Israel is engaged within the mom of all performative contradictions: denying genocide, whereas committing genocide, all of the whereas demanding the fitting to genocide.
The Jewish State is genocidal not as a result of it has been denounced as “genocidal” by ostensible “antisemites” and “terrorist sympathizers,” however by advantage of its actions. Israel is genocidal by advantage of what it has performed to Gaza, the folks and their land.
Shortly after October 7, 2023, conceptions of vice and advantage have been crystalized like by no means earlier than. It was then that sure self-evident truths grew to become crystal clear. For you might be what you do. Israel’s actions inside Gaza and with out it have proven the world—myself, a former supporter of Israel included—in merciless aid the barbarity of Israeli state and civil society.
By intently observing Israel in motion over 9 months, in Gaza and past, after which, as intently, listening to and chronicling Israeli and Jewish leaders, stateside and in Israel, as they walked the stroll—immutable truths in regards to the Jewish State have been simply deduced commensurate with Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
Thumping majorities throughout Israel’s public sector, personal sector and “third sector,” you title them—have been justifying, finessing and fibbing about their military’s “high-tech homicide spree” in Gaza, a marketing campaign that Israel and its American underwriters have taken to the West Financial institution, and are poised to proceed in Lebanon, if allowed.
Thus, the labels “antisemite” and “terrorist sympathizer” quantity to a blood libel leveled at tens of millions, maybe billions, within the International South, specifically—though the wholesale slaughter carried out by Israel in Gaza has stirred hearts internationally.
Up to now, the watching world has been peacefully protesting genocide by way of the written and spoken phrase, or by marching and voting.
Caught within the act, the responsible get together, Israel, has continued to demand cavalierly the fitting to kill and deceive. The world is instructed to, first deny Israel’s genocide, then justify it or danger defenestration.
To no avail.
“Simply as you’ll be able to establish a tree by its fruit, so you’ll be able to establish folks by their actions,” mentioned Jesus (New Residing Translation). Verbatim, Matthew 7:20 reads: “Subsequently by their fruits you’ll know them.”
In pointing to human motion because the plain key to man-made actuality—Dr. Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s Ethics of Argumentation go even additional than did Jesus in Matthew 7:20.
ISRAEL, EFFECTIVELY, CLAIMING AUTHORITY TO COMMIT GENOCIDE
Our overlords who artwork in D.C. and their overlords in Tel Aviv attempt to situation us, directly, to look at Palestinians die every day en masse, and both justify or deny the holocaust visited on them by the Jewish State.
Countering this parallel universe being enforced by the Axis of Genocide are Dr. Hans-Hermann Hope’s Ethics of Argumentation. Significantly useful right here is “the authorized idea of ‘estoppel,’” attributed by Dr. Hoppe to Stephan Kinsella, a libertarian authorized theorist. It’s “the authorized precept that bars a celebration from denying or alleging a sure reality owing to that get together’s earlier conduct, allegation, or denial.” (Emphasis added.)
I’d enterprise that also stronger than authorized estoppel apparently permits is the truth that Israel is denying present and ongoing genocidal acts on the exact same time it’s committing them! Israel is engaged within the mom of all performative contradictions: denying genocide whereas committing genocide.
It’s a performative contradiction, then, for Israel and its backers to dispute that the Jewish State is committing genocide at the exact same time that the Jewish State is finishing up the denied deeds.
Genocide, ethnocide and domicide are, clearly, by no means justified and might by no means be exculpated. Subsequently, to say that you’re simply and justified as you perform the manifest genocide, ethnocide and domicide of a folks; is to not solely carry out a contradiction, however to embody one, all of the whereas demanding the distinctive authority to hold out all the above.
To be mired in such grotesqueries, as Israelis indubitably are, is to be lower than human, lower than coherent, lower than sane. The Greek philosophers would have concurred.
ISRAEL HAS ACED THE GENOCIDE BAR
Legal guidelines in opposition to genocide impose no burden in any way on anyone aside from on the sadistic, sociopathic serial killer.
Lest we be accused of arguing in circles, the idea of genocide should be fairly certified and clarified. And, specifically, the reference right here to the optimistic legislation’s definition of the systematic, methodical annihilation of a folks.
Pure-rights libertarians are seldom enamored of authorized positivism, which typically conflates justice with the legislation of The State. Our all-too-small cohort is, for probably the most, wedded to the pure legislation, the next legislation—a system of ethics knowable by way of cause, revelation and customary sense.
