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."

The murderous sadistic cruelty is the point, meant to emphasize the futility of resistance to the concentration camp ethics, and normally kept out of western eyesight by murdering the witness; and has been for two hundred years including the formation of the UN. Fanon writes that France operated over a hundred such camps prior to 1940 where 40% of the women children elderly and disabled died from starvation dehydration disease and torture. Voters’s need to do a deep cleanse as you say- Muslims have worked for 40 years within the Democratic Party and today can’t get even a bottle of water into Gaza

This sort of killing with hate by this malevolent ultra apartheid regime in broad daylight is not going to end with just them. It will soon be common place.

It already is. Hence people in the UK trying to burn down buildings full of refugees whilst live streaming it - acting with total impunity. They are domestic terrorists but have got away with not being labelled as such. They should be proscribed as terrorists but again, that label is only reserved for brown people

This is why I categorically do not believe in the survival instinct or the ‘survival of the fittest’ theory. I am British and have lived here most of my life. Believe me when I tell you, the people here—who voted Brexit, Tory, and Reform—have, over decades, continuously voted for tangibly worse lives for themselves if it meant harassing and destroying the lives of non-whites and non-Brits. This is not a theory; this is the absolute reality. You have seen it over and over and over. And they’ve done it again. Survival of the fittest? No, survival of the most evil. There is no other word for kicking down. It is evil in every way.

This has been my belief since Neil Kinnock lost to John Major. I have grown in further awareness since then, although I wish I hadn’t because I have come to realise that ignorance is really bliss! However, once you know, you can’t unknow.
