Israel’s Genocidal, Human Rights Violating and War Criminal Answer to the Palestinian Question, Part 7
Abstract: In Western mainstream media, Israel is regularly portrayed as a victim or at best as an about equally responsible party in the allegedly ‘complicated’ and ‘both-sidesy’ Israel-Palestine conflict. In this article series and following the May 2021 ‘clashes,’ I would like to show that and why Israel is instead very clearly the main responsible party and perpetrator in this conflict. The article series also serves the purposes of documenting Jewish-Israeli crimes against Palestinians and of deconstructing the usual pro-Israel propaganda.
Part 7 examines sane narratives about the Israel-Palestine conflict, how they compare to insane propaganda narratives by Israel and the Jewish-Israeli-Zionist lobby, how Hollywood and Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo apparently caved in to the Jewish-Israeli-Zionist lobby, the psychopathology of Zionists as highlighted by my Twitter conversations with two Zionists, and a conclusive 10-point characterization of insane and right-wing contemporary Zionism/-ists.
(Warning: The following article series contains material that might be disturbing for some viewers and that is usually not shown in mainstream media. I sometimes also use an ironic, satirical or cynical tone which is mainly directed against relativising, rationalizing, veiling, looking away from, playing stupid or remaining silent about Jewish-Israeli-Zionist crimes against Palestinians)

A sane narrative about Israel-Palestine
Most of us, including myself, are born into and raised in or with insane ideology and propaganda narratives, and it takes considerable and sustained effort to find your way out of that and to ascend to a sane perspective on things. The following thread by the PhD candidate Lena Obermaier at the University of Exeter’s European Center for Palestine Studies gives an excellent example of how such a change from an insane and propagandized to a sane and clear perspective on the Israel-Palestine conflict looks like and how it can be accomplished (for instance by examining the evidence in a non-biased manner):
What I also find remarkable here is the very unexpected version of a “too dangerous” area: The Arab districts were not dangerous because of the Arabs or ‘Hamas terrorists,’ but because Israeli officials would sanction you if you went there and saw for yourself under what conditions Israel forces Palestinians to live! To continue the descent into Jewish-Israeli-Zionist madness and the ascent from propaganda:
So as already urged by myself in part 2, the Israel-Palestine conflict must fundamentally be regarded as a Jewish-Israeli-Zionist settler-colonialist fuelled land conflict if you ever want to make sense of it. And as was thankfully pointed out by Lena Obermaier in another thread, it was already the earlier British colonial masters who “deliberately” did not give the native Palestinian Arabs self-determination — a policy that the more recent Israeli colonial masters and occupiers continued for similar selfish reasons:
A key line in insane Jewish-Israeli-Zionist propaganda is that Palestine supposedly was and is “a land without people for a people without land.” But that is of course utter nonsense, also in light of the facts that a) at least 700.000 native Palestinians were driven from their homelands in the 1948 Nakba by the Jewish-Israeli-Zionist colonizers and that b) “more than 5.6 million Palestinians were registered with UNRWA as refugees” in 2019:
Two other utterly nonsensical and related lines of insane Zionist propaganda are the false equation of Zionism with Jewish and the thereupon based false claim that anti-Zionism equals anti-Semitism — two absurd and often intentional category errors. These propagandistic claims are evidently false since there are many (especially Diaspora) Jews and even religious-orthodox Jews who are moderate and sometimes even radical anti-Zionists:
As such and since Jewish anti-Zionists clearly exist, it is absurd to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism and even more absurd propagandistic nonsense to claim that Jewish anti-Zionists are just ‘self-hating’ or ‘not the right type of’ Jews. They are, quite on the contrary, sane Jews and human beings with a working conscience.
Israel’s and the Jewish-Israeli-Zionist Lobby’s propaganda
After having identified the main and general strands of Israeli-Zionist propaganda (also see part 4 about the ‘Hamas is everywhere and everyone’-line that is used against Palestinians), let us examine some more recent specific examples of that propaganda which tries to deflect and distract from Israeli genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression against Palestinians.
