Was this your idea of making America great? A full authoritarian state where the government is enslaved to a foreign entity, and masked men in the streets abduct political opponents to Zionism to send them off?

Absolutely terrible. Wake up everyone.

This is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary interviews of a former senior US government official on Gaza.

This is Chas Freeman, former Assistant Secretary of Defense and former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Key points in the video:

- He agrees that many of the victims of Oct 7th were killed by the Israeli army in the form of "undisciplined fire by helicopters with hellfire missiles or by tanks with incendiary rounds directed at buildings". In the case of the victims of the music festival he even says they "were largely killed, it appears, by hellfire missiles and by other undisciplined fire by Israeli forces". To him this "disgrace in military terms" stems from a "lack of discipline and training necessary to respond" but also from the IDF's "Hannibal directive", which "says that rather than get into bargaining over hostage exchange you should just kill the Israeli hostages along with their captors."

- He says that with Oct 7th "Hamas had 2 objectives": 1) "Put the Palestinian self-determination issue back on the global agenda", something he says they've "succeeded" in doing since they're is "widespread recognition outside Israel that only self-determination for Palestine in the form of a 2-state solution can provide security to Israel". He says that even in "the US, which has a larger Jewish population than Israel, many Jews have come to realize that this is the case. Younger Jews in particular in the U.S. are very disillusioned with Zionism and don't want to suffer contagion from it in the form of antisemitism, which is actually growing now as a result of Israeli actions".
2) "Give Hamas enormous popularity among Palestinians because they are seen as having stood up, as having been willing to accept death rather than captivity". He refers to Norman Finkelstein's "analogy of slave revolts in the U.S." and particularly the "1831 revolt by Nat Turner, a well-educated very intelligent enslaved African who led a slave revolt in Southern Virginia which had as its objective the murder of every white person they encountered." He says it "raises a moral question: 'Is the violence of the slave-owner morally the same as the violence of the slave trying to end that violence?'. The same moral question arises with Israeli oppression of Palestinians versus Palestinian resistance to oppression."

- All in all he concludes that much like the violence against African-Americans that followed slave revolts in the 19th century, the Israeli vengeance against Palestinians "won't be remembered fondly by anyone in the future". In fact he goes as far as saying that "when people think of Israel in the past they thought of it as a refuge for the victims of the Holocaust... now they will think of it as the home of perpetrators of genocide. When they think of Israel, they will think of burned buildings and dead babies. This is an image problem of a fundamental nature and from the point of view of Israel it strips Israel of its protection by charges of antisemitism against anyone who is critical of Israel because to be critical of people who are carrying out genocide cannot be antisemitism, it cannot be considered immoral. Antisemitism is a despicable attitude but to oppose genocide by Israel is not."

It's interviews like this that demonstrate how Israel is a weapon of mass destruction of the West, and of the morally superior image it tried to portray: https://t.co/8uQ285eTia

This is UK Minister of State Lee Rowley responding to the fact that an IDF sniper killed a Christian mother and her daughter IN A CHURCH in Gaza. An act the Pope himself called "terrorism" and that Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the most senior Catholic cleric in England, characterized as a “cold–blooded killing”.

Minister Rowley's response? This is Israel "trying to defend itself" and the "only way to end the situation in Gaza is Hamas laying down their weapons and stop using their population as human shields".

In other words to him this isn't even the IDF's responsibility, murdering women and their daughters in churches is just par for the course until the other side surrenders...

Which is something you could maybe imagine the most evil terrorist organizations saying - "we'll murder your wifes and daughters in your places of worship until you surrender, your deaths are on you!" - but now we have UK ministers essentially saying this stuff, which is absolutely insane!

Does this reflect something that was always there, only hidden under a veneer of pretense morality? Or is it the product of a more recent degradation of morality in the West? At the end of the day it doesn't matter, fact is I can't see how there's any recovery possible from this for a long, long time. The whole world sees this kind of talk which is pervasive among almost all Western leaders. And they just won't forget, we're looking at a future where any talk of "values", "principles", "respect of rules", etc. by the West will be met by laughter and ridicule by the rest of the world for decades to come.

Israel has killed approximately 15,000 people in Gaza.

And according to their own data between 87% and 94% have been civilians.

Utterly indefensible.

#Infographic| Statistics on the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip (07 October-24 November 2023)

[Daniel Haqiqatjou @Haqiqatjou]

Statistics on the current war on Gaza are shocking.

Consider figures just released by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. This is a respected Geneva-based Human Rights NGO.

They estimate that the Israelis have killed 20000 Palestinians

18500 of these are civilians, including 8000 children and 4000 women.

Meanwhile, over 1.7 million Palestinians have been displaced.

