Genocide by any other name

I was going to put up an image of a swastika inside a star of David, but that would be cheap, sensationalist and a bit misleading. Symbolism needs to be handled with care. It's better to just put up photos of the effect. Have a look at the above photos and spot the difference. It isn't a trick. There isn't any difference. Both are the result of political bullshit forced on the innocent by narcissistic sociopaths.

There is probably a psychological term for it, but the victim often turns into the bully and acts the same way. That's what Israel has become. No one can deny the suffering of the Jewish people at the hands of the nazis, but IN NO WAY does it justify the Jewish people now committing their own genocide on the Palestinians. IN NO WAY does it justify the blind ego of a political leader who has lost all sense of humanity. Cut through all the political spin and righteous anger and what you are watching is history repeating itself, and the victim has become the oppressor. 

When you hear right wing Israelis talking about cutting out the infection it is so close to Hitler's rhetoric it is chilling. When they label all Palestinians as terrorists they might as well give them matching uniforms and a badge. It's all the kind of political lie that allows them to bomb hospitals and refugee camps because they can claim they are all harbouring terrorists. If you believe that Hamas uses their own women and children as human shields you will believe anything. And even if they do, how does that justify killing said women and children to get to them? What is happening in Gaza is genocide, pure and simple - unjustifiable evil perpetrated in the name of God.

Fun fact: Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship THE SAME GOD. The only difference is who has the greatest prophet or not, and whether you believe in some fairly wacked out magic tricks - the likes of which are reproduced in the modern era by stage magicians that can pull off the old walking on water or being buried alive routine for the cameras. The madness of this has been going for a couple of thousand years and it is showing no sign of stopping. And it won't. Netanyahu's fine words that he is trying to unite ancient peoples are absurd. It's the same old shit - killing for peace is like fucking for virginity. All those Palestinian children that have watched their families murdered in front of them aren't going to grow up and think what a great guy he was for showing them the error of their ways. They are going to form the next generation of terrorists looking to settle the score. And so it goes on for eternity or until the rest of the world gets sucked into the vortex and self destructs.

What sucks more than anything in this is that the world is more likely to do that than to act to stop it. And why? Because Israel knows it has the USA at its shoulder. Netanyahu is acting like a crazed school yard bully because he knows his cage fighting big bother will come to his rescue when he whistles. As long as the arms flow the madness won't stop, and arms are big business in the USA. Religion and greed - the two compliment each other like wine and cheese at a billionaire's birthday party.

This post doesn't offer any solution other than restating the need for people to reject organised religion and political charlatans. The only religion is the moral standard we set for ourselves. Something completely abandoned by the religious and political hierarchies of the world.

Just to round it out here is one last photo of the precision removal of terrorists by the IDF. Oh yeah, and the 100 or so woman and children that happened to be in the way. Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.
