“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ― Nelson Mandela
There are 120 members in the Israeli Knesset, but one man towers above them all. His name is Ofer Cassif, and he is, perhaps, the most despised man in Israel. His crime—if you can call it that—is that he put his moral convictions into practice by signing a petition in support of “the upcoming hearing at the International Court of Justice in The Hague”… “accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.” (Times of Israel) Here’s what he said:
“My constitutional duty is to Israeli society and all its residents, not to a government whose members and its coalition are calling for ethnic cleansing and even actual genocide.”
Naturally, Cassif’s comments have been universally condemned in Israel where some surveys show more than 80 percent of Israelis support the current military operation in Gaza. Also, a number of Cassif’s most strident critics have called for the ethics committee to remove him from the Knesset after he announced his intentions. (According to Israeli media: 70 members of the Knesset have already voted to remove Ofer as soon as Monday morning.) Even so, the beleaguered lawmaker has courageously withstood the blistering attacks and forged ahead with his righteous crusade.
The Jerusalem Post provided an example of the attacks on Ofer’s character by other members of the Knesset. Here’s what MK Oded Forer said:
“The treasonous words of MK Kasif can no longer be heard while the blood of our soldiers and citizens is crying out from the ground. MK Kasif, who was previously disqualified from running for the Knesset following a petition I submitted to the election committee, has chosen during the war to join one of the most destructive initiatives for the security of the State of Israel, and thus he supports the struggle of Hamas against Israel. He must soon find himself beyond the borders of the Knesset and preferably beyond the borders of the State of Israel. Israeli far-left lawmaker joins Gaza genocide lawsuit at ICJ” The Jerusalem Post
While MK Oded Forer’s opinion is not uncommon in Israel, it is widely disputed in the rest of the world where the vast majority of humanity feel that the IDF’s vicious rampage in Gaza is not just a ghastly and unjustifiable massacre of innocent civilians, but also stain on Israel’s reputation that will never be wiped clean. Add to that, the fact that the prosecution has compiled voluminous evidence that Israel’s actions in Gaza are “genocidal in character, as they are committed with the requisite specific intent… to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a part of the broader Palestinian national, racial and ethnical group.” The facts speak for themselves.
The truth is, it takes a real patriot to stand up to a raging mob and tell them ‘they’re wrong.’ And that is what Cassif has done. He has defended the defenseless and openly defied the fanatics and pychos who control the levers of state power. He even admitted as much when he said the following:
“Those who hurt the country and the people are the ones who led South Africa to turn to The Hague, not me and my friends.”
Bravo, Ofer. You are an inspiration to us all. Take a minute and watch this short clip of Cassif at a Palestinian protest delivering a powerful statement on human rights while the shots ring-out and tear gas can be seen wafting behind him. Tell me this guy doesn’t have balls of steel.
Israeli politician, Ofer Cassif, says he will provide evidence in support of South Africa/Palestine at the ICJ.
Every time I’ve seen Cassif demonstrate for Palestinians he’s almost always beaten up by Israeli police (Sheikh Jarrah May ‘21). Shin Bet may go after him this time. https://t.co/wZFLosX5Cb pic.twitter.com/ji4f4WvAno

Cassif: “All the world should know what is going on here. Do not support this neo-Nazi government.”
Here’s more from an article at The Times Of Israel:
Cassif is one of some 200 Israelis who are signing onto a petition of support for South Africa’s case, Ynet reports. In the petition, they say they wish to “add our voice as citizens of Israel to the claims…that South Africa submitted to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, in the hope that our voice will help reach a decision that will bring an immediate end to the war.” Israeli lawmaker signs petition supporting Hague genocide hearings on Gaza War, Times of Israel
It’s hard to image the threats, harassment and even physical violence Cassif and his allies are currently experiencing, and with no end in sight. After all, nations, like people, can go bonkers for long periods of time before ‘the ship rights itself’ and sanity is restored. Times like these require clear-eyed men whose views rest on a rock-solid moral foundation. Cassif appears to fill the bill to a “T”. Here he is again:
“When the government acts against society, the state, and its citizens, especially when it sacrifices them and commits crimes in their name on the altar of maintaining its existence, it is my right and even my duty to warn about this and do everything I can within the law to stop it.”
After which, he adds…
“I will not give up the fight for our existence as a moral society. This is true patriotism…”
Indeed, it is.
Funny how he suddenly develops a moral compass after decades of Nazi crimes, and I don’t care if he’s been on this for years, because he’s sat their on his hands, instead of walking out years ago.
If you’re a prospective UK MP and you make a clear statement before assuming your office, that you condem Israel and the British Nazi state for supporting genocide, then fair enough, but I doubt you’d become an MP, so all UK MPs are complicit in Israeli crimes.
