So Long Mom?

If one reads the US/UK/EU news, Putin had this hair-brained idea of rebuilding the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, and figured the Ukraine was the weakest link and the best place to start. What Putin did not know (as the US/UK/EU reiterate) was that NATO had armed and trained the Ukraine. Russia, meanwhile, had old Soviet weapons from WWII and Czarist weapons from WWI, and nothing else, so the entire Russian army was wiped out by the Ukraine. The Russians managed to invade a few villages, such as Bucha, and kill a bunch of unarmed civilians, but the Russians could not stand up to the Ukrainian military with their ultra-advanced weapons and training from NATO.

Putin lost one army, so he sent a second and a third. Russia have lost more than one million men, while the Ukraine have only lost 31,500. Russia is on the edge of defeat, the Ukraine military have taken the Westernmost part of Russia and will soon be in Moscow and will hand Putin over to the Hague, then Russia will be broken up into 30 or more small, unarmed countries, with all Russian oil and gas forfeited to US oiligarchs as War Reparations.

Great story, and it sells Western news media: print, web, and TV. Not a word of it true, but the point is profit, and the Western news are profiting from this story (and any other story is strictly illegal, unless it's the story that they lied: Russia are much weaker than this story portrays, and victory will be much easier).

Meanwhile, classified US documents read by Tucker Carlson (for which he was fired) say that it's not Russia but the Ukraine that are losing, that the Ukraine have lost close to 1 million men, while Russian losses are only 10% to 20% of Ukrainian losses.

Russia will not stop until NATO agree that the Ukraine will never be a part of NATO, and the faux Ukrainian government, installed by NATO, specifically by Victoria Nuland, is replaced by a government that promise never to join NATO.

It is never mentioned that, in 2021, Putin sent 2 letters, one to the White House and one to NATO headquarters in Europe, that Russia could never allow the Ukraine to be part of NATO. The White House and NATO headquarters both said that Russia had no say in the matter, the Ukraine would join NATO and host the largest NATO military base in the world. After which, Putin invaded.

Putin made one huge mistake. In 2014, Victoria Nuland got rid of a rabidly pro-Russian government whose president kept going back and forth between Russia and Europe, asking which would give him the better deal. So Victoria put in a rabidly anti-Russian government that promised the largest NATO base in the Ukraine, in return, the president got $millions and the Ukraine got nothing, which is just as it should be. The new government announced that all those Russian naval bases in Crimea would be given to NATO, and Russia would be kicked out, leaving Russia with no sea access for their fleet.

Russia invaded Crimea, and the army, with almost all Slavic senior officers, met the Russians and agreed that Crimea would return from the Ukraine to Russia, where it had been until Khrushchev gave it to the Ukraine in 1954. Not a shot was fired.

But, from 2014 until 2022, NATO had the Ukraine remove all Slavic officers from their military and replace them with Aryan officers who wanted the complete destruction of all Slavs and Slavic nations. So when Russia arrived in 2022, it was not like the Crimea, the  Ukrainian Aryans tried their best to destroy the Russian military, who reorganised and began crushing the Ukrainian military.

It is now clear, to observers who are currently in the Ukraine seeing what is happening, that Russia will win.

It is just as clear, to observers in the US/UK/EU, that all reports and news articles say Russia are losing, and losing badly, they have lost three armies, and now all Russian military are very elderly men and very young boys, and most Russians are ready to hand Putin over to the Hague.

The Ukraine say they need long-range weapons that can destroy Moscow and St Petersburg. The UK said, 'OK, we'll give you long-range Storm Shadow missiles.'

Putin said, 'If one Storm Shadow missile hits Russia, every Storm Shadow facility in the UK will be toast.'

The UK withdrew the offer, but the US are now making a similar offer, and Putin has not yet threatened the US facilities, or, if he has, the US suppress that news.

US/UK/EU readers/watchers of the news are still told that the Ukraine are winning and Russia are just days away from total defeat, provided the US/UK/EU support continue. A mere $900 billion have kept the Ukraine close to victory, and more money is essential to completely destroy Russia, 

Everyone is sure the US will easily destroy Russia just as Napoleon did in 1812, and the "1812 Overture" celebrates Napoleon's victory over Russia.

