“Israel exception.”

A former Justice Department attorney, “Nearly 80% of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficked underage girls came from the Balkans.” Epstein’s still-censored travel log shows over a dozen flights to the region in the mid to late 90s. This is the time period when Epstein and his Israeli partners began cultivating pedophilia and sex-trafficking-based relationships with key UN insiders. Over the following years, members of Epstein’s network took positions within the highest echelons of the United Nations.”

What do we get of the Jewish State?

Epstein files

Genocides

Constant global conflicts (Ukraine included)

Financial turmoil

Energy crisis

Constant interference in global affairs and nations’ politics by means of Lobbying, Think Tanks, media control and various methods of blackmail.

If at one point Israel was regarded as an instant of ‘Western stability’ in the ‘volatile’ Middle East, by now this violent Ghetto on the Mediterranean seashore is by far the greatest danger to human survival on this planet.

The big challenge, accordingly, is to dismantle this wound in an harmonious and peaceful manner. This I believe, is the Iranian/dissident’s doctrine. It is moderate, skillful, and careful. It is there to deliver a message to the Israelis: ‘your time in our region has come to an end’!

It is the success of the Iranian deterrence doctrine that made it a necessity for the Jewish State and its lapdog the USA to destroy Iran.

Yet, for humanity to prevail or even just survive. Iran victory is a must!

These are the Israeli ‘demands’ from Iran as they were delivered to Witkoff a few minutes ago:

1: Iran must pass its enriched uranium to a third party state.

2. No further enrichment

3. The Ballistic missile production must come to an end

4. Iran’s support of regional proxies must also come to an end.

From the demands we learn that Israel acknowledges that it didn’t fulfil a single military objective during the 12 days war. If anything it learned to admit to itself that it is actually the Iranian ballistics , rather than nukes, that can turn Tel Aviv into dust .. the truth of the matter is that neither the USA nor the Jewish State posses the means to encounter Iran’s military technology. Israel knows it, the USA military knows it, Iranians know it and even I know it…

In 1993 journalist and writer Michael Collins Piper published his contentious book Final Judgement.

Pooling a large amount of circumstantial evidence, Collins Piper’s premise was that the hidden author of the assassination was, in fact, the security services of the state of Israel. The bastard cousin of all JFK assassination conspiracy books, Final Judgement was notable both for the silence it generated (to this day, almost all serious JFK researchers fail to acknowledge it even exists) and the reported fact that it sold around 100,000 copies through mail order, ‘under the counter’ and other alternate means.

Yahu vs. Xstein

Yesterday’s feud between Israeli PM and Biden top adviser exposes the level of Israel’s control over America and the level of American complicity in the worst documented genocide in human history.

In a press conference yesterday Netanyahu accused Biden of IDF fatalities during the Israeli human sacrifice orgy in Gaza. He said IDF ‘didn’t have enough ammunition,’ due to ’embargo’.

However, Amos Hochstein, one of Biden’s Witkoffs in duty insisted that Netanyahu was lying.

“Netanyahu is both not telling the truth and ungrateful to a president that literally saved Israel at its most vulnerable moment.” In further remarks on X, Hochstein wrote that “After more than $20 Billion military support, largest in Israel[i] history, two aircraft carriers rushed to the region, deterring a massive regional war, defeating Iran missile and drone attack twice, defending Israel at most vulnerable moments, after SAVING countless lives of Israelis – only acceptable response to US president Biden and American people is THANK YOU.”

This is pretty much everything you need to know. America is Israel’s most subservient colony. When its youngsters don’t die for Israel its tax payers’ money funds the Israeli genocidal crimes. If Netanyahu is expected to thanks “Biden and the American People” as Hochstein suggests, it only means that in Hochstein’s mind the American people are partners in the Israeli crime against humanity. I am sure that many Americans are upset by the idea and it is down to them to emancipate themselves of their Middle Eastern Mother State.

