(8o) The war of Israel against Palestinians - May/June 2024

FB 02/05/2024 - It is not antisemitism to oppose a genocide

Mr Bernie Sanders, a Jew, explains very well why it is not antisemitic 
- to point out how Israel's government has killed close to 35,000 Palestinians of which half are children. 
- that destruction of schools and hospitals is against any international law. 
- that very likely humanitarian organisations are not siding with Hamas against Israel when they condemn the acts of violence against civilians. 

Jews should know best what it is to be imprisoned in camps when foreigners claim the land is theirs and want to plant their symbols in the country they occupy. It is colonisation. Feeling "chosen", it makes people dangerous. PM Netanyahu is probably also right that this may end with another attack against Jews - but, maybe more likely by those who support Israel now to forward their own agenda.


FB 04/05/2024 - Reliving the 1930s 

How we seem to reliving the 1930s when extreme right came to the defence of Israel by attacking the camp of those who are called pro-Palestinian protestors. They stormed the camp and seemingly only hours later the police showed the violence should stop, after which the Israel supporters left. No-one of those who started the violence were arrested, while those who protested to demand the end of the mass murder against Palestinians, mainly in Gaza, were arrested. 

We should not forget that also Hitler at the start of his regime allowed Jews to return to Israel until he became fed-up with them and targeted them. Will the extreme right be nicer towards Jews this time? From what I read years ago on their websites I fear they may not as Jews in Israel are only useful to progress the extreme right Christian agenda. Or how they act as prophesied.

Similar how climate activists are increasingly targeted, just when the science behind climate change becomes visible in extreme weather events.



A Gazan surgeon wants to testify about war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. Indeed, a collective punishment of people of whom many are innocent is against any international law. The surgeon was refused entry in Berlin, Germany, and now it seems he is banned throughout the Schengen countries on the request of Germany. 

In the 1930s and 40s, Germany was the main actor in the extermination of Jews, but also other groups such as LGBTQs, gypsies, Polish, and many more. One would have thought Germany learned from its part. Still, instead of giving up half of Germany so Jews could create a safe area, it allowed Jews to go to Israel because they lived there 2000 years ago. And thus the original people, Palestinians of whom many are likely descendents of Jews who over centuries converted to Islam to survive, were forced out their homes to live in concentration camps.

Now Germany allows Jews to destroy the history of the original inhabitants, maybe in the hope this will solve the problem of having European Jews. Yes, prophecies foretell three times we have an evil empire, the fourth time it will be different. But, this should not result in allowing Jews to do evil to others, and suggesting aid organisations, healthcare professionals, media, the UN Secretary-General, and others are bad. The time for Germany to help Jews will come when extreme right will start to target Jews. 

For Jews, yes, if prophecies are right, a thousand years will await to try to reverse the evil Jews did to others because they want to rebuild their God named Temple, before your curse will be lifted. Know your prophecies.



US President Biden no longer wants to be complicit in the killing of ten thousands of Palestinians. 

Indeed, Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorists who will claim they only fight against people who came as colonists to their region since WWII to evict people who lived there from their properties, this against any international law such as the creation of two states. It reminds us about apartheid in South Africa where the ANC were considered to be terrorists. 

Further, an ally tries to prevent that a friend becomes the pariah of the world by committing violence against civilians, including destruction of schools and hospitals. This may further radicalise Palestinians to revenge their deaths, and as they have nothing left to lose, allowing extremist Jews to kill more Palestinians as they become terrorists. A tactic used throughout the Old Testament when Jews return to Israel. Did this resulted in allies for the Jews?



Israel, you can't win. People protests against support for Israel as that results in the death of ten thousands of innocent people, and a few terrorists. People protests against stopping weapon deliveries as Israel is in a fight against Hamas that justifies an unlimited number of Palestinian deaths. A US President stuck in the middle. 

Indeed, a god may exist as worldwide troubles erupt around such a small country, and as prophesied. Just as in the past religions were founded around Jesus and Muhammed, two men who didn't write a single letter on paper but resulted in two religions with each having more than 1 billion followers. In the end, three religions need to combine into one. The whole world can watch via TV and Internet.



How the Eurovision Song Festival can't stay out of politics. Israel killed 35000 people, most of whom where not involved in Hamas' attack against Israeli civilians, but Israel can sing in the contest.
The Dutch performer makes a hand movement against a female camerawoman that he didn't want to be filmed after his performance, and he is banned from the final. A surprise? Earlier he was sceptical against Israel's presence at the competition.



