Excerpt:

What Israel has done, is doing, to Gaza has not sprung ex nihilo from October 7.

Genocide is not a situational counter-response to aggression. It’s a coming-out event of sorts.

Differently put: There are no legitimate antecedents to genocide. Genocide is not a “war crime” to which a set of mitigating or exculpating legal defenses can attach.

Genocide is a stand-alone indefensible crime—“the blackest of all crimes”—for which there are no extenuating circumstances and to which no traditional legal defenses attach.

Ethnocide, depopulation, domicide and daily mass murder can never be explained away or exculpated using argument from law, ethics or history.

In essence, talk to the hand about October 7, 2023; because the face isn’t listening. Just as there are no legal or moral extenuating circumstances for genocide, so it is that there are no historical defenses for this “blackest of all crimes,” for genocide.

To assert that you are just, justified or even coherent as you carry out that which cannot be just or justified—this is to embody a most grotesque incoherence and contradiction.

At minimum, Israel deserves—and has yet to receive—the unanimous revulsion and isolation reserved for entities whose existence is a confidence trick and a fraud upon us all.

Reality is truth, past and present. The reality of genocide gives rise to irrefutable truths. From the facts of this Twenty-First Century Genocide; certain truths immemorial and irrefutable that traverse time have emerged. Truths about Israel.

Through Gaza, the world has come to know Israel’s ways with the Palestinians, with their lands and homesteads—down to what Israeli terrorists habitually do to the intimate bits-and-bobs that make up a household.

Through Gaza, we have come to know Israel’s ways across the Levant and beyond. They unground and salt the earth forever. They uproot ancient communities and their olive groves. For fun. They deform babies and the baby faces of children for life. …

Ilana Mercer, a widely published paleolibertarian author, essayist and theorist, has been writing up an anti-war, anti-woke storm since 1998, starting in Canada. On arriving in the US, in 2002, her weekly column was right away syndicated. Mercer’s national syndication fell through shortly after due to writing in strident opposition to the war in Iraq. ILANA is described as “a system-builder. Distilled, her modus operandi has been to methodically apply first principles to the day’s events.” She’s Jewish, grew up in Israel ages five to nineteen, and left, at 19, decades back, never to return. She had refused to serve in the IDF, Israel’s compulsory military. Ilana’s focus since October of 2023 has been the genocide.

NEW PODCAST: “NAZA Documentary: Why Taking A Prize For Documenting IDF Exploits Was Wrong & What’s The RIGHT Thing To Do“:

The film directors of NAZA, a Jewish-Israeli documentary, have given us the Eichmanns of Israel—IDF mezzanine-level managers of mass murder—under the shield of anonymity, for a mainstream, entertainment-industry prize …

I’ll tell you why this is WRONG.

And, what’s the RIGHT thing to do.

NAZA film producers ought to have taken down names.
NAZA producers should have deposed the serial killers as a police officer would depose a criminal.
NAZA producers then should have handed the footage, not to the Venice Film Festival, but to The Hind Rajab Foundation… ~ilana

ESSAY (9/12/026) On Conservative Kvetching About Contemporary Western Civilization’s Superiority

War is the West’s way in the world; war on civilians ~ilana

NEW ESSAY is “On Conservative Kvetching About Contemporary Western Civilization’s Superiority.” It appeared on The Unz Review and on LewRockwell.com, anti-war, anti-state, pro-market.

Excerpt:

….Once-upon a time, I’d have said, more serenely, that when an American politician preaches about “the values that make our country great,” to quote Mrs. Clinton, and about “our ally Israel sharing these values,” to be spread far and wide, chances are they mean not ordered liberty, but a libertine order, where the Bill of Rights is subordinate to the Security-cum-Surveillance State apparatus, and any common-law traditions remaining are treated as living, breathing, mutating philosophical malignancies that must be made to second and reinforce the murderous apparatus just mentioned.

Without qualm, I’ll now venture that the contemporary version of civilization known as “western” has been repudiated to a great degree by the Axis of Genocide. “You can’t pull too many bricks out of that wall before it caves in,” to borrow from Louis Auchincloss (one of the great writers America once boasted).

The Axis of Genocide’s modus vivendi is instantiated across the West in every single institution of state and civil society. The “perpetrator block” encompasses nearly all western governments and the most powerful economic actors. Its military and civilian squadrons have not only adopted Israel’s inverted reality and morality, but have made it their own.

