Are we being duped to focus only on Gaza suffering?

Israel's genocide of Gaza is intentional, planned and ongoing with no sign of slowing down. The contrary, with no water, food and medicine it is accelerating. Israel leaders boast openly that they do not care about what the UN, ICC, or ICJ say. Israeli fascist leaders say they do not care what statements are issued by governments. Nor do they care if public pressure causes some western leaders to moderate their "language" stating there is a "humanitarian catastrophe" unfolding in Gaza (without naming the perpetrator and continuing to support physically the genocide). Israel actually can use the humanitarian catastrophe (as if it is an act of God not their agency) as bargaining chips. The focus on "ceasefire negotiations" is actually a very clever strategy to continue the genocidal occupation and for impunity from facing tribunals for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Israeli leaders are crystal clear about their crimes and they get their way by genocide and total state terrorism against populations. If you have any doubt, listen to them (see below). They even say openly that if Hizbollah continues its resistance in South Lebanon, then all of Lebanon will pay a devastating price and Beirut will be like Gaza (i.e. totally devastated). Israeli military spokesmen gave the same threats to cities in the West Bank like Jenin and Tulkarem and even Ramallah. These are not idle threats. Many were complicit with Israeli apartheid regime by suppressing the truth and giving weapons to commit genocide . According to Israeli leaders global public opinion and "diplomatic" pressure will not end its carnage done to promote colonialism and greed. Many human rights advocates are at a loss as to how to end the carnage. While people focus on the carnage, few address its underlying cause. It is like focusing on suffering in concentration camps without identifying the source of that suffering (or even worse blaming the victims)

  1. Perhaps "hypnotized" is a more accurate term than "duped." There are too many people with sufficient intelligence who have the ability to research the facts and have probably "seen" the truth to think they were duped. Mass hypnosis is related, but a deeper and more serious problem for humanity. If our hypnotic trance-based logic is truly responsible for Gaza genocide, it is also responsible for poisoning our air and water and diminishing biodiversity. We must start using CAT-FAWN dehypnotizing technology, as Dr. Michael Fisher's online article describes. A metacognitive reflection practice on Fear, Authority, Words and Nature (FAWN) coupled with an awareness of hypnotic influence and the intentional use of self-hypnosis (Concentration-Activated Transformation) to change our ways of belonging in the world.