And, of course, the Wehrmacht defeated the USSR. The Wehrmacht fought at Leningrad and Stalingrad, and easily destroyed both cities. Just look at any modern map: there is no trace of Leningrad nor Stalingrad, since both were destroyed by the Wehrmacht, and the Ukrainian/NATO army are rapidly advancing on Moscow (but the US/UK/EU prediction of what will happen when they get there might prove rather less than accurate).                                                                                                                                            

How did we get to Ghaza?

The word 'Zionism', coined by some Jews in central Europe for going to Palestine and forming an army to defend themselves, first appeared at the end of the 19th century. But the basic concept of all Jews going to Palestine started with the British Anglican clergy in 1843 when they said that "Palestine is a land without a people for a people without a land."

The British clergy thought it wrong to allow Jews, deicides all, to live in the UK. While the Bible says the Jews killed Jesus and then said, 'Let his blood be on us and on our children,' making every Jew since the crucifixion a deicide, I was taught in Sunday School that G_d put upon Jews the Mark of Cain, making it prohibited to kill them (the Nazis must have been absent that Sunday). So the best thing the world could do, according to the Anglican clergy, and first written by Rev. Keith, was to send all the Jews to Palestine.

The UK geography said that Arabs are nomads, they don't have homes, they have tents, and follow their goats and camels around from one grassland to another. They wander from Sanaa to Mecca to Jerusalem to Damascus to Baghdad and back to Sanaa, and they could start going around, rather than through Palestine, which would be exclusively for the Jews.

In the 19th century, Britain wanted to take Arabia from the Ottoman Empire and add it to the British Empire. An early British proposal said that Palestine and Transjordan would be exclusively for the Jews, and the rest of Arabia would be for the Arabs. A later proposal said only Palestine would be for the Jews, Transjordan would be for the Arabs. The final Balfour Declaration said that British Jews must go to Palestine and live peacefully with the Palestinians as British colonials.

After WWI, Britain and France took Arabia from the Ottoman Empire, chopped it up into chunks including Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, and other bits as British colonies, Syria and Lebanon as French colonies. With all of Palestine a British colony (or Mandate, as it was technically called), Britain said Palestine was only for Palestinians and British Jews.

In the 19th and early 20th century, most Jews lived in The Pale, where they were subject to frequent pogroms. Some asked if they could go to Palestine to avoid the pogroms, but the British said, 'NO!' So many went to the US, which allowed anyone to immigrate until 1921, and we got the play, "Fiddler on the Roof". But from 1921 until 1944, Jews were only allowed into the US if they had a Nobel Prize or the equivalent.

So, from 1933 until 1945, Jews in Europe had nowhere they could run, and many were killed. The usual number stated is six million murdered in the Holocaust, but serious historians say we really don't know, the Germans did their best to keep the Holocaust secret. So serious historians say the number is almost certainly between four million to six million Jews that were killed in the Holocaust, and those who want to maximise the horror of the Holocaust always use the six million. The Holocaust is almost alone as being legally genocide, because the legal definition of genocide requires written proof that a religious or ethnic group are being killed only because of their religion or ethnic group, and we have hard proof that the Nazis killed Jews just for being Jews. (We also have hard proof that the Nazis killed Slavs just for being Slavs, but that was not genocide, it just went to show that there's a little good in the worst of men.)

After WWII, The Axis were officially defeated, but the UK and France were also defeated, even if no one said anything. Both had to give up their large Empires, including Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. So in 1948, the British colony of Palestine ceased to be a British colony, and all the Jews in Western Europe were shipped to Palestine, whether they wanted to go or not.

The Americans, British, and French gave the European Jews weapons, and they were able to defeat the Palestinians and drive many of them (but not all) out of Palestine. But this is not genocide because there is no written proof that the Jews were killing Palestinians only because they were Palestinians, proof that is required for the killing to be genocide.

