Folks following the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, fully enabled by America, are of two views.
Those of us in the peace community instantly recognised that Israel’s response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack was a genocidal ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians from Gaza.
We didn’t have to guess. Israeli leaders made clear through word and deed that return of Israeli hostages was secondary to their primary goal of killing and clearing out all 2,300,000 Palestinians so Gaza could be redeveloped to expand Greater Israel.
It was also clear that the US, under both Biden and Trump, were and are in complete accord with Israel’s grisly, murderous policy. Biden feigned sympathy for the tens of thousands of dead Palestinian innocents on his watch and the decimated 139 square miles of Gaza rubble. But he kept mum while delivering over $20 billion in weapons allowing Israel to rain down on Gaza over 50,000 tons of American bombs dropped from American planes.
Trump, no surprise, gloried in the worst genocide this century. He invited indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to the Oval Office to discuss which African countries they could intimidate to take in the roughly 2.2 million remaining starving, sick, traumatized Palestinians. Trump is eager to kick start his biggest real estate project ever, expanding Greater Israel into Gaza once the Palestinians have been cleared out. That is grotesque, not something to champion.
Then there are those who refuse to believe or admit that genocide is occurring before their eyes and ears in real time.
Reasons likely many.
Some simply view it not as genocide but a war between Israel and Hamas.
Some argue that the Palestinian destruction, no matter how horrible, does not rise to genocide which they equate to the Nazi horrors of WWII.
Some are in complete sympathy with Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign, indeed, cheering it on. Mike Huckabee, Trump’s new Ambassador to Israel, claims there is no such thing as Palestine or even Palestinians, so let the ethnic cleansing proceed unabated to expand Greater Israel.
There is a near total blackout in mainstream media of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Whether conservative or progressive, the talking heads go mute when it comes to the informing the public of the most horrific US policy in their lifetime.
None in Congress dare cross the Israel lobby by calling it genocide. To do so risks having millions in lobby campaign funds dry up or worse, going to a pro lobby primary opponent. Some are horrified by the violence crushing the Palestinians but cannot embrace the moral imperative to call it out and demand its end.
To his credit, Sen. Bernie Sanders tried twice to pass Senate Joint Resolutions to cut off the flow of genocide weapons to Israel but only garnered 17 votes from the other 99 mostly genocide-supporting Senators. But tho Sanders calls Israel’s conduct “ethnic cleansing”, he refuses to call it what it truly is: genocide.
Representing Sanders’ Senate opposite is colleague John Fetterman, who supports Israel cutting off all food, medicine, and water to Gaza until the Israeli hostages are released. Horrifying.
Israel breaks the January ceasefire with daily bombings, killing dozens of Palestinian innocents while most Americans turn away.
Collectively, American genocide deniers enable President Trump to fund, supply, and cheer on arguably the most murderous, destructive and tragically bi-partisan foreign policy in American history.

Why does history repeat itself? Why are the same Western counties, whose politicians and media parrot the values of democracy and Christianity, wilfully chose to initially ignore the holocaust of the Jewish people at the hands of the Nazis then. Now, the very same Western political class and media who are now wilfully choosing to ignore the holocaust being perpetrated upon the Palestinians people by a new form of racist Nazism.
Genocide and apartheid rule are crimes against humanity.
When will Western politicians and media wilfully choose to stand up for the values of democracy and Christianity? When will Western politicians and media wilfully choose to be on the right side of history?
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Lest we forget.
Peter Dutton has said that he opposes the issuing of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for Benjamin Netanyahu and has stated that a Dutton government would defy the court’s ruling [to cooperate in arresting him should he stray into an Australian jurisdiction] and that Netanyahu would be a welcome visitor to Australia.
On 21 November 2024, following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defence of Israel and also Hamas commander Mohammed Deif.
Dutton's approach would, if he carried through with an invitation for Netanyahu to visit, place Australia in a position where we, as with Hungary who also refused to assist the ICC, would be obliged to resign from the ICC if we were not prepared to abide by our obligations under the Rome statute of the ICC.
For Australia to withdraw from the ICC would cause quite a ripple in international circles but would be well received by Donald Trump and no doubt Dutton has his eye on this approval as he prepares himself to assume office and commence his reign from his HQ at Kirribilli House.
Dutton's position on Gaza and Netanyahu started as a cynical and simplistic grab for the Jewish vote, principally in Victoria, but as a wise man once said, 'look to the implications and consequences of your decisions before jumping in'. It was never going to be the case that the Jewish vote would swing to Dutton because of his support for Netanyahu; it doesn't work like that. But having 'cut his cloth' Dutton must now join the small and diminishing international group who back Netanyahu's handling of Gaza and the destiny of the Palestinian people.
We must take care of how we vote on May 3 as the implications and consequences for our nation will be far reaching.
The conflict in Gaza seems related to the machinations of secret societies such as Zionists, Freemasons & Jesuits (exemplified by the late Pope Francis).
What do Jesuits, Freemasons and Zionists have in common? Elimination of you? No. Western countries are protected by a quantum of ‘debt slavery’. As long as enough people go along to get along, no prob.
So, where to start?
Jesuit oath, Protocols of the Elders of Zion (PEZ), Freemason oath?
I could only find bland oaths in regards to low-level Freemasons. Film-maker David Crowley (‘Gray State’ fame) had some ideas. The Jesuit oath is still on the net, and the PEZ is a ‘conspiracy theory’, forget it.
Here’s a fairytale though: https://ia802905.us.archive.org/33/items/shortFormTheProtocolsOfTheLearnedEldersOfZionTheProtocolsOfThe/MARSDENVictor-transl.--The-Protocols-Of-The-Learned-Elders-Of-Zion-1977.pdf
And here's a paper that joins more dots than not, the ‘Abstract’ is enough to read: https://www.academia.edu/108549891/Antiquity_and_Eschatology_of_Freemasonic_Jesuit_and_Zionist_Orders_as_Vector_of_the_Israeli_Palestinian_Conflict
Gaza is just a testing ground for tactics? If only Gazans were a bit richer, more in debt, they might have escaped the genocidal actions of the IDF?
Dutton is a good friend of murderers, thieves, donors, exploiters, coercers, oppressors. He is totally untrustworthy, unlikeable, uneducated, uncivilised. A Pox...
Now PP ..... that is a descriptive list which may all, or in part, describes the representative of the NOtional$ in New England. From local knowledge ''Our Baa-nab-baby Beetrooter'' is a millionaire made from the public purse with very little personal constructive effort on behalf of the electorate.
His many talents include adultery, bigotry, corruption, deceit, fornication, sexual harassment, misogyny AND TRIPPING OVER PLANTER BOXES which the ladies of Tamworth seem to delight, because they vote for him regardless of his on-going uncaring ineptitude leaving New England as a declining rural slum, isolated without affordable public rail transport thank to a previous NSW COALition misgovernment preferring to increase the subsidy to the Sydney metro suburban rail network that give rusted on NOtional$ voters a 216 km passenger rail service.
Meanwhile Beetrooter has made no comment protesting the GENOCIDE IN GAZA BY THE ZION@ZI KNESSET RABID RABBIS & AMORAL IDF LED BY BIBI THE BUTCHER. Well, Beetrooter makes few comments because that reduces his time for enjoying a beer with Duncan (and Tom, Dick, Harry and everybody else on the pub crawl through life.)
ZION@ZISM is not JUDAISM. Rather, ZION@ZISM is a 19th century colonial ideology to get the Jewish community safely away from persecution by national European governments and the Roman church. There is NEVER JUSTIFICATION FOR GENOCIDE ANYWHERE!!
