There was no need for the AWOL, Missing-In-Action Piers Morgan Media, which was never in Gaza, never stood up for Gaza, and never broke down barriers to reach and report about Palestinians sequestered in genocide. Thanks not to the MIA Media, but to Palestinian journalists, the living and the martyred, The Truth about genocide in Gaza continues to be conveyed faithfully and meticulously. ~ilana
With the Genocide of Gaza accomplished; a convoluted coverup has begun. The Johnny-Come-Lately culprits, the professional liars in media, politics, in advocacy and in the tech industry—also the custodians of The Narrative—have commenced their dull recital of excuse-making.
A dull mediocrity which was fully behind Israel—or, alternatively, had confined itself to occasional quips about mass murder in Gaza being antithetical to the American “national interest”—is suddenly simulating belated passion for the truth. Or, versions thereof. All to sanitize their sins.
Having carved out “a place of massive impunity” for Netanyahu and his complicit countrymen, these sinecured, “credentialed” Western elites have duly begun to hijack storylines—even chronology—to absolve themselves of the genocide of Gaza. The same “perpetrator block,” wading in the blood of Palestinians, intends, for now, to remain mum about the territorial asphyxiation of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. There, strategic adaptations of the Twenty-First Century Gaza Holocaust are rapidly and energetically underway. Pursuant to popular demand in Israel proper, Jewish-Israeli thieves and murderers are purloining Palestinian land and lives in the West Bank.
I had imagined that the media organ’s formulaic production had reached a nadir in Iraq, when my own passion burned as hot as a Babylonian kiln against that war. The “Truth” about Iraq, I had then observed incredulously, arrived officially only once the Empire’s agents declared it so, and released it in massaged, flattering form. And only as exigencies of power allowed. The sizeable dissident community did not rate a mention.
The current crop of Israel apostles who’ve connived and colluded to suppress truth include, broadly speaking, the Western news, commentary, advocacy and policy-making classes; the overarching tentacular corporate media and its clientele—the military-media-congressional-industrial complex, if you will. In a word, the international Imperial Comitatus: the foot soldiers who share in the loot or aspire to do so (like “Washington’s Arab puppets, whose sound and fury signify nothing”).
The international Imperial Comitatus make themselves known by affinity and affiliation, but mainly by what they do: They “ravage, slaughter, usurp … and where they make a desert, they call it peace.” Originally by Tacitus, the words were popularized by economist Jeffrey Sachs in an epic essay about these influencers, Israel’s co-belligerents.
Israel’s helpers had covered up the Crime of The Century, and now it could out. And although they’ve made excellent time—Palestinian erasure is near complete—these special interests wish, nevertheless, to salvage their standing in the world. They’re doing PR (public relations).
“Gaza panics the pro-Israel media,” said Owen Jones, a dogged British media critic. The genocide-era journalists are “creating a record that’ll allow them to say one day, ‘Here is proof that we denounced and tried to stop the genocide,’” remarked Laith Marouf, a Lebanese geopolitical reporter and commentator. They waited until now, because the genocide comported, broadly, with their worldview. “Media has manufactured consent for the genocide with atrocity propaganda,” seconds Hamza Yusuf, a British-Palestinian writer and journalist. “They did this.” “Western media is Israel’s Iron Dome,” averred Bassem Youssef, commentator, comic and former surgeon.
Although Israel’s abominations have been watched by humanity for the best part of two years; and despite Israel’s industrious, industrial-scale mass murder playing interminably, on a loop—the truth watered-down will only be permitted to come into being, officially, on the say-so of gatekeeping interests and personalities.
Such as Piers Morgan and the Missing-In-Action Morgan Media (shall we call it?).
And so, with pomp and Piers, forever slow on the uptake, those in control of The Storyline prepare to “excavate” a modified version of “the truth” about the Gaza Holocaust.
In attempting to clear his name, Morgan, a spirited evangelist for Israel’s right to practice state terrorism—he calls it “self-defense”—sounded the worst false note: the Iraq Defense: “nobody knew,” nobody could have known. (See “Iraq Liars And Deniers: We Knew Then What We Know Now,” May 22, 2015.)
