October 7 & the Plot to Prevent Peace – At All Costs: From a Single Senseless Slaughter to a Months-Long Genocidal Massacre, and the Multi-Headed Monster of Darkness Waging War Upon Humanity

"In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers." - Neville Chamberlain

“Sadistic people were allowed to rule; they provoked vengeance, a vicious cycle of violence, and war.” - Rose Marie Juan Austin, War is a Vicious Cycle

On October 7^th, 2023, when some 2,000 armed Hamas militants infiltrated into Israeli-controlled territory by land and air, killing some 1,200 Israelis and taking another 240 hostage, the world was horrified by this atrocity. This horror then served as the backdrop to, and the senseless slaughter the 'justification' for, the subsequent invasion of and relentless war on the besieged Gaza Strip by the Israeli war machine under the pretense of rescuing the hostages and dealing a militarily crushing defeat to Hamas – once and for all.

Now, 300 days-and-counting into Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, and the whole world is again looking on in horror, wondering when this madness will come to an end and at least some semblance of peace will return to the region. With over 40,000 Palestinians killed in the onslaught – roughly half of those children – since the beginning of Israel's declaration of war on Gaza, another 10,000 or more missing (likely buried under the rubble), 100% of the 2.3 million residents of the famine-stricken enclave displaced, and over half of the Strip's infrastructure now decimated, the Gaza Strip not only lies in complete ruins but also showcases one of the most prominent, most pronounced and most shockingly horrifying examples of human-caused human suffering on the planet today. The actual death toll resulting from this onslaught is almost certainly higher, as not all deaths have been reported due to the breakdown of Gazan infrastructure and society, and is ever rising with each passing day, with an additional 90,000+ injured, and no real way to calculate the true scope of the lasting negative repercussions of such massive scale human suffering and the associated intense collective trauma being experienced here.

Nor do these numbers take into account the inherent nature of armed conflicts to cause more indirect deaths than direct deaths, with a Lancet report published in July stating that “it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.”

This estimate suggests that the war has thus far claimed the lives of 7-8% of the entire population of Gaza, which was already prior to the war suffering in “unlivable” conditions, trapped within an open-air prison – ruled by the ‘iron fist’ of Hamas from within and under brutal military siege by land, air and sea from without. Approximately 80% of its water is undrinkable, its power and much-needed humanitarian aid severely rationed and at times throughout the war denied altogether, its children suffering from PTSD; the entire 2.3 million population ravaged by severe food and medical supply shortages, with some 70% of the population food-insecure, half of the population starving, and unemployment rates run rampant.

Not surprisingly, this severe humanitarian crisis and the plight of the besieged Gazans has been largely ignored by the whole world – at least until now. Now, as the whole world looks on in horror, wondering why, this many months into such a reckless war of destruction, a ceasefire agreement has yet to be reached, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly appears to be doing absolutely everything in his power to ensure that peace does not disrupt his endless, unwinnable war – the one thing preventing his fall from political power - as Bibi's wars always seem to do.

But this tragic story of human suffering is about far more than one man’s desperate bid to cling to political power at all costs, or the large-scale terrorist attack that shook the soul of Israel and triggered a genocidal war. It is the story of an ancient war being bitterly fought still today in a land of two peoples who desperately seek peace, a war that is also raging within the collective heart, mind and soul of all Mankind; the story of Israel, the story of Palestine, the story of me, the story of you, and the story of all humanity.

Of Peace and War: The underlying deception dividing humanity & the truth that will set us free

“Doesn't anybody understand that killing in the name of God only makes him a murderer?” - Jose Saramego

Upon reading the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court’s report that was issued following in-depth investigations of suspected war crimes carried out by both parties during this war – which charges three Hamas leaders along with Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant with a slew of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and aligns with all of the available evidence we have about this conflict – it becomes glaringly obvious that the world is here dealing with two military forces, both of which are responsible for intentionally and repeatedly engaging in unconscionable war crimes and crimes against humanity in clear contravention of international law and every moral standard we in ‘civilized’ society claim to hold dear.

Two dark monsters if you will, these militant entities are, one much bigger and stronger than the other; both of which resort to committing heinous criminal atrocities and justifying their crimes because the other monster also does the same; both pointing to the other as the true monster and themselves as the hero of the day and God's instrument for justice; both dismissing the charges laid against them and the filing for their arrest warrants as outlandish; both pointing to the other's crimes as the truly heinous acts that should be punished, and their own crimes as ‘justice’ and ‘the work of God’. This is but the very nature of those lost in the maze of darkness cast upon this earth, to see the splinter in one's neighbor's eye while failing to recognize the massive beam in one's own, just as Jesus taught.

“The first casualty when war comes is truth.”

Truth is the first casualty in every war, as the saying goes; and so it is true, as columnist Malcolm W. Bingayand wrote in 1950, that, “There never was a war that was not started by falsehood.” Perhaps this is because at the root of every war lies the ultimate falsehood that asserts war is capable of ending war, and that violence has the power to put an end to violence. This falsehood underlies the whole complex web of deception underpinning this tragic conflict, and the lie that war can somehow ever bring about an end to this particular decades-long conflict - nay, going back millennia in fact - is promulgated by the propagandists of the respective militant forces on either side of this seemingly endless conflict. It cannot; it never has, and it never will; the leaders of both militant factions involved here well know this fact, a self-evident truth that has been acknowledged by commentators, activists and analysts the world over. Only those who have no real understanding of the history of this conflict, or those lying to your face to advance the agenda of those who do want endless war, would dare to argue otherwise.

This reality is particularly evident in regards to this conflict, but it is a universal truth; and as the ‘war to end all wars’ - as the first world war was so called - far from achieving this aim, in fact did just the opposite, ushering in a century of bloody global war and demonstrating for all to see the utter futility of waging violent war in the name achieving world peace.

Arising out of this universal falsehood is the lie that there are only two sides in this conflict – Israel, its government and the Israeli war machine; and Gaza/Palestine, Hamas and its military allies in the region – upon which is then built the lie that one side is inherently ‘good’, the other side inherently ‘evil’; and we the people of the earth must pick between the two, and throw our support behind one or the other, lest we be labeled a sympathizer or pawn of the ‘enemy’. The true pawns of the enemy of humanity, however, are those peddling this deceptive propaganda which justifies and perpetuates the very violence perpetrated upon humanity in the name of protecting and liberating humanity from that very same violence.

From this false dichotomy is then born the lie propagated throughout Israel and the West that Israel, and thus by extension the Israeli war machine, is THE force of Good, indeed of God, in the region; and anyone who opposes it, its war crimes and its abhorrent actions are but nasty terrorist sympathizers or propaganda tools of the so-called 'axis of evil' – Iran's “useful idiots,” as Netanyahu himself recently described thousands of American demonstrators across the country protesting his murderous Gaza war campaign.

Central to the whole deception are the thought constructs underlying the prevalent ideology still anchored on the earth that absurdly believes in the oxymoronic idea of ‘altruistic evil’ or ‘righteous violence’, which gave birth to the concept of a ‘just war’. This ideology is best summarized by the commonly held belief among so many, that “The ends justifies the means,” and at all costs, no less; even in the face of centuries of repeating cycles of history clearly indicating that such means never do actually achieve the ostensibly desired ends. Here, the desired ends being justice, peace and freedom; the means being injustice, violence and tyranny of every kind; and the actual end, the practical results of this ideology being the endless perpetuation of war, violence, and injustice of every kind.

That the publicly stated desired ends are most often not in fact the actual desired ends of those forces on high responsible for waging and perpetuating the wars should be self-evident; but in order to drum up the necessary support and consent for war, the warmongers must convince their respective populations that the desired war is in fact being waged with the intention of bringing the people the desired end which humanity seeks. For, it must be pointed out, humanity, unlike the dark forces seeking to enslave her, universally seeks peace, not endless war.

Most people among the ranks of the minority of humans who actually do truly want war deep in their hearts are but pawns of the darkness, themselves unfortunate slaves and victims of the darkness, having succumbed to the mind control techniques of their masters. In time, we must and so we will learn to forgive even these, “for they know not what they do.” The rest who are actively and knowingly colluding with the dark forces controlling the planet, and who themselves are knowingly a part of the upper ranks of these dark forces, are so small in number so as to be entirely irrelavent in terms of power without the consent and support of their mindless minions. These ones who have fully and completely ‘sold their souls to the devil’ as it were, are not even the 1% of humanity, but rather only the 0.1% of the 1% of humanity; and so it is that, when humanity rises up as one in opposition to this madness, their order will certainly fall, and it could be no other way.

So we can see that war is of necessity always waged by deception, that truth must be the first casualty in order for any war to be declared; and the deceptions that follow in the wake of the decision to go to war are bound to be many indeed, growing up and out like branches from the root deception out of which all war is spawned. And while the branches of deception may be cut off one by one, leaving the trunk bare or even chopped down at the base; until this violent tree of darkness is plucked up by the roots, new shoots and branches will grow back from the source; and deception spawning war again will flood our streets with blood.

But once one finally sees war for what it truly is, the deception spewed by propagandists for the planet’s war machines lose all power it once did have; for that once seen can never be unseen, and lies no longer hold their sway once truth stands in their way. At the heart of every war then, is a battle between truth and falsehood; and peace can never make her home on earth until first truth does arise and take her stand. And while this truth is simple at its heart, it is also multi-faceted, and its many facets must be seen, if deception and the violence it breeds is ever going to die. The truth that slays the murderous lies must shine from sea to sea, until it covers the earth so fully that war itself is suffocated by the mighty waters of truth and love, drowning every last deception that did once give war its life.

Although the fine details of the deceptions spawning war may vary down through time, the truth that shall bring humanity peace remains eternally the same. So we can see that the words of truth delivered to Americans by the wife of British politician Philip Snowden, Ethel Annakin, during the ‘Great War’ in 1915, are just as true today as they were then during that first world war, and perhaps more glaringly obvious in the Gaza war than during any war before.

Someone has finely said that “truth is the first casualty in war”; and never was a greater untruth spoken than that war is waged for the protection of women and homes.

For far too long, humanity has been blinded by the delusion that violence and war and injustice of every kind - when perpetrated by ‘God’s chosen people’ against the outsiders called the enemy, the ‘evil ones’ deemed the ‘devil’s armies’ - is somehow a just and righteous cause; when the only real choice before us all is whether in our hearts we worship the one true universal “God of peace,” or the false gods of war spawning darkness on the earth in the name of light. Whether one worships the Christian God, the Jewish God, the Muslim God, or any other God including the godless State; the only choice of consequence that ever lies before humanity is whether one is guided by the voice of fear or voice of love, whether one joins the ranks of the Prince of Peace or the Prince of Darkness now seeking to enslave us all. All else is but smoke and mirrors cast by the Dark Side in this sick and twisted game of domination they do play.

Truth be told, war itself and the dark forces perpetuating war upon the planet are humanity's greatest existential threat and true enemy, not Iran nor Islam nor Hamas, whose violence is only further fueled by the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands seized in 1967 and its hard-line stance opposing the creation of a two-state solution. In reality there are indeed only two sides in this conflict, however they are neither the rulers of Israel nor the rulers of Gaza; but rather humanity being ravaged by the evils of war, and the forces of darkness responsible for perpetuating this war and thus preventing peace and a cessation of this needlessly prolonged human suffering.

In order for humanity to free herself from these dark forces controlling the planet through perpetual war and oppression, and thus finally see peace, we must first understand how the Dark Side operates, for the darkness has only a limited number of tools and strategies at its disposal. But until we can clearly recognize these, we are bound to be led astray, for the Dark Side is ever so sly and crafty indeed. It is just as the old saying goes, ‘the devil comes clothed as an angel of light,’ as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, as a venomous snake disguised at first as a harmless dove.

‘Know thy enemy’: Acquainting ourselves with the Dark Side’s limited arsenal of weaponry

In stark contrast to the power of light and love, the forces of darkness, having cut themselves off from the only one universal source of all all life and power - the love and light flowing through all life that binds all living beings together as one cosmic family - have only one means of gaining and increasing their power; and that is through the theft of the life energy of other beings, the stealing of their light. And just as Jesus taught, when he said, “You are the light of the world,” so it is that humanity, one and all, is the light of this world here on Planet Earth. The darkness upon this earth, then, can only survive by enslaving human beings and thus feeding off their energy; with the only endgame for these dark forces controlling the planet being the complete and total enslavement of humanity. So it is that anyone, anywhere, anytime, who seeks to violate the free will of another in any way, shape or form, is at best but a pawn for the Dark Side in its global chess game being played for total domination over the earth.

Furthermore, there are only four underlying strategies by which the darkness operates to achieve this single overarching goal, under which every plot and scheme it hatches, and every plan and maneuver it makes will thus fall under. These are:

1. First and foremost, the weaponization of fear, fear being the Dark Side’s most powerful and primary tool; and it is here in the weaponization of fear where deception is also heavily and most blatantly deployed.