It is, likewise, impossible to prove that Israel have been committing genocide in Ghaza since 7 October 2023: they say they are only targeting terrorists, not Palestinians, and we have no written proof that Israel are killing the Palestinians in Ghaza (and the West Bank) only because they are Palestinians. As one expert said, 'Genocide can only be proven in a case like Germany where they were defeated, and the victors sought and found written proof that they were killing people only because of their religion or ethnic group.' Since it is unlikely that Israel, backed by the US/UK/EU, will be defeated, no proof that Israel are killing Palestinians only because they are Palestinians will ever be found.

So the US/UK/EU have made it a serious criminal offence to accuse Israel of genocide. In fact, it is a criminal offence in the US/UK/EU to make any criticism of Israel, and many protesting for the Palestinians have been arrested, expelled from university, and generally punished for saying anything negative about Israel.

One must say that Israel have the right to self defence, and that killing terrorists who are determined to kill every Jew on earth is Israel's legal right, and non-terrorists killed were human shields, so their deaths are all the fault of the terrorists, not Israel.

Israel have their own translations of the Hamas charter and the school textbooks in Ghaza and the West Bank (in Hebrew and English), and the Israeli translations say it is the duty of every Palestinian to kill every Jew. It is, of course, illegal in the US/UK/EU to question those Israeli translations, we must accept them as proven fact.

So clearly Israel have the right to defend themselves, and this is certainly not genocide, it is a very laudable thing the Israelis are doing in Ghaza and the West Bank. And one must say that or be in serious violation of US/UK/EU law.

Western News and More about Telegram and X

All the news—TV, newspapers, whatever—in the US/UK/EU must write that Putin, in a harebrained scheme to recreate the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, launched an unprovoked and totally illegal, under international law, attack on the Ukraine, where he lost three armies with only Soviet weapons from WWII and Czarist weapons from WWI against the most advanced NATO weapons. And Putin is still sending what is left of Russian manhood—young boys and old men—to certain deaths in the Ukraine, who are now annexing a large part of Russia and will soon own Moscow and send Putin to the Hague as a war criminal.

But there is another story that is de rigueur in the US/UK/EU media: the genocide in Israel. Basically, for three horrible days starting on 7 October, 2023, Palestinian Islamic jihadists committed the worst genocide since the American-led Allies liberated the Nazi Concentration Camps at the end of WWII.

The Palestinian terrorists killed about 1,4001,200 innocent Jewish civilians, mostly women and children, raping and murdering the women and burning the babies in ovens while their parents were forced to hear their screams as they burned to death. All the Palestinian textbooks in Israel (translated by the Israelis into American, British, and European languages) say it is the duty of every Palestinian to kill all the Jews in the world. So Israel, acting strictly in self defence, have been forced by the Palestinians to kill the Palestinian terrorists trying to kill Jews, and the terrorists hold Palestinian babies in front of themselves as they are shooting Jews, so Israel have accidentally killed a few babies to save the lives of all those Jews targeted by the jihadi terrorists. This, and only this, is the story about Palestine that may be told in the US/UK/EU. Say the Israelis are committing a genocide on the Palestinians and go to gaol, this is not allowed, it is illegal in the US/UK/EU. Proving that the US/UK/EU are totally anti-genocide, and never allow any nation to do such a thing. And the US/UK/EU are also totally THE TRVTH, making it illegal to publish or broadcast anything else.

But on the evil and now banned Telegram (whose owner is rightly under surveillance in France pending his trial, conviction, and sentence to at least 10 years, and probably a lot longer), it is the Israelis who are committing genocide on the Palestinians, a story that is illegal in the US/UK/EU.

It was in 1843 that the Anglican Rev. Keith wrote that 'Palestine is a land without a people for a people without a land,' meaning that the UK must send every Jew in the UK to Palestine, since good Anglicans could not live with deicides but neither could they kill the Jews, since every Jew bears the Mark of Cain for killing Jesus. (Since it was the Romans who executed Jesus, the Bible has to do some work to make it clear to the reader that the Romans were innocent, it was the Jews who killed Jesus.)

