The Problem Is Our Susceptibility To The Endless Lies And Deceptions

It was the blocking of all non-violent means for Palestinians to liberate themselves from an ever-deepening, ever more violent occupation that led to the 7 October breakout from Gaza.
That prison break may have been bloody, it may have included many atrocities, but it was entirely predictable.

Chiefly responsible for it are Israel, and the western political and media class, who ignored and smeared Palestinians, human rights groups and solidarity activists, as they now smear an innocent chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
There is a goal here. A very ugly one.

The campaign to delegitimise any solidarity with Palestinians, classifying it as hate, is meant to foment polarisation and escalation.
At its starkest, it requires of us that we side with those who are murdering babies in Gaza.
Israel, aided by western establishments, has intentionally driven supporters of justice for Palestinians, on one side, and much of the Jewish public on the other, into entrenched, oppositional camps.

Each feels victimised.
One side feels frustrated, vilified and angry.
The other feels fearful and unforgiving.
This is not accidental.
It reflects a desire by western establishments to create the very internal divisions, hatred and instability they claim to be trying to avert.

The aim is to ensure that Israel remains an untouchable ally, able to project western power and influence into the oil and gas-rich Middle East.
The problem is not a chant.
The problem is not marches opposing a terror campaign of bombs and the murder of babies.
The problem is our susceptibility to the endless lies and deceptions told by western establishments to promote their narrow interests over our shared humanity.

Zionists are not Jews.
They pretend to be Jews and hide behind the religion of Judaism when they carry out their objectives and atrocities.
Jewish is not a nationality or race.
If you follow the religion of Judaism, or say you follow the religion of Judaism, you can identify as a Jew.
The same applies to other religions – you don’t need to be born in a particular region of the world, nor do you need to be of a particular race.

There Are A Lot Of People Crying And Screaming With Pain.

I have worked in hospitals in Afghanistan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Cambodia, but I have never operated on so many injured children as I am now in the Gaza Strip.
In the burns unit of the European Hospital we now have 78 patients, nearly two-fifths of them children under five.
I have never seen anything like it.

I have been in many war contexts where the type of wounds are the same but the number is huge.
We never leave the hospital.
We work round the clock.
We do operations with minimal anaesthesia.
If we run out, we can’t operate but there is no clear line.

There are a lot of people crying, screaming with pain, but we don’t have enough analgesics.
We keep them for the kids or very severe cases.
Normally we would change dressings on patients with 40% burns with them under sedation and minimise the time by using more attendants.
Now it has to be done with a lot of pain.

We try to keep our heads cool and steady, but for local staff this is their families, friends, their people.
They never want to amputate.
They say: ‘I can’t do it any more’ and so I say: ‘OK I will do it, don’t worry,’ and you can feel the relief.

When I was last in Gaza, the Israeli air force terrorised the population by flying fast and loud and low at night.
All children bed-wetted and had violent nightmares, said a psychologist, and were ‘damaged forever’.
Such is Israel’s exercise of its ‘right to self defence’.

Israeli Planners Knew This Would Happen From The Start.

Just remember when the ‘respectable’ media warn us about fake news that the biggest fake news we’re being exposed to, every day, for weeks on end, is peddled by the ‘respectable’ media: that Israel is ‘eradicating’ Hamas, rather than the truth that it is carrying out ethnic cleansing and a genocide of the Palestinian people.

This week the UN warned that Palestinians will be killed in even bigger numbers than from the bombing by disease brought about by Israel’s denial of food and water, and its destruction of health and public sanitation infrastructure.
This isn’t some tragic side effect of Israel’s policies.
Israeli planners knew this would happen from the start.

While the Zionists try to make the rest of the World believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim.
It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there.
All they want is a central organisation for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states, a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.
( Adolf Hitler )

Their Ultimate Aim Is Power And Control Of The World’s Resources.

Zionists are one of the curses on our planet, posing as Jews and hiding behind the religion of Judaism so they can play being the victim.
Zionists have infiltrated the major Western governments with bribes, blackmail, intimidation and threats.
This is clear to see by the way these governments vehemently support and defend the military state of Israel, and do not criticise or condemn their oppression and illegal occupation of Palestine.
Zionists are of all nationalities and have indoctrinated and brainwashed the simple-minded, genuine Jews.
Their ultimate aim is power and control of the world’s resources.
( Wilfred Soon, 29.10.2023 )

Israel is like a murderer who kills someone, gets the victim’s blood all over his own clothes, and then starts screaming “help, help, I’m bleeding!” And then acts like he is the victim.
Israel’s approach to morality is “let’s not say we did it”.
They think that righteousness is denying the evil they do, but not stopping themselves from doing evil.
They believe that as long as they say they didn’t do it, or call it something else, like “self defence”, then somehow they’re not responsible.
With the full support of the warmongering U.S. and their puppets in the UK and EU, Israel think they are immune no matter what they do.

A Land Without A People For A People Without A Land.

Actually, and this was where I began to feel seriously uncomfortable, some such divine claim underlay not just ‘the occupation’ but the whole idea of a separate state for Jews in Palestine.
Take away the divine warrant for the Holy Land and where were you, and what were you?
Just another land-thief like the Turks or the British, except that in this case you wanted the land without the people.
And the original Zionist slogan, “a land without a people for a people without a land”, disclosed its own negation when I saw the densely populated Arab towns dwelling sullenly under Jewish tutelage.
You want irony? How about Jews becoming colonisers at just the moment when other Europeans had given up on the idea?
( Christopher Hitchens )
