So true Owen. The massacre of defenceless civilians, of children, of people going about their lives and celebrating their culture and religion, is exactly what pro-Palestine rallies have been protesting against. You can only see it otherwise if you think some people are less than human and their deaths don't matter. Thank you for your brave work.
The Zionists never stop feeling sorry for themselves, despite themselves not being victims of anything. It is impunity that needs to end and when we start to jail the top fascist Israelis, then is when a Palestinian state will be permanent and free. So there is a lot of work to be done and Im almost at pension age. So the young need to stand up for human rights, international law and value them and keep them safe. International law really does matter. The UN always was about the biggest empires dictating what war must continue and which wars should be stopped. The biggest empires gave themselves permanent places on the security council. It is a system that has aided over 20 genocides. It needs reform but of course, they set it up so as it is incredibly hard to reform. Sound familiar? Yup. Here in the UK and the US have voting systems that make it very hard to change the voting system, by design. It suits the establishment. The commonwealth is a stain on this country's horrible history. The royals are racist and Harry did the only thing he could do. Im not a happy subject and I would prefer to become a citizen, like they are just about everywhere else. This country is pants but I never thought I would see human beings stopping so low in this country as well as in Israel. i have seen a Palestinian hostage raped by a dog. Ive seen a beheaded child and a donkey's head that had landed on its own. I'm feeling so scared for my journalist friends in Gaza. I stay in touch with them every day and despite the harsh reality they swear they will never stop finding and sharing the truth. They are the bravest women in the world. Im worried because they all look after a group of orphans. The adults though are not getting much for themselves. They are an ancient civilisation and people and the children always come first. Whereas in Israel they fill their hearts with hate and their minds with hasbara (propaganda). They have a magical ingredient called Sumud. It is only a Palestinian word and not used by anyone else. It means the strength to resist the oppressor in a constructive way. The Palestinians are the kindest people in the world. But their neighbours are pants! Their arab neighbours with the exception of Yemen have acquiesced to Israel. Hezbollah will not be easy to disarm as nearly every day Israel bombs Lebanon and the next day Syria. These spanners-the Israelis- need putting back in their pens. If they behave as human animals the world must treat them like human animals. They are despicable and take sadism to another level. The whole population has poisoned minds. How do we de-radicalise 6m or so people?
Dale Vince made a valid observation about PM Netanyahu's intervention from Israel about atrocity in Bondi Beach, Australia, where innocent people , and a child, were killed in a targeted anti -semitic attack on Australian Jewish community. DV, in dismissing Netanyahu for attributing rise in anti-semitism in Oz to Australia Govt decision to formally recognise the State of Palestine , joining over 140 other countries , including UK and France, suggesting, rather , that indicted war criminal, Israel PM's rhetoric, military conduct of war on Gaza might, equally , have something to do with phenomenon of anti-Israelism .
Netanyahu spent decades carefully conflating anti-semitism with any criticism of Israel's action and military conduct in Occupied territories of Gaza , West Bank . So no surprise, Netanyahu once again confirmed that the only objection to violence that counts is when it is used against those Israel 'has deemed as ' human' , - an objection which, per se, never extends to Palestinians , Arab, Muslim, their dehumanization is presumed baked-in , 'in the bag' as far as Western media is concerned. Nauseating hypocrisy that has tolerated and allowed one of the most 'abominable humanitarian catastrophes' in modern times, a 21st century Genocide, to be filmed and live streamed by victims. The catastrophe continues.
To pretend this has not impacted how Israel is perceived is of itself a form of complicity in silencing truth .
