“Everything will be decided by money” …”Should neighboring countries unite against us, we must respond by creating a world war.“
Al Quds Day this year is a day of mourning — not for Gazans so much as for ourselves.
Gazans and Palestinians — led by the miraculous Hamas resistance — can hold their heads high.
The lies about Hamas rapes and murders on their miraculous October 7th break out have finally been exposed: those who condemned Hamas owe an apology. As U.S. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson[1] noted,
“Hamas had every right to do what it did on October 7th.”
Despite being starved, tortured, raped, humiliated, and murdered in cold blood by depraved Jewish supremacists, Gazans — and all Palestinians — can take pride as a people who have so far survived the worst that evil can do to human beings.
Palestinians in Gaza physically survived decades of illegal incarceration and criminal deprivation of (supposedly guaranteed) adequate food, potable water and medical care while being under daily attack from land, sea and air. Palestinians survived because of their strong family and social bonds: a culture that sustained them through criminal, inhuman treatment that the world refused to condemn and, so far, has refused to sanction — despite having a contractual legal obligation to protect the human rights of those under Israel’s occupation.
We, watching, are the beaten down — the defeated who watch helplessly
- as people we love are raped, tortured humiliated and murdered — in our name;
- as our laws that are supposed to protect us all are trashed by our governments’ refusal to respect its obligations to protect the victims;
- as our elected officials make us all complicit in the depravity and horrors that we are watching.
The horrors are far from over; the worst is yet to come.
Israeli Zionist Jews (as opposed to Israel’s Palestinians) have not only made Gaza uninhabitable but they plan to steal it and its valuable resources (which they are already offering to Zionist Jews in the U.S. and Canada!)
Our elected leaders, who hold us hostage, are mute, afraid to sacrifice their careers if they stand up for our legal obligations against the power and money of the Zionist lobby.
We are doomed as a society as long as we allow the power of money to outweigh our honor, our legal obligations and our insistence on the most basic standards of human decency and human rights.