The Jewish state is beyond a doubt a disaster but the USA being the No 1 most subservient Israeli colony facilitates this disaster.

PS here is the Early Life Wikipedia section about Biden’s Top Adviser Amos Hochstein: Hochstein was born in Jerusalem, the child of American Jewish immigrants to Israel. He studied at Yeshivat Netiv Meir High School and the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. He was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces and served in Armored Corps. Following his service, he left Israel and moved to New York City to work at Bankers Trust. While Hochstein’s immediate family continue to live in Israel, he does not maintain dual citizenship, having renounced his Israeli citizenship.

    A Muslim Arab complained, and when asked why, he replied, “Because it’s scandalous.”

    A white Christian complained, and when asked why, he replied, “Because I mustn’t be considered inferior to the Jew.”

    A white Jew also complained, and when asked why, he replied, “Because if the Arab rises up, we all fall.”

This is a fascinating, thoughtful Lorenzo Galbiati ‘s interview with Hanna Hoffman. Rarely in your life you will come across a genuine Jewish dissenting voice brave enough to look at the J word and its meaning, let alone admitting the depth of theological morbidity that made the Jewish state into what it is. In fact the entire mission of the Jewish solidarity movement is to divert attention from the J word. Hoffman is different. She isn’t shy of the question.

Hoffman defines herself as Trans Zionist, her rational is fascinating . And I wonder is she a trans Zionist or maybe a trans Jew. I wonder , in the light of Hoffman’s elaboration, whether I myself am an ex Jew, a trans Jew, a proud self hater or a lamb of Christ. I wonder because I have never managed to emancipate myself of the battle with the tribe: its ideology, culture and politics. In that sense, I of course failed as a Christian.

INTERVIEW with Hanna Hoffman (Second Part – the First Part was published on January 14th)

1. Do [Did] you consider yourself an anti-Zionist Jew? And if so, what do you mean by anti-Zionism?

– I consider myself a “Trans-Zionist”, a term I coined. In other words, I was raised a zionist by definition, since I grew up in Israel and for the early 3 or so decades of my conscious life I accepted the absolute righteousness of israel’s existence – despite its somewhat checkered history. Said acceptance incalcated as part of my identity, almost as a god given right, never mind I did not believe in said god.

For me, as an Israeli and for quite a while after I left, this was something not even worth questioning. Mind you, as Israelis we did not refer to ourselves as zionists but as Israelis, which to us meant that this country, with whatever borders it had, even if drawn by outright conquest, was OUR country by divine right, much as France belonged to the French. None of the Israelis I knew and still know to this day, even accepts that israel as founded was an obvious colonialist-settler enterprise.

I was personally surprised by the debates about “zionism” raging in the US when I first arrived and used to vehemently defend israel against all critiques, since as I said, that was an embedded part of my very identity. It took more than a decade and considerable exposure to other thoughts and numerous literary works and historical works that were new to me, before I woke up one day and seemingly out of the blue no longer felt that “zionism thing” to be an inseparable part of my identity. I could for example see the both the first and second Intifada as natural forms of resistance by an occupied, much oppressed people, rather than something absolutely criminal as most Israelis viewed those and still do to this day.

I should add that among israelis and ex-Israelis this state of “transcending” zionism as I refer to it, is considered the worst kind of betrayal since it implies a radical departure from the tribal gestalt. In certain ways to be “trans” is worse than being “anti” as it implies losing the “love” of Israel and indeed the “love” of Jews and Jewishness in general. In a deep sense such an attitude represents an irrevocable parting of the ways from the tribal identity with its built-in belonging to a chosen and superior people at its core, an outright declaration of “not being there” any longer. To put it more simply as one ex-Israeli who long ago left that country and is genrally liberal on most issues said “Israel is in her blood” which is why she felt obliged to sever our 50 year friendship. Basically, once they believe you are truly a “trans-zionist” it is viewed as a step every bit as radical as eg not just identifying with the opposite gender – but excising one’s own biological gender altogether, meaning a deliberate altering of something that is profoundly fundamental to one’s nature.

