Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Feb 14, 2023
There is what passes for a sick joke among those who watch the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians with increasing shock over what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his thugs have been allowed to get away with. It goes something like this: Israel has succeeded in killing or driving out the remaining three million or so Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza, describing them as “terrorists.” President Joe Biden, his cabinet and virtually all of Congress respond afterwards by saying how the move was unfortunate but “Israel has a right to defend itself.”
Such is the power of Israel as manifested through its Lobby in the US, and the saddest part of the joke is that it reflects quite likely exactly what would happen. The Palestinians have no constituency in the United States, where Israel and its friends rule the roost. But one of the real ironies of watching a genocide being carried out now in the twenty-first century is that the killers come from a group that constantly flaunts its claimed status as history’s perpetual victims. This duality is a convenience, to be sure, providing as it does immunity from its own crimes as it also escalates the criminal policies that might lead to the genocide of a whole category of potential “enemies.”
Israel’s new government, again headed by the monstrous Benjamin Netanyahu, has shifted hard to the right, incorporating as it does the extremist settlers’ movement as well as parties that have spoken casually of forcing the Palestinians out and even of extermination if it comes to that. Half of Israelis are comfortable with the Arabs having minimal civil rights even if they are Israeli citizens and many accept the desirability of forced expatriation of the Palestinians to neighboring states like Jordan or Lebanon. Arab residents of Israel have only limited legal rights and, contrary to the US domestic Israel Lobby’s constant assertion that the Zionist entity is a “democracy,” Israel in reality became an apartheid state by law when it in 2018 declared itself to be legally the nation state of the Jews with “exclusive right of self-determination.”
More recently Netanyahu has made clear exactly what his government stands for. In late December, he stated that “the Jewish people have an exclusive and inalienable right to all parts of the Land of Israel. The government will promote and develop the settlement of all parts of the Land of Israel.” He was explicit that “all parts” was intended to include the West Bank and even Gaza, which have long been the presumed to be the basis of a future Palestinian state. With Washington’s support, they presumably will become part of Eretz Israel, which will stretch from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
To be sure, Israel and its powerful US lobby know very well that the constant claim of victimhood combined with labeling its perceived enemies as antisemites and holocaust deniers to discredit them is little more than a tool employed in part to excuse war crimes and human rights violations committed by the Israelis. In 2002 a former Israeli government minister Shulamit Aloni revealed in an interview how labeling a critic as an antisemite to discredit what is being is little more than “a trick.” She said “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticizing Israel, then they are antisemitic.” She added that there was an “Israel, my country right or wrong” attitude and “they’re not ready to hear criticism”. Antisemitism, the holocaust and “the suffering of the Jewish people” are used to “justify everything we do to the Palestinians.”
Indeed, there is every indication that Prime Minister Netanyahu will be taking a much harder line not only with the Palestinians, but as well with its foreign “enemies” the Syrians, Iranians and Lebanese. And there is every sign that he has drawn the United States into his web. President Joe Biden, a self-declared Catholic “Zionist”, is politically too weak to take on the Israel Lobby even if he wanted to, and he has in any event surrounded himself with Zionist Jews as a foreign policy and national security team that would consider any weakening of ties with Israel to be unimaginable. Quite the contrary. Jewish power in the US demands unconditional military, financial and diplomatic support for Israel, even as its government moves to the right and becomes more dangerous regionally, threatening to involve the United States in new wars. Seemingly blind to what is developing, the US last month proceeded with the largest wargames ever involving the Jewish state. The games simulated an attack on Iran and could be a model for a series of pointless conflicts initiated by the more hawkish Israeli government.
