The only good thing from the events of the last year is the exposure of both Israeli and US/Western States genocidal ideology. It's sad it to almost 80 years for us to see it. I've been hearing about the West Bank and Palestine being stolen my entire life, and I've only been aware for a handful of years. No one I know feels any of the empathy I feel, none of the sorrow and compassion.... I'm just flabbergasted so often by the refusal to see reality (and I'm schizophrenic, so WTF)
Do you realise this comment is racist? No ethnic group is better than another. All humans are equal. Believing otherwise is racial supremacy and the first step towards the genocide we are witnessing.
G'day Kent, this comment is racist(sic), lumping a nation into the actions of one is racist but stating that a nation's actions which are seen to be supported by the nations citizens year after year is not nor could it be racist, are you a troll or one who supports anti semitism in the face of genocide? It is possible you are attempting to be balanced but you are only playing into the hands of the genocidalists by creating division with your perfection at the cost of good.
Maybe you could elaborate on your thoughts for your comment?
Thank you for your article. God bless the resistance and every Palestinian. I am so sorry for this living nightmare that has been upon and endured by them. It literally pains me that “Israel” still stands. The fact that those despicable sodomites put wristbands with a threat on the returned hostages completely enrages me. And leaving handcuffs on some of them.. oh my God, I can’t with that. I have so much unlimited, unrelenting hatred and rage. May I live to see the destruction of “Israel” and its land squatting vermin. It can’t come soon enough.
Thank you friend, for your kind words. It doesn’t sound narcissistic Nat, there’s great comfort in knowing we’re not alone in our loathing of “those depraved ghouls” 😉quoting your very articulate description of the pestilence that infests Palestine. ❤️❤️
You have put the rage and all consuming hatred I feel towards those zionist rats into words better than I could have. As narcisstic as this may sound, I feel slightly better just knowing that others feel this rage and hatred towards those depraved ghouls too. May we all get to live to see the destruction of Israel and its land squatting vermin (as you so eloquently and accurately described them).
It pains and enrages me too, but actually the Palestinians are following Islam’s rules. The Quran does allow for equal measure, but it’s states that it’s better if you don’t retaliate in the way of your offender. In the case of taking hostages, the Quran says you are to treat your hostages of war with humanity, as they are not fighting you and are your captive, and, actually, it’s forbidden to mistreat them.
While I totally agree with you about how infuriating it is to see the difference in treatment of the Palestinians from the vermin who call themselves “the chosen ones”, I’m glad Hamas treats their hostages well. It shatters the narrative “Israel” and its merry band of bootlickers has projected on to them, allowing the world to see who the true victim is. “Israel” is a pig and no amount of lipstick can change that fact. ❤️
I completely agree with you, and I feel the same way. There’s no doubt about it. My only question, though, is why aren’t the Palestinians treating the Zionist POWs in the same way the Zionists treat the Palestinian prisoners? The Palestinians often claim that they’re following Islam's rules on treating prisoners of war, but that’s a huge misrepresentation of Islamic teachings. The Quran itself states that prisoners should be treated in the same manner they are treating their own. It boils my blood to see these Zionists walking out in great health, with perfectly styled hair and clear skin, while Palestinians are being tortured, raped, and abused every day in prison. It just doesn’t make sense.
Thank you so much for adding context and detail we would never see otherwise.. so many points like the banner next to the stage w map of the Ra’im settlement in the Gaza would never hit my radar or confiscated vehicles makes sense but totally flew by without your mention.
No matter how enlightened we try to be nothing informs better than local sources w appreciation to late great John Pilger who put Palestine reality on my radar in 2009.. free to watch and download from Internet Archive <3.
We still have Chris Hedges but if he went anywhere near the frontlines of this, his art at truth telling would hurt so much that he’d be assassinated by the genocidal Israeli regime. As would Pilger had he been around in this time.
I am still unsure of 1 aspect of all of this. You believe that 7 Oct. was a complete surprise for the Talmudic Nazi gang running the show in their illegitimate entity.
I am not at all convinced that was the case.
Why were the organizers of the rave party ordered on 6 Oct. to move the venu closer to the Gaza border?
Why did it take the IGF ("israeli" genocidal forces) 8 hours to arrive on the scene? It is not as if the "country" is the size of Russia or even the U.S., heck it is ½ the size of the Netherlands!
I have seen a video showing "israeli" forces opening a gate in the apartheid wall to waiting Hamas fighters on the other side.
The border is the best guarded border in the world, not even a cockroach could approach it without setting off alarms.
Then there are the burned out cars that were put in place by the IGF after the event to support their mendacious narrative.
And there are other points. In any case, lots of things don't stack with appearances.
My interpretation: the Satanyahooo organized crime syndicate made a deal with Hamas for the attack on 7 Oct. Hamas agreed but then went rogue.
Nazisraelis pandering themselves as "teH zh0z3N b1bl!cAl pe0pl3" is the equivalent of marketing manure as multivitamin. How anyone in the West- nay, just *anywhere* on the planet still willingly falls into that sinkhole of lies is beyond me. Though at least the unbroken consistent pattern of Judeonazi upside-down lies and its self-exposure has proven one matter conclusively by this point in time: the resilient and upright residents of Palestine were the true special people all along.
Again very little of these contrasting images and video shown in the western mainstream media, and not discussed at all. All means employed to keep their public in the dark.
2. Sure. I didn't add this qualifier in the article because what he has written is no different from the testimonies of the other prisoners released by the resistance. The only difference is that Siegel's testimony is in written form.
3. You surely can't expect the resistance to feed him exactly what he wants/needs when his government has besieged the entire enclave with the explicit aim of starving everyone to death. There are numerous videos released by the resistance where the Israeli prisoners are begging the Zionist leadership to ease the siege and bombing and how the conditions in the Strip also impact their living conditions. If the choice was between eating meat and starving to death, Siegel made the sensible choice.
3. Of course. My point was that such hostages' notes should never be taken as the whole unvarnished truth, are often dictated, will only be published by the captors if they say something that they approve, and in almost all cases are written under duress and emotional distress.
There are people I trust (within the limits of human fallibility, which applies to all of us). But they do not have great power, or represent powerful organizations, religions, corporations or states.

