Israeli Impunity has united all Western populations to Extreme Violence
If the IDF can get away with it, why shouldn't they?
The systemic racism and Islamophobia of the police and judicial systems in many Western states is well known. I mean, the UK joint enterprise law neatly criminalises and imprisons entire ethnic groups for just being present when a crime takes place, even if they were not the perpetrator, and there was no evidence of them even intending to use any violence.
In one joint enterprise case, the judge handed out a joint enterprise conviction to a 16 year-old-boy for a minimum of 11 years, despite the judge admitting that there was no evidence that the kid did anything.
In the judge’s words there was “very little evidence of how he came to be at the scene”, as there were no witnesses to his involvement and, unlike the other boys, the judge said he had not gone to the fair expecting to use violence.
Evidence beyond all reasonable doubt? Please understand, the law may sound lofty, but if a judge does not want to follow it, you’re screwed.
So the other week, some police at Manchester airport came behind a Muslim man, slammed his head against a vending machine and got surprised when he and his brother fought back. They were overzealous in their response and were tasered, leading to one collapsing, immobile, face to the floor.
It was while in this state, that one of the policemen kicked him in the face with his steel-toed boot and then stamped on his head. The man now has a brain cyst. You can watch the incident here:
The British Pakistani community took to the streets. Why the hell shouldn’t we?! What makes it ok for a police officer to do this? At first, nothing happened - the police officer kept working. After day 1 of protests, he was finally suspended. After day 2 it was said he ‘may’ face criminal charges.
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester, said he’d seen the full footage of the incident and that the situation was not "clear cut” though he then instantly contradicted himself by agreeing that it was ‘right’ that the officer was suspended. Please forgive him, he is a Labour MP. They are all inflicted with doublethink.
I mean, you can see the footage. It’s clear-cut. It does not matter what even transpired before. The fact that an immobile man is kicked in the face and has his head stamped on by a police officer is as clear-cut as it gets. But you must always remember that this is a Muslim man and he is brown so he does not have the right to self-defence and his rights not to be assaulted while immobile are measured by a different metric to that of a white man. Just ask the Palestinians. Israel has the perpetual right to ‘defend’ itself, which means taking aggressive actions against states which haven’t done anything to it, but not one Western politician ever says the Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against murder, bombs, torture, rape, ethnic cleansing, land theft and genocide.
This police officer knew he was being filmed. CCTV, mobile phones, you name it. He didn’t give a sh*t. Why would he? He knew nothing would happen. At best he would get paid leave and get to finish all that gardening he meant to do. At worst, he’d waste his time in a performative court appearance where he may get a slap on the wrist and then return to work a hero for being the ‘victim’ of a political ‘witchhunt’. It’s all win-win for white men who are violent towards Muslims and ethnic minorities. Just ask the Palestinians.
The violence and depravity of the apartheid, Zionist Israeli state is seeping into the ‘allies’ who support it. Their populaces watch with growing interest. If the worst of actions can be taken with absolute impunity, why wouldn’t the worst of people do them? Why wouldn’t even normal people do them? If you can kick a brown man when he’s down and get full pay and a few weeks jollies, why wouldn’t you?
Israel kills kids, so why can’t people here? That’s what a British man decided to do. He went into a dance class and stabbed a bunch of kids and now three are dead. Because, why not? Israel does it, so why can’t he?
In response to the stabbing of 3 young girls by a non-Muslim British man, the intellectual juggernauts of Britain - known as English Defence League (EDL) supporters decided to launch an Islamophobic pogrom against Muslims in the UK. Apparently, this was to ‘protect‘ British children. And so, they attacked mosques terrifying the people inside, threw bricks at police injuring over 50 of them on day 1 alone, and set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers and their children. They then set dates for their planned riots and plastered them all over their social media groups.
Being white and only attacking Muslims and non-white people, the British media thought fit to call these people ‘thugs’ and bizarrely ‘pro-British protestors’ in response to their real acts of attempted murder and arson. These people are the complete definition of domestic terrorists. But the lives of non-white people do not matter and they can never be victims of white terrorism even while they are chased down with a bladed hedge trimmer during these pogroms. This is just thuggery, don’t you know? A white man in Britain can only ever be a bit of a “thug”.
These ‘protectors’ of British children had nothing to say when the very same week, former BBC news presenter, Huw Edwards pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children. No one stormed the BBC and no one even heckled him outside the court.
Equally bizarrely, there was not a single protest for convicted baby killer Lucy Letby by these ‘child protection’ thugs. The woman was found guilty of killing 7 babies…BABIES…and attempting to kill 6 more. There were no protests or riots about her; the white woman murderer of British children.
It’s almost as if these ‘pro-British’ ‘child protectors’ don’t actually care about children and want any excuse to kick a brown/black person. Who’d have thunk?!
Another important facet of ‘protecting British children’ involves looting, especially high-street bakery Greggs. One is not a full member of the ‘child protector’ gang without it.
