“What are we doing?” A simple question posed by podcaster Theo Von in his recognition of the genocide in Gaza. Well, ‘we’ a nation (at least here in the US) are enabling a genocide, we are enabling the starvation & slaughter of children for over 18 months. Theo rightly points out that our individual ability to enact change is limited if not non-existent. What matters, and what I hope you all realize is that you ARE responsible for what you do… or don’t do.
Your Duty
"It is thy duty to order thy life well in every single act; and if every act does its duty, as far as is possible, be content; and no one is able to hinder thee so that each act shall not do its duty. But something external will stand in the way. Nothing will stand in the way of thy acting justly and soberly and considerately. " — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“What is good has been explained to you, man; this is what Yahweh asks of you: only this, to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God” — Micah 6:8
Think on this and ask yourself, “What am I doing”? Is it enough that when you look back you won’t hang your head in shame? Is it enough so that when your children, grand children or Creator ask, you can answer without trepidation? THAT is what you must strive for. Do the good you can do. If you have a platform, use it to at the very least oppose genocide, if you can’t do that really think on what you are valuing. Whatever ‘small’ amount of Good you do DOES have an impact, it may be hard to see it on the world, but it has an impact on YOU and that is all that you are likely able to control.
Destroying their control
Theo Von’s heartfelt acknowledgment of the genocide is one of an increasing number of cracks in the zionist’s propaganda armor. In the face of such clear horror & evil, good honest people are speaking out, regardless of what consequences the zionist controlled propaganda apparatus may try to enact.
Ms. Rachel is being demonized by zionist controlled media for simply praying FOR CHILDREN’S SAFETY! “Stopantisemitism” a zionist propaganda group using ‘hate speech’ accusations to provide cover for israel’s crimes against Palestinians, literally described “this is a prayer for children in Gaza… Please stop hurting them” as “Hamas-like” [1]. The absurdity of this was apparently lost on the zionist agents NYPOST writers.
Note: if you want to read more on israeli intelligence-run (or “affiliated”) groups you should read Spy Fail from James Bamford.
When Douglass Murray went on Joe Rogan “to debate” comic & podcaster Dave Smith on the ‘war in Gaza’, he immediately began attacking Joe. Not because Joe did anything in that moment, but because, according to Murray, Joe (essentially) had too many ‘non-experts’ on. This scorched earth attack, rather than win anyone over revealed the truth to any honest witness, there is nothing defensible about what Israel is doing. Joe seems to speak with much more conviction now in regards to what israel is doing than he was before the ‘debate’. What lasting impact did Murray have? Only the enshrinement of “but have you ever beeeeeeeeen??” in the lexicon of all of us mocking the zionist’s propaganda.
“Leaders”
“A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils…And it gives ambitious, corrupted or deluded citizens (who devote themselves to the favorite nation) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country without Odium, sometimes even with popularity…” — George Washington, Farewell Address 1796 (I know I quote this a lot, it’s unfortunately very relevant)
While I can understand a ‘regular' citizen, being uninformed/ignorant of what is going on, ‘our leaders’ have no excuse. We should demand that our politicians truly put America first, that their default and unwavering position is that they are opposed to the slaughter of children and that they certainly won’t allow US taxpayer money to help assist such a slaughter.
There are very few who can check any of these boxes, Thomas Massie is the standard that we should hold all others to. If they aren’t as good as him they should be removed from office. Massie shines the light of truth on many of the lies and we have seen how violently the liars recoil from those truths. A surprise to me (perhaps my own bias, not sure) is Marjorie Taylor Greene recently has been making some pretty sensible statements (pictured below). Hopefully more follow suit, again the bar we are setting here is simply ‘don’t sacrifice our interests for a foreign nation’ or put another way, ‘don’t be treasonous’.
On the other side of the spectrum we have Jabba the Floridian Rep Randy Fine, who has called for literally nuking Gaza [2]. While many states have passed unconstitutional laws demanding ‘pledges’ for Israel, Gov Abbott of Texas recently took it to a new level. San Marcos, found that $4.4 of its taxes were going directly to Israel, in a proposed resolution, they recognized the absurd brutality of the israeli regime and the ‘basic First Amendment Rights’ of its citizens [3]. For ‘threatening’ to be decent human beings & for the crime of wanting to use their money to better than town instead of bombing children, Abbot threatened to cut the city off from state aid. His unAmerican, foreign loyalty is a disgrace and should render him ineligible for office (along with all the other traitors).
The Church
The day before his death Pope Francis used his Easter message to bring attention to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza & to call for peace [4] . He had previously (accurately) referred to israeli murdering innocent men woman and children as “terrorism” [5]. Additionally, he said in a call with israeli officials that it is “forbidden to respond to terror with terror”[6]. Notably, upon his death the israeli government shared, then deleted a post offering condolences [7], clearly they are no ‘friend’ to the church.
Pope Leo used his first general address to again call for peace & decency. “I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entrance of dignified humanitarian aid to Gaza and to put an end to the hostilities whose heartbreaking price is being paid by children, the elderly and sick people,”[8]. While I appreciate him continuing to draw attention to the issue, I hope he sheds all subtleties and calls them out forcefully.
