United States have always reiterated their unwavering support for Israel — diplomatically, financially, and militarily even though Biden previously criticized Netanyahu’s right-wing government. So basically Israel is getting away with murder.

It's long past time to change that unwavering support for apartheid and genocide. Change the domestic and foreign policies of our corporate-controlled state, by voting out the corporate lackeys and cheerleaders for genocide.

Vote Jill Stein For President 2024! Vote Green Party when a candidate is on your ballot!

Thanks Mr. Peled for coming on. Everything I've learned about this has come from Jewish people.

I used to think a 2 state solution was the best plan. Because Obama said it. Now after listening to you I fully agree that "2 state solution" doesn't make sense. What's best is what you say, a 1 state solution -- Palestine. A free Palestine for all, from the river to the sea.

Each day I learn how much we've been lied to, thanks to brave souls like yourself.

I continue to be disgusted with Democrats. Where are they?! I think this will cost the Democrats the White House. If so, what does that say about a party that can't even beat Trump?

Free Palestine!

gm Nader fam,

Mike is right. Israel needs to be treated as what it is - an apartheid state. I’m going to call my representatives tomorrow and tell them I won’t vote for them unless they support severe sanctions against Israel including denying them from sporting events, cultural events, any events, and academic arenas.

If this means Democrats lose then so be it. For years I voted for them because I thought they were better than Republicans. What did that get us? Now I can see there’s not much difference between the two parties.

And now I can see why Ralph ran for President and that he was right to do so.

There needs to be politicians we believe in. Transformational people. Sadly, I can’t think of any.

Thank you for this show with Miko Peled. He unfortunately dances around White Racism like so many people who prefer “Jewish Supremacy.” In fact, it is White Supremacy that comprises the state of Israel. They discriminate against Arab Jews and despise Ethiopian Jews. Not a bit unlike the United States ugly racism abounding. The sham “Jewish Homeland” is the White Only Jewish Homeland. Think like a person from the US South. Their alliance with Apartheid Afrikaner South Africa during the international boycott of that government was not accidental. Two peas in a pod! Reagan loved the Afrikaners and he loved Guatemala’s Genocidaire Rios Montt like the Israelis did. It was more than weapons profit, they were brothers in arms against black and brown people. You might appreciate this:

Implying that Miko Peled prefers Jewish Supremacy” is absurd and nasty. And the rest of your comments are not exactly revelatory.

The co-founder of the Patriotic Millionaires will be on the RNRH next week? Excellent, this is the perfect opportunity for the RNRH co-hosts to present Professor Bill Mitchell’s critique of the open letter written by the Patriotic Millionaires to the G20 heads of state. Hopefully Prof. Mitchell’s critique has been read and understood by now: https://billmitchell.org/blog/?p=61142

As any good student would do, I read the ‘The True Cost of Billionaire Philanthropy’ report ahead of the discussion next week. For those who wish to do the same, the report is available here: https://ips-dc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Report-The-True-Cost-of-Billionaire-Philanthropy.pdf

The report is quite informative in many ways in discussing how the tax code allows the wealthy to use philanthropy as a tax sheltering method and how this ‘philanthropy’ is used to buy political influence. However, there are many fundamental flaws with the report which is completely related to Bill Mitchell’s aforementioned critique of the open letter to the G20. One of the central arguments of the report, as mentioned on pages 9, 39, 48, and elsewhere, is that philanthropy is subsidized by taxpayers as a whole.

That notion is complete nonsense and shows a complete lack of understanding of how the US federal budget operates. The US federal government is not funded by taxpayer returns (revenue if we must used flawed terminology). The report is working on the false assumption that the federal budget is constrained by the amount government receives in taxes. While that might be true with state and local governments, it is absolutely not true with a fiat currency-issuing entity such as the US federal government.

Only when we understand that can we understand one of the fundamental problem with philanthropy which is not addressed in the report. Many charitable organizations which seem to have good intentions are doing work which should be done through public organizations via federal spending and this does not require ‘taxpayer funding’. Many charitable organizations are simply acting as privatized bodies doing work which should be done by government.

