They’re dropping bombs on a concentration camp full of children. THEY’RE DROPPING BOMBS ON A CONCENTRATION CAMP FULL OF CHILDREN.
Not in the past. Right now. They’re still doing it. They show no signs of stopping.
No part of opposing this should be remotely controversial.
❖
They’re dropping bombs on a concentration camp full of kids. Even shitlibs and pseudo-leftists who get every other foreign policy issue wrong are managing to get this one right, it’s that obvious. Anyone getting this issue wrong can be permanently dismissed without any real loss.
No matter how much you talk about how evil and bad Hamas are, it will still be a fact that Israel is raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.
No matter how much you say the words “human shields”, it will still be a fact that Israel is raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.
No matter how much you accuse Israel’s critics of loving terrorists, it will still be a fact that Israel is raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.
No matter how much you accuse Israel’s critics of hating Jews, it will still be a fact that Israel is raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.

No matter how many words you use or how much narrative spin you try to put on it or how many ad hominems you throw at the people criticizing what Israel is doing, it will still be a fact that Israel is raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.
Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and assume that the people arguing that it’s necessary to keep dropping military explosives on a giant concentration camp full of children are on the side that will be judged negatively by history.
❖
A huge amount of western depravity hides behind the unexamined assumption that killing people with bombs is somehow less evil than killing them with bullets or blades. By waging nonstop foreign bombing campaigns, the west desensitized the public to the reality of what bombs do.
❖
Hamas are in the ambulances. Hamas are in the hospitals. Hamas are underneath the refugee camps. Hamas are behind the children. Maybe they’re just massacring civilians.
If a military power was just massacring thousands of civilians and then making up propagandistic lies to cover its massacres, would it look any different from what Israel’s actions and statements look like right now?
❖
WE are the terrorists.
WE inflict violence and fear on civilian populations to advance political agendas.
WE murder babies.
WE massacre women and children.
The word “terrorism” has no meaning unless you apply it first and foremost to this murderous western civilization.
❖
Not since Iraq has the US empire allowed itself to get caught looking this brazenly evil in front of everyone. It’s always been the most murderous and depraved power structure on earth, but usually its psychopathy is more hidden and harder for the general public to understand.
And this is like if everyone was watching the Iraq invasion online in real time, with raw footage of all the civilians it’s killing flooding their social media feeds 24/7. There’s only so much propaganda spin you can put on that.
❖
I’ve seen so many dead kids while gathering information about this massacre. Never seen so many dead kids in my life. I’m already at the point where I see kids around the neighborhood and just feel reflexively grateful that they’re standing up and moving and breathing with all their inside parts on the inside, like kids are supposed to be.
When the holocaust returned in the 21st century it came denouncing anti-semitism and wearing a Star of David.
❖
If you’re among the millions of people who are coming to realize that the western political/media class have been lying to you about Israel-Palestine this entire time, you should probably be aware that they’ve been lying to you about every other foreign conflict as well.
❖
Israel created Hamas, in the same way punching someone in the same place repeatedly creates a bruise. If you abuse a population with extreme aggression and deprive them of any peaceful recourse, you’re going to see violent factions emerge like a bruise on repeatedly struck flesh.
Believing you can get rid of violent resistance groups with bombs is like believing you can get rid of a bruise by punching it harder, or by switching from punching to hitting it with a bat. The more you abuse the population, the more you’re lending cause and legitimacy to the factions which endorse violent resistance to your abuses.
You don’t get rid of the bruise with more abuse, you get rid of the bruise by ceasing the abuse and doing everything you can to help heal the wound.
❖
The last month has really brought out the best in the best people and the worst in the worst people.

Thankyou Caitlin Johnson. It shouldn’t take a genius to understand this.
This article has a summary of the current narrative. What a pathetic narrative vs the reality that is happening right in front of your face!
All the Weeping Wendys and Moaning Minnies of the Goodthinkful Media are busily telling us that the beastly Israelis are industriously committing “genocide” in Gaza, when the reality is that fewer than half of one percent of the inhabitants of Gaza have been slain so far [6 November.]
As for the term “refugee camp”, the mental picture the expression brings to mind is that of bedraggled outcasts shivering under threadbare tents and subsisting on gruel, not a densely-packed urban community of multistory buildings.
That reads like you’re disappointed with the kill-rate, Billy.
How many infants do you think might be a nice round number to sacrifice to your gloating deity?
Should they put the pedal to the metal for the full population, or just 80%??
I trust your Raytheon shares are making a ki££ing for your €$tate.
Billy is trying to diminish the fact the white supremacists of Israel have been committing genocide on everybody around them for over 70 years.
Oh Billy would you prefer it was 10% of the population? With the potential for starvation, disease and more it may not be long before we are there. As well many of the wounded will also die.
“WE the People of the United States…in order to form a more perfect union…” Well, tell us Biden—what happened tp that idea? WHY do you allow, yes allow the Nazi Israelis to bomb and murder children women, families, and yes, doctors and ;elected official to become worth NOTHING to you and lying Israel? The longer you support Netanyahu, the ore Palestinians will die—but you dom’t care do you–you of the feeble brain who has no idea what he is saying. I am so angry—as America turns into the land of false promises and death- and all spread everywhere on the planet. The weather and the planet is turning against us and all those wars—will become the awful final solution for the Human Race.
Anyone notice there are no complexities in bombing a concentration camp full of children? There is only a fact: The individuals or groups involved are the lowest form of criminal and should be extirpated from the family of humanity.
They’ve already excluded themselves from humanity, by their demonstrated lack of that quality.
No extirpation required.
I recommend the extirpation after it has been determined that they are no longer human, e.g., having bombed a concentration camp full of children…
Us command is guiding operations

