NEW ESSAY is “Genocide’s Back: Trump-Backed Israel Defense Feces (IDF) Gets Extra-Brutal.” It was a main feature essay on the Unz Review, home of dissidents from day one, and was featured on LewRockwell.com, anti-state, anti-war, pro-market. The title there is “Genocide’s Back: Trump-Backed Israeli Brutality,” as well as the Mises Institute’s Power & Market, standing for individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, on May 2.

Some excerpts:

* Warning: indelicate language.

If we in the West are the most propagandized people in the world; Gazans are the least propagandized. Outwardly captives, Gazans are liberated from the illiberal political propaganda that grips the West ~ilana

WHAT has Israel been up to since March 18, 2025, which was when the “genocidal entity” formally broke the nominal ceasefire agreement in Gaza? Oracular insight here is unnecessary.

Israel has been trampling underfoot everything decent and good.

Genocide is back. This time with President Trump in fawning agreement, playing procurer and pimp for the Israeli State, and subjecting ingrate Bibi Netanyahu to no more than a curt jerk of the leash. Just the same, during a press conference with the US president, on April 7, the Israeli prime minister’s face grew as dark as a thundercloud on mention of possible diplomacy with Iran.

Under such favorable circumstances, Israelis are louder and prouder about killing and destroying with monomaniacal diligence. Indifferently, and for the first time, Israel openly admitted to targeting journalist Hussam Shabat for “elimination,” in December of 2024, and executing the him on March 24. The sadistic serial killer stalked its prey, then pounced.

The predator has so far singled out and assassinated 232 other Palestinian journalists.

Shabat thus knew, as he put it, that “journalism meant Israel would kill him.” Only 23, so full of promise, Shabat wrote his epitaph in advance of his death. It read:

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed — most likely targeted — by the Israeli occupation forces. … For [the] past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury.

I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents — anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.”

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to tell the truth, and now, at last, I have found rest—something I have not known for the past 18 months. I did this because I believe in the Palestinian cause, in our right to this land. The greatest honor of my life was to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: Do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.

For the last time,

Hussam Shabat, from northern Gaza.”

Trampling underfoot everything decent and good: Fatma Hassona was to be the subject of an upcoming documentary, “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,” to debut at the Cannes Film Festival. Israel could not allow that. So, Air Force Genocide bombed the 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist, also murdering nine members of her family.

After a brief, relative lull, eighteen months into the genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza, Israel has resumed its slaughter of civilians at an average rate of 103 souls a day, with 223 individuals dealt life-altering injuries, also daily. Since March 18, reports Ha’aretz, Israel has killed 1,652 people and wounded 4,391 in strikes on Gaza. (Ha’aretz “Israel News” newsletter, Wednesday, 16.04.2025.) The number murdered now exceeds 2,000.

With 62,000 Palestinians missing, over 52,000 confirmed dead; and indirect deaths ranging from three to fifteen times the number of direct deaths, by the Lancet’s account—the fake, fossilized media should be obligated to report the official number of Palestinians dead by Israel as well over 100,000. That too is a vast undercount.

The mind is crowded. Palestinians murdered melt into a montage of faces. Yet remember we must men like Rifaat Radwan. Radwan was among fifteen medical and humanitarian workers who were summarily executed pointblank, on March 23, by the Israeli regime in Gaza.

The underworld that is the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)—the world criminals and lawbreakers inhabit—is premised upon lies. By now you know The Liar’s lines, as he drops American “earthquake bombs” on kids at community kitchens:

“Hamas. Terrorism. If Palestinians die; they needed killing.”

But Satan’s non sequiturs can’t conceal the truth—or silence the deeply felt devotionals of the righteous. As the SS IDF stood above him, riddling his colleagues and himself with thousands of bullets, Radwan, Palestinian Red Crescent Society medic, did not beg the agents of his demise. Instead, he recorded their crime for posterity while righteously reciting his last prayers. These are achingly beautiful:

“Oh Lord, accept us. Oh Lord, accept me as a martyr. Mother, forgive me. This is the path I chose … that I help people. … .” Until he expired.

As Monday of April 7 dawned, a Wi-Fi rigged world watched a funeral pyre of Palestinians, except that the people Israel lit up were alive. The IDF incinerated “a tent housing Palestinian journalists in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.”

