The war in Iran has shifted the focus from Gaza.

Some 76,000 are known to have been killed in Gaza. The real figure is many, many more. The aim is to obliterate its schools, libraries, hospitals, universities and people – it’s very memory. This is textbook genocide.

Reports confirmed recently by the New York Times outline the scale of destruction – including the most brutal of tortures, the deliberate shooting of toddlers as target practice and even the use of dogs to rape prisoners.

Why does the ‘civilised’ west do nothing? Put crudely, Israel is an ally in the ‘wests’ battle to maintain its global superiority.

This is the main reason Britain has resorted to criminalising those who oppose the slaughter despite the top court in the world declaring Gaza to be a ‘plausible’ genocide.

The reach of the pro-Israel lobby embraces ALL political movements by design. The Friends of Israel are substantially present in Labour, Conservative and Reform. They provide funding for MPs. Half the current Labour cabinet are members of the Labour Friends of Israel. The current Foreign Secretary is a vocal backer.

Even the Lib Dems have a Friends of Israel group, albeit increasingly marginalised. There is no such group in the Greens – so now its Jewish Leader is getting the Jeremy Corbyn treatment and being condemned as an ‘antisemite’.

Tommy Robinson, who coordinated the recent ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration, founded the English Defence League. It was originally called ‘The English and Jewish Defence League’. At demonstrations Israeli flags fly next to the Union Flag. Apart from receiving funding from pro-Israel sources, Robinson uses his links with Israel to rebut allegations of Nazism and sees Israel as a ‘bulwark’ against Muslims. He admires it as an ethno-nationalist state – his aspiration for Britain.

Zionism is Jewish nationalism. It is a political belief - not the religion of Judaism. It maintains that Jews must have their own ethnic state that makes Palestinians subservient. In the original Israel there was to be ‘equal rights’ for all. Jewish domination was achieved by it being the in-built majority following the expulsion of three quarters of a million Palestinians. As the country has expanded into occupied Palestinian territory (in Gaza and the West Bank) where Palestinians are in a majority the ‘liberal Zionists’ have been replaced by ruthless messianic Zionists who believe that the land was promised to them by God – even though many of them were born abroad and have no relationship at all with the place.

Gaza is a watershed in world history. The wests support of Israel exposes it as hypocritical to large parts of the world. So, in the recent vote for rotating places on the UN Security Council, for the first time Germany failed to get elected. The German Foreign Minister blamed Russia and ‘Gaza’......

So desperate is the west to hang onto its global dominance that it will even ignore genocide. When it is finally revealed we must not allow ANYBODY to say they didn’t know it was happening.
