Good work, Mr. President Biden. You have managed to do what America’s enemies have not – creating widespread hatred for the United States around the globe. Your destruction of the Gaza refugee camps has inflamed antisemitism everywhere.
There is widespread disgust and anger at the US government over your decision to give Israel’s new far right government carte blanche to massacre rebellious Palestinians in the open prison of the Gaza Strip. The death toll is now over 31,000 killed and at least 70,000 seriously injured, not counting the long-term effects of malnutrition and even starvation. Most victims are women and children.
All of Gaza’s hospitals have been wrecked by Israeli bombs and tank fire. The Biden administration has thoughtfully rushed tank shells to Israel’s armored forces. Large stores of arms and supplies, supposedly provided by the US to Israel for an emergency situation, have been offered up to Israel to continue its massacre of Gaza. Such action violates US law – which bars the use of US-supplied arms against civilians. Dropping 2,000 lbs bombs on residential buildings is, according to Israeli spin doctors, ‘counterterrorism.’ The rest of the world does not think so.
Except of course the US, Canada and Britain, where the media is totally dominated by supporters of Israel’s now governing far right. And Washington, which is paralyzed by pre-election fever. Palestinian ‘terrorists’ are purposely running into Israeli tanks, shells and bombs just to discredit Israel. Big money financial donors are terrorizing major US and British educational institutions. Writers who dare challenge Israel’s party line on Gaza are blacklisted. Those honorable Jews who denounce Israel’s brutal policies in Gaza are denounced as ‘self-hating Jews.’
We are not told that Gaza’s terrified civilians originally came from areas around Gaza and Galilee from whence they were driven into the prison camp of Gaza from their historic homes by ethnic cleansing and massacres after 1948. Their lands were seized by the Israeli government or far-right settlers, many from the US.
As yet, we know little about the alleged massacre of some 1,000 Israelis attending a music festival on former Arab lands. I know this region fairly well after visiting the kibbutz of Nahal Oz in the 1950’s to meet relatives and see how Israel was allegedly making once supposedly barren lands flower and blossom. There were no such people as Palestinians, according to Israel’s then prime minister, who herself hailed from Ukraine.
Israel’s governing far right – was described by the late, great Israeli writer Uri Avnery as ‘Jewish fascists.’ They clearly intend to grind Gaza and its people into dust. There are large numbers of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, some of whom were gunned down this week. The objective of Israel’s far right is to expel these Arabs from the entire West Bank that Israel seized in the 1967 War and shove them into the arid Jordanian desert. Israel has long had its eye on southern Lebanon and its Litani River waters.
‘Don’t worry what Washington will say,’ said the architect of this mess, the late General Ariel Sharon. ‘I control Washington.’ True enough, as Biden and his party are showing. Wall Street donors have become more important than America’s geopolitical interests.
Interestingly, the likely winner of the upcoming US presidential election, Donald Trump, is an even stauncher supporter of Israel. But even many Democrats don’t trust his fidelity to Israel even though he openly dislikes Arabs and Muslims. Trump appears to have a clearer idea of where America’s interests lie – he may not allow Israel to lead America around by the nose.
Israel’s North American partisans keep running old films about the Holocaust to help justify their laying waste to Gaza. We ought to remember there were less than half the numbers of Jews in the besieged Warsaw Ghetto than there are today Palestinians in Gaza.
Americans should be ashamed of Biden. His administration, infiltrated and directed by far-right neocons, does not represent America’s values or traditions. Gaza will remain a major crime as well as a dark stain in America’s honor.
