After October 7th, Israel forcibly displaced over a million into Southern Gaza, bombing civilian vehicles heading south full of frightened women and children and launching white phosphorous .
Israel has bombed Southern Gaza every day since. Over 2,700 Palestinian children lie massacred with thousands more injured, maimed and buried under rubble
Israel has Gaza surrounded for 16 years and since October 7th has cut off all basic supplies. This will not harm Hamas who have their own.
Over two million people, are now dying a slow death from starvation, dehydration and a lack of basic medical supplies. Mothers in Gaza must give birth without pain relief, injured children must endure operations without anaesthetic, incubators have no power, mothers are writing the names of their children on their limbs so they can be identified after being blown apart by Israeli bombs. Palestinian children are stumbling around this killing field with no parents because their entire family has been murdered.
These atrocities are being hidden behind Israeli / western lies and taboos. Here are but five of the worst.
(1) It is a LIE to call this the ‘Israel and Hamas war’.
Israel has a powerful military and has been launching high-tech weapons at buildings full of innocent civilians.
Hamas while guilty of the terrorist outrage on October 7th has no capability to wage war beyond firing rockets that cause light property damage.
This is not a war, it is a massacre of innocents, targeted not because they threaten Israel or are responsible for terrorism but because they share an ethnicity.
The Palestinians being killed by Israel are not the ‘collateral damage’ of a war against Hamas – they are the defenceless victims of racist revenge. Hamas was never the target as the Israelis themselves have made perfectly clear.
(2) It is TABOO to say that Israeli atrocities in Palestine are fascist – but they are. The industrial slaughter children targeted because they are Palestinian is Fascist.
(3) It is a LIE to say that it is anti-Semitic to oppose Israeli atrocities in Palestine. To critique the armed forces of Israel is not to slander an entire religion or nation – just those responsible. No Jews are or could be involved in the killing of Palestinian children, because no real Jew could contemplate it for a millisecond. Indeed Jewish peace activists in Israel and around the world are being sidelined and attacked by those who masquerade as Jews.
(4) It is TABOO to say that Israeli Fascists share the morals of Nazi Germany. But many Jews and Israelis, including people whose family were the victims of the Holocaust say exactly this.
People who kill fathers, mothers and children because of their ethnicity are fascists. Israel cannot label the Hamas terrorists of October 7th as Nazis and human animals and expect us to be blind to three weeks of Israeli mass murder. Those who seek to starve a population of two million are no better than Nazis.
(5) It is a LIE to excuse Israel’s actions as ‘self defence’. Israel is the brutal, illegal and very powerful occupier of Palestine. Gaza represents no threat whatsoever to the existence of Israel and no-one has questioned the right of Israel to defend itself.
Israel is perpetrating a fascist genocide in Gaza and this fig leaf of ‘self defence’ is deployed to protect those who have long helped to hide, excuse and facilitate Israeli fascism and who have now thrown their lot in with it.
Exposing this lie of ‘self defence’ would indite tens of thousands of public figures as complicit in fascist atrocities in Palestine, not just since October 7th but for decades.
Trapped between multiple layers of their own moral cowardice, the western political and media establishment is paralysed with fear of exposure, so they double down on their lies as Israel turns Gaza into a Fascist house of horrors.
The current US administration has become little more than a death cult, no surprise then that Biden amplifies the evasions of Israeli fascists and sends more weapons. Weasels like Starmer, Sunak and Macron have no moral compass nor the courage to be guided by one, repeating verbatim whatever canards are issued by The White House press office.
No sane person can be a moral weathervane. Either we smash the lies and taboos that prop up Israeli fascism in Gaza and the whole scandalous house of cards behind it…or we become complicit.
You cannot say you haven’t been told. So will you speak the truth or remain silent? Its time to choose.
