NEW ESSAY IS “Trump Goes Amalek on Iran: Israelization of The US Military; Gazafication of Iran & Lebanon.” It can currently be read on The Unz Review, home to dissidents from day one, and on LewRockwell.com, antiwar, anti-state, pro-market.

In it you’ll encounter Oafs Wittkoaff and Kushner, sons Odai and Qusai, Big Daddy Beelzebub and his favorite, serial-killer state, even an ugly war-gaming American makes an appearance. Never forget though that in reality, the Axis of Resistance is battling The Axis of Epstein for us all.

To Israel’s unbridled barbarism, America has responded by joining in. Trump has naturalized the idea of conquest, ethnic cleansing; genocide and mass murder. ~ilana

The Axis of Epstein wants to destroy the Axis of Resistance. ~ilana 

Excerpts:

Decent, moral people will root for Iran to hold the line against a Satanic confederacy, Israel in the lead, seeking the fragmentation and Gazafication of Iran and Lebanon.

To that end, President Donald Trump had convened “hucksters and shysters” to head his diplomatic corps to the Middle East and beyond, Iran included. In the commission of the greatest Sins known to Man, the “populist” president had recruited billionaires to his White House, who also happen to be Israel-first fixers and assets. Like their boss, both Trump’s point “men” are regarded as “Israeli assets,” as “one Gulf diplomat with knowledge of the talks” told The Guardian, on March 17.

This, the president, to whom Bibi Netanyahu’s word is law, did with a purpose, the outcome of which is in evidence:

The final and full Israelization of the American military, and the attempted Gazafication of Iran and Lebanon. The “Gaza doctrine applied to a new front,” concludes Jonathan Whittall, a humanitarian and fellow South African. “And the American state is in compliance, providing firepower and striving to finally and fully Israelize the American military.”

The crime of aggression is “the supreme international crime” in international customary law. Why so? Because “it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” The aggression is not only “a crime against the state that is attacked,” but it is “a crime against individuals who are killed or harmed as a result of war.”

Think “accumulated evil” when you look at Trump, a “second-rate gangster who strove to be Bibi Netanyahu” and has finally and fully arrived.

Without half trying, Trump has made us all confederates in Israel’s crimes. The Israel-US criminal regimes are in contravention of the laws of war, and the Charter of the United Nations—Articles Two and 51, in particular—by which “armed force” shall not be deployed against “the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another State.”

For reasons obvious, the twinned Trump-Netanyahu regimes are also an affront to God’s law, the Ten Commandments—according to which you must not covet or murder—and the natural justice, subsumed within which is the libertarian law. The latter pivots on the universal injunction against unprovoked aggression, not on the “national interest fiat standard.” 

Most of all, this obtains “regardless of a declaration of war”! In other words, the murderous parliamentary procedures and protocols of Israel or the US do not usurp eternal codes of morality and ethics. Codified or uncodified, all laws that govern the comity between the community of nations and uphold individual rights have been trashed by the US-Israel coalition of evil.

By rights, Iran then is not only expected to defend its people—but to defend them against any “State [that] allows its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State [USA] for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State [Iran].” By the letter of the law, Iran is fighting fair when it targets the Persian Gulf states, from which attacks on the Iranian people are staged.

These eternal universal laws have been sundered by two rogue, nuclear powers, whose nuclear proliferation is undeclared and unsupervised. Obscenely, the US and Israel have justified their attack on a third state [Iran] that has no nukes and has not initiated war in centuries, by invoking nuclear control and non-proliferation, comments Craig Mokhiber.

This is enough to make one gag.

Trump’s team of choice gave tone to all negotiation proceedings. The Three Amigos—Trump and his Israel-first fixers—have recruited America into their unbridled barbarism. In progress is a system of plunder developed by this coterie. Don’t, however, let the sweep of destruction they leave in their wake fool you. Trump and his loyalists are amassing fortunes. So too are sons Odai and Qusai making money hand over fist.

The one oaf sent abroad to “represent,” Steve Witkoff, is an old pal of the president. A real estate developer and investor, the man knows less than nothing about most things, the world of stocks and bonds excepted.

As we know, Trump is economical with the truth. Like him, Witkoaff has told lies right and left. About the long-suffering, patient, genial Iranian negotiators—a class act if ever there was one—he piled up a heap of lies to a receptive media: …

…  Predictions, classifications, derivations, etiologies: Man has always performed these mental operations. However, the war gaming going on under the guise of military scholarship is both repulsive and dangerous, given the “place of massive impunity” that has been carved out for Netanyahu and his complicit countrymen. As I see it, the gaiety someone like Robert Pape affects, while huffily flogging his war-on-Iran predictions, comes under the “Ugly American” category. …

The use of tactical nuclear weapons must be decried with the lash of logic, not logistics, and in clear moral language. Protest, rather than prattle to show how much you know or how predictive your war gaming is. …

Protest and pray. In Iran, the Axis of Epstein, whose combined age is 327 years, is trying to destroy a civilization 6000 to 8000 years old. Pray they fail. …

ESSAY (UPDATES 3/21): Why Iran Should Go Heavy On Israel, And Spare The US & Gulf States + VIDEO

America, Argument, COVID-19, Democrats, Donald Trump, Ethics, Foreign Policy, GAZA, Iran, Israel, libertarianism, Middle East, Military, Propaganda, The West, War

NEW ESSAY is “Why Iran Should Go Heavy On Israel, And Spare The US & Gulf States + VIDEO.” It is a leading feature on The Unz Review, home to those who’ve been dissident writers and thinkers from day one.