America is controlled by Jews. Just say it Mr. Margolis.
For TUR newbies:
There can’t be many public intellectuals these days who self-describe as Eisenhower Republican. Eric Margolis, a resident of Manhattan who leisures in France, is one of them.
This back-from-the-archived columnist has often reported facts that shame the Establishment. But he just as often goes out of his way to speak contemptuously of his fellow Americans west of the Hudson who have to work for a living. It seems as though he fears being ostracized for siding with the inland hicks, especially when he’s discomfiting his friends and neighbors.
With that in mind, notice how many times the scare-words “far right” (or “far-right”) are used here. What do they even mean in the context of this essay? Is Mr. Margolis suggesting that others aren’t as complicit in the war crimes against Gaza that he rightly condemns?
I certainly am! He needs to stop giving a crap about the Palestinians and stop promoting the long dead “2-State Solution”. He needs to stand up strongly for Israel.
Why should America be “ashamed” of President Biden? He is not our son, daughter, parent, relative, elected official, competent madman. He is a strawman, placed in a position of power, manipulated by not-so-unseen forces to do their bidding. He would truly be the emperor with no clothes if he had any sense of self-awareness, the ability to be ashamed. But this is not the case and that fact is obvious.
I’m thinking that his best move is to totally eliminate Israel. And your mama who lives there.
“Far-right”–is a lie–are those people who are referring to Monarchists there, Mr. Margolis?
Us Catholics coined the term during the French Revolution–Rightists are Monarchists—all people who are democrats, levellers are Leftists. Nazism is of the Left! Goebbels:
You consider yourself a Christian—YOU are LYING.
Hitler was a Leftist; Nazism was Leftist
https://www.academia.edu/44391380/
Nationalism has NOTHING to do with what it means to be Right or Left! What is the Communist African National Congress? What about the nationalist Communist Irish Republican Army? Or the communist Nationalist Viet Cong? —All of these examples prove you wrong.
There is NO such thing as “Far-Right”–there are only Monarchists–everyone else is a Leftist. You are a Leftist, Margolis. Every American is a Leftist. The Nazis were Leftist. The Israelis are Leftist.
Do NOT lie. DO NOT change history or language–that is NOT Christian.
It takes an anti-Semite like the Veggie-In-Chief to make an effort at resurrecting the long dead “2-state solution”. Islam unilaterally killed that long ago. The Muslim side abrogated every deal they made, including the Oslo Accords.
The official leader of the Islamic Authority in Palestine is Mahmoud Abbas. He is currently in the 19th or 20th year of his 4 year term in office. What a symbol of good governance. His regime also engages in “pay-for-slay”. Diverting money away from the needs of the people to subsidize murders serving jail time.
If a 2nd state is required, make it far far away from Palestinian Jews. A piece of Ethiopia should be affordable. Let that be New Muslim Palestine. If a different tract of land is preferred, one should be able to find some Muslim country that would be willing to sell territory to help their coreligionists.
PEACE 😇
Just because our Marxist rulers libel us normies as “far right” doesn’t mean there aren’t actual Nazis out there. It’s fair to condemn Israel as “far right” because its government is literally fascist.
Wow, are they paying $0.10 per word these days?
The Palestinians are not the one’s who killed the treaties :
” We must define our position and lay down basic principles for a settlement.Our demands should be moderate and balanced, and appear to be reasonable. But in fact they must involve such conditions as to ensure that the enemy rejects them. Then we should manoeuvre and allow him to define his own position, and reject a settlement on the basis of a compromise position. We should then publish his demands as embodying unreasonable extremism.”
(Yehoshafat Harkabi, 2 November 1973)

