The "Genocide" Canard Against Israel
Posted By: Judy W., 11/11/2023 9:07:52 AM
The word “genocide” may be the one rendered most meaningless in our discourse. It has some steep competition, of course. “White supremacy” now means asking someone to show up on time. “Trauma” means being referred to with the wrong pronoun. And “genocide” can, among other things, mean debating experimental sex reassignment procedures for children. (Go look up #transgenocide on Twitter and weep.) But the supporters of Hamas and of the Palestinians have seized the g-word with particular zeal. And who can blame them? There’s a real, adolescent frisson in accusing the victims of the worst genocide in modern history of being genocidal themselves.

In recent days I have been seeing a lot of old images. I have been looking at pictures of London as it was, and Britain as it was. It is just a tiny fraction over a century since the Cenotaph, which honours Britain’s war dead, was completed and unveiled. It is a starkly simple monument, with an elegance characteristic of its era, and fitting to its purpose.
A century, in the life of old nations, should be a little thing. And yet the world, and this nation, could hardly have been altered more radically if we had lost both the great world wars of the 20th century.
The month before 9/11, I was in Seattle interviewing the new digital titans for the Sunday Telegraph. (Snip) A new book, The Gates of Hell,Why Bill Gates Is the Most Dangerous Man in the World by Daniel Jupp, manages to dissect all of Gates’s activities since September 2011 and has he ever been a busy psychopath. Jupp is one of the several gifted polemicists called forth by the gnarly times we live in. He soared to recognition with witty, but somehow soothing Facebook blasts that combined PJ O’Rourke with Jonathan Swift with Steve Bannon. Jupp, if that is his real name, hails from working class England, Essex to be precise-ish,

Why they hate Snow White

Rachel Zegler is the go-to token Hispanic in Hollywood. Steven Spielberg hired her to be Maria in his remake of West Side Story. The film bombed like it were dropped from a B-52 as did her next movie, Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Her third movie premieres later this month. We will see if she is box office poison or box office toxic waste.
Of course, that is not her third movie. The Disney remake of Snow White is. Disney shot the movie in England in the spring of 2022. Its release date was scheduled for this year, then next year and now it is set for 2025.

This is a synthesis of brutal information, so here is lighter fare to start. (Snip)
Some of the following disasters are forced on us, and others are suppression or concealment of effective treatments. For example, iodine restriction is obviously purposeful. For the rest, ask yourself, “Could this have been solely caused by chance, greed, or incompetence?” The answer is mostly “No.”
The following hazards are in rough order of importance.
Medical abuses
Using therapies that do not work, that cause active harm, or for which simpler, safer, or more effective alternatives are available. This is at least half of modern medicine, and it is the biggest risk on this list.
All war is hell. All war is killing and destruction, and historically civilians are inordinately the innocent victims of wars. Urban warfare is a unique type of hell not just for soldiers, who face assaults from a million windows or deep tunnels below them, but especially for civilians. Noncombatants have accounted for 90% of casualties per international humanitarian experts in the modern wars that have occurred in populated urban areas such as Iraq’s Mosul and Syria’s Raqqa, even when a Western power like the United States is leading or supporting the campaign.
The destruction and suffering, as awful as they are, don’t automatically constitute war crimes
Islamic Nazis

Quiz: What is the difference between Hitler’s Nazis and Palestinian supporters of Fatah and Hamas? Both are national socialists, both have embraced the totalitarian oppressors of their respective peoples and elected them whenever they were given the chance. Both are driven by a demonic hatred to exterminate the Jews. Both deploy “Big Lies” to justify their malignant cause.
Answer: The main difference is that Hitler hid the “Final Solution” – the extermination of the Jews – because he feared that Germany’s citizens were too civilized to embrace such an inhuman and evil cause. By contrast every Palestinian leader has stated their intentions clearly, written them in their covenants and visions
There are two categories of people who are fanatically devoted to Hamas: Islamists and committed leftists. (Snip) I’d like to advance some newly acquired facts to change the narrative that Jews are colonizers who have used and abused the Arabs with ancient ties to the land. Actually, these facts are new to me but, in point of fact, they have a history. In the late 1600s, Hadriani Relandi, a polyglot who spoke several European languages, along with Arabic, Ancient Greek, and Hebrew, traveled to Ottoman Palestine. The most important takeaway is that Palestine was not an Arab land; it was (and is) a Jewish and Christian land.
You can laugh at Gwyneth Paltrow all you like, but her upper class followers, millions of them, determine the future via their purchasing power. Their focus is their family's health, and they only buy clean food. In that lies an end to the pitched fight over the environment. Chemical free, humanly raised, local, small batch, caring. (Snip)
In fact, anyone with sense and a little extra money buys organic food. And farmer/thinkers on both the right and left, see, argue, agitate for, and write about the drawing down of Big Ag, combined with a deliberate, policy-led revitalization of the country. Regenerative farming is a growth industry on both the right
The Value of Victorians
3 replies
One of the most prevalent modern shibboleths is the idea that ‘Victorian values’ were a bad thing or simply a case of abject hypocrisy from a society far less enlightened than our own. It’s impossible to watch any modern TV show or film set in the Victorian era without receiving this message. (Snip)
If a modern ‘progressive’ writer, actor, producer or director wants to batter particular loathed groups today-for example men, white Europeans, Christians, straight people or Donald Trump fans-all they have to do to really ram home those points is to present the standard Marxist manufactured view of the 19th and very early 20th centuries.
Liberal journalists are attacking new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) for not owning a fancy car or owning a million-dollar home.
This week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL.) roasted a Daily Beast reporter who scorched Johnson for not having “any retirement savings, own a single stock, or have any assets at all. He has less than $5,000 in his bank account.”