Excerpt:

I’m thinking that Iran should have—could still—go heavy on Israel, but not on their neighbors. And not on the US. The reasons I say this are as follows:

First the US: Iran cant’s significantly hurt the United States of America. It’s obvious.

Our Epstein Elites, running their mouths and running the war, are impervious to morality, decency; to fairness, and to the costs of their unending, insatiable aggression. (The crime of aggression is considered the supreme crime in international law. The natural law and libertarian law are agreed.)

Over time, the US Epstein Elites have accrued wealth and power so obscene, so ill-gotten that they are able to have a say over the livelihoods and lives of their subjects, stateside and the world over. Wars and catastrophic events serve as ruses through which power is centralized. Of note is the consolidation of power and wealth that COVID afforded these elites. (More about the precedent-setting violations of individual rights in my book about Deep Tech, Deep Pharma and the Aberrant Economy.) Covid and genocide. Genocide was Trump’s gateway crime.

Yes, we are subjects of the Israeli-American Epstein Elites. And nothing will sway the Orange Entity, his formal accomplices stateside, nor his unofficial accomplices, Trump’s Jewish-Israeli billionaire handlers. Nothing. Nonchalantly, Bibi’s bitch told America that he anticipates losing American men in his war of choice on Iran (for Israel). The price is worth it, he suggested.

In the service of Israel, American lives are Trump’s to dispatch. These are Goyim, as Epstein and friends refer to non-Jews. So what does Trump care if the shiksas mourn the Goyim. (Shiksa is a non-Jewish girl or woman. It’s the female for Goy, and it is as offensive.)

The same goes for the Democrats. I don’t have to tell you that Genocide Joe and all his Democrats—from AOC to Pelosi—smoothed the way in normalizing genocide in Gaza, “because Israel.”

As ugly as this reality is; The US Epstein Elites, our overlords, are too big, too evil, too resolute to be subject to influence or pain. They’re untouchable, impervious. They’re not subject to the ordinary schedules of reinforcement and punishment to which even Europe’s and England’s Epstein Elites have reacted. There was residual shame expressed in resignations and attempted suicides that took place across The Pond.

America’s Epstein Class has no shame. It thrives, in power, independent of the influence of ordinary folks like you and me. We appear incapable of dislodging the Class that rules us.

So, Iran is wasting time and scarce resources in trying to punish Little Satan (America). Am I biased? Of course. Naturally, I don’t want Iranians to punish our hapless soldiers, my countrymen, even though the patient Iranians are well within their right to so do.

I come now to the Gulf States, which Iran is pummeling—and not only US installations, but facilities and installations across the region:

I say this with weary contempt: When it comes to the elites of the Persian Gulf countries; it’s literally the case of, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Yes, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait, etc., they host US forces and all the support structure of war. But they are puppet states, vassals. They are in thrall to the Anglo-American-Israeli axis. Intractably so.  … ”

UPDATE: 3/21: Looting, trashing Lebanon. Hmm. Where have we seen this before?

Sadly, IDF, a citizens’ army, have a get-out-of-jail card READY.

The narrative among American conservatives is “Shame, they are brainwashed.”
Wrong! Israel has a robust, and privately owned media. It caters to PUBLIC DEMAND.

Israel is one of the most WiFi-ed societies in the world. It’s a high-tech society; every Israeli has access to corrective feedback, to information.

Beware. Infantilize and disease innate evil—and you’ll get A LOT MORE OF IT. Coming to your shores.

ESSAY+VIDEO: By Admitting to Only 70K Dead And Disappeared In Gaza; Israel Is Haggling, Pleading Out, Copping to A Lesser Charge

Every common criminal and serial offender knows the tactic. Israel is copping a plea. Its pleading to a lesser charge. The ‘genocidal entity’ knows full well that the number of murdered (and maimed) in Gaza is many, many times higher. So, Israel cops to what is, in reality, the lesser charge. ~ilana 

To date, about 12 percent of Gaza’s population has been murdered, disappeared or detained. ~ilana 

NEW ESSAY IS “By Admitting to Only 70K Dead And Disappeared In Gaza; Israel Is Haggling, Pleading Out, Copping to A Lesser Charge.” Read the entire piece on The Unz Review, the uncompromising home of dissident writers from day one.

And, now on IlanaMercer.com

Excerpt:

In the lexicon of crime, what Israel is currently doing is called plea bargaining. Israel is copping to a lesser charge with respect to the number of Palestinians dead and disappeared by its death squads in Gaza.

Nothing if not cunning, the Israelis know just how reliably compliant the West’s pundits are. At least those who did time in mainstream media. As an example take the celebration among some self-styled independent media of the fact that Israel’s military now admits that 70,000 souls were murdered in Gaza.

