    Like Sheep to be Slaughtered

    Picture this scenario: Your homeland has been getting bombed for nearly 5 months. Most homes, hospitals, schools, and places of worship are destroyed. You’ve lost many friends and relatives. You scrounge for food and water each day, trying to survive as the constant hum of drones fills the air. Then, finally, aid trucks arrive. You and your hungry comrades desperately try to get something to feed your family with. But all of a sudden, rapid gunfire is aimed towards the crowd, massacring more than 100 innocent civilians.

    I wish this were just a scene out of a horror movie. It should be nothing beyond fiction, nothing beyond one’s sick imagination. Yet, this is precisely what happened on February 29, 2024 as Palestinians gathered to collect aid in Gaza City. As if circumstances weren’t bad enough for Palestinians, the IDF opened fire on the crowd and slaughtered over 100 Palestinians. Over 700 Palestinians were wounded according to CNN.

    Think about that. How much prolonged gunfire was required by the IDF to cause that much damage? They were just randomly spraying bullets into the crowd. It makes me sick to my stomach. Can you imagine an act more evil than this? Don’t be fooled. I used to be naive and think “it can’t get any worse.” But I’ve been proven wrong time and time again.

    Re: Blog Posts About Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

    On February 16, 2024, CNN published a video about Israeli soldiers’ use of social media to show off their crimes. They showed clips from Israeli terrorists’ own videos of them blowing up mosques and other buildings in Gaza and then cheering. They’re having a blast…literally.

    These soldiers must be so proud of themselves. Who else but the IDF could pull off such a dangerous and complex mission of blowing up a mosque?

    One has to be pretty sick to rejoice in such things, but when a society teaches its people that Palestinians are worthless, these heinous actions are actually seen as something good. What a bubble to live in.

    As Israeli actress Tzofit Grant said during an interview on Israeli TV, Palestinians are “disgusting losers”, among other vile things. The host agreed wholeheartedly. Imagine a society with such supremacist, hateful views. What do you think they will do to the “vermin”? We don’t need to look too far back in history to find the answer.

    Sometimes what people say is actually a reflection of themselves. Tzofit Grant hit the nail on the head when she stated: “People are the product of the education they grow up with.” Bingo!

    Anyback, back to the CNN report…

    Let me ask you this: If someone blew up a synagogue and posted a satirical how-to video, what would be the response? Or, more accurately, what would be the consequences? Would that person be shamed, blacklisted, and called anti-Semitic? Maybe even prosecuted for a hate crime? Not so when Israeli soldiers blow up a mosque. Instead, they are celebrated as heroes.

    I think the Jews are jealous of the Muslim men and women in Palestine the hijabi women and the praying men that's why....

    Believers do not be close friends to outsiders who spare no effort to ruin you and want to see you suffer. Their hatred is apparent in what they say, and what their hearts hide is even worse. We have made Our revelations clear to you, if you would only use your reason.

    Vampires, Werewolves, and...Ramadan?
    Well, folks, there’s a new baddie in town. Lurking in the night, ready to pounce on innocent bystanders. A monster so bloodthirsty and fierce that even Bigfoot has gone into hiding. Its name is…Ramadan!?

    To quote Israel’s Heritage Minister, Amihai Eliyahu: "The so-called month of Ramadan must be wiped out, and our fear of this month must also be wiped out."

    EFY2Cok2aBx0Yiwr4W9FqaIqgRToocz4Q0ZhyGko 1 - Blog Posts About Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

    How frightening! Can you imagine a month in which Muslims fast from dawn till sunset, engage in extra prayers, and give in charity? Like, OMG! Somebody call Superman.

    But wait…How do we actually wipe out an entire month? While we’re at it, can we wipe out Mondays?

    What is it about fasting, prayer, and charity that’s so spooky to the likes of Eliyahu? To put it bluntly, Eliyahu is an Islamophobic, genocidal maniac. This is the same person who suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza in November 2023. The same person who wanted to allocate portions of Gaza to IDF soldiers who fought in the war. The same person who in May 2023 said, “the fly must be killed and also his children if he hides behind them,” referring to Palestinians.

