Your ‘aid’ system will lead to chaos, as desperate, starving people fight for food. That’s great. They look like a swarming mass of the very ‘human animals’ you were talking about from the start

A short guide on how to engineer a genocide by starvation and ethnic cleansing:

1. Choose your moment. Ok, you’ve been ethnically cleansing, occupying, oppressing and killing your neighbours for decades. The international courts have ruled your actions illegal. But none of that will matter the moment your neighbours retaliate by attacking you. Don’t worry. The western media can be relied on to help out here. They will be only too ready to pretend that history began on the day you were attacked.

2. Declare, in response, your intention to starve your neighbours, treating them as “human animals”, by blocking all food, water and power. You will be surprised by how many western politicians are ready to support this as your “right to defend yourself”. The media will echo them. Important not to just talk about blocking aid. You must actually do it. There will be no serious pushback for many, many months.

3. Start relatively slowly. Time is on your side. Let a little bit of aid in. But make sure to relentlessly smear the well functioning, decades-old aid distribution system run by the international community – one that is transparent, accountable and widely integrated into the community it serves. Say it is infiltrated by “terrorists”.

4. Use that claim – evidence isn’t really necessary, the western media never ask for it – as the pretext to bomb the aid system’s warehouses, distribution centres and community kitchens. Oh, and don’t forget to bomb all the private bakeries, destroy all the farmland, shoot all the animals and kill anyone who tries to use a fishing boat, so that there are no other sources of food. You are now in control of the trickle of aid reaching what is rapidly becoming a severely malnourished population.

5. Time to move into higher gear. Stop the international community’s aid getting in all together. You will need a humanitarian cover story for this bit. The danger, particularly in an age of social media, is that images of starving babies will make you look very bad. Hold firm. You can get through this. Claim – again evidence isn’t really necessary, the western media won’t ask for it – that the “terrorists” are stealing the aid. You will be surprised how willing the media is to talk about babies going “hungry”, ignoring the fact that you are starving them to death, or speak of a “famine”, as though from drought and crop failure, not from your carefully laid plans.

6. Don’t lose sight of the bigger story. You are blocking aid to “eradicate the terrorists”. After all, what is the worth of a baby, of a child – all 1 million of them – in the fight to eliminate a rag-tag army of lightly armed “terrorists” who have never waged their struggle outside of their historic homeland.

7. Now that the population are entirely at your disposal, you can roll out a “humanitarian” alternative to the existing system you have been vilifying and wrecking. Probably best to have been working on this part of the plan behind the scenes from early on, and to have regularly consulted with the Americans on how to develop it. You may even find they are willing to fund it. They usually are. You can obscure their role by using the term “private contractors”.

ORDER IT NOW

8. It’s time for implementation. Obviously, the point is not to really distribute aid. It is all about providing a cover story so that the starvation and ethnic cleansing can continue. Make sure you provide only a tiny amount of aid and make it available only at a few distribution points you have set up with these “private contractors”. This has two advantages.

9. It forces the population to come to the areas you want them in. Like luring mice into a trap. Get them to the very edge of the territory, because from there you will be best positioned at some point to drive them over the border and get rid of them for good.

10. Your system will lead to chaos, as desperate, starving people fight for food. That’s great for you. It makes them look like a swarming mass of those “human animals” you were talking about from the start. Don’t they deserve their fate. And it means that young fit men – especially those from large, often armed, criminal families – will end up with most of the food. The stuff they can’t grab at the distribution points, they will ambush later as people try to return home laden with their heavy aid packages. That may seem counter-productive, given that you’re claiming to want to eliminate the “terrorists”. Won’t these fit, young men, as conditions degenerate further, provide a future source of recruits to the “terrorists”. But remember, the real goal here is to starve the population as quickly as possible. The young, the elderly, the sick and the vulnerable are the ones who will die first. The more of them who start dying, the faster the pressure builds on everyone else to flee the territory to save themselves.

You are nearly there. True, faced with the emaciated bodies of your victims, western politicians will start making harsh pronouncements. But they have already given you a massive head start of 20 months. Be grateful for that. You don’t need much longer. While they dither, you can get on with the job of extermination. Leave it to the history books to judge what really happened.

    As ugly as this all is, it’s an old story.

    But as far as sparing the fit young men: yes. If you wipe out the children and the women, the rest will take care of itself. When the young American nation was trying to get rid of the natives, they found that actually tracking down and killing the Indian warriors was very hard work. Getting rid of the women and children, herding them into reservations with limited food that would eventually limit the populations – that did the trick. There were roving bands of young male marauders but without the rest of their society they eventually got old or died off.