The “genocidal entity” knows full well that the number of murdered (and maimed) Ghazzawi is many times higher. So, Israel cops to what is, in reality, the lesser charge. Every common criminal and serial offender knows the tactic.

Moron media fail to comprehend that Israeli leadership is copping to a lesser charge with the intent to sustain Israel’s international impunity.

What the dumb, non-dissident media is doing is being itself. Reflexively, it is offering Israel a plea bargain in advance. “You can’t fix stupid,” said one Texas funny man. “There is not a pill you can take or a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.”

On top of that, since Israelis keep killing and destroying as the fancy takes them; the 70,000 plea-bargained figure, readily accepted by the Israeli perpetrators who are still on the lam, is no longer valid. Even that erroneous undercount, reported by CNN too, is outdated. Late in December of 2025, OCHA had counted 70,668; Haaretz 71,000. 

In fact, as far back as June 26, 2025, Nir Hasson, writer for Haaretz, announced that, “Yes, in Gaza about 100,000 human beings were already killed.” Later, in the Hebrew edition of July 18, Haaretz featured an op-ed by a “University of London” expert in the assessment of the casualties of “war” (“genocide is not war”), who  admitted that “Yes, in Gaza about 100,000 human beings had already been killed.”

After that, on November 25, 2025, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) proclaimed that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza likely exceeded 100,000. While their underestimation is already invalid for obvious reasons; at least the “great” scientific minds of the Max Planck Institute understand that the situation in Gaza is … fluid. 

With the pomp of officialdom, the MPIDR and the Centre for Demographic Studies (CED) had proffered that the death toll in Gaza, which this lot appears to attribute to the inchoate forces of “armed conflict and political instability,” will keep rising and life expectancy will continue to sharply decline. 

How does one even respond? An inelegant Dah? An eye roll? I’ll go one better:

Why don’t we all settle down and wait for the “legitimate” Piers Moron Media, in their infinite wisdom, to remind us that the “evidence” in Gaza has yet to be carefully bagged and tagged, and that before the serial-killer state can be named and implicated in the homicide of hundreds-of-thousands of Palestinians; fingerprints must be lifted from each and every corpse.

More seriously, one might inform the misguided simpleton media and the MPIDR that their belated undercounts were preceded by others like them months ago. …”

Those involved in these foreign-policy drives honestly believe that to be American or Israeli is the existential Gold Standard. Lowly humanity is a pilgrim en route to the Promised Land, whether they know it or not —sometimes by hook or crook. Ultimately, the lives of all the Others being roused to revolt are just not worth much until they “arrive.” ~ilana

(It’s useful to have someone who has a facility with higher Hebrew, especially when the Hebrew motto is hidden or embedded in graphics.)

Excerpt:

“… According to the twinned belief-systems of Jewish supremacy and American exceptionalism; all ‘good,’ ‘happy’ human beings are either those who are like Americans or like Israelis, or en route to becoming clones of the one or the other.

Those involved in these foreign-policy drives honestly believe that to be American or Israeli is the existential Gold Standard. Lowly humanity is a pilgrim en route to the Promised Land, whether they know it or not —sometimes by hook or crook. Ultimately, the lives of all the Others being roused to revolt are just not worth much until they “arrive.”

As to their deep involvement in inciting regime-change riots in Iran: News tidbits to that effect have come to us directly via the Israelis themselves.

By now you know that Israel is “amoral,” it acts outside the laws of both man and God. By now you know that bursts of pride accompany Israeli barbarity. As is often the case, Israelis and their media openly report their crimes. And they are especially proud to be inciting regime-change in Iran. On the ground.

Take the X account titled “Mossad Farsi.” So nauseatingly audacious in content is it, that I doubted its authenticity.

In sickeningly sugared tweets, “Official Mossad in Farsi” and its bots (the programmed, online Artificial Intelligence responders or Israel’s paid lickspittles) profess the love Israelis have for the largely pro-Palestinian Iranians.

These are the same Israelis, still mid-murder in Gaza and the West bank, who were posting and celebrating imagery of murdered Palestinians with the flesh hanging on their bones in ribbons. That amoral Israel is now “loving on” the Iranians, a people who have generally resisted for Palestine.

Filled with love, “Mossad Farsi” has been loud and proud about its role in attempting to break the Islamic Republic. Here is the Mossad Farsi tweet that got world attention. Dated December 29,  it reads as follows: “Let’s come out to the streets together. The time has come. We are with you. Not just from afar and verbally, we are with you in the field as well.” …

Speaking in unison, Israeli media—Channel 14,  i24, Israel Hayom, and others, no doubt—confirmed the authenticity and impetus of this account. In identically scripted messages, all outlets announced that a “Mossad X account in Farsi urges Iranians to protest as unrest sweeps the country.”

The criminal Svengali Bibi tips the nose toward Iran (allegedly), in a December 29 meeting at Mar-a-Lago, and Trump runs. “Fetch,” says Netanyahu to a pack of dreadful American curs, and they fetch. …