Strange that we still don't know what happened in Mälmo that was so serious that the Euvision Song Festival decided to ban the Netherlands from participating. It seems a camerawoman was filming Mr Klein, while no images are public to justify the disqualification. Did the camera not work? Can you have such a severe punishment without clear clarification, blaming police that investigates? Or, was his criticism of Israel the real reason he was silenced?
Now Sweden mourns the attention was more towards politics than the festival. When thousands of people are killed, business-as-usual is no longer possible.



If it was a film, it would be a comedy. There is the threat that Israel will attack Rafah, so Palestinians are leaving, and Israel also starts to re-attack the north where people may be moving to, and thus Palestinians run from one place to another. Unless they die from being shot or hunger. Until Egypt or other countries will open their borders so Palestinians will leave Israel.
That moment, PM Netanyahu can order the total destruction of anything not Jewish, starting with what is Islam to create a pure Jewish-only country. Still, likely not every Jew will benefit from an only Jewish country. Then Israel can start with the rebuilding of the Temple, and supported by Christian extremists as each group hopes it will bring their saviour with the destruction of the others. Yes, these people are adults 🙄 But, it is also unbelievable that many organisations who are not involved in this power game continue to trade with those who oppress and kill.


FB 18/05/2024 - How religious people hate a good God (link no longer available)

So true. All those religious people who speak about their good God, but then many can only spread hate such as racism while they are anti-science and anti-progress, anti-LGBTQ+, anti equal rights for men and women, at least if it doesn't concern themselves.
It is so boring to waste time on old books to explain why people may be wrong when they claim religions are about hating others, whether human, animal or plant. While those books seem to warn against feeling better than others, and why we need to care for our planet such as diverse away from fossil fuels and mass destruction as those damage our planet while result in inequality. Those books warn that if we continue as we do disasters will happen, not because we give equal rights to people who are different, whether in skin colour, religion, gender or sexuality. Yes, they say we want to take away their right to hate, while they take every opportunity to take away the right of others to take their own decisions.
In her anger, she can still articulate herself very well. And more people will become angry, just as those religious people fear.



The International Criminal Court issued a balanced decision against both Hamas leaders and Israeli government officials, even when PM Netanyahu doesn't like to be placed at the same level as Hamas.
Indeed, what Hamas did was terrible, even after decades of Palestinians being removed from their properties and homes by Israeli settlers, ie extreme rightwing Jews. Jews should know what it means to be removed from the properties. Still, Hamas should not have targeted Israeli civilians who were having a party.
But, although Israel was allowed to defend itself after the attack, it should do so in proportion and not a collective punishment of all Palestinians. In effect, it is an acceleration of the removal of Palestinians from their properties to create an ethnically pure state. Similar as Hitler wanted an ethnically pure German state that removes opponents.
The reaction against Hamas should have been in proportion. An example is when the USA found Osama bin Laden. The US military didn't bomb the whole Pakistani town as punishment for hiding bin Osama (it seems many Pakistani didn't even know he was hiding there), but a special force neutralised, ie killed bin Laden, and normal people didn't mind this was done.
And thus PM Netanyahu is now also wanted by the ICC. Indeed, prophesies predict a Jewish leader will act as a madman, and eventually fall. It can't be that the whole world is wrong.


FB 22/05/2024 - ICC defends its decision

A very well written analysis why the ICC prosecutor is right to not only bring to court human right violations against Hamas leaders, but also against two Israeli ministers.
The West claims to have the moral right. But, because of mainly Germany's, but also other European countries involvement in the near total extermination of Jews during WWII, Germany with other Western countries close their eyes for atrocities committed by Israel against a people. Of whom many are likely to have Jewish ancestors who converted to Islam when their territories were conquered.
This illustrates the fall of the West as other parts of the world are starting to raise their voices. Indeed, they understand what it is when white people invade other people's territories to destroy local cultures to replace with their own.
Posts on the Internet by extremist Christians also inform why they help Israel. Because they want the Temple to be rebuilt that is claimed can only happen when Israel starts from zero, thus destruction of centuries old cultures. But, those Christians also warm that Jews will have to convert to Christianity or be killed so the Christian messiah can return. Utter madness. But policies favoured by extremists of all three religions as they want a reward for their support of Israel. While we should support each other.