There is no reason why any private food bank should exist because the government can ensure that poverty does not exist. There is no reason why any organization should be raising money for medical research when the government can fund such research. There is no reason why any charity should be paying for medical work or running hospitals when government can and should provide comprehensive healthcare for all. There are no reasons why philanthropists need to meddle in public education.

We have a rather backwards culture as it pertains to charity. The public votes for austerity governments and then tries to recover imagined social credit by then providing conditional charity as a bandage for the wounds caused by austerity. People talk about how good they feel volunteering at a food bank, for example. Religious types talk about the salvation that comes from such work. What kind of backward, sick culture requires the voluntary creation of poverty for people to feel good about themselves? This anti-social behavior is completely nonsensical and completely avoidable with an understanding of economics.

Now, there are plenty of reason on the tax side of things for reform, but we must be cognizant of economic theory in creating good policy. Taxation is still vitally important because, as Bill Mitchell mentions, it reduces the influence the wealthy has on politics. Taxation gives the currency value and acts as an anti-inflationary tool.

If the Patriotic Millionaires are legitimate in seeing the implementation of progressive policy, they must take Bill Mitchell’s message seriously because it is impossible to take any organization seriously which does not understand elementary macroeconomics.

I am Jewish and I LOATHE the government of Israel and Zionism, thanking you for saying truths that must be said!

END ALL WARS NOW! END ALL MILITARY MADNESS NOW BEFORE IT ENDS ALL OF US!

WE ARE ALL GAZANS NOW! Peggy Hall's commonsensical reasonable and logical ONE STATE solution is the only thing that can actually work! https://peggyhall.substack.com/p/a-radical-remedy-to-the-israeli-conflict

Can't say this often enough! STOP BEING PLAYED - TARGET THE PUPPETMASTERS WHO WANT US AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS - ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS AS THEY PROFIT FROM DEATH AND DESTRUCTION! What is happening in Gaza is the globalist WEFFERS plan for the entire world!

THEY want you dead or a slave every which way from Sunday and actual kinetic warfare ops are major components in THEIR arsenal.

ISRAEL: A pox on both their houses! Recommend Scott Ritter's detailed and incisive essay: https://www.scottritterextra.com/p/why-i-no-longer-stand-with-israel

THIS STINKS OF PSYCHO GLOBALIST PARASITE FALSE FLAG OPS TO KEEP THE PROLES KILLING EACH OTHER WHILE THEY (THE RULING SCUM) PLOT TOTAL SLAVERY. AND THEIR MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX GROWS RICHER AND RICHER!

Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant parasites are perpetrating!

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA!

Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.

Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!

There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!

I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.

My loathing of THEIR POISONS, AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!

Kudos to Ralph Nader's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.

Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!

More sanity and smart people talking:

“Life was beautiful,” photojournalist Mahmoud Nasser told us on Monday’s livestream.

Mahmoud, who has Canadian citizenship, left Gaza with his pregnant wife and his family earlier this month. But, he said, he believed living in Gaza was “a calling – I had to go there, I wanted to go there. I wanted to capture my country … according to the way that I saw things.”

“Everything about Gaza is amazing,” he explained. “But I don’t know if I can say the same about it now because it seems like everything has changed. The things that I loved when I was there, I don’t think they are there anymore.”

https://www.youtube.com/live/OHoMmeBbubg?si=9VGSZhOtuGSrN6qX

+--+

Again, people there, suffering. Forget these arm chair freaks, like ghoul gary and his Hollywood "my take."

+--+

Mahmoud described the agonizing decisions he and his family had to make while under constant threat of Israeli bombing, especially as residents of Beit Hanoun in the north of the Gaza Strip.

“In 2014, we lost our [generational] home in Beit Hanoun due to the war,” he said, referring to the Israeli attacks that summer. “But when this war broke out, I wasn’t in Beit Hanoun – my father was there, I was with my wife in Gaza [City].

