Need for action

Reminder: There is an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. Maybe we need reminder of other facts showing why this matters globally and ask how we collectively can act to stop being pushed into a cataclysmic future:

-Zionism worked to forcefully transform a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-religious, and multi-lingual country called Palestine (part of the land of Canaan) to a “Jewish state of Israel” 

-(Zionism partially successful): Today there are 15 million of us Palestinians, 8 million are refugees and millions live in shrinking reservations/ghettos/bantustans/concentration camps subject to the most brutal daily attacks and torture for 76 years.

-A genocide started in 1948 with 33 massacres and ethnic cleansing (Nakba) and accelerated in the past year after the Gaza ghetto uprising 7 October 2023. Over 250,000 Palestinians have been killed since 1948, over a million injured.

-Zionism started and promoted from Western Powers using a distorted image of Judaism in the same way that crusaderism used a distorted image of Christianity.

-These western powers (themselves colonial and build on the destruction of hundreds of millions of indigenous people) are supporting now one of the most dangerous colonial power in history (dangerous for all humanity, see below).

Reminder: There is an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip

-All colonial powers dubbed any form of local/native resistance as terrorism, barbarism, savagery etc.

-To be honest with ourselves we must admit that hundreds of millions of people of the global south were (lethally) mistaken in assuming there was relevance to a western (read colonial) created global system that talked about International law and order while committing the most heinous crimes against humanity. Exhibit A: check US behavior at the UNSC.

-Any moral laws in Christianity, Islam, Judaism or other religions are totally meaningless to saving us when their subjects engage in committing horrors like what we saw in the past 200 years (massacres, pogroms, over 50 genocides, etc) and their co-religionists stay silent.

Reminder: There is an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip

-This genocide is different than say the genocide of native Americans or aborigines or others: 1) broadcast live (no one can claim they did not know, see ongaza.org for links), 2) accompanied by the largest body of lies perpetuated on (controlled) mass media and pop culture in the West/Global North, 3) originates not from one regime but from several (many under strong Zionist lobbies), 4) Perpetrated by Zionists with an superiority-inferiority complex (claim of perpetual victimhood while claiming superiority over “goyim”), 5) it accelerated in the 21st century in the era of weapons of mass destruction (hyperbaric bombs, nuclear, chemical, mass planting of explosives in common house-hold devises) and mass control (Zionist Pegasus software, control of mass media and technology etc)

-Zionism being in the active phase of colonization does not set its borders. They tell us they are expanding and they expand. Their next occupation/colonization areas being talked about is all the lands from the Nile to the Euphrates. But it goes beond that since Zionists now control education and many business is countries like the USA and the UAE (Exhibit A: watch suppression of free speech on university campuses).

Reminder: There is an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip

-Jewish Zionists represent at best 8 million people and Christian Zionists at best 50 million (there are 16 million Jews and 2.38 billion Christians in the world). Zionists thus represent 0.72% of the total world population. Any rational analysis shows how they drive apocalyptic fate of the world against the wishes of 99.28% of the world population (minus those who profit from militarism and the rampant capitalism system, people like Trump and Musk).

-Military spending keeps increasing especially in Western colonial powers (including “Israel”) and in their puppet regimes like “Saudi Arabia” and UAE. 

-The military is the largest single contributor to pollution and climate change. Geopolitcal tension and wars also divert people attention away from sustainability issues.

-Colonial oppressive regime used and still use “divide and conquer” strategies to get poor people hating other poor people while the rich get richer (see populist right-wing rhetoric in Western countries for good examples).

-Global joint struggle can work as it did against colonial apartheid South Africa

Reminder: There is an ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip

Whole families are daily being wiped out in the Gaza strip (and now in Lebanon) while the trends above portend a catastrophic and cataclysmic end of human civilization. People around the world are waking up (hundreds of millions were on the streets). Yet, we must organize better, get our activists better educated, and understand the nature of the evil forces that will make this planet uninhabitable if we do not stop them. The burden is on this generation to stop the rush to our extinction. In particular oppressed people around the world must unite. We are the majority as noted above. Search your city for organizers and events in this week on the anniversary of the acceleration of Genocide or organize your own activity. Let us also all redouble our efforts for boycotts, divestments, and sanctions. We are lucky to live in an era of transformation where we can make a difference and it is an existential struggle for humanity. And yes, there is a path forward 

End of Empire?

