Gladwyn d’SouzaThe slaughter chronicle: Israeli soldiers recently tied a Palestinian to the bonnet of a Jeep so they could use him as a human shield, but Labour leaders are supposed to support violence against Palestinians because Hamas allegedly uses human shields. The IDF just slaughtered another 14 civilians at Al-Mawasi refugee camp, but our leaders have to support soldiers who shell refugee camps because Hamas targets civilians. IDF soldiers just posed for pictures with the walking sticks of the civilians they slaughtered with big grins on their faces, but our leaders must automatically support these soldiers because the other side are barbarians who don’t respect human life.

“I cry just like any other grandmother would over her grandchildren being sick and having scabies. This is like a slow death. There is no dignity.”
In eight months, more than 330,400 tonnes of solid waste are estimated to have built up in the Palestinian territory
At the end of the day, the mental gymnastics it takes to try and convince people that Palestinians being colonized (exterminated) are the bad guys is the same garbage that was used against Indigenous tribes across North America and Latin American and African nations until today.
Just as Israeli leaders knew they were committing war crimes in 1967, they know they are committing even grosser crimes against humanity now. And every western leader knows this too. They just don't want you to know.

Much has been made of the fact that the ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, consulted a panel of legal experts that unanimously supported his decision to apply for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant. The most famous of those experts is Amal Clooney. Less noticed is that the panel also included Theodor Meron, who was a pivotal legal authority in Israel's foreign ministry at the time Israel occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in 1967. As disclosed in Gershom Gorenberg's book The Accidental Empire (2006), it was Meron who advised the Israeli government in a secret memo at that time that any settlements it built in the newly occupied Palestinian territories would be flagrantly illegal under International law – a war crime. Every Israeli government since 1967 has lied that the legal advice it received from its own officials was that the settlements were not illegal. Some 57 years later, Meron has again pointed out the criminal nature of Israel's actions towards the Palestinians. And once again, Israeli leaders are lying through their teeth in denying that they are systematically breaking international law in Gaza. Just as Israeli leaders knew they were committing war crimes in 1967, they know they are committing even grosser crimes against humanity now. And every western leader knows this too. They just don't want you to know.
#ThisIsWhatOurRulingClassHasDecidedWillBeNormal: The problem isn’t that people are becoming too radicalized against their government, the problem is that people aren’t radicalized enough. The problem is that the freaks who rule over us are not sufficiently afraid of us. The problem is that we have not yet come to the collective realization that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we don’t actually need to put up with them doing crazy and evil things right in front of our faces.
The Problem Isn't Civil Disobedience, It's Civil Obedience
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Our society does not have an antisemitism crisis. It doesn’t have a crisis of far left radicalism, Islamist extremism, support for terrorism, or fomenting of dissent by foreign powers. Our society has a moral crisis. A cruelty crisis. An imperialism crisis. A militarism crisis. A propaganda crisis. An insincerity crisis. A stupidity crisis. An obedience crisis.
In service to the safety of the empire but unsafe at home: In 2020, after Floyd’s death, then-Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kaleth O. Wright wrote an emotional note to his troops about police killings of Black men and children: “I am a Black man who happens to be the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force. I am George Floyd … I am Philando Castile, I am Michael Brown, I am Alton Sterling, I am Tamir Rice.”