Ofer Cassif has lost his never and panicked. Maybe he wants to travel in his retirement, if he lives that long.
You should be a little skeptical of these rogue Israelis.After all his actions make little or no difference……except to create the impression that not all jews are bullshitters and liars….which is true of course.
How about a campaign on the lies of the “olocaust”…..there are laws AGAINST this in Israel.Facts don’t need laws to protect them do they….
The “olocaust” lie has got the jews oodles of cash.Their navy has been funded by the lies.Hugely expensive Dolphin submarines were extracted from German taxpayers……freeeeeeeee….and goodness knows what else?.By all accounts an Israeli bus company was FOC …..
Blinken the crypto jew is doing the fake negotiation for America….and only because they’re getting blowback from Americans….Americans don’t want the involvement and they object to the ongoing war crimes.
…which is probably the REAL reason for the Ukraine war…..rather like the Vietnam War served as the distraction from Israel’s wars
So the public should not bother with this stuff it won’t make the slightest difference….guaranteed.
The fact of the matter is that governments/MSM have lied to the hilt, to their citizens, and it is extremely difficult for said citizens to come to know the truth. Thankfully, within a few years, all governments of this earth are going to be removed and the lies previously told, will be fully exposed and justice will reign.
“Israel” didn’t recently go bonkers. It was bonkers from its inception, has been bonkers to this day, and will continue to be bonkers. It’s bonkers because of the Talmud, and there’s no fixing that.

Just another Jew reading his script to validate the psyop that ‘Hamas attacked Israel’ on Oct 7. Is this Whitney guy another one of these ‘alternative media’ CIA plants like ritter, macgregor, johnson, turner, etc??
Remember, whites are supposed to care more about ‘freeing Palestine’ & liberating wogs then with liberating their own nations from alien Jewish-Commie-Christian control & ending the invasion/occupation of their lands by millions of simians & wogs.
I say that sure looks like a ‘white man’ there. So much for this Commie propaganda that Israelies or Yids are ‘white men’– looking at the head of this negroidal mongrel Semite.
Excellent…
So we can increase the quota of ‘good’ jewes…
To 4…
Very reassuring..
“The treasonous words of MK Kasif can no longer be heard while the blood of our soldiers and citizens is crying out from the ground.
The blood of innocent Palestinians can be heard worldwide and especially by God.
More reason for Palestinians to hang on to their land.
“Bravo, Ofer. You are an inspiration to us all.” Indeed!
BRAVO is right! Netanyahu has led Israel down a dark path, but God has stood up at least one good man, and they would do well to keep him in government.
Cassif for prime minister! ( and I’m not even Israeli, but great story)
Mr Cassif, you are solid. You Sir have a soul and heart like no other. Sir, you care about all people and not just one genocidal tribe. May the Spirit God protect you from harm.
Indeed, imagine if 5% of the lame-sack retards called “Europeans”, had this stamina, there would not be a single shitter anywhere, no fake-jew bankers, NO TREASONOUS LAWYERS, almost no taxes, fuel efferent equipment using a 1/4 of the fuel they do today (yes, that is a fact, but if you don’t understand combustion it will seem impossible). And there would be no traitors, as they would be dealt with immediately.
Instead, there would be beautiful landscapes, towns, functional and solid families, communities and nations, there would be prosperity and heritage like we cannot even imagine. Simple and effective EQUITY COURTS doing their damn job at a minimal cost.
All this is 100% possible if people does ONE thing: UNITE WHITE.
“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.” — Robert F. Kennedy 1966 Speech, US Democratic Politician
its not only the Likud + 90% of fanatic israelis.
he is swimming against their stream . they only
would learn humbleness if deported to Birobidshan .
Was Mandela really afraid? I do not think so. He had many Jewish lawyers around him – and he was African.
chesterton
Don’t you know, that’s a ‘white man’ you’re looking at there.
Celine–
That’s not a ‘Semite’, that’s a ‘white man’.
The only ‘rogue jew’ who was worthy of respect was the American Bobby Fischer- he prevailed against the communist Boris Spassky in the 1972 world chess championship & criticized his people without fanfare. Fischer eventually isolated himself from his kind & from the earlier detriments to health & sanity that were being exposed before ‘conspiracy theory’ became riddled with phonies & know-it-alls of all stripes who cooperate knowingly or unknowingly with the antIChrist mentality & thereby confuse & blur any clarity of perception.
looks like a ‘white man’ to me
I am surprised more Jewish wogs don’t side with the Plasticstonkians, except that they pretend to for the White countries
Osmium is the most dense of all the Earth’s metals. A 12 inch by 12 inch cube of Osmium weighs approximately 96 stone (or about 1340 lbs or 610 kg,) which is the same weight as the 1959, Mark 1, Mini Cooper, or about half the weight of an adult female hippopotamus.