Late last year, when teenager Shaban al-Dalou smoldered alive, the presstitutes did what they always do: Fudge the English language in the service of Israel. …

…
… Back to the malodorous cauldron of death and decadence that is the Israel Defense Forces. (Or perhaps the Israel Defense Feces?)

A new load of grief came, in March, to residents of the al-Faraa refugee camp in the foothills of the Jordan Valley, in the northern occupied West Bank. Slatternly IDF soldiers have a familiar signature. They leave behind human waste in the homes they wreck:

“Feces, urine and used condoms—these are just some of the things that Israeli soldiers left behind in these Palestinian homes during their 11-day assault [in March],” reports the Electronic Intifada.

That the IDF has such a documented “tradition” of defecating and urinating in the West Bank and Gazan homes they occupy and vandalize is backed by other reports, not least that of Philip Weiss’ Mondoweiss article, “S-it Israeli soldiers did in Gaza.” A 2014 account in the Guardian seconds the same: “Palestinians returning home find Israeli troops left feces and venomous graffiti.” As has the august author of Drinking the Sea At Gaza, Amira Hass of Ha’aretz, documented the defiling ways of the Israel Defense Feces.

Somebody should rub IDF noses in their own mess to teach them a lesson, once and for all. Nobody has.

Yes, Israel makes atrocities past and present look like sandbox play. Still, …

…READ THE REST. “Genocide’s Back: Trump-Backed Israel Defense Feces (IDF) Gets Extra-Brutal” can be read on the Unz Review, on LewRockwell.com, anti-state, anti-war, pro-market, where the title is “Genocide’s Back: Trump-Backed Israeli Brutality.” As well as the Mises Institute’s Power & Market.

From Gaza, exquisite, poignant writing by Dr. Ezzideen, on the DNA deformities that live on, courtesy of American weapons of mass death:

“… Teratogenic damage. Developmental failure. Genetic disfigurement, not by chance, but by war. Bombs struck not only buildings, but chromosomes. The weapons, steel, shiny, American, fell not just to destroy the present, but to corrupt the womb. To poison the idea of tomorrow….”

Stopping Israel is imperative, never too late, and doable. I etched a plan, hardly ambitious, here in this January 8, 2025 essay, “BRICS And Pan-Arabism Revived To Tackle Israel, Militarily.”

MAY 8, 025: When on January 15, 2025 Trump instructed a ceasefire; I wrote then that “Trump ordering a ceasefire into being within days indicates that, at any point, Team Genocide, Biden and Blinken, could have done the same: stopped genocide at its inception. Team Genocide took a decision not to stop genocide.” And Trump, Team Genocide II, could do the same, if he were not, well, I don’t think this odious ignoramus deserves the effort of my sobriquets.

But no. Trump persists in fellating Israeli representatives: they want Gaza to starve, then starve Gaza Trump will. The “US is pressing the UN, and aid bodies to accept Israel’s aid distribution plan for Gaza.”

Rightfully, the “UN has refused to participate in Israel’s aid distribution ‘plan’ for Gaza saying it ‘contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles.‘” Israel and the US are trying to seize aid-distribution, and give over food supplies for Gaza to their war-profiteering mercenaries (traced back to a phony Geneva-based shell company, surprise, surprise).

As Bill Clinton once said, when Israel infuriated him, “Who’s the fucking Super Power.” Trump could do what I dreamed up at the end of my March 31 2024 piece, “ISRAEL: In Violation Of God’s Law, Natural Justice, The Laws Of War, And All Customary International Humanitarian Law.”

MAY 7, 025: The headlines generated by the actions of the State of Satan. You know their contents. You’ve seen the images of four-month-year old starving babies, extremities, digits like those of a dainty hatchling.

THE FINAL SOLUTION. Al Mezan Center for Human Rights: “Israel’s Annexation and Displacement Plan Signals Final Stage of Gaza Genocide”

+972 Magazine:

“Palestinians awoke to bulldozers. Their village was destroyed by noon“: the West Bank hamlet of Khilet al-Dabe’ is gone. Erasure

MAY 3, 2025: Genocide is becoming a bad look for organized British Jewry. The Board of Deputies of British Jews is getting antsy.

The Board, of course, is reliably reprehensible—it has spearheaded Hasbara for Israel’s Gaza genocide.

It helped Britain’s mainstream media, the Army and the rest of the Israel lobby to ensure Jeremy Corbyn did not become prime minister, and was tarred as an anti-Semite

https://twitter.com/BoardofDeputies/status/1670848802452799504/photo/1

Now, some of the same loathsome characters are posturing as lifelong supporters of a peace process, who had no part in a diaspora that did energetic Hasbara for Israel.

