The very existence of the Genocidal Zionist terror state offers only one reasonable response to the people of the entire world, and that is to correctly label all and any Zionist Entities, the enemy of wholesome humanity and legitimate targets for eradication by absolutely any means that cleanses the world of such demonic evil.

At the least, global shunning—I mean absolutely everyone shunning, no trade, no diplomacy, no travel—may not save the Palestinians, but will end this atrocious Zionist regime.

Ah but Kit - let's not forget that 'right to self-defence' - which clearly includes the right to attack other countries first. Apparently.

Thank you for yet another v. good article.

Settle down. It took the neocons over a decade to get the War On Iraq that they so craved, but they got what they wanted.

If the neocons are good at nothing else, they are very good at bureaucratic infighting. When faced with a setback, they don't just throw up their hands and concede defeat "I guess you guys just won, fair and square!"

Rather, they retrench, lick their wounds, retreat to their preferred think tanks, regroup and try a new angle. They fight dirty if they have to. They don't give up until they get what they wanted and then they grab for more.

The zionst neocons are the architects behind the war on middle east and central asians aka "war on terror":

And it's is the SAME gang, behind this current war on the near east and Iran. Same gang of zionist neocoms, just a new generation doing it.

But they don't ever seem to actually ever get what they wanted. All they do is cause misery and death, and I trust that 'what they want' is a bit more interesting than that.

To do what? Power is useless unless it is exercised, and so far the exercise seems to be a bit too much for the tired old body.

To the rulers, power is a good, the sole good, in and of itself. For such people, life is a game, the object of which is to rise ever higher.

Wouldn't it be so pleasant if they stopped doing what they want and did what we want instead? Never going to happen obvs but it's so simple - hence they won't do it.

There needs to be a concerted effort to bring this eternal warmongers to justice... yes, yes, an impossibility, I know! Perhaps turn the tables,and using their methods and goals... aim for their decapitation instead! A safer and peaceful world will be the result no doubt.

How do you 'decapitate' a state where 2/3 of the population of the country support the actions of their heads of state and most Western governments, military and media are infiltrated by their supporters and enablers? The answer is that the state has to be dismantled and Zionism be recognized for the malign force it is, WHEREVER it is.

Firstly, you're replying to me, therefore whether you like it or not, that dictates the subject.

Secondly, is it possible to make your point without being vulgar?

The Rothschilds have been wreaking havoc on the world long before Zionism became part of our daily discourse. If they announce themselves as Jews, then Jews they are to me. As I am an atheist religion is irrelevant, however, if anyone uses it as a key identifier of who they are, who am I do disagree with them?!

If I recall correctly, Professor Norman Finkelstein too refers to them as 'the Jewish billionaire class'. Without them, Gaza would not be reduced to the state it in. Zionism has become a political highway exit for those caught in the web of blackmail and immorality.

FWIW, Zionism is not a religion and 'Jews' as such are no more than an ethnic group at best, many are secular and many are anti-Zionist, lumping them all together is exactly what the Zionists want you to do, because then it makes any criticism of Israel and Zionism anti-Semitism. Tell me how Katie Halper, Max Blumenthal, Keaton Weiss, Russell Dobular, the Mate family and many more fit into your blanket criticism. Anti-Semitism helps NO ONE!

As for the 'vulgarity', sometimes it makes the point, it seems to have with you anyway.

Zionism is a belief system. A fascist belief system, just like nazism.

And the sick adherents to zionism in the west claim it as a belief system, and demand that anyone who opposes it be persecuted for bigotry.

So there is only so far the game of semantics can be played. It's a dangerous, malignant belief system and should be cracked down on. Just like nazism. Because it is completely destroying not just the middle east, but the so called west too.

You appear to have a sufficient amount of difficulties, included is the inability to read with understanding. I said, "the Jewish billionaire class". None of the fine and humane beings you mentioned, are part of the "Jewish billionaire class".

Not every Billionaire is a Jew, and certainly not every Jew is a billionaire. But every billionaire is a part of this problem.

Adding the word "Jewish" to the equation just adds pointless complexity, and leaves one open to probably unfounded finger-points of racism.

It is understandable Norman Finkelstein did so, as a prominent anti-Zionazi Jewish intellectual, he likely wished to indicate a split within his OWN community.

But the billionaires behind Google and Microsoft, providing 'essential' services to Israhell - just as IBM did for the WW2 German Nazis - are not all Jewish.

