A killer of children and Palestinians, a war criminal is applauded by the joint US Congress

There was something soul-crushing about watching Netanyahu’s speech.  It was not only the lies, it was not only the misdirection, it was not only the gaslighting, it was not only the hasbara, it was not only the propaganda for war, it was not only the dog whistles, it was a combination of all of this that caused one’s sense of self-worth to take a notch backward as one cannot believe you are genetically part of the same brutality as these human beings.

Then the realization – this is not me!  This is not in my name!  These killing fields that Netanyahu caused are not because I did not speak up.  It is not because I, and this site, did not publish all of the lies, the propaganda, the gaslighting, and the hasbara.  It is because there has been no stand taken against the zionist occupation Israeli brutal genocide and regular atrocities against Palestinians since the founding of Israel.  The US, the collective west encouraged and helped and supported and lied and propagandized and misdirected together.

At the speech, the shining city upon the hill applauded, and applauded again, until the butcher of human flesh including children, women, and men, Netanyahu said: Don’t Applaud!  Listen.  And like a bunch of trained monkeys, they stopped applauding.  There were many shouts of USA USA which only supports the fact that the US thinks Israel is fighting for them.  It is collusion between the countries to allow the genocide of the Palestinians, based on some old-time christian religion.  The zionist christians have forgotten that they are supposed to be in a new dispensation, the dispensation of the Christ.  The zionists are not christian, but pretending to be jews, they have forgotten that they are supposed to be in a period of being scattered across the earth.

Netanyahu to the joint houses of Congress: “Our enemies are your enemies, our war is your war, and our victory is your victory.”

This was an act of desperation. It was a naked display of fascist, apartheid, genocidal triumphalism, built on lies and blood!

What the genocidal Israeli regime is doing today in Gaza is precisely what the US empire did to Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq; what France did to Algeria; what Germany did to Namibia; and what Belgium did to Congo. Israel’s fascist barbarism is the true face of the imperialist West. It is what Pol Pot did in Cambodia. 

It is up to us to take that stand that has never been taken.  These are skulls in Cambodia that still today have not been identified.  There are dead bodies under the rubble underneath Gaza that will not be identified either, as perhaps anyone who could identify them, has also perished.

I drew the soul together again and said that this must not happen in our world ever again.  Legally classified genocides (and the bar is set high) during our time include Cambodia, the Herero and Namaqua, Armenia, the Tutsis, Srebrenica, and Darfur.  Could you perhaps point out to me the one where the US or some Western country was NOT in part or fully responsible?

Netanyahu’s message fits the US beautifully like a glove.  They love it when someone else fights their wars for them.  And now Netanyahu opens up the issue.  “We are fighting for you”!  Well, yes, so is Zelensky in the Ukraine.  So, exactly who is asking these criminals to fight for the US and pretend this is for democracy and freedom of the humans in this world?  The US of course, either by encouraging it, or by vetoing resolution after resolution at the UNSC to lay lame the council so that no action can be taken. US imperialism is the enemy of humanity. Israel is an extension of US imperialism.

Never let the world forget that the US government rolled out the red carpet for the biggest war criminal of the century, in charge of the genocide of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with US weapons, funding & cheerleading. Every bomb that falls, every bullet that is expended, every drone that shoots are US materiel.  The blood on their hands will not be erased.  Whatever shred of credibility the US could have possibly had left on the international stage vanished in the rapturous applause Congress gave to Netanyahu.

On the day of the speech, there were massive protests which will continue for some days, under the banner “Arrest Netanyahu”.  They burned effigies, they burned flags, they put up Palestinian flags, they chanted slogans, they made speeches, put maggots on the tables in the hotel, created walls of sound so that the warmongers could not sleep, and were arrested and pepper sprayed for their troubles.

Netanyahu said that the protestors were useful idiots for Iran and that they were paid by Iran, and Iran tried to assassinate Trump (and now we know where that planted rumor came from).

Our friend Ramin Mazaheri reports:

Now we have to wait and see what the US is going to do to encourage Netanyahu even further.  The war lust is inflamed a little more and this time the resistance will not cease as for the first time, they can fight back with more than sticks and stones. While the devil was speaking, the massacres in Gaza and the West Bank continued.  Doctors working in the largest hospital in Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis say the medical facility is overwhelmed by wounded people, as Israeli forces continue the savage invasion of the populated area.