“If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: We have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs. We come from Israel, it’s true, but 2,000 years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: We have come here and stolen their country.”
(David Ben-Gurion, unknown date)

“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” Israel Koenig, “The Koenig Memorandum”

So by their own admission, the Zionists were, from the very beginning, intending to kill or deport every single non-Jew from not just 1946 Israel but from Eretz Israel. (From the Nile to the Litani, from the Euphrates to the sea)

Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of Revisionist Zionism (precursor of Likud), The Iron Wall, 1923: “A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else-or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE!… Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important… to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonizing.”

David Ben Gurion, future Prime Minister of Israel, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985: “We must expel Arabs and take their places.”

So please don’t come with your Hasbara bullshit here.
It was the last one that rankled:
Needless, gratuitous. And many of the people he should be shaming take comfort in this snobbery, thinking he’s not talking about them.
It is not a majority of Americans who should be ashamed, Mr. Margolis, nor a majority of Canadians, or Brits, or Aussies. It is almost entirely Jews who are responsible for the evils that have been perpetrated against the original inhabitants of Palestine, starting from the arrival of the first Zionists and steadily escalating since then into the genocidal horrors currently unfolding. It is the overwhelming majority of Jews, around the world, who defend and support this horror. It is wealthy and powerful Jews who dominate and control the USA hegemon’s MSM and other information industries, its financial systems, its legal systems, and the highest levels of its government bureaucracies. It is these who in the USA own the Biden administration and any likely alternative, e.g. Donald Trump and exercise similar domination in Canada, the UK, etc..
Today they are killing in Gaza. Who will be the next victims?
Since 1948, after a break of two millennia, the Zionists have murdered more thousands of people in Palestine alone than the rest of the nations of the world, with the exception of NATO countries which have never stopped killing in large numbers to keep Free Lunch and racism alive.
My mama be dead.
Can anyone name a public company traded on Wall Street that does not support the Zionist entity, lock, stock, and bagel? I can’t think of one. Don’t think it’s allowed. It seems in order to fund a nation such as Israel it would be shrewd business to make Zionists rich, giving them financial power over all those who may stand in their way. Plus donations and bribery sure do have leverage over media, education, elections, and government as we are presently observing in real time.
most public corporations are, like the Gubmint, wallowing in debt.
and it’s the Jews that own/control that debt. As far as “rich” individuals are concerned,
did we not just see “the world’s richest man”, Elon Musk, go to Israhell to kiss Bennie’s butt
then travel to Auschwitz, put on the small hat, and proclaim himself Jewish?
yes, we did.
Q.E.D.
Money makes the world go around. Musk knows what side his bread is buttered on.
Many here would do well to learn a similar lesson. They might not be living hand to mouth then.
Jung Freud has an article here at Unz Review, which touches upon the Right/Left divide
https://www.unz.com/jfreud/how-leftism-can-go-from-nationalism-to-globalism-ideological-leftism-vs-psychological-leftism/

Yeah–The French Revolutionaries were Nationalist!!!! Nationalism has NOTHING to do with what is “Right/Left”. That Nazis or Nationalists are Rightists is Marxist agitprop and is a LIE.
And nations pursue – at any cost it seems – wherever their “interests lie”. But the pursuit in interests eventually brings them to the conflict they are trying to avoid. The horrors of the Gaza conflict are going to spread.
The human race faces another world war. This is because governments are deluding themselves, blind to the pattern of history. It comes down to a simple syllogism: every empire/civilization has eventually faced the war it was trying to avoid; everyone wants to avoid WWIII; therefore, that is the fate that awaits.
Paradoxically, the only chance of avoiding that fate is to accept it. Unless the nuclear powers can be convinced to change course nuclear Armageddon will not be averted. Their minds need to focus on the clear message and warning: whatever war you are trying to avoid, is the one you are going to get. I deal with the arguments (and possible solutions) in my new e-pamphlet ( The Doomsday Syllogism ) for anyone who wishes to read it.
If she was as wicked as yourself… good.
Like mama, like son!
We can hope.
Four times in this article Eric Margolis repeats the phrase “far-right”!
But that isn’t the issue:
Driven from their homes in 1947-1948 by secular socialist Zionists armed by communist Czechoslovakia, not the “far right”.
Golda Meir of the Labor Party, not the “far right”.
Is that supposed to be a joke? The socially liberal, open-borders neocons are “far-right”?
That is because according to Israeli President Isaac Herzog of the Labor Party, there are no innocent Gazans.
This isn’t a matter of left vs. right.
In Europe and America, “far-right” nationalists are peaceful and humane.
Jewish supremacists on the other hand are cruel and vindictive, whether they label themselves “left”, “right” or “center”.