These people acted as they did with full confidence in their impunity. They can do what they want—who is going to stop them? Israel does what it wants when it wants, so they will too.
The Israeli government debated about how much they could torture and rape Palestinians. It wasn’t much of a debate, more a shouting of, ‘OF COURSE WE CAN'.’ Of course, they can. No-one cares. Everything is legitimate. So much so, that after raping a man to utter paralysis, the rapist was fine to show his face. Why wouldn’t he? He has nothing to hide; he can do what he wants! Israeli society supports the rape of Palestinians to death: they actually protested when the rapists might face justice, and set out to forcibly free them from prison. So used are they to abusing Palestinians with complete impunity, that no one will stop them. Their Western allies certainly won’t stop them. They um and ah and tut tut while signing those billion-dollar cheques. There is never a magic money tree for the UK and US populaces, but there is always a magic money well for Israel.
The depraved killing spree the Israeli state has been conducting against Muslims and Palestinians for the past 76 years, and on steroids for the past 10 months, has inspired many in the West to do the same.
In Russia, a man ran over a Muslim woman and her 2-year-old. Because, why not?
In the US a man stabbed a 6-year-old Palestinian kid 26 times. He took this child’s life because Israel can, so why can’t he?
An American woman tried to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian Muslim kid. Because Israel makes it look fun (!)
You don’t realise, I promise you do not realise, the corruption and depravity that you allow to continue in the world with impunity comes back to us. I don’t mean just as potential victims. No, we no longer become the victims but the purveyors of it. It may not be to this extreme level of violence and depravity, but it may come in smaller forms. You may find yourself engaging in small acts of unkindness when before, you would have been kind. You find yourself becoming more selfish, more self-important and less empathetic, especially towards those you have wronged, even if by mistake. Rather than showing patience, you begin to snap and do so without remorse. The worst parts of your character are no longer reproached and forgiven but accepted as right and not in any need of apology or reform. When evil surrounds you, it contaminates. The more we see of it, the more desensitised to it we grow; the more normal it becomes. Goodness is slowly diluted from without until all that you were, you feel you no longer are, and you loathe yourself for becoming something you never wanted to be.
Israel has done this to all of us. It kills the Palestinians and wipes them from the earth, just as it is wiping humanity from the earth.
All of us are barely human any more: we cling onto the last vestiges of our humanity like a handful of sand seeping through our fingers. We all deep down in our souls know that we are complicit by watching this genocide - because we know everything that is happening and we have every comfort and still they die.
I don’t know what else to say.
Those who wish to hate and hurt others are emboldened by Israel.
And those who love to love others; whose empathy would light the world around them, are crushed by Israel.
We are facing extreme violence in every form - physically, psychologically, emotionally, morally.
Israeli impunity has united all Western populations to this extreme violence.
Because if the IDF can get away with it, why shouldn’t they?
"Because if the IDF can get away with it, why shouldn’t they?"
Is the method.
"Because if the IDF can get away with it, why shouldn’t I?"
Is the goal.
It's desensitization by toxic leadership. It's part of military training. It happens from working in a slaughter house. As a doctor or nurse. A fireman etc etc.
The world seems to be deliberately desensitized to killing and violence. With the weapons Israel has and the lack of weapons Hamas has this "war" should have been over in a few weeks. instead it's been deliberately dragged out in full view of the world to the point of famine and desease. As a result the entire world is being driven to a state of apathy and withdrawal from reality. Desensitization takes time; it doesn't happen overnight. The US is now facing a "mental illness" crisis and help is being widely promoted in the media. Drugs for anxiety and depression work largely by increasing apathy and desensitizing individuals.
Some things to consider -
Gaza has been sealed shut.
Hamas has had no means of resupply of weapons for over 10 months. They have no means to fight.
No reports of the IDF securing the tunnels Hamas is using.
No reported number of Hamas soldiers killed.
No electricity in Gaza. No fuel for generators.
How are people charging phones?
No water. No food. No medical service.
Children are being desensitized from an early age through video games and movies. Video games provide a method of programming for entry into the military , especially now with the use of drones. Flight simulators are highly effective and realistic.
The militarized police have been trained to protect their own life first because it's a dangerous job to the point of killing a child with a toy gun. Being pulled over for not using your turn signal places you into the "he might have a gun" in the "peace officers" mind. Approximately 50 police are killed in the line of duty while 1150 civilians are killed by police. Over 20 to 1.
The increased civil unrest that is occurring all over the world now is in large part a direct result of the Gaza genocide. The US UK and other countries have had the populations divided to the point of being fractured over non issues or easily solvable ones. Trillions of dollars are spent on the military to keep us "safe" while malnourished, losing homes from medical bills, becoming homeless which is now a criminal offense and on and on.
What purpose do our governments serve is the real question we need to ask? Society at large is being molded and shaped by our leaders into non thinking, compliant commodities to be disposed of at their whim.
Our humanity is being eroded, as Israel continues to destroy Palestinians. It's horrible and, Aya, you've expressed this really well.