Most predictably, moderate anti-Zionism as a critique of the insane policies of the Israeli state is portrayed as if it were anti-Semiticism and yet another artificial anti-Semiticism crisis which relies on very thin to non-existent evidence is being fabricated by those who live in the past and in a cult of permanent victimhood:
From the beginning of the article:
So to just put things into perspective and to highlight the stunning Zionist cynicism, hypocrisy and moral insanity: On the one hand, actual pogroms and lynchings were committed by Jewish-Israeli-Zionist extremists against Palestinians with the blessing and sometimes even active participations of the Israeli occupation forces (see part 3) and entire Palestinian families were wiped out by the Israeli occupation forces (see part 4) which slaughtered 60+ Palestinian children in in May. On the other hand and completely disproportionately, the Zionist ‘American Defamation League’ pretends that a bunch of “street scuffles” in which no one was even seriously injured amount to “anti-Jewish pogroms.”
The following footage and explanation provide evidence for the claim that no one was even “targetted as Jews”:
Independent report Max Blumenthal, himself Jewish, explains:
And even if the following reports were 100% true which is rather doubtful…
a single hate attack against someone who is supporting ‘Zionazi’-Israel in no way constitutes pogroms and in no way comes close to the actual Jewish-Israeli-Zionist and state-assisted May 2021 pogroms against Palestinians. Instead, the above should rather be seen as acts of moral outrage that were caused by insane ignorants who effectively defended Israels indefensible genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression against Palestinians. Their whinings can as usual be dismissed as a variation and continuation of the Jewish-Zionist cult of permanent victimhood that should not be taken seriously or indulged in.
If you don’t want to take it from me, take it from the Jewish anti-Zionist Professor Norman Finkelstein whose family was almost completely exterminated by the Nazis during WW2:
A must-watch in this respect is Finkelstein’s legendary “crocodile tears” speech or reply to some propagandized people in the audience:
“Both of my parents were in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and it is precisely and exactly because of the lessons of my parents taught me and my two siblings that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians. And I consider nothing more despicable than to use their suffering and their martyrdom to try to justify the torture, the brutalisation, the demolition of homes that Israel daily commits against the Palestinians. So I refuse any longer to be intimidated or browbeating [sic!] by the tears. If you had any heart in you, you would be crying for the Palestinians.”
Former Israeli minister and left-wing politician Shulamit Aloni thankfully also explained in 2002 in an interview with Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman that “anti-semitism” is a “trick” that Israel and Zionists constantly use for propagandistic purposes:
“It’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody’s criticizing Israel, then we bring out the Holocaust. When in this country [i.e. the USA] people are criticizing Israel, then they’re anti-Semitic. And the organisation is strong and has a lot of money, and the ties between Israel and American Jewish establishment are very strong. […] As you know, they have power, which is okay. They’re talented people, and they have power, money and media and other things. And their attitude is Israel my country, right or wrong — the identification. And they are not ready to hear criticism. And it’s very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti-Semitics, and use to bring up the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people. And that is to justify everything we do to the Palestinians.”
So whenever a Zionist cries crocodile tears in your direction, don’t buy it and regard it as the propaganda and insanity that it is. For an understanding of how Israel and Zionists have hijacked British and probably even more so US politics, see for instance the very revealing Al Jazeera documentaries The Lobby (2017) or The Lobby — USA (2018) or also the following article:
Sanders and Ruffalo ‘tone down the rhetoric’
The Israeli-Zionist lobby and its outlets or fronts such as Stephen Pollard’s Jewish Chronicle which was repeatedly forced to pay damages due to its constant slandering, smearing and libelous claims should thus be easy to identify as the insane propaganda outlets that they are:
Unfortunately, not everyone is paying attention and some are also beholden to Israeli interests. This for instance explains why Marc Lamont Hill, a political commentator, was unjustly fired from the Israel- and Zionist-subservient libtard mainstream medium CNN in 2018:
Similar events could be observed in May 2021: It began with Bernie ‘Sheepdog’ Sanders telling the public to tone down the rhetoric on Israel’s crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes of aggression and human rights violations:
Perhaps more noticeably, Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo who tends to be on the right side of history caved in to Israeli-Zionist pressure by inappropriately apologizing for supposedly “inflammatory” but actually accurate and fitting remarks about Israel. This prompted the following critical comments:
As pointed out by this tweeter, the most likely explanation for Ruffalo’s pullback is that Israeli-US dual-citizenship billionaire and Israel-supporter Haim Saban, who owns Marvel Entertainment which produces the big superhero movies in which Ruffalo starred, as well as other elements of the Israel-Zionist lobby exerted pressure on Ruffalo behind the scenes:
On his show, political commentator Jimmy Dore gave another fitting analysis and rebuttal of Ruffalo’s cave in: “Now is the time for you to avoid complicity”
“Mark, your apology needs an apology”
“Mark Ruffalo seemed to be able to say and do the right thing until it was gonna cost him something. And that’s, I guess, the true mark of character. And so when it came down to it, Mark Ruffalo decided to throw people […] under the buss.”