The Daily Beast’s Matt Fuller linked his tweet to a story that discussed Johnson’s financial position as “extraordinarily precarious.”
Fuller mocked the new House Speaker for having a mortgage that only costs $250,000-$500,000, a home equity loan, and a personal loan.

In a brutal episode of violence, a 17-year-old Las Vegas native, Jonathan Lewis Jr., died following a vicious attack by an estimated group of 15 individuals near Rancho High School.
Jonathan Lewis Sr., the victim’s father, confirmed this on Tuesday.
The attack happened on Wednesday, November 1.
“Today at 11:26 am my son was pronounced dead he will always be so loved as his dad I’ll forever hold him in my heart, shine even brighter, love even more and work all my life to bring peace into this world,” Lewis Sr. wrote. The teenage boy was undergoing treatment at the University Medical Center when he tragically passed away due to his injuries
Thousands march on Minnesota State Capitol, call for cease-fire in Gaza
A march to the Minnesota State Capitol led by the newly formed Free Palestine Coalition on Saturday was thousands strong.
Protestors again called for a cease-fire and demanded that the U.S. stop sending funding to Israel amid an increasingly desperate situation for Palestinian people living in Gaza.
“Different people come for different reasons,” shared coalition spokesperson Meredith Aby. “But we are united in a message, which is that we don’t want to have blood on our hands. We don’t want to be complicit.”
Uh oh!
Expect big names to drop in the federal government’s Asian brothel bust.
As previously reported, the Justice Department on Wednesday announced arrests in a high-end brothel network used by elected officials, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, lawyers, doctors and more.
According to the Justice Department, the ringleaders operated two websites to advertise Asian ‘models’ for photography as a front. “Three individuals have been arrested in connection with operating sophisticated high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia.
Pro-Hamas protestors on the campus of MIT were warned that if they didn’t disperse–they were violating campus policies that prohibited interfering with academic activities and the free movement of students and staff–they would be suspended. The protestors were warned several times and failed to disperse.
Jewish students were prevented from entering the campus through the main entrance and were rerouted. Once the protestors finally dispersed the administration decided to not follow through on their threats to punish the students for violating the policies of the school.
It was a bit of a surprise because MIT President Kornbluth seemed ready to follow through on her threat.
So why didn’t she?
Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs.
Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants.
Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

A concealed carry holder in Los Angeles who was forced to defend himself and his family in a terrifying shootout at his front door is demanding LA leaders prosecute criminals terrorizing law-abiding residents.

A pro-Hamas thug in New York City late Friday into Saturday was seen climbing up a sign to take down American flags and replace them with a Palestinian one. This is happening on American soil and should never be tolerated. Our Nation is treading in very dangerous waters right now.
The message these Hamas terrorist sympathizers are giving the U.S. is they think they own us. It’s time to put them in their place, take a stand and say no more.

'Ethnic Cleansing' to Describe (Defame) Israel 14 replies
On Friday, The Washington Post reported that journalists by the hundreds are signing a petition demanding that all media outlets should describe Israel in hateful terms, including "apartheid," "ethnic cleansing," and "genocide." In other words, they want all news accounts to sound like an "eradicate Israel" rally. But the Post used the most anodyne words for this radical petition. On the front page of the Style section, it said "Journalists sign letter protesting war coverage." On an inside page, it was "Letter calls for precise terminology." Are they too afraid to put "apartheid" and "genocide" in the headline?
Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition backing a conservative bishop in Texas who has been dismissed from his position by Pope Francis. In a brief statement on Saturday, the Vatican said Francis, in a rare move, had "removed" Bishop Joseph Strickland of the pastoral governance of Tyler and appointed the bishop of Austin as the diocese's interim administrator.
Strickland is one of the pope's fiercest critics among U.S. Catholic conservatives and has been particularly critical of the pope's attempt to make the church more welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Islam is Not a Religion

What is Islam? To answer that question, it’s more important to know what Islam isn’t. Islam is not a religion. It is an authoritarian, political ideology that forcibly imposes itself on all aspects of any society unfortunate enough to be under its yoke. Islam demands complete subjugation by its adherents. [snip] Islam allows no dissent. It is a complete and total way of life that glorifies oppression, slavery, and death. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, cultural, and military components. The religious component is the veil that hides the dangers.
The nation will be pushed toward “social and economic turmoil,” if a reelected President Donald Trump tries to enforce Congress’s border laws, the New York Times claimed on November 11.
“Sweeping Raids, Giant Camps and Mass Deportations: Inside Trump’s 2025 Immigration Plans,” declared the headline for an article about President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to enforce border policies if he is elected.The article was decorated with a matching claim from an investor group that lobbies for more migrant consumers, renters, and workers:
“Americans should understand these policy proposals are an authoritarian, often illegal, agenda that would rip apart nearly every aspect of American life — tanking the economy,
There is something very wrong with the priorities of the Republican National Committee.
During the third GOP primary debate on Wednesday, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called on RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to resign, citing the party’s struggles in recent elections.
He labeled the GOP a “party of losers,” reminding viewers of the “red wave that never came” in 2022 and the latest election losses suffered by Republicans on Tuesday.
I’m sick and tired of this Republican Establishment that has made us a party of losers. Where is the accountability for years of losing: 2018, 2020, 2022 and now last night? I’m calling on @GOPChairwoman to resign tonight.

I don't read Andrew Sullivan much, but I came across this and it's a terrific blow against the idiotic leftists who rail against Israel's "genocide" while remaining oblivious to the dozens of actual genocides he lists that are going on now or very recently.