During WWII, the Royal Navy prevented Nazi Germany from sending Jews out from Europe, so there was no other way for the Nazis to get rid of Jews, except by killing them. But all Jews still bear the Mark of Cain, so it is not permitted to kill them, and the UK hanged thousands of Germans for killing Jews after WWII, and recorded the fact (I haven't seen anything like the autobiography of a British hangman who wrote about hanging hundreds of Germans, and he was just one of several hangmen sent to hang Germans after WWII, so I don't know what the French and Soviets did to their Nazi prisoners). The US were at Nuremberg, but not much is written about what the US did to other Germans after WWII, except for those responsible for the V-1 and V-2 attacks on the UK who were made US citizens so they could help the US develop their own V-rockets to defend against the impending Soviet attack on the US, since the Soviets hate Freedom and Democracy so much the US knew they must be planning to attack the US.

It was in the 19th century that the UK wrote Mandates that Arabia must be divided, with Palestine for the Jews and the rest of Arabia for the Arabs, or that Palestine and Transjordan were for the Jews, and the rest of Arabia for the Arabs. But the final 20th century Balfour Declaration said that UK Jews must peacefully share Palestine with the Arabs as a UK colony. The UK Jews, like the Americans of all religions and sects, hated the British Imperialists and fought hard to get rid of them, until 1948 when the US and France forced the UK to agree that the UK Palestinian colony was a Free Country. Actually, two Free Countries until 1967, when Israel declared, with US/UK/French consent, that all of what had once been Palestine was now all Israel (plus parts of what had been Syria and Lebanon).

And the US will defend this new and improved Israel, and will ban and gaol anyone who says anything negative about the totally justified and legal and honourable Israel.

So Telegram had to go, and Twitter must return to its prior state with thousands of US government employees checking every tweet and shadow banning all tweets that are not in full compliance with US government guidelines.

Alphabet® and Meta® both have lots of US government agents checking to make sure that none of the widely viewed items violate US government policy (I have seen some Instagram® posts, originally in English but completely covered with Arabic translations of what the person is saying, that are in heinous violation of Meta®/US government guidelines, but such posts must be seen by so few Westerners that they don't trigger the 'check me' button).

So any platform where many can see the lies that Israelis are committing genocide, when it was the Palestinian terrorists who committed genocide on 7-9 October, 2023, must be blocked and the owner gaoled.

Telegram down, X to go.

Telegram

Pavel Durov set up a website in Russia where Russians could complain about Putin's government. He was ordered to stop, so he left Russia. France immediately offered him French citizenship for doing the Right Thing and setting up a website to complain about Russia, getting threatened by the Russian government, then leaving Russia so he could keep a website to complain about Russia, and Durov accepted since he loves French cuisine. He abandoned his original anti-Russian website and set up Telegram, which was also anti-Russian. He was lauded by the US, UK, France, the EU, etc.

But then Telegram grew and grew, and now has about one billion users (and is probably still growing). And the Russian government and military started using Telegram.

France had a huge part of Africa colonised before WWII, but then the US made France 'liberate' all their colonies, meaning, make those former French colonies into French neo-colonies.

The US has been the world leader in neocolonialism since 1823. The European Imperialists sent their armies to conquer a country, then the top government officials were all Europeans. The Head of State was the European Head of State. The resident Head of State was a European governor or viceroy. All senior government officials were European.

The US had an agent give money and weapons to a small group of local citizens in the country they wanted to neo-colonise, and those local citizens took over the country and formed the government. The US agent made it clear that the new government must do whatever the US ordered them to do or they would be replaced. The local leaders, helped into their positions by the US, got paid very well, but most of the country's resources went to US corporations at minuscule prices, and most of the population were impoverished, while US corporations made huge profits.

After WWII, the US forced France to 'liberate' all their former colonies and make them into neo-colonies. Now locals are the government instead of French citizens, but they must do whatever France tell them to do or be replaced, and French profits are as much or more than they had been when the neo-colonies had been colonies.

Until about a year ago. Russia, probably using Telegram, provided assistance and about half the French African neo-colonies rebelled and ejected all the French troops and 'advisors'. And all their natural resources are now being sold by the countries at world market prices with all the profits going to the former neo-colony. France are furious, and blame Russia and Telegram.