BEWARE. There will be many such cobra-heads galvanizing the Iraq Defense: Nobody Knew. Or, it was Netanyahu, nobody else. Israel was mislead by Netanyahu. When in fact, Netanyahu had simply fulfilled the average Israeli voter’s wish list:  They want their hostages back, but not Gaza.

The Board of Deputies is vehemently against one Kneecap, who must be a stellar fellow, or a good outfit, for raising their ire.

NEW (UPDATED 3/25/025): SS IDF Is ‘Liquidating’ The North Gaza Ghetto

The IDF’s ‘Aktion’ in northern Gaza resembles nothing short of the ‘liquidation’ of the ghettos of East Europe ~ilana

1/5/025: Speech restrictions stateside in the form of the Antisemitism Awareness Act mirror the worst of British and western Europe’s anti-speech tribunals. Tabled by a Republican and a Democrat and passed by the Upper Chamber, S. 4127 would embed Israeli agitprop throughout American education. For posterity.

Aside being in violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Antisemitism Awareness Act would utterly enervate discourse in our country, and would actually criminalize tracts like my last:

“SS IDF Is ‘Liquidating’ The North Gaza Ghetto”

12/29/024: Emanations from the collective that is the Israeli mind continue to be as septic as an open sewer. The Church of Satan, IDF, sets up a spa-like facility on the northern coast of Gaza, stolen land. Breakfast, BBQ, mani-pedi and massages are on offer to the killing squads in the killing fields of Gaza.

There’s a lounge for treats, Belgian waffles and pretzels, there are also popcorn and cotton candy machines, as well as a barber and a pedicurist for the fighters.

Surrounded by synthetic grass, and the putrefying bodies of murdered Palestinians.

12/17/024: Yet even the solidarity camp has to keep intoning that Jews oppose the vampiric Zionists. Not quite.  

According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, which misleadingly labels the genocide in Gaza a “military operation,” “Opinion about Israel’s current military operation against Hamas,” reveal that, “Jewish Americans… are quite divided on this question:

28% say Israel’s military operation is going too far.
24% say it has not gone far enough.
32% say it is taking the right approach.
13% are unsure.

The Manhattan Institute polls Jews about a variety of anodyne issues, and buries this tidbit deep down:

“Across all of American Jewry, support for Israel is strong, consistent, and bipartisan (83% of Democratic Jews, 86% of Independents, and 94% of Republicans)”

A disgrace.

“A new ‘non-partisan’ survey by the Jewish Electorate Institute (JEI) released [before the election] shows very high levels of Jewish voters backing Kamala Harris and Democrats in the 2024 elections.”

Kamala Harris had never repudiated Genocide-Joe’s genocide, and had promised to continue doing what was in Israel’s interests. It is fair to deduce then, that genocide was not an overriding issue for Democrat-supporting Jews.

12/11/024: Israelis and their lickspittles pitch a fit when the language of the Nazi Holocaust is applied to the genocide Israel is perpetrating upon the Palestinians.

So I compare. Read. You’ll learn some history:

Newest round-ups for death marches toward the south, the Sinai desert:

Excerpt:

Israelis and their lickspittles pitch a fit when the language of the Nazi Holocaust is applied to the genocide Israel is perpetrating upon the Palestinians. So here goes:

The northern part of the Gaza Ghetto is being “liquidated” (as remarked on October 31).  Israel’s methodology there is that of the Nazi death squads, who were said to have “liquidated” the ghettos of Eastern Europe before transporting their involuntarily confined Jewish occupants to the extermination camps, in cattle cars.

Going up against ghettoized civilians were the soldiers of the Nazi Party, the SS, the toughest in the Wehrmacht. Like the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the SS presided over a Kafkaesque apparatus of propaganda, intelligence, police and military bureaucracies.

Plainly put, the purpose of liquidation was deportation to the death camps for extermination. Israel, of course, has further streamlined and industrialized mass eviction and murder by collapsing liquidation and extermination into one. Duly, the IDF is currently attempting to shoo about 400,000 broken and starving human beings in the Strip’s northern most section toward a “safe zone,” the narrow midsection that is the Netzarim Corridor.