“By pure legislation,” propounded the nice Southern constitutional scholar James McClellan, in Liberty, Order, And Justice, “we imply these ideas that are inherent in man’s nature as a rational, ethical, and social being, and which can’t be casually ignored.”
I’d additional argue that whilst he’s mired in evil—as Israelis actually are—man is aware of proper from unsuitable full-well. He is aware of he’s perpetrating evil whilst he does so.
Since it’s anchored within the very nature of man, the Pure Regulation is the best legislation identified to man, and is due to this fact a priori simply. As a rule, any vestiges of pure legislation nonetheless current within the optimistic legislation have been buried beneath the rubble of laws and statute.
So, whereas it’s a uncommon event when natural-rights libertarians defer to the optimistic legislation in a optimistic manner; it could actually and does occur that this or the opposite state legislation is inoffensive in that it does nothing to undermine the pure rights of man—these to his life, his liberty and his property.
To the extent that the optimistic legislation comports with the pure legislation—to that extent it’s inoffensive. Such is the case of Article II of the Conference on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which articulates, principally, a set of destructive rights, whose enforcement imposes no burden in any way on anyone aside from on the sadistic, sociopathic serial killer.
To Israel’s beefy genocide rap sheet one can now add one other qualification: The Article II injunction that enjoins in opposition to the imposition of “measures meant to forestall births inside the group.”
There are no maternal amenities left in Gaza.
It’s now well-nigh not possible to provide beginning safely in Gaza—until genocide adjudicator Jake Sullivan, the U.S. nationwide safety adviser, thinks that, beneath her personal energy, a lady and her new child can survive squatting inside a spitting distance from a sewage ditch to expel that child. Or, having her stomach opened with out anesthesia to extricate the neonate. Or trusting her preemie’s life to the oxygen “equipped” by Israel and staving off post-operative septicemia, additionally beneath her personal energy. Sullivan was the US level one that unveiled a dodgy file that commanded fusspots to stop the fuss and feathers over Israeli genocide. There may be none.
Standing in for a complicit America, the dissembling Sullivan has denied that something our Israeli “mates” have performed or are doing is perpetrated “with intent to destroy, in complete or partly, a nationwide, ethnical, racial or spiritual group.”
You be the decide, expensive reader. These are the 4 genocidal actions that preceded Israel’s final:
- “Intentionally inflicting on the group situations of life calculated to result in its bodily destruction in complete or partly.”
- Killing members of the group.
- Inflicting critical bodily or psychological hurt to members of the group.
- Direct and public incitement to commit genocide. (https://www.hrw.org/stories/2004/ij/ictr/3.htm#_Toc62641378)
On high of this, holocaust denial on the Worldwide Courtroom of Justice (ICJ) has, too, devolved right into a grotesque burlesque. In its Might 24 order to Israel to “instantly halt navy operations within the governorate of Rafah”; the ICJ appeared to bolster the bogus demarcation between carpet-bombing Rafah and carpet-bombing the Better Gaza.
With specific relish, Israel has continued carpet-bombing each Rafah and the Better Gaza. Why, then, did the ICJ’s order single out the assault on Rafah alone, as “an underlying act of genocide”? Hasn’t Israel’s ongoing onslaught on the Gaza Strip in its entirety “pos[ed] … irreparable danger to the rights of the Palestinian folks to be protected beneath the Genocide Conference and additional threaten[ed] their bodily destruction in complete or partly”?
There isn’t any qualitative distinction between the IDFs actions in Gaza earlier than the invasion of Rafah and after. The incessant, industrial-scale marketing campaign of slaughter and hunger in Gaza, north, middle and south, exists on one craven continuum of crime in opposition to humanity.
What, then, was the pondering behind Rafah-as-a-red-line? The ICJ’s try to manufacture an imaginary line between mass homicide in Rafah and genocide within the Better Gaza is perplexing.
Studying between the strains of Washington’s pretense is tough, however I believe the reflexive impulse in Washington was to separate genocide earlier than Rafah from genocide after the invasion of Rafah with the intention of counting the 113,918 Palestinians murdered and maimed earlier than Rafah as in some way “lawful,” legit casualties of a simply struggle.
Washington’s tried connivance was not reciprocated by its shoppers, the ingrate Israelis. The road the murderer’s sponsors had tried to attract between homicide earlier than Rafah and homicide after its invasion, quickly vanished within the blood-soaked sand of the Strip’s southernmost tip. That line itself was blurred… by blood shed by Israel.
