A new film about Hind Rajab's murder points to a deeply sick Israeli society, driven into the darkest of places by a racist ideology that says Jewish lives count, Palestinian lives don’t
Jonathan, thanks for this courage to name the honest reason behind this (and most) genocides - the inculcated belief in one group’s right to supremacy over another. The problem is that when this is enshrined and accepted by mainstream media, it takes a massive effort to shift mass consciousness - or the reality of child after child being slaughtered to cut through the lie. That, for me, is why The Voice of Hind Rajab is so key. And why Ellison and Trump took control of TikTok...
What astonishes me is how such pro-War news-media professionals can afterwards sleep at night or look their little children/grandchildren in the face everyday.
Out of the tens of thousands of children that the Israeli Jews have murdered, one was bound to have all the ingredients to expose the Israeli Jews for what they are: vile, evil and disgusting. Thank you Hind Rajab for being the face and voice of all Palestinian children. It is heartbreaking that you had to die to tell everyone’s story.
I appreciate your outrage and I share it. But…Calling Israeli Jews vile evil and disgusting is not okay. I was taught growing up not to see all Germans as bad Nazis. Because my Left Jewish parents also were connected to the people who had resisted fascism. Many White South Africans resisted apartheid. Of those many were Jewish and some ended up in Israel where they still resist. Statements like yours easily turn into racism and prevent the solidarity needed with those who resist and fight for justice.
"Genocide isn’t a mistake. It is evidence of a deeply sick society, driven into the darkest of places by a racist ideology that says Jewish lives count and Palestinian lives don’t."
And the only way we can reverse this horrific position is by demanding that Palestinian lives DO count and that any group that declares otherwise should be shunned and boycotted.
Excellent writing. The idf are surely the most evil thrill killers in the world. Along with their AI software programs to help them with their slaughter of innocents, each and every death/killing murder of innocents in Palestine and Lebanon is not by chance, nor collateral damage, but planned and enthusiastically applauded by the idf cowardly trigger men/women and each and every idf officer and their political racist masters. The issrreehelli online lobby/trolls/propagandists are equally responsible for each and every murder. When the times comes these vile racist online cowards must be held to account too along with the idf cowardly triggermen.
After the genocide in Gaza was relegated to oneliners on the back pages and Trump's piracy and criminality are normalised, a lot of the British media and Government are still displaying their outrage at the Midlands Police banning of Israeli hooligans from attending a match in Birmingham in November. A brutal reminder of the sense of priority that prevails in our country.
This isn't about territory; it's good vs evil. Zionism is satanism. Period. They follow the Babylonian Talmud and have hijacked judaism. Jews need to wake up to the fact that they're being used by these "people"who practice dark, evil ideologies and in the end, they will be sacrificed as well. These so called "jews" are not Torah followers They are what's left of the seed of the serpent. That explains their lack of anything even remotely human.
Thank you Mr Cook. You are one of my go to story tellers when i want to see what the other side writes. Keeps me sane. I have not worked for the Guardian, but luckily you have. Your story about the Guardian confirms, in a strange way, the chinese whispers story, which sort of suggests that we all look at events, even written stories in different ways. I view the guardian newspaper as another go to news source, the sort of same way i view your written stories, you know a different way to look at the world. So you know where i stand i view the Guardian as a left wing rag. Consider Mr Owen as an example. And to clarify further absolutely not a supporter of Israel. Anyways mr Cook, keep up the good work. For me, you are an example of the old British saying that you cant teach an old dog new tricks. And they love dogs, if you know what i mean. Thankyou
Bari Weiss: Alright, listen up everybody. Contrary to expectations in some circles, we ARE going to cover the release of this disgusting anti-Semitic propaganda film, but we're going to do it in a sober, responsible, and above all objective manner. To begin with, the so-called victim is described as having been five years of age. We intend to expose this vile lie with a thorough investigation that will prove she was only a few months away from attaining the age of six. Let me repeat- by any reasonable assessment, the woman was virtually six years old. She was already a graduate of a terrorist training center operating under the guise of a kindergarten, further to which... (drones on, drones overhead)
B.W. is truly an evil spawn. Horrible person, reporter and just an all around thug-who's indirectly responsible for the murder, via her idf buddies, of more than a few innocent Palestinians. She's nothing more than an idf squealing racist rat. RIP Refaat A, and his entire family, who were murdered in late Dec. 2023 thanks to the idf rat informer, BW.
I don't think ALL Jewish lives count for Israeli Zionists. Jewish lives only count if they are also Zionist. Jews who are anti Zionist are also considered to be sub human by Israeli Zionists and probably by Zionists everywhere, whether they are Jewish Zionists or Christian Zionists.

I was able to watch the film in Chicago yesterday. IMO very well done. Haven’t cared for the Gaurdian since they smeared Corbyn with antisemitism.
Another excellent article. Thank you Jonathan.

Extraordinary; thanks for your continuing work, Jonathan. It shows courage and commitment.

So spot on! Thank you for real journalism!