By contrast, an “anti zionist” may be harshly critical of Israel’s actions and indeed go as far as to deny that Jewish people have exclusive right to that land, but still they retain a love of the IDEA of Jewishness as a state of being and/or maintain belief in Judaism as a supreme value that can justify separateness from classes of non-Jews (like Arabs? Or muslims in general?). An anti-zionist for example may advocate a “2 state” or even a “1 state solution” yet deep at heart they still believe that those Palestinians, and indeed most Arabs, will rise to kill the Jews of israel, if given half a a chance.

In other words, some so-called anti-zionists are just zionist-light, ie, they’d rather Israel behaved much better and was a lot less crudely and visibly violent than it is not so much because they really stand in solidarity with the Palestinians quest for justice and freedom, but because “it’d be good for the Jews”. Other self-described anti-zionists may go much further and proclaim that Israel absolutely does not represent Jews or Jewish values and has no right to call itself THE Jewish State (even as it may remain A STATE for Jews). And still others, who perhaps thought much more deeply about the underlying national, ethnical and religious issues advocate severing any overt connection between Jews at large and Israel. This last class of anti-zionists is probably closer to my concept of trans-zionist as they are willingly “othering” themselves from both Israel and Jewishness as a tribal state.

2. What do you think of Zionism? How do you explain the fact that it historically became established to the point of becoming hegemonic in the Jewish world?

– Answering this querstion would take far longer than the time I have available but I can refer to some of the excellent books I mostly agree with (and have benefitted from in forming my own views).

Books such as “The General’sSson” by Miko Peled which closely reflects my own views, “Being in Time” by Gilad Atzmon (who is even more trans zionist than I am), “The Invention of the Land of Israel” by Shlomo Sand, “The Tragedy of Zionism” by Bernard Avishai, “The Israelis” by Amos Elon, and “Beyond Tribal Loyalties” a collection of essays edited by Avigail Abarbanel who also has a personal essay in the book explaining why she left both Israel as well as Zionism and Jewish tribalism behind (themes that rather resonate with me). Note that all these books are by Israelis and/or Ex-Israelis, the part of the larger community I am most familiar with.

3. Israel is the Jewish state, recognized as such by most Jews around the world. Amos Goldberg has stated that the genocide in Gaza will remain an indelible stain in the history of the Jewish people. What do you think of this statement?

– I would agree with that statement up to a point as I have issues with the concept of collective guilt. In particular, the Jewish establishment, as we refer to it, the one that felt and continues to feel obliged to defend Israel no matter what, does bear quite a bit of responsibility for what happened in Gaza as well as for the dreary blockade and siege of Gaza over the 2 decades that led up to the Oct 7 events. The Gaza genode may well serve as a punctuation mark on the many decades of criminal oppression, persecution and expulsion of Palestinians from their native land, a history that, taken as a whole, will indeed leave a huge stain upon any claim Jewish people – in general – have upon that “high moral ground” their culture and religion were presumed to bestow upon them.

Of course, most of the Israelis I know orwhose comments I read, do not even acknowledge that a genocide was committed in the first place, something they can do given the their lingusitic insulation from the accounts seen by the rest of the world, as well as the wall-to-wall censorship in Israel, both self-imposed and dictated by the government. With Israel comprising one half of the total Jewish population in the world, to which we should add the many diaspora co-religionists who lend their support despite overwhelming evidence of crimes against humanity, I’d say that it will be difficult for Jewish people of the future to wash their hands off the guilt and responsibility for the horrific massacres and mayhem unleashed upon the people of Gaza, as well as many residents of the West Bank.