2. Secondly, the creating of hierarchies of control, most often pyramid-structured by design, seen widely across the planet in various religious, societal, political, military, and government constructs and systems whereby the few self-appointed authorities at the top influence, rule over and control the masses at the bottom. It is here where the classic ‘divide and conquer’ strategies are employed to divide humanity against itself in order that their subjugation by the controllers is made a more feasible task. This is the strategy by which the highly polarizing ‘Us vs. Them’ mentalities are bred and disseminated, which would hardly be successful if at first humanity was not severely dazed and weakened through the weaponization of fear being used against her.

3. Thirdly, the manipulation of light is a key strategy aimed at weakening and subverting the higher goals and intentions of stronger souls who have resisted the more blatant attacks of the enemy and are now finally treading upon the path of light and love, the positive path of service to others; having at last risen out of the prison of fear, having moved through the energies of anger, desire, and pride to dwell at least at the level of courage, which acts as the energetic bridge between the positive path of love/light and the negative path of fear/darkness. It does so through the weaponization of wisdom and the intellect against humanity, manipulating the powerful energy of reason and using the naivety of well-intentioned, less-advanced light beings against them, with the aim of pulling them right back into the darkness; and in too many cases with great success. It does this primarily through understanding the workings of the human psyche better than most humans know themselves, and then weaponizing the human mind, the intellect; with the aim of keeping the targets disconnected from their heart, their intuition; a connection which, if at all strengthened, is a sure defense against this wide-scale manipulation seen in play across the planet.

4. The last primary strategy used by the dark forces in their bid to enslave the planet is the manipulation of the weaknesses of any and all those firmly treading upon the path of light, who are thus naturally resistant to the first three tactics. They carry out this strategy by playing on the weaknesses of anyone whose consciousness is not yet 100% rooted in unconditional love, which is the vast majority of us - anyone who is not yet fully liberated from the last vestiges of fear, anyone who is not yet absolutely, totally, 100% fearless. For, as it has been written, “Perfect love casts out all fear.”

   Until we reach the point at which we are totally fearless and have nothing but love in our hearts for all beings, even those who have made themselves our enemies, we are susceptible to this last and final strategy of those fighting tooth and nail to prevent the dawning of the new age of light and love now fast approaching, which will topple the global empire of lies by which for so long they have controlled the planet; perpetuating war and feeding off of the innocent souls of humanity in every way they can. This could come in the way of threats to one’s life or those they love, blackmail attempts where previous misdeeds are leveraged against the target, threats to one’s job or financial security, and the like. On the other hand, they can also be much more subtle and come in the form of unseen spiritual and energetic attacks, the manifestations of which could be seen in sickness or disease, old negative thought patterns the target’s mind is not fully liberated from appearing to ‘come out of nowhere’ with a vengeance to torment them with great fury, and other such things.

For a deeper discussion of these four strategies and real-world examples, see also the following video on the subject linked below, by spiritual teacher Aaron Abke:

At the deepest level, these dark forces at play upon the planet are composed of the fear, anger, hatred, deception, pride and greed in the heart of Man which compels humanity to continue marching on along its current path of delusion, perpetuating this fruitless cycle of endless violence and ultimately the violent destruction of its very own self, which is so pronounced in the Gaza war. And, being that the external world is always but a reflection of the inner state of humanity, these dark forces materialize upon the planet as religious, societal, political, corporate, governmental and military systems which are in effect but cults of death and human slavery - the hierarchies of planetary control.

The psychopathic figureheads seen running these corrupt systems mirror the deep darkness still lodged within the hearts and minds of the people of the earth, as do their ardent followers who are themselves but pawns of these dark forces and products of the mind control of these same corrupt systems and institutions. The endless wars and oppression these death cults ignite, fuel and perpetuate upon a suffering humanity are both humanity's enemy and simultaneously but a symptom of the darkness yet to be fully rooted out of the human collective consciousness.

Of darkness and of light - the nature of power vs. force, the key to humanity’s freedom

The darkness poisoning the hearts of humanity along with the world systems this darkness has spawned serve to hold humanity in a perpetual dis-empowered state of fear, division and confusion; the face of Zionism representing but one head of a much more expansive monster, Hamas but another, and this monstrous construct of slaughter a primary means by which the dark forces controlling this planet perpetually feed upon the energy of the human race to maintain their limited power. The sacrifice of the innocent has long been practiced by the Dark Side, which gains power by energetically feeding off of the blood of the innocent being offered up, and in war their alters are the battlefields of the world.

But we must remember, as the astute American revolutionary Malcolm X pointed out, this enemy and oppressor of humanity is not localized to one place or another, but is largely composed of the entire institutionalized imperial western power structure of control currently dominating vast portions of the planet and widely oppressing humanity in more ways than can ever be enumerated.

In every war, there must be two factions warring against one another, each ultimately and often unknowingly serving the highest order of the dark forces oppressing our planet, which both orchestrate the war and then feed off of the inherent darkness of the resulting bloodshed and the fear it perpetuates, ever fueling both 'sides' of the conflict, responsible for perpetuating this paradigm of endless bloodshed. That there are indeed other militant factions and dark constructs of control operating upon the planet and acting as a counter-force to this western leviathon should be self-evident, however their contribution to the darkness on the earth and role in the enslavement of humanity are outside the scope of this piece.

As humanity continues to awaken out of fear and into love, out of this oppressive darkness which has plagued the planet and ravaged humanity for millennia and into the light of life that will bring humanity the peace and freedom she so yearns for, many millions of us human souls across the planet have begun to awaken to the true nature of the current state of world affairs, its power structures, and the underlying determinants of all human behavior – which, at the end of the day, arise from one of only two sources: Power, associated with love, light and the truth of the unity, oneness, and inter-connectedness of all life; or Force, associated with fear, darkness, and the falsehood which denies the inherent unity, oneness, and inter-connectedness of all life.

The path of light and life, the positive path of service to others which is also the path of love and produces peace, joy and freedom, is inherently empowering; whereas the path of darkness, the path of fear, the negative path of service to self which produces chaos, confusion, conflict and ultimately death, is inherently dis-empowering, though it still fuels and thus in this way empowers the darkness. Force is the only real power the darkness has, and fear its greatest weapon; but force is highly divisive and thus incredibly weakening, always creating counter-force. So it is that violence can and will only ever perpetuate more violence and is utterly incapable of ever bringing about peace; whereas true power, arising from within as opposed to being gained through the theft of the energy of another, has no enemies and is thus unifying, liberating, and the source of true peace.

At the most foundational level, the difference between power and force is that power arises in a being out of the recognition of the truth of the oneness of life'; and force from the belief in separation, which is but a denial of this most fundamental truth of life and thus a falsehood and a denial of the essence of life itself; just as darkness is but an absence of light, and fear the absence of love, unconditional love being the ultimate expression or emanation of that divine truth which is the unity of All That Is.

At its heart, the great awakening humanity is now experiencing across the planet is an awakening into the realization and awareness of the truth of the inherent unity and oneness of the universe and the underlying inter-connectedness of all life - on an energetic and spiritual level - a reality which the field of quantum mechanics has in recent decades demonstrated scientifically, but which all of the great spiritual teachers, saints, mystics and masters down through the ages have always known and taught us all along.

As Albert Einstein himself put it amid the first of these great paradigm-shifting scientific discoveries:

A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in space and time. He experiences himself, his thoughts and his feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature.

The belief in separation, the denial of this reality of the oneness of life, then, is the ultimate source of all human problems and the greatest falsehood of them all, the taproot of deception from which all of the other falsehoods sold to humanity in order to perpetuate war and darkness of every other kind arise.

This, at its core, is the fundamental difference between the old fear-based paradigm of perpetual division, endless war and the systematic oppression of humanity under which the world has been operating for countless centuries; and the new, incredibly empowering paradigm of love, unity and peace that awakening humanity is ever reaching for and moving towards, one step at a time. This massive global shift we here on Planet Earth are presently experiencing is fundamentally a massive shift 'upwards' in our state of collective consciousness – out of the insanity of the prison of separation we now find ourselves in, that threatens to annihilate the human race if we should be so unfortunate to be cast into a nuclear world war for example; and into the welcomed sanity of reason, love and truth that would usher in the realization of humanity's deepest desire for “peace on earth and goodwill towards all men.”

Only an insane mind would cheer the mass slaughter of civilians by Hamas on October 7, as if such a violent act of terror actually dealt a blow to the dark forces responsible for the equally repugnant decades-long systematic subjugation, oppression and violent mistreatment of the Palestinian people leading to such desperate acts by such a desperate people.

At the same time, only an insane mind could possibly continue to blindly support the demonstrably destructive, counter-productive and genocidal Zionist assault on the besieged and now decimated Gaza Strip, so many months into this senseless human tragedy. But insanity is the name of the game in this world ruled by insanity in which we find ourselves currently living, operating under the insane old paradigm of divisive darkness with which we are all so well acquainted. Humanity's highest present purpose and struggle must be to free ourselves from this old paradigm of oppression we have been subject to for so many centuries, as we begin to step into the new and empowering paradigm of love, unity and peace that is presently being birthed; even as the darkness appears to be reaching a kind of culmination in its outward expression while simultaneously beginning to destroy itself, its constructs now fast collapsing under the weight of its own corruption, division and deception.

It is a simple matter - for those of us who have transcended the highly polarizing, all-or-nothing 'Us vs. Them' mentality still dominating the minds of large swaths of humanity - to see that, just as the October 7 Hamas attack was clearly a grave injustice and in no way an expression of a desire for peace, neither is the resulting Israeli war on Gaza, complete with its systematic, indiscriminate murder of children and civilians, in any way an acceptable response for the supposedly “most moral army on earth,” nor even remotely a reflection of justice nor a desire for peace either.

As Dr. David Hawkins, author of the groundbreaking work, Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, explains: “Once a principle is breached, its mutated form propagated like cancer.” So it is that, “A society that supports killing, whether in war,” or by any other means, “cannot at the same time effectively stop 'criminal' killing,” as history illuminates so clearly. “To kill is to kill is to kill; there is no escaping that matter,” Hawkins adds.

Countless emotionally appealing constructs have been built to justify exceptions to murder, as fundamentalist religious extremists, governments, and empires of all colors and creeds have done throughout history; and this sickness in the consciousness of Mankind persists to this day, perhaps seen more clearly in this particular conflict than anywhere else on the world stage. “To the murderer,” Hawkins notes, “the killing of the victim is also a justifiable exception” to the universal principle that would at last begin to bring this broken world peace – “Thou shalt not kill.” And herein lies the crux of the entire problem seen playing out in Israel-Palestine today.

“Whether or not to kill other human beings may be a moral dilemma at lower levels of consciousness; at higher levels the question is ridiculous and not even conceivable.”

Let us seek to rise to these higher levels, and to aid our brothers and sisters of humanity in this rise; indeed, as many have noted, our very survival as a species on the earth now very much depends upon it, as the cancer we see spreading is eating humanity from the inside out.

No justice, no peace, as the slaughter rages on

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." - Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963.

The people of the earth desperately want peace, as do the Palestinians, while at the same time there can be no peace without justice; and yet neither justice nor peace seem to be anywhere within sight in the land of Palestine, especially following recently unfolding events that only serve to widen and deepen this increasingly regional war.

Amid increased pressure for a ceasefire agreement by some US authorities, these very same US authorities hypocritically continue to voice unconditional support for Israel's war while simultaneously supplying it with the weapons needed to perpetuate this grievous assault upon humanity indefinitely. President Biden may give lip service to peace at times, painting himself as attempting to pressure Israel into a ceasefire while simultaneously reaffirming his staunch support for the regime responsible for waging the war in the first place, but talk is cheap and still the weapons shipments flow from here to there; the disastrous results of such policy impossible not to see.

Two weeks ago on early Saturday morning, Israeli forces yet again targeted another school housing Palestinian refugees in what locals described as a “horrific slaughter,” missiles striking the makeshift prayer hall during early morning prayers, murdering some 100 displaced refugees, including at least 11 children and six women, with dozens more injured. It is no wonder the world is horrified and humanity increasingly standing up in opposition to the insanity this war has become, with massacres such as these the very reason why the indicted Netanyahu is facing possible arrest on behalf of the Hague for the war crime charges filed by the ICC earlier this year.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) can scream that the school was being used as a Hamas “command and control center” all they like, and that some 20 Hamas fighters were killed in the airstrikes and no one else, but it is plain for all to see that this is simply not true – as a brief look at the photo/video evidence and the voices of the eyewitnesses present would clearly indicate. If the absurd Israeli claim that practically every airstrike and bombing it carries out in Gaza precisely targets Hamas headquarters', outposts & depots were true, then with well over half of the Strip's infrastructure destroyed and over 40,000 killed – given Hamas' military wing was an estimated 27,000 strong before its deadly October 7 attack – then Hamas and its weapons depots should surely be in utter ruins, if not entirely eradicated by now. Yet somehow Israel has failed to achieve any of its stated military objectives in this war, while Hamas on the other hand now appears stronger than ever and has somehow managed to retain de-facto control of the majority of the besieged enclave, clearly neither destroyed nor disarmed; no doubt in large part due to its extensive underground tunnel systems which offer some protection from the enemy's airstrikes.

