Back to the Stone Ages
With their blind, deaf, and mute see no evil accomplices.
There is no religion, philosophy, no common sense that goes beyond the politic, displacing the revengeful minds of those who rule the world.
The mentality that oppresses all of us, psychological, where the oppressed become the oppressor. Violence begets violence. An eye for an eye.
The siege begins. No time to bury the dead. Revenge is in the mourning of the living. Empathy for those like us, death for those who are not. Empathy, patriotism,
Sending gaza to the stone ages. The chosen people. Israel already in the stone ages. The stone ages are more than technology, suits and ties, it's in the head, man. It's in the heads of men who rule this world.
Zionism is Jewish supremacy, nazi turned on its head.
Fanon in his work "The Wretched of the Earth" writes about the relationship and types of violence between the colonized and the colonizers. The violence, he states, of the colonizer is inherent in the colonizer, in the system of oppression colonization entails. At the time, Fanon was writing more about the French, Algerian colonial experience. At the time, bombs and terrorist tactics were being carried out in France and against French targets in Algeria. The response by France was, of course, just as horrible, more so with sanctions, economic total warfare against the entire algerian colony.
Fanons analysis of the repetoire of violence perpetuated by colonizers over colonies was pretty much accurate to the point, factual and applied to modern day situations such as israels colonial/apartheid control over Palestinians.
Denial of this control is really the problem, in fact, denial of this relationship makes all the us and european unconditional support of
Israel makes them all complicit in whatever happens there. This merely exacerbates the problem since international law, justice, acceptable colonial standards which all the supporting states have adopted, evolved through centuries are mounted against any freedom fights or rebellions.
This attitude was also the acceptance by these same powers of Hitler 's rise to power in the 30s. Fascism is not on any of any colonial state's unacceptable list. Why is that? Because fascism is the tool of oppression.
Look at the difference in what happened thus far. Hamas is reacting against the violence perpetuated against the Palestinians everyday by the Israeli colonizer/ apartheid. Only reactive, outside of that reaction, they have no claims to overturning power, overthrowing Israel, their actions more like sending the bully (Israel) a message.
So how is that violence, horrible as it is, but restricted by ability and lack of power, different than the violence of Israel. Is Israel restrained by limitations of even a reasonable assessment of what their own actions over the last few weeks, few years, few decades that implicate themselves and which the immoral support of the western world have wrought.
Thats like leaving the insane free to roam the mad land.
The mad world vs the suffering world.
I've mentioned before that a general strike which requires tremendous suffering and strength, could be averted all together if people used their vote, demanding a moral representation rather than a political one. To think that all this in our country is the division between two political parties who together have brought this country (and other countries with similar inter fraternal, patriarchic differences.
The solutions are always violence- how much, what kind,
How can there be a solution when only one side in the palestinian-israeli conflict isn't justified in violence against the other. If only one side has a right to defend itself based on some universal guilt that the western world that they not only failed to help the jews in ww2 but who participated in the worldwide hatred of the jews. That guilt has created a mental, psychological, necrotic social tumor and the using of israel and other nations, as ploys for greed and self-serving interests.
An enclave, open aired prison, genocidal, inhumane not one significant description of gaza as having any allowed political organization whatsoever.
The fight for political capital.
Palestine, a humanitarian desert, devoid of any civil society, definitely an open-air prison.
Our obsession with statistics. I'm sure all the deaths are going to be inflated or deflated, depending on the political capital that can be achieved, although nothing the palestinians can do has any political capital.
