The Hebron video made me wonder, how many of those gun wielding setters are form the US, where that barbaric right to own a gun is so well protected? And could there be among them a number who expand that right, by going to the 2!n!st entity, into the right to shoot at will?
It looks like hasbara is all that keeps the 2!n!st entity alive. The irony of exactly USrael invading Iran and proclaiming their moral superiority is too obvious. Mossad and CIA proudly told the world on X that they were involved in the violent 'protests' in Iran, before the illegal invasion. But now the USrael hasbara pretends that Iran is the bad guy...
I also wonder about basic human conscience, empathy and such values. How can such a large group become so depraved that they are capable of such acts? That takes some deep level brainwashing, no? In the past two year I have become aware, more than ever, of the not-so-subtle brainwash that our wonderful western civilization is providing. I am thinking of the innumerable TV shows, movies and PC games, that glorify violence, that push a narrative of good vs evil, where the justification of killing the 'evil' is implicit, where the senses get numbed from seeing so much violence on a very regular basis... I am increasingly repulsed by this kind of 'entertainment'. I guess much of the missile launching type of war must feel like a PC game to many of the 'brave soldiers' pushing buttons whilst looking at a screen.
But this West Bank violence is really next level, so primitive and direct. Part of the brainwash here is the Torah itself, which is in large part a book about justifying violence and killing in the name of supremacy. That narratives comes from a time when all that technology did not exist, when 'Amalek' was about face to face violence and genocide.
May Peace, Justice and Freedom return to Palestine and the Palestinian people.
People can use Jewish or Christian scripture -: the parts they choose to use - to justify virtually anything. But "Thou shalt not kill" is in there too.
Very true. In fact, many wars have been fought in the name of some religion or other. And ugly forms of fundamentalism also exist in the readings of many 'holy books'. Yet at the same time, most of those books will also promote compassion, forgiveness, loving your neighbor, etc.
Exceptional on-site truly-to-goodness old-school Journalistic reporting of the best kind, by Jasper Diamond Nathaniel, on the systematic Settler violence in Palestine's occupied West Bank, where the constant murderous attacks on indigenous Palsetinians by Jewish Ethnosupremacist colonizers -- principally immigrants from North America, Europe, and elsewhere in the Anglosphere and Global North -- are given a completely free hand by the Ethnosupremacist Jewish State of Israel, which permits and encourages these Jewish Ethnosupremacist fanatics to wantonly assault, maim, and kill the Palestinian residents; and, thus, ethnically cleanse the indigenous population by stealing their lands and homes out from under them in broad daylight, because...

...because, in Occupied Palestine, hey.... that's how things are every day here...
My heart bleeds for them, but it has been bleeding for them for a long time. I will tell you who would hold the murderers accountable. Senator Chris Van Hollen. He must, must become our president in 2028! I've been saying that for a long time, too. We must all say it, and keep saying it until it becomes reality. Van Hollen for president in 2028!
This is why prescience without the ability to make people take action was the curse of Cassandra. "Sensitivity" has a lot of connotations with being fragile, but a seismograph is sensitive, and necessary. It took me twenty years to understand what Ken Kesey meant when he said, "I'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph." Accurately predicting a disaster that you then cannot prevent is maddening. Excellent reporting. I hope someday children everywhere are treated with the dignity they deserve.

What is the story with Netanyahu's disappearance? Is he dead or is he just hiding from his own folly? Thanks for another great but gruesome report.

Here's a poem about Cassandra complexes from one of my favorite poets. Spoiler : it's bleak. https://allpoetry.com/poem/8514543-Cassandra-by-Robinson-Jeffers