Just days after the above-mentioned massacre widely condemned by world leaders globally, on August 14, an Israeli precision missile strike targeted a civilian apartment, murdering a mother and her two newborn twin babies, while the father was out of the house at the local health ministry receiving their birth certificates. They were among 23 Palestinians killed in the area during airstrikes carried out at the time. What the mainstream media failed to report, however, was that the murdered mother had been posting to social media, documenting and exposing Israeli snipers targeting children.

That this strike targeted the apartment specifically to silence her is indeed quite possible, even likely. Photo evidence reveals the precision nature of the airstrike, ruling out the possibility this was accidental, while the advanced targeting technology which Israel has, ensures they know exactly how many women and children are in any and all buildings they target before striking. IDF frequently boasts of their precision capabilities when it suites their narrative, and a 17-year US Army Intelligence veteran speaking out on this murderous war campaign confirms the same.

The dehumanizing, even genocidal statements of Israeli leaders and others throughout the war which are documented at some length below – combined with the testimony of defecting Israeli soldiers disgusted by the savagery of the war campaign and inhumanity of its military commanders – betray the true intentions of this relentless Israeli bombardment of the besieged civilian population of Gaza which has left the Strip in utter ruins; the whole of its people displaced, ravaged by famine and disease. Neither are these conditions accidental, but rather the direct result of an Israeli policy designed to punish an entire civilian population for the crimes of Hamas, also confirmed by the statements of its own leaders; out of sheer hatred of Palestinians it would seem, and certainly also as part of a longstanding plan to ethnically cleanse, forcibly displace, and then occupy and settle the Gaza Strip - a plan that is now being accomplished at an increasingly rapid rate in the occupied West Bank. Not to mention also being, obviously, for many of the soldiers involved carrying out this war campaign, an expression of Israel’s collective anger over its own humiliating failure to both prevent the October 7 Hamas operation and to even come close to destroying Hamas after 10 long months of futile war.

But are these failures truly failures in the sense we might imagine, or are they part of a far more sinister plot, a grand failure by design, part of a Zionist conspiracy to sabotage peace that goes back decades, and which could never have been accomplished without the help of Hamas? Indeed, red flags abound, as we shall see, as we dive into the history that led humanity to this key moment in time.

Hamas 'Surprise' Attack no Surprise at all, the 'Netanyahu-Hamas Alliance’ that led to this war, and the birth of the two-headed monster here preventing peace – at all costs

Violence is a disease. You don't cure it by spreading it to more people. - Mahatma Ghandi

A monster is born: Israel first creates Hamas

“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, former Israeli religious affairs official involved in Gaza for over 20 years, explained to the Wall Street Journal in 2009.

Hamas, for whatever purposes it was originally spawned by Israel to accomplish, is, nevertheless, to some degree or another, “a creature of Israel,” to quote the late Fatah/PLO leader Yasser Arafat; in much the same way as ISIS and the smorgasbord of allied fundamentalist Islamic Jihadist US-proxy militants in Syria – armed, trained and deployed by the US to overthrow President Bashar Assad's secular Syrian government – were but a creature of the CIA and its Operation Timber Sycamore; the primary difference being that Israel never directly armed Hamas or its progenitor. It did, however, intentionally permit the Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood-inspired group to arm itself, as it was a bitter enemy of the secular Palestinian Liberation Organization which Israel at the time viewed as its primary Palestinian enemy and a major threat to the Zionist plan to forever prevent the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. So it is that, in much the same way the Afghanistan Taliban is also a CIA creation that in time created serious blowback, so too is Israel responsible for creating, protecting and empowering the entity as it transformed itself into the extremist militant powerhouse the world now knows as Hamas.

In a 1994 book, “The Other Side of Deception,” Mossad whistleblower Victor Ostrovsky contended that aiding Hamas meshed with “Mossad’s general plan” for an Arab world “run by fundamentalists” that would reject “any negotiations with the West,” thereby leaving Israel as “the only democratic, rational country in the region.”

The plan worked brilliantly, perhaps better than anyone at the time could have imagined, or at least in ways that were surely unforeseen and perhaps quite unintended. Nevertheless, at the same time, despite serving to advance the agenda of empowering and enlarging the militant Islamic fundamentalist movement among Palestinians – which was at the time nonexistent in the land of Palestine – would in turn also eventually serve to fuel and empower the equally radical fundamentalist Jewish Zionist settler movement and its own plans to foment terror in the region, consisting of literal terrorist groups, as deemed by Israel itself in those years. This would, ironically, throughout the following years in turn also destroy all prospects for and the last vestiges of a free and democratic Israel which had been a key component of the above stated Mossad plan.

It all began in the wake of the Israeli seizure and subsequent illegal occupation of Palestinian lands in 1967 in the wake of the 6-Days war, including the Gaza Strip. Before then, Egypt, which had outlawed and brutally suppressed the extremist Islamic Jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, had been in control of the Gaza Strip. But with the transfer of government control from Egypt to Israel, Muslim Brotherhood inspired radicals now began to appear, and, thanks to Israeli policy, grow and flourish.

They were, after all, seen as a counterbalance to the secular PLO which was engaged in an ongoing campaign of violence against the Israeli occupation forces at the time and into the early 1990s. One of these new leaders was a paraplegic by the name of Sheik Yassin, "who formed the Islamist group Mujama al-Islamiya, which was officially recognized by Israel as a charity and then, in 1979, as an association." In the 1980s, Mujama would officially become Hamas, but it followed in the style of the militant Muslim Brotherhood from the get go; and it wasn't long before Yassin began collecting arms. Israel was tipped off, arresting and sentencing him to 11 years in prison; but then, upon assurances he wouldn't be using the weapons against Israeli forces but only in its fight against the PLO, he was released, and from that point onward Israel knowingly permitted the group to operate freely in the Strip while arming itself and growing its ranks of Muslim extremists.

This little known history of Israel's crucial role in the rise of Hamas has also been documented by the Washington Post – How Israel helped create Hamas.

“That the Israelis helped turn a bunch of fringe Palestinian Islamists in the late 1970s into one of the world’s most notorious militant groups” has by now been well-established, though the eventual results of the policies that served to put Hamas into power in Palestine – seen playing out on the world stage today – may not have been quite the intention the humans behind these policies giving rise to Hamas originally had in mind. For the dark forces which these men served, however, it was surely the intention all along.

Be that as it may, once Hamas transformed from being a Zionist “collaborator” warring against Fatah and the PLO, into Israel's apparent arch-enemy now sworn to its complete and total destruction since its charter came into being in 1988, it has remained indispensable to the Zionist Israeli plan to perpetuate endless war, keep the Palestinians divided and oppressed, and ultimately to ethnically cleanse and forcibly displace the Palestinian population from the whole historic land of Palestine. This is seen not only in official government decisions, but also the choices made by the radical fundamentalist Jewish Zionists, whose actions have also served as a giant gift to Hamas, directly fueling its rise to prominence and power within the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice, thereby greatly tarnishing the Palestinian name in the world's eyes; all the while actively preventing the realization of peace for the very people it pretends to be fighting for - a people who desire peace just as much as the rest of us do.

Killing in the name of God: The rise of the Jewish extremists who eventually took over Israel

Meanwhile, as Yassin was gathering weapons, soldiers, influence and power in occupied Gaza, creating the fundamentalist militant movement that would soon be Hamas; a similar phenomenon was also occurring in the occupied West Bank, but here it was the founders of a fundamentalist movement of militant Jews which was at work. Following the Israeli seizure and occupation of the West Bank in 1967, an equally extremist, ultra-nationalist Jewish Zionist settler movement was born, which would soon go on to launch its own campaign of terror.

This Jewish Zionist settler movement(s), known as Gush Emunim ('block of the faithful') and Eretz Yisrael ('Greater Land of Israel'), “is based largely on the teachings of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook,” the NYT relates; and was nothing less than an ultra-nationalist religious cult composed of supremacist Jews and aspiring terrorists espousing hate and inciting racism wherever they went. It seeks to restore the 'nation of Israel' to what it sees as its biblical borders, extending from the Jordan River to the Red Sea and encompassing all of historic Palestine, leaving no room or possibility for a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, nor for an independent Palestinian state of any kind.

As for Yehuda Kook, according to Karma Ben-Johanan, writing in The Jewish Quarterly Review in 2016,

He saw himself as a warrior "fighting our lengthy war, the Lord's war with Amalek, a war of erasing from under the heavens, a war of blotting out all memory. (via Wikipedia)

According to this theology, Arabs are viewed as 'Amalek', God's eternal enemy which the Jews are divinely obligated to destroy. Israel's Netanyahu government sees itself as waging this so-called 'holy war' in its ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza; and Netanyahu himself, during a televised speech made in the wake of the October 7 attack, in a statement which would set the tone for the duration of the war and referred to by many around the world as an "explicit call to genocide," said: "You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible," at the same time declaring his genocidal assault on the Palestinians of Gaza to be a "holy mission."

The Bible as we have it does in fact include an explicit command to commit a genocide against the Amaleks or Amalekites, found where King Saul and his army is commanded to utterly wipe out Amalek, by killing ever single man, woman, child, baby, and even their livestock.

Rabbi Kook, although preaching a modicum of tolerance and restraint that the movement he gave birth to would soon abandon, nevertheless taught his followers that if the Palestinians whom this settler movement sought to further displace and purge from their long-native land resisted their "just cause," that they must be violently persuaded. As one former Kook student explains:

He compared [our situation] to a man who was forcefully expelled from his home, which others seized and trespassed upon. That is exactly what happened to us. Rav Kook stressed that the Arabs had, and have, absolutely no national right to the land. If they deny the justice of our cause, and choose to go to war against us, we must persuade them – he said – with our tanks.

So, while preaching that the Palestinians were welcome to peacefully coexist with its Zionist occupiers if they accepted the ‘justice’ of their cause, that cause was, according to Kook and the movement he gave birth to, to build a Jewish supremacist theocracy, not a free democracy affording equal rights to all. And so, being later built upon this model, Israel has become a racist, genocidal, apartheid occupation-state.

The irony and hypocrisy of such a doctrine of course being that the ultra-nationalist Jews here are comparing their own situation and cause to the very situation and cause of the Palestinians, which they themselves are responsible for causing, while simultaneously denying the justice of the identical Palestinian cause. The primary difference being the expulsion of the Jews from that land took place a whopping 2,000 years ago, and came about at the hands of the Roman Empire, not the Palestinians they are now murdering and displacing themselves.

According to Rabbi Kook and those who would follow in his footsteps; rather than studying Torah and patiently awaiting for their Messiah to establish the expected Kingdom of Israel as so many classical and anti-Zionist Jewish Rabbis taught, the anticipated coming of the Jewish Messiah could instead be brought about by first militantly establishing that theocracy themselves.

As the New York Times would later put it: “The debate over the settlements in the occupied territories in part reflects the struggle over the vision of Israel between the secular left and the right-wing Zionism generally known as Revisionism.”

One of the most prominent early Rabbis of the movement was Meir Kahane, who both founded the militant Jewish Defense League in 1968 and later the Kach party, which would become a hotbed for Jewish terrorism for years to come. Many Rabbis, branches, offshoots, political parties and leaders would arise out of this movement, including the Jewish Underground; later officially deemed a terrorist organization by Israel, and responsible for a number of terrorist attacks through the years.

“Zionism came into being to create a Jewish state,” Kahane said in an interview with The Times in 1985, five years before he was assassinated by a gunman in New York. “Zionism declares that there is going to be a Jewish state with a majority of Jews, come what may. Democracy says, ‘No, if the Arabs are the majority then they have the right to decide their own fate.’ So Zionism and democracy are at odds. I say clearly that I stand with Zionism.” - The New York Times Magazine, 'The Unpunished: How Extremists Took Over Israel'

The long and bloody story of how this once fringe group of extremist Jewish Zionist settlers eventually all but took over the entire state of Israel – linked above – with the final takeover only now recently beginning to reach its final completion with the rise of Netanyahu's current far-right coalition to power at the turn of the present decade, is extremely illuminating and well worth the lengthy read.

This new movement was composed of the ultra-nationalist block of ideologically driven messianic Jewish Zionist settlers intent on ushering in their vision for a Jewish theocracy, which ascribed to this fundamentally racists and supremacist ideology steeped in violence and hatred – not only of Palestinians, but also of the secular-Zionist democratic state of Israel. During the 1970s, it began embarking on a quest to illegally settle the occupied West Bank, starting with a large settlement in Hebron at an abandoned military base, and expanding its illegal settlement project from there.

The longer this settler program continued, and the more the extremist wing of the settler movement grew, the more violent its settlers became; with adherents frequently bullying, harassing, threatening, and attacking native Palestinians in myriad ways; targeting and damaging their homes, farms and trees for example. Despite these settlements being technically illegal under both international and Israeli law, however, the Israeli government mostly turned a blind eye and did little to prevent it; until eventually, under increasing control of the ultra-nationalist right-wing political sector, it began openly encouraging and endorsing the illegal settlement expansion outright.

Today, with the Israeli military and police now working hand in hand with the private settler militias, the perpetrators of this illegal settler program frequently demolish Palestinian homes and forcefully throw the natives off of their land, sometimes razing to the ground entire villages at a time. This is the reality Palestinians in the occupied Israeli territories endure on a daily basis, thanks to the 'Greater Israel Project' here launched by these fundamentalist Jewish Zionist extremists.

