Giving Israel the green light

 

My mind goes back to Azhar Ali who got thrown out of the Labour Party for saying, just after Oct 7
" .....that massacre, that gives them the green light to do whatever they bloody want."

Two years later .... “Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds”.

That was what “they” wanted.  Netanyahu et al made it plain at the outset, their only solution was to be the Final Solution.  They’d had 70+ years of trying to drive the Palestinians from their land and repressing the ones who remained.
It was a summation of two generations of vengeance on the natives for being there.

As the IDF spokesman said at the time, “we’re focused on what causes maximum damage” The intention was to raze the place and all within it.


This has had the approval of the population.   A video emerged of Israeli soldiers sexually torturing a Palestinian prisoner.   The torturers were arraigned and imprisoned pending trial.  A mob stormed the jail and released them.  The authorities dropped the charges.  The offenders were celebrated in appearances on tv shows.

I’ve seen videos of Israelis bussed in to border crossings where they set up a road block in front of relief convoys trying to enter Gaza.  They hold parties and barbecues across the road as the IDF treat them sociably and they stop food going in to the starving.

Trips around the bay are held, so citizens can have the entertainment of watching the firework show of death and destruction being wrought on Gaza from a boat.

Israel as a nation has gone kill crazy.  It has ceased to be a civilised nation.

I’ve talked to soldiers who’ve been in combat.  I’ve read memoirs of soldiers who’ve been on the front line,  back to the first world war.  All talk with respect about their adversaries, their courage.
 I see vids of Ukrainian soldiers talking about the Russians and their respect for them as soldiers.  Likewise vids of Russians talking about the Ukrainians they faced.

These are all men with a profound common experience.  Kill or be killed.
Respect for their enemy is part of valour to them.

I see vids of IDF soldiers.  They are “fighting” a defenceless enemy.  There is no valour for them.
Here they’re having a sing song.

They’re keeping morale up by singing they’re going to wipe everyone out. "There are no uninvolved civilians."
It’s a debasement of humanity.


Israel never had  much balance.  e.g. Norman Finkelstein, some years ago, pointing this out

Recently Israel attacked six countries in six days.  This endless spree of killing, on which it has embarked, has to be stopped.
If it completes its genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, it will make such a hole in humanity the world will not recover.

The only solution to this kind of popular view

has to be that Israel is reduced to the state of Germany in 1945. The survivors can have a think about where their madness led them.

 The only country capable of doing that is Iran.  I don’t know if it has the ordnance but .....
It will have to be done so quickly that the USA,  Israel’s sponsor in materiel and economic support, will not have time to respond and will be faced with nothing left to support.  It may rethink its response to Iran.

Iran is going to get flattened in the near future if it doesn’t act before.  As soon as Israel feels it’s sorted Gaza, it will attack Iran. The US will go with it.  It’s no secret.