I’d go even further and maintain that the studied apathy of most Israelis towards the killing of so many men, women and children in gaza – has all but soiled the religion of Judaism itself, in all its forms – from orthodox to reform. It will be difficult, if not impossible to remove this particular stain when, say, defending or advocating Judaism as a religion that has built-in caring and universal ethical concern for human welfare. Sadly, Gaza may well mark the end point of that lovely Tikun Olam movement to which most liberally minded Jewish people in the US subscribe.

4. Alon Mizrahi, an Israeli anti-Zionist Jew, believes that, given the close ties between Israel and the Diaspora, political responsibility for the crimes of Zionism, and therefore also for the genocide in Gaza, should be collectively assumed by the international Jewish community. What do you think of this idea?

– I think the answer is similar to what was given for #9 just above. Unfortunately, one can advocate for such responsibility but that doesn’t mean that the ones who shirked it in the first place (I am refering again to the well-endowed Jewish “establishment” as well as to movements like Chabad that have grown increasingly more extreme in their views) will ever accept it.

5. Antisemitism is the only form of racism theorized in various declarations (for example the IHRA and the Jerusalem Declaration) that encompass numerous behaviors—explicit, implicit, cryptic, and so on. People often also speak of unconscious or unintentional antisemitism. Mere doubt about the legitimacy of a Jewish state in Palestine is often considered antisemitic. But even talking about the many positions of power held by Jews in finance, the media, etc., leads directly to accusations of antisemitism. Do you consider this fair? What is antisemitism for you, in concrete terms? Shouldn’t antisemitism be called “anti-Jewish hatred” and placed on the same level as all other forms of racism?

– I have written a long essay about this very subject, built upon the thesis that, according to my own reading and personal experience with other Jews and Israelis, anti-semitism is something nearly ALL Israelis and a majority of Jews consider as something universal, ubiquitous and unending. They all seem to share a deep belief that one can never exorcise the anti-semitism from the gentile, even if said gentile never as much as met a Jew or even heard of one in their life (like an isolated tribe in the Amazons?).

It is somehow assumed to be effectively an inborn trait of all humans. Sounds silly? Not to most Jews, who seem to live in a state of perpetual fear that Nazis are just around the corner. I claim that in part, this is less of a tacit accusation and more of a projection of their own psyche. Something that is obvious now more than ever before, as the bad behavior of israel appears all but determined to invite the very rebukes and opprobrium they have been dreading all this time.

Of course the cultured Jews of the Anglo countries will not admit to such projections though even they, at least among themselves, may carry – and even profess – such beliefs to various degrees. The difference from the more toxic carrying on about anti-semitism we see coming from various official and unofficial corners such as the ADL, etc, is that these more “cultured” and of course “liberal” Jews do allow for exceptions to that universal principle of never-ending antipathy towards “The Jews” (exceptions, say for Asians? Or Eskimos? Or a non-Jewish spouse?).

6. Do you think there exists a form of racism rooted in Jewish culture? Or one rooted in Jewish Zionism?

– Absolutely. I already elaborated in my response to #4 that traditional Judaism includes within its very core a form of sanctioned racism towards non-Jews (cf goys or gentiles) which in many ways is similar to the caste like system of India, with its many gradations. Indeed, overt racism exists even among Jewish people, certainly so in Israel where Ashkenazi Jews look down on Mizrahi ones (who hail from Arabic countries whose culture – and language – are regarded as inferior), who in turn are generally angry and feel insecure in Israel (ingesting something of a Stockholm syndrome, no doubt). Naturally the Mizrahis as a class then look down on Arabs as a still lower class, effectively relegating them to the status of “untouchables”. Not only that, but Israelis look down upon black people in general and openly claim them as intellectually inferior. So a new class of immigrants to israel, such as the Ethiopians, will occupy a rang somewhere between the lower branches of the Mizrahis and Arabs (a caste which is, in turn, further divided into sub-castes such as Druz, Chrisian Palestinian cand the lowest of the low – “the Muslim Arabs”).

