'...2 strategic objectives that Netanyahu’s government intends to achieve through the current military operation: The first is the objective of freeing the Gaza Strip from the entire Palestinian population, civilians, and terrorists, also handing over this territory to the state of Israel and taking over the entire coastal strip. The second objective is to finally be able for Israel to claim full rights over the Palestinian territorial waters where the Gaza Marine natural gas fields are located...'

HEZBOLLAH LEADER HASSAN NASRALLAH ON GAZA AND LEBANON
The rapid entry of the Lebanese front into the battle caused the Israeli enemy to lose the element of surprise. The most important message of the resistance in Lebanon on October 8 and 9 is that it is a strong, courageous resistance and is not deterred or has any calculations in defending its country. What happened yesterday were two aggressions: an attack on Sheikh Saleh and his companions, and an attack on the southern suburbs. Until now, we are fighting on the front with precise calculations, so we are paying a high price in the lives of our youth. If the enemy launches a war on Lebanon, our fighting will be without ceilings, limits, rules and controls. Whoever thinks about war with us will regret it, as war with us is very, very expensive. The assassination of Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri is a dangerous crime that will not remain without response and punishment. Between us and you is the field, the days and the nights.
For three months we have seen sacrifices, displacements in Gaza and southern Lebanon and elsewhere. When we see the volume of the positive consequences of all these sacrifices we realize the volume of the sacrifices themselves. Of the blessings of the Al-Aqsa Flood: destroying the humane image the Americans worked on creating of themselves in the Arab region; today, the war on Gaza is an American one, the bombs are American, the decision is American. The world knows this today.” There is no place for any settler in Palestine. The one carrying a British citizenship will be told to return to Britain, the French to France, the American to the US. Palestine, from the river to the sea, is for the Palestinian people only! Israel has fallen morally, legally, and humanely, and in the eyes of all peoples of the world, it is a killer of children and women, displaces people, and is responsible for the largest genocide of the current century.
I summarize what American Israeli officials and generals, and even in the Arab and Islamic world, are saying: 1- the return of the Palestinian question after it had been forgotten. The whole world is looking for a two-state solution. 2- the October 7 operation proved that Israeli control is over in Gaza and the West Bank. The operation of October 7 made the Israelis understand that they are facing a people who will never forget their cause, that this new generation of the internet will not forget either. 3- despite the bombings and massacres, resistance is strengthened. Its image is reinforced among the Palestinian people. They thought the people would turn against the resistance but no. Especially Hamas which benefits from the highest rate of support in history. 4- the image of Israel is destroyed in the world. Despite the support of the American, Western and even Arab media which did everything to show Israel as a democratic model. Israel today the murderer of women's children, who starves and deports an entire people, in the eyes of the whole world. Even the American youth controlled by the Zionist media, the blood of women and children has its effect and that of course thanks to the power of social networks which have turned against their creators. +50% of American youth want to dismantle Israel and return land to the Palestinians. 5- the normalization of Israel and its relations with the world is over. 6- the international scene, the international laws that we have been asked to respect. 153 countries around the world demand a ceasefire from the United Nations and Israel and only 10 countries refuse. Who do not respect international laws? 7- The marginalization of Israeli pouvoir qui a to habitude de terroriser his voices for their abdiquent. This strategy does not have any functions until October 7th and then comes to the front of the country in Lebanon and Yemen. 8- The end of the story of the Israeli military force. After 7 October, this is the end. 9- The end of the Israeli army’s home. There is an essay on the strength of Saleh Al Arouri who has been given permission. 10- The end of the force is Israeli. Me on a petit territoire as gas. They are different. 11- The final confiance of Israeli people in their country and their neighbors. This is where people live in Israel. Israël does not see him and if Israel leaves him alone. The place where the land is is a chimney that will help you live in Israel. The civil servants are succèdent in Liban, Yemen, Irak, Syria and while these people exist in the country. Israel is an artistic country, its people are a national citizen, and their parents have entered previously. Here you don't have a future, from the river to the sea the land of Palestine is for the Palestinian people, and the Palestinian people only. You want to stay here? That's very difficult. If you want to be secure, you want to feel secure, you have an American passport go back to the United States, You have a British passport go back to the UK. -Sulaiman Ahmed

