Defenders of Israel will always claim it is a democracy with all the checks and balances of a democracy, but Israel’s decision to shut down Al Jazeera flies in the face of those pretensions.
This is an authoritarian regime, propped up by Billions in US Military Aid to oppress and occupy the remaining shreds of Palestinian land and they are perfectly happy to quell any democratic norm to enforce a Jewish State rather than a State of Israel.
Netanyahu’s entire political career has been built upon inflaming Palestinian rage, responding violently with disproportionate force and harvest the Israeli extremist vote at the ballot box.
He is a ruthless, dangerous and corrupt player of the game. He needs to escalate and feed this conflict because the moment he doesn’t is the moment the Israeli establishment turns on him for the Intelligence failure of October 7th.
There are 1.4million desperate Palestinians huddled in Rafah, this conflict has already breached the technical standards of ethnic cleansing war crime and any actual full scale attack on Rafah could easily tip that into open genocide.
Right now 34,789 people have been killed and 78,204 wounded.
They suspect at least 10 000 more dead under the rubble that they haven’t managed to dig out.
So we are closing in on 50 000 dead, the majority of whom have been women and children.
Invading Rafah would be an atrocity too far.
If Israel invades Rafah, there will be an unimaginable blowback.

Israeli Gov’t Prevents Al Jazeera Shut Down Fearing Harm to Qatari Hostage Mediation
Israel’s cabinet approved emergency regulations allowing the government to close media channels that security officials believe harm state security, but both the communications minister and attorney general have said that the decision rests with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant

…Israel’s government is refraining from shutting down Al Jazeera’s operations in the country to avoid undermining Qatar’s mediation efforts for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, political sources say.

Israel’s cabinet unanimously voted to shut down Al Jazeera in the country on Sunday, immediately ordering the closure of its offices and a ban on the company’s broadcasts.

The banning of the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, signals that the Netanyahu cabinet do not care if it ‘undermines’ Qatar’s mediation efforts for the release of Israeli hostages.
The only conclusion is that the Netanyahu cabinet does not want the hostages returned.
As well as being hostages they are witnesses – when Gazans are bombed and killed by Israel, hostages are bombed and killed by Israel, when Gazans are starved by Israel hostages are starved by Israel.
An Israeli delegation being sent to Cairo to join the negotiations, serves only to fool the domestic audience in Israel that the Netanyahu cabinet want the hostages returned.
The hostages are witnesses to war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. Israel does not want them back.
Israeli cabinet determination to eliminate the hostage nuisance.

And the criminal puppet state that is abetting the zionist terrorists has multiple bases in New Zealand used to help murder humans- at Christchurch Airport, Waihopai, and Tangimoana.
For psychotic genocidal zionists like Winston Peters, ‘israel’ is a real country, a ‘democracy’ with the ‘rule of law’.
Let’s look at actual examples. Ever since ‘israel’ has existed, it has developed weapons of mass destruction and used them against civilians. It has long been known among ‘israel’s victims that ‘israel’ has a policy of poisoning water sources to kill and expel Palestinian civilians, but zionists denied this and called it a ‘blood libel’ since 1948. They were always lying. In 2022, zionist historian Benny Morris admitted, based on long suppressed files from the zionist archives, that every university founded by the zionists in occupied Palestine in 1948 took part in the biological weapons program of the ‘Israel Science Corps’ to develop weaponized bacteriums that were then used against Palestinian wells. Morris still, incidentally, supports the existence of ‘israel’. A disgusting man.

Zionists make absurd claims that Hamas committed atrocities against civilians, baking 40 beheaded babies in ovens or shooting random women and so on. Lies, but all things that zionists actually do and did. In their terrorist attack on Deir Yassin, the zionists tried to make the village baker, Hussain al-Shareef, throw his young son into the oven of his bakery. When he refused, they threw his son in, and then after Hussain watched his son die, forced him in to burn to death. Zionists love to burn innocent babies alive, they often celebrate these atrocities in their wedding ceremonies and religious celebrations. The only thing they love better than killing kids is raping them.

Liars like Peters pretend this is a war between ‘israel’ and Hamas. This is obvious nonsense. There is an ongoing war between ‘israel’ and anyone who refuses to be their slaves. They murder people all over the earth, for no reason at all- just look at the murder of Ahmed Bouchikhi, a random waiter in Norway, by zionists who claimed they were trying to murder a Palestinian freedom fighter who he didn’t even remotely resemble. Any vaguely tanned guy would do for those psychopathic murderers.
And the zionist regime supports every single crime that zionists do. It always has. The atrocities committed by the zionists in 1948 and since have never been confined to Palestine. Just look at the Hula massacre. The zionists invaded out of Palestine into Lebanon. They seized control of a village- where noone resisted- and proceeded to force the entire male population into a house before shooting them and blowing up the house on top of them. The only ‘IDF’ officer who was tried was given a sentence of only 1 year in prison, for murdering more than 50 civilians, and released early. He was then given a full pardon, and made the head of the ‘Jewish Agency’, a zionist NGO working hand in hand with the zionist regime that has been illegally given control of a majority of the land of Palestine and refuses to allow the legitimate Palestinian population to even rent any of it.

