Al-Aqsa Flood - two years on

The first casualty of war is usually the truth. Therefore, on this second anniversary of the Great Gaza Jailbreak, let me remind ourselves of some important truths.

- Israel is not at war with Hamas, rather, it is fighting a genocidal campaign of extermination of Palestinians and their identity in order to appropriate their land and its resources.

- This did not start on October 7 but over a hundred years ago when Britain, entrusted with the mandate to safeguard the interest of Palestine after they had destroyed the Ottoman Empire and Caliphate in the First World War (of which it was an integral part until then) betrayed their trust and instead encouraged and facilitated the mass migration of East European (non-semitic) Jews with a false historic claim to the land of Palestinian (semitic) Arabs and Jews.

- After the Second World War the victors established a new world order to exclusively suit their purpose. Since then it has consistently served the interests of Israel to the detriment of Palestine and exempted Israel from compliance with the international order and rules they imposed on all other nations. By now, the UN and its international order has been exposed as meaningless in front of the populations of the world.

- Arab and Muslim post-colonial governments were installed by the former colonial powers and have been complicit ever since to ensure the unimpeded flow of resources from their lands to the coffers of the Anglo-American beneficiaries.

- Gaza has been under siege for almost two decades as well as under regular bombardment (“mowing the lawn”). In the West Bank every so-called peace initiative bought time for more illegal settlements, occupation and annexation.

- When resistance groups managed to break the siege of Gaza on 7 October 2023, their aim was to take prisoners of war from the nearby Israeli “security” garrisons in order to bargain with them for the release of nearly ten thousand Palestinian hostages held under inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons. They could hardly believe their luck when they found many of the occupation outposts carelessly unguarded and also stumbled across a music festival, thus not taking back only a few dozen but hundreds of captives.

- Israel is a militarised state. Every Israeli adult has absolved compulsory military service. There are no civilians other than children and foreigners. With the exception of those (for example, some Thai prisoners whom the resistance released during each exchange without the Israeli government actually wanting them released), all so-called hostages are prisoners of war. Customarily, prisoners of war are exchanged after the end of hostilities not during an ongoing confrontation.

- The resistance did not kill, pillage, rape during the event. The large death toll is due to the Israeli Hannibal directive which states that it is preferable to kill their own people than having them taken prisoner by the enemy. The images of large numbers of charred cars is visual evidence that this directive was followed since you can’t burn a car to ashes with a Kalashnikov and only Israel had the advanced weapons to cause such destruction.

- Israel has sought to maximise civilian casualties throughout their revenge campaign in order to make Gaza unliveable for its people and force them in to exile.

- There is no meaningful difference between Israel and the United States of America except in the sense of the good cop/bad cop (or rather bad cop/worse cop) scenario. They are run by the same people.

- Neither Israel nor America were ever interested in a genuine peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Each time America sent its Zionist Jewish envoys and “mediators” it was to appease public opinion and provide cover for the ongoing ethnic cleansing.

- Within two years Israel (and America) has lost all credibility and been unmasked as the inhumane psychopathic entity it is, a stain on civilisation and humanity; the holocaust has lost its currency and the anti-semitism charge hurled by non-semitic East European Jews against semitic Arabs and their supporters has lost its sting.

- Israel is its own worst enemy due to its arrogant disregard for the rest of the world. For example, they could have processed Flotilla members with decency after abducting them in an act of piracy in international waters to literally take the “wind out of their sails”; instead they gave them the treatment they give to Palestinians held in their dungeons, thereby opening a window onto their dark practices and Satanic mindset for all to see and witness.

- The idea of Greater Israel is not a new one, it is as old as the Israel project itself.

- The bombing of Qatar was a warning that any country not subservient to their interests will get the Gaza/Lebanon/Syria/Iran treatment.

- It is highly likely that the Qatari government was in on the plan to assassinate Hamas negotiators who only escaped because they left their phone behind when going for prayer, thus giving false location details. If the Qatari leadership was not party to the plan, then it was highly naïve, ignorant and negligent in outsourcing all of its own security to the US. There is no way that the US did not have knowledge of Israeli jets overflying Saudi Arabia and being refuelled by British planes within Qatari airspace prior to dropping their bombs. The American and Israeli apologies and expressions of regret are meaningless theatre.

- Trump’s “peace” plan is a command to the resistance to surrender with the twist of asking the Arab and Muslim nations to bring this about after Israeli bombardment failed to achieve this aim. The Arabs, of whom Trump only recently collected tributes, are also expected to foot the bill for reconstructing Gaza as a new Anglo-American colony with an American overlord (currently Donald Trump) and British governor general (currently Tony Blair). The Americans think that the Arabs are stupid and they are probably right.

- There is no diplomatic solution to the so-called “conflict” and the “two state” illusion is an impossibility. Even if the Palestinian state dangled as a carrot for so long came about in the shape outlined by the Palestinian Authority (demilitarised and emasculated with its borders and resources controlled by its Israeli neighbour), it would only be another temporary step before Israel continues its ethnic cleansing extermination exercise.

- US/Israel hostility to Iran have nothing whatsoever to do with nuclear capability but with the Iranian support for the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon. The Israeli-blessed “revolution” in Syria installed a known terrorist on the American Al-Qaeda payroll as pseudo-legitimate president (now with his own non-elected, appointed parliament also) for the benefit of Israeli expansionism and to cut the resistance supply line. It was widely celebrated by Muslims in the West, demonstrating that the Arabs are not the only stupid (see above) consumers of Zionist propaganda.

- Iranian efforts to continue diplomacy are a complete waste of time. There is no point negotiating with countries who break their promises as soon as they give them. American-Israeli diplomacy is only aimed at one thing: total subjugation and surrender to their demands. This is what they are asking of Hezbollah and Hamas as well as Iran.

- Liberties were never graciously granted by an oppressor; they were always wrestled of them, usually through armed struggle and insurrection.

- This struggle will not remain limited to the “Middle East” (it is geographically middle East only from a European perspective), it will sooner or later also be waged in the colonising countries who have enabled and supported the Israel project for decades, and is not likely going to be limited to isolated incidents (such as the recent Manchester synagogue car ramming in which the anti-semitic Manchester police shot Jewish worshippers and of which the anti-semitic British prime minister took advantage to further his political game of consolidating the police state and prescribing legitimate protest). Western governments are debt-financed for the benefit of Zionist-controlled financial institutions; ever higher tax charges go directly to finance the Zionist project both through interest payments and through an ever-increasing “defence” budget providing the arms for offensives by Zionist warlords. As frustration grows amongst a population, many of whom have already lost their wage-earning jobs to technology and artificial intelligence, the state has to become ever more repressive. Since every action has an equal and opposite reaction, people will more and more face up to their governments.

- Israel on its own is already morally bankrupt and economically and socially exhausted. It will not last another two years without imploding. Some Zionists argue that it is better to let the colonial project go before they lose control everywhere else also, but it seems that the religious fanatics amongst them will win the day; therefore, the international order will also collapse in the medium-term. In spite of the sacrifices and suffering this brings, it will be for the better from a humanity point of view.

- David versus Goliath: the achievements of the resistance against the Israel/American superpower have resonated with movements and ordinary people around the globe. This momentum is likely going to increase as the repression continues. Change is often turbulent but once freed from their shackles, people tend to manage their affairs quite well.

A lot has happened during the past two years owing to the unimaginable sacrifice of the Palestinian people. The next two years are likely going to be even more eventful and will hopefully give us all some respite.
