#SwindonsSundaySermon: the world has gone mad if US students are the enemy

The pariah state of Israel is planning to launch a full-scale ground invasion of Rafah. This could well be its most disturbing and violent act of aggression since the beginning of the Gaza genocide.

Israel: monsters supported by monsters

Even little desperate-to-be-relevant Britain, forever devoted to the Zionist ideology, warned of the “potentially devastating consequences for the civilian population of an expanded Israeli military operation in Rafah”, should the genocidal maniac Netanyahu pursue this desperately dangerous course of action.

But what Britain must realise is the very real fact that it has not just supported Israel’s 210-day-long campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide, but also the 76 years of ethnic cleansing and genocide that preceded it.

A few platitudes and the most tremulous of criticisms from the Foreign Office simply isn’t going to wash away the blood of 14,000 Palestinian children from Britain’s moral conscience, as eroded as it may already be.

The British political elite — fronted by Zionists, for the benefit of Zionism —  and its unswerving and often sycophantic support for the United States of Israel, have comfortably secured their place in history.

The best the Conservative/Labour duopoly can hope for is being remembered as the monsters who looked away and allowed this unspeakable evil of Gaza to continue.

Rafah: on the brink

Around 1.7 million people are currently living in Rafah. Many are living under no more than a piece of canvas while Israeli bombs continue to pound the surrounding area with zero fucks given for international law.

People lack food, sanitation, water, adequate shelter, and healthcare and have had their suffering compounded by a heatwave, which has seen temperatures exceed an unbearable 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Just seven years ago, Rafah was home to 171,000 people. Now, an area around half of the size of Luton has seen its population increase ten-fold because of the genocide. This would be unsustainable in ‘normal’ times.

Who in their right mind would think sending in one of the best-equipped military forces in the world into the tent city of Rafah — Gaza’s last place of refuge — to obliterate anyone and anything that moves would be anything other than one of the gravest acts of evil that we have ever witnessed?

By any means necessary

Gaza’s fate beyond any Israeli assault on Rafah still remains unknown. The ultra-Zionist extremists claim they have thousands of colonial settlers ready to move into Gaza and build new settlements on top of the children’s graveyard created by Netanyahu and his TikTok terrorist military.

They must be stopped by any means necessary. Diplomatic or militarily, they must be stopped from completing the Israeli ethnic cleansing project.

The 75,000 tonnes of bombs that have devastated and destroyed Gaza over the last six months has caused a massive 37 million tonnes of debris and rubble. This will take at least 14 years to clear.

Gaza has more rubble on the ground than Ukraine and to put that in perspective, the Ukrainian front line is 600 miles long and Gaza is 25 miles long. Where is the outrage of the Zelensky fan club, or does this 21st century Nazism strike a chord with them?

While the costs to rebuild Gaza will be north of $20 billion, it’s still nowhere near the £37 billion the Tories gifted to Dido Harding and scamming Serco to run Britain’s hugely embarrassing and not-fit-for-purpose Covid-19 test and trace system for two years.

US students daring to give a voice to the voiceless

I spent a bit of time today catching up with the videos of fascist US police officers beating the living shit out of university students that had gathered at the Gaza solidarity encampments.

If only America put just as much effort into restraining the colonial outpost of Israel — the perfect child that it has fathered for the past 25 years — as it has done into pepper spraying and brutalising young American students for having the temerity to give a voice to the voiceless.

If the Zionist fart sucker, Donald Trump, describes the scenes of utter carnage and brutality as “beautiful”, you know the American authorities have gone way too far when shooting students with often-deadly rubber bullets is an easier option than holding Israel accountable for its grotesque genocide.

Is it not quite staggering how the American political elite and the Zionist-dominated global media are more outraged by these anti-genocide protests than they are by the actual genocide itself?

The IHRA definition has always been catastrophic

You can’t even get a state contract in 37 states of America unless you are willing to pledge allegiance to Israel. What kind of madness is this?

Israel is a racist endeavour, and no amount of crying over the IHRA definition of antisemitism will ever change that. Why would anyone pledge allegiance to a far-right, genocidal bunch of extremist god botherers?

The IHRA definition has always posed catastrophic risks for the human rights of the Palestinian people, and for the right to freedom of expression globally. Time and time again it has been instrumentalised to suppress entirely legitimate criticism of the extremist Israeli government’s policies by falsely labeling it antisemitic.

No amount of “but Corbyn”, or “you’re a Khamas-loving antisemite” will be able to even begin to cover up the mass murder and the colonial ethnic cleansing project. The grotesque weaponisation of the evil of antisemitism will no longer be tolerated. We will not be lectured by victim-card-waving virulent racists with a thing for killing babies.

Where has that solemn lesson gone?

The merciless brutality of the Israeli aggression has opened up millions of eyes around the world to the heartbreaking man-made suffering of the Palestinian people.

The horrors of the 20th century were supposed to serve as a solemn lesson to humanity of just how far unbridled evil can and will go when the world fails to confront it head on.

Thousands upon thousands of dead Palestinians cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them, and by god, we will, because the history of liberty is a history of resistance.
