Like I’ve said before, I was an ardent supporter of Israel when I still believed in all the fairy tales told to us by the grifters who disguise themselves as holy men. When I still believed that they were the chosen people, the rest of us just the accompanying choir. I look around and see all the injustices in this world, all the pain and suffering, the natural disasters, the buying and selling of human beings, especially children. I see all this, but I must have faith? I must believe that there’s a devil running amok, creating all this mischief, with no intervention? I should believe that God chooses one race over all the rest, as the chosen. Then I must believe that it is a just God, treating us all the same. I’m confused. If the deck is already stacked, why bother believing in anything? Why would this entity that created us all allow all that pain and misery we humans inflict on each other?

I was watching the program 60 Minutes earlier, and what I saw made me so angry, so sad, so bitter! To see innocent men, women and children, being slaughtered mercilessly, children living in inhumane conditions while the rest of us live a life of leisure and peace and security. What did the people of Palestine, and Gaza in particular, do, to receive this kind of retribution? To be ordered to move to clear out terrorists, and then being bombed to smithereens anyway? To be denied aid and comfort and shelter and food and water and fuel. To have children freezing and starving and maimed and killed. What did they do to deserve this? Does God hate these people? And apparently so does Satan!

I will never blame the Israeli people for this genocide. I don’t even blame those religious zealots that side with the real criminals and Netanyahu, their leader. Netanyahu is a war criminal. He is responsible, along with his racist Cabinet, for everything that has happened before and since October 7, 2023! it is ironic that I have to say this, but a Nuremberg like trial has to be held after this war is over, to try these perpetrators of chaos and upheaval and death on the Palestinian population!

Hamas is a terrorist organization. The unbelievable violence, the inhumanity that they showed their victims is inexcusable, and I hope they are all punished for the atrocities committed against innocent Israeli civilians. What they did is indefensible, no matter their reasons for such actions. How could they have carried out this operation for over 9 hours without the Israeli defense forces intervening? I’m still waiting for an answer to that question. The ever vigilant, the greatest defense force in the world, was awol.

I blame Netanyahu and his criminal Cabinet for everything that occurred on that day and since. The West has been talking about a 2-state solution for as long as I can remember. It will never happen, in my opinion. Netanyahu does not want it; the settlers, who are living on Palestinian lands don’t want it; the Christians, who hate Jews but need them for the rapture and Jerusalem, don’t want it.

It is such a con, the way the Palestinians are treated, like pawns on a chessboard with no winners, just everlasting suffering! The thing is, this has been going on for so long that we’re immune to the plight and suffering of these people! We have abandoned them for so long, because they don’t have oil or leadership or influence, so they suffer.

Netanyahu and his crew want them out of Gaza and the West Bank. It is rumored that there’s a huge natural gas deposit below, but I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I believe that it’s all about the land, the land that was “promised” to Israel since time immemorial. Netanyahu is trying to fulfill that promise by eliminating a race of people who have more rights to those lands than their European usurpers!

I hope this all ends soon, the current slaughter of innocents, but I won’t hold my breath. I hope that the government of Israel pays a price for their insidious persecution of their cousins. After the holocaust, the mantra of the survivors and the world was: Never Again! I guess that doesn’t apply to the Palestinians.