CHRONICLNG A DAY IN THE LIFE …
We owe it to the holocaust survivors and their households, and to the historic document, which is susceptible to the revisionism of Zionists.
With out let, then, the IDF (Israel Protection Forces) continues to martyr, maim and displace Palestinians up and down and throughout the Through Dolorosa that’s the Gaza Strip.
Nevertheless insurmountable, and to bear witness to genocide, as we should—Gaza’s useless should be counted, recited and commemorated. We owe it to the survivors and their households, and to the historic document, which is susceptible to the revisionism of Zionists.
Selfless angel that she is, Nurse Johnston had flown to Gaza on a medical mission of mercy organized by the Palestinian American Medical Affiliation. Again at house, in northeast Portland, after three weeks in Rafah, she wept for Gaza:
“Folks have explosive accidents, and we’re giving them Tylenol, we’re giving them Ibuprofen for an arm that’s been blown off or burns on 30 % of their physique. We went to search out there was no cleaning soap, no hand sanitizer, no linens to place your sufferers on. So, we’d come into the ICU and discover sufferers on these plastic sheets which can be degrading, mendacity in a pool of blood and fluids and nothing to vary them on. …We are able to see off to our left aspect a puff of smoke. We are able to hear all of the rounds of artillery and figuring out we needed to drive parallel to that. …Will I make it the remainder of the way in which?”
Nonetheless in Gaza, Dr. Dorotea Gucciardo of Glia had reported three weeks again that healthcare employees are actually prohibited from operating to the rescue and not using a … allow. Healers are usually not solely being focused, in what stays of Gaza’s systematically sundered hospitals—however they’re being hampered by forms, by the Arendtian “banality of evil.”
They wait on the signature of an Eichman.
By the point you learn this—and as I write—the already underestimated quantity of Palestinians murdered (37,084+), maimed (84,494) and displaced (1.7 million) by The Satan’s brokers will probably be, and is as I write, outdated. The earlier sentence is already out of date: Please substitute these up to date figures of upwards of 37,396 murdered, 85,523 maimed.
Beneath Gaza’s floor lie many hundreds extra, buried beneath over 37 million tons of particles. Scrap that. For the reason that above sentence was penned; the determine has been up to date. As of June 18, an “preliminary evaluation” is that, “After eight months … Gaza is suffering from greater than 39 million tons of particles.” The particles is replete with 800,000 tons of asbestos and various contaminants, together with 7,500 tons of unexploded ordnance (Wikipedia). It might take 14 years to clear rubble generated by the equal of greater than three Hiroshima-strength bombs, dropped on a strip of land 25 miles lengthy, and three.7 to 7.5 miles vast. The time-table estimate was made within the “distant” previous, January of 2024.
However the Israeli military’s declared “tactical pause,” the IDF worn out 17 folks on June 18. By the top of the primary week of June, roughly 800 Palestinians lay useless and over 2,400 had been bothered with life-altering accidents.
In keeping with stories by Medical doctors With out Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), these admitted to the MSF-supported Nasser and Al-Aqsa Hospitals “bore the hallmarks of intense strikes: dismemberment, extreme trauma, burns, and open fractures.”
‘These assaults are the newest in a broad litany of atrocities and illustrate the kind of struggle that Israel is preventing. Israel and its allies have repeatedly proven that there is no such thing as a watershed second or pink line on this violence. The assaults now generally known as the flour bloodbath and the tent bloodbath—in addition to the killing of help employees and their households and the annihilation of hospitals and the well being system extra typically—have led to not more than weak diplomatic posturing, empty phrases, and staggering inaction.’
Earlier than that, on Thursday, Might 23, the Al-Aqsa Hospital handled dozens of Palestinians injured in an Israeli shelling on a welfare ministry web site. Twelve folks have been killed in that assault. In keeping with Dr. Khalil al-Degran, “Many of the our bodies [recovered] have been burnt.”
After that, between the afternoons of Might 25 and Might 26, greater than 80 Palestinians have been murdered within the span of 24 hours. Make that 81, says an up to date dispatch. As I mentioned, no sooner does one frantically jot down the numbers, than these figures turn into out of date, solely ever accreting.
Additionally on Might 26, 30 folks have been butchered in a tent metropolis, designated a “protected zone,” West of Rafah, near the UNWRA headquarters. So reported the Center East Eye.