The reason “nobody knew, or could have known” about a televised genocide, proclaimed the lemon-faced Piers with trademark verbose vacuity, is that there have been no “credible, international journalists” in Gaza!
Did you hear that? Palestinian journalists don’t count! In an instant, the MIA Morgan Media set about canceling the work done by the greatest journalists to have lived and died on the job. As you can see, society’s gate-keepers are also wretched human beings. To further their scheme and vanity, these power-brokers imply that absent their AWOL, MIA Media, we cannot and could not have known what was underway in Gaza.
The Missing-In-Action Media was never in Gaza, never stood up for Gaza, and never broke down barriers to reach and report about Palestinians sequestered in genocide. Now, the same Media asserts that we cannot know—could not have known—what was underway in the tiny Gaza Strip without them. Only Morgan and his ilk could have given us the goods on Gaza. …
Dare I say that there is a duty to support anti-genocide activists and intellectuals? There is! To the extent they say important things (and are not powerful celebs); those who do this work are often fired from positions held, shadow-banned and throttled on social media. Tech algorithms also ensure that we are hard to find on Google searches. As one wag (Bassem Youssef) put it, we have free speech, but no reach.

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“)
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.

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.

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.
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.)
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.
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?
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.)
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.)
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.
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?
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
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.
“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.
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, …
May 9, 025: Where are the animal activists for these innocents; these devoted, long-suffering companions being butchered alongside “their” humans. This is censored on many social media sites. Not even Palestinian animals are considered deserving of mention.
“… 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….”
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.
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.
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.
From janitor to general, from foot-soldiers to supreme court justices; in deeds and in words—Israeli society is genocidal. This, by now, is well-established. At all echelons of society, the intent to commit genocide had been established widely and early in the Jewish State’s industrial-scale mass murder of the Palestinians of Gaza and, now, the West Bank.
In Israel, genocide is a national project, not just a state project, says Norman Finkelstein.
… the ‘argument’ that the State of Israel is exempt from the obligations of belligerent occupation under international law in all cases pertaining to the Gaza Strip.
Stupid, because, even if you wish to assert a right not to feed the starving occupied besieged people under your rule; you have no right to stop others from doing what international law obliges. The obligation to stop Israel, says Craig Mokhiber, expert in international law, is “an affirmative one, not a passive obligation. ”
Before the ugly gob of a former IDF colonel, Gabi Siboni, came at a pliant West with the latest in Israeli public expressions of genocidal intent. Said this unthinking member of Israel’s think-tank ranks:
“Hamas is not the problem in Gaza. Hamas is a symptom of a bigger problem. The population in Gaza is a barbaric mob. If we don’t wish to bleed our soldiers for decades—because in Gaza there will be Hamas B and C—the only solution is Trump’s ‘vision.'”
As uncomfortable as this is for the libertarian methodological individualist; the facts are clear. On the matter of the mass murder of the Palestinians of Gaza; Jewish-Israeli society does not stand apart from the Jewish State.
The remarkable Norm Finkelstein has said so recently, too—also with empirical backing and proof galore. For example, the archival material of Lee Mordechai, an Israeli historian’s examination and documentation of the genocide. As has Professor Finkelstein mentioned one Omer Shatz, an Israeli law professor, who has focused his research on the “distinct crime of incitement to genocide.” Many others have shown that, by their actions and words—Israeli society is genocidal to its rotting core.
As if verification is still needed. For heaven’s sake, listen and look—believe your lying eyes. Given the number of American Idolaters still claiming that conditions in Gaza belie what our “lying eyes” tell us—I continue to recommend a variation on Richard Pryor’s wry logic about he who has been caught in flagrante delicto. The reader must believe his eyes, not the lying Israelis and the mainstream media which will teach you obfuscation, and, more crucially, rob you of the ability to express and correlate reality with language. Believe the evidence in front of your eyes. The Israelis and their Israel First American enablers are, plainly put, lying.
