Israel is metastasizing. Its genocide is a symptom. In order to achieve the war criminal Netanyahu's discriminatory dream of 'a nation state for Jews only', it has been necessary to brand EVERY outsider a 'subhuman animal'. Arabs? Subhuman animals. Christian Zionists? Subhuman animals. Foreign politicians who support genocide? Subhuman animals. Anyone who doesn't support war crimes and atrocities and torture and rape? Subhuman animals. Washington? Britain, France, Germany, even Canada? Subhuman animals. It is, when a nation resolves to never even bother trying to be a good neighbour, and to be at odds with indigenous populations instead, essential to convince your people that it is no-one's fault but everyone else's. Israel has done it, since at least 1948, by drumming into Israelis that they're special. That they matter more than anyone, and everyone, else. That being special gives you special rights, and special privileges, and that genocide and ethnic cleansing and murder and torture and land theft are fine because everyone else is 'a subhuman animal'. Why would 'a nation state of Jews only' - a country for special people - ever allow the existence of 'subhuman animals'? Who, so the propaganda goes, will only ever resent the special people, for being special, so the only solution is to kill them? But. But. In 'a nation state of Jews only', where does the killing stop? If everyone who is ineligible to be part of 'a nation state of Jews only' is a subhuman animal, does that make everyone else disposable? Apparently. Israel is a suppurating black hole, sucking in the land and the people around it, taking, taking, and taking more in a selfish frenzy that pretends to be about protecting itself, but is in fact just greed and a cancerous compulsion to grow at all costs. Netanyahu, may his name live in infamy, has stood in front of tv cameras, and shown the world his 'Greater Israel'. No-one blinked. The greater 'nation state of Jews only', just a bit more genocide away. No subhuman animals allowed. Everyone else despised, looked down upon, held in contempt. Feted when weapons and wealth are offered, ignored when decency is requested. Look, o world. See what evil your weak, your racist, your profoundly corrupt, your snivelling, self serving, simply nasty western governments have encouraged to thrive. See what you, by allowing such governments to exist, have to look forward to.

Well written piece Rod, just when I was recovering from Laura’s your fierce take down of the ‘nation state of Jews only’ nearly blew my head off.

Eretz Yisrael is a British brainchild entirely.

Even Zionists, the utterly evil, genocidal enforcers will be disposed-off in due time ...

Time will tell.

I watched Have I Got News For You (because the stupidest habits are the hardest to break). Hislop went out of his way to support the crucifixion of Gary Linekar, and grossly misrepresent Linekar's actions. It is genuinely disappointing that my foot can't connect with Ian Hislop's nut-sack from here. Although, given the state of him, maybe there's no nut-sack to reach.

Free Palestine.

Free speech.

Fuck Israel.

Forever.

Of course what Israel reveals is the true nature of our own, so-called civilisation, that it's based on exactly the same genocidal actions, with a hastily assembled veneer of civilised, plastered on top. When we look at Zionist Israel, we are looking into a mirror onto our own past and present. Ugly isn't it. Perhaps the only postive thing we can perhaps, get from the obscenity that is Zionist-imperialist Israel, is the courage to face our own society and abolish it, erase it and build something new, something positive and life-affirming. I live in hope.

why argue facts? since when facts matter in political killing, starving people to death or let them die by terrible avoidable diseases?

No one blinked ever about the facts - not when the children of Africa were shown with swollen stomachs, dying in their mothers arms who had no milk left for them, the children of Vietnam burned alive by US-Napalm.

This world has always been cruel, mean, avoiding and self servicing and even more so as the west set out to conquer what is not theirs to begin with.

Afruca was a famine and they are still going on and has nothing to do with the Palestinians who are being purposefully slaughtered by any means availble.and it could all end tomorrow. The food is rhere.waiting and Israel won't let it in. Bad as Hamas is hostages are still alive and would be home.tomottow.if only.Israel would agree to end the.war. All your deflection underscores your complete lack of any reason for.this genocide.

Oh it was a famine, falling out of the sky, I assume?

People are purposefully slaughtered by any means available since the European countries started their colonial conquest 500 years ago.

To narrow this all into the Palestine issue might suit you but I see it as the root cause why it is allowed to happen again and again - because people focus on one thing and conveniently forget about the rest.

What I lack or not is my problem.

What you lack is yours and you got to live with it - be well.

I must say, the whole thing is achingly contrived, and I will bet that the "deceased" merely left the stage to, perhaps, play another role down the line.