When the current attacks started, Mahmoud said, he and his brother ultimately decided to bring their father to Gaza City.

“Now, thinking about what transpired days later, it was a great decision because Beit Hanoun was the first place to evacuate. It got hit really hard. And had we gone there, [we] don’t know what would have happened,” he said.

We discuss Mahmoud’s journalism work, his recent photo essays published by The Electronic Intifada, and what it was like being among thousands of internally displaced people sheltering in Khan Younis refugee camp before he left Gaza.

We also talked about his dreams for his unborn child, and why he said he would go back to Gaza “in a heartbeat” to raise his family there.

We were also joined by Chris Gunness, who served as the spokesperson for UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees, for more than a decade.

Chris became a familiar figure to television viewers during Israel’s 2014 attack on Gaza. Throughout his tenure, he was under constant assault from anti-Palestinian lobby groups.

He talked to us about the dire humanitarian situation for the 2.3 million Palestinians under Israeli bombardment for the last six weeks, while lacking basic food, water and medical supplies.

For many children who have lived through serial Israeli attacks, Chris explained, “this is the fifth or sixth time they’re being re-traumatized.”

“The other horrifying thing that’s going on now is that there are many children who are waking up from whatever has happened to them to discover that they’re the sole surviving member of their family,” he said.

“Or that there are two of them, and their brother who’s perhaps a bit older than them, or sister, is now permanently disabled.”

Chris also described the “existential crisis” for UNRWA and its employees.

“As far as UNRWA is concerned, they’re all deep in crisis. They’ve lost 108 colleagues, and I’m sure that as with all death tolls, it’s far higher. There are many UNRWA colleagues lying underneath rubble.”

Israel's Comm. Minister wants to shut down Haaretz, a leading Israeli newspaper

For calling out the genocide in Gaza.

The Netanyahu government is a gang of thugs.

Israel's Communications Minister Threatens Haaretz, Suggests Penalizing Its Gaza War Coverage

After Likud Minister Shlomo Karhi proposed financial penalties against Haaretz for what he termed 'lying, defeatist propaganda,' prominent journalists slam the Netanyahu government's latest attack on the free press in Israel

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-23/ty-article/israels-communications-minister-threatens-haaretz-suggests-penalizing-its-war-coverage/0000018b-fd0c-de73-a9bb-ffefb9f10000

Israel's Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi submitted a proposal to take action against Haaretz by ending the publication of government notices in Haaretz. Karhi, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, said the newspaper was "sabotaging Israel in wartime" and was an "inflammatory mouthpiece for Israel’s enemies."

The proposal, which was submitted without being vetted by the ministry's legal adviser, would immediately halt any payments to Haaretz from any state entity within his purview.

Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken responded to Karhi’s proposal by saying, “If the government wants to close Haaretz, that’s the time to read Haaretz.”

Karhi's proposal, which would forbid the publication of official government notices in Haaretz, and would cancel all state employee Haaretz subscriptions – including those held by members of the IDF, the police, the prison service, government ministries and government companies – was sent to Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs.

In a letter to Fuchs entitled, “Taking action against the Haaretz newspaper for the dissemination of lying, defeatist propaganda,” Karhi wrote: “Since the beginning of the war, I have received many complaints that Haaretz has taken an offensive line which undermines the war's goals and disparages the military effort and its social fortitude. It is possible that some of the paper's publications even cross the criminal standard set in those far-flung sections of the penal code reserved for wartime only.”

Prominent journalists from around the world have denounced Karhi's threats. CNN's Jake Tapper tweeted: "A push to undermine the free press from the Netanyahu government." The Nation's Jeet Heer wrote: "Haaretz is a great newspaper, needed now more than ever." Yashar Ali, who writes for the Huffington Post and the New York Magazine, wrote in response: "I just subscribed."

Excellent program. The information on what Israel has done is bound to get much more criminal, and hopefully legal and political bodies will continue to hold them accountable.

