While the US and Europe lecture the world about morality, human rights, and freedom, and while the Arab and Muslim nations are descending into an abyss of oppression, corruption, religious and sectarian violence, and the squandering of billions of dollars on armaments that enrich American and European coffers, like an anaconda, Israel, America and Europe’s darling, is systematically and brutally carrying on with its brutal systemic, constricting, and peristaltic policies of ruining the lives of millions of Palestinians and stealing their lands.
All this while Gulf Arab Sheiks continue to supinely sleep with Israel, buying its technology to spy on their own citizens so as to oppress them, and, while the senile and corrupt Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian President-for-life, recently cleaned the shishme (shit house) on his visit to Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s house, Israel continues to execute its 79 year plan to ethnically cleanse Palestine of her indigenous population, to create an Apartheid system where Kristallnachts are a daily phenomenon orchestrated by the Israeli Army in cahoots with murderous Jewish settlers in daily orgies of targeted killings, house demolitions, land confiscations, check points, and the destruction of farm lands.
Ya Mahmoud, did you, on your way out of Benny’s house, polish his shoes and kiss his posterior to placate Anthony Blinken’s gift of paltry US dollars whose sole purpose is to maintain the status quo?
Don’t believe me?
Read the following news reports gleaned from the indefatigable Alison Weir’s If Americans Knew blog, one of the most reliable and versatile sources of news on Palestine/Israel.
The first five news reports are gleaned from the February 2/2022 to February 6/2022 postings.
The rest, published between 2/7/2022 to 2/10/2022, a mere 4 days of reporting, sheds light on the well-coordinated and extensive human rights abuses carried out by a government whose leader bragged about Killing Palestinians, and a country run by religious fanatics bent on using every means to steal Palestine, in her entirety.
Whether AIPIC (and all her siblings and offspring), bought American politicians, or Israel – like it or not, the last haven for the victims of Germany’s killing machine has become a war machine and cesspool of hatred, arrogance, and corruption with no regard for decency or respect for Palestinian lives or their olive trees, chopped to the tune of over 1 million trees since 1967.
Silly me – to think that the destruction of vegetation is ecocide on a massive scale!
For more in-depth reading, the reader is invited to log into Ms. Weir’s If Americans Knew blog. In addition to daily news reports from the cesspool known as the Middle East, videos, book reviews, maps, documents, documentaries, and so much more are available for those who wish to seek the truth. In short, If Americans Knew is a rare treasure trove for those who seek the truth.

2/6/2022: “The irony that Israel, which is a nuclear menace and major aggressor in the Middle East region, portrays itself as a victim of its neighbours [sic.] cannot be overstated. To legitimise [sic.] the state of permanent war, Israel sought early on to portray its citizens as actual or potential victims of wars and persecution inflicted by Palestinian resistance and Arab states, which in turn necessitated Israel’s use of permanent war and persecution as ‘retaliation.’”
I’ve chosen just 4 days of reporting (from 2/7/2022 to 2/10/2022,) that documents Nazi-like Israeli tactics (a mere 30 in total), many of which are carried out under the cover of darkness.
