas, a critical Zionist historian wrote:
‘As the
European holocaust erupted, Ben-Gurion saw it as a decisive opportunity for
Zionism... In conditions of peace,… Zionism could not move the masses of world
Jewry. The forces unleashed by Hitler in all their horror must be harnessed to
the advantage of Zionism. ... By the end of 1942… the struggle for a Jewish
state became the primary concern of the movement.’ (Modern History
of Israel)
It is also the
conclusion of the official biographer of Ben Gurion, Shabtai Teveth. Indeed the
Zionist movement opposed rescuing Jews where the destination wasn’t Palestine
on the grounds that if they went anywhere else they would simply recreate
anti-Semitism.
The Zionist movement
sought to create the ‘new Jew’ in Palestine and they treated the diaspora Jew
with contempt. Joachim Doron described how:
rather than
take up arms against the enemies of the Jews, Zionism attacked the ‘enemy
within’, the Diaspora Jew himself and
subjected him to a hail of criticism…. Indeed a perusal of Zionist sources
reveals criticism so scathing that the
generation that witnessed Auschwitz has difficulty comprehending them. (Classic
Zionism, JIH No. 8)
It is little wonder
that Zionist anti-Semitism morphed into contempt and hatred for non-Jewish
Palestinians. This despite the fact that Ben-Gurion and Yitzhak Ben Zvi, Israel's first Prime Minister
and second President respectively, suggested in a 1918 book The Land of Israel in the Past and the Present,
that the Palestinian peasants were descended from ancient Jewish and Samaritan
farmers,
Hitler’s gift to
humanity is a State that ‘mows
the lawn’ periodically in Gaza by bombing it. The Palestinians are weeds to
be eliminated. The very term ‘mowing the lawn’, Israel’s periodic attacks on Gaza,
demonstrates the genocidal intent of the Israeli state. It is a term which
could have been penned by Nazi politicians. It reduces Palestinians to a pestilential
nuisance.
Israel has serviced
the most repressive states in the world. Israel aided the genocide
in Guatemala where up to 200,000 Mayan Indians were slaughtered. It supported
the death squad regime in El
Salvador. Shipped weapons to the Nicaraguan
Contras and supported
Pinochet in Chile. It armed
the neo-Nazi Junta of Argentina between 1976-1983 when it murdered up to 3,000
Jews and it has armed
the Myanmar regime as it commits genocide. Israel was also the main
arms supplier to the Apartheid regime in South Africa
When Israel’s Defence
Minister Yoav Gallant announced the beginning of a genocidal siege of Gaza, no
water, food or fuel, he described
its inhabitants as human animals. The
comparisons between Palestinians and animals did not begin with Gallant. Menachem
Begin described
Palestinians as beasts on two legs. Chief of Staff Raful Eitan referred
to them as drugged cockroaches. Deputy Defence Minister Eli Dahan said
that “To me, they are like animals, they
aren’t human.”
The attack on October
7th, of which we still know very little, was the catalyst not the
cause of what is happening now in Gaza. The pent up frustrations of an
exterminationist mindset has found expression in the ceaseless and remorseless
bombing of Gaza, a tiny strip of land which has no air defences, no Iron Dome
or protection.
That Biden, Sunak and
Starmer can echo each other in speaking of ‘Israel’s
right to defend itself’ in a situation where there has been a 17 year siege
of Gaza and the death of thousands of Palestinians, testifies to two things.
Firstly Israel’s rulers haven’t lost their sense of humour even if it is of the
morbid kind. Secondly that Orwell was right
to say that political language is designed to obfuscate and cloud thinking and ‘are largely the defence
of the indefensible.
Iyad Hallak, an autistic man was gunned down by the Border Police because his phone was mistaken for a gun - despite his carer screaming for them to stop - the pig who did it was acquitted by Jerusalem District Court
The German press,
which 90 years ago welcomed Hitler to power now welcomes his successors
bombardment of Gaza with equal enthusiasm. Where once crowds marched to the
chant of ‘Death to the Jews’ or ‘Jews to
Palestine’ they now sport blue and white flags instead of the red and black
of the swastika. The chant of Death to
the Jews has been replaced with ‘Death to the Arabs.’