The next day got here the Rafah camp bloodbath. By the twenty seventh, the butcher’s invoice had soared some extra: 45 human beings have been executed by the Israelis. Amongst their human stays have been a “headless little one and charred our bodies.”
Two minutes and 55 seconds right into a Might 9 report curtesy of “Democracy Now,” a small Ghazzawi little one cries: “We have been baking bread… My good friend died. They picked him up in items. Every thing is in items.” (“Support Employee in Gaza: ‘To Say There’s Not an Incursion in Rafah Proper Now Is Patently False.”)
Behind the swirl of statistics are human beings, whose lives are grieved and whose untrammeled resilience is well known not by the loutish Jake Tapper or Erin Burnett or Dana Bash or Wolf Blitzer of CNN; not by BBC Information, nor Sky, or MSNBC, or foofy French TV, or Fox Information, or Newsmax bobbleheads. For these louts, the worth of Palestinian life simply doesn’t charge a point out in comparison with Jewish life.
On June 8, Israel, aided by the media mafia throughout the International North, confirmed that over seventy Palestinians have been murdered for each one of many 4 Israeli hostages retrieved in an American-supported raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.
Throughout that bloodbath, described by the identical media as a rescue, Israeli commando perfidiously, and thus illegally, used humanitarian aid autos as cowl. This too is in character: Earlier of their genocide program, Israeli coward commando had dedicated a bloodbath within the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, wearing scrubs.
Among the many 274 displaced folks robbed of their lives at Nuseirat have been “at the very least 64 youngsters.” Upwards of 700 folks have been wounded. “Kids have been shot useless. Aged folks have been shot useless. Girls have been shot useless,” reported Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri, who was on the Nuseirat refugee camp that Saturday.
Two days prior, on June sixth, the IDF had warmed up with slaughter at a United Nations-linked college, additionally within the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing at the very least 40 displaced Palestinians, amongst whom have been 14 youngsters, and injuring dozens extra, based on officers and native media” (Al Jazeera & EI). On June 16, 41 Palestinians have been killed in assorted IDF assaults.
Every thing I simply instructed you is outdated information. On June 23, Israeli forces hit one more UNRWA middle serving Palestinian refugees. They killed at the very least eight folks. This homicide of individuals queuing for meals coupons adopted a earlier tent-city terrorist assault by Israel in Mawasi, on June 21, the place 25 displaced Palestinians have been killed and 50 wounded.
A brand new information crawl alerts me to an up to date butcher’s invoice: 37,598 souls have been slain since October 7; 86,032 maimed.
Scrap the above. For the fourth time inside the temporal confines of this essay, I replace the quantity of Palestinians murdered (37,626) and maimed (86,098).
One in all Israel’s newest victims is Hani al-Jafarawi, a healer, the director of ambulance and emergency companies in Gaza. On June 24, Israel murdered him. Rage from the heavens, Hani.
IDF struggle criminals look like programed very similar to their companion, Synthetic Intelligence, auto-kill laptop techniques. Often called “Lavender,” the killer code has been utilized to Gaza at massive. “Lavender” is the brainchild of Israel’s infamous Unit 8200, which is comprised of a choose group of mama’s boys (and some women), groomed to snoop, hack, and murderer in code. (Usually recruited to Silicon Valley, to Boston’s high-tech hall, and, presumably, to Washington State’s techno-town; these characters might be coming to a group close to you, close to me.)
“… I do know the blasphemy of those that say they’re Jews and are usually not, however are a synagogue of Devil,” mentioned Jesus to John in his imaginative and prescient at first of the E book of Revelation (2:9). This “Synagogue of Devil” (Jesus’ phrase, not mine) makes up its personal legislation of struggle. As long as the IDF can declare they’re concentrating on a “Hamas fighter,” all of the extra so a senior Hamas resistance fighter—they, with the imprimatur of their “judiciary,” permit themselves to homicide as much as 100 Palestinian civilians.
As astounding and brave because the efforts of volunteers like Nurse Johnston, her Palestinian and American group members, and UN employees have been; they pale compared to what Gaza’s personal healthcare employee do and endure every day.
Gaza’s docs and nurses are not being paid. Most are homeless, hungry and dehydrated. Many stroll miles a day to are inclined to their sufferers in what stays of the instructing hospitals by which they as soon as proudly practiced first-world medication.
Hors de fight? Not in your life. Gaza’s healers ought to be out of motion. They don’t seem to be. On these exceptional folks soldier. Salute their fallen, salute their spirit.