    This does not seem like a normal, mentally fit person who should be serving in any country’s government. Some of the things he has said make me wonder: Who is the real monster?

    Selling Stolen Land
    In March 2024, a number of real estate events took place in the US and Canada. Real estate events take place all the time. What was unique about these particular events is that they focused on selling property in the West Bank. But not on behalf of Palestinians who own the land. It was on behalf of Israel.

    These events were hosted by creatively named groups such as Home in Israel (backed by real estate giant Keller Williams), Your Home in Israel, and My Home in Israel. With such imaginative names, these folks might want to consider a side gig in marketing.

    Naturally, there was some outcry in response to these events. To be fair, Keller Williams claims that their properties are sold in Tel Aviv and Haifa, not in the Occupied West Bank. But even if it’s just the latter two groups attempting to sell stolen land in the West Bank, it doesn’t make the situation any better.

    For starters, Israel has no business being in the West Bank. It was not part of the 1947 UN Partition, and it was not some sort of prize that Israel won in the 1967 war. It’s not “disputed territory” as propagandists would like you to believe.

    Israel has no right to be building settlements there for Jewish people only. Israel has no right to build separation barriers in the West Bank. Israel has no jurisdiction in the West Bank to arrest and indefinitely detain Palestinians. Israel has no right to force Palestinians to live under a brutal military occupation that denies them freedom and the right to self-determination.

    UN Security Council Resolution 2334 affirms “that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-State solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace”.

    It goes on to state “that it will not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines [that is, the borders right before the Six-Day War], including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations”.

    So how can they sell land and homes in the West Bank when it seems to be in direct violation of international law?

    Suppose you owned a nice house in Los Angeles overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then a Chinese company decides to sell your home and the plot of land it sits on to a Chinese buyer. Now it’s theirs. Sure, you can complain, but China can simply claim that they recognize this home in Los Angeles as Chinese property. Perhaps they even have an old oracle bone stating as much.

    Makes a ton of sense, right? What a bizarre sense of entitlement.

    Don't Say You Didn't See This Coming
    https://maximumintifada.wordpress.com/
    On March 7, 2024, CNN issued a report stating that more than 20 Palestinians had already died of starvation, and that the youngest victim of this fate was a mere one day old.

    Dying of starvation is not a pleasant thing. The body breaks down and fails. For any human to suffer that -- especially due to preventable, man-made causes -- is unacceptable in this day and age.

    Many parents weren’t eating. Many children weren’t eating. People were malnourished. Pregnant women were giving birth prematurely. Some babies died in their mothers’ wombs. New mothers were unable to produce milk.

    3WrFfU0BIVuuHJO7BVivSac6N0fikWCxUEg8PQ4z 1 - Blog Posts About Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

    This was a nightmare situation. This was all taking place five months into Israel’s October 2023 invasion of Gaza. Looking back at it, any normal human being with at least half a conscience could agree that there were many unnecessary deaths in Gaza. But was it a surprise? To claim one didn’t foresee things getting this bad is to feign ignorance.

    On October 9, 2023, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

    That’s right. The country’s Defense Minister stated in no uncertain terms that it was going to commit war crimes. And it did, as was illustrated practically on a daily basis for months following the commencement of this war. Gallant also used genocidal language with the term “human animals”.

    Readers should be reminded that Israel had already imposed a blockade on Gaza since June 2007. To further restrict basic necessities like food and water was inhumane. Additionally, collective punishment is a war crime. Israel largely prevented aid from getting in, and even shot at civilians trying to access aid from the few trucks that did get into Gaza.

    By the time Palestinians were literally starving to death, more than 30,000 Palestinians were already slaughtered by the Israeli military. Based on Gallant’s statement in October 2023, along with similarly vile statements by Israeli President Isaac Herzog and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu around the same time, no one should have been surprised by the ensuing genocide that took place. And no one should be okay with the fact that the world’s leaders stood by and did little to stop it. Shame on humanity.