Mohammed El-Kurd enlightened the cowardly Ruffalo on the definition of “genocide”:
A Jewish enlightener joined in:
And the independent journalist Caitlin Johnstone even wrote an interesting article about how Mark Ruffalo’s behavior sabotaged the pro-Palestine movement:
Insane Zionists being in denial and freaking out
As pointed out by the Palestinian journalist Omar Ghraib, Zionists and those manipulated by respective propaganda displayed adverse psychological reactions (cognitive dissonance, being in denial, etc.) when confronted with the New York Times’ generally truthful reporting about Israel’s genocidal mass-murder of 60+ Palestinian children in May 2021:
The perhaps most prominent and widely-reported case of (faked) Zionist freakouts on Twitter over this true story is that of Abraham Foxman, the National Director of the ‘American Defamation League’ (ADL) from 1987–2015, who — as per his usual Zionist routine and propaganda — defamed, slandered and smeared the NYT article as allegedly constituting “blood libel” (also take note how Rabbi Jill Jacobs uses the “both sides” propaganda line in her reply):
Well-deserved pushback against this Zionist drivel and “scam” was severe:
Then there is the following anonymous individual who allegedly donated $1 to the Friends of the IDF per Palestinian child that they murdered — the most insane matched donation that I have ever encountered so far. Also take note of the “both sides” strand of propaganda that I already analysed and rejected in part 1:
A Zionist ‘intellectual’ also tried to come to the rescue, rationalizing to himself that Israel killed only 63 out of the mentioned 66 children and that this somehow makes a huge difference:
A reaction by a Palestinian journalist who disagrees with that Zionists smearing of Palestinian kids as “terrorists” (also take note that, in other circumstances, the handle of “freedom/resistance fighter” would be used):
My personal run-in with crazy Zionist Barry
I also had an interesting and insightful conversation with yet another insane Zionist on Twitter that developed after he downplayed the painful spinal injuries that Palestinian teenage girl and Sheikh Jarrah resident Jana Al-Kiswani incurred as a result of an Israeli occupation forces soldier unnecessarily shooting her in the back with a heavy rubber-coated steel bullet (see part 3):
Let’s take the time to analyse how insane and in denial Zionists like Barry Halls are: 1) In his propaganda-saturated delusions, what is known as “less-lethal” rubber-coated steel bullets magically become harmless-sounding “rubber bullets” or even “not actual bullets”(!) — never mind the severe damage that just one such bullet inflicted on Jana or other Palestinians. 2) Appeals to empathy for an innocent and not even adult human being are completely ignored — as were her clearly audible painful screams. 3) Zionist Barry also flat out lies about Jana’s spine not being broken or about that somehow constituting “mislabelling” since it was consistently reported that her back or spine was “fractured,” i.e. broken. 4) It’s furthermore quite insane to pretend that Jana will just walk it off after a few weeks of ‘rest’ — she was after all hospitalized and in severe pain and you generally do not simply walk off injuries to the spine and possibly nerves.
5) When confronted with his patent and sickening propaganda, Zionist Barry went into the for insane Zionists typical full-on slander and smear mode which even included casually throwing around some Hitler comparisons (I am Austrian and (pro-oppressed, pro-human rights and hence) pro-Palestinian, so ‘obviously’ I ‘must’ be a contemporary Hitler).
I replied calmly by pointing out to Zionist Barry the historical fact that the last major Austrian figure who got involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict was our former Chancellor Bruno Kreisky who was Jewish and who understood the plight of the Palestinians:
6) Crazy Zionist Barry then did a little bit of mental time travelling and 7) throwing around of collective guilt by accusing me of being the “reason millions of people [presumably Jews] became Zionists.” Rejecting his absurd accusation of generation-stretching collective guilt, I once again calmly informed him that he might want to revisit his insane methods, that I was born in the 1970s and hence definitely not the reason for why some Jews became Zionists. I furthermore took the liberty of pointing out the historical fact that Zionism already “was a thing” decades before Hitler and Austrian Nazis in the 1930s and 40s:
Living in the past is something that does not only apply to “ewiggestrige” (literally: ‘forever yesterdays’) neonazis, but something that I also noticed in both Zionist Jews and unenlightened Westerners and perhaps especially in Austrians and Germans. It also amounts to something like a psychological co-pathology. By that I am referring to the complementary facts that a) Zionist Jews are under the collective delusion that they are always and still the victims and that b) pro-Israel Austrians and Germans (and Westerners) are under the collective delusion that they are always and still the perpetrators or that they would be perpetrators if they criticized apartheid and genocide-committing Israel for what it is. It is also these two other types of living in the past that we need to get rid of since they also cloud the mind in a very harmful manner.