The omens have been
there for some time. In 2018 Israel entrenched into its constitution Jewish racial
supremacy. What had previously been an unwritten code was now formalised into
law. That the Jewish
Nation State Law is accepted by all wings of Zionism is proven by the fact
that the ‘change’ government of Israel under Bennett and Lapid did nothing to
alter this piece of racist legislation.
The mass
demonstrations against Netanyahu this year were designed to defend Jewish
democracy, under threat as it is from a far-right settler/Jewish Orthodox
coalition.
What had previously
been seen as beyond the pale, open Jewish Supremacy, has been legalised and
sanitised in less than 5 years. When Rabbi
Meir Kahane of Kach won a seat
in the Knesset in 1984 all Zionist parties, including Likud, boycotted Kahane
with his views that Arabs must be expelled from Israel. When Kahane spoke in
the Knesset the other members walked out.
Kach was openly called
a Nazi party and outlawed. Kahane was banned from running again for the Knesset,
although opinion polls at the time had him getting up to 9 seats if he had
stood. Slowly but surely in the past decade the Jewish far-right has gained in
strength as the messianic nationalists in the West Bank, in tandem with an
openly corrupt religious orthodoxy (led by Aryeh
Derri – gaoled for corruption) has gained a political stranglehold on
Israeli politics.
It was Netanyahu who
brought open Jewish supremacists into his coalition. Even 5 years ago it was
unimaginable that someone convicted for racial incitement (in Israel it is unheard
of for a Jew to be convicted of racism) could become Police and Security
Minister.
What was unthinkable
has become acceptable. Otzma
Yehudit (Jewish Power) is the largest part of the Religious Zionism bloc,
the third largest party in the Knesset. Meretz (formerly Ratz/Mapam) has
disappeared and the Israeli Labor Party is set to follow it.
Ben Gvir put a picture of mass
murderer Baruch

his living room wall. Gvir has defended Jewish murderers of Arabs as a career.
Now he is the Police Minister.
Israel's Quisling Collaborator on the West Bank Shoots Protestors Against Israeli Genocide
Some indication of
what Israeli politics is now like is the fact that when settlers invaded the
Palestinian village of Burqa in August and shot one man dead, who had confronted
them, unarmed, Gvir praised
the killer and demanded that he be freed. This is the ‘democratic’ Israeli
state today which the Western leaders and media fawn over.
As far as the
prostitute press in the West is concerned, the Palestinian fighters who
attacked Israel and the settlements near Gaza on October 7th did so
without provocation. It came out of the blue. It had no causes and therefore
Israeli democracy has every right to exterminate the population of Gaza.
You may think that I
am exaggerating when I use the term ‘exterminate’, which is usually associated
with Hitler and the Jews but I’m not. What is happening in Gaza today is
extermination and the Western states nod their heads in approval.
Extermination is in
the air. Adam Keller, a veteran Israeli peace activist wrote
about how genocide is now an appropriate term to use about Israel’s actions.
Keller describes how the word ‘extermination’ with all its resonance of
Auschwitz has now entered the language of Israeli politics in the so-called
liberal oasis of Tel Aviv.
This week Roy Sharon, a
"respectable" radio and TV commentator on the main Israeli
broadcasting corporation, spoke very explicitly of his desire to see “a
million dead bodies in Gaza”.
And the streets of Tel Aviv
are flooded with red stickers reading "Exterminate Gaza!". Not
"Destroy!", not "Flatten!" – but clearly and explicitly
"Exterminate Gaza!". "Le-Ha-Sh-Mid!" -
"Exterminate!" Every Jewish Israeli knows from a young age exactly
what this word means. ….
An invasion in
which the army would invade and crush Gaza with all its might would most likely
lead to the killing of the Israeli abductees, among all the many others who
would be killed. This was expressed with characteristic bluntness and
ruthlessness by the extreme right Minister Smotritz: "We need to be cruel, not to think too much of the captives".
