What About Nonviolence?
Even sane Westerners like Michael Hoffman who would never call Operation al-Aqsa Flood unprovoked often blubber: “But why don’t the Palestinians try nonviolence?” I emailed Michael back:
“They tried nonviolence. It was called the Great March of Return. Hundreds of nonviolent marchers were killed and thousands were deliberately maimed.
“If you want to get out of the Gaza concentration camp, you have to shoot your way out.”
Bulldozers help too.
“But…but…but nonviolence?”
In fact, millions of Palestinians have been trying nonviolence pretty much nonstop since 1917, when they were first invaded and occupied by the Anglo-Zionist Empire. Every day in Palestine there are nonviolent demonstrations, as well as information activism in the form of meetups, art and poetry production and exhibitions, and countless other creative efforts to get their message across. Palestinian universities are hotbeds of research, teach-ins, and outreach projects. It is all ignored by the Zionist-owned mainstream media, which pumps out nonstop pro-genocide propaganda. (For details, listen to my 2016 interview with Miko Peled and Mazin Qumsiyeh.)
The Multipolar World Has No Room for Israel
The unprecedented military success of Operation al-Aqsa Flood came on Vladimir Putin’s birthday. Like Putin’s Special Military Operation, it was a pre-emptive response to preparations for a massive attack. As Sam Husseini aptly observed:
…the chessboard was basically set for Israel to pummel the Palestinians. This was especially driven by the US government drive for "normalization" between Arab states with Israel — see recent news release I did for my day job. This and other things -- Turkish president Erdoğan meeting Netanyahu for the first time recently -- made it apparent that Israel was positioned to inflict massive violence against the Palestinians. I don't know but suspect that Hamas came to the same conclusion and decided to strike first.
I doubt Hamas planned Operation al-Aqsa Flood as a birthday present for Putin, but the symbolism was apt. Putin is living proof that military resistance works: Even when you’re hugely outspent, outgunned, and above all out-propagandized by the Anglo-Zionist Empire, you can still kick them in the teeth—and ultimately defeat them.
Putin’s 2015 decision to use military power to save Syria from the Anglo-Zionists came at the behest of the great Iranian general and martyr Qasem Soleimani. Soleimani helped Putin understand that the neocon-captured Anglo-Zionists are non-agreement-capable, bent on global domination, and conversant in only one language: the language of force.
It’s no coincidence that Soleimani and his surviving team in Tehran are not only the arch-enemies of Zionism, but also the avant-garde in the march towards multipolarity. The two projects—dismantling the US-led unipolar order, and liberating Palestine—are inseparable.
The Zionist entity squatting in Palestine is only there due to the colossal financial and military support it extracts from Occupied Washington. In 1973, almost fifty years to the day before Operation al-Aqsa Flood, a similarly brilliant surprise attack, i.e. a “catastrophic Israeli intelligence failure,” would have erased the Entity from the map had it not been for Kissinger threatening to nuke the USSR while showering emergency military aid on Tel Aviv.
Today, as in 1973, “Israel” disappears as soon as the US taxpayer stops bleeding for it. And as the multipolar world progresses and the US dollar collapses, you can bet that American taxpayers are going to stop propping up the Zionists. (If Americans ever figure out who destroyed their country, they’ll do a lot worse than just cutting off the funds.)
Some argue that as US hegemony recedes, the Zionists will survive by making new friends, including Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco, and emerging big powers like India and China. These analysts don’t seem to realize that the emerging world majority absolutely loathes Zionism and the extreme, genocidal version of Western colonialism it represents. Overwhelming majorities in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Sudan, and Morocco—the five Arab countries whose governments were pressured into “normalization”with the Zionist entity—oppose normalization, despise “Israel,” an are cheering wilding for the Palestinian resistance.
As for India and China, both countries were basically destroyed by the Anglo-Zionist bankster empire in its 19th century iteration. Both countries’ populations, especially the better-informed influentials, have no use for the banking dynasty that crushed their own countries before turning genocidally against the Palestinians. Most of China and India, and indeed the world, will not mourn the demise of the Western bankster empire and its genocidal spear-tip in Occupied Palestine. On the contrary, they will take every available opportunity to hasten that demise.
So the Zionists’ open war against the world’s nearly two billion Muslims, which is also a covert war against almost three billion Christians, is doomed. The tribe that traumatizes its children into believing the whole world hates them for no reason, then weaponizes that trauma to produce and excuse hateful behavior, is well on its way to reaping the inevitable consequences of its actions.

