Well, earthquakes DID contribute to the destruction of the Minoan civilization. The Israelis' purpose is clear--to make Gaza impossible for Palestinians to survive in. If making a particular area of land uninhabitable for a specific group of people is genocide, then what Israel is doing is a textbook case of it.

The same applies to the West Bank. If Israel isn't committing a genocide right now, then the Europeans didn't commit any in the Americas.

Times are changing and the world is awakening to the nightmare in which it was made believe.

The zionist project is a dead project and needs to be buried for to never come back.

Exposing the Gaza death undercount- "a death toll of at least 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza with that number at least doubling by the end by the end of the year."

The number is similar to the Lancet and the Guardian’s science estimate. Ralph says, "The state department has the data but is prohibited from speaking on the subject... The high estimate will approach 1M by the end of the year."

He says write call talk to your congressperson about why the state department is suppressing the accurate count. A number of commentators including Nader have said that the one sided industrial scale of the Gaza genocide using tools of modern war has eclipsed anything perpetrated in history. The industrial genocide expanding to the west bank and jerusalem targeting 6 million Palestinians is significant to the mad history of Europeans.

> Exposing the Gaza death undercount- "a death toll of at least 300,000 Palestinians in Gaza with that number at least doubling by the end by the end of the year."

The irony is that in 1984 the Bad Arolsen Archive/International Red Cross stated their records showed the total number of Jews killed in 16 German-controlled labor-camps (15 major ones plus “others” ) amounted to 282,077.

In 1993 they updated the figure to 296,081, some 4000 shy of 300k. But that covered 5 years of war. The ZioNazis achieved that in 10 months.

"....No one holds Israelis to account. They are above the law. The rules-based international order shields the Israelis from justice, not make them face it....."

It is by now dawning on everyone that Israel's foreign legion in D.C. has implemented a ZIONIST-RULED international order.

This is both heartbreaking and beyond horrific in equal measure. This cruel and barbaric destruction is absolutely insane and will never bring peace.

What we who care are compelled by conscience and compassion to witness and you are painfully describing week after week, is long beyond depraved, long beyond horrific; there are no words left in the human lexicon because what is left of whatever once was human in those in Israel/IDF/mercenary brigades committing these atrocities towards the Gazans/Palestinians, and the governments/multinationals/banks/sociopaths enabling them - for Power, Greed/Lust, the delusion of Empire - has entered into what can only be called the demonic. The words can maybe best be found in Dante's Inferno.

But what we can know is that these sub-human Entities may seem for now to be above International Law and justice, but they never will be or have been above the Greater Laws of our Sacred Universe, God's law and Divine Justice as the 99th chapter of the Qur'an, Az'Zalzalah you quote describes. I have no doubt that the long suffering Gazans/Palestinians living and dying through these unspeakable atrocities are and will find Paradise. And that "whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it” - and not just in some future end time. From all I understand in my decades of life on Mother Earth, the perpetrators could not be committing such deliberate unspeakable terror and violence except by already living in that state of Hell, that state of evil.

When this shocked and deeply bereft elderly man says: "This is not a war, my brother," "This is a really big earthquake. This is an earthquake. This is complete destruction." For him, for them, this "earthquake" in Al Mawasi is happening NOW and is an end time for those whose lives were lost and for those who are living through their unimaginable losses. Not in some distant end of times far away. For them, life will never ever be the same. But there is hopefully some solace, along with the terrible grief, in knowing that Divine Justice and that weighing of souls is happening right now.

Knowing that divine justice will never fail to deliver is a huge solace indeed, especially when there is nothing but profound injustice for the Gazans.

And of course, it doesn't have to be in some distant future, many will be tormented here and now. For example, this guy who killed himself after wreaking havoc in Gaza: https://palestinewillbefree.substack.com/p/the-curious-case-of-eliran-mizrahi

Thank you for citing your article about this haunted Israeli man and about the organization "Breaking the Silence" formed by IDF vets speaking to what this genocide has done to them. Most of them who grew up in Israel were heavily brainwashed and indoctrinated since early childhood (i.e that Palestinians are not human, forever want to kill Israelis, etc. etc.) (Miko Peled, in "The General's Son," documents his own experience of this, brought up as a Zionist youth, IDF, his transformation to peace activist). Year by year these young men and women's consciences were very systematically disengaged/stolen by the State, and then for those in this article, abruptly waking up to reality, to shock after shock in Gaza in the most horrific ways to what they have been brought to do (you mention 30,000 in February; One can only imagine the numbers now!). I understand the Israelis are turning increasingly to hiring private Mercenaries, the most cold blooded killers for profit, to "get the job done."

