Who Mourns the Palestinians - It’s All About Israelis, the Perpetual Victims

The haunted Celebrations:

A lull in the destruction of Gaza and the Palestinian people has been achieved for an uncertain time.

The celebrations are most energetic, understandably, in Israel and Gaza. In Israel, for the safe return of the surviving 20 Hamas held Israeli hostages, and in Gaza for the desperate respite from the wanton and systematic daily killing of Palestinian men women and children, from the soulless war-machine that Israel has become, shamelessly and unconditionally backed by a hostage and complicit America.

As 20 returned Israeli lives are celebrated, and they should be, 70,000 murdered, over 2,000,000 displaced, starved and brutalized Palestinians seem a mere footnote in the international news coverage of Trump’s and Israel’s grand ‘peace’ celebrations.

Israel’s overwhelming dominance in the propaganda narrative as the perpetual victim in this century-long ethnic-cleansing and genocidal mission of Palestinian land-grab, for the superior and ‘Chosen Race’ of the European Jews, effectively draws, and has drawn, all the oxygen from the global pool of sympathy for a wronged people, and suppresses all attention and empathy for the grievously wronged, raped, pillaged, imprisoned, slaughtered and demonized Palestinians (even the children were not spared) while Israel is feted.

Nothing has changed this time around either, as Israel and its story dominates the news.

And so far the human-rights and democratic-principles-preaching western countries have been the most enabling of this ongoing human tragedy, led by the ‘leader of the free-world’ the US.

For decades, as even today, the western media gave overpoweringly sympathetic (and biased) voice to Israel and its victim-hood, while willingly ignoring or wilfully twisting the narrative to portray the local ordinary inhabitants of the region of Palestine as the ‘terrorists’, even while they were clearly the victims of forced ethnic-cleansing, to make room for more Jews from all-over and elsewhere.

The Western countries have swung-a-bit towards the inhumane plight of the Palestinians recently, but they still dare not cut-off all ties from this rogue nation of Israel that has made a mockery of humanity, international law, and more recently, the International Criminal Court of Justice - that deemed it (Israel),  possibly guilty of war-crimes in Gaza, and whose PM Netanyahu, and former Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, have had arrest warrants issued against them for war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Israel’s lap-dog, the great United States of America, has followed along mimicking every outrage that its Master dreams up, supporting it unconditionally, arming and funding it endlessly, while vetoing everything that the majority of nations of the United Nations condemn as criminal acts of a rogue Israel.

Israel’s open and unashamed joy at killing innocent Palestinian civilians, estimated at this time conservatively at 70,000, because the rubble of Gaza has not been removed and the bodies under it remain unrecovered, the majority of which were women and children (even infants), set a new low for a nation and a people identified in modern times for heartless human barbarity, (the title of which previously was held by Germany in WWII).

The ongoing barbarity of Israel in this Gaza genocide has been flagged by every credible human-rights organization in the world, the United Nations, and the overwhelming majority of the world’s nations.

The world saw the genocide unfold online, in real time, and shamelessly tolerated it for two whole years, where, for 1200 hundred plus Israeli lives lost, an under-estimated 70,000 Palestinian civilians were systematically butchered and buried in the merciless destruction of their entire territory.

Only the most demented heartless soul could condone the slaughter of 70,000 plus innocent civilian Palestinians as a just response to 1200 Israeli lives lost on October the 7th to the vile Hamas attack.

[Though now, there are a growing number of questions being asked as to how Hamas fighters managed to get through the airtight Gaza border, sealed for years by the heavily armed and ever vigilant Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) with all their security and surveillance technologies, and then carry out their killing and kidnapping spree for six hours (!) without being detected. Even the uber-famous Israel shill, the late Right-Wing mega-influencer Charlie Kirk, questioned the possibility of it on a podcast after returning from a trip to Israel, and the Gaza border. After being at the Gaza border he thought it impossible for anyone to enter Israel from Gaza, unless there was a ‘stand-down’ order to the IDF.)

In the meantime, the complicit world has finally stirred itself to protest the genocide, with ever greater numbers and intensity, which finally moved the Western Governments to take a firmer stand against Israel, driven by the growing anger of their constituents, and declare their support for a Two-State-Solution against the furious pushback from Israel and its toady, the US.

When the countries went ahead and declared their support for a Palestinian homeland anyway, that unprecedented defiance in-turn pressured Trump to forcibly arm-twist Netanyahu from further exterminating more Palestinians from Gaza, reluctantly agree to ceasefire, and temporarily slow the continuous bombing of Gaza in his stated murderous mission of creating an ever greater Israel.