We might want to solve for the moneyed psychopaths in control... Just saying.

I did not see a solution here. Like a lot of conspiracy theorists, you get so far and then stop. Why do they do this? "Because they're psychopaths" doesn't cut it. They're not doing it for shits and giggles, so why? And you lump Soros in with the others, which (just personally speaking) I do not.

The human history is a chain of conspiracies, so why you use that CIA term to get against a fellow commentator?

Do you know how Caesar died? conspiracy

Do you know how many CIA programs were run in secrecy and then proclaimed to have shut down only to continue under a different label? conspiracy

Do you know how the Bay of Pigs disaster in Cuba came about? conspiracy behind the back of Kennedy

I could name you 300 more just out of the top of my head, all proven real, documented and only with a lot of money and energy removed from the societal conscious.

I get your frustration about seeing a solution but conspiracy of the international capital is not something to dismiss easily.

Let's not forget, even in international capitalists we have many factions but when it comes to exclude others from what they think it belongs to them, they will unite in an instant.

And to deprive the Palestinians from the natural gas resources that are found in front of their coast...as Karl Marx already said: at a prospect of 300% profit, a capitalist will not back away from murder or any other crime necessary to get it.

@Frank Sailor “Do you know how the Bay of Pigs disaster in Cuba came about? conspiracy behind the back of Kennedy” - and didn’t Kennedy learn from his mistake of trusting CIA and from then on he’s assigning a special team whose official job was to criticize his solutions without fear? So it all comes to an individual decision to not play the shit ball.

You cite Marx like panacea against all wrongs, but didn’t Marx admit before dying that he/Engels underestimated capitalism and it has a lot of potential?

I wonder where I can find that word of K. Marx? The people who wanted to prove him wrong a legion but I could never find one who did really.

There are so many stories told about K. Marx & Jenny, especially by those who did not mean well in the west - surprising? To me not really.

And Kennedy found out at Grassy Knoll not to play ball with his own class,

if you overstep your boundaries, you are not one of them anymore, in an instant. And just before he & Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (the poor girl from a poor family) were such darlings of the right press…life really seems unfair now and then, don’t you agree?

As it was announced that the documents of the murder come free, I wondered if they were rewritten by now and the CIA found out that the russian communists did it - oh wait, that story did fly with Oswald already :-)

Are you "mansplaining" me Frank? :-) Marx saw capitalism as necessary, among other things. One would hardly see a parasite as "necessary." Aren't you forgetting I studied Marx not in the West, hence the prism on him/his works was more than fair to Marx. I heard nothing negative about Jenny Marx - this poor, long-suffering woman! Wasn't Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy an aristocrat? Kennedys were admired by being American Royalty, not the peasants. For peasants - it's Jimmy Carter - "poor peanut growing farmer." Re.: newly released info about JFK murder - actually the only interesting info was about Underhill, the CIA agent, badly shaken after Dallas, who told his friends that CIA did it, was afraid for his life.... and was found dead 6 months later, shot behind his left ear with a gun in his left hand, curious while he was right-handed. Since Zapruder's film, only a lazy/stupid man thought Oswald killed JFK. So nope - no revelations there.

Frank Sailor's avatar

We both studied Marx not in the west ;-)

So we both should agree on what he meant when he named capitalism as necessary (he even welcomed the french revolution as a revolution of capitalism because it destroyed feudalism for real ) on the step to communism because of the development of the middle of production and the accompanying infrastructure plus the forging of a working class.

By the way, what's "mansplaining" - you know I am too old for that :-)

For the rest I totally agree with you, as usual.

Hope you are doing great, by the way.

Really? You struggle grasping that psychopaths - Ones incapable of feeling caring, compassion, love, or empathy for Others - will do all They can to get the most money for the power over Others which They lust - LUST!!! - for? (Money = power...)

And indeed They do toy with Us, and use Us for servants, slaves, sex toys, and sacrifices.

And I might suggest You contemplate the idea that everything We see performed on the cave wall (Our screens) is scripted, the actors (including Soros) cast, and directed from the wings by the hidden hand, the Ones truly in control here, using the performance to cast sandy hooks into Our emotions and dragging Us where They want Us.

And that the performance is to fulfill agendas.

Well, money offers the power, yes. And money systems will promote psychopaths who lust for power over Others.

And so My work is to obsolete that tool and free Humanity from the bondage to the moneyed psychopaths presently in control on Our planet.