The UNSC is stymied, as the US vetoes any action or any proposed action.  The UNSC can take kinetic action but in this case, the world disappointed me.

Here is just a short list of lies that Netanyahu told. As we say, without lies, Israel dies. Even his government says he lied full-on.  The biggest lie is to give a name to the resistance and use it over and over again.  This name is Hamas.  The world can now visualize the boogey man under the bed and call it by name whereas the resistance is much larger than Hamas.

○ Israel has taken more precautions to avoid harming civilians than any military in history, beyond what international law requires.  (As this is intended to be formal writing, I guess I cannot say BullShit!)

○ Hamas burnt babies on 7 October. (This trope has been fully debunked by journalists such as Max Blumenthal and others.)

○ Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis on 7 October. (See above and in any event, the human toll stands at almost 40,000 and if one counts correctly, it is closer to 200,000 per the and other professional bodies)

○ Iran is funding anti-Israel protests in the USA. (Really? May we see the evidence? Is there proof for this statement?)

○ Anti-Israel protests call for the genocide of Jews. (This is Hasbarra)

○ Israel does not deliberately target civilians (Of course they do.  The evidence is on the ground and we see it daily in technicolor on our screens).

○ Practically no civilians were killed in Rafah. (This is a clanger of a lie – it rings out with deceit!)

○ Hamas is stealing all the humanitarian aid that enters Gaza. (I have not seen a fat Hamas member yet!  The situation on the ground tells another story.)

○ Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel. (This is a Trump boo-boo without any recognition of what International Law spells out.  This city was not his to give away.)

At the same time as Netanyahu’s speech, Ayatollah Khamenei’s X admin published the words that he said on Saturday:

“The power of resistance is showing itself more and more day by day. A military, political and economic greatness like America is fighting with Hamas behind the Zionists, they could not bring them to their knees.”

Israeli PM Netanyahu called Israel’s deliberate starvation of the people of Gaza a “complete fabrication” whereas the reality on the ground and every professional agency tells a different story.  It is so that they maybe tell half the story, to keep themselves out of trouble but to be able to say:  We saw it and we reported it, even though they back-peddle.  Even with that, the reports are horrifying.

Two volunteer surgeons who worked in Gaza hospitals published “Israeli regime forces kill Palestinian children with sniper fire.”   This is Gaza.  This is also genocide and is a deliberate policy and war tactic. One can only think of US soldiers in Afghanistan. https://t.me/presstv/104197

If a pŕisoner is released out of Israeli custody, usually there with no charges, they are broken in mind, their spirits are crushed and their bodies need critical medical care. We can only think of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. This is the human value that the US and Israel have in common, brutal torture. They also have in common the killing of non-combatants and civilians. We can but only think of Dresden. It is not only a financial issue, it is a deep sharing of values of horror.  Burning down food-providing lands has a specific message and this is – if we cannot make you die of bullets and bombs, we will make you and your children die of famine. Destroying hospitals, schools, and vast stretches of civilian housing, coming in with bulldozers to raise the area flat so that the Palestinians cannot glean a brick from the broken landscape, stopping aid flowing in, killing journalists as a policy, killing medical staff as a policy, and killing UN staff as a policy is not war, it is wanton and brutal destruction of human life.

What Netanyahu wants, is weapons. What Netanyahu wants, is a war with Iran but he wants the US and the collective West to participate. And he wants a failed system to continue as this keeps him out of legal hot water and a jail sentence in Israel.  He has a vision: “Now here’s my vision for the broader Middle East, it’s also shaped in part by what we saw in the aftermath of World War II, after that war, America forged a security alliance in Europe to counter the growing Soviet threat,” Netanyahu said. “Likewise, America and Israel today can forge a security alliance in the Middle East to counter the growing Iranian threat. All countries that are at peace with Israel and all those countries who will make peace with Israel should be invited to join this alliance, which should be called the “Abraham Alliance,” the prime minister noted. Aah, Donald Trump gets his moment in the sun of Netanyahu. We all know about the Abraham Accords which were designed to never let a Palestinian see the light of freedom or their own country. Completely contrary to International Law, this is the rules-based international order in theater footlights.