CO-OPTING HUMAN-RIGHTS LAW
Eviction notices floating down on Gaza are framed as merciful Evacuation notices, the duty of ‘an ethical navy’ discharged.
With growing regularity, the “use of air energy” has been prolonged to the West Financial institution, “whatever the collateral harm to youngsters and different civilians caught within the blasts,” stories the Intercept.
Underneath all types of diabolical authorized lies and loopholes—comparable to that the West Financial institution is, too, a theater of struggle and that Israel is true to the worldwide legal guidelines of struggle—Israel’s authorized establishments, its Supreme Courtroom included, are inclined, invariably, to exonerate the Israeli occupation forces of their crimes.
As an illustration, in 2006, and after making all the suitable noises about Israel’s authorized obligation to guard civilians beneath customary worldwide legislation, the best courtroom concluded that it might not outlaw “focused executions,” because the petitioning get together requested, as a result of worldwide legislation was too murky in regards to the idea and the apply.
Israel’s Supreme Courtroom of the Non Sequitur dominated that the “lawfulness of such killings, based on the courtroom, was to be decided based on the actual circumstances of every case.” (“The Public Committee in opposition to Torture in Israel et al. v. The Authorities of Israel et al., Supreme Courtroom of Israel, 14 December 2006.”)
Israel’s systemically slippery strategy to Customary Worldwide Humanitarian Regulation is illustrated within the “Anatomy of a Genocide” by Francesca Albanese. This UN particular rapporteur on the human-rights dispensation within the West Financial institution and Gaza had analytically and fairly brilliantly illustrated how the Israelis cloak their murderous rampages on civilians within the raiment of human-rights nomenclature.
Primarily, whoever will get hit in Gaza is forfeit by default. In spite of everything, has not the IDF, “probably the most ethical navy drive on this planet,” showered Gaza with Kafkaesque leaflets, sending Gazans scampering hither and yon? Has not this drive for evil droned and drowned Gazans with data on learn how to save their sorry selves? In fact it has! Ergo, if Gazans die by US-supplied high-payload munitions; it’s on them.
Crafty with out braveness: That is how knaves, for the Israelis I’ve noticed thus far are shifty, not intelligent, co-opt human-rights legislation language to execute harmless human beings.
Or evict them. Give it some thought: Eviction notices floating down on Gaza are framed as merciful evacuation notices, the duty of “an ethical navy” discharged.
Nonsense on stilts.
Irrespective of who has dedicated against the law in my neighborhood or in its neighborhood; Washington State has no proper to show me out of my house, which is mine, which I personal. The state actually has no proper to pulverize my house as a result of its brokers consider outlaws disguise within the neighborhood.
As to the mercy of eviction-cum-evacuation à la Israel: Gazans, a million of them, as detailed already, had been shooed from Raffah, as much as Al-Mawasi, and different barren coastal stretches, rendered barren due to prior IDF blitzkriegs. There, these Palestinians many occasions displaced have been imagined to “safely” await the following part of Israel’s holocaustal struggle and twisted psychological warfare in opposition to them. A merciful evacuation, promised the sadists. “By the ebook,” The Torturers instructed the tortured.
I’m unhappy however not stunned to report that Al-Mawasi, “designated a humanitarian protected zone, was bombed on Might the twenty eighth. Twenty-one displaced folks have been murdered of their tents; “64 folks have been injured, together with 10” with life-altering accidents.
ISRAEL’S LAW OF RULE IN THE WEST BANK
A mixed “effort” between IDF- and safety drive troopers and settlers within the West Financial institution and East Jerusalem is chargeable for pogroms by which over 528 Palestinians have been murdered since October 7, amongst whom have been 126 youngsters.
By their lonesome, the soldier-supported West Financial institution settlers have murdered ten Palestinians within the territory on this time. No arrests are made. Israeli “lawlessness has turn into the legislation” within the West Financial institution, concedes the New York Occasions (NYT).
The NYT has facilitated Israel’s October 7 hoaxes of mass, systemic rape, butchered bellies and beheaded infants—“atrocity propaganda” initially debunked by the Grey Zone, the Digital Intifada and zei_squirrel, then seconded, belatedly, by the Occasions of London. A small concession although it was; the NYT has seen match to excoriate the settlers, dubbing them “The Unpunished.”
