Laura - once again, you go where other commentators fear to tread. It's almost as if you are a fly on the wall when the fascist Israeli cabinet discusses the unsavoury prospect of peace.

Laura "goes where others fear to tread"? But like 99.9%+ of "alternative" media voices and comment-posters she is for example (correct me if I'm wrong) deafeningly silent for example on Oct 7 + Sept 11 being allowed to happen.

And despite Covid's globally devastating and millions-killing Orwellian impacts she/you all whisper not a single solitary syllable about any US-based biowarfare labs - let alone toxic Fort Detrick/USAMRIID in Maryland and its notorious chronically leak-prone, safety-violating and coronavirus-manipulating track-record.

And she and her followers and peers show zero signs of having done any (QAnon-free! ) deep, exhaustive, non-conspiracy-nut research into any of the above.

Dare to watch this for starters: America's top SARS/coronavirus expert Prof Ralph Baric speaking in a very, er, COVered up TV interview bragging with colleagues about how easy it is to gene-manipulate viruses's Gain of Function "without leaving a trace":

https://youtu.be/4Kt5nHJyBMc?si=dvOc1rGfxFMbzC_t

- And why not force yourselves to read and study that video's 'Description' with its many rock-solid scholarly links to some of the many bio-research programs conducted at Fort Detrick/USAMRIID - the same base blamed by the FBI for the post-9/11 2001 anthrax 'terror' attacks in New York.

Addendums/Addenda: one of Prof Baric's former star grad-students Lisa Hensley worked for 25+ years at said Fort Detrick - but in 2023 escaped to another virologist job in densely populated Manhattan where yet another BSL-4 biolab has been ever-so sensibly and quietly built - and, er, "opened its doors" (and hopefully no windows..) in 2023:

"Celebration Marks Completion of $1.2 Billion NBAF Lab for Studying Animal-to-Human Pathogens":

https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2023/05/26/celebration-marks-completion-of-1-2-billion-nbaf-lab-for-studying-animal-to-human-pathogens/

Finally - for now - why not also force yourselves to read this pre-Covid - ergo now buried - 2018 report in 'The Independent' and in several mainstream not "alternative" media outlets:

"US Military's "Insect Allies"(!) Plan to Spread Viruses using Insects Could Create ‘New Class of Biological Weapon’, scientists warn":

You’re asking an awful lot of our sainted Laura. She has a baby and a day job, for God’s sake!

I’ve been her devoted follower for years; she HAS addressed October 7. For the other issues, maybe we could take some of the work off her shoulders.

And thanks for the links; I hadn’t seen those.

Thanks Paul, though I must say many of us enjoy Laura’s hilarious satire AND know the Covid and 9/11 facts, they are not mutually exclusive, some of us engage in both!!!

Thanks for your links, interesting.

I also recommend vtforeignpolicy and GlobalResearch which were onto the Covid scam almost from day one, still have lots of archives and new reporting on it.

This article on Unz opened my eyes to Covid as biowarfare developed in a lab and deliberately released in Wuhan by US Army.

The whole “bat” thing was just too stupid to believe.

When I wake up here across the pond from you, I appreciated hearing the latest news by reading the satire of it that you wrote while I slept. Thank you, Laura. I hope you can get to satirizing something besides the U.S.-Israel genocide in Gaza, and the Palestinians can get back to building universities and medical schools. Oops King Blair is unlikely to allow that!

You need to start asking yourself where you get YOUR information. The facts are in public view, a live-streamed genocide by Israel against the people and culture of Palestine. Your notions have no basis in any fact; they’re coming from Israeli government hasbara. Please open your mind and get on the right side of history.

So. Turmp presents a 'peace' plan that's designed to be impossible to accept, because Israelis want to keep using free American weapons to wipe out indigenous people, and the crafty indigenous people completely out manoeuvre the best brains in Zionism by accepting the plan??? Can that even be fair??? Is shifting the onus for good behaviour to a gang of racist genocidal land thieves who have got away with every crime against humanity without so much as a scold even playing by the rules??? It is fantastically disgusting that the rest of the world stood by and gave turmp's gormless 'peace' plan any legitimacy at all. We shall just have to see what it does when Israel realises it has been out-smarted, and erupts in a fit of petulant self pity and slaughter of civilians. Palestinians have the world, and all the time in it. Israel is a sucker for every opportunity to prove it's the most despicable thug regime in the universe. Will this new opportunity Palestinians have provided prove irresistible?

If you go back to biblical times , then Jewish people are the rightful indigenous people way, way before the word Palestinian ever existed…

Kevin Mayes's avatar

Actually no. Jews are a tribe defined by former or current adherence to Judaism, not an indigeneity. The people of Palestine and the name itself go right back to the Late Bronze Age collapse, when the region was named after a tribe of 'sea-peoples' that settled there called 'Peleset'. The Jews as a tribe are just one people that emerged from the people known biblically as Caananites. The ancient history of the lands of Caanan as told in the Hebrew Bible is largely a work of political fiction reverse-engineered to fit the scant physical evidence and the vanities of kings and ambitious priests and scholars of later eras. This is no different to the bogus 'History of the Kings of Britain' invented by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the Middle Ages. Science such as carbon dating of presumed biblical sites and comparative DNA have done much to disambiguate the ancient history of the region and the relationship of its ancient population to the modern inhabitants.