And there is almost certainly much more to come, including a bill in the Knesset that will make it nearly impossible for Arab citizens to organize political parties. The new government in Israel has also placed police under the control of ultra-nationalist Jewish Power party head Itamar Ben-Gvir as National Security Minister. He is exploiting his position to already call for a war to destroy Hamas in Gaza. Meanwhile, the shoot to kill policy vis-à-vis Palestinians has increased the number of deaths already in 2023, totaling twelve on January 25th and 26th alone when a refugee camp at Jenin on the West Bank was raided by the army and two teenagers elsewhere were shot dead. Another shooting a week later took 5 Palestinian lives. Many more Palestinians were wounded in all the army attacks and the Israelis, as is their practice, routinely deny them any access to medical help. The army’s Chief of Staff has declared that its policy on using firearms will not be changed in spite of the large number of civilian deaths. Israeli soldiers and policemen who kill Palestinians, who are routinely described as “terrorists,” are almost never investigated or prosecuted and have been, in some cases, praised in the media and promoted.
And Ben-Gvir is not the only fanatic who has surfaced as a worrisome character in the new government. Another is Bezalel Smotrich, the leader of the Religious Zionism party and now finance minister, who has called for Israel’s annexation of the entire West Bank and the imposition of citizenship requirements that would make Jewishness a prerequisite for inclusion.
Smotrich’s party aspires to make Israel a theocracy governed by the racist Talmud, and both he and Ben-Gvir have support the expulsion of Arabs who fail to agree that “the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people.” Smotrich has stated that his immediate plans include authorizing dozens of new and completely illegal West Bank outposts to include continuing the demolition of what he claims are unauthorized Palestinian homes there. Smotrich is also enthusiastically racist when it comes to the Palestinians, asserting that new Jewish mothers in hospitals should be separated from new Palestinian mothers. “[My wife] would not want to sleep next to someone who just gave birth to a baby who might want to murder her baby in twenty years.”
Zvika Fogel, another prominent right wing Israeli member of parliament, has called for genocide in his promotion of a “final war” against the Palestinians to “subdue them once and for all,” saying in an interview that Israel’s policy of going to war with Palestinians “every two or three years” was no longer good enough and that there should be one last war to “subdue them once and for all. It would be worth it because this will be the final war…”
Home demolitions, property seizures, checkpoints and other round the clock harassment of Palestinians also are increasing in frequency as the Israelis accelerate their expansion into areas that are nominally Palestinian. Palestinians who marry foreigners are not allowed to enter the country with their spouses while the Palestinian flag has now been declared illegal. The possibility that the Arabs will stage a general uprising increases daily, leading to more demands from some Israelis that remaining Palestinian centers of resistance be utterly destroyed.
To be sure, many young Jewish Israelis have recently been demonstrating against their own government’s shift rightwards. And in the United States many liberal Jews are concerned at developments, though they are critical of what is happening for all the wrong reasons. An increasing number of American Jews believe that Israel is indeed an apartheid state and that its treatment of the Palestinians is inhumane to say the least. But they, at the same time, oppose doing anything to punish the Israeli government to make it draw back from its most brutal and dangerous policies. They argue that the Netanyahu government is risking a confrontation with the US government, and the Jewish community will splinter over Israeli human rights abuses, weakening political support in Washington for a strong and enduring relationship with the Jewish state. In a sense the power of the Jewish diaspora both in the US and elsewhere thereby becomes the enabler of Israeli bad behavior even as it disapproves of what is taking place.

This stuff is totally boring it has been covered time and again by concerned jews.
This is also a jewish trick.
Alfred Lilienthal covered it in the Zionist Connection.Did it make any difference?.Of course not….
So the time has come to stop jews from being their own opposition….it obviously doesnt work DOES IT.
Time to circulate lists of all the top jews who rule Washingstein and New York…..not to mention Hollywood.
How many people would know that Jennifer Aniston and Bwad Pitt are both Jews…or Angelina Jolie for that matter.
These articles like this one are complete wate of time….lets not have anymore of them….UNLESS the hollowcost is mentioned as a fraud…..which it obviously is.
Three or four heads on the oush wits picture have been added, and I think it is a still from a Commie Russian film in the first place. No need to fake pictures of the Jews’ victims, though
Dr David Cohen was being interviewed on conspiracy TV about 3 years back
and talking about the holocaust
the interviewer asked him is it true that rothschild rules the world through finance
Of course said Cohen
Then asked the interviewer “why did e not stop the holocaust and stop 6 million going up the chimney”
and Cohen replied
” because it never happened”
People have said before that under cover of a major war the Israelis will murder many Palestinians. It’s unlikely they’ll kill them all, not because they don’t want to but because if there are no Palestinians left it’s clear the Jews have holocausted them all; but if some are left alive they can claim the rest have fled.