This is all done with great reluctance on the part of the Netanyahu extremist government, and the war’s cessation is probably going to be very short lived.

Israeli sense of superiority over the Arabs, the Palestinians in particular, is so openly and savagely racist that, for every Israeli life, hundreds of Palestinian lives are not enough. As in Israel and with Zionists abroad, all Palestinians are sub-human savages that need to be exterminated as animals. Israeli Government Ministers have said as much, openly, as have Israeli citizens, including their indoctrinated hate filled children, on videos. This is exactly the kind of hate-filled irrational discrimination the Jews faced for centuries throughout Europe and Russia, and now, they have taught their children to similarly hate Palestinians, in exactly the same way. In the 21^st century, the world has watched this hate, and has turned from Israel and the Jews, shedding their decades of empathy post WWII, after the Holocaust.  

But, Israel is so confident of its military strength and the power of its captive partner in crime, the US, that now they do not care who sees and knows of their long term intentions and their current actions.

So, the release of the 20 alive Israeli hostages has dominated every news headline, and their consistent mention and celebration far overshadows any thought of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian people ruthlessly massacred by Israel, as it used the October 7^th raid by Hamas as the pretext to openly exterminate civilian Palestinians, without any remorse or shame.

Even as Israel celebrates, the systematic destruction of the Gaza strip and the miles of mountainous rubble is mute testament to the millions of Palestinian lives ruined because European Jews had nowhere to go after WWII except to a place where majority Palestinian Arabs treated their small minority of Jewish neighbours with respect amid peaceful coexistence.

For that religious and racial tolerance shown by the Palestinian Arabs towards their Jewish neighbours, for centuries, they are being expunged for the continuous expansion of pitiless Zionist Israel, with savage racism and sheer unmitigated brutality, tagging the innocent and the peaceful people as ‘terrorists’, and the real genocidal terrorists (Israelis), as ‘the only civilized race in the Middle East’.

The graveyard that Gaza is now, will haunt the world for a long time to come.

Who mourns the slaughtered Palestinians? A large part of the World’s ordinary people increasingly do now, and a greater part will do so even more, when the true scale of Israel’s crimes become clearer.

The False Peace Maker:     

The western global news outlets were simply aglow with advent of ‘PEACE’ in Gaza, and were even going so far as to proclaim PEACE in the Middle East, by the ‘greatest US President in history’, Donald J. Trump.

Well, he did it!! Trump got the worldwide recognition and adulation he so desperately craved since he has been President of the United States, since his first term. Most of the time during those first 4 years, and these first 8 months of his Presidency in his second term, he has usually garnered more notoriety than admiration for doing, or claiming to do, the impossible. But, this time, one has to give him some credit for twisting a reluctant Netanyahu’s arm into agreeing to at least a temporary cease-fire in Gaza.

And that is what it is, a temporary ceasefire at best. Because, Israel wants Gaza, and it will not stop until it gets it. It has not stopped for a century in expanding their control over Palestinian lands, so why will they stop now? As Trump himself said, when he addressed the Israeli Parliament, after the signing of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, Netanyahu wanted to keep intensifying the bombing and the war, and he (Trump) had to really lean on him to stop, because, and here’s the kicker, of ‘tremendous international pressure that was getting too hot and dangerous’ (we paraphrase).

Whatever Trump’s faults, and he has way too many to list, he is good at reading public sentiment correctly, and this time he read the rising tide of global anger correctly, both in the world where growing protests against Israel’s open and unapologetic genocide were getting massive in all parts of the world, and more importantly in the United States, where for the first time, American public sentiment turned against Israel, and that became a significant danger mark for Trump, and for Israel.

So, globally recognized and condemned genocidal Netanyahu and his rabidly racist and murderous ministers in his extremist right-wing Government, were forced to back down and call off the ongoing ruthless destruction of Gaza and its people, and act as joyful peace celebrants.

The question that persistently rises in the minds of those of us who have looked at Israel’s long history of forcible ethnic-cleansing of Palestinians from their homes and lands, which activity they have been carrying out now increasingly brazenly in the West Bank too, is, how long before the masks drop, and on some pretext, blamed on Hamas breaking the Agreement, or some such excuse - Israel is back to levelling Gaza in preparation of annexing it and turning into seaside resort and expensive condominiums for Israelis - through ‘the Trump and Kushner Development Companies’ of course.

As a pay-off, Trump and family, with Jared Kushner leading the plans, is firmly embedded in that development plan of course, so it not a question of - if it will happen, it’s more a question of when.

Indeed, ‘BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS’ as Trump wrote on his Truth Social - but only the true ones.