Many thousands of the people who practiced Judaism at that time stayed there (the notion of a massive exodus after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem has been discredited); some continued practicing Judaism, and many converted to Christianity; of those, many later converted to Islam and some became humanists or non-religious. All of these together are a major percentage of the now mixed-religion Palestinian people! They are closer, genetically, to the ancient Israelites than Ashkenazis are.

...and the notion that 'Palestinians are Arabs' is also largely incorrect, since 'Arabic' is a language group, not an ethnicity.

You're American, Jackie. So when are you vacating your US home so the native Americans can come back to their rightful home? Because by your logic, that's the right thing to do.

Actually it probably is the right thing to do considering how we slaughtered and imprisoned native Americans in our quest for eminent domain. But that is a situation that is unlikely to occur .. this is occurring now ..

the Hamas government takes advantage of and impoverishes its own citizens .. Palestinians should revolt against their own government, but now they are too traumatized and weak to do so..

Rod Dawson's avatar

Hamas is a symptom of Israeli brutality and apartheid; it is a reaction to it. Hamas didn't inflict genocide on Palestinians, Israel did. Hamas never bombed schools and hospitals, starved infants to death, deliberately sniped at young men's genitals, filmed themselves anally gang raping prisoners to death in torture centres, brutalised medics, targeted entire families to take out single suspects, mass-murdered journalists, attacked ambulances, held thousands, including minors, without charge or representation, destroyed homes, flattened cities, uprooted ancient olive groves, cut off water and electricity supplies, smashed incubators so premature babies would die, kidnap peace activists in international waters, etc etc etc ... parroting tired, vapid propaganda does not change the fact that the vicious, racist Evil that so revolts the world these days is entirely Israel's.

Sadly, many of them were too young to vote when Hamas came into power. What Hamas was then and what they are now are two different entities. We see that in politics all the time, and the Middle East is a complex mess of Western influence.

Things are happening in our countries that we should fight against, and we do so with protests and boycotts, but nothing changes. Do you feel hopeless about your President? Do you feel powerless in making a change in society? I do. We have more tools to do these things than the Palestinians, and yet we can't achieve it. How can we expect them to when they have so much less power? I think it is also hard to revolt when you have Israel's boot on your neck every day. Living as a Palestinian is something neither of us would ever wish on our worst enemy, I'm sure.

I hope for peace for all. I sound like a simpleton for saying it, but I'm tired. I really hope for peace for everyone to live without threat, Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian, and Israeli. Just as it was before 1948.

DNA analysis proves the opposite. The Palestinians are the descendants of the Canaanites, the earliest inhabitants for whom we have recorded. Modern Jews have negligible Levantine DNA.

Sharing a religion with indigenous people doesn't make you indigenous.

Nope not the same .. and Israel was created by the UN after the Holocaust as a Jewish homeland .. but it was a Jewish homeland in biblical times as I am sure you are aware …

the word Palestine is derived from the Greek word “philistia”!and the Romans adopted the term “Palestina” after the conquest of Judea in 135 CE. In the New Testament, Philo and Josephus preferred the word “Judea,” according to Wikipedia. Maybe you can provide a less “ biased”

I'm afraid I have to respectfully stop at "biblical times", a term which is itself a Judaic construct designed and adapted to The Narrative of The Chosen People. Rather like the Second Temple's Western Wall which has been historically proven to be a remnant of Roman Fortress Antonia. But hey, who still knows that Santa was originally dressed in green until Coca Cola came along?...

I'm sorry but why are we entertaining a person who insists Israel has rights to the land because their god promised it to them? And insists that if you lived there 2,000 years ago, you have the right to return. What about 80-100 years ago? What about 10, 000 years ago? What about 1, 430 years ago?

What's magic about 2,000 years ago, pray tell? In case you didn't realise, saying 'my god said so' is no defense.

👏👏👏!!

Unlike the Ashkenazi zionists, I can prove that my ancestors are indigenous to Ireland. They lived there for many millennia longer than the Israelites had any dominion over any part of the Levant. So I’m going to choose one of those beautiful homes on the coast in County Wicklow and demand that the owners up and leave so I can Return to My Homeland and I can keep their house and land. They’re indigenous, too? It won’t matter at all, if I bring my foreign friends with enough weaponry.

Israel was not created by the UN. That is a lie. Israel illegitimately declared itself while the Security Council was still deliberating.

Herodotus, the 'father of history" referred to Palestine in 450 BCE, long before the Romans reached the area. Herodotus was Greek. The earliest surviving use of the Egyptian version of Palestine, Peleset, dates back to 1100 BCE.

Maybe you can stop parroting Zionist falsehoods?

You’ve got this completely back to front, how can a land thief “give” land to the indigenous people they stole it from in the first place?

We have seen words misappropriated throughout this last couple of years, y’know like anti genocide demo = hate march, journalist = terrorist, hospital = hamas command centre etc. The latest one is the word ‘peace’ itself. There can be no real peace brokered by America just as there can be no real peace that Israel would accept. I wish they would be honest and call it what it is, a ceasefire.

Breaking news! After a tip off from an infiltrated Mossad agent inside Hamas, the Israeli air force were able to locate the remaining hostages and deliver a US supplied bunker buster bomb to blow the building to kingdom come. Sources say the building was a Catholic nunnery ostensibly serving as a kindergarden but was in reality a state-of-the-art Hamas command centre replete with a sophisticated torture chamber. Bibi voiced his eternal regret and condolences and angrily re-stated his "no hostages, no peace deal" position, a position bravely supported by 99% of western media and politicians always keen to defend "plucky little Israel".