I have a friend who has been obsessed by the msm's failures to report the actual crimes by Israel.

A few examples:

WFP chief Cindy McCain should be fired for unethical breach of neutrality

https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/5972/WFP-chief-Cindy-McCain-should-be-fired-for-unethical-breach-of-neutrality

This is how the UN World Food Programme describes her:

Ms. McCain, a champion for human rights, has a long history of giving a voice to the voiceless through her humanitarian and philanthropic work. She is currently United States Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome.

An advocate for children, Ms. McCain has served on the board of directors for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose mission is to address facial deformities for children around the world, visiting India, Morocco and Viet Nam in that capacity.

She's amazing! So, amazing that this "advocate for children" and "champion for human rights" can run a UN agency that could bring food to 1.1 million starving children in Gaza while at the same time raising money for the Israel Army, the world's leading genocide by starvation machine!

And she escapes public scrutiny while being praised at the same time. It boggles the mind. How does she do it?

The Halifax Forum for International Security is an annual international security conference that draws military officials, United States senators, diplomats, and researchers.

Its stunning decision to present this year’s award to the Israeli people and army comes at a time when Israel has cut off all food, water, and life supplies since the first days of its genocidal war on Gaza.

There are an estimated 5 million Palestinian refugees across the Middle East, including the majority of Gaza’s 2 million residents.

Israel says their return would affect the country’s Jewish majority.

But the story only begins on October 7th. Before that, history didn't exist.

And ask no questions. Just accept the official story.

This data has been incredibly difficult to pin down.

This is what I've been able to get from my research:

Around 1,200 killed, down from around 1,400

I looked but couldn't find the official site for the Israels government's report on casualties. Their overall number is quoted by every major MSM media outlet, but not with any precision and never with a breakdown. That's typical of the MSM.

You'd think it would be easy to trace that data elsewhere, that the major news networks would publish this in detail, but noooooooooo! That would be the professional thing to do.

Anyway, all media report that the latest figure is around 1,200 killed, but no one except for one source gives the exact figure.

The most precise figure I've seen is 1,222.

Now, what is the most surprising to me is the breakdown. Those breakdown numbers float around depending on the source (and I use only dependable sources), but they are all in the same ballpark.

My best sources so far in this endeavor have been the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, FactCheck.org and the WSWS (World Socialist Website) which has always published correct data and provides their sources.

As I've shown above, this is what I get:

That last stat is super-surprising to me because the impression I got was that hundreds of children were butchered. However, that is simply not the case. Period. Facts are facts.

Also, I have been seeing more and more evidence that the Israeli Army used their Hannibal Directive and killed hundreds of their own civilians and soldiers in order to kill hard to get Hamas fighters.

The Hannibal Director refers to a 1986 order given to the Israeli Army to go ahead and shoot their own civilians and even soldiers in order to prevent hostage situations. It's named after the famous General Hannibal who took his own life rather than surrender to the Romans. It was used by the Israelis on at least one occasion whereby they killed their own soldier rather than let him be abducted. The order was rescinded in 2016, but the evidence so far strongly points to its use on October 7th.

I'm working on the friendly fire deaths and when I have compiled and correlated all my research I'll give you the deep dive data which none of the major US news agencies want to touch. I wonder why...

https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-45#:~:text=Violence%20and%20casualties%20(West%20Bank)&text=Since%207%20October%2C%20201%20Palestinians,killed%20in%20attacks%20by%20Palestinians.

As of 10 November, 4,506 Palestinian children were killed and about 1,500 have been reported missing and may be trapped or dead under the rubble, awaiting rescue or recovery, according to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza.

The number of children killed so far has exceeded annual figures in all war zones since 2019, according to Save the Children.

At least 33 Israeli children were killed on 7 October, and, according to the Israeli military spokesperson, 40 children are held hostage in Gaza.

https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/dozens-of-children-died-in-hamas-oct-7-attack-on-israel-contrary-to-online-claim/

At least 29 children have been identified by international authorities as having died in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.

