Beijing and Moscow are already losing some of their credibility. Their reasons of state for justifying inaction or their lack of clear opposition to an insane Israel contrast too loudly with their proclamations of a different future and their self-satisfaction as virtuous parties.

You are so right to point this out, I just wrote a similar comment, not only taking these two to task, but also those podcasters who ignore this and whom I have called out. Thank you!

This is an excellent set of initiatives that I agree with whole heatedly. No doubt billions of people the world over would share my agreement. My only concern is this concluding comment.

"There is no guarantee at all that, as a collective, we will even try. But one thing is certain: if we don’t, we will deserve everything that is coming for us in a world where we all have made genocide the norm or allowed this to happen."

First, the wage slaves of the world, the great mass opposing Israel, have no collective organization of their own. The collectives that do exist are uniformly run by stooges of the ruling class, or Billionaire Oligarchs. This "collective" only partially acknowledged the genocide just recently because as you point out, it had to politically. If the Nazis of our era are to be stopped by force, as is required, a class based revolutionary movement must take power in at least one western country. All energy should be chanelled into that educating and organizing the radicalized masses if there is to be any hope of stopping Israel and preventing "Gaza style" methods of war across the globe. The correlary to my assertion here is also critical. When the existing "collective" of blood soaked genocidal Imperialists inevitably fail to stop the genocide it will not be "our" failure to mourn. It will simply be further proof of the need for a parallel power of the wage slaves in every country of the West. It is quite dangerous to encourage any hope in the collective Imperialism, it's UN, it's media, it's society. It's even worse to encourage an anti Israel wage slave to feel they are at fault for the crimes of their brutal masters. That is not only wrong, but demoralizing ti the only anti genocide force on the planet: the global wage slaves.

We need to decide firmly and start acting decisively - and we WILL find ways to do what needs to be done!

(Looking for excuses won't help, that's for sure.)

Dear Tarik, thank you for expressing this so thoroughly! I couldn't agree more. Israel has lost its right to exist by committing this genocide. No more Zionist entity! And it is clear these psychos won't stop until they are militarily defeated. It is so clear what needs to be done!

Many governments of EU countries (including my country) are pretending to support Palestine because elections are getting close. We, the citizens, must deal with them appropriately - get these traitors of humanity out of the decision making positions, once and for all. It is clear what needs to be done!

To know what needs to be done, is half way towards the solution. WE WILL DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO END THE GENOCIDE!

I would say this conversation, so well initiated and outlined here by you, Tarik, should be actioned with expertise, but also with haste. I mean, this plan should have began immediately after the occupation operation began. There should have been a campaign, much as you outline here, but right from the start. The ‘Israeli occupation cruelty’ had the best part of 75 years of apartheid extremist ‘form’. We knew that the Zio’s would be inhuman and brutal, as in their past. It was up to the UN and legal bodies to emphasise from the start that anyone talking ‘Genocide’, bragging, broadcasting, displaying, (insta, TikTok, X) or witnessed would be guilty of their specified war crimes and would definitely be punished. We saw men in under ware, trapped and tortured from the very start. Instead we get UK’s Cameron threatening Francesca Albanese, Rubio threatening the ICC staff, sanctions cast around by USA. Respect for International law is in the toilet! These Bar-Stewards needed to know that they would pay, sooner or later. That threat, may have made a difference, even to soldiers brought up to dehumanise and hate all arabs? Palestinian families must have justice. It must be seen to be done. How else can we ever look Gaza in the face and stop the Gaza war system from becoming normal warfare? (even though this was never a war, but always a plan for ethnic cleansing. Oh, and Israel should have been told from the start, that their tax payers will be paying all reconstruction and family compensation costs incurred, unless they can persuade US, German, British tax payers to pay reparations for them. I doubt? This time, don’t except donor nations in the region to pay again. There has to be a financial and moral cost to such behaviour against other countries. Those who sent the bombs, were complicit, and enabled the worst crime anyone can commit on anybody else ever, should pay. This is so that their citizens will realise what they let their unwise, imperialist governments do. Forget mowing the lawn, destroying everything and walking away, this time.

Mr. Amir,

Sir I am new to your site but what I have read by you certainly seems reasonable.

I know nothing about you as you me.

Here is my considered comment.

So this is Humanity. I blame you, all of you and my self. Too late, Humanity will not recover from this defeat.

This commenter is 80yo and I say we are done for. The Human Psyche is injured beyond repair for allowing this Gaza to go on and on.

Pretending to be ok is not an option after this.

There will be no accounting by any of these bad actors.

It is over folks, go about your business, Humanity is doomed.

THE CLEAR, CONCRETE AND URGENT DEMAND THAT WE ALL CAN MAKE NOW TO SPARE SOME OF THE SUFFERING: "the UN General Assembly [to] use the Uniting for Peace procedure to bypass the American veto in the Security Council and mandate an international protection force for Gaza." KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBILITY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DEMAND THIS.

Tank you for that outcry! And the accompanying photo which belongs to the category of pictures that make me literally cry out as I see here my grandchildren. And very, very especially I thank you for being—the first as far as my alt-media authors are concerned—to call out the two states China and Russia that pose in some form or another as an alternatives to the criminal and detestable Western elites for staying … »neutral«, as you define it. In fact, they support the ongoing murder spree with enormous trade flows with the Zionist state and by not joining South Africa’s case with the ICJ. And by maintaining diplomatic relations. For weeks now I comment on »X« and YouTube along this line and beg the podcasters who explain China and Russia to us, to take up this topic and—at least—point out why these two states’ elites act complicit. Guess what: Some likes from some readers and NO REACTION from the authors. This—for me—calls into question these podcasters’ integrity. (There is one , may be two, exceptions: Dimitri Lacaris and John Helmer).