so is a fact that the US and Israel are raining military explosives upon a concentration camp full of children, and that it urgently needs to stop.
This is the truth and thank you
I don’t believe they will stop
There is OIL of the coast of Gaza
Remember Iraq OIL
Arms industry Banks £££££
Unimaginable sadistic cruelty
The white supremists of Israel have murdered millions of Palestinians and others during the last 70 years. My saying this won’t cause the Israeli Holocaust upon the world to stop. However carpet bombing Israel into oblivion might be a good way to stop the white supremacy of Israel. After all they believe in it.
Script
My last night’s nightmare was,
Too close to death but,
In courts that lacked justice!
The bandits’ mean leader,
Had plans in his head,
Against me, most nations!
Did not know the reasons,
Confused, suspected,
Felt alarmed and cautious!
Jumped from the sleep,
Surprised of the dream,
Decided to write these.
Re-slept me again,
Politics, I dreamt,
Scripts with Bible.
I dived deep into them,
Abraham with Moses,
Tribes of the Israelites.
A vision: “They are lies,
Look at the genocides,
That they call miracles,
Of God and Abraham’s!”
I felt that some power,
Within me? Outsider?
Spoke and demanded:
“Go, enjoy the bonfire,
With Scripts that claim
God has sent prophets,
If approves Abraham!”
Taken by the nightmare,
The Haman and Esther,
Halloween’s Massacres,
Walked away from bed!
I want to thank both Caitlin and the information clearing house for this article .
Here something I wrote this morning, and my suggestion to those who can.
Organize a demonstration that would surround the United Nations building.
Perhaps that will make them realize what is really happening outside of their air conditioned office/party place
To the United Nations
United Nations for defamation, spreading the lies and choking nations.
Run by the greed of corporations, dictates its rule to impose suppression.
Blind eyes for crimes of the worst nations, sponsoring death via vaccination.
Running the game, of corporations, destroying the world, for domination.
Death of its staff, killed by a rogue nation, hides the reports from all the nations.
All to protect, it’s Ill conception, impose its blackout of informations.
Killing its own, United Nations, watching them burn for celebration.
Sponsoring death and mutilation, bombing civilians and their starvation.
Peace for the rich, United Nations, poison and death, for all pore nations.
Endorsing wars, for cash donations, looking away from slaughtered nations.
What has become, United Nations, once champion of peace, now of regimes, and world domination.
Sponsoring death, by vaccination, killing the world, by full deception.
This must end now, United Nations, you’ll be held account, for devastation.
Time to step up, face the deception, corporate puke, United Nations.
Change and bring peace, United Nations, the world will judge you and your inaction.
Your genocide normalization, shows you are now governed, by corporations.
Stop genocide, United Nations, or face the consequence, your cancellation .
Sol Sön.

I now have full insight into what drove ‘Shigglegrubber’ and Co to such as their putrid extremes. Our Daddio did not Know that he died for the wrong culprits, WW11.
Can I see another kid’s woe and not be enraged too.!
Ours was really to make ’em, Not break ’em..!
Anyone that thinks these are “Gods people”, chosen for their good works … needs their head examined.
And we need to distinguish between Jews and Zionists as many Jewish people are as outraged by what is going on as the rest of us. I grew up with Jewish socially conscious people and I never knew about the Jewish mob, its power in the U.S. and Israel, its corruption of both. And the latter are Zionists of course.
✡️🗣 Another day, another ‘Israeli’ singer belting out their zionist bloodlust ✡️🗣
# We’re going to finish off Gaza
# We’ll return to Gush Katif (former ‘Israeli’ settlements in Gaza)
# We are a light unto the Goyim
Racist supremacy. Occupation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide. Usury. A light unto the nations indeed.

The illegitimate so-called “State of Israel” has shown the true face of its occupation government. Hamas acted in anger for 75 years of oppression by a brutal, murderous, thieving gang. The Israeli entity acts out of instant bloodlust revenge against defenceless children. That entity and those complicit with it put under boot every human value. An indelible putrid stain is upon them. They should never again be allowed to move within the civilised world let alone be on top of it.
Good news!! The white Jew Anthony Blinken has just asked his comrade white supremists of Israel to use smaller bombs in Gaza. It can’t get any better.. (this is sarcasm in case some can’t see it)