The United States and Israel are bullies and the world can see that the Palestinians are better human beings.

I am glad you enjoyed this piece.
John Pilger is a hero. There are few truth tellers like him, if any.
We still have Chris Hedges but if he went anywhere near the frontlines of this, his art at truth telling would hurt so much that he’d be assassinated by the genocidal Israeli regime. As would Pilger had he been around in this time.
The best yet (Again!)
I now save your stack until just before I go to sleep as it raises my spirit so much.
Thank you Tony. Always appreciate your comments.
Again, a good article from you.

You’ve done your worst and yet Palestinians show you a lesson in humanity , the west should take note with it’s hypocrisy and bullshit demockary

Interesting but a few points for accuracy ...
1. The first line of the letter translates as "My name is Keith Siegel and I am from Kfar Aza", not as quoted.
2. Letters written by hostages cannot be taken at face value.
3. Mr Siegal, a vegetarian, has stated after his release that he had to eat meat when provided because of the very limited supply of food.
1. Okay. I have fixed the copy.
2. Sure. I didn't add this qualifier in the article because what he has written is no different from the testimonies of the other prisoners released by the resistance. The only difference is that Siegel's testimony is in written form.
3. You surely can't expect the resistance to feed him exactly what he wants/needs when his government has besieged the entire enclave with the explicit aim of starving everyone to death. There are numerous videos released by the resistance where the Israeli prisoners are begging the Zionist leadership to ease the siege and bombing and how the conditions in the Strip also impact their living conditions.

Of course your point is to trust no one.
There are people I trust (within the limits of human fallibility, which applies to all of us). But they do not have great power, or represent powerful organizations, religions, corporations or states.
I have no reason to doubt point 3. But surely this is just a further indictment of Israel’s criminal mass-starvation policy?
I'm just watching the news re "....the greatest friend israel has ever had".
I did say that something bad was coming on day 16.
I am absolutely gobsmacked and if the rest of the world doesn't comdemn this, then I truly think I am right about all our futures.