As we said, the U.N. has reported that at least 29 of the roughly 1,200 people who were killed in Israel were children.

Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, maintains an ongoing list of officially confirmed casualties that includes 29 children.

On October 20, Ha’aretz released the names and locations of 683 Israelis killed during the Palestinian insurgency, or about half of the reported 1,400 death toll.

Of these, 331 were soldiers and police officers, many of them female, along with a further 13 rescue service members. (This number has since risen to 377 military and police personnel and 845 civilians, for a downwardly revised total of 1,222. The initial total included some of the dead Palestinians.)

None of those listed were children under the age of three, repudiating all of the lurid and mendacious claims about the slaughter, beheading, and, in one instance, cooking in an oven of babies.

Seven victims were reported as being between 4 and 7 years old, and nine between 10 and 17.

(For a total of 16 children)

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak says Israel built bunkers underneath Shifa hospital

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVG7duZ-u2U&ab_channel=MiddleEastEye

When he says this, CNN's Christiane Amanpour is so blown away by that statement that she asks him, "When you say it was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak?"

And he answers, "No, it was many decades ago that we helped them build these bunkers!"

So, another example of this extreme right-wing and racist Israeli government lying by telling the truth.

Did they tell us this all the time they were bombing the hospital?

Incredible.

"Yeah, hi everybody! Well, look. There's something you've got to know. Hamas is using bunkers under this hospital and because they are bad guys we have to blow up the place - patients and all! Sorry for the inconvenience! Oh and by the way... we might of f@#%^d up and built those bunkers. And of course, we take no responsibility for the deaths of innocent people. You guys know how to report this, right?"

So basically, they were blowing up the hospital for a mistake THAT THEY MADE but didn't want anyone to know about and then went through the charade of "searching" for the bunker with dramatic footage of a ladder and tunnel!

These liars need to be arrested by the International Criminal Court, put on trial and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

From Christians United For Israel:

Netanyahu: Evangelical Christians are Israel’s best friends

https://cufi.org/netanyahu-evangelical-christians-israels-best-friends/

Israel believes it can do anything it wants because of its religious mind control over some 660 million evangelicals (one in every four Christians) in every corner of the global.

WASHINGTON – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a Christian evangelical audience in Washington on Monday that they were Israel’s best friends in the world, in an address notable for the pointed absence of any reference to US President Donald Trump or his administration’s efforts in the region.

When I say we have no greater friends than Christian supporters of Israel, I know you’ve always stood with us,” Netanyahu told the cheering crowd at Christians United for Israel’s annual conference. “You stand with us because you stand with yourselves because we represent that common heritage of freedom that goes back thousands of years.”

Cora Currier October 15 2015,

THE DOCUMENTS COME FROM a Pentagon study, circulated in early 2013, evaluating the intelligence and surveillance technology behind the military’s Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) killing campaign in Yemen and Somalia in 2011 and 2012.

The study, carried out by the Pentagon’s Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, illuminates and in some cases contradicts the administration’s public description of a campaign directed at high-level terrorists who pose an imminent threat to the United States. It admits frankly that capturing terrorists is a rare occurrence and hints at the use of so-called signature strikes against unknown individuals exhibiting suspicious behavior.

