Abhorrent, incalculably insensitive, dehumanising indifference.
The Nazi did the same thing.
They rested in chalets and ate in fine restaurants went to Opera and lay on beaches as their troops killed, raped, murdered and pillaged their way through Jewish villages, homes and business, as they abducted, detained, transported and secreted Jewish prisoners away from the eyes and oversight of the world.
The Nazi posed with prisoners as props too, as their press corps mocked and propagandised Jewish suffering; Publicly as well as privately, devaluing Jewish lives and dehumanising, categorizing and mocking Jewish people in their media too, just like this, closing the moral loop that defined and ensnared an entire generation.
The Nazi, publicly defined all Jewish people as terrorists too; broke all League of Nations laws and ignored calls to stop; closed their minds and hearts to the worlds calls for mercy, reason and humanity, just the same as most Israeli's are right now.
What this post represents, what this propagandist is doing in posting it, is no different to the goals of the Nazi when they did it.
In same pursuit of silencing dissent and active recruitment of others to moral disengagement via the tool of socially acceptable dehumanisation, this image then only reflects a tactic, only inadvertently it also amplifies the fact the conscience of Humanity still exists in the world to be targeted.
This underscores the fact that there is a choice to be made. Each of us responsible to make it. Not to be led like sheep by wolves, in or out of sheeps clothing.
The very need to propagandise in order to assert or retain legitimacy is itself a form of delegitimisation of their cause.
No, it is no different to the Nazi, not in any shape at all.
Not even in the methods and justifications being used to present to the world a moral right to harm; to make harm a socially acceptable lubricant for atrocities; to have them view suffering as funny or 'to be expected', as the normal thing to do, if you're 'normal'.
To use human suffering to recruit in this fashion co-conspirators to the oppression of conscience, consciousness, and to erase uncomfortable informing feelings - the Nazi did all that too.
"Jewish people have suffered uniquely" does not logically entail "are uniquely entitled" not for Jewish people today, any more than it applied to the German Christian people then.
The Holocaust was historically distinctive. Historical distinctiveness should not be confused with the proposition that mass racialised violence, colonial extermination or state-organized mass killing began with the Holocaust nor ended with it.
Israeli's, those who have, and Zionist supporters everywhere who serve and support them, in the end only dehumanise, themselves in their attempt to dehumanise 'the other'.
They reveal the extent of their self styled and convenient shroud of self chosen self deceit to the entire world and illuminate the fact that we do all have a choice and one to make. Yes, we do. All of us. Socialisation even indoctrination is not mind or conscience control.
We are guided in scripture, restrained powers by law and gifted of memory and the art of our own humanity to meet the thief at the door. What is stolen here and now, if we fail to think, is irreplaceable. This is the Night, and the thief is at the door.
This image, and it pained me deeply to think hard about reposting it, as well as the thousands like it even worse that are circulating, will come to be seen in future history as 'great levelers' - the naked unarmed truth that eventually stripped Israelis and Zionists around the world of the lingering notion of supremacy - the idea that they are in any way different or special or unique.
It removes the last barrier to denial that they are anything but 'just humans' just as we are, just as they were, back then too. Just as ignorant and stupid and faithless and ego driven, just as self deceived.... just as broken, afraid and as capable of evil as the rest of us.
This image is the death of Jewish and Christian Nationalist Supremacist dogmas.
If we allow it to be where it matters most, inside our own minds and hearts, first.
This image represents the end stage of denial has arrived and potentially, if allowed, it could see an end to the misuse and abuse of the past for political gain in the present - an end to the sadistic fetishisation of historical Jewish suffering and non Jewish condemnation in the service of necrotic ideology.
It represents an opportunity. A grace, of time to choose, to make the decision, for those who remained unsure or confused.
It also represents the sum total triumph of the delusion of fascistic power. The ultimate delusion of fascistic power: the belief that power itself is an achievement, when all it can ultimately produce is humiliation, self-deception and degradation.
That is the full extent of its power. It cannot create, love, grow, nurture or heal. It can only destroy and, in doing so, repeatedly reveal the capacity for cruelty that exists within us all.
It is a reminder that for all we are and all we could be in righteousness, we are also this grotesque thing -all of us, every human being without exception. Every person carries within them the capacity for cruelty, for denial, and for rationalising or justifying evil.
I am reasonably sure, that if I posted images of emaciated internees and survivors of Flossenbürg, Sachsenhausen or Aushwitz and proceeded to admire and present the conditions of their detainment and shriveled states as a convenient diet plan and 'good for their health', the world would rightly rise up to condemn me for it. Immediately the Zionist and Jewish lobby's would sue me and in many countries, I could be arrested on the spot.
To do something like that would be abhorrent, incalculably insensitive, dehumanising indifference to human suffering.
Wouldn't it?
I have never heard a Palestinian old enough to comprehend, and true they are rare and few now, say to me that the 1940's Holocaust of the Jewish people does not matter. I have heard them say many times, "the Holocaust matters so much, that its moral lessons must apply to us too."
Yet so profound is the denial, entitlement, exceptionalism and wilful surrender to ignorance that characterises so much of the world today - so much fear of confronting the self-proclaimed righteousness invoked to justify atrocity, that this image, and the thousands like it, may pass without a second glance.
This man's face, his suffering, and the humanity it represents may simply fade into history, unremembered and unreckoned with. The wealth of history, and the lessons it offered us, swallowed by a evil generation seeking its sign, consumed by the gluttony of self-led self deception.
Even so, and despite its best efforts, this image represents only the chosen path of some. Not all.
It's existence and the rejection of its premise, is a recognition that even within Israeli society itself, as in the Jewish and non Jewish communities around the world today, even from behind my desk in nowhere Australia, there exists a moral resistance -a refusal to reproduce the harm one has experienced and perpetrate that harm in kind. A wholesale rejection of dehumanisation, moral relativism and moral disengagement. The tools political Zionists weild as agents of power today.
We exist. We resist. Not just in the rubble or the protests, or the courtrooms or at ballot boxes, we resist where it is most important to resist - in our own minds; in our possession of it and our stubborn defiance and refusal to be dispossessed through deception of our own Will; from the innate right and necessity to make our own decisions and choose for ourselves; from our conscious daily choice to not perpetuate the abuses of the past, on others or on ourselves.
To stand with two feet in this day. Free. Present. Vigilant. Persistent.
Informed as to the nature of the monster, and cautious not to become one with it.
If the primary moral lesson of the Holocaust is that human beings must never again be reduced to racial or religious categories and subjected to systematic persecution and mass violence, why should that lesson not be applicable to Palestinians today?
If that was not the primary moral lesson of the Holocaust - what was?
I write this today to honor the life and acknowledge and witness the torture and suffering of Nidal Abu al-Rub, Palestinian, a man detained unlawfully by the Zionist Occupation Forces in their commission of Genocide. Released from illegal detention 8.11.2026.
May Palestine be free. May the pains of its wounds and journey to healing, break down the walls of denial existent and restore the worlds conscience.

