Palestine Rising!

Rumble link Bitchute link FFWN post with links and information on E. Michael Jones’ “Dangers of Beauty” conference The world stands aghast as the genocidal Zionist entity lashes out in its death throes, inflicting pointless mayhem on the civilians of Palestine and the leadership of Iran. And a collective global reaction is setting in. The International Criminal Court is seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, the International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to withdraw from Rafah, and European countries are lining up to join the rest of the world in recognizing the state of Palestine. Could the rebirth of the nation of Palestine coincide with, and signify, a re-emergence of morality in world affairs? That would be no small change. As False Flag Weekly News co-host and Culture Wars editor Dr. E. Michael Jones notes, the rulers of the Anglo-Zionist Empire believe that “truth is the opinion of the powerful”—and hold the same view of morality. That view is not entirely unfounded, since those rulers have long enjoyed sufficient power to impose their versions of truth and morality on the world. If the Jewish-Protestant American empire is “a preacher with a gun,” as Dr. Jones says, it has been preaching lies at gunpoint at least since it sanctified and immortalized war propaganda in the form of the sacred Holocaust narrative after World War II. With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, the empire’s capacity to enshrine lies with force became virtually limitless. Truth and morality became, for all practical purposes, whatever the lying, immoral managers of empire said they were. Karl Rove famously mocked those who failed to notice this transition as “the reality-based community” and boasted (no doubt with a nod and a wink to the absurdity of the official story of 9/11) that “we create our own reality now.” (And our own morality with it, no doubt.) The Zionists have gone the furthest in calling lies truth, and morality whatever they can get away with. While planning and perpetrating genocide for more than a century, and inflicting the most sadistic, unspeakable, often strategically superfluous tortures on anyone who gets in their way, the Zionists have cast themselves as quintessential victims. That long-running ruse, however, has reached its expiration date. With the genocide of Gaza, the mask has come off. The psychopathic serial killer has been unveiled. Though the neocon Zionists still control the US empire, that empire no longer dominates the world the way it did just a decade ago. The Zionists have run it into the ground. By staging 9/11 as the PR launch for $7 trillion worth of criminal wars for Israel, the neocons hollowed out the US, rendering it morally as well as fiscally bankrupt, and diverting its attention from the economic rise of China, Russia, and other independent powers. So why will the emerging multipolar world coincide with a return to morality? Because human beings are moral creatures. Like many other animals only more so, humans have an innate moral sense and experience shock, outrage, and the need to take action when moral norms are violated. Those natural reactions can be temporarily suppressed under certain conditions, notably pathocratic tyranny. And that is what we have been living under: the “absolute power corrupts absolutely” regime of the self-styled unipolar hegemon. As it comes apart, global power will become a complex process of negotiation involving many stakeholders, who will regularly appeal to the moral sense of their negotiating partners and adversaries. Revenge for the Gaza Genocide: What Would Zionist-Style “Proportionality” Look Like? The need for negotiations based on shared commitment to win-win outcomes, informed by universal morality rather than tribal egotism, may be illustrated by considering the alternative: an endless cycle of vengeance featuring ever-more-lethal technologies. Specifically, how might this play out in the Zionism-versus-Palestine conflict? Prior to the October 7 al-Aqsa Storm raid, Israel had been steadily killing Palestinians, by the thousands, for decades. Palestinian retaliation had been relatively minor by comparison, inflicting less than 10% of the deaths and casualties on Israelis that the Zionists had inflicted on them. The Al-Aqsa Storm concentration camp breakout killed about 1100 Israelis, roughly half of whom were active military, police, or security. Israel responded by indiscriminately flattening most of Gaza. As I write, the official Gaza death toll is over 36,000, meaning bodies extracted from rubble and identified, while unofficial estimates of the total dead exceed 200,000. Virtually all the Gaza victims are civilians, two thirds being women and children. As a conservative estimate, Israel’s genocidal “retaliation” has killed 60 times as many civilians as died on October 7th (the majority of whom were probably killed by Israeli forces, not by Hamas). So if Palestine were to “retaliate” against Israel in the same way that Israel “retaliated” against Palestine, by raising the kill ratio by another 6000%, it would have to kill at least 2,160,000 Israelis. And while the October 7 al-Aqsa Storm attack damaged or destroyed a few dozen Israeli buildings, Israel has completely destroyed the majority of Gaza’s buildings—well over 150,000 in total. That yields a ratio of somewhere between 100,000 to 1 and 10,000 to 1. So for the Palestinians to “retaliate” in the same way the Israelis supposedly did, they would have to destroy at least 1.5 billion Israeli buildings, far more than exist. The only way to come close to inflicting that scale of retaliatory damage would be to raze Israel to the ground and then nuke every major Western city where Jews live. (Western Jews and their cities might be considered legitimate targets because the West props up Israel, the state of all Jews no matter where they were born.) (Traditional) Morality vs. the Revenge Cycle The global anti-genocide pro-Palestine protests raise the prospect of invoking morality to stop the endlessly escalating revenge cycle. The students behind the biggest campus protests since the Vietnam era have nothing to gain, and much to lose, by taking a stand against the psychopathic genocidal killers who rule their declining civilization. Yet despite brutal repression by billionaire-incited police and thugs, and threats that they “will never work in this town again,” the students keep protesting. Modern communications technology has allowed people to see things their rulers would prefer they didn’t, including war crimes happening on the other side of the world. Young people are beginning to care about what happens to far-away folks their grandparents wouldn’t have noticed. The 1948 Nakba (Palestinian holocaust) was little remarked at the time. Today’s Nakba 2, the genocide of Gaza, has galvanized the world’s attention, and national policies and international institutions are slowly—too slowly—swinging into action. What most of the students probably don’t realize is that universal morality arguably depends on particular spiritual and religious traditions. It is the decline of those traditions that has brought us a world of “anything goes,” a world in which the strong can limitlessly prey on the weak and veil their crimes with lies. The neocon-run Anglo-Zionist empire’s attempt to use “creative destruction” of religions, nations, and families to clear the way for one-world global tyranny has run up against the emerging multipolar world, each pole of which demands the right to its own historical and religious identity. Iran and Russia are the two leaders in regard, but it may not be long before Confucian China and the non-Axis-of-Resistance Muslim countries likewise rediscover their spiritual roots. (Western Christianity strikes me as too far gone, but E. Michael Jones would no doubt insist that with God’s permission anything is possible.) Will anti-genocide students follow the path blazed by people like E. Michael Jones, recog… This is a public episode.