The movement was during the 80s already fast gaining momentum, drawing more and more political support from within the Israeli far-right and among zealous young orthodox Jews as well. Beginning in 1980, the movement unleashed a violent wave of terror upon the West Bank, initiated with a multi-pronged terrorist attack targeting the Palestinian mayors of three separate West Bank towns; in which a series of car bombs were detonated, blowing the legs off of one mayor, the foot off of another, but missing the third. Then, in a 1983 attack, members of the Jewish Underground armed with machine guns and grenades stormed the Islamic College in Hebron, killing three students and injuring over 40 more.

Several additional large-scale terrorist plots of this decade were thwarted, including "an attempt the same year to bomb five Arab buses in East Jerusalem and an unsuccessful 1984 plot to blow up the Dome of the Rock mosque on Temple Mount." Such violence both fueled and was fueled by violence carried out by the equally extremist Islamic Jihadist-turned Hamas movement and its own terrorists.

As illegal settlements continued to grow and expand, slowly taking over the West Bank, the violence associated with the settler movement ebbed and flowed through time, but never fully ceased throughout the years; with two additional high-profile attacks that would forever change the course of history soon to be carried out in the following decade.

The day Palestine almost saw peace, and the dark forces that prevented it

In a seemingly unlikely and miraculous series of events that greatly shook up the status quo, both in Israel and among the Palestinians, the very real prospect of a permanent resolution to the conflict that had plagued Israel-Palestine for decades appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. And for a brief moment in time, the peace so desperately desired by the majority of Israelis and Palestinians alike appeared brightly on the horizon as a beacon of hope; beckoning humanity to arise from the darkness which held her in bondage to the vicious cycle of violence begetting violence, and to tread the path of peace, even in the face of those hellbent on preventing it.

The tragic story of how fundamentalist religious extremism – like a cancer being spawned within Israeli and Palestinian society alike – managed to kill the peace that was dawning in the heart of Man and to then spread through society like a plague and infect the whole land of Israel-Palestine with its toxic poison. It also illuminates both the power of peacemaking and the lengths the dark forces that would prevent peace on this planet are willing to go in order to perpetuate war, even in the name of God, and offers valuable insight into the current Gaza war and why it continues to rage on after so many months still today.

In the late 1980s, the First Intifada or Palestinian uprising erupted. The mass uprising was more or less nonviolent at first; characterized by mass protests and demonstrations, wide scale civil disobedience and some rioting at first, with numerous 'clashes' between armed Israeli forces and Palestinians throwing stones; but becoming increasingly violent in time as the unrest continued into the early 1990s. It was in the midst of this ongoing unrest when Israeli leadership for the first time begrudgingly opened up to a dialogue with PLO negotiators, and Arafat conceded to negotiating a two-state peace plan, a first for both sides.

Following the election of Yitzhak Rabin as Israeli Prime Minister in 1992 and the subsequent Arafat-Rabin negotiations – with the two parties signing the historic Oslo Accords on the White House lawn in that momentous occasion in the fall of 1993 – the peace plan quickly began to collapse following a deadly terrorist attack carried out by the Jewish Zionist settler Baruch Goldstein at a Hebron mosque in the West Bank, when he opened fire on a crowd of hundreds of unsuspecting peaceful Palestinian Muslim worshipers as they prayed, just five months after the signing of the Accords.

The date of the Hebron massacre that would change history had no doubt been carefully chosen; it was carried out during the Jewish festival of Purim and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The mass murder came to an end with Palestinians disarming and beating him to death.

Both sides of the decades-long conflict had made serious concessions in order to come to an agreement and establish the 5-year peace plan; the Palestinian side recognizing Israel's right to exist along with the previous UN resolutions to that effect, conceding some 80% the land it considered rightfully theirs and Arafat prohibiting all PLO terrorism and Palestinian violence; while the Israeli side for the first time officially recognized the PLO as the official representative of the Palestinians, and promised “Israeli withdrawals from Gaza and part of the West Bank, of elections for Palestinian self-governance and of a permanent resolution, based on the principle of land for peace in U.N. Resolution 242.”

The agreement was monumental, reached only because Rabin and Arafat had both agreed to set the past aside and work together to move forward towards peace and a lasting resolution to the conflict. Rabin and Arafat awkwardly shook hands in front of President Bill Clinton, two strong leaders of their own causes which had for so long been fought with violence and bloodshed, now making the symbolic gesture of reconciliation in front of the entire world. The world watched as two former men of war had been transformed into powerful peacemakers. Both men would later be awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize for their critical role in the historic feat they had helped to pull off.

Rabin declared: “We the soldiers who have returned from the battle stained with blood, we who have fought against you, the Palestinians, we say to you today in a loud and clear voice: ‘Enough of blood and tears! Enough!’” Arafat said much the same.

The stage for peace was set like never before, but the new agreement posed a serious threat to the extremist settler movement, viewed not only as a threat to their settlements but far more importantly as a threat to their fanatical religious aspirations to create a Jewish theocracy entirely free of Arabs, and democracy for that matter; and which, it hoped, would cover the entire historic land of Palestine, 'from the river to the Sea', what was perceived to be the biblical borders of ancient Israel – also known as 'Greater Israel' or 'the Greater Israel Project.'

It was also a threat to Hamas and its growing Islamic Jihad movement which refused to recognize the existence of a state of Israel at all; and so, despite the 6-year Intifada and PLO-sanctioned violence coming to an end, a fresh wave of Hamas-backed violence ensued. Without popular support, however, it wouldn't be able to derail the peace process on its own; it needed the help of its counterpart on the Israeli side to shatter the new prospect of peace into bits and pieces once and for all.

The Hebron massacre not only signaled the beginning of the end of the Oslo peace process along with all hope of lasting peace in the region for decades to come, but was also the spark which ignited an explosion within the ranks of this once isolated and fringe movement needed, to propel its growth and expansion to the point of one day eventually becoming the dominant political force of Israel, entirely replacing the fledgling secular-Zionist democracy Israel had once been, or at least aspired to be under leftist leadership of the Labor Party.

It was the teachings of Rabbi Kahane to which Baruch, affiliated with the Kach party, later to be outlawed, ascribed. Following the mass murder, Goldstein immediately became a hero among Israel's far-right and the Jewish Zionist settler movement, inspiring much illegal settler expansion and waves of violent terror in the Israeli and Palestinian territories for decades to come; violence that continues unabated to this day; seen carried out both by ever increasingly bold settlers in the West Bank as well as in Israel's current genocidal war on Gaza. Not only did this mass murder garner much support for and lead to an explosion among the ranks of the fundamentalist Jewish Zionist settler movement, it caused the very same phenomenon among the fundamentalist Islamic Jihad movement among Palestinians with Hamas at its helm.

“The violence immediately brought about a significant rise in support for Hamas that was...sufficient to give Hamas the strength it needed to be able to carry out large-scale violence to destroy whatever [progress towards lasting peace] was being achieved” through the Oslo Accords, Khalil Shikaki, professor of political science and director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, and panelist in a discussion on the failure of Oslo moderated by the New York Times, relates. Indeed, local papers at the time reported an immediate and widespread upsurge in Arab violence against Israelis, as well as violent crackdowns on Palestinians in the occupied territories and vows of vengeance coming from “radical Palestinian groups” presumably associated with Hamas, in the wake of the Hebron massacre.

From the Israel State Archives, it is relayed that at a media conference the next day, Rabin emphasized that:

Goldstein had not only killed innocent Palestinians while praying, but while doing so had joined Hamas and Islamic Jihad with the aim of killing the peace process.

In the months leading up to the massacre, Baruch's association with extremist settler groups and his deadly intentions were made known to Israeli authorities, while Israeli Security Services had been monitoring his activity during which time he had been flagged by agents as a security risk, though never officially listed among 'wanted' extremists. Nevertheless, all of these warnings were ignored, while the soldiers tasked with guarding the Hebron Mosque permitted Goldstein to enter with his service weapon and multiple magazines, despite a ban on carrying ammunition into the Mosque then in effect.

The massive Israeli security failure that led to this tragedy was a result, not only of fanatical religious extremism, but also of “Israel's systematic failure to enforce the law,” reflective of a deeply flawed government system deeply rooted in prejudice and inequality.

“The cabinet, the prime minister,” Ami Ayalon, [the head of Shin Bet from 1996 to 2000] says, “they signal to the Shin Bet [security services] that if a Jew is killed, that’s terrible. If an Arab is killed, that’s not good, but it’s not the end of the world.”

Since that fateful day, thousands of Jewish settlers have, in truly twisted fashion, visited Goldstein's grave to honor, commemorate and celebrate their iconic hero, where engraved upon his tombstone are the words: “A saint with clean hands and a pure heart.” Hundreds of such newfound devotees flocked there to do the same in the weeks immediately following the mass murder. Baruch had inspired a cult-like following, among them a teenager who frequently visited his grave and in time began bringing others along with him; and who would, in short order, begin to rise among the ranks of the extremist settler movement and eventually emerge as a prominent far-right political voice and Israeli leader, presently an Israeli member of Parliament in Netanyahu's far-right coalition.

This young man was Kach member Itamar Ben Gvir, who in recent years has been dubbed both “Israel's Kingmaker” and “Minister of Chaos,” presently Netanyahu's Minister of National Security and leader of the Jewish supremacist Kahanist Jewish Power party – Otzma Yehudit. He has through the years been indicted at least 50 times, on a variety of terrorism-related charges, and has been convicted of incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization. He is also notorious for the picture of his hero Baruch Goldstein which famously hung on his living room wall for years; it was removed when he was elected to the Israeli Parliament in 2021.

He was also at the center of the coordinated incitement campaign against Rabin that arose in the wake of Goldstein's mass murder – incitement to assassinate Rabin, that is. In October of 1995, amid a growing number of calls for Rabin's murder among Kahanist extremist settlers and religious 'death sentences' imposed upon him by far-right Rabbis of the fundamentalist settler movement – in the form of various death curses and by marking him as a 'Rodef', that is a murderous 'pursuer' on the trail of a Jew who must be put to death in order to protect the would-be victim according to Jewish law – along with mounting suspicion among Israeli Security Services operatives tasked with monitoring the extremist groups of an actual conspiracy to assassinate Rabin in the works, Ben Gvir appeared on Israeli Television, speaking to cameras with a Cadillac ornament he claimed was ripped off of Rabin's car during a recent anti-Oslo demonstration, declaring: “We got to his car, and we’ll get to him, too.”

That same month, [as the Washington Monthly relays, on the eve of Yom Kippur, “a group of Israelis led by Avigdor Eskin gathered outside the home of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,” where, wrapped in prayer shawls and chanting in Aramaic, placed upon Rabin an ancient kabbalistic death curse called Pulsa da-Nura or 'Lashes of Fire', which chant concluded with the words: “Put to death the cursed Yitzhak,” followed by a threefold damnation.

The next month, on November 4, 1995, Rabin was dead, assassinated at the conclusion of massive pro-peace rally held in support of the Oslo peace plan, shot to death as he was leaving the rally by a young radicalized Jewish Zionist by the name of Yigal Amir, who proudly acknowledged his guilt to investigators immediately following his arrest, claiming he had been acting directly upon the orders of God himself.

Throughout the year, Shin Bet had issued countless warnings, one after another, but to no avail. What was at first mere incitement appeared to have morphed into a more definite plan designed to end with Rabin's assassination. “This was no longer a matter of mere incitement, but rather concrete information on the intention to kill top political figures, including Rabin,” Hezi Kalo, a senior Shin Bet official who oversaw the division responsible for these investigations, told New York Times Magazine reporters.

That there was a wider conspiracy to assassinate Rabin is almost certain, as it turned out Amir was not working alone; his brother was eventually also arrested and convicted, having been intimately involved in planning the murder, a plan that had been in the works for more than a few weeks; this being at least the third such assassination attempt made by Amir.

Investigators appeared at first certain that the conspiracy was more far reaching than this, however, and arrested at least eight other suspects in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, and claimed to be on the trail of still others, including a group of rabbis suspected of inciting and encouraging the murder. When pressed on the issue, Amir eventually said enough that investigators were able to identify two of the rabbis, but they were never arrested, the attorney general arguing that such incitement could not be linked directly to the act of murder itself. Nevertheless, as per the NYT, one moderate rabbi among the extremist settlers around him, who claimed to have intimate knowledge of the rabbis involved who were sympathetic to “The new Jewish underground that killed Mr. Rabin,” as the NYT puts it, was so disgusted with the incitement and the subsequent assassination that he threatened to publicly oust them all if they did not resign from their duties.

Rabbi Ben Nun, who is threatening to expose the rabbis involved unless they resign their religious posts, warned, "there are people still calling certain people pursuers, invoking the law of pursuer about Shimon Peres."

...

He demanded that the rabbis resign their positions by the end of the mourning period, which will come Sunday, or else he would identify them. And, he suggested, they were prominent. "These are not weeds or wild growths, these are great authorities," he said.

The NYT goes on to reference information suggesting that the “alleged terrorist cell” behind the assassination “seemed to have developed from a more militant offshoot of Rabbi Kahane's Kach organization called Eyal.