'I am writing to flag a truly important document that should be widely circulated and read carefully by anyone interested in the ongoing Gaza War. Specifically, I am referring to the 84-page “application” that South Africa filed with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 29 December 2023, accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza...'
'It honestly blows my mind that there are still people adamantly supporting Israel after all this. After all the people they’ve killed. After all the lies they’ve been caught in. After all their comments endorsing genocide and ethnic cleansing, and all their actions showing they mean it. If you’re still supporting Israel at this point, you’re just telling everyone you don’t care about truth or morality. You’re announcing to the world that you care only about your weird ideological agendas and geopolitical control. You are publicly proclaiming that you are a dogshit human being. That you have lived on this earth all these years without arriving at any level of emotional or psychological maturity. That you have wasted your life on this planet...'
Facts are destroying the fiction
'...Today Hizbullah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has given another speech. He emphasized the successes of the campaign which Hizbullah started on October 8 2023, a day after Hamas' latest revolt against Israel, along the Lebanese border with Palestine. On the longer than 100 kilometer front all Israeli military bases have been targeted, as well as its settlements, with a total of 670 operations. 48 border posts have been targeted 495 times as well as 50 posts behind the borderline. 17 settlements, where Israeli soldiers went into hiding, have also been attacked. Technical surveillance equipment with a cost above a $100 million has been destroyed. The resistance published 90 videos and photos that showed the destruction of Israeli tanks and other vehicles. Israeli media is silent about the resistance successes. The eight Israeli hospitals nearest to the border have taken in some 2,000 wounded soldiers. 230-300,000 settlers have fled from northern Israel. 120,000 Israeli soldiers have to stay in the north to secure the border.
Nasrallah also empathized that the various resistance members can bring advantages to their respected homelands (Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen). Since 1948 it was Israel that displaced Lebanese people and built security zones on Lebanese land. Today the settlers are fleeing and Israel is building a security belt on its side of the border. Should the situation in Lebanon escalate it will have a chance to regain all its land that Israel still occupies. In Iraq the resistance now has a chance to again kick the U.S. out. The U.S. claims to be there to fight ISIS but ISIS is a U.S. product. In Yemen the resistance is winning international applause and respect for its Ansar Islam (Houthi) government. All resistance countries are in danger of Israeli attacks should the resistance in Gaza be defeated. Helping Gaza is thereby in the interest of all those countries.
Nasrallah closed his speech with the typical greetings to the martyrs and their families. All together Nasrallah was in a good mood. He seems to think that Israel is currently deterred from attacking Lebanon. But even if it were to attack Lebanon Hizbullah would use it as an opportunity to better its position.'

'How absurd! U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is “frenetically” crisscrossing the Middle East “warning” that the conflict is escalating to engulf the region. Arsonist Washington is shouting ‘Fire’ in a region it is blowing up. This is while Washington is fueling Israel’s non-stop genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. And while the United States and Israel assassinate top Hamas, Hezbollah and Iranian commanders in Lebanon and Iraq. This is while the United States blatantly blocks calls at the United Nations for a ceasefire, and while it dispatches warships and warplanes to the region. Blinken is touring nine countries this week including Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Israel. It’s his fifth trip to the region since October 7...'