So France has planned since February, 2024, to arrest Pavel Durov; however, Durov is a billionaire who probably had access to French arrest warrants, so the plans were Top Secret. When Durov's plane called a French airport to say Durov was coming to France, the airport called the police, the government issued a warrant for Durov's arrest, and he was arrested as soon as his plane landed.

I like Telegram because of the news. They have national news from the US/UK/EU, but also news that is not US/UK/EU.

The news is basically the same on CNN, BBC, France24, DW, Euronews, and all the US/UK/EU news media: Russia, hoping to rebuild the Soviet Union, launched a totally unprovoked attack on the Ukraine, planning to dominate the country that hated the Soviet Union, and wanted to keep the Russians out. Fortunately, NATO gave the Ukraine modern, advanced weapons, while Russia only have outmoded Soviet weapons from WWII, or maybe Czarist weapons from WWI. So the entire first Russian army was completely destroyed in just a few weeks by the Ukrainian Army, who can't possibly be Nazis since they have a Jewish president, so the Russian propaganda is patently  ridiculous. The Russians, while they were unable to fight the Ukrainians with their advanced weapons, did go into undefended villages and murdered all the civilians, running away as the Ukrainian military approached.

After that, Putin sent a second and third Russian Army, but all were wiped out. Russia have lost more than a million troops, while the Ukraine have only lost 31,000. The Russian economy has been totally destroyed by US sanctions, Putin is barely holding onto his presidency and will soon be handed over to the Hague, while the Ukraine will not only have all the Ukraine back, but a large part of what was formerly Russia.

But on Telegram, I can read a different story, a story where Russia are winning in the Ukraine, where most of the Ukrainians who invaded Russia are dead and the Kursk Oblast will soon be totally liberated.

And France and the US both hate Durov's Telegram and want to change it back to the rabidly anti-Russian Telegram it was when it first started.

I only use Telegram to read news. But Telegram is also an encrypted communications channel with an encryption NATO have been unable to break, but breaking the encryption will be very easy with Durov a French prisoner who can't enjoy his $billions until he fully complies with US and French demands.

France intend to hand Telegram over to the US who will use it to spread pro-US/pro-French/-pro-EU/anti-Russia/anti-PRC/anti-Iran propaganda, and where they will be able to see everything every one of the billion Telegram users are posting.

Durov has been charged with child pornography. Since there is no child pornography on the public channels that carry national news from just about every nation, if there is any, it is only on the encrypted channels with unbreakable encryption (until Durov hands over the key). So there is no way France have actually seen any child pornography on Telegram, but it could be all over all those encrypted channels, so Durov is charged as a child pornographer. French justice doesn't require extraneous, irrelevant things like 'proof'.

So Durov will either break and hand Telegram over to US Intelligence or spend the rest of his life in gaol as a child pornographer.

And those Russian lies about what is happening in Russia and the Ukraine won't be visible, everyone will have to accept the official US/UK/EU version of the news as true, since there won't be any alternatives.

So France have done the world a great service by getting rid of access to any news that isn't US/UK/EU based. 

 (Mike Benz says this will also make it easier for the US DoJ and Intelligence to block any pro-Trump information, since it is vital to the US ruling classes that Trump never again get any position of power, Trump and what the Deep State call his lies must be totally blocked.)

New US President???

Before President Biden was 'persuaded' not to run for re-election, Former President Trump seemed to be almost certain to win the election. Since then, Vice-president Harris has been rising rapidly, and seems to be leading in most of the swing states. President Trump seems likely to do a bit better than in 2020 when he lost Georgia, since he is now leading in Georgia, but he is trailing in most of the other swing states and it looks very likely that he will lose to Harris.

But, ultimately, what are we likely to see?

In the Ukraine, President Trump noted that President Putin sent two letters saying Russia could not allow the Ukraine to join NATO. Putin got two replies: 'Russia have no say in the matter. NATO will incorporate the Ukraine and there is nothing Russia can do about it.' Trump says he would not have responded that way, and war would have been avoided.

