Campus Kids Could Deliver Gaza From the Great & Little Satan

This is not a Whodunit. The serial killers are known to us, are friends of ours, are supported by us. ~ilana

Speech should be free, unfettered and as wild and as wanton as can be. So long as no violence accompanies such speech or behavior; so long as mitts stop at the next man's face (or at the next mutt's fury face, Kristi Noem); it's all speech. ~ilana

American foreign policy is a museum of horrors in which Gaza 2023/2024 is the main exhibit.

It is my conviction that Gaza is much more than just one more American foreign-policy failure, an event and topic to swill around like mouth wash, spit out and move on, once the usual " tsk, tsk" bromides have been disgorged.

Uncle Sam's usual deathly mixture of ignorance, cruelty and superiority has been exceeded with respect to Gaza. It is my belief that the United States' open, even-energetic support for genocide is a defining event in the annals of American foreign-policy aberrations-repeatedly and vigorously  vetoing UN Security Council resolutions against Israel's atrocities, justifying  Israel's violations of the law, as well as, alternatively, pretending these violations had never occurred and making like  the laws of man and the laws of God don't apply to Israel.

This American failure is probably qualitatively different from blunders that went before. What the United States has approved in Gaza is the crime of all crimes, appallingly carried out in broad daylight.

Duly, the annihilation of a community and the landmass that supports it has been achieved. The arteries of supplies that sustain this Palestinian society  are all but closed. The mass murder of members of the targeted group proceeds apace. Daily. Shamelessly. Before our very eyes. And as I write.

It is the case of the senile (Joe Biden) supporting the criminally insane (Israel).

To press my point:  Mass graves are uncovered near the ruins of the Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals. Therein hundreds of Palestinians have been interred, bodies stacked, some handcuffed, others still tethered to medical tubes. The White House's response amounts to, "Where, what, who, and how can this possibly be? Who could have done this horrible thing? Yes, we, too, want answers right away. Let's do the forensics. Let's ask the Israelis to look into it, shall we? See you tomorrow."

This is not a Whodunit, you feckless, malevolent morons.

The serial killers are known to us. We know who  murdered over 34,183 Palestinians and maimed an estimated 77,143. The serial killers loosed on millions of Gazans-their guns at the ready, pointed at the civilians huddled in the southern tip of the Strip-these are friends of ours.

Empowered by Empire, Israeli serial killers are not on-the-lam, running from the Law. They are free to come-and-go, to travel, to hobnob; at liberty to enjoy undeserved freedoms, as their innocent victims are confined, held captive, catacombed, awaiting death by one or another diabolical means. In fact, the serial killers of the Palestinians of Gaza are proudly paraded as freedom fighters in their country of Israel, and are backed and exculpated by the powerful in our own country, the United States of America.

Support for Israel's offensive against Gaza's civilians comes courtesy of our carpetbagger representatives, left and right. Israel is lavished with munitions despite the fact that the American taxpayer's endorsement of the carnage these cause began dropping  in November of 2023. By  late March of 2024, a Gallop poll reported that 74 percent of Americans were keenly engaged with the topic and a majority now opposed Israel's excesses.

Even young Evangelicals might well be rethinking their allegiances.

Exquisitely sensitive to its Christian Zionist base in America, the Jerusalem Post, honestly if opportunistically,  divulged that, "Young Evangelical support for Israel has plummeted. Seven out of 10 Evangelical and born-again young Evangelicals... surveyed as far back as 2021 adhere to the postmillennial and amillennial theological views, which see the Jewish people and the state of Israel as no longer necessary in the fulfillment of God's plan for the second coming."

So settled in their habits, indications are that the elders of the Zionist, Christian Right have failed to read their young.

Indeed, these are austere days for American leadership and reputation. By dint of undertaking the role of IDF deputy in advancing genocide in Gaza-the United States has crossed a threshold. In Gaza, Uncle Sam has finally achieved an official or formal inversion of all cherished, universal values. It has earned the " Great Satan" appellation it was once awarded.

There is a vast power differential in the US-Israel relationship. The colossus that is the American Hegemon appears helpless before the tiny Jewish State, leading one to wonder which country deserves the Great Satan moniker and which the Little One.

On the scale of national crimes and misdemeanors, Gaza is simply  indefensible. And our young sense this and are incensed by it.

For now, the degenerative process in America is being halted by students. "[F]rom Massachusetts to California," students have gathered from far and wide demanding an accounting from their representatives for the  industrial-scale mass murder being carried out in their name.

Among the protest was a Jewish sit-in dubbed the " Seder-In-The-Street to Stop Arming Israel," on the second night of the Passover.  Reports "Democracy Now!":

"The demonstration, held one block away from the home of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved a $95 billion foreign aid package that includes about $17 billion in arms and security funding to Israel. 'At the core of the Passover story is that we cannot be free until all people are free,' Beth Miller, the political director of Jewish Voice for Peace,  told Democracy Now! 'The Israeli government and the United States government are carrying out a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, over 34,000 people killed in six months in the name of Jewish safety, in the false name of Jewish freedom."

To cover his wretchedness, a foreign country's prime minister libeled these quintessentially American, anti-genocide campus protests-which, we hope, may swell to match those begun  in Columbia University in 1968, against the Vietnam War-as antisemitic, even terroristic.

An emotionally incontinent Bibi Netanyahu 𝕏 called on political authority in the U.S. to sic its police on these American youngsters. This, his attack dogs, in deference to their political and  paymasters-and in defiance of American  First Amendment Constitutional rights of free speech and peaceable assembly-are doing.

Forgive them not; for they know not what they do.

These "antisemitism" claims-makers aim to silence and sunder dissenting free speech, one of the most cherished American (Voltairean) values, clearly not shared by our serial-killer besties. Framing loud protest against Israel as "antisemitic" is intended, very plainly, to silence opposition to the mass murder and displacement of Gazans.

The protesters across American campuses are not antisemitic. But even if they were; in America, free speech refers to the words people shout, write, tweet; the beliefs they are known to hold, the flags they fly or burn, the symbolic, non-violent ceremonies and rituals they enact, the insignia, paraphernalia, even the goose-stepping and Hitler salutes they muck around with-all this is protected speech in our country. Genocide backers, stateside and abroad, may not like it; but this speech is both constitutional and licit in natural law.

So long as these oddities and idiosyncrasies, whether performed alone or in groups, thoughts harbored or shared in public-so long as no violence accompanies such speech or behavior; so long as mitts stop at the next man's face (or at the next mutt's fury face,  Kristi Noem); it's all speech. It should be free, unfettered and as wild and as wanton as can be.

Provided protesters are not engaged in acts of violence against others-then the words they emit are irrelevant. Antipathy to Jews qua Jews, if expressed-for which there is no good evidence whatsoever-amounts to a thought "crime."

Thought crimes are the prerogative of a free people in a free country. Americans, left and right, must join libertarians in unapologetically rejecting the very idea of policing, purging, persecuting or prosecuting people for holding or expressing politically unpopular ideas.

Both myself and  Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the  Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, were buoyed by the campus protests and wish the kids Godspeed. The Kids might just deliver Gaza from the Great and Little Satan alike.

Superlatives cannot capture the plight of these poor people. What is clear is that patience is native to their character. Palestinians might appear enslaved, but they cannot be brought into submission by any Pharaoh.

Deliverance is possible for a long-suffering people.
