Israel's Transition to Tyranny
The World at large watches as Israel’s tyrannical government continues its genocidal project in Gaza. Onlookers are either justifiably horrified, vocally admiring or perhaps casually dis-interested in this tragedy as nothing meaningful is done to halt the vengeful bloodshed of innocents by the Israeli Defense Force. Few in Western communities appreciate the historic developments that enabled the creation of modern Israel and to this end Western mainstream media has submitted to the Zionist lobby groups that shape the false narrative of the reality that is currently on display in Gaza. (one could argue that a similar paradox exists for the turmoil in Ukraine). Any public criticism of Israel’s behaviour instantly draws accusations of “anti-semitism”, the favoured sympathy card that Zionists falsely equate with images of another undeniable tragedy - The Holocaust. No credence is offered for those who are genuinely sympathetic with the trials and tribulations historically metered out to communities of the Jewish faith. There is a widespread mistaken belief that anti-Israeli comments automatically equate to anti-Zionism and therefor anti-semitism. This is a blatant propaganda “trick” that is constantly broadcast to a seemingly passive, if not dis-interested, public and denies the justice that democracy is designed to provide.