The IDF’s “safe zones” bafflegab is reminiscent of the upbeat postcards which deported Jews were urged to mail to their associates: From these condemned Jews, the Nazis, clever and coldhearted, had coerced messages of good cheer: reassuring postcards to folks back home from those who were never coming home. Don’t worry. We’re safe. We’re being ‘resettled’ in a wonderful place. (“Dear wife, I am healthy and I work as a tailor…”)

Since the Palestinians know all too well what is meant by “safe zones”; they are mostly standing their ground. Consequently, the SS IDF is slowly exterminating the residents of northern Gaza in-situ.

As the field monitors of Euro-Med Monitor reported, in the waning days of October, 2024, “Israel is systematically and extensively working to drive out the Palestinian population and forcibly displace them from their residential areas in the northern Gaza Strip.” To that end, they are “using massacres, mass killings, bombings of hospitals and shelters, and the destruction of [the little that remains of the] basic necessities of life.” ……

… Grossaktion Gaza is how the Nazis would have dubbed the SS IDF’s actions.

Aktion or Grossaktion is the term the Nazis used for their assorted ghetto-liquidation operations. Grossaktion Warsaw was the Nazi code name for the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto—again, deportation for the purpose of extermination.

The IDF’s Grossaktion Gaza resembles nothing short of the “liquidation” of the ghettos, as detailed by the National WWII Museum (carpeting your victims with bombs is Israel’s contribution to the annals of genocide):

“The liquidation of ghettos involved rounding up all Jewish inhabitants, shooting any resisters, deporting Jews to killing centers, and the physical destruction of the ghetto. Blanka Rothschild describes her memory of the liquidation of the Lodz Ghetto: ‘[When] came our time, we had to be taken out. The entire population of our [building] was walked to the place where the cattle cars were, and we were loaded. It was a horrible thing because people had to stand. There was no place to sit or squat. If somebody was sick or even dying, he died on his feet standing up. It was just unbearable.’ While some were able to escape or were transferred to forced labor camps, the vast majority of Jews who lived in ghettos in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe perished either from horrid conditions or mass deportations to extermination centers.”

Images are everywhere in Gaza, the north especially, of large groups of naked Palestinian men sitting amid the ruins. CNN had finally deigned to report and depict, on October 30, men old, frail and infirm, wilting out on Gaza’s ruined streets. These images had been uploaded by Satan’s army on earth, by the IDF itself. The separation of the men from the women on arrival: This, too, was a feature of the Nazi death camps. Stripping was the lot of all the condemned. …

…These days, Gaza looks worse than the Polish Kutno Ghetto of yesteryear, for example, depicted in Hugo Jaeger’s photography, curated by Time & Life. On the one hand are the heartbreaking images of the Polish shantytown, its many makeshift shelters, and its hopeless inmates amid the collapsing ruins. On the other are the nylon tents that have come to typify Gaza, set against a Hiroshima-like hellscape, from which all signs of collective Palestinian life have been erased. The similarities are too conspicuous to ignore. …

Sad day for the Palestinians, because the Syrian part of the axis-of-resistances has fallen. McCain grinning from grave. He was a big fan of ISIS in Syria

Palestinians are even more alone now. Supply chain of weapons from Iran via Syria, and on to Gaza and the West Bank is all but shut now.

The TRUTH: “Lies About Putin, Syria & The Alawite Alliance” Ilana Mercer, July 12, 2018

DECEMBER 5: Finally. “Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, the organization said in a landmark new report published today.”

That it took them so long—14 months into a genocide—only bolsters the contention that, together with the organs of international law—so too has the human rights community been compromised. The scholar Norman Finkelstein, author of the seminal Gaza, An Inquest Into Martyrdom (2018)—an exegesis of fact and law—has strongly suggested that this is the case. The report’s remarks concerning the Resistance are certainly proforma nonsense.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024:  Amsterdam Antisemitism Hoax. Israel is exporting auxiliaries of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)—civilian terrorists—who’re still invited, disgustingly, to partake in European civil society, or what remains of it.
The best and most forensic anatomy of the antisemitism hoax, perpetrated in Amsterdam by Israeli psychopathic football hooligans and their willing enablers of the Western political and media class, is “EXPOSED: What REALLY Happened in Amsterdam,” published on 14 November 2024, by stellar truth-teller Richard Sanders, under the Double Down News auspices.