Negotiating with Hamas for a prisoner exchange deal is not compatible with a
total war whose goal is to completely destroy Hamas. This was explicitly stated
by Tzachi Hanegbi, head of Israel's National Security Council. The State of
Israel has a choice between two courses that in practice rule out each other -
either an effort to bring back the captives and abductees from Gaza, or a
ground invasion that will multiply the killing and destruction already caused
in the week of bombings.
None of this is
broadcast by the BBC and Sky. They are happy to buy into Israel’s lies, the BBC
especially, because they are funded by the British government through the TV
license.
Avichai Buaron who called for death camps for Palestinians
Amongst
the new Likud MKs this year is Avichai Buaron. A decade ago Buaron penned
an editorial (original story reported by
Udi Aloni in Ynet) in his newsletter, Ma’ayney HaYeshuah [“Wells of
Salvation”], in which he criticised rabbis who refused to involve themselves in
secular politics. The article is
accessible on page 4 of the newsletter pdf via the Wayback Machine).
Buaron, editor of Ma’ayney HaYeshua
Buaron wrote that if
the rabbis refrained from entering politics, it would be impossible to create
“extermination camps” for “Amalekites.” ‘Amalekites’ is a code for “Palestinians,”
referring to the ancient tribe of the Biblical era which, according to the
Bible God commanded the Israelites to wipe out completely. See New
Israeli MK Advocated Death Camps for Palestinians
Tzipi Hotoveli looks
forward to 600,000 dead Palestinians
Earlier this week
Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotoveli openly
compared Britain’s killing of 600,000 German civilians in Dresden and
Hamburg with Israel’s operations in Gaza. Was it worth it to defeat the Nazis
she asked and answering her own question she said ‘yes’. Not once did Piers
Morgan intervene to point out that if anyone bore a resemblance to the Nazis it
was the Israelis.
The Nazis let it not
be forgotten were the foremost military and industrial power in Europe. The
Jews were powerless as are the Palestinians. Never could there be a more sick
comparison between Palestinians and Nazis but to the Zionists Palestinian
opposition to Israel is not on account of what they have suffered and are suffering
but merely because their persecutors happen to be Jewish.

"If the international media is objective, it serves Hamas."

Former Israeli Prime
Minister Yair Lapid has just gone on record as saying
that "If the
international media is objective, it serves Hamas." He is admitting
that the truth hurts Israel! Not that our media would notice as lying comes
second nature to the prostitute press–from the Sun to the Guardian. Which is
why Israelis have been in uproar about the press conference that Yocheved
Lifshitz gave which praised the humane treatment that she had received from
Hamas. Israeli hospitals are refusing to treat
Hamas attackers thus revealing
Israeli doctors no better than SS doctors.
When asked what she meant by the gesture of shaking a Hamas gunman's hand, freed hostage Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, says 'because they treated us very nicely'.
"They seemed really prepared and had concealed it for a long time," she added.
‘Lifshitz press conference panned as
disastrous for Israel, PR win for Hamas’ screamed
the headline in the Times of Israel. “There’s
no doubt that Lifshitz’s statement could have been managed better,” tweeted
Channel 12 reporter Daphna Liel. Dana Weiss calls the press conference a “disaster,” noting the lack of state
intervention in managing her appearances. These
so-called journalists are admitting that Israeli PR is just one long
lie. Instead of being the demons that Israeli hasbara makes them out to be Hamas operatives are human beings. A
blow admittedly to the Israeli psyche.
Israel’s bombing of Al
Ahli hospital should have been an open and shut case. Think of it. Israel has
openly declared it wants northern Gaza to be a free fire zone. It has told
Palestinians to leave for the South and conducted an unremitting bombing
campaign to ‘encourage’ them. Israel has bombed
at least 19 medical and health facilities as well as UNWRA schools, churches
and mosques.
So
when an Israeli missile caused 500+ deaths at a hospital it should have been an
obvious example of mass murder by the Zionists. Yet because of the backlash
Israel had to lie. First they said it was a failed rocket that fell to earth
but it was obvious from the video that this was a subsonic rocket that only
Israel possesses. Then Israel faked
a conversation between 2 Hamas operatives that has been found by Forensic
Architecture to be digitally knitted together. Israel has repeatedlyfaked
and tamped with evidence.