    Unholy War
    Originally posted on https://maximumintifada.wordpress.com/
    In early March 2024, a video made its rounds on the internet of Rabbi Eliyahu Mali making some interesting statements. Rabbi Mali heads a religious school called Shirat Moshe in Jaffa. Here’s a rough translation of some of what he said:


    • "The basic principle that we have is that when we live through the 'holy war of the mitzvah,' in this case in Gaza, according to the choice of the judge [main judgement or main takeaway from Jewish law], you will not let every soul live. The meaning is very clear: if you don't kill them first, they will kill you."
    • "The terrorists of today are the children of the past, who have remained alive [the children that you left alive]. And in reality, it's the women who create these terrorists. What this means is that the definition of 'not every soul shall live' is very clear in the scriptures: it is either you or them."
    • "In the broader sense, it is not only the man between 18, 16, 20, 30 who shoots at you with a weapon, but also their new generation of the future, and also those who create the generation of the future. Because there is no difference."


    When somebody asked, "What about old people?," the rabbi's response was: "There are no uninvolved people. It is the same with an elderly person, who is able to carry a weapon."

    Then someone asked, "Also the same with children?" The rabbi responded: "It is the same thing. [shrugs shoulders] It is the same thing. If you save him...don't try to outsmart the Torah. The Torah does not allow you to let every soul live. Today, he is a child. Today, he is a boy. Tomorrow, he is not. The fighters, the terrorists, who are 18 today, were 8-year-olds in the previous war."

    Very curious stuff he said there. He uses Jewish halakhah (rules about "the way to behave") to justify genocide. Does anyone want to live in such a zero-sum world where “the other” has to be exterminated so only your people can live? Last time I checked, the world was big enough for everyone.

    Also, did Mali forget the actions of the Irgun, Haganah, and Stern Gang decades ago? Mali is right when he acknowledges that children from the previous war may be fighters now. Does he not get the hint? Bombing Gaza every few years in an effort to “mow the grass” is not a sustainable strategy.

    Thankfully Rabbi Mali does not represent all of Israel and certainly not all Jews. For this type of ideology is simply not conducive to a peaceful world where we all coexist.

    Loopholes

    For those who work in the corporate world, have you heard of employees splitting up expense reports to keep each one below a certain dollar amount, or vendors splitting invoices to avoid additional approvals from higher-ups? Shady stuff happens in business, although government is no exception.

    The US has long been an arms dealer to Israel (and other countries). Military aid is given to other countries (mainly Israel) using tax dollars collected from Americans, and that aid is used to buy weapons from US arms manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon (RTX). Too bad that tax revenue couldn’t have been used to fix schools and roads in America instead of lining the pockets of executives, but that’s another story.

    In any case, there is supposed to be a congressional review process in which the President of the US notifies Congress either 15 days or 30 days before a weapons or equipment sale can be finalized. The terms vary depending on the country, but generally applies to sales of $14 million or more for major defense equipment, and $50 million or more for defense articles or services. The threshold for certain countries like Israel, South Korea, and Australia is set higher at $25 million for major defense equipment and $100 million for defense articles or services, making it less necessary to provide a notice to Congress.

    If you were in charge and were buddy-buddy with Israel, what would you do to fast-track sales of weapons to Israel and bypass the bureaucratic congressional review process? Hmm. How about keeping each sale below the thresholds and doing a bunch of small deals instead?

    Well, that’s exactly what the Biden administration did after Israel’s October 2023 invasion of Gaza began…to the tune of over 100 weapons sales to Israel in about five months. No oversight or approval from Congress. No real details, either, of what specific weapons or equipment were sold.

    Governments of most countries do all kinds of shady things, many of which the public never finds out about, but our tax dollars are being used for military aid and weapons sales to other countries that ultimately kill people and destroy buildings and infrastructure. Shouldn’t there be a little more transparency and oversight?

    The New York Crimes
    On December 28, 2023, the New York Times published a questionable piece titled “Screams Without Words: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7”. The byline of the article included Jeffrey Gettleman, Anat Schwartz, and Adam Sella.

    Jeffrey Gettleman is an established reporter, but Anat Schwartz is not. Schwartz was known as a filmmaker, not a journalist. How did she get a gig with the New York Times? Some young and upcoming journalists dream of such an opportunity.

