Even more so than in 1948, what Israel is doing is staring us in the face in real time. And yet, just as in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.
Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing inside Gaza. Most genocide experts conclude it is carrying out genocide too. The goal in both cases is to cause another Great Ethnic Cleansing, driving Palestinians outside their homeland, as happened in 1948 and again in 1967, under cover of war.
And yet neither of these terms – ethnic cleansing and genocide – are in the “mainstream” coverage of, and commentary about, Israel’s attack on Gaza.
We’re still told that this is about “eradicating” Hamas – something that very obviously cannot be achieved because you can’t eradicate an oppressed people’s determination to resist their oppressor. The more you oppress them, the more resistance you provoke.
The West is now trying to focus public attention on the “day after”, as though the wasteland that has been made of Gaza can be governed by anyone, let alone the chronically weak, Vichy-style regime known as the Palestinian Authority.
It is astonishing to see that what was true in 1948 is equally true in 2023. Israel spreads lies and deceit. Western elites repeat those lies. And even when Israel commits crimes against humanity in broad daylight, when it warns in advance of what it is doing, Western establishments still refuse to acknowledge those crimes.
The truth, which should have been obvious long before, in 1948, is that Israel is not a peace-loving, liberal democracy. It is a classic settler colonial state, following in a long “Western” tradition that led to the founding of the United States, Canada and Australia, among others.
Settler colonialism’s mission is always the same: to replace the native population.

It seems the Jewish Chronicle is at it again. Whipping up hate and Islamophobia. This time against our Mosque and other Mosques.
Here's a reminder of the JC's abysmal record on Islamophobia

Nothing to do with anti-Semitism, everything to do with defending Israeli crimes: Rachael Corrie was murdered by an Israeli soldier.
The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is actually a campaign against Palestinians: https://t.co/NenbDkdd2g
@AsaWinstanley We have no choice but to defy all the forces that spearheaded the fake antisemitism campaigns, as well as those that buckled rather than fight back.
Shurat HaDin is a Kahanist cut-out for the Mossad and other Israeli spy agencies -- so *of course* they are going to take Israeli directions to defame @rogerwaters and attack his anti-fascist performance.
See my reporting below for details of the lying racists at @ShuratHaDin:
My publisher @orbooks reports a big spike in orders for my book since anti-Palestinian trolls began attacking it on Twitter the other day.
Carry on!
