Israel - Iran Lebanon Etc War

[Elihu]

What war crime will Israel commit next, and which of the US oligarchy water boys will step up to slavish the most praise on Israel for this?

script writes itself don't it?

The Biden admin is so devoted to protecting Israel’s mass murder and starvation siege in Gaza that it’s smearing a top UN official who is documenting Israeli crimes as an anti-Semite.

If Democrats are wondering why many anti-genocide voters can’t bring themselves to support Kamala Harris, here’s a strong example:

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield
@USAmbUN

As UN Special Rapporteur Albanese visits New York, I want to reiterate the U.S. belief she is unfit for her role. The United Nations should not tolerate antisemitism from a UN-affiliated official hired to promote human rights.

Calling out Israeli war crimes isn’t antisemitism. But calling a Palestinian-American diplomat, ‘a terrorist in a suit’ or a UN official for humanitarian relief a ‘terror collaborator’—said by 2 different UN ambassadors—is anti-Palestinian racism that you tolerate just fine.

This report documents Israel’s actions during its offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip from 7 October 2023.

It analyses Israel’s intent through this pattern of conduct and statements by Israeli decision-makers. It concludes that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Just to note: Tax dollars are not funding the wars. It's all un-taxed (i.e. "deficit") spending.

(Not that that makes the wars okay. It just makes it easier for the warmongers.)

The US has given far more to Israel over the past 4 decades than any other country by far:

Potential for US Israel attack on Iran in the balance? Iran has not confirmed direct talks. Only Trump has said so.

one of the most astonishingly deranged parts of the debate between genocidal Zionist neo-con Douglas Murray and Dave Smith on Joe Rogan is the part where Murray seriously argues for about 10 minutes that you cannot have a position on any topic unless you have personally seen, with your own eyes, what the topic refers to. He uses this as his killshot "argument" for why Dave Smith's factual position on the genocidal blockade on Gaza, which he cites actual authoritative sources for, is inherently wrong because Dave hasn't personally gone to the Rafah border crossing to see it with his own eyes.

Just try to think through the implications of this utterly deranged "argument", that you can't make factual claims about X unless you have personally seen X, especially if X refers not to an object, but the effects of a policy or a system, like a genocidal blockade. It means that no one can make any factual claims about anything except what is directly in front of them at any given moment as that is the only thing that you can immediately personally verify by sight. It is utter fucking lunacy.

Of course this also means Murray and every other genocidal Zionist in the Western media and political class can't ever say anything about October 7, because they weren't there to see it with their own eyes. Strangely it doesn't apply to that as they actually constantly fabricate and disseminate atrocity propaganda hoaxes about it to launder the ongoing genocide.

If you make this "argument" as part of an essay in high school, you will get a fail. If you ask a 10 year old if they find this plausible, they will point out the obvious derangement of it.

And yet here you have a grown adult Zionist saying it in an English accent as a supposedly serious argument in defense of Israel's genocidal blockade of Gaza, and other grown adult Zionist freaks are all pretending it's pure genius.

Oh and he makes this "argument" after spending the entire first part of the exchange saying that only historians are allowed to make statements about history, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT PERSONALLY SEEN ANY OF THE THINGS THEY WRITE ABOUT.

This is the freak Zionists are pointing to as their most sophisticated genius "intellectual".

It's insane how shameless these depraved scum are.