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

[Kim Iversen 🇺🇸 @KimIversenShow]

I want to add that the cruelty was aimed at all Palestinians no matter their religion or politics. Christian Palestinians, American Palestinians (there trying to rebuild) Jewish Palestinians (yes, they exist!), Muslim Palestinians and Agnostic Palestinians. It made no difference. The cruelty against them is the same. Settlers attack and even kill, IDF does nothing. Settlers steal, IDF does nothing. On the other hand a Palestinian fights back, their mother’s home gets destroyed as punishment. Palestinians were ALL in unison about who is their greatest oppressor. It was shocking to see.

[Kim Iversen 🇺🇸 @KimIversenShow]

Every American I know who has spent time in Palestine comes back angry, disgusted and traumatized. I’ve yet to meet someone who says “it’s not that bad. It’s their fault and they deserve it”. I’ve met many who went believing Israel were the good guys and Palestinians screwed themselves over only to come back with an entirely disgusted view of Israel.

I came back in a state of shock. I witnessed in real life things I had only read about in history books. Things I never believed a government could do in modern times. I had a neutral view of Israel prior to my trip. During my trip I was extremely skeptical and even pissed off several Palestinians with my lines of questioning. When I came back to the states and began processing everything… I couldn’t turn on the lights or get myself out of bed for a week. What I saw was unimaginable. It was a cruelty aimed at a group of generous and warm people with a very very clear intent- to get rid of them. And I couldn’t believe the group doing it to these people had it done to them not long ago. They took similar tactics and weaponized them against others. That is what I saw and I can’t unsee it. The children in the schools would stop me and beg me to come home and tell America to stop. They know it’s us allowing this abuse.

Myself and everyone I know comes back disgusted with Israel. And many of us weren’t even in Gaza witnessing war. Everyday normal life for Palestinians is cruel and it’s 100% controlled by Israel. And despite what we’ve been spoon fed our whole lives, it’s not done because the Palestinians are violent and dangerous, it’s done to rid the region of them. To make their lives so miserable they either leave or violently rise up giving Israel an excuse to take more land. And the Israelis are not shy about this when you speak to them. Some might couch it with statements like “well we tried peace but they didn’t accept it”. It doesn’t matter how they phrase it, they still end up in the same place which is “they can’t stay” and “we want them gone”.

[Mohammed Hijab @mohammed_hijab]

Question for Zionists: if Hamas was hiding in Israel would it be okay to bomb Israeli schools and hospitals ?

[Hamza A. Tzortzis @HATzortzis]

There are a few lies in that post.

@piersmorgan do you ever research the issues you comment on?

For now I will focus on the main correction - Israel's impact on Gaza post-2005:

“Closures and restrictions of movement into and out of the Gaza Strip have steadily intensified to the point that it has been effectively severed from the rest of the occupied territory. Since the removal of Jewish settlers in 2005, Gaza effectively amounts to a besieged Palestinian ghetto, with the ‘open-air prison’ analogy repeatedly invoked…”¹

“Israel’s sweeping restrictions on leaving Gaza deprive its more than two million residents of opportunities to better their lives, Human Rights Watch said today on the fifteenth anniversary of the 2007 closure. The closure has devastated the economy in Gaza, contributed to fragmentation of the Palestinian people, and forms part of Israeli authorities’ crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians.”²

Jean-Pierre Filiu is a famous French historian and Arabist. He has written extensively on religion and politics in the Middle East. In an academic article detailing Israeli wars on Palestine, Filiu had this to say:

“Meanwhile, according to a document leaked to Haaretz in October 2012, Israeli decision-makers had fixed the average daily intake for the population of Gaza at 2,279 calories per person, and were allowing supply trucks into the Strip on that basis. The fact that Israel could feel empowered to decide how much a Palestinian could eat on a daily basis shows how perverse and degrading the post-2005 occupation of the Gaza Strip had become. The description of Gaza as an “open-air prison” was actually far from the mark since, in any jailhouse, detainees are not supposed to be shot at or bombed except in the case of a full-fledged riot. In Gaza, Israeli raids, whether “targeted” or not, remained a regular occurrence.”³

Robert Piper, UN Coordinator for Humanitarian Aid and Development Activities in the Occupied Palestine Territory, wrote:

“In 2012 the UN Country Team produced a report on living conditions in Gaza and predicted that based on the trends we were seeing then, Gaza was on track to become ‘unliveable’ by 2020. Sadly, as we check-in on those same trends again in this 2017 report, the deterioration has accelerated, sped-along not least by a devastating round of hostilities in 2014 from which we are only now starting to recover…For most of us, with electricity only 2 hours a day as was the case recently, and youth unemployment at 60%, the ‘unliveability’ threshold has already been passed.”⁴
