Gaza looks like an earthquake has hit it. In countless situations across the globe the international powers rally to the aid of those in the wake of natural disasters. They send specialist teams, state of the art equipment, cadaver dogs to the devastated area to assist in rescue efforts. In Gaza they send virtually nothing . . . but plenty of weapons to Israel. It seems a flotilla of concerned citizens from around the world is the high point of international assistance to the bombed and beleaguered of Gaza.
While there is nothing to celebrate, when later today Drogheda Stands With Palestine assembles yet again in West Street for almost the hundredth time in opposition to Israeli genocide, we shall derive solace rather than cheer, from the ‘strongest and most authoritative UN finding to date.’
As reported in the British spreadsheet, The Independent:
The Israelis have taken to howling that the report is “antisemitic . . . distorted and false ”, to a world increasingly tone deaf to the Goebbels-like propaganda coming from one orifice or another of Zionist mouthpieces.
Despite the cries of antisemitism that invariably emerge once comparisons are drawn between Hitler's genocide and Netanyahu's, Ellis is surely on the money. The point has been reinforced by the French writer Orly Noy:
It is not only the The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry that offers compelling evidence of why denazification is essential. Consider the interview given to Israeli Channel 12 by former Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva:

As reported in the British spreadsheet, The Independent:
The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israel had “flagrantly disregarded” international law and “orchestrated a genocidal campaign for almost two years now.
The Israelis have taken to howling that the report is “antisemitic . . . distorted and false ”, to a world increasingly tone deaf to the Goebbels-like propaganda coming from one orifice or another of Zionist mouthpieces.
For them it is a damning report. Those who championed themselves as the victims of a Holocaust, to such an extent that they created a Holocaust Industry, are now judged to be perpetrating one themselves. The report will have come as a huge embarrassment to Genocide denier Der Starmer, now fighting as tenaciously and desperately as Netanyahu to hold on his premiership.
Coupled with the report has been a statement from Netanyahu that Israel will need to strive for economic self-sufficiency as it segues from an international free market economy to one of national autarky. This is in response to the mounting isolation the country is facing due to a disinclination among a growing number of countries to continue normal economic relations with the murderous regime. BDS has played a role here, something to remember the next time a cut price special offer is dangled as an incentive to purchase a Nestle box of Shredded Wheat.
Netanyahu has spoken of a looming period of prolonged isolation. Whistling while he walked past the graveyard he envisaged Israel as “Athens and super-Sparta,” His comments immediately led to a fall in the stock market and the strength of the Israeli Shekel against the US dollar.
It was reported in The Week that:
The view was also expressed from within Israel that while Sparta was strong militarily its economic isolation led to its collapse, a fear captured in the internal Israeli observation that such a policy will reduce Israel to the status of a third world country.
In a situation where the pace of progress is glacially slow, these developments have to be welcomed while acknowledging that the pressure has to be maintained. It is working. No matter how light, every straw placed on the back of the Zionist beast will help bring it down.
Bringing it down is key to progress and the wellbeing of humanity. How can it be otherwise when in the damning words of the writer Walter Ellis, 'Benjamin Netanyahu is the Zionist Hitler. And that is how he will be remembered.'?

It was reported in The Week that:
Public opinion reflected unease. Many Israelis, long accustomed to viewing their country as an outpost of the West, are angry that its international standing has collapsed. They feel that Netanyahu is using the war to delay elections, keep his seat and avoid facing corruption charges, even if it means sacrificing Israel’s economy and future.

The urgent task now is to bring this holocaust to an end. But stopping it is only the first step. If Israeli society is ever to return to the fold of humanity, it must undergo a deep process of denazification.
It is not only the The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry that offers compelling evidence of why denazification is essential. Consider the interview given to Israeli Channel 12 by former Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva:
The fact that there are already 50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary and required for future generations. OK, you humiliated, you slaughtered, you murdered, everything is true . . . For all that was done on October 7th … It doesn't matter now if they are children. I'm not speaking out of revenge, I'm speaking out of a message to future generations. They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price.
Now with the UN report and Netanyahu's sense of impending economic doom, Israel is feeling the price of genocide.

This explains the mindset of Israel very well in my view. Most interesting and very dark.

It's important to keep up the good fight. Israel's economic situation now explains why the West were trying to put the kibosh on BDS when it was relatively nascent and was having little visible effect. It demonstrates why BDS has to continue, spread and intensify.
ReplyDeleteSiobhan from DSWP emphasises any time she speaks at our vigils. The apps are the most practical way to boycott. Even if a shopper is rushed, once home scan everything and then put it on the avoid list.
DeleteWhat a horrific cold blooded bit of bastardry from that General.
ReplyDeleteand we still have those who deny Israel is committing murder.
