Now, it's quite common, I've noticed, to compare the Russians to the "Orcs"

It's only common among Ukrainian nazis and their defenders.

In contrast, in traditional China, in the Mongol Empire, and, in Russia, which learned so much from the Mongols, the conception of the hive mind is much more familiar, and much more acceptable. We really should bear this in mind, don't you think?

Rather than imagining things, here's a simpler explanation:

Russia and China have learned from history, and they both have a long civilization-scoped history. They're looking at the long term and do not act rashly and irrationally like pissed off toddlers.

In contrast, the US has no ancient history (Europeans committed multiple genocides to erase pre-existing ancient civilizations in order to israel their 'new world') and the short history it has is entirely based in wars of aggression, corruption and acting like pissed off toddlers.

That's all there is to it. Russia and China are, unlike Israel, defending themselves against an outside aggressor (the US), and are doing so in a way that's informed by their long history.

The United States has suspended the delivery of weapons to Israel - Axios

Inside sources claim that the Biden administration held back a massive ammunition shipment to Israel last week - and this was partly the reason why Netanyahu hasn’t invaded Rafah already.

Israel's Haaretz reported that Netanyahu hoped Hamas would reject the deal. Now Netanyahu is trying to break off the negotiations, won't accept a ceasefire and wants to invade the refugee camp in Rafah.

This confirms that Israel is as weak as ever and is completely dependent on American weapons and defense.

De facto the USA is at war in the name of Israel, for now only with weapons.

Yesterday, Joe Biden included trespassing in his description of violent and disruptive protest, saying it was not okay. In 1960, four young black men refused to leave Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in violation of the law. They were trespassing on private property and being disruptive. MLK was arrested for the same thing in Atlanta. Those arrested were charged with trespassing. MLK was sentenced to 6 months hard labor.

If Joe Biden were president then, he would have told the protesters to go home. JFK was a Senator running for president then- he actually made phone calls to get MLK out of his jail sentence.

The point of protest is to be disruptive. Civil Disobedience literally means breaking the law. Kudos to the protesters of the 1960s and of today who understand what it takes for justice to prevail.

Emphasis on the part that Zionists keep trying to shame/scare/bully people into ignoring:

Remember when you typed this in this very thread?

My own politics are non-existent, I just try to tell the truth.

You're failing at this, whether consciously (if Zionist) or because your information sources are heavily biased and made you believe that such a complete fabrication is reality.

Assuming the latter, what you wrote here is just as bad as regular saiditors elsewhere ranting about how jews are demonspawn who control everything and want to kill us all.

Riddle yourself this: why are so many Jewish students protesting against Israel's genocide? Are they Muslim?

Why are Zionists beating up those Jews in the US as well as in Israel? Are they defending themselves against Muslims?

What about all those christians, Christian churches, schools, shelters and so on in Palestine that have been crushed killed & destroyed by Israel? All a bunch of Muslims who deserved it because of one prison protest 7 months ago during which most Israeli civilian casualties were killed by Israel?

Try again once your knowledge of what Israel is and has always been doing is closer to reality. Right now you're way off, which makes discussion on the topic borderline impossible.

And no, it's not about politics. It's about history, documented facts and being willing to first look up information that contradicts what you currently believe. It's all out there, readily available.

I want to directly address all the students who are protesting for Gaza and have set up encampments from Columbia to the Sorbonne.

Right now, we have an opportunity to define history; to be remembered as a generation of resistance.

The eyes of the whole world are upon you.

Your protests have ignited a fire that has spread to Canada, to France, to Britain and beyond. These are the largest student protests in American history since the Vietnam War, the most politically charged in France since 1968.

We, as a generation, are saying to the world that Israel, Britain and America are wrong and we will not be part of their genocide against Arabs and Palestinians.

We demand that these universities, many of which are complicit, divest immediately and unconditionally.

And they will try to tell you that the protests are "insensitive". They will claim that "you don't understand the issue." Zionists will accuse you of being racist and that of which they are guilty. For we all know, every Zionist accusation is a confession.

You see, colonizers will come up with one million and one reasons to defend their racist occupation, and why they think that the land they stole belongs to them.

Right now, they are scared out of their wits because in order for Zionism and American imperialism to work, they need soft power. They require a good public image. And right now, we are interrupting their brunch by drawing attention to their crimes.

And no, it's not going to be business as usual.

