Say the Quiet Bit Out Loud - Only an Israel or a Palestine Will Come Out of This

Nethanyahu has laid down the gauntlet for the return of Palestine

The thing I detest about Western journalists is that the vast majority of them are not journalists but propagandists for their billionaire bosses and their invariably imperial interests. They give real investigative, analytical, on-the-ground journalists a terrible name.

One thing these propagandists have shown us over the past few months in particular, is their inability to tell the truth. Yet, even their playing and twisting of words cannot hide the murderous truth of the genocide and starvation of millions we are witnessing, all without a single foreign army in sight to help.

What these ‘journalists’ haven’t told you – (probably because they are too scared of getting a telling off at work for even daring to write something truthful) - is that Benjamin Netanyahu made clear his intention for ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians before Oct 7. During a UN speech on 22^nd Sept, Netanyahu proudly shared his dreams for a new corridor from Europe to Asia through ‘Israel,’ by erasing Palestine completely from the map with his big, red marker. It truly had a kindergarten vibe to it, including the crap spewing from his mouth, just like a toddler making up some nonsensical story as they scribble lines all over the place on their drawing pad.

What else these client journalists never tell you is that Bibi Satanyahu wants to steal the Palestinian's gas in Gaza and during his genocide has already given 12 licenses to energy companies for exploration of this stolen gas. What they haven’t told you is that he is desperate to make the Ben Gurion canal a reality to take on Egypt’s Suez canal and that his new corridor from Asia to Europe through Israel sans Palestine, is a desperate attempt to take on China’s Belt and Road Initiative otherwise known as the ‘New Silk Road’ which includes Palestine as one of its 151 members but not a single one of the ‘OG’ genocidal colonisers i.e. the US, Britain and Israel.

No, these Western ‘journalists’ kept quiet about all of that. They knew Bibi’s intentions but what new news is it really that Zionism – (simply another name for colonialism and imperialism) – is about to genocide brown people in order to steal their land and their resources? It truly is just another day, another blood dollar for the Western Empire.

What they don’t tell you is that Netanyahu has being barking for years that there will be no Palestinian State. He said it 8 years ago, when Obama was the Imperialist-in-Chief in the heart of Western Empire. He said then he would ignore all international law and would continue building illegal settlements in the West Bank.

The Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely confirmed openly last Dec that there would absolutely be NO two-state solution. Tzipi is seriously a scary piece of work – she claims ‘every school, every mosque  and every second home in Gaza’ has access to ‘Hamas tunnels’ and must be destroyed, then claims there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Here in the North of England, we say that Tzipi says all that sh*t because, ‘Tzipi’s tapped.’

All of this and yet none of the Western media told you that Israel has clearly and unequivocally admitted during their genocide of Gaza, that they had been bullsh*tting for the last few decades about any potential two-state solution. It was never on the cards for Bibi. I guess alarm bells should have been ringing when he ignored every single international law and convention and UN resolution, but “hey-ho that’s how client journalists go!”

Netanyahu wants Palestine, the whole of Palestine. He does not want a Palestinian state, and he does not care what anyone says. He will take the land by force and he is doing this by ethnically cleansing Gaza through active and brutal genocide. He will not allow the Americans to tell him what to do. He will not let the world tell him what to do. He will not allow the ICJ to tell him what to do. The ICJ has asked Israel to stop genociding the Palestinians. Bibi’s remarks?

“No one will stop us -- not The Hague, not the Axis of Evil and no one else. It is possible and necessary to continue until victory and we will do it.”

No-one will stop him genociding. It doesn’t matter what these old folk in their courtroom with their grim reaper gowns say, no-one will stop him until he gets ‘victory’.

And what is ‘victory’? It is exactly what he has been saying for the past 8 years – the complete erasure of the State of Palestine.

Western propagandists have debased themselves beyond redemption during this genocide. En masse, they told us little Hind was just found dead, as if some mysterious spirit visited her in the night, rather than the truth that she was shot to pieces by the Israeli occupation forces who also tricked two paramedics sent to help her – guaranteeing them safe haven – then shooting them to death too. Why would you trust Israel and their word? The Israeli State is a pathological liar and even when it does not need to lie, it will.

“If you cannot be redeemed, then why bother?” Seems to the mantra of the Western press. The same press that tried desperately to tell us that the hero, Aaron Bushnell self-immolated because he was ‘protesting at the Israel-Hamas war’, when the guy literally told them very calmly and clearly he was doing it to protest against the genocide, screaming ‘Free Palestine’ till his dying breath. Aaron is the epitome and personification of love, humanity and sacrifice: and it is only due his pure, selfless humanity that amazingly nothing these propagandists said or did dented even an atom of his legacy. Tried they did though. It’s like, “Hey, Western journalists, how low can you go?” And the response every time is, “Dude, hold my beer.”

Having dehumanised every innocent in this genocide and every good and peaceful person trying to stop it, the Western propogandists, taking their orders from their imperial masters and doing the work of Bibi for him, tell us that there are only two options left to the Palestinians in Gaza. “The Palestinians must leave!” they say, and they call it ‘voluntary migration’ rather the truth that it is ethnic cleansing. If they don’t leave, they will die of bombs, or snipers, or disease, or starvation. Those are the only two options they tell us exist to the Palestinians now Netanyahu has promised there will only be one-state: leave or die.

Again, these propagandists lie.

Netanyahu’s promise is not a duality. It does not lead to only two options:

• Leave or;

• Die

There is a third:

• Fight for the Existence of a Palestinian State

Netanyahu’s promise that he will not allow a Palestinian State to exist any longer, is a promise that their existence will be wiped out.

In this, Nethayhu has created for the Palestinians an existential threat. He has told them he will either kill them or he will force them out while he rids the earth of a Palestine entirely. It will no longer exist at all.

An existential threat is one that threatens your very existence. When faced with a threat to your existence, the natural reaction is not to sit and allow yourself to be annihilated, but to fight for your life. There is no other option. You must fight to exist, or you will be wiped out, killed, no longer alive. Netanyahu has promised the Palestinians that he will wipe them out. They have no option but to fight for their very survival. They have no option but to fight for their very existence.

What these coward journalists will not tell you is this. Netanyahu has promised that there will be only one state. He will not accept two.

This means, when the Palestinians fight for their existence, they will no longer be fighting to exist alongside Israel as a state, they will be fighting to be the only state. And this is not their choice – it has been forced upon them by Netanyahu’s stubbornness, supremacy and racism.

What the Western media has not told you is that Netanyahu has flung down the gauntlet for a single state over the entire lands of Israel and Palestine. And they have not told you that rather having the ‘right to exist’ – Netanyahu’s singular vision, his war crimes, his breaking of international laws, his genocide and ethnic cleansing, has put Israel in the most precarious position it has been in since its inception.

For he has declared that only one state will come out from the ashes of his massacre.

And what the West won’t tell you, is that this means by necessity there will be only a State of Israel.

Or, only a Palestine.