Weapons
expert debunks Israel’s denial of Gaza hospital strike
Has the BBC seriously
investigated yet another Israeli lie?
Have they pointed to the Israeli Army’s history of lies from the murder
of Shireen Abu Akleh last year to the 4 children murdered
playing hide and seek on Gaza’s beach in 2014. Not a bit of it. So I want to
quote from Norman Finkelstein’s article
quoting Noam Chomsky's FATEFUL TRIANGLE
on Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
Israel has a history
of bombing hospitals and clinics. Israel is a terrorist state backed by Western
leaders who approve of such terrorism as long as it is their allies who are
doing it. Bombing medical facilities for Israel is the equivalent of Mother and
Apple Pie for Americans.
Repeatedly, Israel blocked
international relief efforts and prevented food and medical supplies from
reaching victims. Israeli military forces also appear to have gone out of their
way to destroy medical facilities—at least, if one wants to believe Israeli
government claims about “pinpoint accuracy” in bombardment. “International
agencies agree that the civilian death toll would have been considerably higher
had it not been for the medical facilities that the Palestine Liberation
Organization provides for its own people”—and, in fact, for many poor Lebanese—so
it is not surprising that these were a particular target of attack.
In the first bombing in
June, a children’s hospital in the Sabra refugee camp was hit, Lebanese
television reported, and a cameraman said he saw “many children” lying dead
inside the Bourj al Barajneh camp in Beirut, while “fires were burning out of
control at dozens of apartment buildings” and the Gaza Hospital near the camps
was reported hit… On June 12, four bombs fell on a hospital in Aley, severely
damaging it. “There is nothing unusual” in the story told by an operating room
assistant who had lost two hands in the attack; “That the target of the air
strike was a hospital, whether by design or accident, is not unique either,”
William Branigan reports, noting that other hospitals were even more badly
damaged. Fragments of cluster bombs were found on the grounds of an Armenian
sanitarium south of Beirut that was also “heavily damaged during the Israeli
drive.” A neurosurgeon at the Gaza hospital in Beirut “insists that Israeli gunners
deliberately shelled his hospital,” it was reported at the same time. A few
days later, Richard Ben Cramer reported that the Acre Hospital in Beirut was
hit by Israeli shells, and that the hospitals in the camps had again been hit.
“Israeli guns never seem to stop here,” he reported from the Sabra camp, later
to be the scene of a major massacre: “After two weeks of this random thunder,
Sabra is only a place to run through.”…
The Red Cross reported that by
August 6, “there were 130 beds available in west Beirut out of a total of about
1,400.” The American University Hospital was admitting only “those who look
salvageable” on bad days, the staff reported. The Berbir hospital was “just an
underground dormitory with generators churning away to give the few patients
air.” At the Hotel Bristol, hit by an Israeli phosphorus shell, the Red Cross
had set up an underground hospital. “The majority of the doctors and nurses
working in the city have fled.” “Even the Red Cross delegation has been shelled
twice. …
Palestinian academic Shahd Abusalama, who the Zionists attacked as 'antisemitic' at Sheffield Hallam University has had her whole family wiped out by Starmer's Zionist friends
An American nurse working in
Beirut, who was appalled by the “watered-down descriptions in American
newspapers,” reported that Israel “dropped bombs on everything, including
hospitals, orphanages and, in one case, a school bus carrying 35 young
schoolgirls who were traveling on an open road”; she cared for the survivors.
The U.S. Navy Lieut. Commander in charge of removing unexploded ordnance in
Beirut reports that “we found five bombs in an orphanage with about 45 cluster
bombs in the front yard. We were called there after five children were injured
and four killed.” About 3-5% of the shells and bombs failed to go off and are
considered highly dangerous, he said. This particular orphanage, then, must
have been heavily bombed.
Not only hospitals, but also
medical personnel seemed to evoke particular fury. One eyewitness saw a
Palestinian doctor, unconscious, “his hands and neck tied to a post, his face
bloodied and covered with flies.” Palestinian hospitals were closed down, their
staffs arrested, removed to prison camps, and brutalized.
