Israel is a criminal entity, and a threat to the comity of nations… … the IDF is not a fighting force; it’s an Airforce. Judged from its actions over time, this Airforce’s objectives are not to defeat a regular army. But to pound population centers into submission—in Gaza, across the Levant, and beyond, in Iran. …targeting them and their habitat for Total Warfare. …Since war against civilians is a war on civilization; Israel, by extension, is an ENEMY OF CIVILIZATION. ~ilana  

“Deniers of the Palestinian Holocaust—Bari Weiss, Biden, Bibi, Blinken, Douglas Murray, Dennis Prager, Donald Trump—should be parachuted into occupied, massacred, starved Gaza, so that Genocide becomes their ‘lived reality,’ not their rhetorical reality to deny.”~ilana (“The Real Israel Vs. Hasbara History“)

ISRAEL THY NAME IS DEATH

July 19: AOC, so-called woman of The People, fails to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to cut-off substantial assistance to Israel, because she, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, says she supports Israel’s “self-defense,” namely supplying the “genocidal entity” with offensive, Iron Dome capabilities.

The Iron Dome stops a corrective feedback mechanism known as … punishment. At this stage of Israel’s genocide of Gaza, a majority of your constituents, AOC, want to see Israel punished militarily, not protected militarily. The woman, AOC, remains true to her original boss, Genocide Joe.

July 23: Kid looks for water. Gets sniped by IOF.

https://x.com/swilkinsonbc/status/1947973395695505854
Quit interviewing—giving voice, soliciting “confessions” from IOF aka IDF active-duty-killers.
The same goes for Israeli politicians, celebrities, influences, the Piers Morgan media, and assorted Jane and Johnny-Come-Latelies, who have begun to denounce the Palestinian genocide, now that the genocide has been accomplished. Report on their convenient “change of heart” at the 11th hour. Raise an eyebrow. Pass the names to the Hind R Foundation. BUT DO NOT LEGITIMIZE the crime of all crimes with personalized coverage of the perps.

Please:  Interviews of teary genociders constitutes a reward. Makes you look like you are sympathetic.

As we speak, this many times over:

July 23: NO, Daily Express! Gaza Genocide shames you: the Piers Morgan media, your handler, Israel (state & society), its sponsors and collaborators: USA, UK, Germany & every other government, North and South, that has watched, denied, exculpated and refused to stop the 21 Century Holocaust.

Military action now!

Daily_Express Headline, “The suffering of little Muhammad clinging on to life in Gaza hell shames us all”

July 22: Eventually all newborns will die.

July 22: Middle East Eye

July 20: Times of Gaza. 

ISRAELI IMPERVIOUSNESS (7/19):   “The Israeli imperviousness to the suffering and horrors in Gaza will not conceal the truth.” So blares Ha’aretz Hebrew’s Headline for July 19.
As always, Hebrew content is different from the English fare served to the “goyim” (a derogatory coinage for non-Jews). As Ali Abunimah likes to say, “Israelis think Hebrew is their secret language.”

MURDERED (7/18): “Yes, in Gaza about 100,00 human being were already ‘killed,” writes Ha’arets Hebrew, to which I will now subscribe, since fluent in proper Hebrew (as opposed to the bastardized, Pidgin, English-Hebrew hybrid Israelis speak).
Originally I had subscribed to the English, thinking these versions were identical. But, oh no. What Israel shares with the gentiles is oft quite different. Which is also why, deviously, the paper charges the full price for the adding the Hebrew edition to an extant subscription.

In September 20, 2024, I ventured, in “Genocide is a Crime, Not a War Crime; Israel is Waging Genocide, Not War,” that “by the time the Israeli serial killers are cajoled into stopping the genocide there could be between 250 to 500,000, maybe more, Palestinian deaths brought about by Israel, in the informed opinion of American patriots like Ralph Nader.”

ISRAEL IS DEATH (7/16): You don’t come back from starvation. While the brain is plastic, damage it at crucial developmental stages and the child is doomed.
Via https://972mag.com comes the face of Israel and its helpers: “Israel is blocking 6,000 UNRWA trucks from entering Gaza while children die of hunger. UNRWA has over 6,000 trucks full of food, hygiene supplies, and medicine waiting just outside of Gaza’s borders. We also have over 1,000 [HEROIC SAINTLY] health workers who can provide lifesaving nutritional services to boys and girls across the Strip. We are ready to move in to help little children” like Salam Wadi. Via 972 Magazine.

SETTLER UPDATE (7/13): The “enlightened” West has not yet called for the outlawing of human sacrifice in Gaza and the West Bank—so what chance does the beautiful, gentle Red Heifer have? Israelis burn helpless children alive. So it goes for an animal: a Red Heifer, or rather an insufficiently-red heifer. Not quite fit for purpose.
Regarding the long-suffering animals Israel/Israelis exterminate, slaughter: For now, and for the 1st time in years, I’ve not been able to overcome my disgust over the silence of prominent animal activists to keep up my donations to peta (@IngridNewkirk) and other of my regular animal charities. Donated instead to Sulala Animal Rescue in Gaza. No idea if they survived.

