What worries me more than ever is the normalizing of this type of warfare. It will not remain contained in Gaza nor will it remain against the Palestinians. I am miffed at the fact that the so-called leaders of the so-called civilized world are not acting strongly to stop this type of warfare.

"Is Israel openly and belligerently giving the world the middle finger?"

You ask a question whose answer has been painfully clear since 1947, when the Zionists and their Western sponsors assembled in their newly constructed theater of the absurd to orchestrate what may well be history’s most brazen middle finger to humanity: the partition of Palestine against the will of all the peoples in the region.

That act of defiance was barbaric then, and it has remained so for decades. Yet in recent years, it has sunk into even deeper depths of despair, emboldened by the unrelenting violence of the regime’s patron saint. Need not too far look to far examples of the Empire`s barbarism, just Google Abu Ghraib prison.

I do not wish to diminish the profound suffering and inhumanity the Israeli regime has inflicted on Palestinians. But when has the regime ever not inflicted such cruelty? Of course they do not care what the world thinks. For nearly 80 years, they’ve flipped off all who objects with glee, and with the blessing of the Empire and its obedient vassal states. Sadly as has been for the decades, not enough object, and those who do object to loudly are often silenced,

You say this must be stopped, that our world is doomed. But to whom is this plea addressed? Who do you think will read your plea? Here in this new domain, this sanctuary for all those who are bored with X, are we not still inside the belly of the Empire? And within its belly, are we not surrounded by the same zealots who long for the end, who whip themselves into a messianic frenzy, masturbating to fantasies of Armageddon promised by charlatan ministers and their so-called holy books? Look no further than the Christian Fundamentalist psychopath Trump appointed as his new ambassador to Israel

The regime’s goal of making Gaza uninhabitable is no isolated madness. it is calculated and externally influenced. Talk of a new “Riviera” is a distraction. Look deeper, look beneath the sludge of propaganda floating all around you (shit and lies float, truth and fact sink). Dig into the seabed just offshore from Gaza. There lies the truth: vast natural gas deposits. And then you’ll understand why a Palestinian state can never be allowed, greed my dear, the insatiable greed of the merchants of war, they could never tolerate a prosperous Palestinian state , the Empire`s mission, this century has been to crush every non-subservient oil/gas rich nation. Russia thus far is the only oil/gas rich nation which withstood the Empire attacks, (Canada got warning).

No, when the Empire speaks of rebuilding Gaza into a Riviera. Perhaps it will after a fashion. But not for Palestinians. They’ll need housing for the workers who will drill, who will lay pipelines, through a tamed Syria and on through to Turkey, so that Europe’s vassal states can suckle at the Empire’s breast instead of Russia’s