    Not only was she not qualified, Schwartz was likely too biased to be part of such a piece. For one, she served in the IDF’s Air Force Intelligence division. Further, she “liked” a social media post by David Mizrahy Verthaim in which the latter called for turning the Gaza Strip “into a slaughterhouse” if the Israeli captives were not returned immediately. (No mention by Verthaim of the thousands of Palestinian captives being held hostage by Israel in “administrative detention”.)

    And Adam Sella? He’s a freelance writer with little experience (as of the December 2023 publication of the NYT article) according to his own website. Was he uniquely qualified to write a piece about sexual violence? Not at all. But he happens to be the nephew of Anat Schwartz’s partner. Good enough for the NYT, apparently.

    Okay, so we have one out of three qualified writers on this piece. The article’s premise that Hamas engaged in mass rape on October 7th could still be true, right? Surely the writers gathered enough evidence from speaking with victims. A prestigious publication like the NYT has plenty of integrity, right? If you’re that naive, I’ve got some amazing snake oil to sell you.

    In a February 2024 interview with the Institute of Global Politics, the lead writer Jeffrey Gettleman stated: “I, I don’t wanna even use the word ‘evidence’ because ‘evidence’ is almost like the legal term that suggests you’re trying to, to prove an allegation or prove a case in court…”

    Um, what? If you’re going to make such damning claims as rape against someone, you’d better have some evidence. Hearsay is not good enough, certainly not for allegations of rape. Is Gettleman suggesting that the media’s role is simply to pass on gossip? The Intercept also reported that there was no forensic evidence.

    As Mondoweiss put it: “[T]he veracity of the New York Times story was undermined almost as soon as it was published, including from the Abdush family itself who says there is no proof Gal Abdush was raped and that the New York Times interviewed them under false pretenses.”

    Scwhartz herself was frustrated that despite calling 11 different Israeli hospitals, “no complaint of sexual assault was received,” as she explained in an interview with Israel’s “One a Day” podcast.

    Why publish such a dubious piece? To sway public opinion and equate Hamas with ISIS (a.k.a. Daesh), which would help build international support for Israel and its ongoing military violations and human rights abuses against Palestinians. They were peddling a specific narrative. It was part of the hasbara -- propaganda -- effort.

    This is a good reminder to be wary of mainstream media. Are they truly serving the public? We need to consider who is sponsoring them and with what motives. True journalism is about presenting verified findings and allowing the reader to make a judgement, not about brainwashing readers to adopt a certain viewpoint to serve a specific agenda.

    The Boy Who Cried Hamas

    On February 26, 2024, The New Yorker published a piece by Shane Bauer titled “The Israeli Settlers Attacking Their Palestinian Neighbors”. It was a timely piece that covered the ramped-up violence in the West Bank by illegal Israeli settlers against hapless Palestinians, all while the world’s attention was turned away to Gaza. How opportunistic.

    Bauer interviewed both Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers. The article detailed some of the attacks by Israeli settlers: “Settlers have burned cars and houses, blockaded roads, damaged electricity networks, seized farmland, severed irrigation lines, attacked people in their fields and olive groves, and killed, all without repercussion.”

    Bauer was also interviewed by Democracy Now! During this interview they shared footage that Bauer captured during his time in the West Bank. In one clip, he tried to reason with Israeli soldiers who were harassing a Palestinian family that was simply trying to harvest their olive grove.

    One of the Israeli soldiers stated: “There are terrorists in all these villages…We arrest Hamas in all these villages.” Bauer tried to explain: “But they’re just harvesting olives. They don’t have any weapons.” Incredulously, while tucking his automatic rifle aside, the soldier replied: “I don’t fight with weapons…I am also with no weapons.”

    Talk about delusional. For some reason this exchange reminded of a Spider-Man meme:

    fRpNQcdfhx9Jf0IcJWvdPUSptIhp8L1e5r2ClpnQ 1 - Blog Posts About Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

    Some of the things these people say are ridiculous. One boot can be crushing a child’s skull while they look directly in your eyes and say, “Hamas uses children as human shields!”