Well, as they say in Ohio, “We are all East Palestinians now… “
.
Look at the Auschwitz people on the picture, they look well nourished, it’s a trick about the gas. However they had to work, something that the cabale hate. Mine uncle was there and worked on the fields around, heavy working so he got a double meal. That was the rule for heavy working prisoners.
“….weakening political support in Washington for a strong and enduring relationship with the Jewish state….” That’s it – that’s the problem. The accursed “strong and enduring relationship” with Israel is at the root of Israeli’s permission from the U.S. government to apply aggression when and where it desires. Of course it also extends U.S. imperialism into the middle east as a by-product.

Bob is thinking so wrong. This must have a reason : he wants to protects the jews.
Some news of this short new year 2023 showing what is happening in Israel :
https://israelpalestinenews.org/israeli-soldiers-kill-a-young-man-injure-seven-amir-bastami/
The Israeli military invaded Nablus yet again, killing Palestinian Amir Bastami, injuring several others, arresting two, and tear gassing dozens. So far in the first 43 days of this year, Israel has killed 46 Palestinians
https://israelpalestinenews.org/5-more-deaths-in-israel-palestine-3-palestinians-2-israelis/
Five more tragic deaths in Israel-Palestine. As Palestinian anger grows against Israeli forces that have killed 45 people so far this year, demolished 34 Palestinian homes, conducted over 1,500 raids on Palestinian spaces, arrested 638 Palestinians, destroyed olive trees, shot at fishermen, and continue to hold 4,700 political prisoners
https://israelpalestinenews.org/israeli-army-kills-a-palestinian-youth-in-nablus-hamza-al-ashqar/
Israeli forces killed teenager Hamza Al-Ashqar as they were leaving after a raid on the Palestinian city of Nablus. He is the 42nd Palestinian to be killed by Israel in 2023.
https://israelpalestinenews.org/israel-committed-3532-human-rights-violations-against-palestinians-in-january/
Israeli violence made January 2023 the bloodiest month for West Bank Palestinians in 8 years – including murders, injuries, land theft, building demolitions, and more. 7 Israelis have also been killed.
https://israelpalestinenews.org/israeli-forces-kill-palestinian-father-of-newborn-with-a-bullet-to-the-chest/
Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint shot Abdullah Samih Ahmad Qalalwa, age 25, in the chest, then denied him medical assistance. Their reasons for attacking him are implausible.
@Bob Sacamento, unlike Lilienthal, Geraldi is Christian, and a patriot who’s been exposing the detrimental Jewish influence on US politics for years, as well as the illegal Zionist state established on stolen Palestinian land, it’s an insult for someone like him to be compared to some Paedowood whores and poofs, unless you have irrefutable evidence he is a crypto-Joo as you’re suggesting…

The Jews want a final solution for all of humanity, not just Palestine.
Mark Glenn tells you why (http://qodsna.com/en):
Qodsna: Many Israeli experts and media do not have a positive view of the possible future Netanyahu’s cabinet. What’s your idea about it?
Mark Glenn: Now that the elections are over, it is obvious that what Netanyahu has assembled is not a ‘cabinet’ but a WAR PARTY. He has brought together the most feral, racist, violent, deranged and dangerous individuals within Israel’s political class and has done all of this with the aim of launching war in the MIddle East and fulfilling all the ‘prophecies’ upon which the Jewish state is founded, wherein the Jews invade and steal everything between the Nile and Euphrates rivers. Just today, Itamar Ben Gvir, a devout worshiper of the violent Jewish supremacist Meir Kahane, announced he would be visiting the Temple Mount soon, and we all know what the results of that are destined to be.
Therefore, look for something dramatic and TRAUMATIC to take place, especially in America, some magnificent terrorist attack along the same lines as the Mossad- engineered events of 9/11 as the ‘spark’ which the feral Jews intend to use in getting this major war started.
