Yeah, I know. A lot of Americans relate to the type of apartheid Israel is. That's not the problem, AIPAC has moved from just lobbying. They want unconditional support no matter Israel's actions which is the reason they have moved lately to spending large amounts of money on elections. They also want no opposition or any politician highlighting Israel's war crimes, either starvation or any other genocidal acts.

Are you thinking what we're all thinking? Gas chambers in West Bank, Gaza and Palestine next?

Go to next level killing, genocide, dead bodies. Shooting and bombing is not effective for a full wipe out. And US will keep quiet, cos Hey Pac.

Good. Feck him and whatever remains of Hamas.

Meanwhile, I wonder what it would take for the US or other Western nations to sway enough politicians to pass a motion of no confidence against Netanyahu at the Knesset. With a number of Western politicians already making direct contact with Benny Gantz in the last few days and weeks, I guess everyone is preparing for the long overdue post-Netanyahu era.

Are we not all thinking, what's coming next from Israel? If not, then we really still haven't got it yet.

There's no need for that. Famine and epidemics in the next few months will likely kill tens of thousands and that's not taking into account the constant bombing and the high possibility of a Rafah ground invasion.

There's a reason why some American politicians are washing their hands off Netanyahu and his gang of terrorists lately.

 


There's a reason Israel still haven't gone into Rafah despite their constant threats over the past 2-3 months.

Fair enough, it depends on optimism v pessimism. I've seen Western leaders moral facade on TV for many decades now so I'm more sceptical. For me, we're just starting phase two from the West+Israel:

This linked in post is obviously not talking about gas chambers. But if there's anything I've learnt about history is that you can learn things from history.

And there's not a single person on here that can put their hand on their heart to say Israel are not that deranged or sick enough that they would use gas chambers. That in itself is the worry. Because they ARE sick enough. Whether they end up not doing it or not is another thing.

Israel would not do what it was a mark on mostly jews in WWII. Period.

They are doing abhorrent things and I have little doubts that their goal empty gaza of palestinians being via genocide and ethnic cleansing. Only international pressure might avoid it but I am skeptical

So far, all I've got is below, which seems to be a quote in a chat under an article. Chomsky's potential words are in inverted commas, with the introductory paragraph being from the poster:

As for the race & IQ debate. I suppose you are referring to Chomsky’s dismissal of Richard Herrnstein’s IQ. In fact questioning the propriety of some particular scientific investigation is *not* equivalent to a call for the *banning* much less of punishing such an investigation. I can see no double standard just common (left-libertarian) sense. There would have been equivalence had Chomsky suggestes banning Herrnstein’s article or firing him from his university position. This was not the case. The relevant quote regarding Chomsky’s criticism of Herrnstein’s IQ is this:

“… the question of the validity and scientific status of a particular point of view is, of course, logically independent from the question of its social function; each is a legitimate topic of inquiry, and the latter becomes of particular interest when the point of view in question is revealed to be seriously deficient on empirical or logical grounds.

… (The scientist) is responsible for the effects of what he does, insofar as they can be clearly foreseen. If the likely consequences of his “scientific work” (can be used as a justification for class and caste hierarchies), he has the responsibility to take this likelihood into account. This would be true even if the work had real scientific merit-more so, in fact, in this case.

Similarly imagine a psychologist in Hitler’s Germany who thought he could show that Jews had a genetically determined tendency toward usury … or a drive toward antisocial conspiracy and domination, and so on. If he were criticized for even undertaking these studies, could he merely respond that “a neutral commentator … would have to say that the case is simply not settled” and that the “fundamental issue” is “whether inquiry shall (again) be shut off because someone thinks society is best left in ignorance?” I think not. Rather I think that such a response would have been met with justifiable contempt. At best he could claim that he is faced with a conflict of values. On the one hand, there is the alleged scientific importance of determining whether, in fact, Jews have a genetically determined tendency toward usury and domination (as might conceivably be the case). On the other, there is the likelihood that even opening this question and regarding it as a subject for scientific inquiry would provide ammunition for Goebbels and Rosenberg and their henchmen. Were this hypothetical psychologist to disregard the likely social consequences of his research (or even his undertaking of research) under existing social conditions, he would fully deserve the contempt of decent people. Of course, scientific curiosity should be encouraged (though fallacious argument and investigation of silly questions should not), but it is not an absolute value.”

As fecking always. I suspected as much when the raising of Faurisson prompted a "not only that." His defence of Faurisson stems directly from enlightenment values, and Voltaire’s defence of freedom of speech even if the words are abhorrent, but I’ve seen so many people confidently proclaim that Chomsky agrees with Holocaust deniers.

Thanks for doing the leg-work, my googling was fruitless.
 
The Washington Post has a good article summarizing the way this has gone awry for the Biden administration.