    The Palestinian Authority is the ruling party (if one could even call it that) in the West Bank, not Hamas. If the Israeli government and military continue to falsely claim that every Palestinian man, woman, and child is Hamas, are we really to believe them? Were the thousands of children murdered in Gaza by Israeli air strikes Hamas? How much credibility do propaganda mouthpieces like the slithery Eylon Levy and the leprechaun Rabbi Shmuley have left?

    There is some truth to what this soldier said, though. They do arrest people in all these West Bank villages…but under what jurisdiction, and for what crime? Being a young male is not a crime. If they are guilty of something, why not charge and try them instead of holding them indefinitely under “administrative detention”?

    At some point, the world must realize that Israel all too often cries wolf.

    A Reward for Terrorism

    Perhaps you’ve heard this saying, or some variation of it: “Giving the Palestinians a state would be akin to rewarding terrorism.”

    This is, of course, nonsense. It’s a trope. It’s a way of shirking international law, denying Palestinians the right to self-determination, and buying time for Israel to complete its takeover of the entirety of historical Palestine.

    Let me pose this question to you: What if it was Israel, in fact, that was rewarded for terrorism?

    Consider the following historical facts:


    • A Jewish terrorist group called Haganah was founded in 1920, out of which was eventually formed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 1948
    • A more extreme Jewish terrorist group called Irgun Zvai Leumi (or simply Irgun, a.k.a. Etzel) was formed in 1931 to oppose Haganah
    • On July 6, 1938, Irgun terrorists detonated car bombs at a market in Haifa, slaughtering 21 civilians and injuring tens more
    • An even more extreme Jewish terrorist group called Stern Gang (a.k.a. Lohamei Herut Israel, acronymized as Lehi) was founded in 1940, which split from Irgun
    • On November 25, 1940, Haganah terrorists launched a heinous attack on a ship called Patria filled with illegal Jewish immigrants (in an effort to prevent those immigrants from being deported), bombing and sinking the ship; this resulted in the killing of more than 250 Jews, British soldiers, and crew members

      • Notably, Palestinians helped rescue the survivors, and the surviving Jews were given permits to remain in Palestine

    • Haganah’s Palmach unit launched an unscrupulous terrorist group in 1942 called Mista’arvim (a.k.a. Musta'ribeen in Arabic), which consisted of Israeli agents dressing up as Arabs to infiltrate Palestinian society and carry out attacks

      • Remember this and be wary of who/what you trust, as Mista’arvim units still operate today

    • On November 6, 1944, Stern Gang (Lehi) terrorists assassinated Britain’s Lord Moyne (Walter Edward Guinness)

      • Interestingly, Lord Moyne was a good friend of Winston Churchill, a supporter of Zionism

    • Beginning in October 1945 and lasting several months, Haganah, Irgun, and Stern Gang (Lehi) terrorists teamed up and launched more than 70 attacks against British forces in Palestine by targeting troops, bases, oil refineries, and railways and trains
    • On July 22, 1946, Irgun terrorists bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which the British military was using as headquarters; more than 90 people were killed and tens injured

      • Note that this operation involved Jewish terrorists dressed up as Arabs

    • On October 30, 1946, Irgun terrorists set off three bombs at Jerusalem’s main railway station, killing three
    • On March 1, 1947, Irgun terrorists launched a comprehensive attack on the Goldsmith Officers Club, killing nearly 20 people
    • On September 29, 1947, Irgun terrorists barrel-bombed the police headquarters in Haifa, killing around 10 people and injuring many others
    • In early 1948, Stern Gang (Lehi) terrorists carried out a couple attacks using mines against the Cairo-Haifa train; the February 29th attack killed 28 British soldiers, and the March 31st attack killed 40 civilians
    • On April 9, 1948, Irgun and Stern Gang (Lehi) terrorists attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, slaughtering approximately 100 Palestinians (including women and children), wiping out more than 10% of the village’s total population


    Perhaps you noticed that all of the above took place before Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948. Unfortunately it didn’t end there. Other massacres took place following this date, including in the Palestinian villages of Tantura, Lydda, and Saliha.

    Now go ahead and ponder the question: Was the creation of the State of Israel a reward for terrorism?