Hundreds of millions of people across the world have been deeply moved by the atrocity of the Israeli war on Palestine. Millions have attended marches and protests, many of them participating in such demonstrations for the first time in their lives. Social media, in almost all the world’s languages, is saturated with memes and posts about this or that terrible action. Some people focus on the Israeli attack on Palestinian children, others on the illegal targeting of Gaza’s health infrastructure, and yet others point to the annihilation of at least four hundred families (more than ten people in each family killed). The focus of attention does not seem to be diminishing. Holidays in December went by, but the intensity of the protests and the posts remained steady. No attempt by social media companies to turn the algorithm against the Palestinians succeeded, no attempt to ban the protests—even the display of the Palestinian flag—worked. Accusations of antisemitism fell flat and demands for the condemnation of Hamas were dismissed. This is a new mood, a new kind of attitude toward the Palestinian struggle.
Never before in the 75 previous years has there been such sustained attention to the cause of the Palestinians and of Israeli brutality. Israel has launched eight bombing campaigns on Gaza since 2006. . And Israel has built up an entire illegal structure against the Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank (an apartheid wall, settlements, checkpoints). When Palestinians have tried to resist—whether through civic action or armed struggle—they have faced immense violence from the Israeli military. Ever since social media has been available, images from Palestine have circulated, including of the use of white phosphorus against civilians in Gaza, and including the arrest and murder of Palestinian children across the Occupied Palestine Territory. But none of the previous acts of violence evoked the kind of response from around the world as this violence that began in October 2023.
Genocide
The Israeli armed violence against Gaza since October has been in a qualitatively different form than any previous violence. The bombardment of Gaza was vicious, with Israeli aircraft hitting residential areas with no concern for civilian life. The number of dead increased day by day at a rate not seen before. Then, when Israeli ground forces entered Gaza, they effected an illegal mass eviction of the Palestinian civilians from their homes and pushed them further and further south toward the border with Egypt. The Israelis violated their own promises of “safe zones,” hitting areas more densely packed than before because of the internal displacement. It was this scale of violence that provoked an early use of the term “genocide” to describe what was happening in Gaza. By early January, more than 1 percent of the entire Palestinian population in Gaza had been killed, while over 95 percent had been displaced. The kind of violence used here was not seen in any contemporary war, neither in Iraq (where the U.S. disregarded most laws of war) nor in Ukraine (where the death toll of civilians is far smaller despite the war now lasting two years).
The momentum of mass protest pushed the government of South Africa to file a dispute in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel for the crime of genocide. Both countries are parties to the 1948 Convention Against Genocide, and the ICJ is the venue for dispute settlements. The 84-page filing by the South African government documents many of the atrocities perpetrated by Israel, and also, crucially, the words of Israeli high officials. Nine pages of this text (pp. 59 to 67) list the Israeli officials in their own words, many of them calling for a “Second Nakba” or a “Gaza Nakba,” a use of the term “Nakba” or Catastrophe that refers to the 1948 Nakba of the Palestinians from their homes that led to the creation of the State of Israel. These words are chilling, and they have been widely circulated since October. Racist language about “monsters,” “animals,” and the “jungle” shape the speeches and statements by these Israeli government officials. Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on October 9, 2023, that his forces are “imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly.” This, along with the character of the Israeli military strikes, is sufficient as a benchmark for the accusation of genocide. At the hearing at the ICJ, Israel was unable to respond credibly to the South African complaint.
It is a combination of the images from Gaza and the words of these Israeli high officials—backed fully by the United States government and many of the governments of European states—that provoked the sustained anger and desolation that has driven these mass protests.
Legitimacy
Over the course of the past two years—from the start of the war in Ukraine until now—there has been a rapid decline in the legitimacy of the West, notably the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), led by the United States. These wars are not the cause of this drop in legitimacy, but they have accelerated the decline in the legitimacy of the NATO countries, particularly in the Global South.
Since the start of the Third Great Depression in 2007, the Global North has slowly lost its control over the world economy, over technology and science, and over raw materials. Billionaires in the Global North deepened their “tax strike” and withdrew a large share of social wealth into tax havens and into unproductive financial investments. This left the Global North with few instruments to maintain economic power, including by making investments in the Global South. That role was slowly taken up by China, which has been recycling global profits into infrastructural projects across the world. Rather than contest China’s Belt and Road Initiative, for instance, through its own commercial and economic project, the Global North has sought to militarize its response with massive spending (three-quarters of global military spending is by the NATO states). The Global North has used Ukraine and Taiwan as levers to provoke Russia and China into military conflicts so as to ‘weaken’ them rather than contest growing Russian energy power and Chinese industrial and technological power through trade and development.
It is clear to the majority of people in the world that it is the Global North that has failed to address the crises in the world, whether the climate crisis or the consequences of the Third Great Depression. It has tried to substitute a language of euphemism for reality, using terms such as “democracy promotion,” “sustainable development,” “humanitarian pause,” and—from UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron and Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock—the ridiculous formulation of a “sustainable ceasefire.” Empty words are no substitute for real actions. To speak of a “sustainable ceasefire” while arming Israel or to speak of “democracy promotion” while backing anti-democratic governments now defines the hypocrisy of the Global North’s political class.
The Israelis say that they will continue this genocidal war for as long as it takes. As each day goes by of this war, the legitimacy of Israel deteriorates. But behind that violence itself is the much deeper end of the legitimacy of the NATO project, whose sanctimonies sound like nails being dragged across a bloodied chalkboard. Israel’s War on Palestine and the Global Upsurge Against It
The recent attacks on Yemen by US and British military forces are not about protecting international shipping lanes. Nor are they about protecting imperial troops in lands where they are not wanted and don’t belong. Simply put, they are about supporting Israel’s murderous slaughter in Gaza and maintaining US imperialism’s faltering control of the region the empire calls the middle east. If Washington and London were truly interested in protecting the shipping lanes in question, they would demand a ceasefire in Gaza and work towards implementing it. If Washington was interested in protecting US forces, it would remove those forces from Iraq, Syria and every other nation they are not welcome...

