Zionists Attempt to Silence Even Their Own Dissident Politicians
As with every major human issue of world import, if one is a real truth-seeker, they know not to ever rely solely for whatever may be gleaned from politicians, who either already are intellectually limited in their scope of understanding, or ideologically compromised by their political affiliations biased levels of understanding.
Neither can one rely for the truth on the minions of the mainstream media’s ‘talking head’s’ and newscasters, who generally read from prepared scripts or teleprompters written by unknown parties and placed before them, from which their dutifully expected to read verbatim, as if they were puppets.
However, one such truth-seeker in the war in Gaza is Dr. Ofer Cassif, an elected representative of the Arab-Jewish Communist Party’s Democratic Front for Peace and Equality of the Hadish-Taal Party coalition within Israel’s Knesset.
Dr. Cassif recently was ordered suspended from office for 45 days by the Knesset Ethics Committee for daring to speak truth-to-power, and call Israel’s IDF Defense Forces “fascists”, as what, in point of fact, they are.
Dr. Cassif bravely accused Israel’s Zionist forces of carrying out annexation-oriented subjugation ethnic-cleansing plans against Israel’s Palestinian population; with the intent of then violently banishing (euphemistically referred by Zionists as transferring) those Palestinians not yet exterminated, to Egypt’s Sinai desert and points beyond; with no rights to ever again return.
Dr. Cassif was specifically suspended for detailing the genocidal implications of Israel’s Zionist Minister of Finance Bezalel Smorich’s “subjugation plan” now being implemented in the aftermath of October 7. Smorich, Israel’s Minister of Finance, is famous for having uttered to all those he collectively considers his enemies,
“I am not talking with you, anti-Zionists, terror-sympathizers, enemies. You’re here by mistake, because [Israel’s first Prime Minister David] Ben-Gurion didn’t finish the job and didn’t throw you out in 1948. That’s the truth, that’s the truth. I have no dialogue with you at all.”
These sentiments could also be widely said to be those of other Ministers among Netanyahu’s Zionist government.
By his own blunt, telling-it-like-it-is, admission, Smorich let the cat-out-of-the-bag when he admitted the clear, unequivocal, intent and objective of the Zionists, all along, since the very beginning of their invasion of Palestinian territories back in 1948, and half-a-century even before that, was to physically throw the Palestinian peoples totally out of their own homelands, without so much as a “by your leave”.
From the beginning of their occupation of Palestine, the Zionist’s have resolutely opposed the formation of a Palestinian State and continue to do so to this day. In point of fact, the Zionists still contend the Palestinians should only actually have three options: immediately leave Palestine/Israel with no right to return; accept total marshal rule as subjects under Zionism’s fascist state and its military courts, or; continue to militarily resist, be defeated and ultimately killed. End of story.
But Israel’s allies in the Western World, especially every America’ President right up to present day President Biden’s administration, as well as virtually the entire elected body of the U.S. Congress, as well as other Western powers, have not only all been consciously aware of Israel’s harsh, un-democratic rule of law from the very beginning, but they all have financially-supported, as well as militarily-defended the Zionist’s racist, ethnic cleansing policies; as they once all did for Hitler and his fascist government and others like Benito Mussolini and his National Fascist Party. It would seem that in the hard-nosed, rough-and-tumble world of modern geo-politics, what goes around comes around and forever repeats itself.
One could further argue that in the 21st century, President Biden now is the new Benito Mussolini and the Republican and Democratic Party’s the new ‘Black Shirts’, ready to once more back to the hilt the Netanyahu and his Zionists against whatever their mutually collective ‘enemies’ – the Islamist Palestinians, their allies in the Arab world or whomever. Another geo-political truism, it would seem, is that the more things change the more they remain the same.
Meanwhile, still other of Israel’s Zionist Ministers, like the ultra-nationalist Otema Yehudit, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Givr, continues to support illegal, militarized outposts in the occupied West Bank; while ordering the purchase of 10,000 Israeli-made assault rifles, with an additional 10,000 assault rifles promised by the Biden administration, with which to further arm the illegally-occupying colonial-settler militias in Palestine’s occupied territories. Throughout this on-going turmoil, Israel’s other Likud Party Ministers and their rabid followers are also said to equally be to the right of “Attila the Hun”, Israel’s Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu himself.
This is the right-wing buzz saw that Ofer Cassif dared to walk into when he offered to Israel’s Knesset his candid attempt to speak-truth-to-power; while adding,
“As we all know from George Orwell, the more a society clings to lies, the more it hates truth speakers. That’s a criticism of what’s going on in Israel, not me just flattering myself – to be clear. But it is true, according to international law, what Israel has been doing is a war crime.”
Dr. Cassif boldly goes on to say,
“Israel has been conducting a very viscous and lethal occupation for years. Israel holds millions and millions of Palestinians with no basic rights.
They don’t have any basic rights like freedom of movement or freedom of speech, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.
If Palestinians resist in any way, they are tried in a military court and subjected to harsh, punitive military law, whereas Israeli’s who live as settlers in the West Bank are subjected to civil laws and courts.
That’s apartheid. In the last few years, and especially under the current government (the Likud Party of Benjamin Netanyahu’s dictatorial rule), the malice of the occupation has grown stronger and deeper. And, of course, there is the siege on Gaza for the last 16 years.”