July 25: Good Morning, Genocide ‘scholar’

On LinkedIn, you can’t interest activist Philip Lymbery (@philip_ciwf) in Gaza. Can we hear animal charities and activists call to outlaw this Red Heifer sacrifice and practice-sacrifice barbarism? Now? Silence—like the so-called genocide scholars, who carefully positioned themselves, at the onset, to direct public traffic away from certain story-lines and toward others. And who belatedly make the case that was manifestly clear to Craig Mokhiber, Francesca Albenese, and Josh Paul by the year 2023’s end. (“I’m a Genocide ‘Scholar.’ I Know It When I See It,” Omer Bartov, July 15, 2025, New York Times. Note Bartov’s appeal to authority.)

GAZA UPDATE (7/8): NEW Poll: “Overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis share genocidal belief there are ‘no innocent people in Gaza.” “A Hebrew University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis agree with the genocidal idea that there are ‘no innocents in Gaza.’”

As to this story: AFTER “An Israeli Soldier Killed a Palestinian [boy] Asleep in His Bed; His Fellow Troops Asked: ‘Are You Crazy?‘ No one believes it.

No one IN THE WORLD believes The LAST part of this IDF crime story. C’mon. It’s like Jeffrey Dahmer asking John Wayne Gacy, “What got into to you, dude?”

It’s just a day in the life of an IDF serial killer and his comrades: Burst into a private home, kill an occupant or two or all, treat survivors like dirt, cover the crime.

Jassem al Sidda was murdered in Jit, a West Bank village.

GAZA UPDATE (6/28):  “Harvard Publishes Report: 377,000 Missing or Dead in Gaza“: The following is nothing you will hear from mainstream, genocide-complicit American media. Or from its scummy politicians and loud podcasters (who’ve gotten away with an occasional nod to the murdered of Gaza but have failed to use their influence to STOP the genocide).

As I foresaw, from the evidence I had collected and the deductions therefrom, made by November of 2023—“twelve months on [we’ll] be speaking of the distinct possibility that—by the time the Israeli serial killers are cajoled into stopping the carnage, there could be between 250 to 500,000, maybe more, Palestinian deaths brought about by Israel.” So I surmised in November of 2023.

“Harvard Publishes Report: 377,000 Missing or Dead in Gaza“:

A newly published dataset on Harvard University’s Dataverse platform reveals a catastrophic estimate of the scale of human loss in Gaza. The report, authored by Professor Yaakov Garb of Ben-Gurion University, estimates that 377,000 Palestinians are missing or presumed dead since the start of the Israeli military assault in October 2023. This represents roughly 17% of Gaza’s pre-war population, an unprecedented demographic collapse.
The analysis appears in the Harvard-hosted dataset titled “The Israeli/American/GHF ‘aid distribution’ compounds in Gaza: Dataset and initial analysis of location, context, and internal structure”

8/3/025: I myself have not been able to see this study, but here is another secondary source that appears to have collated some data points from the Garb study:

 Gaza’s Disappeared

The report shows that prior to the 2023-25 siege, Gaza’s population was approximately 2.227 million. Israeli Defense Forces estimate that the three main populated enclaves now contain only 1.85 million people:

Gaza City: 1 million

Mawasi: 0.5 million

Central Gaza: 0.35 million

That leaves 377,000 Gazans whose whereabouts are unknown. While some may be displaced or trapped in inaccessible areas, the report strongly implies that the missing are dead—many likely buried under rubble, dismembered beyond recognition, or perished from starvation and disease in isolation.
This number dwarfs commonly cited death tolls and challenges the sanitized statistics reported in international media. It is not the product of speculation, but of direct analysis of Israeli military data. What Garb calls a “demographic horror story” is also a legal and moral reckoning.

Will anyone pay, starting with Biden and his administration (AOC and Sanders included), Bibi and his entirely complicit coalitions (left and right), Trump (ditto), and down to the still-enthusiastic and orgiastically murderous Israel Defense Force cowards? Still shooting center-mass at starved human beings en route to the Israel-US scam feeding foundation, really a shooting gallery for hundreds of Isra-American cowards in fatigues?

Ha’aretz, amping-up its come-clean coverage, bemoans reports from IDF detritus that, “‘It’s a Killing Field’: IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid.”
These lax mama’s boys, IDF, could have refused orders to murder ANY TIME. They could miss. They fire center mass. I explained recently, again, in the lecture, “The Real Israel Vs. Hasbara History.” Don’t allow them The Nuremberg Defense, “I was only following orders”.

