“This (Gaza) is the moral issue of our time; this is the Holocaust of our
time, this is the Trail of Tears of our time, this is the Middle Passage of
our time.” Max Blumenthal
“Silence in the face of Evil is itself evil” Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German
anti-Nazi dissident
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit
atrocities.” Voltaire
As a hudna (ceasefire) will start Sunday, the occupation regime intensified
its killings of Palestinians including 150 civilians in the last 30 hours
(including six journalists). Despite corporate media being Zionized, even
NBC news covered the carnage. Go to minute 1.40 for the coverage
https://youtu.be/Cze2UTpmCcc?si=_N39cs8FX7Nq7q-R Yet, as they did in
Lebanon the apartheid regime will likely continue after Sunday to bomb or
even (re)arrest those Palestinian prisoners of conscience that they will
release as part of the deal (this happened before). The world had 468 days
of US/Israeli/Western genocide, ecocide, torture (55 prisoners died under
torure, hundreds permanatly disabled), killing of academics, journalists
and healthcare providers, ethnic cleansing, and countless lies.
What are the most relevant lessons from the past 15 months? Initial list
(from many):
1) military force can only commit genocide and ecocide but cannot destroy
resistance and hence,
2) the only way for peace is to end colonization/oppressionof indigineous
people and land;
3) that the Israeli government broke a sacred trust that allowed the
Zionist regime to keep loyalty of resident coloniers (the regime showed
repeatedly including on 7 October 2023 when it killed it own citizens and
after, see ongaza.org;
4) that the collusion of western govegovernments in the genocide was
critical and these western "leaders" are so beholden to the Zionist lobby
that they sacrificed international law, human rights, and their own
economies and people's welfare;
5) Western hypocrisy about the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian struggle for
freedom is the achilles heel/"straw that breaks the camel's back" of empire;
6) There is a lot of good around the world and it helps. Millions
mobilized, thousands of new groups and organizations were created. They
now realize it is not mere solidarity but a joint struggle (a global
uprising started, now being joined by many governments).
7) Palestinians (at least most of us) are the most heroic people on earth
(medics, first responders, academics, and journalists in Gaza Strip are
just four examples).
Max Blumenthal holds Butcher Blinken accountable for his crimes. Look at
the eyes of Blinken. He plays the soft spoken diplomat but emits killer
sounds. It’s a distinguished look that all Zionists have

Here they physically remove the reporter Sam Husseini, and watch Blinken
smirk. It’s because Sam is Arab America asking embarrassing questions

Here Australian reporter Werleman covers proof of Israeli involvement in
the 9/11 attacks. Don’t forget, if the US cuts weapons to that Genocidal
State, they will attack and kill Americans.

This is a short with Dr. Finkelstein on how the Genocidal State now runs
this country.

Lena adds: "If the peace holds and Israeli hostages are released, remember
Hamas never killed any hostages. They were killed by Israeli bombings. Many
hostages are dead because of the Hannibal Directive of IsraHell…sacrificing
their own for the Greater Israel project. " And there are 25,000
Palestinian hostages in small Israeli gulags and over 5.5 million in larger
prisons (ghettos like the one I am in in Bethlehem)
There are several outstanding songs emerging about the Gazan people. Here
one.