There is something in Israeli society, a gruesomeness, a quality of bravado, of arrogance, certainly, but it is stupendously hollow and empty — and this emptiness is part of the horror. The habitual dishonesty, this unsettling sense the Israeli spokesperson or solider WANTS you to know he or she is being insincere. Social media sites like TikTok or Instagram are flooded with IDF soldiers. Many women, sometimes drunk. Or pretending to be, to ease the flatness of these confessional performances. (actors are always doing at least two things, one of which is forgetting who they are). This is Israeli performance art. The weight of dead children is impossible to carry. Things *will* emerge, they *will* surface. The social and the individual cannot carry this weight, this guilt, this shame. Not even the most fanatical and indoctrinated. Stripped of the ceremonial trappings of sacrifice (see Mayan or Aztec or Dahomey or the Great Death Pit in the ancient city of Ur) this is a technologically mediated frenzy of human sacrifice, the reality of which makes it even worse. Now, the Israeli military has a high percentage of female soldiers. They are the ersatz *male* soldiers needed for this cast, for this spectacle. For there is precious little actual fighting. This is another video screen war. Drones, and fighter jets, indiscriminately dropping bombs on the very most vulnerable areas of Gaza. It was telling that several IDF soldiers planted (sic) an Israeli flag atop the Haifa Hospital, staged much like the iconic photo from Iwo Jima. Resorting to such kitsch propaganda is for their own benefit, not anyone else for nobody else believes it. The Israeli state has increasingly absorbed American Zionists, settlers mostly, though only part time (seasonal zionists as Shahed Bolsen puts it). They are tourists experiencing something *authentic* and exotic. They are also provincials, and largely from big urban centers. They are bourgeois by class, and uncharacteristically for Jews in general, unsophisticated. And they do not want to fight.

Miko's great, but please, diversify your list soon.

First i post paragraph from the article, and the I post my rebuttal. My comments are where you see "my take"

Miko Peled is an author, writer, speaker, and human rights activist living in the United States. He is considered by many to be one of the clearest voices calling for justice in Palestine, support of the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) and the creation of a single democracy with equal rights in all of historic Palestine. Mr. Peled was born and raised in Jerusalem. His grandfather was a signer of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and his father was a general in the 1967 war. 

My take:

Ok, so he's calling for the end of Israel as a country.   Why is Israel the only state that they want end?   Do you imagine that the Jews living as a minority in a Democratic Country named Palestine wouldn't be butchered like they were on 10/7.   Radical Islam wants everyone to follow the Koran or they are an Infidel to be killed.

This is pure revenge. What we're seeing is vengeance of a military force and a state that have been humiliated. And just like any bully, any gangster who's been humiliated, they take it out on the weakest people they can find, people who cannot defend themselves… It's revenge for the sake of revenge. It's savagery for the sake of savagery. It's brutality in its purest form. There's no other reason than the brutality itself. 

My take:

 He's calling Israel's response to the horror show of 10/7 as brutality itself.  Israel went to war after that attack, since they can never let Hamas do it again.  And Hamas has pledged to do it over and over again.  In waging war, Israel is trying to avoid civilian casualties, while Hamas is trying to increase them, so they can win the PR war.   Storing rockets in Mosques, Hospitals, Schools, Kids bedrooms, etc - puts the civilians at risk.

Palestinians deserve nothing less than the lifting of the siege, release of all prisoners, and the dismantling of the apartheid state. Nothing less than that should be demanded. And all we're seeing people talk about is ceasefires, as though a ceasefire is some great accomplishment. Ceasefire does not provide the possibility of a future where this is not repeated. What needs to be demanded now is a political solution that will ensure the safety and security of Palestinians—and that is never part of the conversation. A ceasefire does not secure the lives or the security of Palestinians, because we know Israel will violate it a week later. 

my take:

Israel is not an Apartheid state.   It's a lie.   They have 20% Arabs and those Arabs are doctors, Nurses, Supreme Court members, Knesset members, etcWhat's needed is a political solution that will ensure safety of Israelis.  They were the ones who were attached.  Israel does not violate ceasefires.

It's not going to collapse because Israelis agree. It's not going to collapse because Israelis wake up one morning in a good mood. Israel is going to have to be forced on its knees. Just like in South Africa, whites in South Africa were on their knees. We're talking about severe sanctions. We're talking about closing down all diplomatic missions. We're talking about not allowing Israelis to participate in sporting events, cultural events, any events, academic arenas. They need to be shunned. Israeli society and the apartheid state that they created need to be brought on their knees.

my take:

Israel isn't the bad guy here and doesn't need to be brought to its knees.  Israel is a wonderful vibrant democracy.  You were there.  Although you didn't see all of it, you did see a lot of it.