The decades of calls from Palestinians and the international community to investigate Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity have gone unheeded, giving Israel carte blanche approval to maintain and intensify its oppressive regime. This has allowed Israel to escalate its settler colonization of Palestinian land with unprecedented violence, resulting in a 16-year siege on 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza, described as the world's “largest open-air prison.” Despite international condemnations and pledges to investigate Israel for crimes against humanity and war crimes, Israel has never been held accountable for its actions. The situation in the West Bank has also reached unprecedented levels of violence, making 2023 the bloodiest year for Palestinians in two decades.
The Biden Administration's statements, focusing exclusively on Israel's right to defend itself, indicate a disconnect between rhetoric and reality. While acknowledging the extremism of the current Israeli government, the U.S. continues to provide unequivocal support, including financial, diplomatic, and military aid, thereby becoming complicit in the ongoing oppression of Palestinians. Peace talks involving Arab neighbors like Saudi Arabia serve as a mere distraction, sidelining the core issue of justice and liberation for Palestinians. Biden’s assertion of the need to “advance equal measures of security, freedom and prosperity” for Israelis and Palestinians is once again meaningless.
Rather than pushing for normalization between the Israeli apartheid regime and dictatorships in the region, AMP and AJP Action call upon the Biden Administration to facilitate an immediate ceasefire and address the root cause of violence, that is, Israel’s Apartheid regime, and specifically in Gaza, Israel’s brutal siege and blockade. Furthermore, no additional aid should be granted to Israel. For far too long, the U.S. has been a steadfast ally of Israel, providing substantial military and financial assistance to Israel despite mounting evidence of human rights abuses and violations of international law committed in the occupied territories. While ignoring the plight of Palestinians, this unwavering support undercuts the moral ground that the U.S. claims to hold in promoting “democracy” and “human rights” worldwide. The U.S. is implicated and responsible for the continued escalations in this case.
For almost four decades, Israel has been the leading beneficiary of U.S. security assistance through the Foreign Military Financing Program, or FMF. The U.S. gives Israel 3.8 billion in military aid annually to ensure its “Qualitative Military Edge” in the region. Yet, the unfolding events in Gaza prove nothing will guarantee security and stability other than restoring Palestinian rights. Unless the Biden Administration can truthfully address the root cause of what has unfolded in the last 24 hours, Israel will continue to feel emboldened to carry on its oppressive regime.

Time to pounds the Gaza strip.

Push these barbarians into the sea.

Just checking it to ask whether our local "MAG^" "The Jews will not replace us" Trumpsters have admitted yet that they are very pleased with the killing of the "George Santos Zionists"?

Or are they hiding their pleasure so they can blame this on Biden?

I do hope that the Tiki-Torch side of American politics isn't pretending like they are siding with Israel.

It's easier to argue you are an ignoramus. The moral equivalency is staggering. Left alone, Isreal would hurt no one. They other groups, factions, religions governments, that abuse their people and steal all the wealth have to make Isreal the enemy so the people don't attack them.

Both sides are wrong.

The 'west', namely UK first then the US, created this nightmare and the creation of Israel with the support of the 'west' is partially the cause of 70+ years of terrorism to include 9/11.

However, these are the cards we have and we can't just fold em and hope for the best. We have partners and allies to think about so this is our mess.

Israel and Hamas are doing what they've always done.

Alan

If anyone said that about Israel they would get banned.

Classic Zio double standard.'

That's nuts. How do you think they created the "Jewish State" in a land filled with non Jews? By leaving the natives alone?

Both sides BS.

There is an oppressor and an oppressed.

An occupier and an occupied.

A military superpower and a people with no military

Let me get this straight. After decades of brutally oppressive sanctions and very strict control over what can even enter Palestine to begin with, suddenly Hamas get their hands on hundreds of advanced rockets and decides to launch them all into empty fields in broad daylight? Then, they drive what appear to be brand new Jeeps across the most heavily regulated border in the world and take a bunch of Jewish hostages?

The deep stay doesn't even try to make things believable. This is the fakest false flag yet.

Imagine if the Palestinians were Native Indians?

Israel had about 12 hours to launch a tactical nuclear strike and nobody would have batted an eye.

Now that CNN is sharing photos of Palestinian girls staring at the sky crying in front of rubble Israel has lost the initiative.

It's all but over.

Are you paid for these lies, or are just that daft and manipulated/convinced? Lets make it easier - are you a Palestinian fugitive, or just straigt bad person? STFU. There is no excuse that would be acceptable for this terrorist attack. Hamas will be severly punished for this, and any suffering on their people will be their fault. They use them as human shield. Period.

Take Hamas and the points at home

So if an earthquake kills 2000 Jews in Israel tomorrow you think we should ignore it? You sound pretty thick.

Ever notice how Israel never has 'acts of God' happen to it? Almost as if they're God's chosen ones.

What's the difference? A couple of centuries.

What lie? Name one. So when Israel murders hundreds and even thousands of Gazans, its not their fault?

The violence prevalent in the world over and over again is just mind boggling to me. Blowing up buildings and infrastructure and the lives affected and thinking that it solves issues is just retarded. There are too many mental deficiencies in the human mind, laziness, selfishness, ignorance etc. to ever overcome the damage caused by the behavior from these. We're a hopeless species. I need to go for another run to clear my head.