Vice-president Harris has said that Russia must be completely and utterly defeated, Ukraine must regain all of the territory they had in 1991, plus the large section of Russia they will be able to annex with NATO weapons. Several Harris advisors have said that Russia must be destroyed completely, Putin must go to the Hague as a war criminal, Russia must broken up into many small, unarmed nations that can never threaten NATO in any way.

But does the US President actually have any say in anything? Twice Trump ordered all US troops out of Syria, and not one troop left.

Most US presidents read the Teleprompter. They are good actors who seem to be giving all the commands, but they read what's on the Teleprompter. Trump did not, and his refusal to read the Teleprompter and order troops into Syria had absolutely no effect on what the US military did, but it did convince the senior Civil Servants to make sure Trump is never reelected, and they did their best in 2020 and will try their best in 2024.

The people running the US will still be running the US, even in the unlikely event that Trump is re-elected. Trump might fight against the war in the Ukraine, but money and weapons will still go to Ukraine.

And, of course, Trump and Harris are 110% behind Israel, so there isn't even a chance of any complaint about the US doing everything it can to help the Israel Occupation Force (IOF) eradicate all the Palestinians in the Ghaza and the settlers eradicate all the Palestinians in the West Bank, no matter who gets elected.

History

The Chancellor of Germany elected in 1933 said he wanted a Judenfrei Europe, but he said during the 1920s that he wanted to deport all the Jews. The UK said that Jews were a problem, but European Jews were a European problem and must not be inflicted on any other continent, so no European Jews would be allowed in British Palestine, and the Royal Navy would prevent any attempt to deport Jews from Europe. 

The US only allowed a very few European Jews into the US: there was a law against Jewish immigration, with exceptions for people such as Nobel Laureates. One (or more) from a small selection of top scientists and museum directors had to write letters recommending that a specific Jew (e.g., Albert Einstein and Harry Kissinger's father) be admitted, but almost all were rejected.

With nowhere to deport Jews, Germany put them in Concentration Camps, but there wasn't enough food in Germany during WWII, so the Jews were starved until they began developing serious infectious diseases and infecting the Concentration Camp guards and other workers, so Germany began gassing and cremating any Jew too weak to do heavy manual labour as the only way to stop the infections.

***

Israel wants either to deport all the Palestinians, or for them to voluntarily leave Israel. Only no one will take Palestinians except Syria, where the law says any Palestinian who can make it to Syria with a valid travel document will be admitted; however, Israel does not want any Palestinians in Syria, so they are not allowed to go from Israel to Syria with a travel document.

If no other nation will take the Palestinians, Israel will kill them all, just as the Germans tried to kill all the Jews.

But Germany was at war with two or three nations with strong militaries and lost the war, so the German government that wanted to kill all the Jews was replaced with a military occupation government that saved as many Jews as they could and executed many Germans for killing Jews.

Israel is now at war with various independent groups, e.g., Hamas in Ghaza, and also with Hizbollah and Ansarallah, none of which can possibly defeat Israel.

Israel assumes that, if they can provoke Iran to strike Israel a second time, preferably a strike that does no more damage than the first Iranian strike on Israel, the US will then do their duty and totally destroy Iran.

Here, of course, is one tiny glitch: it's not clear if the US can destroy Iran, which has a much stronger military than any the US has faced recently. After a US Navy ship destroyed an Iranian passenger plane on 3 July 1988, killing 290 passengers, Iran could do nothing, but they vowed that would never happen again, and have been working for 36 years on anti-Naval weapons.

A huge US fleet is sailing toward Iran to attack if Iran attack Israel. The US have promised they will totally destroy Iran if Iran dare strike Israel. But the US have not faced an enemy like Iran. There is a very good chance that the entire fleet will be sunk, and that the Iranian strike on Israel will severely damage major government and military targets.

Germany had easily defeated Britain and France, once the strongest militaries in the world, so they thought it would be very easy to defeat the Soviet Union and the US. They were wrong.

And Israel and the US might have seriously underestimated Iran. Especially if Iran get a little help from their friends.

