She was right.
Although there are monsters.
They just hide in plain sight and most choose to ignore them or never realise they're there.

Imagine being so hopelessly naive or ideologically fanatical that you can't understand the racist extremism of Zionism.

It's rare to see a more flagrant attempt to manipulate public opinion with outrageous propaganda.

In case anyone hasn't been paying attention, Hamas has offered to return all the hostages and give up all power for an end to the genocide.
Israel refuses every time.
Because it's all about territory acquisition and always was.
Why?
That is what Zionism is. Openly flagrantly.

Today I head a radio host, a politician on TV and now this article all saying the same thing.
The vast numbers of deaths of Palestinians in Gaza is entirely the fault of Hamas.
Israel has no moral culpability or accountability whatsoever.
It is now far beyond what even George Orwell imagined.

The Israeli defence Minister.
The Israeli gov thinks annihilation is the response to the deaths of Israeli's on October 7th.
By this horrific and absurd logic, Israel suffered no terrorism, only appropriate responses to its decades of killings of Palestinians.
But it doesn't think that at all.

David Ben-Gurion was Israel's first PM. He was a known terrorist before that.
The radical fundamentalist nature of Zionism that Gurion & others began, and continues today, is seen in his quotes.
Jewish, Arab and other lives all sacrificed for the ever expanding state of Israel.

He says this to portray Israel as the victim, to create sympathy and therefore poltical room for manoeuvre as a result.
A war that Israel started, under entirely false pretences as all Western intelligence agencies say Iran was not building nukes.
So, does Iran have a right to self defence?

With the only caveat being that the Israeli number may be far higher but we can't know because they don't allow any inspections, nor officially confirm the programme at all.
Unlike every other nuclear nation.

Which country has:
-Threatened to take Greenland by force
-Started a hugely damaging trade war
-Sanctioned the ICC for issuing arrest warrants against Israel
-Said it actively supports political parties intent on breaking the EU apart
So yes, Rubio, Europe should be clear on who the real enemy is.

The Nazis wanted to kill as many Jews and other minorities as possible because they said they posed an immense threat to Germany.
It was a horrific genocide born from hatred.
Today nearly two thirds of Israeli's have adopted the same all consuming and all excusing hatred.
The west looks on.

The Minister of defence for Israel labels a small boat carrying some activists and aid to Palestinians a 'hate flotilla'.
Zionism is a deranged ideology committed to controlling western opinions through absurd propaganda.
And it works on many.
Which is utterly absurd.
For eight decades.

Israel: We won’t let independent reporters into Gaza for their safety.
Also Israel: We "tied up, blindfolded, strip searched, interrogated and threatened" BBC reporters in Syria. "Their electronic devices were also taken from them and material was deleted."

This is how Zionism is destroying the post World War 2 international order.
As it does, its supporters celebrate and mock as below what so many have worked hard to establish.
Eventually, European liberal democracies will realise Zionism is one of, if not the primary threat to global peace.

Many Europeans, including so called liberals, are astonishingly and horrifyingly indifferent to the 10s of thousands of Killed Palestinian children.

10s of millions of right wing Europeans hold wildlly incoherent views:
1. They support Israeli and US war mongering against Muslim countries, irrespective of the devastating effect it has on the Middle East.
2. They think asylum seekers are one of Europe's biggest problems.

If this happens in Europe, along with 1.5% for intelligence, European liberal democracy will collapse.
Our demographics, debt & low growth will require severe tax rises/cuts to pay for it.
Far right populism will capitalise on the falling living standards.
Which is precisely what the US wants.