The Washington Publish has additionally deigned to doc the “Israeli settler rampage” in opposition to Palestinians whose “properties are burned and animals killed” throughout the West Financial institution. (April 16, 2024.) “[I]t is within the West Financial institution [that] the corrosive long-term results of the occupation on Israeli legislation … are most obvious,” write New York Occasions journal correspondents Ronen Bergman and Mark Mazzetti. “The lengthy arc of harassment, assault and homicide of Palestinians by Jewish settlers is twinned with a shadow historical past, one in all silence, avoidance and abetment by Israeli officers.” (“The Unpunished: How Extremists Took Over Israel,” Might 16, 2024.)
In all of the West Financial institution circumstances examined by the Occasions’ authors, “involving [settler] misdeeds as numerous as stealing livestock and assault and arson, not a single suspect was charged with against the law; in a single case, a settler shot a Palestinian within the abdomen whereas an Israel Protection Forces soldier appeared on, but the police questioned the shooter for under 20 minutes, and by no means as a felony suspect, based on an inner Israeli navy memo.” (Ibid)
Strictly sectarian, the sensibility instantiated in Israeli legislation is that this: “If a Jew is killed, that’s horrible. If an Arab is killed, that’s not good, nevertheless it’s not the top of the world.”
Adjoining, within the Negev, Bedouin properties are demolished, too, and lots of evicted, their land grabbed. Eviction or demolition: Worry of the identical is a part of Palestinian life within the West Financial institution and past.
Palestinian farmer s and the sheepherders of the South Hebron Hills stay in every day worry for his or her lives and the lives of households and livestock. Spite and sadism drive settlers to slaughter these helpless creatures with biblical cruelty. (Proud members and donors wish to hear PETA say/do one thing about saving animals dying alongside their homeowners in Gaza and the West Financial institution.)
It’s mentioned that serial killers begin with animals. Animals and youngsters: For Israeli troopers and settlers, assaults on probably the most susceptible of dwelling beings is all in a day’s work.
PALESTINIANS VALIDATED VIA ARGUMENTATION
The Hoppean precept utilized on this essay’s opening catches Israel within the act of denying genocide whereas committing genocide. The identical argumentation serves, in our coda, to validate the Palestinians’ actuality, as they’ve been telling it to a principally unbelieving universe (myself included) over a long time.
The Hoppean proposition deployed to hint the contours of Israel’s actuality is that this: Israel can’t deny it’s engaged in genocide because it enacts genocide. Because it does, it should be seen as performing a lie for which it deserves the contempt reserved for many who are mired in and embody lies and contradictions.
Utilizing the identical meta-principle, Israel’s televised genocide has corroborated the truth of the Palestinians—their causes for resentment and resistance—as they’ve been telling it to the world.
Palestinians have instructed us they’re being killed and robbed as a matter in fact. Their actuality has been irrefutably affirmed since October 7.
Gaza is a desert of the useless and the dying. It has been rendered thus by Israel’s unrelenting, methodical extermination operations carried out in opposition to the folks of Gaza, in opposition to the infrastructure and in opposition to the verdant land that had supported the Strip’s folks.
In a different way put: Palestinians beneath Israel are maybe probably the most imperiled folks on this planet. If the proponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza have been to disclaim this; they’d be dwelling a lie. To show the liar’s lifetime of lies; the denier of the Palestinian actuality must be compelled to stay his personal lie. How would our holocaust denier be pressured into performing or dwelling his lie?
Like this: The denier of the Palestinian holocaust must be parachuted into the midst of the dwelling ghosts of Gaza. He could be filmed as he lives the lifetime of a Palestinian, operating hither and yon because the tanks advance on him, or ducking-and-diving throughout bombardments from above, as if one can escape the loss of life radius of a 2000- or 500 pound, American-made bomb.
The denier of the Palestinian holocaust could be recorded scratching for scraps, lugging jerricans of brackish, contaminated consuming water again to his nylon dwelling, clambering over kilometers of decaying constructions, by way of ruins and twisted steel. Our digicam’s viewfinder will discover the denier queuing with hundreds to make use of a single functioning bathroom, plumbing having been pulverized by the Israelis. She or he could be taped up-close within the throes of dysentery, sepsis, and hunger; intubated or cannulated or amputated or C-sectioned with out narcotics, writhing on a hospital flooring as slippery as an abattoir, listening to the incessant whirring above of Israel’s killer-cum-spy drones.
Over 9 months, in actual time, Gazans have been worn to a shadow earlier than our eyes. We thus know the ontological reality about Palestinian plight beneath Israeli occupation. It’s as they’ve been telling it.