Amir was known to be closely associated with the leader of Eyal, Avishai Raviv, who was arrested under charges of conspiracy to commit murder, and, as it was eventually discovered, also a Shin Bet informant with the code name of Champagne. He and the other suspects were shortly thereafter released, the investigation came to a close, and the authorities concluded Amir and his brother had been working alone. Raviv later testified that he was aware of Amir's frequent allusions to the 'bin rodef' rulings made by the extremist rabbis, but that he never identified him to his handlers because “nobody took [him] seriously, explaining: “It’s common in our circles to talk about attacking public figures.”

The tragic incident again appears to be largely a result of a failure on the part of Israeli Security Services, the Israeli justice system hindering the work of those genuinely attempting to infiltrate extremist Jewish Zionist settler groups and prevent and route out Jewish extremism from Israel's midst, as well as the supremacist ideology of these same extremist groups actively promoting their hate-filled, violent rhetoric and intentions.

Many conspiracy theories have since been circulated in Israeli circles, some seemingly quite a bit more far fetched than others, and perhaps the true extent of the conspiracy will never be known. Although, in the grand scheme of things, it is perhaps all but irrelevant, as anyone with two eyes and half a brain can see exactly who and what is ultimately responsible for such senseless acts of violence and terror. At the end of the day, the dark forces responsible for the Hebron massacre are the same dark forces responsible for the Rabin assassination; and these forces will stop at nothing in their ceaseless plot to prevent peace and perpetuate war upon our planet.

The unfortunate assassination of Yitzhak Rabin ultimately looks to have been the big nail in the coffin of the peace plan process that seems to have been the best and last real chance for a lasting resolution to this endless conflict and hope for peace in the land of Israel-Palestine. As it is, Benjamin Netanyahu was elected Prime Minister in 1996, the final remnants of the peace deal soon fell apart, officially dying in 1998 when the 5-year process officially came to an end, and the rest is history. The fundamentalist Jewish Zionist settler movement that had, with the help of its fundamentalist counterparts in the Islamic Jihadist movement of Hamas, effectively dashed to pieces all hopes of peace. And now, 30 years later, with Hamas in control of Gaza and the supremacist Jewish Zionist extremists in control of the Israeli government, this two-headed fundamentalist warmongering monster from hell has finally gotten the all-out 'holy war' it has always sought.

And Netanyahu himself, for reasons that appear far more political than ideological, is front and center of the madness, as he so often seems to be. Unsurprisingly, then, Israel under Netanyahu's leadership has continued to feed both heads of this two-faced monster and fuel its growth.

Strategic Israel-Hamas Alliance continues, with Netanyahu at the helm

In 2012, Netanyahu told an Israeli reporter “that it was important to keep Hamas strong,” and in 2019, in a meeting with members of his Likud party, the PM reiterated that “bolstering Hamas” was “a part of our strategy,” the strategy of “anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state, that is; a strategy leading to perpetual war that appears destined to end in only one way, with a single state “from the river to the sea,” the only question being whether that single state is a Palestinian state, a Zionist state, or perhaps something else altogether if both heads of this monster were to somehow be cut off at once.

And, as the NY Times reveals, “an empowered Hamas helped Mr. Netanyahu avoid negotiating over a Palestinian state.”

“One effective way to prevent a two-state solution is to divide between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank,” Shlomo Brom, a retired general and former deputy to Israel’s national security adviser said in an interview. The division gives Mr. Netanyahu an excuse to disengage from peace talks, Mr. Brom said,

While Israeli MP Bezalel Smotrich bluntly declared in 2015 that: “Hamas is an asset.”

The Zionist strategy of empowering Hamas in order to perpetuate Palestinian division, an endless war with the armed faction, and prevent progress towards a lasting peace plan and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state was multi-faceted and perhaps even more devious than it may at first appear.

“For 14 years, Netanyahu's policy was to keep Hamas in power,” Adam Raz explains in an op-ed for Israel's Haaretz newspaper headlined A Brief History of the Netanyahu-Hamas Alliance; while “the pogrom of October 7, 2023,” the deadly 'surprise' Hamas attack which led directly to his war on Gaza, “helps the Israeli prime minister preserve his own rule.”

That war seems to be the only thing that keeps Netanyahu in power these days is no secret in Israel, all the more so with this particular war, being the Prime Minister has been indicted on corruption charges by his own government and has been losing popularity among Israelis for quite some time now; the extremist far-right majority coalition he put together and joined hands with order to retain power in recent years surely a part of homeland woes. The fact that the October 7 attack was the crucial ingredient necessary to justify the current war on Gaza of an unprecedented nature cannot be overlooked. This inconvenient truth is particularly noteworthy considering the massive 'surprise' attack was really no surprise at all, or at least it surely never should have been.

October 7 ‘surprise attack’ no surprise at all

Despite Hamas taking a number of actions which on the surface may have appeared to indicate a newfound desire for peace in the months leading up to the unprecedented deadly incursion into Israel, particularly a highly unusual level of restraint in the face of numerous Israeli provocations, Hamas made no secret of its intentions.

In a public speech given at a rally in Gaza on December 14, 2022, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar delivered a bold message to Israel, declaring: "We will come to you in a roaring flood. We will come to you with endless rockets, we will come to you in a limitless flood of soldiers...like the repeating tide."

Detailed plans for the coming attack were at the time already both well established and also in the hands of Israeli intelligence services, code-named “Jericho Wall” by the Israeli side.

Just shy of nine months later, in the daring operation dubbed 'Al Aqsa Flood', hundreds of Hamas fighters poured into Israeli territory on motorcycles, pickup trucks and para gliders; after first disabling the border fence security cameras, overrunning the single Israeli tank in the area and then variously storming over half a dozen Israeli military bases in the region and rampaging through nearby settlements and a rave, before finally returning to Gaza with some 240 hostages, having killed nearly 1,200 Israelis – soldiers and civilians alike without discrimination. And if it weren't for the Israeli intelligence indicative of the coming attack in the year leading up to this massacre, one could be forgiven for imagining this onslaught truly came as a surprise to the Israeli military-intelligence apparatus and leadership.

In fact, however, as detailed by the NY Times, Israel had obtained incredibly detailed plans of the coming attack more than a year before this violent 'flood' was unleashed upon her people. The upper echelons of the Israeli military and intelligence services apparently disregarded the widely circulated and detailed battle plan, which “Hamas followed with shocking precision,” as merely aspirational, “considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out,” officially determining “that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas’s capabilities.”

“It is not yet possible to determine whether the plan has been fully accepted and how it will be manifested,” read a military assessment reviewed by The Times.

If that was at first the conclusion, however, it surely shouldn't have been once Israeli intelligence documented Hamas training exercises fully matching plans detailed in the extensive blueprint.

“I utterly refute that the scenario is imaginary,” a veteran analyst in Israel's Unit 8200 wrote in an email exchange with her Colonel who dismissed the warning. “It is a plan designed to start a war,” she added, “It’s not just a raid on a village.” The analyst then spread her intelligence findings further, warning a group of other intelligence experts of her fears, reminding them of the surprise Arab attack plan of 1973, whereby similarly discounted intelligence led to a surprise attack by Syrian and Egyptian forces. Her warnings were continually dismissed, and so the “plans designed to start a war” did just that, giving both Hamas and the Zionist leadership the all-out war both parties wanted, and which Netanyahu had been seeking for years.

At the same time:

The plan also included details about the location and size of Israeli military forces, communication hubs and other sensitive information, raising questions about how Hamas gathered its intelligence and whether there were leaks inside the Israeli security establishment.

In a separate NYT piece headlined The Secrets Hamas Knew About Israel’s Military, the authors describe how Hamas had “extraordinary awareness of Israel’s secrets and weaknesses,” that its fighters “knew exactly how to find the Israeli intelligence hub” it targeted, — and how to get inside,” and revealing that it “had a surprisingly sophisticated understanding of how the Israeli military operated, where it stationed specific units, and even the time it would take for reinforcements to arrive.”

This massive intelligence failure in turn has unnerved many officials and analysts, who, as the authors put it, “have questioned how the Israeli military — renowned for its intelligence gathering — could have inadvertently revealed so much information about its own operations.”

And given the long history of the Mossad and Israeli military forces at times fomenting war with deception and false flag attacks – such as the murderous Israeli aerial assault on the USS Liberty during the 6-Day War which took the lives of dozens of US sailors and nearly led to US bombers dropping a small nuclear warhead on Egypt – freethinking humanity cannot discount the possibility that dark and devious forces deep within the Israeli military-intelligence-security apparatus intentionally leaked these military and security secrets and sensitive information in order to help create the very scenario that would trigger a long desired war. A war that was long desired by leadership within both the Israeli and Hamas factions.

It is not unreasonable to wonder if on some level and to some degree this tragedy was in fact a joint Mossad-Hamas operation carried out on behalf of the “Netanyahu-Hamas alliance,” and/or whether certain Israeli forces were responsible for intentionally ignoring what they surely should have known was a coming attack that would rock the soul of Israeli society; as part of a strategy that would give both Netanyahu the war he so desperately needed to stay in power and the Israeli far-right extremist settler movement the opportunity to take the next giant leap forward in its colonial settler program rooted in endless war, ethnic cleansing and forcible displacement of the Palestinian population.

All of the red flags suggesting the ominous possibility are indeed present. And so, while the world may never know whether the 'Al Aqsa Flood'/'Jericho Wall' attack was a result of arrogant hubris on the part of a vastly superior military force utterly incapable of believing that a vastly militarily inferior enemy was capable of successfully executing such a massive multi-faceted military operation on its own soil, or a far more deceptive and devious plot to foment war, the result is the same: The Netanyahu government and Hamas both got the desired war needed to bolster their own political power, and, as in all violent wars, it is humanity who has paid the price, and she continues to this day to pay dearly indeed for the crimes of her dark masters.

No matter how one interprets the unprecedented events of October 7, one inconvenient fact nevertheless remains: “There is a need...to conclude unequivocally: The pogrom of October 7, 2023, helps Netanyahu, and not for the first time, to preserve his rule, at least in the short term,” that is, for at least as long as the war continues.

Intent to commit genocide, a consistent pattern of dehumanization & the rejection of peace threatening regional, world war: 'There will never be a peace plan'

War is a monster. War is the devil. It starts and it consumes, and it grows and it grows. And otherwise normal men become monsters, too. - Patrick Ness, ‘The Knife of Never Letting Go’

At the very onset of this war, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced his decision to impose a complete and total siege of Gaza, blocking the entry of... everything – all food, water, aid, fuel and electricity – a war crime and grievous crime against humanity.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

Then, sure enough, Israel in fact did block entry of all goods, including food, water, fuel, and desperately needed medical aid for a number of weeks; this a war crime under the Geneva Conventions; the announcement betraying Israel's intention to commit the heinous war crime of intentionally starving an entire civilian population, and likely a prime reason the Defense Minister is also charged alongside Netanyahu with war crimes and crimes against humanity in the ICC Prosecutor's application for the arrest warrants for them both.

Intent to commit genocide, war crimes & a pattern of dehumanization: In their own words

The Defense Minister’s reference to Palestinians as “human animals” is nothing new for Israel, however, echoing numerous such dehumanizing statements that have been made over the years by various Israeli leaders; with PM Netanyahu himself in 2016 describing all of Israel's Arab neighbors as “wild beasts.” Other such dehumanizing statements made in the past decade - all by ones who were, at the time the statements were made, Israeli government leaders - include the following:

“The souls of all Jews are higher than those of Christians, or Muslims or anybody else.”

Palestinians “are like grasshoppers compared to us.”

“The Palestinians are like crocodiles.”

Palestinians “are not human, they are beasts.”

“There are no innocent people in the Gaza Strip.”

“Palestinians are all enemy combatants. … The mothers' of the martyrs should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise more little snakes will be raised there.”

“Israel is going to hurt Lebanese civilians to include kids of the families. … We did it then, we did it in the Gaza Strip, we are going to do it in any round of hostilities in the future.”

“There will never be a peace plan with the Palestinians. I will do everything in my power to make sure the Palestinians never get a state. I've killed a lot of Arabs in my life, and there's no problem with that.”

(Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4)

It is now, more so than ever before, clearly the Zionist intention to never recognize the Palestinians as a people, never make peace with the Palestinians, and forever prevent the implementation of a two-state solution that perhaps at one time could have brought peace. This has been confirmed in numerous statements made on the Israeli side throughout the war. For example, Israeli Minister of Settlements and National Missions, Orit Strook, during a speech in the Knesset on February 19, said that, “there is no such such thing as a Palestinian people” and that “there will never be a Palestinian state in the land of Israel.” By 'land of Israel', she means the entire historic land of Palestine, from the river to the sea, including the illegally occupied and settled West Bank and East Jerusalem, as well as the besieged and war-torn Gaza Strip.

We can also see how this dehumanizing and at times outright genocidal rhetoric is directly inherited from the violent supremacist Jewish Zionist settler movement intent on preventing peace and fomenting war, which has now taken over the state of Israel, and in the process has turned it into a wholly state-sanctioned apartheid colonization project.