YouTube:

UPDATED:

“Consider this paradox,” writes Marc Owen Jones, an academic specializing in media disinformation: “The New York Times ran the headline, “Israeli soccer fans injured in attacks linked to antisemitism in Amsterdam,” but the body article contained only verified evidence of anti-Arab racism. Its lede emphasized antisemitic motivation, while the body of the article cited footage by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans chanting anti-Arab and racist slogans – footage that the New York Times had actually verified. The only basis at the time for claiming antisemitism came from a single tweet by the Dutch prime minister, while the linked Amsterdam police’s own statement made no such attribution (subsequent police statements did condemn ‘antisemitic behavior’).”

Despite no Israelis being killed, a media system loathe to use the term genocide to describe the deaths of over 43,000 Palestinians seemed happy to use terminology redolent of the Holocaust. Suddenly, incidents of soccer hooliganism and anti-Israeli violence seemingly provoked by anti-Arab racism were being reduced to antisemitic pogroms.
…Buried or omitted in most accounts was verified evidence of anti-Arab racism that had occurred prior to these events, including footage of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans tearing down Palestinian flags, attacking taxi drivers, and chanting explicitly racist slogans like “Death to the Arabs” and “Let the IDF fuck the Arabs.” (Marc Owen Jones)

Israelis should be excised like tumors from any state-organized affair the world over. Private institutions should also be encouraged to disgorge Israelis from their midst until they come clean, admit their prior support for genocide, not deny it, and promise to demand an end to the genocide, the occupation and the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians, in addition to convincingly demonstrating a commitment to pay reparations to Palestinians in perpetuity, when the Day of Judgement arrives.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024: This is now. The IDF is not tired of genocide; they are invigorated by it. These murderously grotesque IDF filmed this footage a few weeks ago, in the Zaitoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

Uploaded at 2:11 PM, October 9, 2024, the footage depicts the ecstatically distorted mugs of the IDF de Sade soldiers, resembling nothing so much as primates in heat—my profuse apologies to primates for the unflattering affiliation—after a day of genocide.

Israeli Defense Forces detritus, human waste by any other name, twerk their ugly tushes and groins, grinning and gyrating while yelling about their conquests.

Click the link, and log into X formerly known as Twatter, so as to view Israel’s finest. You see, Elon Musk, patron saint of human waste, has seen to it that the sharing code of all these kinds of videos on X is disabled.  I have this fact confirmed by an expert coder.

In another vignette, a funeral for a member of Murder Inc, a family eulogizes Shuval ben Nathan with blood-curdling yelps. The recording website is Seventh Eye. It’s in Hebrew. The relatives of Shuval ben Nathan don’t “call for revenge,” as the article’s Hebrew indicates. Rather, they call for MORE revenge, and celebrate the revenge that has gone down, is going down, did go down under the watch of their dearly departed. “You went into Azza for revenge, the more the better: women, children, everything you saw, this is what you wanted.”

Western pro-genocide networks run morally reprehensible pieces such as, “He got out of Gaza, but Gaza did not get out of him’: Israeli soldiers returning from war struggle with trauma and suicide.” The likes of CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash—normalizers and backers of Israel’s genocide—are hard at work framing Israeli war criminals as victims, suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and worthy of great empathy, not opprobrium. More so than the Abu Ghraib photographs, IDF malefactors, however, tell a tale, not of fleeting youthful indiscretion, but of abiding degeneracy in the military and the society.

The media give us to understand that even in murder—nay, mid-murder—Israeli-Jews must be seen and described as mere victims.

Nonsense on stilts.

The fact is, while Israeli Jews are conscripts and must enlist in the IDF—nobody, but nobody, is forced to do what we’ve seen IDF soldiers rejoice in doing. The military draft does not imply or mean the obligation to commit, chronicle and rejoice in war crimes. This joy has been entirely voluntary, prideful and organic to the wider-Jewish Israeli society’s tenor and project.

THE NEW ESSAY appeared on LewRockwell.com and The Unz Review, where it was the main feature, as well as at my home on The New American.  And on Power & Market at the Mises Institute, July 4.

You can now read “Defending Gaza (II): Israel Engaged In The Mother Of All Performative Contradictions: Denying Genocide, While Committing Genocide, Effectively Asserting A Right To Genocide” on IlanaMercer.com.

