The International Association of Genocide Scholars passed a resolution determining Israel was committing genocide with the support of 86% of its members.
Although the Israel Defense Forces’ use of starvation as yet another means of war against innocent Palestinian non-combatants, including many children, may occasionally be internationally 'condemned' as ‘intolerable’, the atrocities will ultimately be tolerated, if not implicitly encouraged, by those nations with any ability to hinder the Israeli state's crimes against humanity.
Therefore, such condemnations — which are relatively few when considering the seriousness and scope of the atrocities committed — are but paper tigers, if not simply the cruelest frauds.
Yet, significantly, there are many Jews/Semites, both inside and outside Israel, who are vocally condemning their nation’s prolonged and heartless IDF onslaught. ... It indeed must be difficult for decent Jews/Semites with such a strong conscience when they publicly denounce Israel’s atrocities and are then denounced and referred to as “self-hating” by the extreme-Zionism powers, likely in large part to try shaming them into self-censoring.
I've long been, and still am, vocally critical of the clear decades-long maltreatment (to put it mildly) of the general Palestinian populace by the Israeli government and security/defense agencies. But I was pleasantly surprised at reading the cutline below the large photo accompanying a June 26 story (headlined “UK’s largest Jewish group punishes members who broke silence on Gaza genocide”) posted on the Middle East Monitor’s website:
“A young Charedi Orthodox Jew holds a placard during the demonstration. Orthodox Charedi Jews joined many thousands of pro-Palestinian protestors outside Downing Street accusing Israel and Zionists of genocide in Gaza.”
They may see that all lives and needless suffering should matter to us all, yet that’s much easier for a conscience to dismiss when one considers another an innately much lower lifeform.
It's difficult to believe that the brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel was truly unexpected (albeit it may have been deadlier than the hypothetical Israeli insiders had anticipated). Regardless of the increasingly self-compromised mostly-corporatized Western mainstream news-media (unlike genuinely independent news outlets) basically deeming it non-newsworthy, it's no real secret that Israeli officials had been warned in advance by at least one credible source.
Those Israeli lives lost, however tragic, may be considered by the increasingly immorally opportunistic prime minister, and ilk, as a good investment or return — i.e. the future mass cleansing of Palestinians from their land, followed by its annexation along with its coveted natural resources.
The 10/7 assault conveniently enabled the Netanyahu government/IDF to justify or excuse extreme emergency war measures, then force through his/their ‘democratic reforms’ and do who-knows-what-more to Palestine — which so far has included atrocities like ethnically cleansing, systematic food-starving and mass slaughtering its long-time Palestinian non-combatants, especially children.
It's also convenient for other Israeli power interests — particularly with western world governments and mainstream news-media basically falling into line and towing it. And who's going to be able to stop the Israel Defense Forces with their state-of-the-art American-taxpayer-supplied weaponry?
Arab nations and Palestinians cannot trust Israel, especially under Netanyahu, which is not even his real name (it's Mileikowsky), who has repeatedly proven himself to be a snake in the grass. Did he not also, in 2002, implore the United States Congress to invade Iraq because, he alleged, Baghdad was developing weapons of mass destruction? This, of course, was utter BS; however, the brutal damage had largely already been done, mostly to innocent Iraqi men, women and children.
Awesome.
I totally look forward to MORE TALK and NOTHING EVERY BEING DONE ABOUT IT.
How hard is it to be humane and choose the option that results in less death and destruction?
