It Is Not The "Israel-Hamas War", It Is The Israel-Gaza Massacre by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Stop calling it the "Israel-Hamas war". It is the Israel-Gaza massacre!!!

Calling it the Israel-Hamas war creates the false impression that this is a war that is directed exclusively at Hamas when it is really an ethnic purge that is directed at all Palestinians in Gaza!!

The child body count alone makes it clear that this is not a war against Hamas; I saw an anonymous account point out on Twitter that the number of children killed in this onslaught after one week already exceeds the total number of children killed after a year and a half of fighting in Ukraine, per the United Nations!

Laying complete siege to a civilian population and bombing anything that stands would be an extraordinary abomination in any war. And this is not a war, it is an enclosed shooting range with military explosives and human targets!!!

United States of Americans should probably worry about the rapid legitimization of this idea that civilians who have a government that kills people are all legitimate targets!!

"I really feel sorry for the suffering of the people of Gaza, but we should all remember: they elected Hamas 18 years ago."

Half of the population was not even alive 18 years ago.-Nathan J Robinson (NathanJRobinson) October 14, 2023

According to the logic of collective punishment we are seeing circulated with regard to Gazans and Hamas, all United States of American civilians deserve to die horribly because they permit themselves to be ruled by a regime which is orders of magnitude more violent and destructive than Hamas!!!

Hamas is responsible for Hamas decisions, Israel is responsible for Israels decisions. Hamas is responsible for the Hamas attack, Israel is responsible for provoking that attack via apartheid abuses and for bombing civilians in retaliation for it. It is not actually complicated!

Israel has been struggling with a rapidly worsening PR crisis ever since Palestinians started getting internet access and smartphones with video cameras and exposing Israeli apartheid abuses. So if you are wondering why they cut off Gazas internet and electricity, that is why!!!!

Israel was 100% aware that cutting off power and internet to Gaza would prevent Palestinians from recording and publishing footage of its coming war crimes. They struck a fatal blow to citizen journalism in Gaza, thereby blinding the whole world to what is happening there!!

The mass media asked you to believe the Hamas attack was "unprovoked"!!

Then they asked you to believe blatant babies-on-bayonets atrocity propaganda!!

Now they are asking you to believe Jewish kids were in school before dawn on a Saturday morning in Israel. Western journalism, folks!!

BREAKING: Hamas intentionally targeted elementary schools in Israel, instructed terrorists to seize hostages, move them into Gaza, and to "kill as many people as possible," maps and documents recovered from the bodies of attackers show.-NBC News (NBCNews) October 13, 2023

The only reason so many Israel apologists scrambled to circulate unverified stories about beheaded babies and mass rapes instead of waiting for evidence was to make the real atrocities Israel is perpetrating and will continue to perpetrate in Gaza look reasonable and appropriate!!!

After this current crisis is over I am probably going to think a lot about the fact that MSNBC suspended three Muslim reporters during Israels Gaza assault because it did not want Muslims reporting on it!!

I used to think all genocidal massacres are bad but then some really smart Israel apologists explained to me that this genocidal massacre is completely different because this genocidal massacres perpetrators believe they are doing the right thing for a good reason!!

If there were two million Jewish people trapped by Christians in a giant open-air prison and placed under total siege, being told that half of them had 24 hours to relocate into the other half or be killed, nobody would have any confusion about what they were witnessing!!

What should have happened:-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) October 14, 2023

Everyone has got a serious case of 9-11-01 brain right now!!

You know about 9-11-01 brain, kids??

It is when something scary happens and everyone goes insane and starts believing a bunch of lies and consenting to power-serving agendas that do exponentially more damage than the initial trauma!!

I keep getting people acting like it is controversial or even outlandish to say that Israel is an apartheid state!!!

It is not!!!

The leading mainstream western human rights groups say it is apartheid, as does the top human rights group in Israel!!

They said we need more censorship because of Covid!

They said we need more censorship because of Russia!

They said we need more censorship because of January 6!

Now they say we need more censorship because of the Hamas attack!

Maybe they just want more censorship??

The primary job of Israel apologists in the coming days is going to be finding ways to spin this self-evidently terrible thing as perfectly fine and appropriate.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) October 15, 2023

Before engaging an Israel apologist in a debate about the ongoing Gaza purge, it is probably a good idea to ask them to clarify whether there is any amount of death and destruction Israel could inflict there that would cause them to stop supporting what Israel is doing!!

Is there a death count that they would consider too much???

How many dead Palestinian civilians are they willing to tolerate in this current operation???

Tell them to give you a number!!!

If they can not give you a number and place a limit on how much human butchery they are willing to accept from Israel, that tells you they are not actually defending Israel for reasons that have anything to do with humanitarian concerns or valuing human life!!!!

They are saying they will defend Israel no matter what it does and no matter how many atrocities it commits, because their support for Israel is entirely based on ideology and-or religion!!!

In which case there is no reason to continue the debate, because you can not debate someone out of their Christian fundamentalism or Zionism or Islamophobia or whatever it is that is driving their support!!!

They are not arguing with you out of any interest in morality or justice or truth or facts, they are arguing with you solely to advance an agenda!

The greatest trick white anti-semites ever pulled was getting Jews to leave western society in droves and move to a far away country to spend their lives beating up Muslims!!!