This article, based on interviews with 20 administration officials and outside advisers, examines how Biden, more than five months after the Oct. 7 attacks, has found himself deeply entangled in a war he does not want and that threatens to become a defining element of his tenure. His allies privately acknowledge that it has done him significant damage domestically and globally and could easily become his biggest foreign policy cataclysm.

On Oct. 27, three weeks into Israel’s punishing counterattack in Gaza, top Biden officials privately told a small group assembled at the White House what they would not say in public: Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets.
Click to expand...

Biden’s strategy from the outset rested on a central trade-off: that if he showed Israel unequivocal, even defiant, support early on, he could ultimately influence its conduct of the war. Some administration officials now concede the strategy is heading toward failure, and in private talks, they voice a striking frustration and uncertainty about how the war will end.

Just another case of them trying to wash their hands of the worst of Israeli crimes and pretend they don't support it. Their actions and earlier words show they supported it but i'm sure they'll continue to try gaslight everyone over the coming months.

It's also no surprise because the US were no better in iraq. The only major difference is the Israeli government don't even try and mask their hatred.
 


This country not a serious country, he is the head of a UN organisation and they will not let him do his work.

No amount of whitewashing via US media will whitewash Biden's image of complicity in Israels war crimes.

Honestly?

You really think IDF are going to round up Palestinians and systematically gas them in some sort of final solution?

You do realise that if they so wished, the IDF could wipe out Gaza from the air in about 24 hours. Why bother with the effort of gas chambers and risking the lives of their own soldiers on the ground?
 


Imagine the scaremongering of Chinese interference on Tik-Tok when there's this.

Tbf this article makes him even more complicit. He already knew that the bombs were indiscriminate and kept sending more and more weapons. He also kept providing political and diplomatic cover. If I'm not wrong, this was the period with the highest average death toll.

They want more chaos and famine to spread. Again, their depravity is on another level.
 
Anyone that has any involvement in leadership and/or utility is being targeted with their family and children

Doctors, nurses, university teachers, journalist, people that organizes anything in this chaos

They are doing systematically. They are killing and punishing the most prepared in gaza to impoverish them of human capital.

Even Blinken joining in with the anti semitic attacks now. Why isn't he talking about Syria and Congo?

It's strange though, gfactor showed us the bustling markets of Gaza just last week. Odd disparity there.

Thankfully, Israel is
doing everything it can to flood Gaza with aid, including by land air and sea

Thank god for that. Probably explains those bustling markets.

I mean that post is beyond idiotic but Gaza is essentially wiped out.

The majority of buildings across the entire strip destroyed, including major cultural buildings like universities, mosques, schools, hospitals.

Almost the entire population displaced.

By the end of the war, conservatively 1 in 50 people in Gaza at least will be dead (for reference a similar level of death in Israel would be almost 200,000 people).

100% of the population at severe acute food insecurity (despite those bustling markets).

The IDF, if it's stated aim was to wipe out Hamas, clearly also cannot just attack from the air, due to the presence of the tunnels.

Months ago there were reports Israel wanted different clans and families to administer Gaza, a tried-and-failed method from decades ago. In the past couple of weeks there have been all sorts of reports saying Israel wanted to provide weapons for clans within Gaza, with a claim of intention to facilitate aid deliveries [Reuters] [Mada Masr] [Israel Hayom].

Last week there were reports that Israel contacted a group of Gaza's powerful clans and families with this offer, which was reportedly rejected by all, as they refused to cooperate except through the involvement of security services in Gaza, in other words Hamas' civilian authorities & police [Al Jazeera Arabic] [Younis Tirawi Twitter].

• Head of the families in Gaza informed UN officials at today's meeting that they refused to cooperate except through the security services in Gaza.

• The families expressed their willingness to cooperate in bringing in and distributing aid, provided that they coordinate with the security services in Gaza.

• Head of the Israeli military coordination personally contacted the families, but his offer of cooperation was rejected.

• An expected meeting on Saturday between UNRWA officials and the police officials in Gaza to agree on the mechanism for the entry of aid.


Since that Saturday meeting, Israel has killed at least 3 high profile Hamas police officials who were responsible for coordinating aid. Seems that they're trying to rapidly entrench a warlord disorder and ensure complete anarchy within Gaza by killing any possibility for order as they force millions to go hungry.

Military action needs to be taken against Israel.

Isn't that''s what's already happened by way of Hamas and 10.7, subsequent Hezbollah attacks in the north, the constant flow of Iranian weapons to their regional proxies, the Houthis shooting missiles at Israel etc. ?

What other realistic military action are you proposing ?

I didn't say it was realistic. In a more moral world where the west actually backed up their bullshit, we'd be looking at a full ground invasion.
