Israeli Genocide in Gaza: Proof from the Peace Builders of TRANSCEND

 

What can we do?  We watch powerless as America funds Israeli genocide, and European leaders remain silent. And Arab leaders?  Is their silence not even more shameful, the deafening silence from Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, Omani, Iraqi, Egyptian leaders?  Their neglect of the Palestinians since 1947 has been criminal; their silence today is complicity with genocide.

I have written to the president of France and to the prime minister of the United Kingdom, demanding support for Palestinian Freedom and accusing them of complicity with genocide. I might as well be trying to irrigate crops by pissing in the desert. In Britain, Labour politicians have classified the movement “Palestinian Action” as a “terrorist organization,” arrested retired Church of England vicars, and locked up peacefully protesting elderly ladies in their eighties for demanding an end to genocide.  Britain’s Labour government would be laughable if the killing and destruction in Gaza was not such a terrible crime. 

South Africa first accused Israel of genocide before the International Court of Justice:

Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) ...

Trump – like Biden – has supported Israel and its genocide in Gaza.  Trump – like Biden – supplies the bombs and bullets for genocide.  Netanyahu’s aim is to make Gaza unlivable for Palestinians.  Trump and his family want to turn Gaza into a sea-side paradise for billionaires ….. and make money from Gaza real estate while the Palestinians starve, or emigrate (let them move to “shit-hole countries” in the US president’s elegant language, but no emigration to USA because Palestinians are not White enough, not as white as Afrikaners).

Israeli propagandists scream that we who criticize Israel are anti-Semitic. People like me, the members of J-Street and Senator Chuck Schumer. Who is really anti-Semitic here?  Palestinians and Israelis have the same basic DNA.  Netanyahu is committing anti-Semitic genocide just as Hitler did in the 1930s. YES, say it loud and clear: Netanyahu is behaving like Hitler.  All the evidence shows (as you can see below) that there is an Israeli genocide in Gaza. I am against it.

Below is a series of articles published this month by TRANSCEND, the network for peace journalism of which I am a proud member, launched by the Norwegian peace builder Professor Johan Galtung, the founder of Peace Studies. The weekly collection of articles published by TRANSCEND continues today thanks to the dedication of Dr Antonio C. S. Rosa, a faithful disciple of Galtung and a lover of peace.

There is no NATO propaganda here and Israeli spin doctors do not publish with TRANSCEND. Unlike some of the experts who spout their views on CNN, Fox News or the BBC, none of these writers takes money from arms manufacturers.

If you are looking for serious comment on international affairs from people (like me) who have spent their lives promoting peace, then it is worth checking out TRANSCEND.