    Why does Islam refuse the easy option? There is a simple 2 step plan to improve humanitarian conditions:

    Step #1 — Let Muslim civilians leave Gaza.
    Step #2 — Provide food, water, and services away from the fighting.

    Over half the population is willing to voluntarily leave Gaza, temporarily or permanently. There are many Persian Gulf countries that could accept voluntary Muslims emigrants. Iran and Qatar are the most obvious choices, but not the only ones.

    Depriving genocidal Hamas of coreligionists to expend as human shields will motivate them to release hostages & reach a deal.

    The ancestors of the Hebrew killers and terrorists in occupied Palestine were acting out the same genocidal proclivities toward religious war against their neighbors when the Romans conducted three political wars against them (1st c. A.D.). Indeed, that is all the Hebrews know and all we can expect from them:

    We note our personal opinion that religious war (such as desired and practiced by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the mullahs in Tehran) is inherently unjust and not a humane or rational response to Hebrew genocidal religious terrorism, nor is Arab nationalism or Fatah crypto-Marxism. What is left? You must decide.

    Also Option #3, which has been available since 2023 – Hamas releases/returns all hostages, lays down their weapons and stands up to face the justice they deserve.

    Or Hamas can continue fighting to the last Palestinian.

    It doesn’t look like Netanyahu or Israel are going to back down from this battle.

    In fact, a majority in Israel are looking to up the ante:

    Poll: Huge majority of Israelis back Gaza ethnic cleansing
    New Arab.staff
    May 24, 2025

    An overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, aligning with the extremist Netanyahu government that has vowed to drive the Palestinians from their land.

    An online poll of more than 1,000 people found that 82% back the forced deportation of Gaza’s 2.2 million residents.

    The survey was conducted in the first week of March by Israeli polling firm Geocartography on behalf of Penn State University.

    The poll also indicated high levels of hostility towards Arab Israelis, with more than half (56%) of respondents voicing support for the deportation of the 2 million Arabs who hold Israeli citizenship.

    Even more alarmingly, a significant number of people expressed support for committing genocide against the Palestinians, with almost half of those surveyed agreeing that the Israeli military should reenact the story of the Israelites’ capture of Jericho.

    And your tongue spews lies from your father.

    And on top of all that, the modern state of Israel is an affront to God. The Church is the new Israel. The veil has been torn and God used the Romans to destroy and scatter them 40 years after their Saviour appeared and they ignored him and killed him. To stand with them is abominable.

    And your tongue spews lies from your false prophet Muhammad the Deceiver.

    On top of all that, Palestine is the land of Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad the Colonial prophet and his followers invaded and desecrated the region ~1,400 years ago. Everyone sees the truth:

    ================================
        Muslim Colonies are the Problem.
    Muslim Decolonization is the Answer!
    ================================

    Genocidal Hamas senselessly butchered and kidnapped innocent civilians on October 7. Your Islamic nations condemn Muslim children by holding them prisoner in Gaza. Your willingness to serve genocidal Muhammad is abominable.

    It is not too late. You can save your soul by turning away from Satan/Allah/Lucifer and its Hell spawn the Anti-Christ Muhammad. Accept The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit into your heart. If you refuse redemption, as a Christian, I feel great pity for you. All I can offer is Forgiveness.

    Given Israel’s increasingly tenuous position on the world stage, he appears to have lost his love of phony laughter, but we can safely assume he covered criterion #2 by assuming you’re Muslim. (Zionists always do this to anyone who opposes them.)

    With the exception of ‘Let me fix that for you,’ he’s also checked off item #3 rather predictably.

    So, let’s see… After some beta testing, we can revise that template as follows:

    1) Accuse respondent of being Muslim.
    2) Copy and paste respondent’s words, swapping out key terms with those sympathetic to Israel.

    Yep. Looks solid.

    Tenuous means barely hanging on. How does this apply to Israel? What is going to happen to them, given that the USA will ALWAYS be 100% behind Israel? There are too many Jews with too much power in the USA to ever allow anything to happen to Israel.

    Team Biden cut off weapons to Israel for a short time and what happened? He/Harris lost the election to Trump.

