Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Will protesters ever learn that peaceful protests do not work when governments care not what people think and represent private agendas and not the people? The protests that work are the violent ones by Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
It appears that one-tenth of a million Gazans have already been killed or maimed by the American-financed and militarily-supplied Israeli intended genocide of the remnants of the Palestinian population, a people who have been evicted from their lands and villages bit by bit since 1947.
This time the violence is massive, and only the Houthis, a poor population in Yemen that survived years of Washington-inspired attacks from Saudi Arabia, has lifted a hand to help the Palestinians.
The “civilized West” responded to the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians by cancelling their contributions to the UN agency that provides Palestinians with humanitarian aid. Consequently, now 1,000,000 Palestinians are facing starvation as Israel has blocked food deliveries and medicines, knocked out the water supply, hospitals, sanitation, and intends to drive any surviving Palestinians into Egypt. https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/israel-attacks-remaining-medical-infrastructure-gaza-strip-further-reducing-palestinians-chances-survival-enar-0
So what do we hear from the governments of the “great moral West”?
We hear about Israel’s right of “self-defense.” The Western governments, immoral to the hilt and all enthralled to Israel, have redefined genocide as self-defense. The West’s citizens are so successfully propagandized by Israeli disinformation over decades and generations that the subservience of Western “democracies” to Israel goes unremarked among the small part of the world that is considered to be the West.
But not in the rest of the world. The United States and Israel have achieved the status of pariah states, the agents of Satan.
Why, despite this realization, does the rest of the world sit watching the destruction of a people, as Romans watched for entertainment lions devouring Christians in the Colosseum? Russia, China, Iran, and the rest with the exception of South Africa, which took Israel to the International Court of Justice, have not lifted a finger to help the Palestinians. Washington claims to protest but keeps sending Israel the weapons.
This despite the fact that the governments of Russia, China, and Iran know that the real target is them.
Israel and the neoconservatives intend the destruction of Iran, which will release “jihadists” into the Russian Federation and deprive China of oil. It is Japan in the 1930s all over again, and yet the targeted countries do nothing.
If Putin and Xi and the Iranians think that they can sit out the conflict, they are mistaken. You cannot sit out a conflict that is directed at you.

Neocon alert. Just because PCR is not a slave to the mainstream narratives does not excuse the fact that all his solutions involve more aggressive military intervention.
The countries he mentions are making plenty of peaceful efforts to undermine US/ISR hegemony through BRICS.
Wah Wah Wah.. They stop contributions to the UN agency that supposedly supplied A to the Palestinians which most of it went to Hamas.
And that un agency participated in the attacks in October on Israel.
You’re full of shit.
There are more spies per square yard there than anywhere on earth. The response time was very slow. I think Israel either had a hand in it or stood down.
Why not just accuse them directly? Or even originally?
Yeah and Putin blew up his own gas line too…. Oh wait “we’ve ” moved on from virtue signaling bout the wonderful neo nazi’s in Ukraine now and are now onto supporting the people who’s singular obsession is to tunnel under their neighbors houses so they can sneak up on them and murder torture and rape them and slaughter their children . Sorry , I sometimes have a hard time keeping up with whatever the latest” cause celeb “happens to be . What happened to Dresden was also quite unfortunate but they fucked around and found out also . I dont have to like any of this to understand how it came about do I ? Ya think we got a massive bad karma tab coming due here in Murika as a result of all of our governments mendacious foreign ventures while we we’re too busy lookin at Kim Kardasians enormous ass and watching the stupor bowl half time predictive programming show to give a fuck ? Booh fuckin hoo , and cry me a river . It is what it is .
The October 7th attack was a false flag attack. Israel does them all the time. 9/11 was a false flag attack by Israel to get the US to attack its enemies in the Middle East.
Good point. Even if peaceful protests achieve any public traction, and the power in charge withdraws its actions, it is only ever a temporary reprieve. They will wait until the protesters go home, and public attention dies down, and then they will continue with what they were doing. What did the trucker convoy in Canada actually change? Or the similar convoy in Texas?
…OR…they’ll just kill the fucking protesters too. It’s ALL global depopulation. Winner winner chicken dinner!
At the first sign of Hype, I’m done.
one-tenth of a million Gazans
100 thousand Gazans
The super sizing of everything is getting Old.
The true target is the world. We are all Palestinians now. Have been for a long time now. Those cheering the local genocide of same are just to dense to realize it.
You’re free to call yourself a sand nigger if you want. Don’t include me in your bullshit.
Leave it to you to prove both my points.
pfftttt…mostly peaceful protest worked for Antifa and BLM, didn’t they ?
Amazing was it not.
Roberts is essentially understanding what President Jefferson was referring to in regard to the Shea Rebellion, when Jefferson made it clear that tyrants need to be assassinated, as some patriots are also taken down in the process. Jefferson didn’t state that they needed to be peacefully protested. He was a very wise man that understood world history, and that history always repeats itself.
I’m more Frank Castle’s Modus Operandi. Eliminate the worm and go fuck yourself!
