Middle East Conflict

Netanyahu is breaking both the Geneva and Vienna conventions on war. Yet industrial scale gaslighting is taking place to make us think we can't believe what we are seeing.

How dare Blinken go full Scouser with his "Everyone has forgot about Hammas" comments.

I rate blinken but he was out of fucking order yesterday
 


I kinda feel bad for Blinken the most. He seems like a decent man caught in the middle of crazy ideologues overseeing a “plausible” genocide…
 
IDF and Shin Bet have gone rogue (in violation of Israeli law) if these reports are accurate (and there is reason for them to not consult with Netanyahu and Gallant before carrying out the strikes, so this is not difficult to believe).

The far-right has slowly taken over the leadership of both the Israeli military and sections of Mossad and Shin Bet, so this would honestly not surprise me.

No doubt Netanyahu will come out shortly to say he was consulted and approved the killings.

Netanyahu not consulted on killing of Haniyeh's sons, Israeli media say​


JERUSALEM, April 11 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in an air strike in Gaza without consulting senior commanders or political leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli media reported on Thursday.

Quoting senior Israeli officials, Walla news agency said neither Netanyahu nor Defence Minister Yoav Gallant had been told in advance of the strike, which was coordinated by the Israeli military and the Shin Bet intelligence service.

 
Group A fighting for land that used to belong to them 2000 years ago
Group B fighting for land that their parents and grandparents grew up in

In any other situation the world would be behind Group B. To not be would seem illogical and crazy.

If group As claim to land is based on a book written a few thousand years ago, by unknown folk, based upon folk tales and written for their times not ours, then they are fucking morons. Especially if they then spend millions digging holes in the desert trying to find “proof” of said talk tales.

And the rate of illegal land annexation, forced displacement, and state-sanctioned (and very often supported) settler violence will only increase the longer the far-right regime remains in power.

It is very troubling to me that the majority of Israelis (and the current intensifying protests) are not concerned with these actions and increasingly codified policies. Unfortunately, it is another example of how insidious and deeply-seated Kahanist and extremist Zionist ideology has become in Israel.

This is, by the way, an indirect form of genocide under clause B and C from Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

This is why I find the demonization of Netanyahu to be very hollow if not disingenuous. Are religious zionists the main drivers of this occupation and apartheid? Sure, but they would not be able to do it alone without a tactic acceptance by secular Jews and “liberal” zionists.

Whoever replaces Netanyahu will not have policies different from his and there is a better chance a full blown fascist from the Ben-Gvir/Smotrich camp being a PM than some peacenik on the left/center left if they still exist in Israel.

I learned in the responses to one of his earlier unhinged tweets that he was the man who bore responsibility for the Qana massacre.

What is with Israeli leaders and massacres? Sharon springs to mind immediately. Did it begin with Begin and his past? How many future candidates are earning their stripes overseeing the current massacres?

Talking of chequered pasts .....

Bennett has always been far-right leaning masquerading as a secular right politician sympathetic to religious Jews but as of late he has been showing himself to not only be another fascist megalomaniacal murder, but a true idiot, in every sense of the word.

This passage from the tweet you have linked is a perfect example of what I mean:

“October 7th is as if savages with machetes tore down the screens of The Truman Show and we saw the barbarism hiding behind those tenuous facades.”

It is a self-own narrative simile.

The fact he was PM at one time is as much an indictment of where Israeli society has gone as Netanyahu still being in power now. In some ways they are both symptoms of the same problem which has swept across Europe and the US.