This war is but a new phase of the ongoing implementation of this entirely illegal decades-long colonization program by the radical fundamentalist Jewish Zionist terrorists and war criminals who seem to be calling all the shots in Israel these days.

Alongside Gallant, in statements made in the immediate wake of the October 7 Hamas attack, Netanyahu mirrored the Defense Minister's sinister announcement, declaring: "We will destroy them and we will forcefully avenge this dark day that they have forced on the state of Israel and its citizens."

The ensuing Israeli military assault on Gaza has done just that, delivering on a promise made by a top Israeli General all the way back on Christmas Day of 2019, in which the military spokesman assured listeners that: “In the next war, we will forcefully strike within urban areas,” clarifying: "Electricity, fuel, infrastructure, we will strike."

This is that war, and sure enough the IDF has delivered well upon its promise, with an apocalyptic vengeance. During the opening salvo of the war, PM Netanyahu also said, of “that wicked city,” referring to Gaza, that “we will turn them into rubble,” adding: “I say to the residents of Gaza: leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere."

Unfortunately for the 2 million unhappy Palestinians inhabiting the besieged Strip, they have absolutely nowhere to go, being prisoners under the illegal decades-long military siege of the enclave. No civilian corridor into either Israel or Egypt has ever been created since October 7, as the true Zionist intention appears not to be to protect and liberate the Palestinians in Gaza, but rather to subject them to a ruthless, relentless, indiscriminate military bombing campaign and ground assault.

Netanyahu's empty words are not actually meant for Palestinian ears, mind you, but rather to paint the false picture in western minds that his inhumane assault on the entire population of Gaza is actually a heroic operation to free an oppressed civilian population from the authoritarian rule of Hamas, which, by calling on them to evacuate, leaves the impression among ignorant western audiences that these defenseless souls actually have anywhere left to go. They don't, they haven't for two decades, and that's a really big problem.

Meanwhile, also during the opening salvo of the war, Israeli parliamentarian Revital "Tally" Gotliv went much further with her outright genocidal rhetoric, suggesting Israel carry out a nuclear strike and advocating for the flattening of the entire Gaza Strip.

"Jericho missile! Jericho missile! A strategic alert, before we consider introducing our forces. A doomsday weapon!" she wrote on X, adding that, "Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country's dignity, strength, and security! It's time to kiss doomsday," before going on in a follow up post with this: "Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighborhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza...Without mercy! Without mercy!"

Israel's Jericho missiles are “reportedly equipped with a 750 kg nuclear warhead,” and while the world thankfully has yet to witness a nuclear strike, Israel had, less than one month into the war, already “dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip since the start of its large-scale war on 7 October, equivalent to two nuclear bombs,” Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported.

By now, the Zionist regime has shockingly dropped more tons of explosives on the besieged enclave than all of the major bombing campaigns of World War 2 combined. Meanwhile, our American leaders continuing to openly fund, support and arm the Zionist war machine responsible for this senseless slaughter, ever lining the pockets of the gleeful arms manufacturers, both parties enabling the endless carnage.

Not the only Israeli MP to advance the idea of nuking Gaza, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu also “suggested that Israel drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza and said there were 'no uninvolved civilians' in the territory.” Still another Israeli lawmaker, Deputy speaker of the Israeli Parliament Nissim Vaturi, writing on X, assured his audience that Israelis were united behind one common goal: “Erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.”

Meanwhile, on October 11, former Israeli General Giora Eiland declared: “We must create an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in Gaza. The ultimate tool - damage to the water system,” belying the true genocidal intent of this savage war campaign. At the same time, an Israeli army official told Channel 13 News that “Gaza is going to be razed to the ground," and “will eventually” be reduced to “a city of tents.”

On October 13, Israeli President Isaac Herzog reiterated the Zionist position that would justify in its eyes a wholesale genocide of the entire Palestinian population of Gaza, putting the blame for the Hamas attack upon every man, woman and child living in Gaza, absurdly declaring that: "We are working, acting, militarily according to rules of international law, period, unequivocally. It's an entire nation out there that is responsible [for the October 7 attack]. It's not true, this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it's absolutely not true.”

It should be noted that before October 7 and the ensuing Israeli war on Gaza, Hamas support among Palestinians was at a dismal 26%; and yet since then, as the conflict rages on, that support has risen significantly. So to say that the entire ‘nation’ of Gaza was complicit and involved in that attack is an absurd lie, given some 75% of the Palestinians do not even support the extremist militant group controlling the besieged enclave, not to mention a practical impossibility that 2 million people were somehow involved in such an attack in which only about 2,000 militants carried out, and during which time perhaps several dozen to several hundred civilians crossed into Israeli territory and engaged in some looting and vandalism. But as we can see, the number or absurdity of the lies being spewed by these murderous war propagandists knows no bounds.

Nor did such genocidal rhetoric disappear once the war kicked off in full-swing. By January of this year, Deputy Speaker Vaturi was taking to the airwaves to reaffirm his initial call to “wipe Gaza off the face of the earth,” adding: “Gaza must be burned.” In the same radio interview he also said that “there are no innocents there,” before calling on the wholesale destruction of all remaining Palestinians in northern Gaza. “I have no mercy for those who are still there. We need to eliminate them,” he said. Just three days earlier the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, outrageously claimed that Gaza is filled with 2 million “Nazis,” that is, practically the entire population.

And just in the last couple of weeks, the same Smotrich was lamenting that the scruples of humanity, via increasing international pressure being put upon Israel to at least reign in its madness or better yet broker a ceasefire, would never permit the Zionist war machine to starve the entire besieged population, suggesting it would nevertheless be both “justified” and “moral” to commit such a monstrous crime against humanity. “No one in the world will allow us to starve 2 million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages,” Smotrich said, signaling to the world that perhaps an even more inhumane siege akin to the one initially imposed at the onset of the war may be right around the corner.

It should be noted that by starving Hamas out and targeting the Strip’s water systems, Israel would also contribute to the starvation of the hostages, who are reliant upon their Hamas captors for their food and water, another sign these psychopaths are not prioritizing the health and safe return of the hostages, but rather their own personal, religious and political aims.

The “most moral army on earth” has delivered well on the maniacal promise of its overlords, successfully displacing an entire civilian population, flattening Gaza, starving its people, slaughtering its women and children; and, ironically, in the process of doing so has only served to strengthen Hamas as well as weaken itself to the point of nearing total societal breakdown and civil war.

Dehumanization & genocidal rhetoric spreads, poisoning an entire Israeli society, exposing Israeli prisons as torture camps & threatening complete societal breakdown, civil war

Not unsurprisingly, this hate-induced rhetoric serving to dehumanize an entire people did not remain confined to the halls of the Knesset and the statements of far-right Israeli leaders, but has spread throughout the ranks of the whole Israeli right-wing and also trickled down into society to affect the psyche of all of Israel, infecting all those whose hearts and minds are not strong enough to resist the pervasive fear and hatred being spewed by those at the top of the pyramid of Zionist power. As reported by the AP last year, by mid-December, a number of videos and photos depicting Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip “acting maliciously” went viral on social media, sparking outrage among many, while reflecting the moral and spiritual toll this senseless war is taking on those sent out to do their master's bidding.

“The dehumanization from the top is very much sinking down to the soldiers,” said Dror Sadot, a spokeswoman for the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, which has long documented Israeli abuses against Palestinians.

From a video showing soldiers lighting fire to precious Palestinian food and water supplies in the back of a truck, to another capturing soldiers decapitating plastic figurines in a toy store; from a photo of a soldier posing in front of a wall next to the spray-painted inscription, “instead of erasing graffiti, let’s erase Gaza,” to a video of a group of soldiers dancing hand-in-hand while singing a 'battle song' featuring the words, “Gaza we have come to conquer. … We know our slogan – there are no people who are uninvolved.” The fear, intense human suffering on both sides, and bitter hatred fueling this insanity is pervasive and is infecting the hearts and minds of many of those who were previously more reasonable and inclined towards some semblance of empathy and compassion for their fellows upon this planet, 'enemy' or not.

Ghassan Khatib, a former Palestinian-Israeli Cabinet minister and peace negotiator, explained how in his view this was the most divisive and polarized he had ever seen Israeli society, similar in many respects to the current highly polarized political environment in which we here in America now find ourselves.

“Previously, there are people that are interested in seeing from the two perspectives,” said Khatib, who teaches international relations at Beir Zeit University in the West Bank. “Now, each side is closed to its own narrative, its own information, rules, and perspective.”

Such close-mindedness inherent to such intense polarization is at the heart of this dehumanization campaign, which has led to otherwise well-intentioned people carrying out some of the most unthinkable atrocities against their fellow humans. Their hearts have been utterly closed off to empathy and compassion, now filled instead with the very same poisonous fear and hatred which has led to the most tragic human rights abuses and genocides the world has ever known; from the well known genocidal Nazi war campaign to the lesser known but perhaps more savage 1994 Rwanda genocide, featuring neighbors viciously hacking defenseless neighbors to pieces with machetes – including countless women, children and even babies.

The results of this intentional corruption and degradation of the human soul by the dark side is perhaps most pronounced not in the flattening of Gaza, but back in Israel.

As surfacing photos, videos and eyewitness testimony has come to reveal, the Israeli prison system has, since the beginning of the war, been turned into a de-facto torture chamber network, with the widespread and systematic daily abuse of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners being held without charges – including deprivation of food and water, humiliation, torture and rape – now the horrifying new normal for 'the only democracy in the Middle East'.

The graphic details of the reality of this situation, the daily reality for so many imprisoned Palestinians since the beginning of the war, will doubtlessly send chills of horror running down the spine of anyone who has any shred of humanity left within in them. That any human being on the planet in this modern age of 'civility' could support, let alone participate in such incomprehensible atrocities carried out against fellow defenseless humans, is both shocking and almost unbelievable; and yet this is exactly the unconscionable reality currently playing out in Israel at this very present moment in time.

The recent Israeli arrest of nine soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner was met with massive riots on a scale not unlike the American January 6 'uprising', with several Israeli MPs also taking part; the angry mob storming two military facilities in an attempt to prevent the detention and questioning of the accused rapists. Despite video footage documenting the gang-rape being leaked to the public, Israeli authorities have subsequently released four of the apparent rapists, likely in an attempt to quell public outrage and avoid the possibility of a civil war; as there were calls from among the angry protesters, some armed, for an uprising if the arrested soldiers weren't released, and protests have since continued. The first of these men to be released, as I understand, then went public on social media, bragging about his actions and calling on Israelis to support the 'heroes'.

A number of Israeli leaders have since defended the soldiers' heinous crimes, denouncing their questioning by military prosecutors, while openly defending this institutionalized rape along with absolutely “everything” else being systematically done to these unfortunate Palestinian detainees in contravention of international law as completely “legitimate.” Instead of denying the atrocities being carried out in their prisons, a block of the Israeli right-wing is instead openly acknowledging, defending, and advocating for these crimes against humanity to continue 'in defense of Israel against the terrorists', while the apparent rapists have been called “heroes” by many.

All of this highlights the severe moral degradation and breakdown of society that all of this deep-rooted fear, dehumanization, bitter hatred, and desensitization of our very humanity rooted in the spirit of vengeance has brought about.

The disturbing effects of this global dehumanization campaign upon the hearts and minds of the masses can also be seen in the hate-filled rhetoric of Israelis and staunch supporters of Israel worldwide, parroted widely across social media platforms by countless social media accounts. Such comments disseminate not only a message of unquestionable support for and defense of Israel's war campaign, but also a pervasive message of bitter hatred, where the dehumanization of the 'enemy' by the rank-and-file among those caught in this Zionist cult mentality is pervasive. Such examples are too numerous to count, with a central theme of this dehumanization campaign consisting in calls – some direct and many others through graphic insinuations – to “exterminate the rats.”

Another major social media influencer who has advanced such dehumanization is 'Hillel Fuld' (X handle: “@HilzFuld”), a self-proclaimed “Proud Zionist/Jew,” who revels in the IDF humiliation of Palestinians being taken prisoner, calling them “small pathetic snakes,” admittedly despises “self-hating” anti-Zionist Jews more than “the enemy,” incessantly celebrates the deaths of those same enemies, and has referred to the entire Hamas leadership as “literal rats.”

At the same time, Hamas and its supporters also frequently celebrate the death of Israelis with equal fervor, demonstrating that the poison fueling this seemingly endless cycle of bloodshed has infected the hearts and minds of a great many souls on both sides of this conflict.

Other dehumanizing labels personally observed across social media posts given by the Zionist war supporters to their enemies include “desert vipers” and “weak weasels,” as well as “sewage rats,” “cowardly vermin,” and “cockroaches” which are “difficult to exterminate.” Let us not forget that during the Rwanda genocide, “cockroaches” was the chosen label given to the slaughtered Tutsi minority in the days leading up to and during the slaughter. Let us also remember, that during that genocide, US officials refused to call it such, despite other world leaders calling it out for what it was. Sound familiar? Because it sure should with the current genocide case moving forward against Israel in the ICJ…

Whether such dehumanization is directed towards Hamas and Hezbollah specifically, or Palestinians, Muslims and Arabs generally, is often difficult to ascertain; considering the extremist Zionist viewpoint that no Palestinian in Gaza is innocent or uninvolved with Hamas military operations, apart perhaps from children four years of age and younger at least – as one Israeli official has argued. That such hatred is often directed towards all Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, however, is seen in memes making such declarations as: “F*ck Palestine. F*ck Hamas. F*ck Islam,” and: “Burn them all.”