A US Fleet Is Sailing toward Iran to Protect Israel

 On 3 July 1988, an Iranian airliner filled with suicidal jihadis tried to destroy a US Naval vessel by flying into the vessel backwards. The photographs show the airliner had its tail pointed at the US Naval vessel, and the crew of the vessel said the airliner was flying directly at them in a suicidal jihadi attack.

Iran must have had advanced airliners designed to fly backwards so they could fly into and destroy US Naval vessels and the crew would be fooled into thinking the airliner was flying away from them. At least that's the official US Navy version of what happened. So the US Navy ship shot the airliner down, killing 290 people, men, women, and children suicidal jihadists. And Iran could do absolutely nothing.

Iran were annoyed and vowed to work on naval defence systems that would enable them so sink any US Naval vessel that attacked Iran. They've had 36 years to work on their naval defence systems.

 

Ghaza genocide?

The International Court of Justice said that what is happening in Ghaza might be genocide, and they are going to study the case further. Israel, backed up by the US, UK, and Western Europe, say what they are doing is 'self defence', allowed by the UN Charter, so they are in full compliance with International Law.

Genocide requires that one be killing members of a religious and ethnic group only because they are members of a religious and ethnic group. This is, pretty much, just the Jews. The Palestinians are a mixture of Christians and Muslims, so not a uniform religious and ethnic group as the Jews all are.

If one relaxes the definition from a religious and ethnic group to a religious or ethnic group, the Palestinians are all Arabs, and killing a group of Arabs only because they are Arabs is genocide. Maybe.

Israel say they are not killing everyone in Ghaza because they are Arabs, they are killing them because they are terrorists, and killing terrorists is allowed under International Law. Of course, many say one cannot be a terrorist if younger than 5 years old, but the Israelis say that's because one does not understand that Ghazan parents teach babies who can barely crawl to carry a knife instead of a baby rattle and be ready to kill every Jew they can crawl to. Also, if a terrorist surrounds himself with human shields, it is the terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of the human shields, not the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF). The charter of Hamas says that it is the duty of everyone in Ghaza to kill every last Jew everywhere in the world, so how can Israel allow such people to live where they can easily repeat the attack of 7 October?

Max Blumenthal writes a lot about what is happening in Israel in The Grayzone. First, the Hamas Charter has not one word about killing Jews, just the desire for a place to live that is not a Concentration Camp. Crops were limited, and Ghazans were often shot when farming or fishing, to limit the food in Ghaza. Hamas wanted to change their way of life, and managed to break out and take hostages, this much is uncontested. Israel released a 47 minute tape, said to be put together from videos on Hamas' phones, showing rapes and murders. Max Blumenthal says those rapes and murders are real, but were not filmed anywhere in Israel, the IOF downloaded the clips from YouTube, all uploaded before the end of 2022, so they could not have been of the 7 October 2023 Hamas raid. Max Blumenthal also says the Israeli claim of 1,200 killed by Hamas is another falsehood: many of the Israelis killed on 7 October were killed by the IOF to prevent their being taken hostage, and this is called the 'Hannibal Rule': never let anyone be taken hostage if there is any way to prevent it, and killing hostages and kidnappers with a Hellfire missile or machine gun fire is an acceptable way to prevent Israelis from being taken hostage.

Rick Sanchez has also been looking at Ghaza. He was particularly horrified by the attack last Sunday where the IOF shelled a place the Palestinians had been told to go since it was safe. The attack set many tents on fire and at least 45 Palestinians were burned to death. As Mr Sanches says, this will harm Jews since some people will have developed an anger and hatred of all Jews for what the IOF are doing, even anti-Zionist Jews. But the US, UK, France, Germany, and some other Western European countries still support Israel, but Ireland, Spain, and Norway say they now recognise the (non-existent) Palestinian State.

Netanyahu says the IOF will stay in Ghaza at least until the end of this year, so another 6 months, maybe longer. Unless the famine kills off all the Ghazans in less than 6 months, or some other country agrees to take them.

I must note that the Israeli version, that they have never committed genocide, is strongly supported by Fox News and those who view Fox News uncritically. Other US news channels say they just don't know. No US news channel say Israel is definitely guilty of genocide.