Iran war

“Little Satan Launches War Of Aggression On Iran; The Great Satan Claims Ignorance, Nudge-Nudge, Wink-Wink”:

The mad-dog medinah (country in Hebrew) strikes Iran, launching a war of aggression on its people. The Great Satan claims no involvement. (Actually, America might need to forfeit this title.) Much like the US has denied involvement in the genocide in Gaza. The US, of course, arms Israel. It could have brought the genocide to an end at any stage of this 21st Century Palestinian Holocaust.

Little Satan’s spokespersons on i24, an Israeli TV station (and a real piece of work), seem pleased. These audacious ghouls—most Israeli news stations are similarly staffed—say they are liberating the Iranian people.  That reminded me of the American endeavor to disarm Iraq of WND. “Twelve-year-old Ali Ismail Abbas” was indeed disarmed. Hundreds like him.

Most of my information about Iraqi civilian casualties had come from the CBC. Abbas lost both his arms when an American missile smashed into his home, killing both his parents. Sixty percent of his body was covered with burns that turned septic. The hospital director at the Saddam General said there were hundreds like Ali, killed, orphaned or maimed. Their faces are not seen on American networks.” (“ON PIMPS AND PRESSTITUTES,” Ilana Mercer, April 23, 2003)

“… a CNN anchorwoman who has probably never had an independent thought in her carefully coiffed head conducted an interview with the befuddled physician of another Iraqi child amputee. The vapid woman repetitively inquired as to whether Ali had been told why he had been ‘disarmed.’ The boy should be ‘helped’ to understand that it was for a Greater Good that he has two bleeding stumps for arms, the woman doggedly insisted.” (MURDER BY MAJORITY, Ilana Mercer, April 23, 2003.)

Nothing changes.

Iranian scientists and military personnel were targeted in their homes—and continue to be eliminated. For, as I said in my address, “The Real Israel Vs Hasbara History,” May 16,

The Axis of Genocide … the Woke Masters of the Western Universe, consider non-woke societies as without the natural right of resistance [or even governance, I might add]. Their resistance we call terrorism.

Israel, as I have documented and anatomized over 22 months, loves nothing more than wiping out Arab and Persian human capital, civilians—intellectuals, reporters, doctors, men and women in the applied and theoretical sciences, in the arts, dogooders, humanitarians. And historical beautiful structures.

Yes, with its bombing of civilian neighborhoods and the unlawful, immoral “decapitation” murders of leaders in Iran, a sovereign state; Little Satan claims to be liberating the Iranians. (And, of course, because of the Holocaust, in case you forgot.)

There is no casus belli.

Trump, as Chas Freeman and Scott Ritter divulged early on, engaged in “diplomacy-as-deception.” He knew. He connived. With the help of CIA, Mossad and the UK poodles of MI5—the Israelis (genocidal terrorists) smuggled the materiel needed into Iran. Meanwhile, Israel has imposed an Internet blackout in Gaza, all the better to continue its murderous bacchanalia, backed by a majority of Israeli-Jews.

Stuff to turn the stomach, raise the BP.

What you get from me, as readers know, is intellectual honesty. If you want the best, most assiduous analysis and investigation of the mad-dog medinah’s war of aggression on Iran—again, there is no casus belli—it is the latest podcast from Dimitri Lascaris, “award-winning lawyer and journalist based in Montreal, Canada and Kalamata, Greece,” who, in “Reason2Resist,” has, over the last 22 months, built a formidable broadcast in terms analytical, empirical and ethical.

The episode “After Playing With Fire, Israel Is Getting Burnt: A Missile War That Israel Can’t Win,” is far and away his best. (Israel, in its unadulterated evil, has shown it can win, but Dimitri’s a positive outlook is probably wiser than my gloom.)

After launching a criminal war of aggression on Iran, the Netanyahu regime waited less than 48 hours to plead with Trump to deploy U.S. military forces against Iran.

While refusing to rule out direct U.S. military intervention at a later date, Trump denied Netanyahu’s request.

Dimitri Lascaris argues that this is mere Kabuki Theatre. Trump’s refusal cannot conceal the obvious reality that the U.S. is already waging war on Iran.

Air defence is one of the many vital ways in which the Trump administration is already assisting Israel. From an air defence perspective, Israel is probably the most highly protected military asset in the Western world, yet Iran has now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that its missiles and drones can penetrate Israel’s layered air defences with relative ease.

As a result, in the past 24 hours, Israel has suffered severe damage. Moreover, there’s good reason to believe that Iran’s military has not yet hammered Israel with its most powerful weapons.

Will the Trump administration finally rein in its rabid Israeli attack dog, or will Washington become even more desperate to preserve Anglo-American hegemony?

Stand With Iran.

UPDATE (6/20): Two broadcasts are all you need vis-a-vis Israel’s criminal aggression against Iran. The one is above, “After Playing With Fire, Israel Is Getting Burnt: A Missile War That Israel Can’t Win.”

The next is “Iran Has A Right To Defend Itself From Israel’s Relentless Aggression w/ Craig Mokhiber.” Craig Mokhiber is someone I often defer to in my own Gaza essays. A fine mind and a good human being.