Here is a very important article by a German of Palestinian descent about what it is like to be surrounded by deluded and propagandized German “Ewiggestrige” who constantly subject her and others like her to epistemic violence:
From the beginning of the article:
8) To further cement his insanity, crazy Zionist Barry then ‘countered’ my suggestion to not live in the past and to instead face the ugly reality of Jews having done a 180-degree-turn from victims to perpetrators in Zionist Israel by indulging in even more instances of living in the past where Jews were still victims. 9) Also note that there is nothing that spells out ‘victim’ in big bold letters like threatening me with violence if I do agree to this Zionist’s delusions of permanent victimhood (also feel free to draw parallels to Jewish-Israeli-Zionists’ demented ‘give us poor, poor victims your land or else’-attitude towards Palestinians). 10) Another sign of Zionist Barry’s insanity consisted in trying to browbeat his opponents into submitting to his nonsense and then rageblocking them when that does not succeed before withdrawing into his cult of victimhood-delusions in which Jews are magically and contrary to the evidence always the victims:
For additional reference and contrary to Jewish-Israeli-Zionists who now live on stolen Palestinian property — and note that Zionist Barry’s accusation could easily have been an attempted deflection from that actually relevant point at hand — , me or my parents or grandparents also never lived on stolen Jewish property (I grew up in a block of flats built after WW2 until I was 8 years old before moving to a suburb of Vienna and into a new house that my father had designed. I then lived in the old house of my greatgrandparents which they had built in 1930 and renovated after a bomb hit before moving into a block of flats built in the 2010s). And even if my family had done that, it would not justify Jewish-Israeli-Zionists stealing Palestinian property and committing the worst types of crimes against them (see the tu quoque fallacy).
After that encounter with crazy Zionist Barry, I returned to a sane discussion with someone who was active in the thread before and who had witnessed our exchange. Generally speaking and in cases such as that of Zionist Barry, it is clear that the person is insane. But it is not clear whether that insanity is more of a traditional or epistemological insanity where the person does not know any better due to delusions, ideology or propaganda or whether it is more of a moral insanity where the person does know better and knowingly spreads falsehoods and lies. Zionist Barry struck me as sincere which is why I went for a mix of epistemological and moral insanity. My sane conversation partner who had past encounters with Zionist Barry rather thought it was mainly moral insanity:
A briefer conversation with Zionist Lord Timevirus
I later had a briefer and sanish conversation with a more moderate Zionist. We had been following each other on Twitter due to similar left-leaning views, and I regarded him as the most tolerable Zionist that I was aware of. But I became increasingly disgusted with his Zionist views — e.g. unwarranted negative views about Corbyn which are rejected my many Jews who have not fallen for Zionist propaganda — , and things came to a head before I unfollowed in disgust. It starts with his false equation of Zionist with Jewish, a category error which I reject and make him aware of by pointing out that there are both Jewish Antizionists as well as non-Jewish Zionists:
He replies by doubling down on even more false equations of Zionist with Jewish. I try it from a different angle, by pointing out how this false equation comes from a right-wing corner and amounts to official Israeli propaganda — things that he might wish to distance himself from if he is indeed leftist or progressive:
He replies by telling me to “get lost,” thereby confirming that Zionists are indeed insane without exception, which is the note on which I ended this conversation.
Conclusion: Contemporary Zionism is a collective delusion and psychopathology and deeply embedded in the extreme right-wing movement
Close to the end of this article series, after long reports about and analyses of contemporary and mainly Jewish-Israeli-Zionism, and after my own virtual encounter with a Zionist who behaves like a very typical Zionist, it feels fitting to conclude this second last article with my own 10-point take on what contemporary Zionism is.