These protests are effective, they are morally justified and they are necessary. They are truly democratic in their nature. And that is precisely why the police are attacking you.

The same military industrial complex that bombs Gaza arms the police that attacks students on campus; the same police that beat up students on campus, train with Israeli forces. The same knee that was on Khairi Hannoun's neck was on George Floyd's neck, and is now pressed upon Gaza's neck.

Understand that we are engaging in resistance against imperialism, against Zionism and against white supremacy.

While the Israelis incur losses on the battlefield, this is another theatre of war where they must be confronted and defeated: in the media, in civil society, in academia, in people's hearts and minds.

Zionism must be exposed and we must all do our bit. People in Palestine are counting on you. Their very lives depend upon it.

Unchecked, the imperialists plan to roll into Rafah, and they're already building a pier in Gaza under the pretext of "humanitarian aid" to establish a military foothold and steal resources.

Every second that goes by, someone is buried under the rubble alive in Gaza, gasping for air, or in pain being starved to death. This is precisely why we must never give in.

People across the entire Arab world all see what you're doing and they are proud of you.

This is a solidarity that transcends race, religion and politics. It is humanity at its best, in its purest and most vibrant form.

Remember to always stay focused on the crimes of the occupation. Always, no matter what! Never give in to agitators, never allow racists among your ranks. Remember the FBI will try to infiltrate you as they did to other movements and cause infighting or try to make you look bad.

The more you continue, the more people you inspire to do the same across other campuses around the world.

Occupy the lawns, occupy the classrooms, occupy the administrative buildings, the courtyards, occupy the entire damn university!

How dare they tell you that this is wrong while they occupy Palestine and Syria and butcher its people.

You're bringing drums to the protest? Drum harder! You're screaming at the protest? Scream harder! You brought a friend with you today? Bring 10 tomorrow!

You're now on the front lines.

None of us are free until Palestine is free.

Netanyahu is likely to carry out a massacre in Rafah with the help of the United States.

Today, one of the biggest war criminals since the Hitler era, Benjamin Netanyahu announced that regardless of whether or not there is an agreement to exchange the hostages, the Israeli army will enter Rafah.

Rafah is the last settlement in Gaza, home to around 1.5 million Palestinian refugees, many of them children.

The Israeli army has already set up checkpoints at the exits of Rafah and does not allow Palestinian civilians to leave the territory. The entrance there of such a small square, of any army, will make a sea of dead children.

Israel and Netanyahu have already committed all the possible crimes that Hitler committed, from the massacre of children, hospitals, doctors, women, the use of chemical weapons to starving the population and blocking the entry of food and medicine for children similar to the Holocaust of the Second World War.

The US political elite has declared war on its universities protesting against the criminals.

Not only is the US fully arming Israel to carry out this genocide, US police at the behest of US authorities, both Democrats and Republicans, have begun mass arrests of their university professors and students protesting the perpetrators and Israel.

Governors and senators from both political parties have publicly warned their citizens that anyone who protests Israel will end up in jail.

The USA also just to defend Netanyahu, undermined the legitimacy of the International Court of Justice and now they are preparing to sanction the international crime court which they were so proud of and which served them to "clean up" the disobedient politicians from the former Yugoslavia.

The US also banned TikTok after Israel started complaining that there were a lot of anti-Israel videos on that platform, crazy.

Globalists and the political elite in the US have made it clear to the entire world that Israel controls the US and that the US is willing to do virtually anything in its defense regardless of any crimes.

Most of the Arab countries are silenced and under the boot of Israel and the US and no action can be expected from them to try to do something.

However, Netanyahu confirmed today that the Israeli hostages held by Hamas are only an obstacle and that regardless of an agreement on their exchange, the Israeli army will enter Rafah.

This means that most likely all of them will die in this collision.

Huge protests happen in Tel Aviv every day that the mainstream media tries to hide. The protestants are demanding an agreement, calming the situation, return of the hostages and demanding the fall of Netanyahu.

We question this, with more than one million reports of potential vaccine injuries and 18,000 deaths on the government's own, long-trusted and likely undercounted, early warning system. These, the government takes pains to dismiss.

The term "AI" has now been taken over by marketing departments, so even the debates about how to define intelligence are pretty much meaningless because this isn't even what it applies to anymore.

