“…a tissue of lies.”

 

This post is an answer to criticism of my previous post, Genocide and Hypocrisy
Charlie is my critic, and his writings appear after my sharing Genocide and Hypocrisy on the Facebook group, Humboldt Progressives.

Charlie:  “The first paragraph is a tissue of lies, ”
Moi: 
Ok, well let’s look at it carefully.

My first sentence:  It seems that the whole world is focused on Israel and “Palestine.”   Ok, well that admittedly is a bit of hyperbole.  The “whole world” is obviously not focused on the Middle East.  But a lot of folks are, and certain news outlets seem to put news of the Gaza/Israel War upfront and center, but although there is a great deal of attention, it is certainly not “the whole world.” One point for Charlie.

My second sentence: “Groups on both the Left and the Right accuse Israel of the most heinous crimes, among them being GENOCIDE or more subtly, ETHNIC CLEANSING.”
This is relatively true. (The Left Wing) Google the word “genocide” and the Israel/Gaza conflict is mentioned in the fifth reference. The ADL offers a list on their website, Most of these groups have the word “palestine” or “palestinian” in their titles.  But if you look around, you can find others. On the Left:  Communist Party of the USA, Democratic Socialists of America,  and surprisingly, they are the only two. I looked at the IWW, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and a few others.  Reference is made to the HAMAS/Israel War on all of these, but you really have to dig to find it.  The issue is not on their home pages at all. The bottom line is that for most Left Wing organizations, Israel/”palestine” has become a non-issue or an issue on the back burner. Another point for Charlie.

The Right Wing:  I scanned some of the worst of the Right Wing sites, American Nazi Party, was antisemitic, but nothing about Israel.   I looked for a website for the Ku Klux Klan, but found nothing. I am guessing that this has to do with the fact that Israeli Hackers took the Klan site down! Family Research Council: They had nothing to say either way concerning Israel.  This is surprising, as I thought I would find very pro sentiment on the Christian Nationalist organizations site.  CN’s believe we should support Israel in order to bring about the return of Christ. Some of them actually believe that Donald Trump is the second coming of Christ. Boy, are they misguided! This search was a dead end.  Now that’s three points for Charlie.

Charlie: “….the rest mostly hysterical accusations.”
Moi:  There is nothing like an adnominal attack to make things interesting. This possibly means that Charlie didn’t actually read past the first paragraph.  Can Charlie read? No bother. Here, underlined,  are links for each “hysterical accusation” I made:

SYRIA: Since 2011, 500,000 have died, I was off a little. The death toll stands at 507,000.

UKRAINEIn it’s retreat the Russian army is leaving behind mass graves and other evidence of atrocities committed against Ukrainian citizens.

ETHIOPIASince 2020, mass killings, rape, starvation the destruction of schools and medical facilities, forced displacement and arbitrary detention . . . .

CHINA: More than 1 million Uyghurs have been raped, tortured and killed . . .

MYANMARSince 2017, 730,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh. Those remaining face killings, rape, torture, arson, enforced disappearances, extortion, and the withholding of medical care and food.

SUDAN:  10,000 killed, 4.5 million displaced, 1.2 million (mostly women and girls) fled to neighboring countries.

IRAQ:  50,000 Kurds dead, 4,000 villages destroyed.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC50,000 dead. 1.5 million displaced.

YEMEN: 100,000 killed, 40,000 direct casualties

So, Charlie, do you still think these are “hysterical accusations?”  <sigh> If that’s how you feel about it, then that’s how you feel about it. IS THAT HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT IT?

I might be wrong, but I think Charlies problem is that he just hates Jews, and since Jews aren’t bein accused of these other atrocities, they don’t actually exist.

Democracy Now! — is now Hamas Now!

 

Democracy Now used to be a Progressive bastion of well written and accurate news source for all things Progressive and democratic. At least this was true ten years ago.  Over the past ten years however, it has become less and less “accurate” and much more so a voice for anti-semitism and anti-Zionist propaganda.

Tonight I visited their website (democracynow.org) and noticed that the ‘headlines” section was heavily weighted against Israel and for “palestine.” There were eleven articles, all weighted with anti-Zionist propaganda, as opposed to another eleven articles on almost any other topic. The anti-semitic articles were loaded with the usual buzzwords:  “apartheid,” “settler colonialism,” “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,’’ “occupation,” ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

They didn’t mention the growing fashion trend in Gaza and Judea/Samaria of Burkas.  They didn’t mention the number of LGBTQ Arabs that were thrown off the tops of high rises in Gaza, or the number of children being used as human sheilds by Hamas terrorists who were subsequently killed. They are in total denial of the October 7th massacre or the torture, rapes and beheadings that occurred that day against unarmed civilians (and documented via body cams worn by the terrorists). Democracy Now(!) didn’t mention the 1,000s gunned down at the Re’im Music Festival.