In Sidon, the Israeli army closed
down the Palestinian Red Crescent Hospital. A Dutch nurse working there told a
reporter: “I was in Holland during World War II. I know what fascists are like.
It’s terrible that all these women and children are being killed. Tell that to
the world.” On the same day, the New York Times reported a Jerusalem
news conference in which Imri Ron, a Mapam Knesset member (from Kibbutz Mishmar
Haemek) and paratroop major, “spoke from
a combination of political and military authority” about the “clean fight” the Israeli army had
fought, “taking extraordinary precautions
to save civilians.” …
A Belgian doctor at the closed
Sidon hospital, who “struggled to cope
with wounded men, women and children” (victims of this “clean fight”),
stated that “We had a good operation
here. We were doing surgery and everything” before almost the entire staff
was arrested by the Israeli army. Shipler reported the same events in the New
York Times. He quotes the Israeli Major who is military governor of Sidon
and who closed the hospital because, he said, “It’s obvious it’s not a good hospital.” Therefore, “At 11A.M. today I had all the patients
moved out to a good private hospital, the Labib Medical Center,” not
tainted by a Palestinian connection. … A Canadian and Norwegian doctor, along
with Palestinian doctors, will be taken to Israel for interrogation and
possible imprisonment, the Major added. Shipler visited the “good private hospital,” where no one
seemed “pressed for time” and the director angrily refused to take patients
from the closed hospital, explaining to his guests that “The first case I got from there, she had gangrene all over her body.”
He will take only “good cases.”
Meanwhile one Belgian doctor remained in the closed Palestinian hospital to
take care of 58 patients, some badly wounded, amidst “a stench of filth and rotting flesh.” The director of the “good private hospital” is,
incidentally, the son of a millionaire orange grove owner, who was quite
pleased to be liberated by the Israeli army.
[…]
In his congressional testimony,
[the Canadian surgeon Chris] Giannou reported that he was “a witness to four prisoners who were beaten to death” (reduced to
two by the Times)…. He saw “the entire
male staff’ of the hospitals being taken into custody, leaving patients
unattended, and “savage and indiscriminate beatings” of prisoners with fists,
sticks, ropes with nuts and bolts tied to them. He saw a Palestinian doctor
hung by his hands from a tree and beaten and an Iraqi surgeon “beaten by several guards viciously, and left
to lie in the sun with his face buried in the sand,” all in the presence of
an Israeli Colonel who did nothing about it. He watched prisoners “being rehearsed by an Israeli officer to
shout ‘Long Live Begin’,” others sitting bound in “stifling heat” with “food
and water in short supply.” He was forced to evacuate his hospital and
bring the patients down to the seafront. The Norwegians confirmed his story and
said that they had seen at least 10 people beaten to death, including an old
man who was crazed by the lack of water and intense heat as the prisoners were
forced to sit for hours in the sun; he was beaten by four or five soldiers who
then tied him with his wrists to his ankles and let him lie in the sun until he
died.
[…]
The Norwegian doctor and social
worker told the story of their captivity in a report issued by the Norwegian
Department of Foreign Affairs. Under Israeli captivity, they were forced to
sit, hands tied, for 36 hours without permission to move, while they heard
“screams of pain” from nearby. In an Israeli prison, they were forced to lie
for 48 hours, blindfolded and handcuffed, on the interrogation ground….. One of
the most sadistic Israeli guards told them he was from a kibbutz where an
Austrian girl had been killed by rocket fire. Prisoners were tied with tight
plastic straps with sharp edges, “causing pain.” The Norwegians were given
“preferential treatment.” Arab prisoners were subjected to constant brutality
and degradation.
Dr. Shafiqul-Islam from
Bangladesh, who was on the staff of the Palestinian hospital in Sidon, reports
that he was arrested by the IDF while operating on a 12-year-old Palestinian
boy with severe internal shrapnel injuries. He was not permitted to complete
the operation, but was arrested, beaten mercilessly, forbidden to ask for food
or water for 4 days, denied drugs or dressings for other prisoners on the
grounds that they were “all terrorists,” and so on.
This is the
context to Israel’s bombing of Al Ahli hospital and the lies that Israel tells
which western ‘experts’ are happy to back up.
