Israel Supporters Would Defend Literally Any Israeli Atrocity by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Israel could exterminate the entire population of Gaza and its supporters would still be saying "WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER 7??"
Israel supporters are like, "No no you do not understand, the side that is killing babies and incinerating families and assassinating journalists and starving civilians and bombing cultural heritage sites and carpet bombing entire neighborhoods and driving an indigenous people off their land are the GOOD guys."
There is literally nothing Israel could do that its supporters would not defend. Try to fill in the blank in "Israel could _______ and people would defend it" with something that would not be true.
Most of the insanely evil things you could put in that space are already actually being done. Genocide? They are already doing that. Murdering babies? They are already doing that. Killing thousands of children? Already doing that. Deliberately targeting and assassinating journalists, artists and scholars? Already doing that.
Israel supporters will defend any evil - literally any evil - as long as it is being perpetrated by their favorite regime. There are zero constraints of any kind, because Israel supporters are completely uninterested in morality. If they were, they would not be supporting one of the most immoral governments on this planet even after all it has done in the last two months.
Part of the problem is the widespread consensus that October 7 means Israel is justified in doing literally anything in response, no matter how heinous. Israel could exterminate the entire population of Gaza and its supporters would still be saying "WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER 7??"
The United States is by far the most destructive, murderous and depraved regime on this planet, far more so than Israel on its own.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) December 8, 2023
A new Israelis study found that Israel is killing civilians in Gaza at a significantly higher rate than civilians were killed in the world wars of the 20th century.
Military analysts have said that the destruction in northern Gaza is comparable to the most aggressive World War II bombing campaigns in places like Dresden, Hamburg and Cologne.
United States officials were reportedly shocked when Israeli officials indicated they were preparing to inflict civilian casualties in Gaza that would be reminiscent of world war horrors, and then, in typical Israeli fashion, they went and did even worse.
Biden killing Ukraine peace negotiations and backing a genocide in Gaza are both worse than anything Donald Trump has ever done.
Israel apologists often cite the fact that the majority of Jews support Israel to substantiate their ridiculous position that opposition to Israel is anti-semitic, but that statistic is not actually morally relevant or logically interesting.
Any population that is sufficiently saturated with propaganda and indoctrination will wind up mostly supporting the thing they are being propagandized and indoctrinated into supporting; that is the purpose of propaganda and indoctrination.
The majority of westerners subscribe to the mainstream worldview which supports western imperialism for exactly the same reason - because they were propagandized and indoctrinated into that worldview. This does not mean western imperialism should not be ferociously opposed; it absolutely must be. Even if that puts you standing against the indoctrinated majority.
The funny thing about the claim that anti-Zionism is anti-semitism is that most Zionists are not even Jewish. The majority of them are Christians who hope all Jewish people go to Israel so that Jesus will return, then Jewish people get to either repent and convert to Christianity or go to hell.
What that means is, in a very real and quantifiable way, most Zionists are actual anti-semites.
It is so surreal to get called the worst thing in the world for opposing the worst thing in the world. You oppose children being murdered by the thousands in Gaza and you will get accused of harboring the same prejudices that led to the Holocaust. It makes you feel you are going mad.
The United States is sponsoring a relentless genocidal massacre that is killing, crippling and tormenting innocents in the most horrific ways imaginable, and Americans are being persuaded to focus instead on a completely fictional epidemic of genocidal rhetoric against Jews at universities.
And I do mean completely fictional - nothing of the sort is happening. It is like pointing to a clip of Darth Vader destroying a planet in Star Wars to distract from the actual real life atrocities in Gaza.
The fake epidemic of genocidal chants on campus reminds me of the fake epidemic of Russian propaganda, when "Russian propaganda" was defined as "any criticism of United States foreign policy". Falsely define common pro-Palestine chants as calls to genocide Jews and you can then declare an epidemic of genocidal rhetoric.
Saying intifada, that is a call for genocide.
Saying from the river to the sea, that is a call for genocide.
Saying free Palestine, that is a call for genocide.
Saying stop committing genocide, ooh you better believe that is a call for genocide.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) December 8, 2023
It goes like this:
Step 1: Arbitrarily declare that common innocuous pro-Palestine chants are actually calls for genocide.
Step 2: Pretend there is an emergency epidemic of university students calling for genocide on campus because they use those chants.
Step 3: Kill pro-Palestine speech on campus.
Just spitballing here but maybe the most efficient way to prevent western youth from becoming radicalized against Israel is not to censor the internet and kill free speech at universities but to make Israel stop murdering thousands of innocent people!
