My grandfather who witnessed the first Nakba did not survive a second one. After a year of suffering, hunger and the absence of medical care, he passed away in October. He had lost half his body weight in a matter of months. His once-strong frame – he had been a proud athlete – was reduced to skin and bone. In his final days, he lay bedridden, silently enduring strokes and pain with no medicine, no proper food and no relief. I still remember our final embrace on October 11. It was a silent farewell. A tear slipped down the wrinkled cheek of a man who had witnessed too many wars and buried too many dreams. That tear said what words never could: it was time to go. And I ask myself: Would he have survived had there been no war? Could his last months have been filled with care instead of hunger?
I think it's liberal Zionists realizing they're on a sinking ship. It seems the blocking of humanitarian aid made genocide impossible to deny.
please don't insult the intellectually disabled.
One example can be found when Israel shuttered six Palestinian human rights organizations in 2022 amid allegations that they operated as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The Israeli government raided the offices of one of those organizations — Defense of Children International Palestine (DCIP) — one day after the United States informed Israel that it found DCIP’s reporting of the rape of a child in an Israeli detention facility credible. Many Western governments responded by cutting all ties with these organizations, only to quietly re-establish those ties several months later when Israel failed to produce any compelling evidence for its accusations.
Everyone’s yelling about Trump accepting a jet from Qatar as a bribe, which would make sense if they hadn’t been completely ignoring how Trump has openly admitted to being bought and controlled by the world’s richest Israeli Miriam Adelson, and how pervasively influential the Israel lobby is throughout all of US politics.
It’s so gross that western society tolerates the existence of an Israel lobby. Like “Oh so you’re here to convince my government to stomp out my free speech rights and use my tax dollars for wars and genocide to advance the interests of an apartheid state? Yeah cool, I guess that’s fine.”
The existence of the Israel lobby should be treated the same as a Nazi lobby or a pedophilia lobby. Taking donations from pro-Israel groups should be as stigmatized as taking donations from the KKK or NAMBLA.
It’s not okay that each western nation has its own high-powered lobby group whose whole entire job is to insert itself into key points of influence and persuade our governments to destroy our civil rights and commit genocide. Nobody should tolerate the existence of these groups.
Not sure when this is from
good point, there is also the aspect of these righteous Jews being erased and/or treated as apostates. Common in Zionist propaganda to say that Jewish Voice for Peace isn't actually Jewish.

It's common for Israelis to express extreme hostility to the Red Cross:

They have told the ICJ that it's lawful for Israel to attack external agencies that are not "impartial" (which includes the Red Cross): https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-tells-icj-international-law-allows-israel-attack-un-agencies-are-impartial
And in fact Israel has bombed the Red Cross's offices in Gaza: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/international-red-cross-says-israeli-army-hit-its-gaza-premises-for-second-time-in-3-weeks/3541509
Now we truly know the Western-dominated world order has ended. But you won’t be able to blame Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping for it. I am sure they are happy to see it gone and may even fancy themselves at having a hand in it. Well, maybe a little bit. But they can’t do it if the West hasn’t committed the most extreme moral self harm, and ignore those very things that keep it alive, that is, as they say, things like Western-inspired universal values such as human rights, international law, and the law of war when it comes to Israel.
The most extraordinary censorship is being exercised across many Western countries, but especially in the United States and Germany, to silence anyone who tries to speak out what everyone already knows is going on in Palestine. It is no accident that the two countries that make the most of the Holocaust as universal civic education are the two countries that most actively enable a real-time genocide being committed and shown live on our computer screens and social media pages.
Silencing the victims’ cries so the killers can continue with the butchery, and criticism is considered racial hate speech against the killers and their apologists. Who does that?
The West cares more about the feelings of the butchers than the lives and limbs of victims. Western “civilisation” now sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Dostoevsky’s Ivan Karamazov asked whether you would let a single child suffer the most horrible torture and death so that the whole of humanity will be free of suffering forever more.
What a naive idealist Ivan was! The real question is how many children we will allow to die the most painful and horrific death before the people who claim to be enlightened and free will collectively speak out and say – “Enough is enough! Enough blood!”
Those were the words of the late Yitzhak Rabin at the signing of the Oslo Agreement.
Having surveyed the whole of history up to his time, Arnold Toynbee concluded that great civilisations died by suicide, rather than murder.
The West has just proved his point. It will of course always exist as a geographic reference. But it’s just places on the map now, not an inspiring idea.
As an ideal, it has died by its own hand with the horrifying screams and dying breaths of tens of thousands of children in Gaza.
At no point in this article does the article mention any concern for the hour by hour extinguishing of human life in Gaza. The idea that vague feelings of Jewish Harvard students should be prioritized over human life is the purest distillation of Jewish supremacism.
wait a second, are you arguing in favor of the Israeli military killing children?
This is likely a huge underestimate since Israel considers anyone who worked for the Gazan government or civil services 'part of Hamas'.