The remorse and the guilt will never end for these vets. So much tragedy on all sides! So much deliberate, intentional human sacrifice by the Powers of Empire, of Greed and Destruction,- entities completely incapable of remorse.

We need to know this impact on Israeli soldiers too, learn from this, recognize them as the victims of Empire as well, yet this will probably never be reported in the American media. We rarely ever hear about our own US soldiers: the suicide rate among US vets is 22 per day!!! (which has especially grown since Iraq and Afghanistan). And suicide is the LEADING cause of death among US soldiers! We are only allowed to glorify soldiers as the best of the best fighting for our Country and "Democracy." We are only allowed Lies.

As you say at the end of this article, the level of care the Palestinians will need, the amount of trauma healing - and their great need for the greater Palestinian community - will be enormous and ongoing.

The Israeli’s are going to kill them all or make them emigrate; they are not going to entertain a long term apartheid program.

Yes, of course that is the Zionist Israel/US Empire goal. It's still always important to make distinctions between the governmental Powers That Be and the degree of personal awareness/political/social/religious and ethnic varieties of individual people living under those regimes. We need to pay attention to these undercurrents and to the traumatic painful personal breakthroughs described in the article cited above, for example, because it is possible in these despotic, cruel and authoritarian times that the only possible change will come in some unexpected ways from the bottom up.

I dedicate this to Palestinians and it is about the shame of those who remain silent while Gaza is bombed nightly.

Silence is not seen,

It is heard by those who cry,

Just before they die.

I believe, based on extensive reading, that the Israel Zionists have intentionally committed genocide on Palestinians in Gaza because their South Africa Apartheid strategy was failing. So they moved from Apartheid strategy to Genocide strategy. In essence they have and will continue to kill every Palestinian in Gaza or make the few survivors emigrate. Forced emigration is not all that different than what the Brits did to the Irish a 200 years ago.

Speaking of Irish, I am Irish-American Catholic and a US military veteran; I am increasingly ashamed of my Catholic community, our silent Pope, my membership in Irish American clans (eg AOH) and veteran groups (eg American Legion) for their mostly silence in the face of genocide that America directly sponsored this year.

How people can see many tens of thousands of children being killed and having pathetic retorts like “those numbers aren’t accurate” or “but they started it” is beyond me. Everyone of those retorts reminds me of the examples used when blaming the Germans for not doing enough to stop the Holocaust. Israel has already committed a Holocaust on Palestinians this year and with US money, weapons and some kind of blessing that is wholly not Christian in nature.

ZioNaziland does not deserve to exist, so it is high time that racist sewer gets wiped off the map.

I'm not a historical expert, but the USA has been protecting Israel for decades because it is a democracy surrounded by Arabs. This is a lame excuse. Isreal has maintained an

open air concentration camp in Gaza.

Today Netanyahu is about to loose his position.

He's desperate. The scale of his genocide is

total. He wants all Palestinians killed or deported. Gaza is dust.

The USA cannot support this kind of annihilation today. We must stop sending our weapons to Israel. Genocide does not deserve support. Every human life deserves freedom and dignity.

Israel has never been a democracy; it landed on Palestine and took it over. Israelis must relinquish its hold on Palestine.

And the US must let Israel determine its future.

The horrific scene shown by pen and other ways here this week and ongoing are sooooo real today to me that I’ve got to find ways to DEAL by some kind of clarity for people visiting our weekend vigils.

How are others who read and saw some of these doing this???

Go my Irish-American Catholic brothers, sisters and fellow military veterans; Zionist Israel Jewish people terrorized another little girl today. How did that make you feel about yourself? What will you say to Jesus Christ when He asks what you did for these little children? Did you call them a terrorist and look away?