Holy sh*t they really are all trying to kill us. #OneHealth was involved too. So the global warming people and the biowarfare people and the WHO pandemic treaty people are all the same junta and they really want the peasants to shut up and die. This is wonderfully clarifying.

Just right out in the open, not even trying to hide it. Michael Mann is saying, 'Oh hey, EcoHealth Alliance that just murdered 17 million people, those are my homies!' The battles lines could not be more clearly drawn at this point.

Part 2:

So, let’ s be clear: We are here, in Berlin, with our Palestinian Congress because, unlike the German political system and the German media, we condemn genocide and war crimes regardless of who is perpetrating them. Because we oppose Apartheid in the land of Israel-Palestine no matter who has the upper hand – just as we opposed Apartheid in the American South or in South Africa. Because we stand for universal human rights, freedom and equality among Jews, Palestinians, Bedouins and Christians in the Ancient Land of Palestine.

And so that we are even clearer on the questions, legitimate and malignant, that we must always be ready to answer:

Do I condemn Hamas’ atrocities?

I condemn every single atrocity, whomever is the perpetrator or the victim. What I do notcondemn is armed resistance to an Apartheid system designed as part of a slow-burning, but inexorable, ethnic cleansing program. Put differently, I condemn every attack on civilians while, at the same time, I celebrate anyone who risks their life to TEAR DOWN THE WALL.

Is Israel not engaged in a war for its very existence?

No, it is not. Israel is a nuclear-armed state with perhaps the most technologically advanced army in the world and the panoply of the US military machine having its back. There is no symmetry with Hamas, a group which can cause serious damage to Israelis but which has no capacity whatsoever to defeat Israel’s military, or even to prevent Israel from continuing to implement the slow genocide of Palestinians under the system of Apartheid that has been erected with long-standing US and EU support.

Are Israelis not justified to fear that Hamas wants to exterminate them?

Of course they are! Jews have suffered a Holocaust that was preceded with pogroms and a deep-seated antisemitism permeating Europe and the Americas for centuries. It is only natural that Israelis live in fear of a new pogrom if the Israeli army folds. However, by imposing Apartheid on their neighbours, by treating them like sub-humans, the Israeli state is stoking the fires of antisemitism, is strengthening Palestinians and Israelis who just want to annihilate each other and, in the end, contributes to the awful insecurity consuming Jews in Israel and the Diaspora. Apartheid against the Palestinians is the Israelis’ worst self-defence.

What about antisemitism?

It is always a clear and present danger. And it must be eradicated, especially amongst the ranks of the Global Left and the Palestinians fighting for Palestinian civil liberties –around the world.

Why don’t Palestinians pursue their objectives by peaceful means?

They did. The PLO recognised Israel and renounced armed struggle. And what did they get for it? Absolute humiliation and systematic ethnic cleansing. That is what nurtured Hamas and elevated it the eyes of many Palestinians as the only alternative to a slow genocide under Israel’s Apartheid.

What should be done now? What might bring Peace to Israel-Palestine?

An immediate ceasefire.

The release of all hostages: Hamas’ and the thousands held by Israel.

A Peace Process, under the UN, supported by a commitment by the International Community to end Apartheid and to safeguard Equal Civil Liberties for All.

As for what must replace Apartheid, it is up to Israelis and Palestinians to decide between the 2-state solution and the solution of a Single Federal Secular State.

Friends,

We are here because vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

We are here to promote not vengeance but Peace and Coexistence across Israel-Palestine.

We are here to tell German democrats, including our former comrades of Die Linke, that they have covered themselves in shame long enough – that two wrongs do not one right make – that allowing Israel to get away with war crimes is not going to ameliorate the legacy of Germany’s crimes against the Jewish People.

Beyond today’s Congress, we have a duty, in Germany, to change the conversation. We have a duty to persuade the vast majority of decent Germans out there that universal human rights is what matters. That Never Again means Never Again. For anyone, Jew, Palestinian, Ukrainian, Russian, Yemeni, Sudanese, Rwandan – for everyone, everywhere.

In this context, I am pleased to announce that DiEM25’s German political party MERA25 will be on the ballot paper in the European Parliament election this coming June – seeking the vote of German humanists who crave a Member of European Parliament representing Germany and calling out the EU’s complicity in genocide – a complicity that is Europe’s greatest gift to the antisemites in Europe and beyond.

I salute you all and suggest we never forget that none of us are free if one of us is in chains.
