World at War ....... Part 25 ........ Nov 10, 2023 ..... How the Israeli narrative of Oct 7, 2023 crumbles to dust in less than a month OR how we have come a long way from 9/11 because now we have the power of the internet in our hands.

.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................First we had the in-depth article from Max Blumenthal https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/27/israels-military-shelled-burning-tanks-helicopters/ on Oct 27, tearing to pieces the fake stories put out for world consumption by Israel, well-known for its liars of the first order. For many of us, including myself who have become experts at recognizing Israeli Jewish falsehoods and are no longer taken in by mountains of such thrown around, we knew from Oct 7 itself that the stories as relayed by Israel and its mouthpieces in the US/Canada/UK/India and EU didn't hold much weight. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Yes, Hamas invaded and created havoc at Israel's border region, but in no way would Hamas have been able to do the kind of damage that Israel was stating it did. The horrifying story of the 40 babies beheaded was totally over the top. Then the rape stories and the story of the woman we saw with a brown patch on the back of her trousers that the stories coming out of Israel made it look like she was gang raped. I could see from that brown patch that either the woman's bowels gave way or she fell on her back in a muddy patch. I had also seen pics where the purported Hamas invaders were checking people's identity cards and later it was reported by Palestinian sources that Hamas was hunting for IDF among the music festival attendees to take them and even their families as hostages. The 200+ Israeli hostages are perhaps still within different areas of Gaza and those of us who value every single human life, irrelevant of creed or color, hope for their well-being and safe return to their families. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Below is Syrian Girl's post on X which has got more than 22 MILLION views, shared by 1000s of users, and further shared like I am doing on this blog by probably even more 1000s of people. I have yet to see any of the legacy media mentioning anything about how Israel use falsehoods to rile up emotions and get the leaders of the West to give their go-head for the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

World at War ....... Part 24a ............ Nov 9, 2023 ........... Speech by Daniel Berrigan in 1973


A Must Read.   It's long, but very insightful and very prophetic.

The actor John Cusack @johncusack twitted a link to an article from Mondoweiss which is about a speech given by Daniel Berrigan 50 years ago in 1973.  He saw clearly, even back then, what Israel had become.

I come before you this evening, as a non-expert in every field of human expertise, including the subject you have invited me to explore. I wish to include also in my field of inexpertise my own religious tradition; I am a non-expert Christian, by any conceivable standard.

This admission is in the interests of both clarity of mind and of moral conduct. I am interested, as a Christian, in one thing only; in so simple a thing as sane conduct in the world. The experts in my tradition, the theologians, the biblical scholars, and by and large, the hierarchy, go in another direction than mine. “Sane conduct” (whatever that means) is taken for granted; what really counts is the jot and tittle of the tradition, or its worldly prospering, or its honorable reception among peoples. Sane conduct is taken for granted; are not Christians by definition sane, in touch with the truth, destined to share infallibly in their reward?

 

I say no. The exemplary conduct of expert Christians, as indeed of most experts in human disciplines is to fiddle while the world burns. Hardly sane! A kind of lethal fatalism, looks equably upon combustible human flesh, shrugs its shoulders the better to nestle the violin, and coax from its entrails the immortal (and irrelevant) stroke…

Sane conduct in the world. Let me explain. I do not believe it is the destiny of human flesh to burn; and for that I am in trouble, as are my friends, to this day. I do not believe that a violin concerto, however immortal in execution, is the proper comfort to offer a napalmed child. I believe that the fiddler should come down from the roof, put his violin aside, take up his extinguisher, raise a cry of alarm, break down the intervening door. I believe that he should on occasion of crisis destroy property in favor of human life.

You see, I am a heretic in a consuming and killing culture, as well as in a complicity church.

These are troublesome statements; but do not call them naïve, or shrug them off as generally accepted by the civilized; or, in the presence of scholar, as irrelevant. Do not say: it is of course the generals who light fires, we deplore that. I answer: Most scholars, most priests, most Jews, most Arabs, while they would prefer some less horrendous sight than the burning flesh of children, are not seriously shaken in their style of mind, their taxpaying, their consumerism, their spiritual, economic, or political complicity, by such “incidents.”

I begin in so odious a way because I do not wish to narrow our question so sharply as to exclude ourselves from its orbit. I do not wish to take us off the hook, even while I wish to say something unequivocal about one instance of cruelty, racism, murder, as political tools.

It is of course scarcely possible to open the moral question of Israeli or Arab conduct today, without exciting the most lively passion, and risking the most serious charges. A war is underway. We are assured by the Israelis, and by most of the Jewish community throughout the world, that the war is a war of survival. We are assured just as vehemently by the Arabs that the war is one of expansion and aggression by Israel.....
