I’m sharing this for one reason and one reason alone, it needs to be entered into the historical record. Even if you don’t listen to the clip, please read on. In an age where attention span in limited to the sound bite narratives, few will take the time to listen to this Independent Commission of Inquiry read by Chris Guinness, former chief spokesperson for The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. The Gaza conflict now officially has a name ‘THE PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE’. We can sit here all day and have a ping pong discussion with whataboutism, but that’s become a common tactic to distract from the uncomfortable truth. Myself and a small group of others have long called this a genocide, but even after the International Criminal Court indicted Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes, Western governments, along with many in the media have chosen to turn the other way as tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have been murdered at the hands of a government seeking unparalleled retribution for a terrorist war crime against their own citizens. Few would argue, that the October 7th 2923 attack was anything other than a barbaric act of terrorism against innocent Israelis, many of whom were sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. However, nothing, and I mean NOTHING will ever excuse the Israeli response supported by Western governments to embark upon a genocidal attempt to erase the Palestinians from Gaza. The intention from the very outset was to embark on a campaign that would see the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza and the opening gambit of a campaign to deliver the long held ambition of a greater Israel masquerading as an act of self defense. This has been a genocidal act of retribution that will remain a stain on the Israeli people that can never be erased. The Iran War and the Israeli incursion into Southern Lebanon is all part of a carefully crafted plan of action that Benjamin Netanyahu has long dreamed of, but never been able to convince an American president to support until a useful idiot called Trump came along. I know, as do those of us that were attempting to point out what was happening, it has been a long lonely road to get people to listen to the uncomfortable truth few were prepared to accept. While we’re not there yet, far more people are awake to the truth, even though there remains a sense of reluctance to admit they were wrong. Truth never shines brighter than when the impact shifts from a far away place to your doorstep, having an impact directly on those who chose to turn away until the result affects them at the grocery store or the petrol pump. Or when it’s their son or daughter is sent to fight an illegal war justified once again with lies and deceit. The pieces of a dead child of a Palestinian mother carried by an in shock father in a carrier bag to the hospital in search of a dream of making his little girl whole again, become a casket of an American mother grieving over the pieces of her dead son sent to war on yet another lie, by a president who simply saw him as acceptable collateral damage in his quest for self enrichment. A president who campaigned as a ‘no more wars’ president has now become drunk on the power and wealth that he believes endless conflicts can deliver as he takes America into an ‘end of days scenario’ where the only one left standing is China. We are witnessing a slow motion economic and geopolitical car crash in real time, as we prepare for what seems to be an inevitable boots on the ground engagement with an insurgent army numbering a million, with a level of arrogance prepared to risk the slaughter of American service personnel. Trump is a five times draft dodging president attempting to win an unwinnable war he claims to have already won, it is lunacy in action. If you can make that make sense to yourself, can I respectfully suggest you seek some psychiatric help? 🎥 TikTok -vm.tiktok.com/ZNRQPDoBQ/C

I got attacked by Max Blumenthal and Oz Katerji on the same day, from different directions, about the same thing. Feels good. I must be doing something right if all the obsessive, tribal, attention-seeking Twitter trolls are after me. 🤷🏽‍♂️😉