According to Time, Reporters Without Borders has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court for war crimes committed against Palestinian journalists in Gaza. The complaint cites the "deliberate, total or partial, destruction of the premises of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza." This crisis will likely prove decisive for the legitimacy of the ICC, as several countries including South Africa, have alleged that the court is biased in favor of western-aligned governments.

my take:

Hamas was hiding in these media outlets.  And Israel warned them to leave before they bombed it.   President Biden is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers – who have long operated with legal impunity – threatening to ban visas for violent Israeli extremists in the West Bank. Ravid adds this would be the “1st time the U.S. [has] publicly consider[ed] individual sanctions against settlers.”

my take:

This is all bullshit about "Israeli settlers" being extremists. The Palestinians get paid to kill Jews by their government.   Who is the extremist group ?  They just lynched and tortured two of their own this week who they thought were collaborating with Israel.

Both the students and the administration stressed that Barack Obama got his start in activism at Occidental, pressuring the administration to divest from apartheid South Africa.

my take:

We are where we are at because of Obama.  He started the Iran deal, to give them lots of money and a pivot toward Iran.  Meanwhile Iran killed 610 of their own children this year, and their people hate their regime and love Israel.  And Iran regime funds Hezbollah and Hamas and also Huti as well as Islamists in Iraq.  Iran had 4 billion dollars when Biden came into office and now they have 70 billion dollars.

Is this a bloody movie script with all these fucking takes?

You are a racist, through and through. Bigot, and again, you know shit about Nakba, the creation of Occupied Isra-Hell, about the terrorist regime of the Zionist Jews, the terror campaigns against the Brits and then the theft of land by occupies, from Europe. Not semites.

The German Holocaust in Europe has ZERO to do with the Palestinians. They do not hate Jews. They hate Zionism and fascists. They have nothing against Jews.

They have no dual or triple passports. They are Palestinian. All the triple or more passport holders in Israel are, of course, not from Palestine.

Again, perversions these illegal aliens, the Jewish Zionists.

n 2015, journalist David Sheen and I recorded Ariel explaining how Israel must carry out genocidal conquests of foreign lands, forcing the conquered population to renounce their religions, destroy their mosques and churches, swear fealty to Zionism, and follow seven biblical laws for non-Jews. Those who resist are to be decapitated by sword.

“This is what the Torah commanded us,” he explained, “‘When thou draweth nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it’ [Deuteronomy 20:10]. What is meant by ‘peace’? Maimonides says that they must agree to follow the seven Noahide laws … Meaning, you ask them, ‘Do you follow the seven laws? If so, we will allow you to live.’ If not, you kill all of their males, by sword. You only leave the women.

“How do you leave them? They must all agree to follow the seven laws. And that is how you impose the seven laws on that city. We will conquer Iraq, Turkey. We will get to Iran, too. We will impose the seven Noahide laws on all of these places.

“You say, ‘I call upon you in peace.’ If they raise the flag [of surrender] and say, ‘From now on there is no more Christianity, no more Islam,’ the mosques and the Christian spires and their crosses come down, ‘from now on we follow the seven Noahide laws.’”

These worthless IDF shoot their own people and the IDF bombs civilians, no guts to fight Hamas hand to hand.

New disclosures add to the growing body of evidence indicating many Israelis who died on October 7 were killed by the Israeli military. Meanwhile, the Israeli government has muzzled captives freed from Gaza to prevent further damage to the official narrative.

Firsthand testimony by admittedly inexperienced Israeli tank operators reveals orders to open fire upon Israeli communities when Palestinian militants breached the fences encircling Gaza on October 7.

A glowing profile of an all-female tank company by Israel’s N12 News network contains admissions by the 20-year-old captain — identified only as ‘Karni’ — that she was ordered by a “panicked” soldier to open fire on homes in the Holit kibbutz whether they contained civilians or not.