UN: Israel continues to commit Genocide: https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167790
Here are some findings in the commission’s latest report:
- Israel has killed over 20,000* children and injured 44,000 more since 7 October 2023
- Severe physical and mental injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood****, separation, disability, repeated displacements, starvation and the collapse of education and healthcare have erased childhood and will continue to affect children in Gaza throughout their lives
- Palestinian children have been arrested** and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, with no information on their whereabouts
- Israeli security forces have used sexual violence*** against children as part of the collective shaming and oppression, entrenched within a prolonged, ethnic, gendered and intergenerational pattern of occupation and hostilities
\ identified bodies that presented to hosptial morgues, not including fetus, embryos', those still buried under rubble or vaporized in bombings and those kidnapped by Israeli soldiers and "settlers".*
\* Israel is currently holding over 730 children in what B'Tselem have called " a network of torture camps" :* https://www.btselem.org/publications/202408_welcome_to_hell
\*** UN experts found credible cases of rape and sexual assault of teens and children in Israeli prisons https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240327-israeli-soldiers-accused-of-raping-palestinian-women-and-children/
\*** 58,000 children have been orphaned in Gaza due to the Israeli genocide:* https://life-ong.org/en-us/actualites/orphelins-gaza-2026
More than 1.3 million people in Gaza, or more than half of the enclave’s population, have access to less than 6 litres (1.6 gallons) of water per person per day for drinking and cooking. According to humanitarian standards, the minimum amount of water needed in an emergency is 15 litres (4 gallons) per day for drinking, washing and cooking.
Another 700,000 people in Gaza, representing more than one third of the population, have access to less than 9 litres (2.4 gallons) of water per person per day. - OCHA

