Sunak, von Leyen, go to Jerusalem to show support for Netanyu's bombing of his concentration camp.
This is so disgusting! This is one of those rare ocassions where ordinary people - well, me - would take to the streets.
It is so hugely outrageous and really difficult to understand. They should be supporting Guetteres and not Netanyahu. Israel should be blackballed by the West.
What does this do for our global standing?
This is a phase in the West's history where its fear of decline is blinding it to reason. The West has taken off its thinking cap, enlightenment Europe is stupidly following the idiot leadership in Washington. It is not even following its emotions, it is more a primeval, reptilian, response.
It was France that led us out of the dark ages intellectually speaking with its revolutionary values and its creation, practically-speaking, of the nation state. France was a beacon to the world, shining these modern ideas from Europe.
And yet look at that twat Macron, there's no other word for him, he goes to Israel and confirms that the priority is the release of Israeli hostages. This is really foolish and if enacted would get this conflict absolutely nowhere - releasing the hostages is the very last thing to do, only once there is enactament of peace and justice.
The Israeli state is a fait accompli, a historical fact, but bombing its Arab citizens out of existence, or pushing them into the desert or the sea, is completely and totally unacceptable - it's ethnic cleansing, it's genocide ... call it what you want.
The Israelis are hysterical as usual because all this has happened to them before and anyway they are a people from the scorched and ever-shifting sands of the Middle East, they are all the same: highly emotional, overheated, raging, blind....extreme heat and unrelenting sun can generate emotions like frustration and irritability, emotions that overwhelm.
Try to imagine the relief that the shade of a man's hand brings when the temperature is 50° - this is a story from the Bible incidentally, it's a story we living in cooler climes have difficulty in relating to but if you've ever lived there, you'll understand why these people can be so rabid and why Islam was the true "final solution" and why ordinary Muslims are generally the most peaceful people on earth.
But here we are following them in their hysteria where we should be calming them down and taking issue with them and putting them on a path which would avoid a major conflagration.
This is Zionism that is responsible, this idea of a greater Israel from the Jordan to the Mediterranean, of a completely false idea of a land with no people for a people with no land. To condemn Zionism is not being anti-semitic or jewophobic it is to condemn a nasty and pernicious ideology and condemn a government that is driven by this racist thinking. Jews everywhere should be ashamed of Netanyahu and the extreme orthodox right.
If there are three rules in life for finding the truth and a way firward, the first is to chuck away all ideologies (not easy) (religeon is an ideology btw). Zionism is an understandable response to the pogroms, but it is still a very nasty "ism" that wouldn't last five minutes if it were freely debated in public, in Europe today.
And to that video, this three-star general that is helping the Israeli government plan its ground offensive. Well there are apparently about 48 four and five star generals these days in America's DoD, whereas the last war was won by eight such generals. I seem to recall this from a Mearsheimer.
And as to these tunnels. I have no idea, but I would imagine that the heavy bombing is an exercise producing seismic information that would allow a pretty clear mapping of The Tunnels and then just rolling down damn-buster type bombs through them would collapse them, I would imagine.
And yeah all the longer term health consequences of blowing apart buildings full of toxic castinogens or all that depleted uranium and all the other stuff, it isn't exactly good for nature and the environment - these are really stupid people we are dealing with, stupid in the Ekhart Tolle sense of not being in tune with the universe.
PS Palestinians have a good brain, every bit as good as their brother's ... as you would expect.
