Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Those of us who were around for the Vietnam War remember the photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc– “the napalm girl”– the naked, badly burned 9 year old girl fleeing the advancing bombing.
Today, thanks to “the only democracy in the Middle East” and Israel’s Washington enabler, we watch on TV, in Pepe Escobar’s words, “the wanton killing of women and children, the carpet bombing of hospitals, schools and mosques.”
And nothing is done. Washington sends more bombs, more money. European politicians speak of wanton murder of civilians as “Israel’s right of self-defense.” We are descending into darkness and losing our souls.
What does it profit Israel to gain Palestine, yet forfeit Israel’s soul?
What does it profit Washington?
What does it profit Americans who are sending the money and bombs with which to genocide a people?

Same as it ever was with humanity– the century of barbarism in the 1900’s… also the 1800’s… the 1700’s.. and back and back
Isn’t it odd that we can never admit our own Nature to ourselves? And doesn’t that make us all liars who participate in such beliefs?
Most lies are spoken. The most blasphemous of them are lived.
The worst belief is the belief that ‘authority’ exists, it doesn’t, it’s a mind-virus; but we go along thinking some other asshole has the right to tell us what to do.
Hidden gem on that album
Ecclesiastes 1:10 “Is there anything of which one might say, “See this, it is new”? Already it has existed for ages.”
Attend the parable of the seed!
In the words of Jesue: “If you throw seeds carelessly on the ground, your harvest will be low.”
How else do they avoid another 10/7?
Remove the date from the calendar.
Just go straight from the 6th, to the 8th.
Add the day back as “Dec. 32, The date formerly known as the 7th”
Solved it
You mean November 7th?
“What does it profit?”.
Well,a canal thru Palestine to pull a partial workaround from Suez and…….,oh yah,some of the biggest natural gas reserves found off coast of Palestine.
What is the cost of a few lives in regards to these benefits?!
Ya gotta blow up a few pipelines to make an omelette.
They are not going to build a canal through Israel.
Tell that to the israelis (and the US enablers) who’ve already been planning and working on it for years …
They already control the region.
Why would they….oh…it’s a con job.
They are “planning to build”….. ..a disctinction!
They want to spend money planning to build a canal, and then keep the cash for building it, but never build the canal.
I think this is what they have been doing with the Temple Mount.
I think they have raised funds multiole times to “rebuild the temple” but never haver, choosing instead to live lavishly off the free monet.
Sorta like collecting a lot of money for Haitian housing?
Yepperito.
They have been rebuilding the temple for thousands of years.
I don’t see no temple.
That canal is as the high speed railroad in california. Not needed by anyone.
What’s a “palestine”?
The human race is seriously flawed. It’s ability to think, is misused to justify its own criminal behavior. Murdering other humans to get what they have is built into human DNA. Many of us deceive ourselves and claim to be good people because we have never personally murdered anyone, while at the same time supporting our government which does the murdering for us.
We come up with thousands of excuses to rationalize our murder of fellow humans, who are mostly poor people, who happen to live in areas where resources we want are located. We wallow in our arrogance because our genocides over the centuries have made us wealthy, and that somehow reinforces our belief that therefore we must be right in our crimes. We declare the poor people of other races and religions are getting what they deserve because we must dehumanize them in order to not condemn ourselves.
We live in an unjust world, where as a rule, the criminals prosper, and the good people are victims.
Good comment. I personally boil it down to G.R.E.E.D.
Second Glock on G.R.E.E.D.
Humans are in a forever circle of perpetual war, millions of years past, and millions forward. Wiping out and being wiped out over and over forever. When you see the trap, you understand that bringing kids to this endless war planet can only be done by mindblind psychopaths.
Israel does not have a soul to lose.
Humans all over the world but especially Americans have a long pattern of passively tolerating evil, wanton violence, genocide, the theft and destruction of “the other’s” lands, culture and lives. Internecine tribal and nation state wars in Europe spilled over into the “New World” and continue today. What is the status of the indigenous inhabitants of North America? How many “Indians” live in concentration camps (euphemistically called “reservations”) in 2023?
Israel’s ‘s genocide of the people in Gaza is just one example. Centuries ago people stood by and watched insane clerics burn people at the stake in England and the New England colonies, they tolerated the kidnapping and rape of Africans who were victims of intertribal wars encouraged by outsiders and brought to this hemisphere, lynching’s and other forms of torture were forms of entertainment in Europe and America. The slaughter of indigenous people around the world was done in the name of god, various Sultans, Pope’s, monarchs, chiefs, trading companies and the almighty dollar.
Israel is not the alone in evil, what is the difference between bombing civilians in an open air concentration camp called Gaza and poisoning humans around the world using toxic injections the manufactures know are not safe effective or healthy?
What will it take to change? What would real PEACE look and feel like. We will never know until we make the genuine effort to manifest it in our lives and the world.
In the last century alone, the US has slaughtered every group of people on the planet. ALL on a credit card issued by jews, enslaving the future in the process. Exactly what would the definition of a war virus be, if not this????
The DNC is probably working on a war virus plank for the ’24 election.
