Leading the Charge!
As many a decent human being will now be aware, there is a Genocide currently being enacted upon the Palestinian people by the IDF and the Israeli Government. As by many of us who marched, it is should be recognised that pertinent Narrative is both preciously revered as it is guarded. Yet, in hope, truth is spilling through the cracks, and the cracks are widening, beginning to gape!
More sparingly known or understood is the extent to which groundwork undertaken has enabled, perhaps even facilitated, the Genocide. MSM Narrative would have us believe that the Genocide, which it has yet to name, was instigated by an act of 7th October, that the un-named Genocide should instead be regarded as 'Israel's right to defend itself.' Also that the ongoing Genocide is 'proportionate.' Which is why the likes of the BBC get away with demoting 'Genocide' to merely a 'conflict,' or, if they are hard pressed, maybe a 'war.' The labels would be laughable if the scale of Israel's Collective Punishment was not so obviously Genocidal!
The Scale of the Genocide is important to the narrative, important precisely because of the part the UK is playing in enabling and enhancing that scale. Hardly is it surprising that calls for a Ceasefire go unanswered by a government when it is now known, at the behest of the same government, that the RAF has been regularly winging military flights- well over 30 since 7th October- back and forth between Bases on Cyprus and Israel, hauling capabilities for both military personnel and munitions. Declassified UK continues to show the bulk of MSM precisely how proper journalism should be undertaken. The contention is, then, that the UK is increasingly complicit in the Genocide. Complicit now beyond simply enabling the Genocide, with blood dripping from its hands!
Since the May 2015 Election the UK has licensed over £400 millions in arms to the Apartheid Israeli State, such that it might murder Palestinian civilians with a Royal seal of approval! Yet the same UK will not press Israel to cease the slaughter of those whose lands Israel continues to occupy, in contravention of international law. One of the globe's mightiest armies, raining down Terror upon, not against, a population of permanent refugees. And, we know with a certainty that the UK will be numbering highest amongst the nations shoring up its borders, lest any of those lost souls should wash up here. Not only will Operation Legacy need to be re-opened, it is going to need a fair few extra chapters.
On Thursday morning (28th November) Norwich City Council was firmly in the hands of the New Labour Party. By Eight o'clock that same evening four of its councillors had defected to independent status, leaving the council with no-overall-control. Those of us gathered at the council meeting cheered to watch them cross the floor. And yet, the manner with which the proceedings gathered steam and still shut down questions and sought to deny accountability was shameful to behold! Several of the uniforms that watched on as we chanted, "Ceasefire Now!" over and over, we're very much more of the XL Bully-breed than they were of the stewardship calling. By the time that the event became news for the BBC the defection of four Labour councillors had undergone checks and balances, recalibrated to another and unrelated story. "Democracy is one of the key principles of the UK’s constitution. It ensures that everyone’s voice counts when the government makes a decision." the BBC speaks on behalf of government, not 'speaking truth to power,' so much as, 'suppressing truth on behalf of the powerful.' "Remember what you've witnessed here!" one of Norwich's residents summarised on the night. Of note, nobody from the BBC was present on the night.
"Remember what you've witnessed here!" The words rang all too true, not that anyone needed reminding just how the cogs of democracy turn in the UK. Or they don't, all dependent upon who's asking.
Stuart Seldowitz is one of the globe's truly hateful characters! He has worked under both Democratic (surely an ironic appellation) and Republican regimes in the US of A, the 'Defender' of the Free World. He was formerly employed in the 'happy' capacity of Deputy Director of Israel and Palestinian Affairs. Seldowitz- 'lovely' smile- 'served' as the acting director for the National Security Council South Asia Directorate in former President Barack Obama's administration. Puffing with the arrogance that so many internationally powerful men seem to possess, Stuart Seldowitz was very recently filmed in his natural habitat, that of hostility towards anyone with a counter opinion, on this occasion threatening a New York street vendor.
After his arrest Seldowitz, perhaps with huge glistening tears running down his alabaster cheeks, spoke of his upset at the hateful manner in which the street vendor had not immediately fallen to his knees and asked to shine the man's shoes. He was upset, he 'claimed.' And who amongst us hasn't threatened to have someone's grandfather's fingernails removed in a moment of peak? Who can honestly say, hand on heart, that he or she hasn't wished more than 4,000 innocent children to be buried under mile-upon-mile of shattered masonry and US-supplied heavy arms? Think what we will of the man, Stuart Seldowitz knows a terrorist when he sees one, perhaps in the act of shaving that alabaster face, always assuming that the work isn't contracted out to another lesser being.
It seems unlikely that Seldowitz was amongst the millions calling for Ceasefire. Of note: the Ceasefire's stated dependency upon the exchange of hostages is being reported as asymmetrical, at a rate of 2 or 3 Palestinians for every 1 Israeli. Even the release is orchestrated, a careful tapestry of misdirection! Hamas holds 'hostages,' we are told- indeed they do! Israel holds 'prisoners' indeed they do not! Amongst the Israeli hostages there are teenagers as young as 13, many held without charge detained for months. Beatings are commonplace in Israeli detention cells. Trials are military ones, conducted without jury, the conviction rate is as close to 100% as is feasibly possible whilst retaining double digits. When I last noted the figures Israel had released 117 hostages. Over the same period Israel has detained a further 116 new hostages from the West Bank, where the IDF has managed to kill another hundred-plus Palestinians, whilst bull-dozing homes, ripping up olive trees and Terrorising farming communities off their land and from their villages. Keep those UK arm flowing, please do!
As does the UK, the US 'Democratic' Government appears prepared to endorse the Charge, when Israel recommences its Genocide upon Gaza. Me thinks Seldowitz will likely walk free with, perhaps, a slap on the wrist. Would that any of the 6,000 Murdered Children in Gaza could have gotten off a fraction as lightly. Let's not kid ourselves, the US and UK will fight tooth and nail to protect interests in the Middle East and those interests are named Israel!
Charge!
