I was initially hesitant about even watching this video even though the channel / media outlet usually does good work. The title is rather sensational sounding, but more importantly, it triggered a red flag for the antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are in control of everything, so it turned me off at first. Exposed: Israeli Spies in U.S. Media Manufacture Consent for Genocide and Empire. I was pleasantly surprised to hear them specifically explain that what they are talking about is not at all like that antisemitic conspiracy theory. In fact, what they are talking about is precisely the sort of thing—one of many things—that I was trying to refer to in my recent post No, Israel doesn’t “control” the U.S.

No, Israel doesn’t “control” the U.S.
Surely we should have all learned by now not to trust anything the U.S. federal government tells us. Surely no one believes the Biden-Harris administration suddenly had a revelation about Israel’s brutal and unbelievably savage genocide of the Palestinians? Not only are they now suddenly (supposedly) very concerned about Israel’s policy of starvation and no medical care, they have pretty much admitted that they’ve known full well that Israel has been deliberately blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
Don’t believe for a second that they are actually considering the possibility of withholding military supplies and weapons unless Israel makes sure humanitarian aid gets into northern Gaza. That’s not a sincere threat, that’s theater. What is happening is what the U.S. wants. Those at the top in the U.S. govt genuinely don’t fucking care about Palestinians’ lives and welfare, because the racism is deeply bred into them.
I mean, come on, just look at how the U.S. govt treats its own citizens!

One year.
Right now I am supposed to be preparing for the major Hurricane Milton whose path I am literally sitting right in the center of. I am extremely lucky that I am far enough inland that I don’t have to worry about storm surge, and that my mother’s house is a solid structure, and that flooding due to torrential rain and ground saturation is still just down the street from us.
In all honesty, I am having a hard time thinking about anything but the genocide (& etc) in Gaza, West Bank, and now Lebanon.

Don’t look away
Don’t look away from Gaza, and the West Bank, and Jerusalem. The IOF takes advantage of people’s attention being drawn elsewhere. Their massacres of Palestinians are still very numerous and brutal. And the Lebanese are being attacked precisely because they refuse to look away from Gaza and are standing up for the Palestinians. These people are such beautiful people, such honorable people.
I told you…
I told you the resistance is ready.
Day one Zionazi troops actually try to enter Lebanon, and Hizbollah turns them right back around. Not a good start for the Zionazi IOF.

The Terrorism of Western supremacy, imperialism and hypocrisy
Watching this, and watching the world watch this, and watching my government pretend it’s not happening and pretend they’re so unaware and uninvolved while they facilitate it, and hearing the way people talk about it, the words they choose to use: this has put me in a state of so much stress and anxiety, anguish and grief, disgust and despair, and visceral outrage, that I sometimes start shaking.
To start with, for the record, Hassan Nasrallah was not a terrorist. Do not refer to Hizbollah as a “terrorist organization”.

Actually, no, Hamas do NOT use “human shields”
Let’s dismantle the claim that Hamas use civilian Palestinians as “human shields” by embedding themselves within the civilian population and infrastructure, and that this is the reason why the civilian death toll in Gaza is so absurdly high. That is, the high death toll is Hamas’s fault, not the fault of Israel and the IOF who are the ones doing the actual killing. First, I will give you a bunch of reasons why we should believe the “human shields” claim is false. Then I will tell you how we can know definitively that it is false, and that the IOF are indeed targeting the civilian population, instead of civilian deaths being mere “collateral damage”.
I just have to say, it is grossly embarrassing how much the U.S. government and Zionists and genocide apologists think we are all very stupid and incapable of looking with our own eyes and figuring out what is really going on. If we took how they describe the situation and switched out the location and the people involved to be anywhere in the West, nobody would ever in their right mind claim what they are now trying to convince us about Hamas and the IOF.

