Good interview with the indomitable Rania Khalek. Glad you brought the precedents of Julius Streicher and the Hutu radio announcers being brought to trial for genocide incitement. When this all began in October 2023, and the mainstream press eagerly accepted and promoted Israel atrocity propaganda, I immediately thought of these cases. I really hope to live to see the day when Bari Weiss, Bret Stephens, Bill Mahr, Douglas Murray stand trial for their crimes against humanity.

I refer to what is happening in Gaza is the US/Israel genocide. Israel couldn't carry on the genocide without the weapons, logistical/intelligence support, money and diplomatic bullying of the US. Ultimately, the US is most responsible. Trump could end it in a phone call, but he won't because of his capture in the Epstein files.

Finally, I never accept the term "war" to describe what is happening in Gaza. It is a genocide. Period.

Absolutely, the concept of protection is a fiction, just as Israel is a fiction imposed onto social realities

No state has a right to exist; they come into existence or they don't. FA made that point as well.

A concept of de-recognition, of in-determination, is urgently needed. How can it be developed? by whom?

International law feels overwhelmingly primitive / dysfunctional in the 21st Century. It still lacks a specific tool to tackle lies, hypocrisy, and double standards, with special sanctions for those lies by the veto powers. Israeli liars and US cover-ups cannot be allowed a speech space in UNSC meetings. This just does not work. lies cannot share the same space of truth as equals.

The West's support of Gaza genocide is a glaring example of racism. If & when non whites take control of the West, here is hoping, they do not forget.

The Jewish State of Hate Murder Rape Starvation Poisoning Polluting Maiming is all about the golden showers and pedophilia. You think it's just Epstein and Trump and Clinton and the rest in that perversity? Mossad and Jews have been on the hunt for years across countries filming their honey pots in the Jewish owned and controlled hotels across the globe.

Nukes and nooky. The Century of the Jew means obey.

The Case Against a Military Intervention to Stop the Gaza Genocide

On military intervention, expressed in terms from Hollywood: If you watch "Saving private Ryan", you leave the cinema with the very deep conviction that nothing, as in NOTHING, ever will justify war. Then you watch "Schindler's List" and leave the cinema with the deep conviction that genocide must be fought by all means, including war. Give a little reflection to the combined message of these to movies taken together, and you are immediately hit by the moral dilemma - the Sophie's choice - of our time.

War can never be justified, but the prevention of genocide is always justified -> cognitive dissonance -> inability to act.

In my humble opinion, there is only one way through this contradiction: Diplomacy has been exhausted, which only leaves one solution: The apartheid state of Israel must be abolished, just like the state of Prussia was abolished in 1947. Even if it can only be accomplished by war.

Cheers from a former pacifist.
