Israel will be studied for decades as an example of a nation overwhelmed with genocidal mania.

An Israeli peace activist shares a video of Palestinian children burning alive after an Israeli missile hits a hospital.

Let's see responses from Israelis and hit 'Translate post'. Image
This is Yair Oriel, former director of digital at Israeli TV Channel 14.

(Always bear in mind these are responses to someone sharing footage of Palestinian children being burned alive by an Israeli missile) Image

You get the gist. Image

Keir Starmer's aides openly brief that he is not actually running the country.

He's just the frontman for Labour's most right-wing faction, a bunch of unpleasant political gangsters who don't believe in much, apart from hating the left. Image
Fascinating how Keir Starmer's leadership campaign lying to and conning the Labour membership can be treated as just a throwaway line.

Rather than a scandalous act of deception, which drenched Starmer's political project in dishonesty from the start. Image
Long before the election, the deputy prime minister said the prime minister is "incapable of running a bath."

Being a good administrator was supposed to be Starmer's major selling point.

You can see how that's panned out in government. Image

The public parading of detainees is indeed unacceptable.

If you're going to damn all Palestinian society for it, where does that leave Israel, which stripped little children to their underwear and paraded them in front of cameras? Image
"Human bestiality", says @faniaoz.

Let's talk about human bestiality.

Like an Israeli army which deliberately shoots children in the head and chest, as dozens of US-based medics testified.

@faniaoz "Human bestiality," says @faniaoz.

Read here how the Israeli army deliberately murdered the terrified 5-year-old Hind Rajab, her four cousins, her aunt and uncle - then the paramedics sent to save her.

Curious about who this man is?

He once posted the X-ray of a Palestinian child who had been shot in the head by the Israeli army - and turned it into a joke. Image
This disgusting little man then tried to claim this X-ray was a hoax, along with the testimonies of dozens of US-based medics who had served in Gaza.

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Because of these repulsive truthers, the New York Times was forced to print a detailed explanation making it clear the evidence of little Palestinian children being shot in the head and chest was overwhelming.

My latest piece on Palestinian hostages has driven pro-Israel extremists into howling outrage.

None of them have tried to rebut the facts.

There's a simple reason for this: they don't have a factual rebuttal.
Here are the facts.

Between 1967 and 2021, Israel locked up an estimated one million Palestinians.

Of those, 50,000 were children.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians incarcerated were placed under 'administrative detention'.

What does this mean?

It means they're held without charge or trial, without even being told why they're being imprisoned or knowing when they'll be released. Image

Donald Trump wants to empty Gaza of its Palestinian population.

This is ethnic cleansing.

It's not subtle. It's not even slightly disguised.

It's loud and proud support for an obscene war crime.
That Israel's plan all along was to annihilate Gaza, so that its people were either killed or driven out, was obvious from the start.

I recorded this video in November 2023. The evidence was always there, from the very start, in plain sight.

In October 2023, Israeli general Giora Eiland - former head of Israel's National Security Council - wrote this.

His plan for Gaza's population? "To stay and to starve, or to leave." Image

A ceasefire gives the surviving Palestinians of Gaza a chance to live.

Here’s what must remain forever buried in the apocalyptic rubble of Gaza.

The reputations of the Democratic leadership. They’re left naked, exposed, as the willing architects of genocide.
In 466 days of genocidal mayhem, the Democrats posed as troubled bystanders as they armed Israel to the teeth to wipe Gaza from the earth and butcher its people.

All that cynical handwringing had one purpose - to disguise the truth: they could have stopped this at any moment.
The two central themes running through Joe Biden’s strategy were constants in his political life:

1) Israel was an invaluable strategic asset

2) Palestinians barely counted as human beings

These themes overrode any other consideration.
