The Only Lights in Gaza Now Are Israeli Bombs

"For everyone who does wicked things hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed." —John 3:19-21

Israel, under serial liar and war monger Netanyahu, has pummeled the Palestinians in Gaza and the Israeli military just cut all cell service and internet access to Gaza and has begun its most violent bombing campaign yet.

The US government did all it could to enable these war crimes, crimes against humanity and yes, we’re seeing a genocide, see release below, also posted on Francis Boyle’s Substack. US enabling has been clear to me parsing the contrivances of the State Department over the last week.

I knew Israel was going to massively target the Palestinians but I thought it would be next year. As I’ve been noting in recent months, the entire structure of “normalizations” with Arab states; the lack of scrutiny to Blinken and Biden’s history of warmongering; the increasingly deranged statements re Israel from various quarters, like Robert Kennedy, Jr.; the targeting of the few celebrities, like Roger Waters, pushing back against the Israeli narrative; the total lack of understanding of the history of US-Israel relations, and the complete unseriousness of “the Squad” — as well as various other factors make clear that Palestinians were incredibly vulnerable.

The “global community” appears as little more than a farce, with even the best elements offering little more than speeches and lacking serious mechanisms for actual force of law. The Russian or Chinese governments are not going to come to anyone's rescue. They are selfish creatures. The Arab governments are at best a joke. The US political system is completely deranged, there have been a few, but there should be a protest directed at every member of Congress. Most US churches are either soaked in Zionist propaganda or at best mealy mouthed. I won’t even bother depicting the establishment media

New forms of communication and governance are needed, obviously. For the time being, I’ve done what I can on X/Twitter and Gab and set up a list of resources.