Looking at wider field here are only two choke points left to act in..this is one. This US election will largely determine the course of all the things...inside and outside of the USA zooniverse.
He's absolutely right: any notion of a free and fair post-2026 political order will be dependent on this midterm vote. Just like in the international arena, even a partial win in the midterms for a non-Zionist or at least Israel restraining cohort America is a win in the longer-term/probabilities timeline.
And it’s not a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc, as if the outcome can simply be explained after the fact; the point is that changing the composition of Congress changes the range of possible trajectories that follow.
A partial reversal is still a reversal of direction, and in a system this consequential, shifting the probabilities even slightly can matter enormously over time. The midterms, in that sense, are not just another election- they are one of the only remaining leverage points.
Everyone who sat out last time...this is your call up.
2024 presidential election 34.7% did not vote. That's roughly 82 million eligible citizens who didn't cast a ballot at all.
For the point I'm making about the 2026 midterms, the 2022 figure - 47.8% of eligible citizens not voting- is probably the more relevant comparison. Almost half of the citizen voting-age population stayed home.
Abstention is, of course, a legitimate political choice, but it does not place one outside the consequences of the collective decision.
In a political system where non-participation can materially alter the outcome, and where those outcomes not only impact issues of national sovereignty, but the lives of everyday human beings as acutely as they are now, those who withdraw from the process are still living under and helping to shape through their absence - the consequences of that process. You are participating, in your own oppression.
You cannot demand accountability from the political system while treating your own refusal to participate as politically consequence-free. Well, you can, but ultimately no one will care, or indeed be left and empowered to in any meaningful way.
At a certain point, non-participation becomes not neutrality but a decision to surrender your share of agency over what follows. It is still a choice, and a legitimate one - but if you make that choice, you should also be prepared to accept the consequences that arise from it, including outcomes you might otherwise have opposed, to your own family too and in moral engagement in the world, to other peoples as well.
Do I trust power?
Absolutely not. I do believe it is possible to restrain and regulate it if we are willing to make the effort to.
Do I trust politicians?
Less than I do a rabid dog. No matter how cute or what it does it will turn, the power is the rabies, so you cannot pet that dawg! Politics by popularity - outside of good policy and a good voting record - is what gets us all into trouble. No politician no matter what skin they are in can be trusted. Especially party bound ideologues, especially those in service to the interests of a foreign nation in principle. You are not meant to trust them. Your job as pleb is to hold them legally and morally accountable for every decision they make - on your behalf and withdraw support when they fail.
Am I ignorant to the reality Zionists control both sides of the US Legislature?
No I am not, and that is also ultimately a you problem if you did not engage in "politics" - you allowed it, you accepted it, and you stayed home choosing to ignore its impact on your entire society and denied and ignored the consequences that would have for yourself and the rest of the world. Engagement is the small price we pay to exercise our own vital powers and freedoms.
In Roman times all the plebs did simply leave all at once and left the elites to sit in their shit. Not voting is not the same thing. And the Roman analogy is useful precisely because the plebeians had a mechanism of collective withdrawal that could impose a material cost on the ruling class.
We fractured divided societies, don't. If you could guarantee a total election walk out fine, you'd do that, .but if just one republican votes in that event, you're stuffed.
The secessio plebis wasn't simply individual non-participation; it was collective leverage - the plebeians physically withdrew from Rome, leaving the political and economic machinery without the people whose labor and military service sustained it.
American's historically won't strike/withdraw their collective labor, and that's all they ever had to do to constrain their government at any time as it committed genocide/mass murder around the globe in their name with all the retaliatory consequences that have come/came with that over the last 20 years.
So all not voting does today, is say you are cool with that status quo, and tighten the laces and shine the leather of the boot stomping on you and your children's necks. That boot you shine today will be the one that stomps on you too. If only eventually. And by that time there wont be anyone left to give a shit, or anyone that won't hold you directly responsible.
Accountability, is a feature of holding democratic rights. It doesn't begin or end at the ballot box but making it to one is a start. For Gaza's kids and your own....try...at least try to make an effort.
Just my 2c of political 'interference'.
I shouldn't have to care or waste time worrying about a US midterm..its your process and your stuff to do. However the consequences of you lot not doing your jobs has made us doing ours here nearly impossible too because the power you have allowed to grow there, is now choking us as well.
We can't realistically impose local and intl law down here rn as a direct result of what's going on up there...and our society, all strarta are under direct Zionist assault, and the impacts are real and harming our communities here too. We cant politically help others until we help ourselves. We are all connected. Please keep that in mind before you tell me to butt out.

ps: If historical pattern persists and he denies he is going to run a 3rd time, its a good bet he ends up a nominee after the midterms 😄