This new essay is Part II, and follows on, “Defending Gaza (Part I): Natural-Law Principles Vs. National-Interest Statism,” June 9, 2024

The essay was variously titled:

Defending Gaza (II): “‘Synagogue of Satan’ Denies Genocide While Committing Genocide, Effectively Asserting A Right To Genocide”

Defending Gaza (II): “Israel Engaged In The Mother Of All Performative Contradictions: Denying Genocide, While Committing Genocide”

Defending Gaza (II): “Israel Indicted, Palestinians Validated In Fact, Law & Hoppean Argumentation”

Explained in Part II, first, using Hoppean Argumentation, is why Israel is engaged in the mother of all performative contradictions: denying genocide, while committing genocide, all the while demanding the right to genocide. These tactics amount to ISRAEL, EFFECTIVELY, CLAIMING AUTHORITY TO COMMIT GENOCIDE.

Next, lest I be accused of arguing in circles, the concept of genocide is reasonably qualified and clarified. In particular, with reference to Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. ISRAEL HAS ACED THE GENOCIDE BAR! I explained why the positive law’s definition of the systematic, methodical annihilation of a people is inoffensive to the natural-law libertarian.

The reason I then, and in most of my essays on Gaza, insist on CHRONICLING A DAY IN THE LIFE … of Gaza is this: We owe it to the holocaust survivors and their families, and to the historical record, which is vulnerable to the revisionism of Zionists. However insurmountable, and to bear witness to genocide, as we must—Gaza’s dead must be counted, recited and commemorated.

Showing how Israel CO-OPTS HUMAN-RIGHTS LAW—how Israelis cloak their murderous rampages on civilians in the raiment of human-rights nomenclature is essential. Of course, no matter who has committed a crime in my neighborhood or in its vicinity; Washington State has no right to turn me out of my home, which is mine, which I own. The state certainly has no right to pulverize my home because its agents believe outlaws hide in the neighborhood.

On to ISRAEL’S LAW OF RULE IN THE WEST BANK. Did you know that, “A combined ‘effort’ between IDF- and security force soldiers and settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is responsible for pogroms in which over 528 Palestinians have been murdered since October 7, among whom were 126 children“? We ought to know this.

Finally, PALESTINIANS VALIDATED VIA ARGUMENTATION: The Hoppean principle applied in this essay’s opening is used in the coda to to validate the Palestinians’ reality, as they have been telling it to a mostly unbelieving universe (myself included) over decades.

The Hoppean proposition deployed to trace the contours of Israel’s reality is this: Israel can’t deny it is engaged in genocide as it enacts genocide. Since it does, it must be seen as performing a lie for which it deserves the contempt reserved for those who are mired in and embody lies and contradictions.

Using the same meta-principle, Israel’s televised genocide has corroborated the reality of the Palestinians—their reasons for resentment and resistance—as they’ve been telling it to the world.  Excerpt from the coda:

…Palestinians under Israel are perhaps the most imperiled people in the world. If the proponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza were to deny this; they’d be living a lie. To expose the liar’s life of lies; the denier of the Palestinian reality ought to be compelled to live his own lie. How would our holocaust denier be forced into performing or living his lie?

Like this: The denier of the Palestinian holocaust would have to be parachuted into the midst of the living ghosts of Gaza. He would be filmed as he lives the life of a Palestinian, running hither and yon as the tanks advance on him, or ducking-and-diving during bombardments from above, as if one can escape the death radius of a 2000- or 500 pound, American-made bomb.

The denier of the Palestinian holocaust would be recorded scratching for scraps, lugging jerricans of brackish, contaminated drinking water back to his nylon dwelling, clambering over kilometers of decaying structures, through ruins and twisted metal. Our camera’s viewfinder will find the denier queuing with thousands to use a single functioning toilet, plumbing having been pulverized by the Israelis. He or she would be taped up-close in the throes of dysentery, sepsis, and starvation; intubated or cannulated or amputated or C-sectioned without narcotics, writhing on a hospital floor as slippery as an abattoir, listening to the incessant whirring above of Israel’s killer-cum-spy drones.

QED. Points proven.

The new essay, “Defending Gaza (II): Israel Engaged In The Mother Of All Performative Contradictions: Denying Genocide, While Committing Genocide, Effectively Asserting A Right To Genocide,” is Part II.  It follows on, “Defending Gaza (Part I): Natural-Law Principles Vs. National-Interest Statism,” June 9, 2024

The links are legion throughout; the logic unassailable.

UPDATE VIII (7/26): Ethnocide In The West Bank. If the West Bank is increasingly looking like Gaza, it’s because it and its people are being evicted and murdered, too. The great Peter Oborne (Unscripted), on “How Israel devastated refugee camps in the West Bank since 7 October.”