Ten Israelis were killed in Holit on October 7; no children were among the dead.

“The soldier points and tells me, “shoot there — the terrorists are there,”” the captain recounts in the newly-released footage, noting that when she asked “are there civilians there?,” her compatriot simply replied, “I don’t know,” and ordered her to “just shoot” a tank round into the buildings anyway.

Ultimately, she recalled, “I decided not to shoot” as “this is an Israeli community.” Instead, she said, “I fired with my machine gun at a house.”

On November 17, ten days into the war on Gaza, the Temple Institute published a video seeking donations to produce trumpets of war.

https://youtu.be/gFnLysyhqyQ?si=NdQTW3u-wXstFut4

On November 17, ten days into the war on Gaza, the Temple Institute published a video seeking donations to produce trumpets of war.

“The Temple Institute has begun manufacturing silver trumpets to distribute to the IDF rabbis so that they can be sounded by our soldiers as they make their way to battle,” the video said. “We are calling upon friends of Israel around the world to play a true Torah role in Israel's war against today's Amalek, the villainous tribe who "happened upon you on the way and cut off all the stragglers at your rear, when you were faint and weary, and he did not fear G-d." (Deuteronomy 25:18)”.

In Jewish biblical texts, Amalek is a nation whose soldiers ambushed the Israelites as they traveled to the Promised Land. God then commands King Saul to kill every person in Amalek, sparing no one.

“This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

gm Nader Fam,

Today in town a young, professional, hip and connected woman noticed my Kufiya. She said to me, "nice scarf". So we had a chat.

October 7 woke her up. Like me, she started doing some research. She's figured it out and so have her friends. Because it's right there for all to see. You don't have to be a professor to get what's happened. All you have to do, is set aside a couple hours and listen to some Jewish people - Katie Halper, Mike Peled, Norman Finkelstein. BTW. Mr. Finkelstein is a modern day MLK. I think he's that important.

This young lady and her friends are pro Palestine. They're against Zionism. They're really pissed that the US spends billions a year - "killing people".

They voted for Obama. They were all-in for Bernie in 016. If they voted for HRC, they were highly suspicious - because of what the DNC did to Bernie. They voted for Biden. Not because they liked Biden -- only because, they hated Trump.

Now they've had it. They believe "all politicians are corrupt". She called Biden "genocide Joe". I guarantee you this young woman and her friends will not vote for Biden. They're either not going to vote, or vote for a 3rd party candidate.

If the Democrats don't change their tune in a big way, we know they're not going to, they're going to lose the White House - at least.

Somebody better sound the alarm. Because this is happening.

Desperate and focused genocidal times require I suppose millions of Unabombers spreading across the land cuz Fuckerberg and Eric Schmidt and Gawker Thiel and Dell and Ellison Oracle and Wadi Valley and Unit 8200 have us all by the short hairs. Go to +972 Magazine:

-*-

This morning, our team at Local Call broke a critical investigative report with major implications on how audiences understand the staggering civilian toll in Gaza. The piece was published together with our partners at +972 Magazine and is available here.

The investigation – based on exclusive interviews with former and current members of Israel’s intelligence community, alongside Palestinian sources in Gaza – reveals how the Israeli military employs a strategy of deliberate and widespread bombing of civilian targets in order to exact a psychological cost on the population while making premeditated calculations of likely civilian deaths with other targets.

Israeli military leaders have long calculated the costs of “collateral damage” during bombings in Gaza. But the drastic recalculation of “acceptable civilian deaths” from a single strike – from dozens in previous wars to hundreds in certain bombings in the past month – has contributed to the current war on Gaza being one of the deadliest military campaigns against Palestinians since 1948.

The investigation also reveals a widespread reliance on an artificial intelligence system that generates potential “targets” in Gaza. With minimal human oversight, the program has been producing targets at a faster rate than the Israeli military can bomb, facilitating what one former intelligence officer described as a “mass assassination factory.”