You see, Democracy Now!s Amy Goodman maintains that Israel can do nothing right. She believes that the Jews need to be eliminated from “the river to the sea’ and that every lie ever told about Jews for the last 2,000 years is correct.  She believes that Hitler should have finished the job (on the other hand, she will simultaneously deny that the Holocaust ever happened).

Progressives have lost what once was a fair and accurate news source.  That just leaves us MSNBC, and even they are starting to drink the “palestinian kool aid.”

There already are TWO STATES – ISRAEL AND JORDAN

 

I’ve said this before and I will say it again and again and again until every one finally groks it: there is now, and has been since 1921, an Arab/Palestinian state.

Let’s look at the history: The Balfour Declaration promised that Palestine (the Mandate for Palestine) would be a national home for Jews. Mandatory Palestine consisted of what is today Jordan and Israel. In 1921 the Brits hived off 2/3s of that land and gave it to the Arabs, thus creating Jordan. Therefore, the Brits instituted two states. Jordan is the Arab state and Israel is the Jewish state. The flags of Palestine and Jordan tell the tale, as they are almost identical.

 

(Flag of Palestine)

 

 

 

 

 

(Flag of Jordan)

 

Are you “Palestinian” and you don’t like Jews? Then you should migrate to your own country, Palestinian Jordan. That’s my take anyway.

On Mankind and Nature

 

A zygote is a gamete’s way of producing more gametes.
This may be the purpose of the universe.

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who “love Nature” while deploring the “artificialities” with which “Man has spoiled ‘Nature.”” The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are NOT part of “Nature” — but beavers and dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers’ purposes) and his hatred of dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the “Naturalist” eveals his hatred for his own race — i.e., his own self hatred.

n the case of “Naturalists” such self-hatred is understandable; they are a very sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.

As for me, willy-nilly, I am a man, not a beaver, and Homo Sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being a part of a race made up of women and men — it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly “natural.”

Believe it or not, there were “Naturalists” who opposed the first flight to old Earth’s Moon as being “unnatural” and a “despoiling of Nature.”

If man is a part of “Nature,” and I beleive we are, how can we produce anything that is not natural? Everything that we can make anything out of occurs in Nature, and nowhere else. Just like the beaver, we produce things for our own use and (generally) for the good of our fellow human kind.

On the other hand, there is evidence that suggests that Homo Sapiens is not indigounous to this planet. Our spinal cords do not seem to be made for the gravity on this planet. This explains why millions of people endure back problems. of course it could mean that graviity on the planet increased after our evelution.

I really don’t know. Do you? Does anyone?


Genocide and Hipocrisy

 

It seems that the whole world is focussed on Israel and “Palestine.”  Groups on both the Left and the Right accuse Israel of the most heinous crimes, among them being GENOCIDE or more subtly, ETHNIC CLEANSING.  But the fact of the matter is that Israel is only trying to defend herself. Nothing more.  There is no plan to systematically strip Arabs of their rights, prohibit them from certain professions, or to expel them from the land completely.

There are places on this planet where Genocide is really taking place:

SYRIA: Since 2011, 500,000 have died, 10+ million have been displaced. In addition, the Islamic state has destroyed multiple historic Christian sites in order to rid the country of anything it deems un-Islamic and “idolatry.”

UKRAINE:  In it’s retreat the Russian army is leaving behind mass graves and other evidence of atrocities committed against Ukrainian citizens. In some villages, evidence show that the entire population of women, children and the elderly were massacred, that being after raping, torturing and mutilating their bodies.

ETHIOPIA:  Since 2020, mass killings, rape, starvation the destruction of schools and medical facilities, forced displacment and arbitrary detention have been perpetrated against citizens of Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray.  The death toll is between 162,000 and 600,000.

CHINA: More than 1 million Uyghurs have been raped, tortured and killed in efforts by the Chinese government to ethnically cleanse the population of China and rid the country of what has been called a “cancer” by government officials/

MYANMAR:  Since 2017, 730,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh. Those remaining face killings, rape, torture, arson, enforced disappearances, extortion, and the withholding of medical care and food.

SUDAN:  10,000 killed, 4.5 million displaced, 1.2 million (mostly women and girls) fled to neighboring countries.

IRAQ:  50,000 Kurds dead, 4,000 villages destroyed.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC:  50,000 dead. 1.5 million displaced.

YEMEN: 100,000 killed, 40,000 direct casualties.

All this is going on in the world, Few people know anything about it.  The obvious fact is this: If Jews were involved in any of these other places, a lot more attention would be given. But Israel is the Jewish state, so no matter how false the accusations are, Israel is going to get the brunt of criticism.

This just boggles the mind.
