Turns Out "Israel Has A Right To Defend Itself" Meant "Israel Has A Right To Commit Genocide" by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Turns out "Israel has a right to defend itself" actually meant "Israel has a right to commit genocide, and no other countries have a right to stop it."
Axios has a ridiculous new article out citing multiple anonymous United States officials titled "Biden "running out" of patience with Bibi as Gaza war hits 100 days". The Biden administration keeps leaking to the press trying to put separation between their guy and the genocide in Gaza, and they are so fulla shit. Biden has had the ability to end this mass atrocity since day one. The slaughter continues because Biden wants it to. He owns this.
Netanyahu delivered a speech commemorating 100 days of Israels war on babies and journalists and hospitals and residential buildings saying "We will restore security to both the south and the north. Nobody will stop us - not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anybody else."
If I was standing on the right side of history, I do not think the side I was standing with would be saying that not even The Hague can stop them from killing everyone they want to kill.
Turns out "Israel has a right to defend itself" actually meant "Israel has a right to commit genocide, and no other countries have a right to stop it."
Yeah yeah. The hospitals are Hamas, the ambulances are Hamas, the UN buildings are Hamas, South Africa is Hamas. Everyone we do not like is Hamas.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) January 12, 2024
We have been seeing reports of Israeli sniper drones shooting and killing people in Gaza, which is probably a good time to note that Gaza has long been a live laboratory for the military industrial complex. Data is with absolute certainty being collected on all the newer weapons being field-tested on human bodies there - just like has been happening in Ukraine and in Africa - and that data will be used for the benefit of the war machine and the arms industry.
It is so dopey how Israel apologists will yell at you if you criticize Israeli criminality without mentioning Hamas and October 7. Literally everyone knows about Hamas and October 7. Literally everyone acknowledges that Hamas attacked Israelis out of hostility to the state of Israel. Everyone, including Hamas and its most enthusiastic supporters, fully acknowledge that this happened.
Meanwhile Israel and its supporters have adamantly denied the reality of what has been happening in Gaza since October 7. The western press have been wildly biased in favor of Israel and have been guilty of mountains of journalistic malpractice with their pathetic coverage of the ongoing Gaza massacre. The majority of westerners are still ignorant of the extent to which Israel had been abusing and killing Palestinians prior to October 7.
It is therefore necessary to talk about these things to spread awareness and counteract the propaganda and distortion, and it is not necessary to continually mention Hamas and October 7 while doing so.
Literally everyone acknowledges the occurrence of the October 7 attack, while a vast percentage of the population is either uninformed or actively lying about the occurrence of all Israeli crimes from the Nakba on. Only one of these two things requires more emphasis.
Get ready for the western press to greatly increase its use of the phrase "Iranian-backed Houthis" while still never using the phrase "United States-backed Israelis".-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) January 12, 2024
Israel demanding that everyone condemn the Hamas attack is like a bunch of thugs punching a man in the face over and over and then demanding that everyone condemn him for hurting their hands. The Hamas attack was the natural result of Israels abuses upon the Palestinian people!!!
In the mind of the empire simp, the violence of the empires enemies always comes completely out of nowhere, without provocation and for no reason.
Ansarallah started attacking ships in the Red Sea because they are pirates who hate freedom of navigation.
Hamas attacked Israel because they are evil and hate Jews.
President Putin invaded Ukraine because he is evil and hates democracy.
Grown adults portray the enemies of the empire the same way the childrens cartoon show Captain Planet portrayed its villains, cackling evilly about how they are going to dump toxic waste into the ocean for no reason other than to hurt the environment.
I have honestly never gotten used to being called an anti-semite, even after three months of getting it nonstop. It has never stopped being shocking to me that someone would accuse me of harboring the same prejudices which gave rise to the Holocaust in response to my criticisms of horrific mass atrocities backed by the most powerful empire the world has ever seen.
It is just absolutely deranged, despicable behavior, and I am consistently shocked to see grown adults behaving that way in public without the slightest hint of shame.
Mass media employees are every bit as psychopathic as the empire they administer propaganda for.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) January 12, 2024
Someone asked me if I have any advice for dealing with the anxiety which comes with discovering that the western empire is the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth, and that we have been lied to about this our entire lives.
The painful emotions which come up when we discover an uncomfortable truth are not problems which need to be dealt with, they are feelings which need to be felt. Let the grief, anguish, rage, shame, fear, or whatever it might be say everything it needs to say to you, in the same way you would let a beloved child tell you about their feelings and concerns. You would not push the child away or treat them like a problem, you would hear them out and give them a cuddle and let them know you care about them and that you will keep them safe. Once you have consciously felt a feeling all the way through and heard out everything it needs to say to you, its energy will dissipate.
Uncomfortable truths and uncomfortable feelings need to be met in the same way: head-on, with an open mind and an open heart.
Moving into a truth-based relationship with life means wanting to see everything: uncomfortable truths about the world, uncomfortable truths about ourselves, and uncomfortable feelings we have not been allowing full expression to.
It can be painful at times, even downright terrifying, but it is also the only path to health for both our species as a collective and ourselves as individuals!!