    The most genocidal Jewish regime before the present existed in historic times. Modern Zionism’s precedent goes back to the Hasmonean Dynasty, so often downplayed because its brutality voids the myth of perpetual Jewish victimhood. A thoroughly Hellenized monarchy, though descended from the Maccabees, the Hasmonean kings in Jerusalem initiated wars of conquest, ethnic cleansing, and forced conversion to unite for the first time the diverse peoples of the so-called “holy land” under their rule. The Hasmonean king Alexander Jannaeus destroyed Gaza city for refusing to accept the novel monotheistic Yahweh cult of his temple priesthood in 96 BCE, along with Pella, Samaria, Gedarah and many other cities and towns. With Roman assistance, Herod the Great conquered Jerusalem and deposed the last Hasmonean in 37 BCE.

    Hamas is a national liberation movement that is not based in Islam so much as it uses that faith to find the courage to keep up the fight against the alien interlopers from Europe, the US, and Russia, whose connection to Palestine exists only in their imagination.

    Once again you ignore the actual issue and go for ad hominem attack. Your tactics are transparent and ineffective.

    You do realize that you are effectively admitting that I am correct. And, that you have no fact based counter argument to this highly practical solution:

    Step #1 — Let Muslim civilians leave Gaza.
    Step #2 — Provide food, water, and services away from the fighting.

    • Why do you demand that your coreligionists must suffer?
    • Why do you disagree with the 1/2 (or more) of Gazans who want to voluntarily depart?
    ____

    Hamas unilaterally destroyed the Gaza aquifer in the name of Allah with their failed efforts at genocide targeting Palestinian Jews. The aquifer cannot be fixed. If the people of Gaza are to prosper, this implies a maximum population lower than the current level.

    Non partisan demographers see statistical trends leading to ~4 Million population by 2050. If you insist that Islamic camp guards will not let Muslims out.

    • What is your greater Islamic community of nations’ practical & realistic plan to support them?

    Everyone serious knows that there is no additional water to be had from Jewish Palestine, Muslim occupied Judea & Samaria, Jordan, Egypt or Saudi Arabia. If you believe desalination is the answer:

    -1- How will Islam pay the initial build cost for such plants?
    -2- Which Muslim nations will pay annual operating costs for decades, possibly forever?
    -3- How will Jihadi terrorists, like Hamas, be kept far away so the plants do not become collateral damage?

    And just to preempt your well nigh inevitable attempts at deflection. No practical & realistic plan will rely on stealing land or water from indigenous Palestinian Christians & Jews. Israel is far too short on water to provide more. And, Islam cannot conquer nuclear armed Palestinian Jews.

    Can you provide rational answers without resorting to more ad hominem attacks?

    The attack by Hamas that sparked the latest 0ngoing Hebrew genocide was by a flip-flop army under the operational name “Al Aqsa Flood.” The goal (recovery or preservation of the status quo at Al Aqsa Mosque) made it a religious war above all, now completely failed. To hold, as “Observator” insists, that Hamas is not based on the idea of Jihad (“Holy War”) is ridiculous.

    The list of historical crimes by the Hebrew killers now occupying Palestine is very long. One “Observator” may not be aware of came centuries after the West Romans kicked the Hebrews out of what we now call Palestine (1st-2nd c. A.D.), when the Hebrews arranged from their base in Persia a counter-attack against the East Romans by King Khosrau of Persia (614 A.D.). (This was just before the Hebrews inspired the anti-Christian Koran and the idea of Caliphate.)

    As a result of 7th-c. Hebrew machinations in Persia, 100,000 Byzantine Roman Christians in Palestine were massacred and another 40,ooo were racially labeled and sold into slavery. Can readers now see an ancient precedent for the crypt0-Hebrew Trump Plan for Gaza in 2025? Trump is the new King Khosrau!

    With Unz.Com readers in mind, we constructed a short but revealing history of the Hebrew followers of Moses the Sorcerer that shows the variety of their methods (including Black Magic and Sorcery) and the single-mindedness of their murderous plans, which have never changed and never will:

    I am glad to see Trumps ear has grown back.

    The jews occupation of Palestine is tenuous. The world now sees the occupiers for what they are and the occupation for what it is, as a great man pointed out, it is a “…central organization for their international world swindler, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks….”

    The USA is about to fall from the weight of the national debt and Trumps inept leadership. as nutty yahoo says “we have sucked the USA dry it can now dry up and blow away, we will now leach on to Argentina.” When the USA falls the parasite will fall. The parasite will have killed its host.

  20. It’s been said Jews are more precious because there’s only a fixed number of them.

    There are over 1 billion Christians and over 1 billion Muslims but 15 million Jews.