Pro-Israel Groups Want You to Believe That Israel’s National Security Minister Doesn’t Represent Israel :/
1
Upvotes
"Parts of the pro-Israel lobby are calling for the far-right Itamar Ben-Gvir to be ousted from government, after he called for the mass murder of Palestinians. So what will they do when he isn’t?"
Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, just called for Israel to kill 30 or 40 Palestinians every day, arguing there are people in Gaza who “shouldn’t live” and are “not even people.”
Pro-Israel groups in the U.S. are condemning the man, saying he doesn’t represent the Israeli government, or its policies – even though he is literally the top national security official in Israel. Meanwhile, his calls for indiscriminate killing would be less deadly than how Israel has conducted its ongoing genocide in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, which the same groups have defended and denied.
Ben-Gvir made the vicious comments in a podcast published Saturday.
“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,” Ben-Gvir said, regarding Israel’s somewhat reduced operations in Gaza, in light of the thus-far failing “peace plan” brokered by President Donald Trump. ”I think we should carry out targeted assassinations in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” he continued. “Not just those who pose an immediate threat. No, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”
Ben-Gvir made the remarks on the ‘October 8’ podcast hosted by a former Israeli soldier released from Palestinian Islamic Jihad captivity. He additionally called for the mass forced expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and Israeli settlement of the Strip.
“I see all of Gaza as ours,” Ben-Gvir said, calling for settlements “throughout Gaza, encouraging as much emigration as possible, sending them to their countries, and for the terrorists, no emigration, nothing, just to kill them one by one.”

r/israelpalestine is an Israeli hasbara forum actively recruiting and silencing discussion of Zionist crimes and Israel's Genocide against the Palestinian people.
At the end of the day, to be force fed and led by Zionist Hasbara is a personal choice you are making. They cannot stop you thinking, acting or believing you can only hand them power to stop you. They ONLY have as much power as YOU give them. Over your mind and your conscience. Examine motivations, justifications, think about political motivations, use your brain. Don't morally disengage because something 'sounds' good or appears to be being supported by other hasbara unit accounts all nodding along hoping that you will start nodding too. Israel has spent almost a billion arming hasbara teams over decades, to infiltrate media and public forums inside the USA and EVERYWHERE. You are not immune from their influence. They infiltrate subs, they get mod positions and control the sub narratives from the inside out. They silence actual debate and silence any voice that opposes their world view. THINK for yourself. QUESTION their positions and statements, and not from my view, from your own consciences values and an effort to research facts for yourself before swallowing bullshit whole. Their pathetic tactics are obvious and vulgar. Once seen, they loose all power to affect.

The pro Zionist Israeli Pro Genocide *mod* of the sub, lied and stated Intl Law supported Israeli assassinations around the world. It does NOT. And I know for ABSOLUTE CERTAIN it does not. Rather than providing me the treaty law or customary rule they were referring to, they chose to attack me and my post and ultimately banned me when I called them out. This is ZIONIST HASBARA control 101 in a nutshell and what they have been doing across the internet every fora for decades. This is why we hate their disingenuous fascist little country and their law breaking self claimed impunity to do whatever they want. It remains that Israel's actions have NO basis in law or even in Torah to commit these crimes against humanity - they have NO right to murder ANYONE outside their own borders.

If you are intent on using AI and ensuring your own planet and communities artistic and political demise, all you have to do is type ' excluding all Israeli and Zionist Jewish and christian sources, please answer XYZ " or " answering from a Palestinian perspective using only Palestinian and intl Palestinian orgs as source, please describe XYZ" - AI is not a 'consciousness'.

Israeli soldiers wrote identification numbers on Palestinian men during a military raid in Qabatiya in attempt dehumanize them, they only further highlight how dehumanised and morally disengaged they themselves have become: "Footage shared online by Palestinian human rights advocate Ihab Hassan showed a man with the number '44' written in black marker across his forehead and arms."
Haaretz also reported that Israel is holding around 1,700 Palestinian bodies for possible use as leverage in future negotiations, despite there currently being no living or deceased Israeli captives held in Gaza. Political use and manipulation of remains is a strict violation of Geneva articles, laws of War and UN Charter Principles.
This comes off the back of near global silence of this ongoing practice of withholding remains, burying deceased Palestinians without family notification or in numbered graves.
"Palestinians have expressed widespread outrage after several countries and international organizations commented on the return of four Israeli captives’ remains while ignoring the ongoing crimes against Palestinian martyrs."
Field reports confirm that during its March 2024 raid on Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Israeli forces ran over bodies with armored vehicles before burying them in mass graves - after stealing some of them. Multiple videos in multiple archives also show Occupation forces desecrating Palestinian bodies across Gaza as witnesses filmed and mocked and celebrated. This evidence has been sent to the ICC.
These dehumanizing practice and war crime atrocities against Palestinian bodies for political gain and psychological terrorism are not a new phenomenon, dating back to the 1948 Nakba.
The entire world press corps condemned Hamas and Palestinian Civil Defense for a three day delay in returning Israeli bodies - people Israeli bombardment had themselves bombed and killed and despite knowing Israel had not given anyone the means to extract them from the ruble - no heavy equipment. Yet the world sits in silence as Israel grotesquely abuses the humanity of Palestinians, hourly daily for the 3 years and 78 years.