If I were given just one adjective to characterize contemporary Zionism and also as the very first and foremost adjective on the list, I do not hesitate in the slightest to characterize contemporary Zionism as 1) insane or as an insanity. This Zionist insanity and furthermore collective delusion and psychopathology might have various causes such as collective historical trauma, religious lunacy, political indoctrination and propaganda or other factors. But whatever those factors might be for each affected indiviual, they do not change anything about the result of insanity in this regard. As also shown throughout the earlier parts and articles, the evidence about contemporary Zionism being (very positively correlated with) insanity just keeps mounting up:
And this categoriation of Zionism under insanity is not just polemicism, hyperpole or inflammatory speech, because I am furthermore completely honest and truthful when I say that I have not yet encountered or heard of *a single* contemporary ‘sane Zionist’, just as I have not yet encountered or heard of a single ‘left-wing or progressive (i.e. an anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist, anti-racist, human rights minding, peaceful, etc.) Zionist’ — those two things are simply contradictions in themselves. The ‘black swan’ of a ‘sane Zionist’ may admittedly yet appear, but I am not holding my breath for it.
Malcolm Ohanwe is also at a loss here since he cannot think of a single Zionist Twitter account that is at the same time anti-racist and anti-colonialist — two further contradictions in themselves:
In further characterizing this contemporary Zionist insanity, I would submit the following points: 2) cult-like mentality, especially in the sense of 3) cult of permanent victimhood; 4) amoral/indifferent to the plight of others (‘mimimi’); 5) physically or epistemically violent; 6) colonizing (physically and mentally, the latter through Zionist propaganda); 7) racist or supremacist; 8) international law & human rights violating as well as genocide-, crimes against humanity-, war crimes and crimes of aggression-committing or affirming; 9) land and property theft-endorsing.
As the last but not least point and one that cannot possibly be omitted since it probably is the second-most important characterization that largely encompasses all the above points, I submit 10) extreme/far/hard right-wing (also as in epistemologically and morally insane, paranoid, international law-breaking, post-truth/alternative facts, power- and symbols of power-worshipping, might makes right-attitude, etc.).
The truth of the last point is easy to confirm, also by looking back on earlier parts of this article series: All the leading political figures and contemporary past, present or future political leaders of Zionist Israel such as Benyamin Natanyahu, Benny Gantz, Naftali Bennett (part 4) or the also analyzed Ayelet Shaked (part 5) are extreme right-wing nutjobs and psychopaths.
A flag-humping/-waving and “Death to Arabs”-shouting mob is also internationally understood as a right-wing thing:
And it turns out that there are plenty of indoctrinated little Zionazis who are already chanting that hate-filled crap:
In case you object to the term of “zionazi”, I have another surprise for you:
Data shows that almost two thirds of younger Israeli adults are right-wing extremists:
The Jewish-Zionist settlers, including the Jewish supremacists imported from abroad, are are likewise right-wingers with a sometimes ‘somewhat questionable’ past:
As Justin ‘Yaakov’ Fauci himself put it after being asked “How did you end up here?”: “It’s a long story… Basically I needed to move from where I was”
All of Zionist Israel’s political supporters abroad such as Austria’s Sebastian Kurz, Germany’s Angela Merkel, Tommy Robinson, Jair Bolsonaro (part 2) or other new right figures such as fast-talking and dim-witted US talk show host Ben Shapiro are on the right (hint: Conservatives are *always* on the right of the political spectrum).
Even in nominally centrist to left-wing UK Labour, it is once again right-wing figures such as Margaret ‘covers up sexual child abuse’ Hodge or Keir “I support Zionism without qualification” Starmer who are staunch supporters of Zionism and purveyors of batshit crazy Zionist propaganda. The same applies to Zionists from the US Democrats or in the USA in general. The same applies to ‘news’ outlets such as the Jewish Chronicle and their ‘reporters’ such as Stephen Pollard or Lee Harpin (see above)— all of those epistemologically and/or morally insane contemporary Zionists are without exception right-wing, 1% serving, genocide(etc.)-cheering human trash that needs to be de-propagandized and educated or, failing that, ignored and isolated.
From that insight, we also gain yet another interesting argument against anything and everything contemporary Zionist that is designed especially for ‘it’s complicated’ and ‘both-sidesy’ centrists/liberals/moderates:
Premise 1: If you are indeed opposed to anything (extreme) right-wing — something which many people, including centrists/liberals/moderates claim to be — , and
Premise 2: Given that contemporary Zionism is yet another insane right-wing project,
Conclusion: Then you also have to be opposed to anything and everything contemporary Zionist (otherwise self-contradiction and inconsistency beckon).