From Israeli leaders and policy makers to IDF soldiers and officers, former government officials, journalists and media personalities alike; the genocidal rhetoric, dehumanization, humiliation and calls for the forced displacement of and subsequent occupation and Jewish settlement of the entire Gaza Strip has been rampant throughout Israel throughout the war. As of mid-August, 500 such cases have been documented so far by the human rights organization Law for Palestine.

Even religious Jews themselves, when they condemn the murderous actions of the so-called Jewish State being carried out in their names, are not immune from such hatred and dehumanization. Inside Israeli territory, such dissent among citizens is often met with repression, though it is typically worse for Arab/Muslim Israelis who speak out than white/Jewish Israelis who speak out.

Miriam Margolyes, an elderly Australian Jew, upon condemnation of the Israeli war campaign in a video posted to X in April, was variously called a “senile bat,” a “Self hating Jew,” and a “clearly demented” and “helpless...propaganda tool.” Readers can judge for themselves whether her compassionate call for peace and condemnation of horrific crimes against humanity in the name of her religion – based upon her loyalty to the spiritually universal Golden Rule which lies at the heart of all the major religions – is actually reflective of a demented and propagandized mind; or in fact rather reflects the common sense, heartfelt reasoning of one of the countless sane and rational minds speaking to this conflict, whose voices appear strangely all too often ignored in the highly polarized establishment portrayal of this insanity.

It must also be pointed out that this rampant dehumanization is not only occurring among those falling for the Zionist war propaganda, but is equally present among Hamas propagandists and its loyal supporters, a point all too often invoked in defense of this very same dehumanization of those who are also dehumanizing them.

All of this is what happens once the poison of intolerance and hatred begins to take hold of a society, and if left unchecked, this is exactly where it can lead, to a genocide…

Once one assumes an attitude of intolerance, there is no knowing where it will take one. Intolerance, someone has said, is violence to the intellect, and hatred is violence to the heart. - Mahatma Ghandi

US officials join the genocidal fray, suggest nuking Gaza & wiping Russian military off the face of the earth

Meanwhile, here in the US, at least two American lawmakers have also suggested that Israel consider the nuclear option on Gaza. In March of this year, Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) not only advised that Israel should treat the Gaza Strip as the US so foolishly did with Japan's major civilian centers at the end of the second world war, but more shockingly also suggested our own military forces take the same approach in Ukraine, with the intent to “wipe out Russian forces.”

“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid,” Walberg said at a town hall meeting in Dundee, south of Ann Arbor. “It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick,” he said.

...

Calling Israel “our greatest ally,” Walberg said that any moves to feed the starving population of Gaza would be a gift to “Iran and Russia” as well as “China.”

After proposing a “Nagasaki and Hiroshima” solution for Gaza, Walberg immediately added, “It should be the same in Ukraine,” declaring that the aim of the US should be to “wipe out Russian forces.” - WSWS

Similarly, Zionist war-hawk and senior Senator Lindsey Graham of SC twice in May of this year suggested Israel consider the nuclear option to end its war on Gaza, first at a congressional hearing and then in a television appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, in which he forcefully defended the US decision to drop the atom bombs on Japan's two major civilian centers as “the right thing to do.” Never mind that this blight in American history was one of the single most heinous and atrocious acts of evil perpetrated against humanity that the world has ever been unfortunate enough to witness; here we have a senior US lawmaker actually defending that despicable war crime and suggesting such an atrocity should be considered again in a heavily nuclear-armed world, and upon an entirely defenseless civilian population no less!

In the immediate wake of the October 7 Hamas attack, in a FOX News interview, the unhinged SC senator had previously called on Israel to “level the [Gaza Strip],” echoing the rhetoric of his fellow haters of humanity over in Israel, declaring that: “We are fighting a religious war, and I am on Israel’s side. Israel needs to do whatever the hell it takes, level the place.”

Can such people not see that by stooping to the very same level of dehumanization as the 'genocidal enemy', that they have actually become a part of the very evil they at first set out to eradicate? A poignant admonition of Frederick Neitche certainly rings true, and humanity would be wise to reflect upon his words:

“He who fights with monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster, and if one gazes long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into him.”

Political theater in the People's House & a new plot to prevent peace

After months of negotiations, as the two sides of the conflict appeared to be nearing the stage of implementing the terms of a recently agreed upon ceasefire framework, Netanyahu flew to America to address the US Congress and stage what Rep. Thomas Massie, the lone Republican lawmaker to boycott the charade, described as both “political theater on behalf of the State Department,” intended to “bolster his political standing in Israel and to quell int’l opposition to his war,” and a “war rally.” As it turns out, the brave representative was absolutely right.

Indeed, the highly provocative Israeli actions of recent weeks combined with Netanyahu's asinine speech suggest that its current leadership is doing everything in its power to intentionally sabotage the ongoing negotiations and prevent a ceasefire from being implemented, preferring to escalate the conflict into a more expansive and even deadlier regional war.

The very next week, in a daring provocation that has threatened all-out regional war ever since, Israeli forces assassinated Hezbollah's top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut, along with Hamas leader Haniyah, the main Hamas negotiator in the ceasefire talks, who had just weeks earlier agreed to the ceasefire terms – terms which President Joe Biden announced Israel had also accepted; and it chose to do so on Iranian soil no less, immediately following the swearing in ceremony of the newly elected Iranian President.

This looks clearly to be an orchestrated provocation designed to sabotage the ceasefire and at the same time expand and deepen the already regional war, by drawing Iran into a war it has until now refrained from entering directly; as such high-profile assassinations as these beg for large-scale retaliations, and Hezbollah, which, despite trading fire with Israel throughout the conflict, has until now refrained from engaging in an all-out war with Israel, unlike Hamas. For to do so would put the Lebanese civilian population at much greater risk than they already are, and Israel had been focusing most of its airstrikes on Gaza, not Lebanon. That, however, soon looks to change, as Iran and Hezbollah have both promised a very serious retaliation.

Tensions in the region have escalated sharply in the few short weeks since then, as Israel has insisted on adding new demands to the previously agreed upon ceasefire terms; Hamas is no longer even taking part in the negotiations, insisting on the ceasefire framework it previously agreed to; and US officials have signaled that they will use US forces to 'defend' Israel from Iran's and Hezbollah's expected retaliatory attacks. Meanwhile the typical warhawks of the American establishment immediately began squawking about US involvement in a war on Iran just about as soon as Netanyahu stepped off of that theater stage within the walls of what was once perhaps actually known as the People's House.

The threat of a more explosive and broader regional war is a very real possibility; as, despite the US appearance of ratcheting up its pressure on Israel to cease its indiscriminate attacks on civilians and come around to a sensible ceasefire deal – one Hamas would actually accept – the very same US empire simultaneously continues along its path of unconditional support for the Zionist entity and its war, refusing to pressure it in any meaningful way at all whatsoever.

Overnight last Saturday into Sunday morning, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was arriving in Israel “to try to seal” the latest US-brokered ceasefire proposal, Israeli airstrikes yet again struck civilian targets across Gaza killing 29 people including at least 11 women and children, according to local health officials; 12 of the deaths confirmed by AP reporters, including a mother and her six children which were killed when an Israeli airstrike struck their home. This does not bode well for the prospect of peace.

The very next day, on Monday Blinken was announcing that Israel had agreed to the US-negotiated proposal, marking the end of the latest round of negotiations – likely the last – that could in theory secure a release of the hostages and bring the latest months-long episode of madness in this decades-long drama to a close. It is being presented as a take-it-or-leave-it-proposal, with the ball now in Hamas' court, and “maybe the last” and final offer Israel is willing to make, Blinken noted.

“But Hamas has expressed deep dissatisfaction with the latest proposal,” the AP reports, “and Israel has said there were points on which it was unwilling to compromise.” Plus Hamas has indicated during these latest talks that it it is fast “losing faith in the U.S. as a mediator,” accusing it of being partial to Israel and adding new demands to the previous deal Hamas has for weeks now been ready to move forward implementing – demands Hamas says it will never accept. In this case, Hamas is not at all incorrect.

The fact of the matter is that Israeli officials including Netanyahu have consistently reiterated, time and time again throughout recent weeks and months, that regardless of whether or not any deal is ever reached to bring the hostages back, the war on Gaza will nevertheless continue on until Hamas is dealt a crushing military defeat ending in “total victory,” as Netanyahu has assured us – a practical impossibility. Obviously then, unless these warmongers have had a serious change of mind overnight, there can be no way that this proposal is any kind of an actual ceasefire deal, but rather a ploy designed to get the hostages back without putting an end to Israel's ongoing war on Gaza. So while Hamas may well have started this war, it is now Israel which is intent on ensuring it will not be brought to an end.

This subversive intention to perpetuate war at any cost can be seen clearly in Netanyahu's address to congress, in which no mention at all of any plans for a ceasefire were even made. And, as even pro-Israel advocacy groups can see, this complete omission of any plan to work towards peace, particular coming at a time when a ceasefire arrangement Israel had ostensibly already agreed upon was ready to be implemented by Hamas, signals the Netanyahu coalition's true intentions, and reveals this facade to be the “illusion” that it is. From the New York Times, we read:

Jeremy Ben-Ami, the president of J Street, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group, criticized the speech for failing to offer “an actual plan for ending the war and bringing real security and peace to the region.” In a statement, he added: “His empty calls for ‘total victory’ are simply an illusion, as there is no military solution to the underlying conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.”

The recent bombardment on the eve of the finalization of the new and revised offer Israel is now making Hamas, is just another sign of its true intentions to perpetuate this war indefinitely; until either western world leaders force it to a halt, a regional war brings it to an end, or until the Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed and displaced from the Strip in order that the supremacist Jewish Zionist settler movement now in control of the government can implement its plan to occupy and settle it. Upon careful investigation, it becomes impossible not to see, as independent journalist Robert Inlakesh writes, that: “What Israel is seeking is not actually a ceasefire, it is a temporary pause with which they can gain back all their prisoners who are held in Gaza (and whom they failed to free from captivity) after which they can pick up their war effort where they left off.”

In conclusion, there are no ceasefire talks in Doha, there is simply discussion between the US and Israel, with Qatari and Egyptian delegations attending to create a meaningless debate that will be relayed back to Hamas who have lost the patience to even entertain such nonsense. If there is no ceasefire, this war will only come to a close in the event of a regional war. US propaganda will attempt to blame Hamas for the failure of this round of the negotiations and may even attempt to blame Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen’s Ansarallah. However, the reality is clear; neither Israel nor the US government want a ceasefire, and both are invested in an effort seemingly designed to annihilate, not just Gaza, but all things Palestine. 

Time will tell, but it appears the longstanding “impasse” arising from a staunch refusal to prioritize release of hostages over inherently anti-human religious and political aspirations, and to actually work towards a a viable ceasefire agreement by the extremists who have hijacked Israel, will ensure that peace for Israel and Palestine is no closer now than it was on October 7, 2023, when this all began. If the Netanyahu government actually cared about the return of the hostages and wanted peace, it wouldn't have proceeded to assassinate the man it had been negotiating a ceasefire deal with, reneged on a previously agreed upon ceasefire arrangement, goaded Iran into the conflict, and then continued to rain hellfire down on Gaza, all in an obvious attempt to set the entire region on fire and drag the US into a regional war it knows it could otherwise never win.

There can be no peace without justice, and yet neither justice nor peace seem to be anywhere in sight; and that is precisely because true justice, divine justice, is never to be found in retaliation, revenge, or punishment, but rather in forgiveness, reconciliation, and the unity of brotherhood that results.

Let us all see the reality of what is playing out on the world stage right now, refuse to feed the monster intent on perpetuating war at all costs, and then pray for peace with everything we've got; that we might hasten the day upon which humanity at last sees an end to this endless violent saga of insanity and a new dawning of that real hope of peace. The first light of which, as we’ve now seen, was once three decades ago already seen ever so briefly upon the horizon, before the very same darkness at play here now snuffed it out. The night is always darkest just before the dawn, and we are witnessing that deepest darkness, even as the first faint light of a new dawn is upon us.

One way or another, in order for the people of the land long known as Palestine to finally be free from this wicked web of darkness - which has been waging its war on humanity for so very long - and thus finally see peace, this two-headed monster must die. Whether by self-transformation or self-destruction, it matters little; there can be no other way forward to lasting peace. And it now seems more clear than ever that this monster has made its choice, and this choice is destruction, not redemption through transformation. This is no cause for hopelessness, though; as humanity is fast awakening, and the constructs of darkness which have long held her in bondage and states of perpetual war for so long are now quickly collapsing. The increasing chaos, insanity, senseless violence and extreme polarization of humanity seen on the world stage today is but proof of of this breakdown, and signs that the day of its final destruction is nigh.

