Israel is doing all the terrifying shit that us science-fiction writers tried to warn you about. For years, we tried to explain we’re heading for a cyberpunk dystopia in which individuals are rendered completely powerless. Well, that dystopia’s now here, it’s called Gaza, and it’s even worse than many of us dreamt up.
After cutting off telecommunications for Palestinians, Israel kindly airdropped leaflets with a QR code for “evacuation maps” that are as good as useless. The QR code takes Palestinians to an app that shows a map of Gaza and tells them block by block where the fighting is. The idea is they constantly monitor the app and move from block to block so they stay in the “safe zones”. Anyone who gets killed apparently deserves it because they didn’t use the app.
Apart from the fact people can’t use the app, humanitarian groups are telling us Israel is attacking the so-called safe zones anyway. This means even the safe zones aren’t safe.
In one of the most chilling things I’ve seen, Israeli drones are flying around and yelling at people not to resist, or presumably they will be gunned down. Just imagine entire families freezing while they hope the murder robot doesn’t take a disliking to them.
Even more disturbing, Israel is letting an artificial intelligence called “The Gospel” decide where to bomb, only the parameters are so wide, it’s giving the military too many targets. The IDF can’t keep up because every building in Gaza is a potential target for the “mass assassination factory”.
For example, if an apartment building contains three hundred civilians and one suspected low-level Hamas fighter, it will be blown up. This explains the level of destruction we’re seeing and contradicts Biden’s claims that Israel is minimising civilian casualties.
Let’s imagine you’re in Gaza and you somehow get access to this evacuation app. You’re supposed to spend your days and nights running around rubble heaps, ducking gunfire, hoping the murder robots don’t see you, potentially pushing wheelchairs or prams, and you’re supposed to deal with this shit without access to food or water. If you do everything right, The Gospel can still vaporise your family at any moment or blow the limbs off your kids. Your fate is in the hands of an artificial intelligence programmed by people who hate you.
The scale of evil we’re talking about is off the charts, but we’re supposed to support it, otherwise we’re supporting rape.
A full two months after October 7th, Israel is finally coming out with evidence of rape claims against Hamas, only we’re not allowed to see that evidence. No decent person wants to deny rape. If there is any substance to the stories, that’s truly horrific and my heart goes out to any rape victim. The problem is Israel has lied to us again and again, and when its evidence is made public, it often appears to be fake.
A verification from the mainstream media means zilch because they’ve aways regurgitated Israel’s propaganda. We’ve no idea if they’re telling the truth this time, but we do know they lied about the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh, the 40 beheaded babies, the baby in the oven, and the Al-Shifa hospital bombing. Given Israel has gone as far as faking audio recordings and gunning down its own people, we can be forgiven for doubting evidence we’re not allowed to see. Also, the west made similar accusations against Gadaffi and the Libyan army, but a UN investigator found no evidence in support of mass rapes.
Israel has even suggested that hostages who were released by Hamas must’ve been drugged because there is no other way they could’ve said nice things about their captors. They’re really just making shit up and seeing what they can get away with.
Huge questions surround Israel’s rape evidence, such as why the BBC accepted openly racist May Golan as a key witness. This is a woman who once said: “I’m proud to be a racist,” on camera. There are indications the BBC might have been presented with fake or misleading images. One photo that was made public appears to show a dead female Kurdish fighter published in 2022. We need to see if the other evidence stands up to scrutiny because we can’t depend on the BBC to do journalism.
Hillary Clinton and others are resorting to identity politics to shame us into going along with genocide, but they’re missing two key points: the first being that even if these horrific rape stories are 100% true, they don’t justify blowing up 8,000 children and putting 2 million people into a Hunger Games-style nightmare. The second being that the Israeli military has a huge rape problem.
The Israeli military’s chief rabbi, Amid Eyal Karim, once suggested it was okay for Israeli soldiers to rape women during wartime. While he later retracted those words, the fact such a man took a position of power and influence in Israel speaks volumes.
There are many reports of Israeli soldiers raping women, but Hillary Clinton (who happily pushed the Libya mass rape lies) seems remarkably quiet about that, yet she’ll amplify seemingly outlandish claims for which we can’t see the evidence. We’re told that #MeToo doesn’t include Jews when in reality it doesn’t include Palestinians.
Every claim that Israel makes turns out to be a projection. Every bad thing done by Hamas is always done twenty times over by Israel, but we’re supposed to accept that the physical and psychological torture of an entire population, the killing of 20,000 civilians (so far) and the maiming of 70,000 is okay because if we don’t, not only are we anti-Semitic and pro-terrorism, but we’re pro-rape now. This propaganda effort is so disgusting.