 International law feels overwhelmingly primitive / dysfunctional in the 21st Century. It still lacks a specific tool to tackle lies, hypocrisy, and double standards, with special sanctions for those lies by the veto powers. Israeli liars and US cover-ups cannot be allowed a speech space in UNSC meetings. This just does not work: lies cannot share the same space of truth as equals.

Praps that's because international law was written by the sorts who only like to use it against others but never adhere to it themselves?

ON PRECISELY THIS ISSUE SEE ELUCIDATING 2ND HALF OF THIS INTERVIEW:

In this long interview, not a single word is waste. The following details of the history from 2005 to October 7th are crucial for the analysis and resolution of the conflict. Surprisingly, no academic has yet brought them to the forefront of the debate. It demonstrates that the strength of the argument resides in the detail. It must be widely and urgently disseminated and continued:

"...The “clearest example” of this failure, per INSS, was Tel Aviv’s blitzkrieg of Evin prison on June 23rd - a “symbolic blow…intended to encourage public mobilization.”.."

What this is, along with the wanton murder of Iranian scientists and their entire families, is one of the clearest examples of not only how deluded the zionist regime is, but also how sick and depraved BOTH they and their backers in the west are.

ALL of them in sync, supported these types of horrific actions. And as we speak they are not seeking to disarm and remove from power the sick Israeli regime, but instead are busy furthering the agenda of these war criminals by now moving to place sacntions on Iran. Andt hat is the same gang that flat out REFUSED to sanction Israel for itscountless war crimes.

Mr. K.K.’s bottom line, if I'm not mistaken: the “12-Day War” was Tel Aviv’s best shot (expensive, carefully choreographed, U.S.-assisted) and it *still* missed every stated goal.

Instead of cracking the Islamic Republic, it welded Iran tighter, burned through a decade’s worth of missiles and goodwill, and left Israel’s defense cupboard bare while the regime sits safer than ever. The report’s own four “next moves” read like a menu of self-immolation. And the think tank quietly concedes every one could backfire.

in other words, it boils down to this: Israel spent every shell and dollar it could muster to break Iran from inside and ended up gluing Iran together. Am I wrong?

The problem facing the genocidal Israeli regime and its US sponsor is the export controls on rare earth metals being maintained by China. China alone has the power to demilitarise both regimes if its continues with its bans on antimony, germanium and gallium exports never mind the more recent export controls on other rare earth metals. As the WSJ and other journals note Western arms companies are having major problems with many facing production cuts unless Trump can persuade or strongarm Beijing into relenting on this issue. Zero Hedge on 5/8//2025 noted:

"China’s recent curbs on the export of critical minerals are rippling through the U.S. defense supply chain, slowing production schedules and sending manufacturers on a global search for scarce materials needed in everything from munitions to fighter jets.

Some contractors warn that their reserves are running dangerously low. Bill Lynn, chief executive of Leonardo DRS, said Wednesday that his company’s supply of germanium has fallen to “safety stock” levels. The metal is used in infrared sensors for missiles and other systems. “In order to sustain timely product deliveries, material flow must improve in the second half” of 2025, he told investors. Leonardo DRS, a U.S. subsidiary of Italy’s Leonardo, is exploring alternative suppliers and possible substitutes.

For others, the bottleneck has already meant missed deadlines. One drone-parts maker supplying the U.S. military delayed orders by as much as two months while hunting for non-Chinese sources of magnets, which are produced from rare earth elements. Traders say prices for some materials have multiplied several times over; samarium, used in high-temperature magnets for jet engines, has been offered at 60 times its typical price.''

— No state has an inherent right to exist; states exist de facto. Their existence depends on international de-facto recognition of clearly defined, unchanging borders, which Israel possesses no more than Palestine.

Rather than a nation-state Isreal is a de-facto occupier of two existing nations and one aspiring nation.

— States acquire the right of self-defence only when they achieve existence.

— double lie of a God’s promised land to a chosen people who do not believe in God; of a West’s allocated land to a chosen people to create a fake proxi state. Each version hides the other depending on the context. They can never appear simultaneously—unless someone makes the effort to unravel the seeming paradox to deactivate them

— Let’s not loose sight from the fact that it was the Israeli Hannibal directive that killed most Israelis on October 7th as it continues to slowly kill the hostages —and their families in Israel. This cannot be stressed enough. It would be very useful if every debate on the urgency of the current conflict and how to end it started from this fact.

I wonder what the legal view is on an act of self-defence that is self-destructive: an interesting paradigm for jurisprudence

The more you try to "regime change" your enemy, the more entrenched they'll become in their current leadership. Israel actually did Iran a favor on this point. Let's hope the solidarity inspires Iran to take out the regime in Tel Aviv forever!
