I never thought I would be exposed to such evil repeatedly, day after day, in my lifetime. I thought it was something out of history, something from Germany in the 1930s and the 1940's.

That it is Israel doing it, well... The ironic evil is overwhelming!

That country is absolutely bestial. The world should be uniting against it.

Like Katchanovski on Ukraine (a piece by me earlier today about some of his slanderous haters is here: https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-haters-of-ivan-katchanovski-and.html) you can't go wrong with Mondoweiss on the Middle East.

The word israel is now synonymous of hate, rape, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, Genocide, terrorism , monstrosity, neonazism, betrayal, lies, enemy of humanity and every horrific words or dispregiative we can think of.

It is an abomination which must not be allowed to continue to exist and anyone backing its institution, monstrosity and crimes must be condemned for hate crime, crimes against humanity, and complicity in Genocide.

Thank you for sharing.

Haaretz is not the top newspaper in Israel. It reaches about 5% of the population. Backing it up, by saying that The Guardian praises it, is like a dealer praising a junkie. And saying that Israel is pursuing a policy of "ethnic cleansing" is worse than outrageous. Even more scatalogcal is any comparison of Israel's effort to eliminate Hamas to Nazi pursuits in the Holocaust.

The only people deliberately killing civilians in this conflict are the members of Hamas and their sympathizers. Abd that has been the fact since day one.

Big fat fail. The Dissident didn't cite just Haaretz, and Mondoweiss has this all dead to rights.

And, Israel was killing Palestinians — and Brits — even before the Nakba.

On the British, we all know about the terrorist Menachem Begin and the King David Hotel.

On the Palestinians being killed even before the Nakba, Israeli Jews like Ilan Pappe will tell you the truth.

You know what you can do with that hasbara.

You mean like Jews killing Palestinians even before the Nakba, as Israeli Jews like Ilan Pappe have written about? You're an even bigger nutter than Mr. Coyle, if you're following the likes of sewer man DC Drano. So, since Substack doesn't allow return fire, I'll pre-emptively say "bye" to you.

How do we expect these iof monsters to walk back into ‘normal’ life after showing us how much fun they have murdering humans seeking aid. They lost the ability to hide behind defence long ago.

In 1948 everybody in the neighborhood tried to stillbirth the state of Israel. And, in the end, they lost. Palistine was a British governed region, it was not a state. Now, that region it is the state of Israel. There is no second state there and there's not going to be one. So, if you want to live there you have to obey the laws of Israel. If you don't want to do that, you are going to face all kinds of retributions. Normally, to avoid all that you could move somewhere else. Unless, you are so psychopathtic that there isn't another country that will let you in. Which is where we are tonight.

More hasbara lies that ignore the Nakba, and, despite what I told you about Ilan Pappe, that ignore how Israel was killing Palestinians even before the Nakba.

I gave you a second chance, and you doubled down on your bigotry. Bye.

The most credulous cohort of adults in history make things easy for the purveyors of anti-Semitic bullshit.

Pathetic and disgusting lies. Pathetic and disgusting people.

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

American Jews like Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Ken Silverstein and Philip Weiss know that.

Israeli Jews like Shlomo Sand and Ilan Pappe know that.

Bye, liar.

Just when you think you’d seen and heard it all. Is there really no limit to IOF atrocity?

I am concerned that the article has the hallmarks of organised denial. Once Vach has been outed as the commander - the “soldiers” can then claim they were “just following orders”.

Foreign national members of the IOF must not be allowed to travel - they must be apprehended and tried there otherwise I fear they will slip the net (if indeed one is ever cast).

Look up the definition: “Zionism is a nationalist movement that supports the self-determination and statehood of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland.” You could be anti-Israel policy or dislike Netanyahu but not anti-Zionism and claim to not be anti-Semitic. Your “math, doesn't math.”

Nothing new ... sane old story ... my offer of evidence:

The IDF's chief rabbi Col. Karim says jewish soldiers can rape non-jewish women to boost their morale. Well, that's all you have to know about the "most moral army in the world.

( https://forward.com/fast-forward/344783/israel-army-rabbi-once-justified-rape-of-non-jewish-women/ )

( https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4827240,00.html )

"I don't know something called International Principles. I vow that I'll burn every Palestinian child (that) will be born in this area. The Palestinian woman and child is more dangerous than the man, because the Palestinian childs existence infers that generations will go on, but the man causes limited danger. I vow that if I was just an Israeli civilian and I met a Palestinian I would burn him and I would make him suffer before killing him. With one hit I've killed 750 Palestinians (in Rafah in 1956). I wanted to encourage my soldiers by raping Arabic girls as the Palestinian women is a slave for Jews, and we do whatever we want to her and nobody tells us what we shall do but we tell others what they shall do."

Ariel Sharon, In an interview with General Ouze Merham, 1956

(Prime Minister of Israel from March 2001 to April 2006)

If one were interested in reading a history, a documented history of Zionist, Israeli ethnic cleansing, genocide and supported financially and militarily by the so-called "West," meaning the British Empire, the American Empire and their vassal states, the read:

State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel

by Thomas Suarez

“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.” [ask them to think.]

Socrates, 470 B.C.E. - 399 B.C.E.

p.s. The Sharon quote is hotly contested and not independently corroborated. Thus, I note that fact. But even the Forward and Ynet accepts that Col. Karim gave that rape endorsement.

This article is poorly written, filled with falsehoods, and serves as propaganda aimed at inciting antisemitism.

Again, as I said to (another) person I blocked last night?

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

Antizionism is not antisemitism.

So say American Jews like Noam Chomsky, Ken Silverstein, Norman Finkelstein, and Mondoweiss publisher Phil Weiss.

So say Israeli Jews like Shlomo Sand and Ilan Pappe, who has written extensively about Jewish ethnic cleansing.

I know you're trying to schwaffle by "only" saying The Dissident is "inciting" antisemitism, not being antisemitic himself.

A difference that makes no difference. And I don't get why people like you and Michael Coyle, follow all the wingnuts you do, and then The Dissident.

Right Robert. Harken back to the Grey Lady turning a blind eye to the reporting on the beginnings of the Holocaust back in the late 1930's. These "cohorts" have deep roots and dark histories that we are all supposed to forget. This is mirrored in Haaretz and The Guardian's blind eye to babies in microwaves and the rape and tortures inflicted on Israeli civilian hostages to this very day - often in Palestinian homes. We're supposed to forget all that.

One vision that I haven't forgotten is that of the crowds of "innocent" Palestinians dancing in the streets and beating bound hostages - who being paraded in pickup trucks for them on October the 7th. But the last thing I could ever envision is an Israeli decision to pursue a "Final Solution" here.