The most basic core principals of a Democracy is the right to a trial by your peers, good luck claiming to be the only democracy in the Meddle
(deliberate spelling mistake) East. Israel is the master of gaslighting and has been since the 1800s with the most successful one being “A land for a people, for a people without a land” despite clear historical evidence it was occupied.
To totally negate Israels propaganda of antisemitism by saying from the river to the sea is antisemitic which BTW was originally a Jewish saying protesters should be chanting loudly “2 people, 1 land”
2 people, 1 land. As in India pre- 1948. Before land was stolen from the Hindus to create Pakistan? Why do you think that was necessary?
Rafah Flashpoint Approaching
In more ways than one.
A ceasefire deal is on the table. Hamas have signed it. Many Israelis are starting to realise that if Israel does not agree to sign, and goes ahead with the invasion of Rafah it will be a death sentence for the hostages. If no hostages are rescued during this operation it could spark a huge social explosion in Israel itself.
The scary thing is , that as evil as Netanyahu is there are members of his coalition govt who are even further to the right than him .
The playbook of war crimes and ethnic cleansing,,,,, that Israel have been enacting and murderously working towards since Oct 7th ( but on a far larger scale), has taken place in our modern recent past ,,,,,
However it was largely unreported, downplayed and largely ignored by our western media ,,,, leading to the widespread ignorance that is one of a ‘dirty medias’ objectives.
A quick lesson in recent history , Learn and Compare … “Sri Lankans face humanitarian crisis trapped in ‘no fire zone’, warns UN” — Rafa was a ‘safe zone/no fire/nobombing zone’ stated Israel,,, until the Bulk of Palestinians Gabzan refugees were corralled there ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“More than 150,000 people are being shelled daily and are running short of water and medicine in a Sri Lankan-government declared “No Fire Zone”, according to witness reports and United Nations briefing documents” ,,,,,,,,, ‘Deja slaughter-house vu’, Israel bombards and blockades it’s civilian victims too ,, the kids Israel blows apart are most often hungry and die with a empty tummy when Israel kills them. ,,,
“Sri Lanka has ignored calls for a ceasefire,”,,,,,,, Same with the Likud coalition of murderous extremists
“The doctor in charge of the makeshift hospitals in the No Fire Zone, T Sathiyamoorthy, told the Guardian that civilians were being “repeatedly shelled for no reason”, “It is not possible to verify any of the reports because independent access to the area is denied by the government.”,,, ditto for Israel banning (and murdering the press),, Kill the witnesses and gag the message ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
“The Sri Lankan government has accused Dr Sathiyamoorthy of acting as a mouthpiece for the LTTE.” ,,, Israel and zionists accuses health workers in Gaza of working for and being mouthpieces for Hamas ,,,
“The army’s bombardment had seen bodies pile up in the safe zone – and local staff of aid agencies working in the government safe zone were among the dead.”,,,,, again Just like Israel..
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/23/srilanka-tigers-humanitarian-crisis
If you remember what Sri Lanka did this century ,, then recognizing what Israel has been and is doing,,, becomes clear and obvious,,,, for ages now….. we even had a leaked Israeli plan *
The main difference between Sri Lanka and Israels situation,,,, is the Gazan Palestinians have a (Egyptian) desert that Israel is trying to ethnically cleanse them into ,,,,, Whereas the Tamils only had a sea/ocean water into which they could flee,, and drown.
Israel latest round of telling lies about Hamas is the same shit continuing that they did on Oct 7th https://youtu.be/pNoAjW1lRWI?t=705
They were then, and are now,,,,Spreading lies about crimes that did not happen and things that were not and are not real real ,,, https://youtu.be/_0atzea-mPY?t=2073
They use their Lies to try and justify Israels evil actions that are part of their illegal plans https://youtu.be/-mxfnya3ZRc?t=230
All child abusers, violent criminals, and those who support them tell lies ,,,, they have to …
Truth is the disinfectant that all criminals fear,,,, Exposure is the first step before consequences ,,,
Cleaning house starts at home ,,,, the truth is the disinfectant,,,, and defeating just one form of corruption here threatens corruption every-where.
We are a small pond in which it is easier to make a big splash ,,, and our small pond can make a big difference ,,, in the world wide problem of fighting corruption, zionisim is just a particularly violent form of that world wide corruption.,,, it is based on lies and deceit.
The domino effect of people exposing truth and cleaning house here ,,, is something the corruptly powerful are scared of everywhere ,,,
It would be good for both us, and the world,,, if we did the work to get our good reputation back.
Fight the lies ….
Free Assange
Stop the Genocide,,,
Charge our war criminals,,,,