UPDATE VII (7/24): War Criminal In Congress. Patriot Scott Ritter, who has been fighting for his country for a lifetime: “I’d have tackled the SOB Bibi for launching a frontal assault on our people & on what makes America great: the Constitution, the 1st Amendment.” May the colluding quislings of Congress, bought and paid for by War Criminals, rot. WATCH.

UPDATE VI (July 23): LAVROV: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a UN Security Council Open Debate on the Situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, New York, July 17, 2024:

… Israel is waging jointly with its American allies …. Over the past 10 months or 300 days, nearly 40,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed and 90,000 wounded. The majority of them are children and women. This is twice as many as the number of civilian victims on both sides of the conflict in southeastern Ukraine over the past 10 years. The number of civilian victims [in Gaza] over the past 10 months is twice as large as the number of civilian victims in Ukraine over the past 10 years since the state coup in February 2014. According to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry that examines violations of international human rights law, Palestinians aged below 18 make up approximately half of Gaza’s population. It means that they were born and grew up in conditions of a total blockade. Apart from the current escalation of violence, they have seen other Israeli military operations, namely Summer Rains and Autumn Clouds in 2006, Hot Winter and Cast Lead in 2008-2009, Pillar of Defence in 2012, Protective Edge in 2014, and Guardian of the Walls in 2021.
Gaza is in ruins today. Residential buildings, schools and hospitals have been turned into rubble, and the critical civilian infrastructure facilities have been knocked out of service. There is an epidemic of infectious diseases and mass hunger there. It is a real humanitarian disaster. There is no safe and reliable access to the victims and those in need amid the ongoing hostilities.

UPDATE V (7/23). BUSTED: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) Issues Momentous Advisory Ruling AGAINST Israel’s Occupation, including how these rulings must be operationalized:

“Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.”

Summary of the Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024 is here.

Israel, moreover, is bound by this decision by virtue of being “party to several legal instruments containing human rights obligations, including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 21 December 1965 (CERD), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 16 December 1966 (the ‘ICESCR’) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 19 December 1966 (the ‘ICCPR’).”

Some analysis is at Al Jazeera. I found Lamis Deek’s interview with George Galloway most excellent and compelling. WATCH.

(7/23/024): Palestinian beauty BELLA HADID has held strong against the genocidal forces of evil. Boycot Adidas, which caved to the Zionist lobby, which is responsible for throttling, banning, libeling and maligning all protest, written or enacted, against Israel’s genocide of Gazans.

UPDATE I: Funny tidbit regarding my essay on The Unz Review. I can’t post it on Twatter, or X, for you. The phrase used in the title, that of Jesus not mine, is considered hate speech on X. The X algorithm doesn’t discriminate between the naughty words of the putative Son Of God and those of other mortals. Banned.

UPDATE II (7/6): Categorically true. A philosopher, via Mondoweiss: “… if someone, after the horrific punishment meted out by Israel on Gaza, could still defend Israel, then this manifests a serious moral character flaw. … If you support Israel in the middle of a genocide, you’re an awful person.”

UPDATE III (7/8): IDF war criminals are trying to shed culpability. The English 972 article is milder, so I translate from the Hebrew version of the magazine, whose URL cannot be transposed here as it is in Hebrew: ‘We fired without discrimination. Often just for fun. We burned down homes. Every male between 16 and 50 was considered a terrorist, fair game. The bodies we bulldozed into ditches, so as to reduce visibility to service providers.’

UPDATE IV (7/10): The august British medical journal, The Lancet,
 has awoken to its obligation to Truth:

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2,375,259, this would translate to 7-9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip. A report from Feb 7, 2024, at the time when the direct death toll was 28,000, estimated that without a ceasefire there would be between 58,260 deaths (without an epidemic or escalation) and 85,750 deaths (if both occurred) by Aug 6, 2024.

MORE.

ONLY-FOLLOWING-ORDERS DEFENSE. I’ve heard friendlies, righteous commentators, express sadness over the fact that IDF soldiers will invariably suffer from years of assorted Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders. Not so fast. With every Tik Tok upload, the IDF have proven themselves murderous and without morals. By the numbers. Here is the latest exemplar of the “most moral military in the world”:

No shortage of shameless IDF. The Nuremberg defense is invalid: “I was only following orders. I had been brainwashed.”
