how could this manipulated jerks sneak into positions of power if they would not have these naive people believing in what they promise and never do because they have to bend to the billionaires like Bezos, Gates & Co who pay the media(try to be critical at WPO or msm news,bing & you’re done). The Greeks and Romans knew they can “vote” and then shut up.

Thanks for that, Jonathan. I learned a lot. You used the word “repugnant “ at one point. Adequate words to describe the malign stratagems of Netanyahu and his henchmen are almost impossible to find. You show incontrovertibly that these actions form a continuum with the imperialist history of Israel’s western backers and apologists, and the self-serving lies with which they justified their exploitation of subject peoples.

Sadly the West is not waking up. I am so disappointed with the UK Government

Let them eat sanctions.

And protect their children with symbols.

Your righteous anger blazes out in every word of this article. If only mainstream media like the BBC and Guardian had half your courage. We feel the truth of your words and get angry and despairing that our elected leaders are failing the Palestinian people so abysmally. Thank you for laying the truth out for anyone to see. I'll be sending a copy of your article to my MP.

They have no shame and no consciences.

"Truth inversion" - exactly. For some light in the dark: https://marchtogaza.net/

Another excellent article, which belongs in the front page of any British newspaper which purports to be serious. I am more sure than ever that a reckoning will come and that ALL the guilty parties, including direct perpetrators, collaborators (Starmer, Lammy, Biden et al) and apologists will be brought to justice ان شاء الله.

The cruelty, barbarity and sheer evil of the suicidal Israelis will never be forgotten. When they are hunted down and killed like mad dogs they still won’t understand why. They are so brain dead, so emotionally numb, so unaware and intellectually as well as spiritually bankrupt (which shouldn’t surprise given their rejection of the essence and humanity of Judaism) that they’ll think that their deaths will be on account of “anti-Semitism”.

Mission Accomplished!! Regardless of what the ghoulish moral midgets might write, or not write, it is inconsequential.

Thunberg raised the moral turpitude of the Zio-NAZIS and their supporters, facilitors and financers into the conscience of the majority. She may be pilloried for it by a shameless and tendetious establishment but for those with an iota of moral principle, human empathy and compassion she will be regarded as someone of moral character challenging a morally bankrupt establishment. My advice to her would be ignore the self-serving ghouls and continue with your project. You have a clear conscience, unlike those who are irked by your moral clarity. All power to your arm!

" It is the first stage-managed genocide in history. It is a Holocaust rewritten as public theatre, a spectacle in which every truth is carefully inverted."

Perfectly stated. It's sickening how easily the mainstream media ignores what is happening in Gaza and how many of their colleagues have been killed by the IDF. Greta and the Madleen crew have demonstrated to the world moral courage and shown us all the way to end this horrible genocide--people power.

Amazed that Haaretz publishes reports about Netanyahu’s Gaza genocide that the western press (NYT, Guardian, BBC..) avoids. Shows who are the real enablers in this sick, revolting process.

Way to lay it out Jonathon. You and Chris Hedges, brilliant writing. A very high-up politician said the other day, “There are no more levers to be pulled.” Seriously haha, in other words the law is dead. Perhaps they should stand up on their spine and pull the levers of morality and truth thus putting their careers on the line. Of course they are literally afraid the Septics (septic tanks = yanks) will take out their government. That is true. If, having proved themselves useless, then surely they should at least take their integrity and walk the plank. But no, they will convince themselves they are working towards something better, when in fact they are ignoring the most important thing they could ever do; save the Palestinians. There is no going back for any of us. We truly know what we are now. As for the actual blood-covered perpetrators? They see themselves superior to everyone. As Norm Coleman said “We are masters of the universe.” Governments are traitorous, and the American militias have now truly been proven correct. We are on our own.

If only one of these sections were true it should be enough for a global uprising, but here we are, blatantly ignoring the human right to not just survive but to thrive. So fucked up. Thanks for writing this. Words matter in light of so little action.
