Genocide in Ghaza???

When I was a boy, they taught us that humans were divided into 5 races: in alphabetical order, Black, Brown, Red, White, and Yellow. Science now rejects this: one can find two tribes in Africa where the differences between typical members of each tribe are greater than the differences between members of the tribes and Europeans.

 But then, in the first half of the 20^th century, the Nazis said that Europeans are divided into three distinct races: Aryan, Slav, and Jew. As the old story went, a young SS member, sent to separate the Polish into races, asked, ‘How can you tell? They all look the same, they all speak multiple languages, most can understand German.’ The old SS officer said, ‘Watch me.’ They went into a shop, and the old SS officer asked, ‘Do you have any left-handed teapots?’

 The first shop owner said, ‘There is no such thing as a left-handed teapot.’ The older SS officer said, ‘He’s a Slav. If he’ll work as a slave, we’ll let him live; if not, we’ll kill him.’

 They went into a second shop. Again, the older SS officer asked the same question. The shop owner said, ‘Dummkopf. Take any right-handed teapot, turn it 180°, and you have a lefty-handed teapot.’

 ‘He’s an Aryan. He keeps his shop and we’ll also give him the Slav’s shop.’

 They went into a third shop and the older SS officer asked the same question. The shop owner said, ‘Yes, I have one, but it is very rare, so it will cost you ten times as much as a right-handed teapot.’

 ‘He’s a Jew. Send him to the death camp,’ said the senior SS officer.

 The story tells us nothing about Aryans, Slavs, or Jews, and it does not even agree with the book, My Struggle, by the man elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933.

 The book My Struggle says that the Aryans must kill all the Slavs for lebensraum and make Europe Judenfrei by deporting all the Jews. Only the US and UK said that Jews were a big problem, but European Jews were Europe’s problem, they would not allow Europe to inflict their Jewish problem on any other place, so the Nazis, unable to deport the Jews, came up with their ‘Final Solution’ in 1940.

Then, after the Nazis lost, the world realised that the Nazis had killed many Jews (the exact number is not known, but the number 6 million is used as the best estimate we have). So the US insisted on sending most of the surviving Jews in Western Europe to Palestine for reasons that escape us. The British Anglican clergy wanted all Jews removed from Britain, and suggested Palestine as a good place to send them all, since Jesus cannot return until every Jew is in Palestine. But the British wanted Palestine as a British colony, not an option after WWII when the US ended up as the neo-Imperialist ruler of the neo-Colony Western Europe. Instead, Israel would be a US neo-Colony, and all the Jews from Western Europe would be shipped to Palestine. Having no choice, the Jews agreed to be shipped to Palestine and became violent Zionists, determined to take over all of Palestine and evict most of the Palestinians (with full American/Western European support and encouragement).

 As depicted in the 1958 Leon Uris novel Exodus, the Jews came to Palestine in peace but were attacked by the Arabs who were all violent anti-Semites. The novel became a famous film in 1960 starring Paul Newman. The novel has little in common with the actual history, where the Jews evicted almost one million Palestinians from Palestine, something the Palestinians call the Nakba. The Jews and Arabs fought, and, in 1948, the UN divided Palestine into Israel, which was all the land then held by the Jews, and the Arabs were given the West Bank, officially considered part of Jordan, and the Ghaza, officially considered part of Egypt. Then, in 1967, the Jews overran the West Bank, the Ghaza, and also took parts of what had been Lebanon and Syria. The Jews were strongly supported by the US and, to a lesser extent, by Western Europe, who kept them well-armed and easily able to defeat the Arabs. The Jews had total air superiority, and with that, kept total battlefield control.

 The concept of Zionism (but not the name) was stated by the Anglican clergyman Rev. Keith in the early 19th century. He said the UK must not host any of the Jewish deicides, but must send all of them to Palestine, which he said was 'A land without a people for a people without a land.' Seeing that the British wanted them all out of Britain (as must about every country wanted to be rid of Jews) Theodor Herzl, a Jew, said it would be best if all went to Palestine, and coined the word 'Zionism' for the idea that all Jews must go to Palestine. The Great and the Powerful British and Americans said this was how it must be, and what could Jews do but agree and go along with a plan they resisted at their peril, since the UK might decide to start with pogroms if they could not send the Jews to Palestine?

Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia all tried to regain Palestine for the Palestinians, but could not stand up to Israel backed by the US and Western Europe. The USSR tried to support the Arabs, and the Arabs had a brief success in 1973 when USSR air defence systems allowed Egypt to shoot down the Israeli Air Force and win one battle, but the Israelis managed to slip past the Egyptian guards, destroy the Soviet Air Defence system completely, regain total air dominance and quickly defeat the Arabs. Kissinger was in charge of the US in 1973 because of the Watergate Crisis, and put the US on DEFCON 1, ready to nuke the USSR if they interfered with Israel’s victory over the Arabs, after which the USSR withdrew all support for the Arabs and Israel regained total control. Egypt and Jordan surrendered and made peace with Israel, recognising Israel and establishing diplomatic relations.

