Enabled by the USA, UK & servile Arab states, Israel has slaughtered an average of 122 Palestinians EVERY DAY for 629 days

The international political-economic system is not just a disgrace, its a corrupt and vicious murder machine. This is genocidal mania in broad daylight. No one will do anything to stop this massacre. We can only watch the IDF (which styles itself ‘the most moral army in the world’), bombs hospitals, refugee camps, schools, and ‘safe… Read More Enabled by the USA, UK & servile Arab states, Israel has slaughtered an average of 122 Palestinians EVERY DAY for 629 days

You can oppose Israel’s policies without killing Jewish people

NB: Most of what this author writes is rational and humane. The violent attacks on Jewish Americans simply for being Jews is a horrible crime. The concepts of collective guilt and the inter-generational transfer of guilt are poisonous doctrines. Antisemitism is one of these, and began as a Christian form of bigotry.

Zionism & Americanism are the front lines of Western civilisation and freedom in our world today: Pete Hegseth US Secretary of Defense

NB: The source of the above wisdom by America’s new Secretary of Defense is this fact-sheet. There are many others sources.

He and his cronies will meet the same fate of the Presidents… Read More Nation-states as national homes; and Sir Edwin Montagu’s views on Zionism (1917)
