There is a madness currently being spread by the MAGA Trolls that Donald Trump deserves some sort of ‘praise’ for the ceasefire in Gaza.
What a load of bullshit for 3 reasons.
1 – All Trump did was threaten people who had suffered a Genocide with more violence.
2 – A ceasefire during a genocide isn’t justice, it’s just a pause in torture
and 3 – Fucking Trump cause this uprising!
WHY DO YOU ALL HAVE THE MEMORIES OF GOLDFISH???
In January of 2023, 9 months before Hamas launched their attack, I wrote that all the ingredients of another Palestinian uprising had been met thanks to Trump’s insane pandering to the evangelical vote to make Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
Trump made Jerusalem the capital of Israel in 2017 because his lunatic evangelical voter block believe one of the pre-conditions of the rapture is Israel going back to its Old Testament Boundaries.
This naked pandering by Trump to the happy happy joy joy evangelical Apocalypse club set off an explosion of Zionist land grabs focused in the West Bank while continuing to brutally occupy Gaza with a never ending blockade.
Those land grabs wound their way through Israel’s judicial system and went against the Zionists who in turn politicised and formed important fringe groups who cut deals with the deeply corrupt Netanyahu which culminated in a show down between the far right Zionists who wanted to over ride judicial orders against their illegal settlements and Israeli civil society who were disgusted by the abuse of power, state over reach and the strangling off of an Independent Judiciary.
The perverse outcome of Trump’s Abraham Accords that sought to normalise relations between Israel and the Sunni Petrostates, is that it cut the Palestinians out altogether meaning their suffering under the oppressive (and illegal) Israeli Occupation would never find hope and their aspirations silenced.
All these ingredients came together on October 7th as Hamas launched a highly organised attack on Israel murdering 695 civilians, 71 foreigners (mostly Thai), 373 security/soldiers and taking 250 hostages. That attack has generated a disproportionate genocidal response from Israel that has killed over 46 000 + the 10 000 under rubble + the 182 000 Palestinians that have died from secondary causes because of the immense violence.
We are knocking on quarter of a million dead, hundreds of thousands wounded, over 60% of Gaza flattened and the startling reality the IDF have in one year dropped more bombs on Gaza than London, Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined…
…watching Israeli apologists scream that their disproportionate ethnic cleansing war crime against the Palestinians isn’t a Genocide and that you are anti-semitic for suggesting so in the shadow of the mountain of dead Palestinians they have killed, manages to encapsulate the insanity, malice and blind hate of the last year.
To congratulate Trump for a ceasefire to a conflict he triggered is a special type of intellect.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Trump is like Bob the fist, arrogant, ignorant and takes credit for others success.
Remind me again what has Trump done ever in his life that has been successful? 4 bankruptcies don’t count and sex with multiple women doesn’t count.
I don’t think you get it NSC. To have had 4 bankruptcies and still be flying is a sign that you are above the ordinary, you do what you like and walk away not even wiggling out.
And sex, well that’s like having eggs for breakfast, supposed to be good for you and never done you no harm so why not when you are in the mood, but only then otherwise it would be a chore.
Excellent insight and writing, absolutely correct.
Drones are my new hate thing. Casual introduction of new tools for being a nuisance, invading privacy, to hands-clean violence. Amoral attitudes in the 21st century; we just love our toys especially when they hurt.
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (I Corinthians 13:11). The apostle Paul’s admonition to believers is to put away childish things.

We have adopted AI so we don’t have to think about anything ever again, so we need never feel guilty. Doh we can say to everything like Homer Simpson.
This genocide is on the outgoing administration, Biden, Blinken et al. Biden approved arms shipment after arms shipment to Israel and on the last day of his presidency claimed he had brought peace to the region with a ceasefire deal. Blinken is the modern-day equivalent of a Goebbels, preaching democracy and rules-based order where there is none. ‘Respect the process’ he says, a process of suppressing journalism and free speech, of bullying companies when they are too successful, of appropriating public funds for private gain, of destroying countries to steal their resources, of mass murder and terrorism. Why aren’t these people in the Hague?
So true.
Of course, just like Israel, they will never be held accountable.
