Finkelstein: "Israel Is A Lunatic State. Certifiably Crazy."
There is a huge insatiable bloodlust in Israel.
There are two poles for the entire Israeli spectrum. One pole is the pole of “crackpot realists” who see war as the only answer to every question even as they acknowledge that war will not solve any problems. It’s their first and last reflex.
At the other end of this very narrow spectrum are those who advocate for “The Samson Option” — either pretend to be crazy to terrify your enemies and your allies, that if they don’t do Israel’s bidding, Israel will bring down the temple on everybody’s head.
And there are those who are not simply pretending to be crazy by advocating “The Samson Option,” they ARE crazy. They’re lunatics.
There is a significant portion of Israel’s political spectrum that is either pretending to be crazy or actually is crazy. It’s not even the subject matter of Monty Python. This is lunacy run amok.
If even only half of Israeli society and only half of the Israeli political elite think this, and in my opinion, it’s much more than half, the place is crazy!
There are those who are prepared in the name of their “holy cause” who think their backs are up against the wall to “bring down the whole temple” meaning “all the goyim are going to go with us.” It’s a very scary prospect now.
Americans Have Become Nobodies!
Evil is completely dependent on the good it attempts to destroy. When good discovered fire, invented the wheel, and started planting seeds, evil invented government. Evil produces nothing, it only commands, coerces, enslaves, destroys, and murders. Gigantic tombs loom over Egypt’s desert, built by slaves millennia ago, monuments to rulers’ vanity. A single farmer working the Nile’s alluvial soil produced more than any pharaoh, yet the former had to send a portion of his crop to the latter.
Nothing has changed since then. How do the production and lives of the good become the property of evil? Force, fear, and fraud are the usual answers, but they can’t be the entire answer. Rulers and their military and police forces are always vastly outnumbered by the ruled. Revolts have brought down countless governments. Yet, why have most people down through the ages not revolted but endured the force, fear, and fraud? The trick is to get the ruled to assign their right in their own lives to the rulers, acting as the purported agent of a collective.
If the mass of people accept the proposition that there is a cause or causes greater than themselves, the rest is easy. So, find a greater cause—God, country, fighting evil enemies domestic or foreign, fighting a deadly germ, safety, the common good, the public interest, global warming, global cooling, climate change—the list is endless. The people will fight wars, pay taxes, comply with every absurd law and regulation, mask up, lockdown, take deadly vaccines, embrace misery, and line up for the concentration camps. Who am I, they might ask, to question, to object, to fight, to revolt?
They’ve already answered that question. They’ve surrendered their lives and souls; they are nobodies. Figuratively and perhaps literally, these corpses will join the stack in the ditch or the ashes in the crematorium. The rulers expertly play their emotions, but what stirs their greatest passion is the occasional odd man or woman out—the ones who refuse to assign their lives to the collective. The nothings burn the somethings at the stake; self-loathing finds its expression in destruction and death. By a wide margin no person or institution has caused more destruction and death than governments.
"You Are Quite Openly Jewish": London Police Under Fire For Confrontation With Genocidal Jew Near Peace March
Falter was also correctly told that openly being a genocidal anti-Gentile apartheid regime supporting Jew near such a peace march was "antagonizing"...
Authored by Jonathan Turley: The London police are the ones under fire this week for threatening to arrest a genocidal Jew wearing a skull cap near a pro-Palestinian anti-apartheid anti-genocide march. You read that correctly, THE POLICE are the ones in trouble and not the evil genicidal apartheid regime supporting ultra racist scum sucking JEW. What's wrong with this image of UK life today?
Officers inform Gideon Falter, head of the ridiculous Campaign Against Antisemitism watchdog, that he was “antagonizing” the protesters by being “openly Jewish” near such a peace march. He was told that, if he tried to cross the street while being “openly Jewish,” he would be arrested for breach of the peace.
In the video, one police officer said: “You are quite openly Jewish, this is a pro-Palestinian march, I’m not accusing you of anything but I’m worried about the reaction to your presence.”
Another officer then added later: “You will be escorted out of this area so you can go about your business, go where you want freely or, if you choose to remain here, because you are causing a breach of peace with all these other people, you will be arrested.”
US To Sanction Entire Baby Murdering & Rapist Jewish Green Shirt [IDF] Gang Over Their Many Human Rights Abuses
Bibi 'The Baby Butcher' Netanyahu livid, laughably condemns expected move as "the height of absurdity and a moral low."
By Tyler Durden: Axios is reporting what marks an unexpected and unprecedented development in US-Israel relations: the Biden administration will in the coming days announce sanctions against an entire battalion of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Three US officials told the outlet that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will unveil the punitive measures against the IDF’s "Netzah Yehuda" battalion for its committing so many human rights abuses against Palestinians in West Bank mega concentration camp. It is an Jewish brigade founded in 1999 in coordination with rabbis who sought to allow easier entry into the military of a religious community which typically rejects national service.
The evil Green Shirts have also served in Gaza mega concentration camp operations, as well as in the north of Israel. The Times of Israel has highlighted, "The battalion has been at the center of several controversies in the past connected to right-wing extremism and violence against Palestinians, notably including the 2022 death of Omar As’ad, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American who died after being detained, handcuffed, blindfolded, and later abandoned in near-freezing conditions by soldiers of the battalion."
"Seven Fucking Dollars!": Social Media Influencer Rages After Paying $7 For An Apple At Whole Foods
“Genuinely what economy are we all fucking living in that it costs 7 dollars to buy an apple?"
By Tyler Durden: We're being told that Bidenomics is working and that inflation is under control.
Yet, when we see articles about shoppers in America paying $7 for an apple, it's hard to make peace with the narrative the current administration is trying to convince its populace of.
That was the case last week
when a Boston-based influencer took to Tik Tok to claim that she paid $7
for an apple - and only an apple - at a Whole Foods, according to a report by the NY Post.
“Literally just did grocery shopping at Whole Foods and look at this. Guess how much this is. This is an apple, it’s called a Sugarbee fucking apple apparently and look at it,” she said.
She continued: “The size of my palm. I thought it was like probably 2 to 3 dollars. I scanned this motherfucker I scanned it — 7 fucking dollars, 7!”

UNICEF: The Jews Killed Or Injured One Child In Gaza Every Ten Minutes – Genocide Day 196
The plight of children in Gaza; waste crisis, water crisis, respiratory illnesses plague Gaza; 2024 Freedom Flotilla participants assemble; Jews' massive raid in Tulkarem’s Nur Shams camp with multiple murders and rapes; US house passes bill that includes $13B aid package to Israel; more
By IAK staff, from reportsI left Gaza yesterday after spending two weeks there. It was my second mission into Gaza this year.
By far, what struck me most about this mission was the number of wounded children – not just in the hospitals, but on the streets. In their makeshift shelters. Going about their now permanently altered lives.
Children are wearing a tremendous share of the scars of this war.
The thousands of injured in Gaza struggle to receive the medical care they need…injured children often languish in pain.