A deeper meaning to it all and a reason for hope

“War makes monsters of us all. But what happens to those of us who no longer wish to be monsters?” - Kameron Hurley, ‘The Stars are Legion’

The Great Awakening sweeping the earth & the darkness we must face before the dawn of the new age of peace now upon us

There is a massive, paradigm-shifting Great Awakening sweeping the earth, and has been for four years now, ever since the dark side first overplayed its hand during the global Plandemic power grab of the COVID chaos, sparking a global revolution against the power structures of control being used to enslave the planet. The same is happening now, with the dark side again overplaying its hand, and in the process humanity has collectively again entered a new phase in its [r]evolution, increasingly awakening to the insanity this war effort truly is, and its inherently unjust nature, being anti-human to the core.

With every bomb dropped on a civilian home, with every young child murdered by an Israeli airstrike, and with every passing day Israel continues to postpone and delay implementation of any meaningful ceasefire, the blatant crime against humanity this war campaign is becomes all that much more clear to one more human soul who had before been justifying the slaughter in their own heart and mind. When this latest charade of an effort to push through a ceasefire fails to secure the release of the hostages and bring an end to the war – short of a miracle, that is – then the true nature of the darkness at play here will only become blatantly more obvious still to the world at large.

And so the bloody madness must march on, until enough of humanity recognizes it for what it truly is and moves to put it to an end. Otherwise, the vicious cycle of violence will only continue, as even a ceasefire alone would not be capable to end this conflict; and would rather only delay the next round of violence that would inevitably come, as it always does, and always will, until a lasting resolution to the conflict is worked out.

As humanity continues to awaken and liberate herself from the dis-empowering constructs that once held her in darkness, her light shining brighter every day; the darkness reacts in the only way it can – with fear, force and deception – in a desperate attempt to dim the light that is exposing its darkness for what it really is and to put out the fire this spark ever flickering in the soul humanity has lit, which will ultimately burn its castle to the ground. But the more the darkness – through the dark forces seeking to enslave the planet – does so, the more it exposes the true face of what it is, adding fuel to the very fire it would like to put out and hastening its own destruction.

And, in this self-destructive process of incessantly clinging to the dark of night come sunrise, rather then embrace the warm and healing rays of the rising sun, the old-paradigm constructs it once controlled are coming crashing down all around us; and the dark forces seeking to enslave the planet, along with all those who continue to stubbornly serve the darkness, will be swept away by the unstoppable tidal wave of change that is sweeping the planet and drowned by the very current that is meant to carry us to our salvation.

It is just as Bob Dylan once sang in truly prophetic fashion: “You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone,” for just “as the present now will soon be the past, the order is rapidly fading,” while “the battle outside raging will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls, for the times they are a changing.”

The battle raging for the soul of humanity is raging for the soul of Israel too

The battle outside is raging indeed, shaking humanity out of her slumber and rattling all of our cages – the constructs long holding the human spirit in bondage – and this battle for the very soul of humanity is perhaps more pronounced in Israel right now than anywhere else on the planet, where even the Media can no longer ignore “the battle for the soul of Israel” that is raging right alongside the violent war on Gaza. Even in Israel, where many people see only the darkness of the crazed fundamentalist extremist nuts running the country, the light is yet growing brighter by the day, as the power of awakening humanity is here to clashing with the forces of darkness attempting to snuff out humanity's light.

The families of the hostages, for example, are outraged at Netanyahu, and were as all of Israel can see that its current government cares not for the hostages, and thus neither for humanity, of which all of us are a part. A growing number of war veterans have defected from the ranks of the Zionist cult which has taken control, now using their voices to expose the injustice of their own government and stand for truth, peace, freedom and equality for all. A number of Israeli soldiers have defected from among the ranks of the Zionist war machine, while dozens of reservists called up for service are refusing to enlist their services, all these preferring to risk being thrown into prison rather than participate, or continue participating, in this unconscionable crime against humanity their overlords demand of them.

The courageous young Israelis igniting a revolution

Even from the start of the war, a number of young Israelis outright refused the mandatory military service demanded of them, seeing the reality of the situation and the plight of Palestinians under siege in Gaza; these too preferring to risk prison time rather than be made a murderer of their fellow sisters and brothers of humanity. These brave young conscientious objectors, or 'refuseniks' as they are known in Israel, often face serious consequences, with one describing how he was disowned by his family for his decision, and others being thrown behind bars.

One of these, 18 year old Tal Mitnick, paid the price for his civil disobedience, for his refusal to “be part of [the] 'eye for an eye' cycle of violence,” when he was thrown into military prison as a result.

"Before the war, the army guarded settlements, maintained the murderous siege on the Gaza Strip, and upheld the status quo of apartheid and Jewish supremacy in the land between the Jordan and the sea," Mitnick wrote in his statement.

"Since the outbreak of the war, we have not seen any call for a real policy change in the West Bank and Gaza, for an end to the widespread oppression of the Palestinian people and the bloodshed, or for a just peace. We are seeing the opposite: the deepening of oppression, the spreading of hatred, and the expansion of the fascist political persecution within Israel," he added.

In this official “statement of refusal,” entitled, There is no military solution, Mitnick notes the reality that, “According to Hamas and also to the IDF and the political echelon, violence is the only way.” Rejecting this lie for what it is, this young man sees another way forward, the way of peace that will ultimately bring peace; and so for Mitneck, there is only one reasonable response to this madness and the endless violent cycle it breeds: “I refuse to take part in a war of revenge.”

This young revolutionary no doubt inspired many others to follow in his footsteps, to walk the path of peace, to join the global revolution of love now threatening to break down the oppressive walls that are tearing humanity apart; as indeed many others have. The single spark lit by this one teenager and a handful of Israeli youth standing strong for peace and justice has ignited a fire, at first small and hardly noticeable, but which is now raging through the street of Israel, pushing it to the brink of societal collapse and threatening to burn the whole rotten Zionist house of corruption to the ground.

Israel is at the heart of the revolution now sweeping our planet, and this is exactly what it looks like: Steadfast nonviolent resistance to the corrupt and tyrannical power structures of the violent ones waging war on humanity and seeking to devour her soul – in the tradition of the likes of Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr.

The peaceful revolution of love sweeping our planet: The 2nd coming of the ‘Prince of Peace’ is already here, but people don’t see it

As a protester of the war during Vietnam once said, “You can shoot me, but you can't make me fight,” and this sentiment, albeit slowly perhaps, is nevertheless steadily growing among Israelis; and indeed throughout the whole world. And it is this type of unwavering sentiment, this sort of principled stand, which will ultimately free humanity from the chains that bind her. For such courage, and the love and commitment to that love – the willingness to endure unjust mistreatment rather than becoming part of the very same injustice one stands against – is powerful, incredibly powerful; for it is the power that can lead a revolution to victory against even the most powerful empires the world has ever seen.

As Ghandi once remarked, outlining his strategy of nonviolent resistance to the British occupation of India which was central to his freedom movement and the key to its ultimate victory – (paraphrased): 'Give me 100 principled men willing to be imprisoned for the cause as many times and for as long as it takes, and I will give India her Independence without firing a single shot.' And indeed he did. This is exactly how India won her independence from the most powerful military empire on the planet at the time, for the steadfast faith of 100 united and truly empowered souls are more powerful than the mightiest army that will ever arise upon this planet, no matter how many guns and bombs it may have.

Too many, however, still steeped in religious fundamentalism as they are, await a physical return of the Christ, or the Muslim Mahdi, or the Jewish Messiah, or another such savior waited upon to come to their rescue and save the world from this madness by way of violently destroying the 'evil' violent ones. For they cannot yet see that the long-awaited Christ, the Messiah of all, has already returned and is even now with us, in the heart and soul of all awakening humanity; and that the Prince of Peace is exactly that, and not a violent one himself. At the helm of his army, now millions strong, its ranks filled with light warriors, its numbers growing by the day; the long-awaited return of the Christ is already here, and this second coming has only just begun. So it is that, as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow morning and the rain that falls the next will not be dry, the Prince of Peace will certainly prevail against the violent ones who once did think they took his life.

And we, the true soldiers of peace among humanity, do refuse to feed the dark forces of fear, hatred and greed, and to bow at the alter of the false god of war, upon which humanity has for ages been offered up in bloody sacrifice. With truth as our weapon and courage in our hearts; with love as our captain and peace the prize; the Prince of Peace and his global army will in due time prevail to liberate the soul of humanity once and for all; and on that glorious day of divine and human triumph, the long-prophesied Golden Age of peace will finally be ushered in. Humanity is, even now, with love in her heart, already liberating herself from the clutches of the murderous monster which is destined to fall; and whose perpetual plot to prevent peace – at all costs – has now begun to cost humanity a price so very high that she is no longer willing to voluntarily pay. Thus the ceaseless plot to prevent peace and enslave Planet Earth has begun to unravel and will soon be foiled once and for all, as the new age now upon us soon replaces the old.

Free Palestine, Free Humanity, and let peace reign upon the earth

I shall now leave readers with a short but powerful video I stumbled across on X some days ago – which inspired me to undertake the task of writing this piece – along with the realization that hit me like a brick wall when I did; which in turn motivated me to embark upon this undertaking, and which I couldn't put to words any better today than when I first did with the words I wrote at the time.

“Humanity is One; We are all Palestine, and Palestine represents all of us- manipulated, oppressed, ravaged, dominated, divided and controlled, held in a prison of fear and hatred created by our oppressor- a global empire of lies. Free Palestine, free humanity, and let Peace reign.”

What more is there to say?

Since 1967, Israel has, with the help of the fundamentalist Jewish Zionist terrorists now in control of its government, been illegally occupying Palestinian and Syrian territories, unleashing campaigns of violent terror upon the Palestinians in an illegal settler colonization project, further ethnically cleansing and displacing the people of the West Bank and Gaza; while at the same time denying, since 1948, the right of return to thousands of Palestinian refugees to their homes, now in Israeli territory, which they fled to avoid the violence of that first war, and all this is according to international law. For decades, the world stood idly by, watching, or ignoring more like it, this ongoing travesty of justice, and did nothing to right this wrong. This war is the result, and now a genocide is in progress, and still, the western world leaders continue to stand idly by, doing nothing to stop it and everything needed to perpetuate this monstrous crime against humanity.

But the people of the earth are finally watching, are finally rising up, as the world can no longer bear to stand idly by; and now, at last, for the first time in history, all eyes are on Palestine.

But the Zionist empire seen violently occupying and colonizing Palestine today is but one faction of a much larger global empire; and truth be told, the same dark forces behind the senseless slaughter in Gaza, and the senseless slaughter in Israel on October 7, are also behind the war in Ukraine, and the war in Yemen and Syria and Libya and and Iraq and Afghanistan before that; and they are attempting to colonize the entire planet, and they have for ages been occupying all of humanity, long before Israel was born in 1948. There is a global occupation of this planet, there has been for some time; and now humanity is at last rising up, hand in hand with the Palestinians and Israelis alike, in resistance to this global empire of lies and its global occupation of our beautiful planet, and its plan to enslave us all.

We are living in the times when the Palestinian struggle for justice, peace and freedom – which is but a reflection of the whole human struggle for the same – reaches its culmination, being but one reflection of our greater collective human struggle. And so it is that the Palestinian cry has, in large part because of this tragic war, become the cry of all awakening humanity, as the heartbeat of the Palestinians is absorbed into the heartbeat of all humanity, our hearts beating to the same rhythm as one heart, a rhythm which will in turn set all of us free; heard in the rally cry of millions across the planet, echoing through time and space ever louder by the day – 'Free, Free, Palestine!'

'What do we want?'

'Justice!'

'For who?'

'Palestine!'

And so shall it be, that from the river to sea, Palestine will be free; free from her past, her oppressors, and the poison of colonialism, racism, apartheid and supremacism; free from the poison of Zionism and Islamic Jihadism alike – one land, one nation, one people united – proud to live together as brothers and sisters under the same sun, the same King which is Love; with freedom, justice, and equality afforded to all. And on that day, all of the Palestinians whose families were born upon this beautiful land will have the right of return granted which they have for so long sought, the right to live together at peace and in harmony with all of the Israelis who also now know no other home, and seek peace and freedom just as badly as they do.

And finally, that long awaited day shall arrive when the ancient city of Jerusalem,“The City of Peace” – her streets for so long stained with the innocent blood of her prophets and her people – shall at last dwell in peace; at last making holy the 'holy land' that until this day has truly never been. And so too shall it be across all of this beautiful earth, and humanity shall at last be free. One day...

Let us hasten that day and never forget, that the peace and freedom humanity ever hopes and yearns to see, will be here just as soon as enough of us decide that it's here.

“One day this all will change, treat people the same; stop with violence, stop with the hate; one day we'll all be free, and proud to be under the same sun; sing a song of freedom like, one day, one day...” - Matisyahu, 'One Day'

“All of the flavors, colors and creeds; Take to the streets, powerful peace; That's what we need, solidarity; Resist temptation, abandon the greed; I'm planting the seed, what we believe; Changing the system, no more division; Trust in the vision, First People wisdom; About damn time that we all start listening!” - Will Evans & Ben Fagan, 'Adam and Eve'