I feel like I’ve not slept in ten months
My head is so jumbled with rage and disgust and grief and angst and so many images and thoughts about the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it’s nearly impossible for me to focus enough to write. Never before has racism so deeply shocked me to my core. I think because this racism is different from any other kind of racism; it is so specific, it is so contextual, it often feels it reaches the level of malicious. But it also comes with an amount and level of gaslighting and propaganda like nothing else. Of course we’ve experienced gaslighting and propaganda against blacks here in the U.S., for example regarding police brutality or intelligence. But the racist gaslighting and propaganda against Palestinians (in Palestine) feels, across the board, so deeply personal in its vitriolic viciousness.
I am so enraged and disgusted watching the spokespeople for the U.S. government still to this day, after ten months of the most brutal and savage genocide, so condescendingly dismiss the ever increasing numbers of Palestinians slaughtered and gruesomely injured to bring up Oct 7 again, to emphasize Oct 7, to keep redirecting our attention to Oct 7, to keep trying to drill it into our heads that Palestinian lives just don’t matter nearly as much as Israeli lives do. They brazenly stand up there and keep bringing up Oct 7. In the face of the unspeakable horrific atrocities that Israel is committing and that the U.S. is helping them commit against the Palestinians in Gaza, they insist that we not pay attention to that, because Oct 7, because Hamas, because Israel must defend itself.
I keep not posting my writing because I want to put my thoughts into a coherent order. After all, I am trying to lay out an argument, to make a case.
This is a mistake if I want to get anything posted and put out there. So I really just need to ditch presenting in a coherent order and just write and post whatever I can.
(It wouldn’t be so challenging if I weren’t daily fighting against my conditions. And I know that sounds trite in comparison to what Palestinians are going through. And it is. I know that, with my conditions, I would not have survived long in Gaza after Oct 7.)

Israel is sick
Polio has been confirmed to be in Gaza now, too. Nice job, Israel. If there’s an outbreak of polio, or any other infectious disease currently spreading in Gaza because of the savage cruelty of Israel, the whole world will know who to blame.

Hamas & the Resistance are winning
The Resistance puts out video clips everyday. But many people have doubted the videos showing them damaging and destroying tanks, saying the explosions aren’t really penetrating the armor or that they are really part of the tank’s defense system. If that were true, and that all the video clips of the IOF hauling off the damaged tanks afterwards are somehow faked, then the IOF wouldn’t be running out of tanks. But they are.
Hamas and the Resistance are winning. 🇵🇸
Good Riddance, Joe
Fuck Joe Biden. I’m glad they got him to withdraw from the presidential race, he was surely going to lose. But everyone tripping over themselves to say how much they love him and what a great guy he is and he’s done so much for the country and… disgusting! Fuck them, they’re sycophants and they have no real moral principles. Joe Biden is Genocide Joe, a war criminal gleefully participating and facilitating a genocide against the Palestinians. I don’t care what his career has been like, he has revealed his true colors, and his true color is white supremacy!
I don’t care that he chose a black-Indian woman to be his VP and put a black woman onto the Supreme Court. I’m glad he did so, but that doesn’t “prove” he’s not racist. His unwavering Zionist imperialist genocidal war-mongering against the Palestinians reveals his deeply rooted racism. I once bought into the propaganda of Joe Biden as being an anti-racist, genuinely fighting for social justice and equality, and as being a good person, compassionate, etc. All that was completely obliterated in less than a month—too long, really, but I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt—by his support for and participation in Israel’s brutal and savage war and genocide against Gaza and the Palestinians.
So fuck Joe Biden and good riddance.
And fuck all the sycophants praising him over and over again. Joe Biden has revealed himself to be no different than Trump in being egotistical and authoritarian and obsessed with power. And the Democratic establishment have revealed themselves to be corrupted sycophants no different from the Republicans.

Trump assassination attempt makes an excellent distraction from genocide
I have to say this. Because it’s ridiculous, in a dark and twisted way. Especially given what looks like grave incompetence in the Secret Service. With the very high numbers of Palestinians the IOF have slaughtered the past few days, I cannot help thinking, half jokingly, that somehow Netanyahu—or perhaps Ben-Givr or Smotrich—is behind the assassination attempt on Trump, to give the U.S. such an extreme distraction we cannot take our eyes and ears off of, so that we stop paying attention to the U.S. backed Israel genocide against the Palestinians, at least for a little while. I am half joking, because I honestly wouldn’t put it past them to actually do something like that. Yes, I know Netanyahu wants Trump to win, but he’s starting to have bigger problems, and he knows it’s still a good bet that no matter who the U.S. President is, they’ll let him and Israel basically do whatever the fuck they want. Additionally, regardless of whether the assassination attempt were successful or not, it might also stir up the violent feelings and attitudes that Americans tend to have in spades, which might then morph into feeling more supportive of Israel’s mass murdering Palestinians everyday.
Just sayin’, it’s not impossible…