'The psychological concept of “projection” indicates the process when a person attributes (projects) one of his own personal psychotic characteristics onto another person or onto a group of people in order to justify his own psychotic behaviors towards others. For example, a sadistic person would project his sadistic characteristics onto others in order to justify his own aggression against others. Or he would project his own inferiority complex onto others in order to promote his own self-aggrandizement.
This “projection” is a very prominent Israeli characteristic exhibited dominantly by all Israeli officials in their statements and behaviors. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is a master “projector.” On October 7th. he had himself videotaped calling American president, Biden, with a smirk on his face while looking at the camera, claiming that Hamas, Palestinian freedom fighters, have attacked innocent Israeli citizens, raped young Israeli girls, and beheaded and burnt Israeli infants. Netanyahu here, was trying to demonize the Palestinian freedom fighters to justify the genocidal, the ethnic-cleansing, and the total destruction of the Gaza Strip the Israeli terrorist army is about to perpetrate, as it has been doing for the last 75 years...'

'...This attack would NEVER have happened if I was President, not even a chance. Just like the Iranian-backed Hamas attack on Israel would never have happened, the war in Ukraine would never have happened, and we would right now have peace throughout the World. Instead, we are on the brink of World War 3.'
This is how the psychopathic liar now fights the demented on behalf of the genocidalists to trigger all-fronts war in the Middle East...
'...Now let's take a step back to take a look at the larger picture. The current escalation in the Middle East is happening because the Zionist attempt to ethnically cleanse Gaza, the West Bank and south Lebanon. The U.S active support for this aim has led to more U.S. wars in Yemen, Iraq and now in Syria. While the U.S. has claimed that it did not want an all out war in the Middle East it has done its best to further one. The dystopian decision by the U.S. and its European vassals to deny all support for UNRWA as response for the International Court of Justice decision against Israel's genocide of Palestinians was a further escalation. That a dozen or less of the 30,000 UNRWA worker were probably involved in the October 7 events was known for weeks. To roll this out just after the ICJ dictum happened is a clear act of revenge against the whole UN system. This is the rule based order, where the U.S. makes and discards all rules at will, fighting against long established international and humanitarian law...'