There is no room for Zionism in Christianity. It is a thoroughly evil ideology which is now responsible for the slaughter of countless men, women & children. They are not content to do it alone, they seek to corrupt and pervert Good people throughout the world to their cause. If that is not the definition of evil that The Church is made to oppose, I don’t know what is.
On “protocol”
"The protocol is that American presidents and vice presidents do not bow before foreign leaders and do not kiss any rings. And obviously, given our history, you can appreciate that," — Vice President JD Vance
Fair enough, I can understand this, but once you take it out of isolation and look at the entirety of behavior, it becomes more absurd. First off, only the most miserable of people (who wont vote for him anyway) would claim a bow or even kissing the ring (which has even been recently discouraged by Popes) is professing subservience (in the political sense). Second, we have seen PLENTY of politicians, including Vance, openly show subservience to zionist leaders. It’s not a ring but that wall might as well be. To be clear my issue isn’t with Vance not kissing the ring, its with him being inconsistent on jumping through the hoops of other ‘foreign leaders’ but drawing the line here.
Having an effect
We can see in polls that Americans have now, finally shifted away from israel, less than half of Americans are ‘more sympathetic' to Israel [9]. According to a PEW poll, more than half of American adults express an unfavorable opinion of israel [10]. We aren’t Free yet, but we are finally (!) moving in the right direction.
While there never was a legitimate ‘voting block’ for zionists (see The Zionist Voter), it was always used as cover for outright corruption & evil. As polls continue to shift the cover this lie provides will shrink. I believe already the opposition (as expressed by MTG above) has led to our capitulation with Yemen. The United States did not win there and the American people made it clear we weren’t interested in more wars for Israel, especially as things got increasingly dangerous for our antiquated carrier groups.
Pressure is also increasing from Europe, a joint statement calling for “full resumption of aid into Gaza” was signed by over a dozen countries [11]. At the UN, 80 members signed a declaration stating “The protection of civilians is not optional. It is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law, and a moral imperative we cannot afford to neglect," and that Gaza is facing the “worst Humanitarian Crisis”[12]. More European countries are warning of potential sanctions on israel & the UK put sanctions on settler organizations and suspended free trade talks with Israel [13].
Desperation
Netanyahu has become increasingly desperate to keep wars ongoing, even as Trump reportedly stated “We will abandon you if you do not end this war”[14]. I honestly doubt the authenticity of that statement , but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is beginning to feel the pressure of a population tired of israel’s wars. Newer reports claim that israel is planning to “unilaterally” attack Iran’s nuclear sites[15]. It is important to note that Israel cannot defeat Iran, the US who just effectively lost to Yemen ALSO cannot defeat Iran. This doesn’t matter to israel, they will gladly start a war to lure us in & have us fight & die for them, as long as it makes Iran just a bit weaker.
Violence & Hate
“ Never repay evil with evil but let everyone see that you are interested only in the highest ideals. Do all you can to live at peace with everyone. Never try to get revenge; leave that my friends, to God’s anger As scripture says: vengeance is mine — I will pay them back, The Lord promises…” — Romans 12:17-20
A couple months into the genocide I wrote ‘Guarding your Humanity’, in it I wrote about the dangers of filling ourselves with the same hate that has clearly taken over the zionists. I know what israel is doing is evil, there is NO question. The evils that gave birth to zionism have become its foundation. I know MANY, MANY israelis are complicit if not actively engaged in supporting it. I still see too many parallels in the murder of low level bureaucrats here in DC with how israel claims anyone with any ties to ‘government’ in Gaza “is Khhhhamas”.
I warned in that article how “antisemitism” (real & imagined) gives cover for our corrupt politicians to hide behind and that has not changed. Rodriguez, the gunman in this recent attack is the MVP of the zionist movement right now. As their narrative crumbled he gifted them this attack and they came out in force.
It is unclear if this attack was actually ‘anti-Semitic’, as in he shot these people for “being Jewish” (one of them wasn’t), or if it was a targeted attack due to their (low-level) role in the Israeli government. In his manifesto, he spoke only of Israel’s crimes & not ‘Jews’ so I (for now) assume this was a targeted attack.
Regardless of his motivations & ‘targeting process’ , “our” representatives who are almost entirely owned & operated by israel, will use this to ramp up the attack on our right to free speech. This attack didn’t ‘help’ any Palestinian, the story went from israel shooting at European diplomats [16] in Palestine and starving 14,000 babies to the risk of imminent death [17] to ‘two israelis shot and killed in attack’. Unsurprisingly the zionist controlled corporate media (like the NYpost mentioned above) ran it as the main story, israeli crimes were no where to be found.
Conclusion
"Remember that as it is a shame to be surprised if the fig-tree produces figs, so it is to be surprised if the world produces such and such things of which it is productive" — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
You should not be surprised that people fed decades of zionist propaganda don’t suddenly see how evil zionism is. Over the past 18 months many of us, like Theo, have had that feeling of helplessness as you look on in horror at what ‘our’ governments are doing. As an individual we are not capable of deciding what our fellow countrymen do, nor are we single handedly capable of deciding what our government does. All we can control is our own actions. If we all do our individual duty, we will erode & destroy the wall of propaganda that enables this (and other) evil.
“If, however, you do warn a wicked man to renounce his ways and repent, and he does not repent, then he shall die for his sin, but you yourself will have saved your life” — Ezekiel 33:
