Palestinians are left with no option but to resist by every means available, because resistance is not just their right, it’s their only path to survival against a genocidal regime. And let’s be clear, it is not only the Zionist regime that is guilty here; almost the entire West is complicit, supplying and deploying the most sophisticated machinery of death against the most defenceless people on earth. They rain bombs on a tiny, besieged enclave where children, women, and men have nowhere to escape. The so-called champions of “human rights” in the West are instead the very architects of mass slaughter, unleashing the full force of their military power against one of the most deprived and helpless populations in the world. This is not a war, it’s an extermination backed by hypocrisy on a global scale.
@caitoz LoL... Just laugh at this absurd framing. How exactly does the terror of Hamas "stop genocide" in a war they started? Losing a war doesn’t become genocide magically. The confidence of the ridiculous vs. the skepticism of the rational—just as Russell observed.
The Roots of Israel's Supremacist Ethos To understand Israel's Supremacist Ethos, it helps to understand some basics about human nature... Start from the most basic fact we know--from experience--about human social relations & that is all humans are born with a fundamental [emotional] need for approval Experience teaches us the most fulfilling & moral way to get this need satisfied is by investing yourself in acts of kindness & generosity, which you know will instill feelings of gratitude [= approval] within the hearts of the recipients of your good will The result: all involved are winners! Unfortunately, most people are always trying to pretend that they don't have any need for the approval of others. Nevertheless, they still want to experience it, only without anyone taking notice of their own personal emotional vulnerability They discover they can do this--achieve both goals simultaneously--if they invest themselves in group-identities and group-comparisons. Consider... Whenever you hear a member of your group favorably compare your group to another group, you will perceive--because you identify with your group--that you just heard yourself being described in an approving way. Emotional need satisfied! So, if the leaders of a group you identify with point their fingers at some "Other" people and denigrate them for their alleged imperfections, every enthusiastic member of your group will understand that what they just heard [indirectly expressed] is implicit approval of them This perception generates emotional pleasure, a pleasure that can become truly addictive. Indeed, addiction is your fate unless your moral sensibilities kick in & you notice just how fundamentally immoral this kind of pleasure-seeking is It is, in fact, a demonic approach to approval-seeking because it always relies on the victimization of others This is key to understanding the ultimately malignant motivations which spawn supremacist groups like Israel's Zionists Their members' primary motivation is not actually a desire to be evil, but rather a desire to keep experiencing that pleasure they are able to give each other whenever they denigrate others Giving themselves permission to wallow in self-praise at a time of war can easily draw them into group participation atrocities, where they mock & fully de-humanize their declared enemy, simply to enjoy more moments of group-expressed implicit approval They discover that the more brutally & sadistically they treat captured prisoners the more fortunate they feel to be members of The Superior Group that possesses all the power & 'cleverness' at that very moment. They'll smile at each other while they're treating their enemies like non-human 'Threat Things' Both KKK lynchings & the scenes we saw from Abu Ghraib were generated by supremacist groups who felt unrestrained while indulging in the most despicable form of approval-seeking that there is ------------------------------ When smiling IDF soldiers pose with their trophies -the underwear & toys of their victims- their intent is to boast of their INDIFFERENCE to the pain & suffering they've been inflicting on Palestinian women and children To their fans back home, they're saying, "See, it doesn't bother me in the least that I just killed these women and children. IT GAVE ME PLEASURE..." They communicate this sentiment with their smiles and fully expect fellow Zionists back home will heap gushing approval on them for what they did And it always arrives because Israeli Zionists all understand how important it is for them to offer emotional support to each other when they are raping & killing Goyim At this point, Israeli Zionists are addicted to the emotional pleasure that they know they are able to give to each other at any time They 100% believe that within their Supremacist Cult, they can get all the approval they need from each other even while the outside world perceives them to be hideous monsters from the depths of hell Feelings of Jewish supremacy, reinforced by the vocal support of fellow supremacists, is what leads directly to the habitual dehumanization of any non-Jews who dare resist Zionist ambitions It's the terrifying legacy of the Zionist Project...😔
@caitoz World police wacking the non compliant all around the world
@caitoz Israel cannot have a day in what happens to Gaza or Palestinians. What a world are we in when the genocide is gets to decide what happens. Israel must be demilitarized and dismantled as Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Germany all were because of their genocides.
@caitoz Ethnic cleansing moves forward anyway. Rub-a-dub-dub.
@caitoz Ethnic cleansing will certainly proceed if Hamas keeps fighting.
@caitoz This is easily the most ignorant take I've seen in a long time. Hamas' mission is to eradicate Israel. Jews are the indigenous people of the area that has been known as Palestine before becoming Israel once again. Yet Hamas don't recognize this fact. Open a book, get educated.
@caitoz Caitlin Johnstone: "Look how kind, altruistic, & an independent journalist I'm. But secretly & ignorantly I support the 1965 Western-Backed Coup & Genocide in Indonesia, where my country Australia participated in. Australia has also committed many war crimes & genocide in 🇮🇩. "