FB 29/05/2024 - Israel killed by mistake

O irony. The day Israel's PM Netanyahu said the attack on the refugee camp in Rafah that killed 45 Gazans was a mistake, another attack killed more Gazans. And the bombing continues. It is a clear middle finger towards the International Criminal Court that demanded Israel stops the indiscriminately destruction of Gaza and killing of its citizens.
Some people don't mind as they say that Hamas are extremists who, amongst others, kill LGBTQ people. But, do they think the settlers who defend the murder of 15,000 Palestinian children, are any better? I read that after the formation of the current extreme right Israeli government, a number of LGBTQ Jews were leaving the country for fear what may come. Also PM Netanyahu said LGBTQ people don't need to fear, and we know his word means nothing. Also the position of women will likely become worse if Israel's extremist government wins. Since the formation of that government, Israeli Jews have demonstrated, and up to this moment, against their own government. Do they fear what may happen amongst Jews when Palestinians are defeated and no longer the common enemy?


FB 30/05/2024 - God or no God, people can do evil (link no longer available)

When there is no God, people can do as they wish is the argument of certain religious people. This argument is rebuked. In the video.
But, when people fear hell, they can also do wrong because they think their God wants evil to be done to others. Indeed, the abortion and LGBTQ issues that are under attack by religious people are examples of evils done in the hope that those who impose their evils on others will go to heaven. But, will it, or will those increasingly extremist religious people fasten their own descend into hell as they hurt others for no other reason than they hope it will benefit them both in life and afterlife.


FB 02/06/2024 - Settlers versus settlers

A minority within a minority of settlers inside Israel. While the majority of settlers in Israel do everything possible to exterminate Palestinians so they can take all of their land, including blocking trucks with aid, a small group of people are different.
These Jews want peace with Palestinians. Are they the future? But, will the extremist settlers allow that Jews block them, or will they use violence as the peace activists fear may happen. Will they win, or will settlers win? Will an evil god back those who kill? Or will that god support those who want peace?



Already 80 years that D-day started that resulted in the liberation from dictatorship after WWII. Many people died. We must remember and honour those who fought for our freedom, and of whom only a few remain alive today.
Therefore it is also unbelievable that we live today in a world that again has become unstable, with leaders who also remember the end of that terrible war, and still don't trust the other side.



It is difficult to understand. But, does Hezbollah want the same response from Israel in Lebanon as against Hamas in Gaza?

Ex-PM Berlusconi

Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi is gone, finally. And replaced by an economist, Mr Monti. But, is Mr Berlusconi gone? As an article in The Guardian by Roberto Saviano mentioned, Berlusconi-ism is still present in Italy. Also, as the country has to reform, and this will hurt people, I think Berlusconi might come back by the next election as people might remember that his government was stable and people earned money and had a better time (most people's long-term memory works only for good things while the bad things are forgotten). I think Mr Berlusconi and his party might hope people will hate the present government with its technocrats and remember that each time the Left was in power in recent years, politicians try to reduce the deficit, therefore hurting the people. (But each time Berlusconi was not re-elected, the new government had to correct the bad decisions made by the government of PM Berlusconi as Mr Berlusconi only worked for its own interests.) Still I think his party ...

(07a) My Answers to Questions about what is the ideal economy (in the near future).

Image
During this crisis, many in power always talk about the need for a growing economy to end this crisis (such as the need for ever higher house prices). Here I will try to discuss why growth is not a necessity to have a healthy economy and a happy society. Maybe on the contrary. For instance, when every country on this planet has developed to the level of the West, how can the West then continue to be "better" than the rest (certainly when at the same time people in the West are losing what they saved and thus move in the direction of lesser-developed countries)? Most of what I write below is so obvious people reading this may wonder why they waste their time; still we forgot to implement them in life. Question : How does the ideal economy looks like in a graph (according me)? Answer : After a p eriod of almost continuous growth that accelerated over the past decades, in 2007-2008 this growth came to an abrupt end when the economic and financial crisis start...

(03d) The Three-Power system. How I think it should be in politics.

A country should always be rules by three powers and these powers should be equal: Head of State (government), Jurisdiction and Parliament . These three powers should control and balance each other. As long as each power accepts its own strengths and limitations while it also accepts the other powers' equal status, the powers can do their own duty. But each power is necessary to prevent the other powers becoming arrogant and corrupt due to too much power. One of the best examples in history is Emperor Augustus, first emperor of the Roman Empire. I am not sure how dirty he played the game to become the only ruler but ones emperor he tried (mostly) to make decisions with respect for the Senate and in the interest of the people, thus he accepted he had limitations and could not do whatever he wanted  (but he was a also a child of his time with his mistakes) . But by accepting this and wondering what the Senate (and the people) might think about his decision s (without trying t...
