Gaza has never been a war. It's been a contrived slow slaughter in an open air concentration camp from day one. It's odd that Israel can conduct a precision strike on a foreign leader visiting in another country but in Gaza civilians seem to be the primary target.

America, UK, NATO and the UN are fascist, governing and controlling world bodies. To hide the fact that America is fascist the "the threat to democracy" leads people to believe that they still live in a democracy. Democracy died long ago in the US. Overthrown by corporate America and the people who the citizens elect to"represent" them. Democracy is nothing more than an illusion, fabricated by our "representatives" and corporate media. America is now a militarized police state with the police committing atrocities that are not allowed under the Geneva convention or the rules of war. The majority of the world NOW lives in a dystopian world and are merely commodities to be exploited until no longer useful and then cast aside to rot.

What would American or British response have been had a foreign government attacked and assassinated a visiting leader on their soil? It would be considered a declaration of war and the response would be immediate. It's also a certainty that the US and Israel know who conducted the attacks. Yet the US has told iran to "stand down" and not inflame the situation in the middle east. The "War on Terror" only applies to the US and it's NATO allies and only they get to decide who are terrorists. Now the "War on Terror" extends to it's own citizens but few realize it.

Domestically the parallels between the US and UK are striking. So striking it would appear that both are being run by the same government. But that's just insane. Great Britain after all has a monarch which the US is lacking. A simple monarch isn't good enough for America. We need an emperor. Enter Trump '24! Let the real pogroms commence.....!

Thanks for posting, Aya.

So true. I only wish I knew what to do. But I'll just keep on posting, boycotting, speaking out and all else I can until this stops. With so many of us appalled at Israel and our governments that support it, we will find a way.

"There is no such thing as a war crime. What is happening in Gaza at the hands of Israel is against all morality, humanity, notions of natural justice, every religion, and all sense of shame and dignity. It is criminal in its natural sense. There is no war crime as there is no war, only murder, destruction, and genocide."