Qodsna: What are the most important internal problems of the Zionist regime and why are these problems constantly increasing?
Mark Glenn: Israel from the very beginning was an unstable ‘state’ and for the simple reason that the Jews as a group are a mentally unstable people. Whereas the rest of the world is living in the 21st century AD the followers of Judah-ism however are living in the 21st century BC. They adhere to a backwards ideology that pits them against all non-Jews whom they consider to be ‘donkeys’ (as stated a few years ago by Israel’s then chief Sephardic Rabbi Ovadia Yosef) and as such, are as incapable of creating a functioning political system as a chimpanzee could build an automobile.
From the very beginning of this endeavor in attempting to create a ‘Jewish state’ back before the arrival of both Jesus and Mohammed, PBUT, all attempts on the part of the ‘children of Israel’ to create a viable, functioning political system failed due to the inherent dysfunctionality/mental incapacitation of the people themselves, and it is no different today. As I like to remind people, the ‘Jewish state’ represents the largest mental asylum in human history.”

Now that is some funny understatements of the century:
“Israel from the very beginning was an unstable ‘state’ and for the simple reason that the Jews as a group are a mentally unstable people. ”
“As I like to remind people, the ‘Jewish state’ represents the largest mental asylum in human history.”
and think, those asylum inmates run Amerika
what could possibly go wrong? LOLRFL

East Palestine disaster is the worst ecological disaster in USA history and look who is in charge of the mess:
Gay fudgepacker “mom” Pete ButtEgg. who is running for president.
There is a song that is factual by Rammstein known as Azure and Israel has made it unavailable in any format. Since when do we not have the write to free speech to anything but the Jews. This is idiotic.

MAN DELIVERS EPIC SMACKDOWN OF SCHOOL BOARD AFTER THEY REFUSE CONCERNED CITIZENS THEIR 1ST AMENDMENT
These people has stated that their anti-semitism is a lie on PBS. They are a hive mind and Bobby Fischer doesn’t consider them human but anti-human. Jews themselves consider themselves a different species above man as cattle as cattle are above insects.
Either fight or die. How in the hell did these cryptos and Jews of ANY brand name as Sephardic Jews are every bit as sick as Ashkenazi. I’ve know the facts of the impossibility for 40 years as mathematics, science, human behavior and the idiotic tripe of these people of perpetual lies are now too much as WEF Jews consider themselves GOD. They don’t even believe that they even come from the same source or creator. No more. Anyone that has survived the holohoax and is not on the list of 283K should have their families wiped out from this earth from the time their liars wiped out many countries people regardless of faith. Their religion is based on blood and burnt offerings of live people and animals. This is neanderthal at best. Anyone that believes this garbage of pure evil is not fit to walk the earth and anyone that believes in the Holohoax and those Freemason must be eradicated or this earth has a very very short time for survival.
Most Jews love this stuff. They hate the Palestinians almost as much as they hate Aryans.
They get off on this kind of suffering or at least have no sympathy whatsoever for them.
This is much greater than the general apathy to suffering found among many peoples.
That is why nothing ever changes. Imagine if they all refused to go to Synagogue?
Fat chance. Before MK + Injections Millions of even lib-turd Whites marched.
Now the Injections and Mind Kontrolle is fully in they are ready for Part 2.
Brace yourselves to find out who their “god” really is. I do mean that.
Not just Palestinians (and isn’t it strange that a town in Ohio named after Palestine was poisoned so-to-speak?). Talmudic Jewry (such as Chabad Lubavitch) has been trying to genocide all gentiles since…well, for many years. It’s in the Talmud! After all, Talmudic rabbis and rebbis think they are gods, literally, and even supposedly beat God in some “debate” within the Talmud. Either genocide, or enslavement, the “2800 slaves per Jew” Talmudic crap. No wonder they are also called the Synagogue of Satan! “Those who say they are Jews and are not, but are of the Synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, given to the apostle John by Christ)
When 5 dancing jews video-taping the OH doomsday crash were almost arrested (cops backed off immediately when it turned out they were friendly talmudists), their response was
we are Israelis, we are not your problem, East Palestinians are your problem
