What a lot of people don't realize is that Palestinians are routinely used as a testbed for tyrannical surveillance tech and next gen weapons of war. What's happening in Gaza won't just stay in Gaza.
Understand this: Israelis are Europeans. All their leaders came from East Europe. Many have dual passports. They can easily go back to Europe but insist on staying in Palestine, stealing land, and if you stand up to them they kill you & call you a "terrorist".
Zionism is a cult
It's mind boggling and depressing to me that some people who rightly railed against the dehumanization of unvaxxed during covid are now more than willing to dehumanize Palestinians (incl children) because of their nationality.
The chair of Israel's "Hamas rape" commission, Cochav Elkayam Levy, has delivered a highly revealing response to me.
After I exposed her for promoting a 2022 photo of dead Kurdish fighters as women raped by Hamas on Oct 7, she did not bother to refute me, nor did she explain her mistake or issue a correction.
Instead, she tacitly acknowledged that her evidence was fake and simply thanked me for the publicity. Then she blocked me.
Elkayam Levy therefore acknowledges that Israel's commission on October 7 sex crimes has no interest in conducting a factual inquiry, or upholding basis standards of review. It is nothing more than a propaganda tool designed to distract from and justify the titanic crimes Israel is committing in Gaza. Indeed, its conclusions were determined by the political imperatives of the Israeli military, not by any evidence.
Elyakam Levy also felt compelled to defend her record of consulting for Israel's Attorney General on breaking Palestinian prisoner hunger strikes. While claiming she "advocated for the protection of prisoners rights" in a 2015 paper, she actually weaponized human rights law to advocate force feeding as a mechanism of protecting their "right to life."
@DrEliDavid What a hatefilled person, have you never considered that your lack of humanity is what’s pushing people away from sympathising with you. Ur rhetoric is becoming more unhinged by the day but should that surprise us when you’re defending the actions of a self proclaimed fascist gov
@OddestHistory_ @GeneiRyodan001 @spectatorindex Just another idiot who’s trying to encourage the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of a whole population and try mask it ask humanitarian efforts

A campaign that began as a defiant broadside against the war state and censorship industrial complex has suddenly pivoted to a bellicose exercise in pandering to rich Likudniks who seek war with Iran, the permanent violent warehousing of Palestinians and the criminalization of activism that challenges Israeli apartheid.
RFK Jr's host was Shmuley Boteach, a professional race hustler and alleged financial fraudster who owes the existence of his one-man political operation to the fortune of Sheldon Adelson, the late ultra-Zionist oligarch who called for dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran.
If RFK was not handed a massive wad of Benjamins to suck up to Shmuley, he was embarrassing himself for free, because he was clearly out of his depth.
During a rambling, militaristic diatribe, he referred to hijabs as "habibs," pronounced Chechnya as though he hadn't heard of the place until twenty minutes before the event, and offered a history of Israel's creation so cartoonishly propagandistic, it made Alan Dershowitz look like Ilan Pappe.
RFK Jr took it upon himself – or was taken on – to defend the Israeli army's brigade-sized invasion of Jenin, during which it bombed buildings with fighter jets and ran bulldozers through the middle of a refugee camp. He referred to the entire city as "a bomb factory," justifying the invasion because, in his words, "virtually one hundred percent of the people there are supporting terrorism." According to RFK, "everybody [in Jenin] is involved in bomb making" – there are no civilians there at all, therefore all are legitimate targets.
He did not seem to know that the Palestinian campaign of suicide bombing ended well over 15 years ago, or that the Palestinian Authority is legally forbidden from defending Palestinians from Israeli violence – its primary function is to act as an occupation subcontractor. According to RFK Jr, the PA has an official "pay-to-slay policy," in which "if you kill any Jew, you are going to get awarded with pay for life." Even professional AIPAC lobbyists shy away from this kind of baseless invective.
The half-baked hasbara escalated from there as RFK Jr cited Richard Kemp, a former British army officer who subsists on Israel lobby speaking fees, to claim "the conduct of the IDF, the Israeli defense forces when they go into Palestinian territories, is beyond anything in the world."
While Israeli army commanders openly adhere to the Dahiya Doctrine, named for the Beirut neighborhood Israel leveled in 2006, and which calls for targeting Arab civilians in order to turn them against their leadership, RFK Jr insisted that Israel's policy is to "avoid civilian casualties" – it exclusively attacks military targets.
It is hard to believe RFK Jr's ahistorical, belligerent line on Israel-Palestine was not bought and paid for by some pro-Israel billionaire. Which means he's just as corruptible as any Democrat or GOP hack. But if he actually believes what he's saying, he's also at least as pro-war as they are.
Julian Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for daring to publish a video showing US forces firing on Iraqi civilians — the collateral murder incident which happened in Iraq 16 years ago today.
Meanwhile, those who invaded Iraq on a pack of lies still walk free.
Zelensky heeded NATO's demand to break negotiations and dispatched masses of Ukrainian men onto a killing field to satisfy neocon fever dreams of bludgeoning and balkanizing Russia into oblivion. But in Vilnius, all he got was a pat on the back and some lousy cluster bombs. "You're stuck with us," Biden told him after rejecting his application to the club. Sad.
In 2014 CBS did a segment applauding Sound of Freedom ’s Tim Ballard’s work against child trafficking.
Almost 10 years later the same media is calling the film inspired by his work, “paranoid” “Qanon conspiracy Why?