Netanyahu cozily wrapped himself in the US flag to gain notoriety at home. While he is under severe political pressure in Israel, he wants to go back and tell them that the US has their back. Israeli journalist Yuval Malka, Channel 14: “According to the information I received from the delegation and what I know, Netanyahu has received full legitimacy in the US to wage a war in Lebanon. When he arrives in the country, he is expected to head to The Kirya (an area in central Tel Aviv, consisting of an urban military base), and from there he will start the war in Lebanon.”

They use the word ‘legitimacy’ whereas they are not able to be legitimate human beings.

This speech was sickening. It was a wanton display of a so-called leader whitewashing his genocide. That it is emblematic of US tactics is not in question.

All we can say is:  People, We Have a Problem!

The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and dozens of organizations and countries are striving to block or delay an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his genocidal war in the besieged Gaza Strip. One is not allowed to talk peace. If you speak peace in Europe for example, and you happen to be a president, the EU explores how to remove you from the EU presidency (Hungary).

The EU is culpable. NATO is culpable. The US is culpable. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz confirms: “We will not stop military support to Israel, and we reject calls to boycott its companies and institutions.”

These are the ones that have to be “Ukrained“.

The Houthis are the local heroes, proud and standing up tall with a quirky sense of humor. Without a navy, they laid lame transportation and even US carriers in their waters to stop the necessary trade and weapons into Israel.  With Hezbollah, they destroyed the air defense of Israel with their drone.  Yemen’s Ansarullah Leader has just stressed their determination to expand, and escalate anti-Israel operations.

But the U.S. has succeeded, by defying international law, in physically enabling the genocide in Gaza. They will in the next week install a puppet government in Venezuela and quickly move to strip that country’s vast oil wealth into the hands of the U.S. oil giants. (I don’t agree with him on Venezuela – we have a few days to go.)

Short-term American crudity can succeed a little while longer, as the Chinese watch their trillions of dollar reserves build, and bide their time. So for now I think we can still go along with the cliché that the U.S. president is the most powerful man in the world.

Zionism may be old and on the way out and we have to thank a resistance that is paying the heaviest price of all in cost of human lives and human dignity.

The world-historical crisis in Gaza might in the long term bring about radical change in both the U.S. and Israel, but in the interim, the greatest crimes the two nations have jointly taken part in have stiffened their defenses against unprecedented criticism.

The fear of blasting Israel has been breached. The taboo of the mighty Israeli military is broken. Tel Aviv and Washington have never faced this before. As both are settler nations, having wiped out natives across the land, they are circling their wagons on a new frontier. They can only respond with the most profound denial and viciousness.

China hosted a gathering of Palestinian faction leaders, leading to one very important outcome.  They will draw together one parliament if you like, to speak in unison.  This is known as the Beijing Declaration.  From Russia, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko noted that the relations with Iran are not susceptible to external influence.

From this, we can conclude that Israel and the US are fighting more than the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran and the other Resistance Palestinian factions.   Israel and the US are fighting the Rest of the World.

Underneath the horrors of Israeli action, the resistance is winning, as Israel cannot defeat them.  With the Israelis wish to start a greater war in the area, Hezbollah is trying its best to avoid a greater war without stepping back like cowards.  Another tranche of Hoopoe drone footage of Israeli sensitive areas has been released:  The militant group published over 8 minutes of footage on Wednesday captured the day before by surveillance drones over 50km into Israeli territory, detailing precise infrastructure such as Iron Dome missile system installations.  The footage follows previous videos released showing the Israeli port of Haifa and the Golan Heights, all examples of Hezbollah’s extensive surveillance capabilities, the group says.

1936 | Adolf Hitler: “We will prevail”

2024 | Benjamin Netanyahu: “We will win”

Whoever becomes the president of the US Imperial Empire, the aims, the objectives, the goals and the brutal methodology of that empire remain the same. We are facing another “Killing Fields”  It is a war against the rules-based international order and international law.  Netanyahu is the Carnie-Barker but not for a fun carnival.  The rules-based international order’s carnival comes with the blood and flesh and unidentified skulls of human beings.