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says "The families in Gaza whose survival depends on deliveries of aid from Israel are just like our families. They are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, who want to earn a decent living, send their kids to school, and have a normal life. We must not lose sight of that." In its latest package, the US provided $14.5bn in military aid for Israel and continues to suspend UNRWA funding.

UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls
GENEVA (19 February 2024) – UN experts* today expressed alarm over credible allegations of egregious human rights violations to which Palestinian women and girls continue to be subjected in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Palestinian women and girls have reportedly been arbitrarily executed in Gaza, often together with family members, including their children, according to information received. “We are shocked by reports of the deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge, or while fleeing. Some of them were reportedly holding white pieces of cloth when they were killed by the Israeli army or affiliated forces,” the experts said. The experts expressed serious concern about the arbitrary detention of hundreds of Palestinian women and girls, including human rights defenders, journalists and humanitarian workers, in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October. Many have reportedly been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, denied menstruation pads, food and medicine, and severely beaten. On at least one occasion, Palestinian women detained in Gaza were allegedly kept in a cage in the rain and cold, without food. “We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have also been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence,” the experts said. They also noted that photos of female detainees in degrading circumstances were also reportedly taken by the Israeli army and uploaded online. The experts expressed concern that an unknown number of Palestinian women and children, including girls, have reportedly gone missing after contact with the Israeli army in Gaza. “There are disturbing reports of at least one female infant forcibly transferred by the Israeli army into Israel, and of children being separated from their parents, whose whereabouts remain unknown,” they said. “We remind the Government of Israel of its obligation to uphold the right to life, safety, health, and dignity of Palestinian women and girls and to ensure that no one is subjected to violence, torture, ill-treatment or degrading treatment, including sexual violence,” the experts said. They called for an independent, impartial, prompt, thorough and effective investigation into the allegations and for Israel to cooperate with such investigations. “Taken together, these alleged acts may constitute grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, and amount to serious crimes under international criminal law that could be prosecuted under the Rome Statute,” the experts said. “Those responsible for these apparent crimes must be held accountable and victims and their families are entitled to full redress and justice,” they added.

I came to cast fire upon the earth
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." He also said to the multitudes, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, `A shower is coming'; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat'; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? "And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper. -Luke 12:49-59 Sono venuto a portare il fuoco sulla terra
Sono venuto a portare il fuoco sulla terra; e come vorrei che fosse già acceso! C'è un battesimo che devo ricevere; e come sono angosciato, finché non sia compiuto! Pensate che io sia venuto a portare la pace sulla terra? No, vi dico, ma la divisione. D'ora innanzi in una casa di cinque persone si divideranno tre contro due e due contro tre; padre contro figlio e figlio contro padre, madre contro figlia e figlia contro madre, suocera contro nuora e nuora contro suocera. Diceva ancora alle folle: 'Quando vedete una nuvola salire da ponente, subito dite: Viene la pioggia, e così accade. E quando soffia lo scirocco, dite: Ci sarà caldo, e così accade. Ipocriti! Sapete giudicare l'aspetto della terra e del cielo, come mai questo tempo non sapete giudicarlo? E perché non giudicate da voi stessi ciò che è giusto? Quando vai con il tuo avversario davanti al magistrato, lungo la strada procura di accordarti con lui, perché non ti trascini davanti al giudice e il giudice ti consegni all'esecutore e questi ti getti in prigione. Ti assicuro, non ne uscirai finché non avrai pagato fino all'ultimo spicciolo.' -Luca 12:49-59
Are you equipped for the battle?
Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all Christians everywhere. -Ephesians 6:13-18
Sei equipaggiato per la battaglia?
Prendete dunque l'armatura di Dio, perché possiate resistere nel giorno cattivo e restare saldi dopo aver superato tutte le prove. State saldi, dunque: attorno ai fianchi, la verità; indosso, la corazza della giustizia; i piedi, calzati e pronti a propagare il vangelo della pace. Afferrate sempre lo scudo della fede, con il quale potrete spegnere tutte le frecce infuocate del Maligno; prendete anche l'elmo della salvezza e la spada dello Spirito, che è la parola di Dio. In ogni occasione, pregate con ogni sorta di preghiere e di suppliche nello Spirito, e a questo scopo vegliate con ogni perseveranza e supplica per tutti i santi. -Efesini 6:13-18