This deep core of racism, which is a direct result of the choseness complex (as some of us call it) is not something many of the more cultured Jews outside israel will admit openly, except strictly among themselves, and only under duress. Of course some otherwise well educated Jewish people may proclaim their tribal superiority quite openly – witness certain columns written in the past by the likes of eminent commentators such as David Brooks and Thomas Friedman who merrily cited Jewish economic clout and historical accomplishments in the past century or so (especially in the US) as decisive evidence for innate intellectual prowness. Naturally, Reform and Conservative denominations of Judaism in the US will fiercely disclaim such racist views, as best exemplified by enlightened, highly erudite individuals such as Peter Beinart. But deep deep at heart, they all know even if they’ll never admit to knowing, much less feeling.

Gilad: Finkelstein exposes the reality of the “Jewish” White Supremacist State over in the Middle east + a few other all too real elephants in the room. The truth of such deeply held supremacist attitudes (not just among Israelis either) are not news to me of course (I mean, as a “tribal” insider I’ve known the score for a long time) but many, way too many are still in denial.

The part Finkelstein does not go into in this interview is the really dangerous part — the one about the infectious toxicity of this supremacist virus gnawing at the heart of the American Empire, now led by a Caligula-like, Might makes Right clown who adores himself above all else (so much so he neglects to see the deep shadows walking right alongside him, whispering sweet nothings in his ear).

No photo description available.

In the past political commentators used to analyse USA foreign policies taking into consideration American national interests, geopolitical complexities, American economy, USA defence needs etc.

No one is doing that anymore. All we see instead is acceptance that the ginger Caligula at the helm is a malignant narcissist, a pathological case who is also subject to blackmail by his Jerusalem puppeteer. Accordingly, not one commenter is even trying to identify a rational in American current politics and actions

We must never forget the Palestinians have always been test subjects for western weapons of war and that the drone tech tested in Gaza is now surveilling us in our towns and cities.

We must never forget ICE and US Border Control agents now visiting terror on US cities are trained by the IDF.

We must never forget that there is no talk whatsoever of justice, no talk of holding Israel to any kind of account, no discussion of rebuilding Gaza beyond the criminal Trump mafia racket known as the Board of Peace.

We must never forget that France, the UK, Canada and other western states recognised a Palestinian state not out of a genuine belief in Palestinian statehood or because they consider the Palestinians to be people worthy of a state, but to try and silence critics of their pro-Israel, pro-genocide policies.

Israeli strikes kill over 20 Palestinians in Gaza, including five children. Children die from lack of medical care as medical evacuations through Rafah remain at a trickle. UN says Rafah reopening far from sufficient in daily briefing. Israel imposes strict limits on Gaza returnees at crossing, as one returnee describes abuse at Rafah crossing. Israeli forces shoot dead Palestinian man in Jericho. Israeli troops arrest over two dozen Palestinians in West Bank raids. European diplomats urge EU action against Israel. UAE denies plans to administer Gaza’s civil society.

HRW director resigns after report on right of return shelved: Human Rights Watch’s Israel-Palestine Director Omar Shakir resigned Monday after leadership halted publication of a vetted report characterizing Israel’s decades-long denial of Palestinian refugees’ right of return as a crime against humanity. The decision was made by incoming Executive Director Philippe Bolopion two weeks before release, and the intervention bypassed the organization’s established legal review process, Shakir said, and reflected what critics called an “Israel exception.” Senior figures, including former HRW Chief Ken Roth, defended blocking the report, while dozens of staff protested internally.

“Israel/Palestine has been the litmus test for every major institution,” Shakir wrote in his resignation email, warning that “Palestine exceptionalism often opens the door to other unprincipled compromises.”

Shakir and Milena Ansari, who contributed major research to the report, submitted their resignations on January 15.

“Throughout my tenure, the review process ensured we published the facts as we documented them and the findings that derived from our principled and consistent application of the law,” Shakir wrote in the email sent to Middle East and North Africa (MENA) leadership and human resources. “I can no longer say that.”