The thing, the West, is in a state of putrefaction.

You’d think, then, that the conservative commentariat—many of whom rose through the military- or media-industrial-complex—would finally quell their yelling about “western civilization,” in the context of metastasizing, protracted western genocidal pursuits.

Not a bit. They continue to rabbit on about The (Christian) West vs. The Rest. They continue to figuratively remind us, with a sniff and a sneer, that The Rest once could not make iron or roll a wheel.

One notable exception to the warped rule, aside Jeffrey Sachs—a prince among intellectual and moral scullions—is Professor Stephan Walt, the intellectual in the famous pair that authored the seminal book, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.

During an August interview, Walt firmly but affably told Tucker Carlson that “people sometimes forget” about the “collapse” of norms against the use of violence, courtesy of the Super Power and its supremacist sidekick, Israel. In his words: …”

ESSAY (8/19): Flush ‘Em: Ceasefires À La Israel And America Are Layers Of Loo-Paper

The pedestrian, uncontested reality is that the many ceasefires reflect power differentials untempered by a shred of American and Israeli honor or decency …

When Trump is gone, there’ll be a new Barnum to oversee the US-Israeli ceasefire circus. ~ilana

NEW ESSAY IS “Flush ‘Em: Ceasefires À La Israel And America Are Layers Of Loo-Paper.” It has appeared on The Unz Review, the home of dissidents left and right, and on LewRockwell.com, anti-state, anti-war, pro-market.

Read “Flush ‘Em: Ceasefires À La Israel And America Are Layers Of Loo-Paper” now on Substack.

And, on IlanaMercer.com.

Excerpt:

Allow me to vent spleen over the many ceasefire “agreements”—10-point (April 2026), 15-point (August 2026), and the MOU, Memorandum of Understanding in-between—whose details the “experts” continue to belabor and rehash.

Enough already!

Can we quit the cretinous, make-believe commentary over fakery? Consult a Ouija board if you are in doubt as to how these unilateral things progress. But quit making a mystery of what are manifestly cover operations.

I’ll unburden you if you find it hard to untangle and flush what are layers of loo-paper.

The MOU, the “Hormuz talks,” the 10-point plan, the 15-point plan, the Gaza ‘Peace’ Plan, are all pointless as anything other than cover operations.

Ceasefires à la Israel and America, the two symbiotic, congenital liar entities lording it over the universe, are just one more weapon wielded to destroy the Axis of Resistance, or any resistance to Superpower and Sidekick.

Who the dominatrix is and who is the submissive in the US-Israel relationship—that vexation, I venture, has been adjudicated by reality, as well.

Each one of these farcical ploys, the ceasefires, is meant invariably to end in bombs, with blame imputed to their victims. How do I know? In the same way you ought to know. Reality. Res ipsa loquitur. The thing itself speaks. Screams. Writhes in agony under the rubble.

Did not all of these preordained “negotiated” traps begin with fanfare and end, as described above, in “bombs, with blame imputed to the victims”?

Islamabad was a burlesque to begin with. To arrive at their destination, in April of 2026, the amiable Iranian negotiators had to circumnavigate Israeli assassins, only to confront the tricks and turns and greasy chicanery of the diplomats deputized by another criminal Svengali: Trump.

No sooner was the agreement signed than the US violated it. The Islamabad burlesque continues with an ostensible extension. By the caprice of the same one man, it ended almost as soon as I concluded typing the previous sentence.

The same thing transpires daily in Lebanon, where yesterday, August 17, the Israeli terrorists murdered 11 souls.

When Trump is gone, there’ll be a new Barnum to oversee the US-Israeli ceasefire circus.

More obscene even than this is the fate of Gaza. There, so-called ceasefires and prattle about them coincide with bombs.

Kushner’s August-16 papal visit to Cairo, to meet with Hamas negotiators, leaders and senior officials; who came to Cairo as an effort “to ‘preserve’ the Gaza cease-fire”—this had no bearing on the bombs. They kept falling.

For all we know, strikes and talks could have been timed to coincide. For the Jewish-Israeli terrorists, fugitives from justice, kept up their fiendish “operations” across Palestine, irrespective. On the 16th, Israelis killed a “14-year-old boy in Gaza.”

That’s about the score! …