    But this misses the point. There’s a huge number of Jewish-adjacent or Judacent goyim that idolize, revere, worship, and obey the Jews.

    It’s safe to say that the majority of Western Christians are Judacents. Take the likes of Kristi Noem, Tom Cotton, Mike Huckabee, and so on and on. They aren’t Jewish but as Old Testament Christians(as opposed to proper New Testament ones), their many loyalty is to appease and please Jews as their god-masters.

    Would Zion have such power if the West weren’t full of Judacents? When Netanyahu delivers one of his vile addresses to Congress, the great majority of the politicians present aren’t Jewish but they are Judacents whose main loyalty to Jews and Israel than to the US and their own ethnic folks. A Judacent politician from Arkansas or West Virginia is far more likely to defend Israel and praise Jews than his own state and constituents, many of whom are also Judacents because of their low IQ, ignorance, and easy manipulation by Christcuck churches that do the bidding of Zion.

    Thus, there are over 1 billion Muslims and 1 billion Christians, but there are at least 500 million Judacents(mostly in the West) who do the bidding of the Empie of Judea.

    “the latest 0ngoing Hebrew genocide”

    Too funny! Yet another person who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word genocide. A successful genocide wipes out the target. “the latest 0ngoing Hebrew genocide” is an impossible dichotomy.

    If you follow the link to the authors website, he claims to have an MA. Wherever he received that MA from (University of Phoenix?), English and Logic were not course in his curriculum as evidenced by this bit of absolute foolery, which is the lead-off blurb on his webpage and which should inform any thinking person of the weight that they should assign the author’s postings here on TUR:

    “The author is an independent researcher investigating the platonic Idea as the fundamental, continuing ’utterance’ of the Absolute–its microphysical basis, its self-generation of a pseudo-history in geology and astronomy, its foundational support for living motion, conscious awareness, biopsychological functioning, and even intellectual achievement, as well as its necessary implication of a universal negative unity as the ideal origin of all gravitational and inertial phenomena. ”

    The infamous “Scofield Study Bible” instigated by the Talmudists and found all over the world in Protestant seminaries is precisely designed to argue that Christian salvation depends on what the Hebrews do in Palestine–on their rebuilding a despicable Temple of Animal Sacrifice to placate the God of Death (Yahveh) that Hebrews worship of old. Someone ought to tell U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson about this and also Vice-President J.D. Vance, each of whom is guided by this Hebrew-designed heresy–no doubt President Trump himself has absorbed the Scofield ideology.

    Samuel Untermyer was behind the funding of the Scofield Bible. He bribed the grifter, Cyrus Scofield, whose name is on the book. Untermyer was a strong supporter of Zionism, creation of the Federal Reserve, and the manipulation and bribery of sock-puppet Woodrow Wilson. Thus the Hebrews developed the Christian Zionist ideology (‘Scofield Study Bible’) that today motivates the likes of VP Vance and Speaker Johnson. But much more importantly the Talmudists also know and exploit the Sunni-Shiite split (since they created Islam) so as to always advance the goals of the Hebrew-Talmudists. Next will be the extirpation of the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

    But we invite Unz.Com readers to take the long view and see how the Hebrew killers are behind the NATO proxy-war against Russia in Ukraine, which threatens to engulf the World through Nuclear Winter, a climate disaster that would completely dwarf anything hitherto worryingly conceived on “climate change.” Here is the true history of the current war against Post-Soviet Russia going back to the 13th c.:

  25. I skipped over most of the comments, almost all of which are usually worth reading. Aside from the broad geopolitical matters being considered, the author mentions the complicit MSM. Here, I’m going to have a difficult time containing myself about these execrable whores working in Midtown NYC for Fox News.

    They eat at five-star restaurants for freakin’ lunch, or order in the same with a wave of the hand. These people suck so bad it defies explanation how anyone takes the lines they read seriously. On Fox News it’s literally 100% fake promotion of the Jews’ and Israelis’ lies.

    It’s difficult to make the most basic point—these hirelings of the Jews whom fools mistake for journalists are dipping filet mignon in wine sauce over $30 glasses of wine after denouncing the children in Palestine as being worthy of being burnt alive. And that doesn’t even come close to seeing these whatever-they-are lavishing themselves while their lies make continued genocide possible.

    You can count on it—the talking heads on Fox News and their guests will be partying this weekend while little Palestinian kids can’t get basic surgery for blown off limbs. What makes me even sicker is that virtually all the Republicans I know believe the Palestinians are getting what they deserve. There aren’t the words . . .