'As I previously wrote, the Israeli/American intention is to expand the war against Hamas to Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The expansion has begun. The latest news is that Israel has struck deep into Lebanon: “War Expands With Massive Israeli Airstrikes 60km Deep Into Lebanon,”
The Arabs, likely restrained by Putin, have once again sat on their butts while Israel picks them off one by one. Only the Houthis but not a single Arab or Muslim country came to Hamas’ help. Consequently, the Arabs sat sucking their thumbs while Gaza and Hamas were destroyed. The arabs accepted Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. Evil prevails when it is left unopposed.
If Hezbollah, Syria, the Iraqi militias, and Iran had joined Hamas’ attack, Israel today would not exist. Having missed their chance, they will now be knocked off one at a time by Israel and Washington.
Already before Israel is finished with Palestine, Israel has attacked with missiles and jet fighters deep into Lebanon.
It appears that the Israeli-Washington strategy is to attack Lebanese cities to set off civil war between the Lebanese army and the Hezbollah militia so that Israel can take advantage of civil war in Lebanon to drive Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon and take possession of the water resources that Israel covets.
When Hezbollah is finished, Washington and Israel will wipe out the Iraqi militias and attack Syria, a section of which containing the oil fields Washington already occupies.
The Russians left the liberation of Syria unfinished. Syria has the Russian air defense system but apparently is not permitted to use it against Washington and Israel.
Once Iraqi militias and Syria are out of the picture, Iran, sitting there on its huge number of missiles, doing nothing, will be next. When Iran falls, the CIA’s Jihadists will be released into the Russian Federation, Central Asia, and China’a troublesome province.
The inaction of Putin, China, and Iran has steeled the American neoconservatives in their agenda of American hegemony. As Putin, XI, and Iran seem determined to sit out conflicts that not only affect them but are directed against them, Washington will continue to run over red lines until a war is forced.
Putin has been deceived, betrayed, demonized, and given the West’s cold shoulder for two decades, and he still wants to negotiate with those who have thrashed him?
Negotiation with a government that has proven it doesn’t keep the agreements is a form of reality denial.
As the evidence indicates, the Western world is in moral and social collapse, so its destruction will be no loss. The question is whether the values the Christian West once stood for will find expression elsewhere.
The expansion of the Ukraine conflict also continues.

Putin needs to use the required force to bring this conflict to an end or he could find Russia fighting in Ukraine, Syria, and having to deal with jihadists inside the Russian Federation.

It seems that Putin is going to sit on his hands in Ukraine until he has to fight a real war. Putin doesn’t seem to realize that his reticence is creating a big war out of a small conflict.
MINSK (Sputnik) – About 32,000 NATO soldiers, over 1,000 armored vehicles, 235 airplanes and helicopters are deployed near Russia’s and Belarus’s borders, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday.
Are Putin and Xi incapable of understanding that no Western government cares about the truth and that they are targets pure and simple?'

Hind Rajab
at work.
It is imperative to end the horror in Gaza. For nearly 12 agonizing days, many Palestinians, as well as Arabs, have been haunted by a single question: Where is little Hind Ragab? Tragically, the answer has surfaced in the most harrowing of ways. Left to perish alongside members of her family, despite her desperate pleas for help, Hind's final moments were marred by fear and abandonment. Injured and terrified of the encroaching darkness, she cried out for adults to rescue her from the looming threat of Israeli tanks. However, her calls for aid went unanswered, sealing her fate. Even the valiant efforts of paramedic rescuers, who tirelessly sought permission from the Israeli Army to evacuate her to safety, ended in tragedy as they too became victims of the Israeli army’s brutality.