I wrote this after watching this shocking [must see] video that explain things to you about what humanity is up against https://youtu.be/yDWaRO88ezA  and illustrate the urgency of the situation [And if you want to know about the linked ongoing genocide and ecocide, just visit http://ongaza.org]

Unless Kamala Harris reverses course and suspends arms shipments to Israel  used in genocide, Trump will win the election because critical Muslim, Arab and progressive voters in key swing states will not vote for genocide party A. They will not vote for genocidal party B (Republicans) now run by the megalomaniac Trump who is willing to burn the world for his ego and to prevent the Mossad from releasing damaging tapes they have on him (Epstein/Maxwell produced). In either case, the US is likely finished as an empire unless its public wakes up as they did during the 1960s. Many of us had predicted this a while back but the speed of the decay is stunning which gives a risk of a global war to save the Empire (a losing proposition in areas of high tech WMDs). It is not just related to over 1.2 million COVID19 US deaths or to a $35 TRILLION in government/national debt (much of it to countries like China and Japan and much of it for wars done for the lobbies) or the corporate and personal debts. It is not just that the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world with two million citizens behind bars. It is also due to NATO taken over by irresponsible leadership that is getting us closer to a global war (see this analysis https://youtu.be/yDWaRO88ezA). It is also that the political system had the illusion of democracy (democrats and republicans exchanging seats and positions) while key actors (Federal reserve system of rich bankers and lobbies like the Zionist-Israeli lobby) actually manage the system.

More and more people also now increasingly realize that the so-called “justice system” is really dysfunctional and serves the rich and powerful. Lower level courts sentence black individuals to harsh sentences while exonerating white racist killers and mid level system that allows corruption to go on (e.g. by rich people like Trump, Sheldon Adelson, Haim Saban, Roger Stone, Les Wexner) to the supreme court. The Republican controlled Supreme Court ruled that actions by the president while in office are not subject to law/prosecution. Even free speech and attempts to boycott rogue states like Israel (an apartheid genocidal state) is now forbidden by law in many states and in some federal regulations.  That war on truth and justice in the west is carried in parallel with the actual genocidal war on our people (Palestinians and Lebanese and others) to cleanse the land and resources coveted for the Empire sans its indigenous people).

The Orwellian theatres of the absurd notwithstanding, the new world order is not turning out the way it was planned. The neocon Zionists of the 1990s plans included "securing the realm" and strategies that predicted an event like 11 Sept 2001 would help them to secure a “new American Century”, the pre planned invasion of Iraq etc. They have all backfired. While the senile king of Saudi Arabia incoherently tried to read a text prepared for him attacking Iran and his murderous son was enjoying booze and women on his $100 million yacht, Iran, China and Russia where defying Israeli occupied Washington (e.g. on the illegal economic war on Iran and Syria), interlinking their economies, military cooperation and more.

Times are indeed changing. Trump may win the elections but this will only accelerate the demise of the US power. Here is why he may win (in order of importance): 1) the Zionist lobby wants him to win elections to complete successes in bolstering Israel (and ensure the lobby is above the law and beyond scrutiny), 2) Harris courting of the lobby and supporting genocide undermines any remnant of illusion progressives, 3) Trump and his circle will do anything to win, 4) the American public is not allowed to hear all facts and the public can be manipulated by mainstream media and social media to vote for lesser of two evils based on fear propaganda (hundreds of millions spent on advertisements), 5) the Democrat party is corrupt and worked hand in glove with republicans against allowing other parties.

While I do not mourn the impending demise of the empire, I do feel sad for the economic deprivations that will come in the next few years in a land that I lived in for over two decades (before I returned to Palestine) and that I love (people, nature, etc). I would wish for the pain to be minimal and for better and quicker rebuilding in a far more sustainable and equitable way. The main danger after the election, is of a global war launched to defend Zionism and allow it to build an empire in Western Asia. The Israeli/Zionist Apartheid and ongoing genocide (in Palestine) remains the Achilles heel that exposes Western Hypocrisy just like Western support for South African Apartheid provided in the 1980s.

 
Let us (re)imagine and plan a world of multilateral cooperation, sustainability and equality and work extra hard to achieve it before it is too late and cockroaches inherit our planet. It is more urgent now than ever and it is an existential struggle for all humanity.