You couldn’t put a 12″ x 12″ cube of Osmium on your kitchen table, without the table collapsing.
“Balls of Steel” are inadequate to our times. Balls of Osmium suffice.
Uh, yeah, a Jew will morals, yeah, right – any Jew in Palestine is immoral, illegal, and a criminal. Jews need to get the hell out of Palestine and pay reparations.
And all Jews are delusional, first they are not real Jews and second the Old Testament is a fictional narrative, Abraham never existed. You can not be a child of Abrahman when that is myth formed from Hindu myth.
A Brahman = priest of Lord Brahma, a Hindu god. (and not real in any way)

Bible dupes believing myth to be real and acting on it by moving to Palestine to torture the natives is not moral in any way. To be moral, the Jew would have to renounce his faith and get the hell out.
He’s feigning outrage .The hearing at the Hague will be a charade, nothing will come of it . Who controls the Hague ? — the fox guards the hen house. There will be condemnation without consequences. This is similar to the police running an internal investigation of police misconduct that always results with the accused exonerated or slap on the wrist punishment.

Randolph — I agree with you in general, but remember that equity is NOT equality. It’s Newspeak that we get tricked into using because we hear it everywhere.
Equality is treating everyone the same in the here and now. Equity is holding successful people back as far as you can because the less successful don’t have what it takes to make it even to the average level.
Equality is giving a paralyzed guy a wheelchair and making room for it at the table. Equity is taking all the other chairs away and giving him a limousine with the table in it, and telling him he’d better not get caught giving me a ride.
Markie: it’s not the Criminal Court at the Hague.
Hautness – Agreed. Fischer was one of the few worthy of any respect.
@ carl jones
My point is that nothing will come of this process. I understand this is initial hearing stage. If the Hague was legit, there would have been hundreds of prosecutions of US AND UK politicians and military command for crimes against humanity related to ME wars. Iraq . Syria , Libya and the little known genocide taking place in Yemen due to the US – Saudi blockade and destruction of infrastructure , desalination plants and farms.. Millions of people are in jeopardy with hundreds of thousands dead already. The Hague is a fraud like all the other JWO controlled international institutions like WHO , UN , etc pretending to be philanthropically motivated.
Yes, indeed, SpeakUp.
Equality ought to mean “equality under law” but even if this were so, it’s not a principle sustained in absolute terms.
There are plentifold legal provisions for the denial of equality under law. If, for example, you are serving a prison sentence in the UK, you are excluded from registering a vote in all elections, national or local.
“Equity” used to be a term from economics, describing the value of an asset, weighed against a loan or similar liability. Otherwise, “equity” is more familiarly used in its adjectival form in English. We talk about “equitable arrangements” or “equitable solutions.”
Something that is “equitable” is perceived as “reasonable” by two or more parties. There’s no inference of equality. “Equity” is mutually satisfactory accord.
The definition of Equity, favoured by globalist lexicographers, seems to derive, in part, from the classical definition, derived from finance.
The equity or value of assets can, of course, be artificially appreciated or depreciated, according to the stronger hand at the negotiating table. Equity is the brokerage of contract. It’s neither lawful maxim, nor tenet of jurisprudence.
Yet, notice how the two diverse concepts are conflated. The depraved 2010 Equality Act is the Equity lobby’s greatest achievement, to date, in the UK.
This is the statute that conferred protected status upon all such transvestites, as would call themselves transgender. The execrable Act provided the legal mechanism by which paedophile activism in schools could be legitimized; via Drag Queen story hour and the hijacking of curricula by queer activists disguised as educators.
In addition, the Equality Act legalized the exclusion of white candidates for positions of employment, where it might serve the purpose of bringing a more representational ethnic balance to the work place. The legislation, however, doesn’t make clear, whether a “more representational ethnic balance” refers to national or local demographics.
Thus, Transport For London, using the national statistics for ethnic population distribution, can brazenly exclude white candidates from applying for jobs, in a city, where the native white population is a minority ethnicity.
Any equity held by disgruntled sexual deviants and resentful ethnic minorities, can only be a measure of their potential for bringing chaos to the land, upon order.
I don’t know how my comment responding to Randolph about equity vs. equality got posted here. I wrote it in response to a different article, probably one of the Lloyd Austin articles, that talked about Austin being a DEI hire. Maybe I hit a wrong button.
But now that it and andyay’s comment are here: the notion of some people belonging to a protected class, as though their lives are somehow more precious than other people’s, is blatantly unconstitutional in the US, yet it is enshrined in law and used in punishment.
It is certainly central to Judaism and to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. But nobody in our Congress has had a change of heart like Ofer and is condemning it. Our Congress members have no heart, just greed for power and money. Many have dual citizenship in Israel. All need to be replaced by people who hold only US citizenship and owe no loyalty to anyone else.