Personally, in my sourcing, I’ve privileged Palestinians, whose lived experience this genocide is. I’ve found that Palestinians have done the best job of transmitting what Western journalism has buried. Palestinian journalists are paragons of virtue and courage. Owen Jones, while not an intellectual (for example, like many others, he fails to understand that “Genocide Is A Crime, Not A War Crime: Israel Is Waging Genocide, Not War”), is, nevertheless, a deeply devoted and feeling British podcaster. Please take the time to watch his tribute to twenty-three year old Journalist Hossam Shabat, murdered, the other day, by Satan. How does a parent live after losing a son such as Hossam Shabat, noble, kind, and brave? With difficulty.
To have a son like #HussamShabat is a gift from God.
To have a son like this taken is unbearable. Excruciating.
An angel taken by human detritus, by specimen–#JewishIsraelis–so grotesque, so pornographic, so kinky and cowardly that words—my forte—fail.… https://t.co/AYbVN2FY8x
Similarly, when I watch Bisan Owda’s videos from Gaza, I think, “If only I could protect this mere child, spoil her, spirit her away to safety.” What a beautiful and rare gem is Bisan. Kind, courageous, sweet, despite being forced to chronicle the genocide of her people at so young an age. I’ve never heard a cruel, crude word from this young woman. Her parents must be so proud. G-d Damn IsraHel for threatening this soul, this treasure, and protect Bisan.
For that matter, never believe any Hebrew-English translation come to you via Israel (ask me, first). If Israelis are moving that grimacing cavity on their faces; they are lying. Here Genocider Israel Katz, a defense minister, broadcasts in real time his intent to commit the crime of all crimes. His is the sound of impunity, says Craig Mokhiber, another stellar thinker in law, international and natural.
“Residents of Gaza, this is the last warning. The 1st Sinwar destroyed Gaza. The second Sinwar will ruin her completely. The assault of the air force against the Hamas terrorists is just the first step. The rest will be many times harder, and you will pay the full price. Evacuations will soon start from areas of battle. If all the Israeli hostages are not released, and Hamas is not expelled from Gaza—Israel will act with the kind of force unfamiliar to you. Take the offer of the president of the US: return the hostages and expel ‘The Hamas’, and other options will then open before you, including migration to other places across the world, for whomever wishes it. The alternative is destruction and complete ruin.
“A child collects up the blood and flesh of his mother.”
UPDATE (3/27):QUIT CORPORATE MEDIA. You must quit the media system, which is heir to Julius Streicher. (He was founder of Der Stürmer, and a Hitler propagandist.) If you don’t, you will fall into error, lose touch with reality; speak with a forked tongue — and think as the abettors of genocide at CNN(or FoxNews, for that matter) do.
Your thinking will be infested with bogus concepts and constructs that do not reflect, but rape reality. Such as: both-sideism (there is no “other side” to genocide), conflict (this is no conflict; Israel wants to exterminate all Palestinians; Palestinians want to LIVE), war (genocide is not war, not legally, not morally), battles (there are no armies arrayed one against the other; Israelis have an Air Force, not a fighting force). And, as media report, “Palestinians were not killed [using the passive voice],” on any give day. Rather, than innocent Palestinians are being executed en masse by Israel. No reference is made to the power differential between genocider and genocided.
An example of mainstream-media propaganda via CNN:
The image of mass-casualty murder over which Gaza’s civilians pray stoically and spiritually is described by CNN as occurring “amid ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.”
This is the worst of agitprop. As was said above, and as I explained in “Genocide Is A Crime, Not A War Crime: Israel Is Waging Genocide, Not War” (September, 2024), “In Gaza, there are no armies arrayed one against the other. This is no war between equal, opposing warrior forces. There is no parity on the battle field, only, for the most, the bully-boy’s aerial blitzkrieg carried out against a trapped civilian population.”
Craig Mokhiber has underscored that the use of “conflict” nomenclature allows the culprits to leave out the concepts of criminal culpability and genocide.
A day in the life of this poor, poor people forced to live alongside Satan:
Israel has slapped a classification “over 20,000 Israeli Children … as victims of terror since Oct 7.” In the style of the Psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) for manufacturing illness. The criteria for manufacturing illness under DSM or similar mental-illness manuals are hardly stringent.
In actual life, not according to a manual, tens of thousands of Palestinian children are actually dead, mutilated, permanently and mentally scarred, orphaned without a soul in the world. No psychiatric manual required.
