You have already taken a side on Israel-Palestine

Submitted by: aka.attrition

Source: Caitlin Johnstone

You have already taken a side on Israel-Palestine. You have either consciously chosen to side with the people who are being continually massacred by Israel, or you have consciously chosen to side with Israel, or you have sided with Israel by being “neutral”, or you have sided with Israel by being indifferent.

As Desmond Tutu said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

It’s okay not to have an opinion on everything. It’s fine not to take a position on every political issue that comes across your screen. Most people have way too many opinions, and most of them are about silly and unworthy things.

The onslaught that is happening in Gaza is not one such instance, though. Taking a stand against genocide is what having opinions on things is FOR. Opposing mass-scale human butchery and ethnic cleansing is the fundamental, bare-minimum position that all other political positions should follow from. If you can’t take a stand against that, what are you even doing here? How have you been spending your brief time on this planet? How have you managed to make it to this point in life without maturing to the barest minimum standard possible?

You might think Israel-Palestine is too complicated for you to take a stand on. It isn’t. It’s very simple. Many of the small specific details are complex, but the overall reality they form is simple: an apartheid state has spent five months butchering and starving the population it has marginalized in a way that advances that state’s longstanding political agendas of ethnically cleansing that population from the land.

You might think you’re too cool or too evolved or too smart to take a side on Israel-Palestine. You are not. You have already taken a side, whether you admit it or not.

You might think Israel-Palestine has too many gray areas and uncertainties for you to legitimately take a side. It does not. The endless stream of footage of skeletal bodies and children ripped apart by military explosives over the last five months makes it very clear that this issue has a right side and a wrong side, and you are already standing on one of them.

By all means refuse to take sides on other issues; not taking a side is entirely legitimate when it comes to most issues people are wasting their breath bickering about. But not this one. When it comes to Gaza, reality demands a position from you.

That doesn’t mean you have to side with the Palestinians if you don’t want to. You are a sovereign human being; it’s up to you. But don’t kid yourself about being neutral. At least be real with yourself that by refusing to pick a position you are licking the boot of a nuclear-armed ethnostate that is backed by the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. If you can’t be real about anything else, at least be real about that.

Gaza daily deaths exceed all other major conflicts in 21st century: Oxfam.

Human Rights Watch also says Israel’s war on Gaza has included ‘acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes’.

The second sentence gives this away as anti-Israel propaganda. The choices are “you have either consciously chosen to side with the people who are being continually massacred by Israel, or you have consciously chosen to side with Israel…” Either the “…continually massacred by Israel…” should come out or “…Israel, that was subjected to an unprovoked slaughter…” should be added to begin the article with some objectivity. Caitlin doesn’t have the guts to announce the intent of her article. Maybe Caitlin is another “Jenner.”

The land belongs to Israel, because God said it did. Whether you hate Jews and love Palestinians or vice versa, it doesn’t matter. It still belongs to Israel. Sure, the whole world is killing each other off, but picking a side because you don’t like one or the other is just Satanic. God will straighten this all out in the end and it is coming very soon.

While Ms. Johnstone discusses “for” Palestine, or “for” Israel, and dismisses “neutral”, she glaringly avoids “apathetic”.

The whole war was to depopulate it of slavs so they could ship the kikes in there because they are being thrown the fuck out of Palestine finally. It’ll suck to be a kike globally, the poor inbred hook nosed scummy vermin that they are, parasitic, evil, utterly mentally ill vermin. fuck em. fuck em all. they all need dirt naps. to the last one.

Caitlyn is 100% correct. The Gaza Atrocity is of the same caliber as the Rape of Nanking or the Liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto. It’s completely disgusting plus a war crime.

Ethnic cleansing, scorched earth and mass slaughter of civilians is ALWAYS the Devil’s business.

Good lord, why do you think the Jews were segregated away from the general population in Warsaw?

It was because they refused to take showers or baths.
They refused to use sewer connected toilets. Preferring to literally dig holes to crap in their own yards in violation of sanitation laws.
They were kept seperate to prevent the spread of lice and lice borne parasites and bacteria.

Had nothing to do with religion or race.
It had everything to do with hygiene and protecting the public from a disease vector-Hebrews who refused to take baths.

This is presented as a binary choice. Stand with one side or the other.

No.

This will be settled by force of arms, and my “taking a side,” or “indifference” has nothing to do with the ultimate outcome. Don’t sell me on the “have to take a stand against genocide.” I reject the propaganda put forth by both sides.

Well said. Why should we believe anything that gets “reported” regarding what is going on in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, or Gaza? It’s pretty much like our own “peaceful protests” a couple summers ago. Burning and rioting are peaceful activities? Of course, according to the corrupt media. Should the truth ever come out then it would be easy to have a principled opinion and until then opinions like what the author mandates on the truly undecided are as worthless as a pile of dog shit.

As Desmond Tutu said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

What the fuck would I do about an elephant on a mouse’s tail even if I wanted to?

In 2022, or 21 or 20 or 19 etc, no one would have just walked up to someone and demanded that they have a solution for peace in the Middle East and called you evil if you didn’t come up with one on the spot. This article is pure emoting from a hysterical woman.

One side says “kill all the arabs”
The other side says “kill all the jews”

Caitlin says I’m the monster if I don’t back one or the other. Failing to side with “kill all the jews” is NOT an endorsement of “kill all the arabs” except to someone fully fucking retarded like Caitlin Johnstone.

P.S. Fuck Desmond Tutu. He was no kind of Christian, he was a fake Catholic pushing some sort of syncretism between Black Liberation Theology and bone-thru-the-nose, plate-in-lip bobongo shamanism. What are the fruits of his labor in S.A.? Murder. Rape. Pillage. Kill the Boer, eh Caitlin? It’s one or the other.
P.P.S. Hey, Caitlin. Take a trip to South Africa to support your side and don’t forget to pick up any hitchhikers you see, like this fine fellow:

Nope.
They said I was racist because I am white.
Seeing as the Jews control the bully pulpit, the logical conclusion is that jews are trying to trick me into killing for their interests.
Seeing as the Jews have no interest in defending whites?
And instead have been actively fomenting anti white hatred my entire life.
For that?
Fuckyou and your Jewish genocide of nons.

Jews? You are chosen by god.
Why doesn’t God bail you out?
Oh, cuz you made all that shit up.

You Jews, are responsible for misleading the earth with three murderous religions.

If the Jews are gods chosen, let HIM save them.
Why won’t they do that?

I chose the side of liberty a long time ago. Unfortunately, most of the humans on this planet are either NPCs or zombies. As such it is impossible to reason with them and convince them that being a bootlicker is stupid. The Israelis and Palestinians are probably mostly bootlickers, so I hope they wipe each other out. Just like I hope most of the people on the planet soon die off. Humanity, for the most part, is the dumbest species on the planet. 70% are close-minded and of the remaining 30% that aren’t, half of them are probably below average intelligence. That leaves 15% of us that can actually think. When 85% of humans are dumb as rocks, that’s a recipe for disaster, which is coming sooner than most of the NPCs know.