'...There is no such thing as genocide in Gaza. The people of GAZA would have NOTHING if it wasn’t for the generosity of Israel...'
US airman Aaron Bushnell, who recently and quite literally chose his own way to burn, asked this question, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' To this one might add, 'What would I do if I was alive during the time of the Antichrist?'
C. S. Lewis made a poignant observation about this in his 1944 observations which were published as a book, Mere Christianity. "I wonder whether people who ask God to intervene openly and directly in our world quite realise what it will be like. That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it or not."
And many will play their sure thing and cry out on that day, Lord, Lord! And we have been told what his response will be, depending on who we have followed, and what we have done. Exceptionalism. The daughter of Pride and delusion. A sure fire way to reorder our priorities, to achieve the maximum amount of damage and regret. Oh please, Jesse. Don't start talking now about the end of time. That's just a fairy tale. And one might retort, 'Point taken. But what about the end of your time?' Timing aside, that seems like a sure thing. -Jesse Exceptionalism: Daughter of Pride and Delusion

'...The Zionist are deliberately starving Palestinians. But this is even worse. The killing today was not by chance. I do not believe that it was unintentional. The food deliveries were under Israeli controls. So were the troops who killed the Palestinians who tried to collect the 'aid'. This is not the first time that a food convoy or aid distribution has been used by the Zionists to attract and then kill starving Palestinians. This is an extremely brutal and cynical way to genocide them.' 'You have already taken a side on Israel-Palestine. Whether you know it or not. Whether you admit it or not. You have either consciously chosen to side with the people who are being continually massacred by Israel, or you have consciously chosen to side with Israel, or you have sided with Israel by being “neutral”, or you have sided with Israel by being indifferent. As Desmond Tutu said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
The powerful oppressors are more than happy for you to be “neutral”. The ones who are already in control want as little scrutiny as possible. From their position the fewer people who are looking them and evaluating whether their actions are right or wrong, the better. Your neutrality just means they get to keep doing what they want to do. It’s perfectly okay not to have an opinion about everything. It’s fine not to take a position on every political issue that comes across your screen. Most people have way too many opinions, and most of them are about silly and unworthy things. The onslaught that is happening in Gaza is not one such instance, though. Taking a stand against genocide is what having opinions on things is for. Opposing mass-scale human butchery and ethnic cleansing is the fundamental, bare-minimum position that all other political positions should follow from. If you can’t take a stand against that, what are you even doing here? How have you been spending your brief time on this planet? How have you managed to make it to this point in life without maturing to the barest minimum standard possible?
You might think Israel-Palestine is too complicated for you to take a stand on. It isn’t. It’s very simple. Many of the small specific details are complex, but the overall reality they form is simple: an apartheid state has spent five months butchering and starving the population it has marginalized in a way that advances that state’s longstanding political agendas of ethnically cleansing that population from the land.
You might think you’re too cool or too evolved or too smart to take a side on Israel-Palestine. You are not. You have already taken a side, whether you admit it or not. You might think Israel-Palestine has too many gray areas and uncertainties for you to legitimately take a side. It does not. The endless stream of footage of skeletal bodies and children ripped apart by military explosives over the last five months makes it very clear that this issue has a right side and a wrong side, and you are already standing on one of them. By all means refuse to take sides on other issues; not taking a side is entirely legitimate when it comes to most issues people are wasting their breath bickering about. But not this one. When it comes to Gaza, reality demands a position from you. That doesn’t mean you have to side with the Palestinians if you don’t want to. You are a sovereign human being; it’s up to you. But don’t kid yourself about being neutral. At least be real with yourself that by refusing to pick a position you are licking the boot of a nuclear-armed ethnostate that is backed by the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. If you can’t be real about anything else, at least be real about that.' -Caitlin Johnstone