 Israel was in close contact with South Africa during the apartheid years, and is not an apartheid state. The word apartheid is a South African word, and only ethnic Europeans, which included Jews from Europe, could be citizens. One drop of African or Asian blood excluded one from being a South African citizen during the apartheid years. Israel has 2.5 million goyim citizens. Two million Palestinians (out of a total of about 7 million) have Israeli citizenship. The other 5 million goyim in Israel are illegal aliens, with no rights of any kind. So not like South African apartheid, since a few goyim have rights, while no non-Europeans had any rights in Apartheid South Africa.

Israel have said they will reduce the number of Philistines in Ghaza to less than 200,000 from an initial population of 2.3 million. Some call this genocide, some do not.

Genocide is killing or displacing an ethnic or religious group only for their ethnicity or religion. So, for example, the Mafia are all Italian, since one must be a member of an Italian family to be in the Mafia, but the US do not go after the Mafia because they are Italian, but because they engage in crime, so this is not genocide.

Israel say that all the Philistines in Ghaza are terrorists, so they are being killed or evicted not because of their ethnicity, but because they are terrorists, so this is not genocide. Some say that one cannot call a small child a terrorist, so the Israelis are killing some Philistines because of their ethnicity, not for any crime. Israel say that most Philistines above the age of 5 years or so are trained to engage in terrorist acts, and the deaths of those younger than 5 are collateral damage. The US had up to 90% collateral damage in Iraq, killing ten times as many non-combatants as combatants, while Israel has about 10% collateral damage, the lowest collateral damage of any combatant, only one dead civilian for every 10 dead terrorists, hence not genocide. But not everyone comes up with the same ratio of collateral damage in Ghaza as the Israelis.

The Israeli version is that the only genocide in the Ghaza was on 7 October, when Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,000 Israelis, raping and murdering many women and killing many babies. I have heard, on Afshin Rattansi’s “Going Underground”, Alan Dershowitz, Emeritus Professor at Harvard Law School and author of War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas Barbarism say he has seen videotapes, made by Hamas, showing their rapes and murders of women and babies on 7 October. Max Blumenthal of the Grayzone says careful study shows that those videotapes of ‘rapes’ and ‘murders’ by Hamas are provably fakes, one of the graphic videos of rape and murder can be traced to a film posted on the Internet in 2022, which conclusively debunks the veracity of those films presented as proof of Hamas terrorists raping Israeli women on 7 October 2023. Prof Dershowitz says that Blumenthal (who considers himself a Jew) is a rabid anti-Semite and a liar, and the veracity of those films has been verified. (The weight of the evidence is with Blumenthal, but that will never convince those who are sure the films show real rapes and murders of Israeli women on 7 October 2023.) As Blumenthal says, Israel studied the best ways to demonise the Hamas fighters, discovered that rape raised the most outrage, and proceeded to scour the Internet for graphic videos of real rapes and murders, none of which actually took place in Israel.

At this point, it looks like Israel will reduce the population of Palestinians in the Ghaza to less than 200,000 by starvation. The US fully supports the Israeli blockade of all food for the Ghaza Palestinians. The US did drop some food on the Palestinians, and the falling food packages killed some Palestinians.

Israel made life very difficult for the Palestinians in Ghaza before 7 October, food was limited, power was limited, building materials were limited, so not much prospects for those Palestinians locked in the Ghaza. Did this justify insurrection? Hamas and their supporters say ‘Yes!’ The Israeli and American governments and their supporters in Western Europe say, ‘No!’

Will the world let Israel and the US starve most of the Palestinians in Ghaza to death, or will some country agree to take some of the Palestinians and let them live, and if so, under what conditions?

I know a Jordanian who says there is no hunger in Ghaza, those photographs of starving children are not from Ghaza, Israel is allowing more than enough food into Ghaza, and he has verified that Jordan is sending more than 2,000 calories per Ghazan per day, so there is no hunger, no starvation. But I have no idea where he gets such information that is contradicted by the photographs everyone can see of starving children who are obviously Palestinians in Ghaza. I know a Moroccan who says that Jordan has not provided more than a minuscule few calories to Ghaza, it was Morocco that sent more than enough food to feed all the Ghazans. Most observers in Israel and Egypt say almost all that food donated for the Palestinians is still in Israel and Egypt, Israel will not let more than about one meal per week per resident of Ghaza, so we are starting to see many deaths, starting with the children.

Net: there is no agreement at all about Ghaza. Some, including some I know personally, say the Israelis are treating the Ghazans well, they are all getting plenty to eat, none except terrorists are being killed. Most agree that Israel, with full US/Western European/Arab support, have killed more than 30,000 Ghazans by bombing and shooting, mostly non-combatant women and children, and are starving almost everyone in Ghaza, with a goal of fewer than 200,000 Ghazans in Israel out of a population of 2.3 million, either by death or deportation if any other country will accept them (doesn’t matter which to the Israelis/Americans/Western Europeans).

In any case, death and/or deportation of any Palestinians in Ghaza only because they are Palestinians is genocide, by the definition of genocide. The Israelis claim the extermination and/or deportation is not because they are Palestinians but is only because they are all, including small Ghazan children, terrorists, in which case it is not genocide.

But the Americans, Arabs, and Western Europeans do not want to be seen as complicit in the eradication of all Ghazans by starvation so they pretend they are getting plenty of food into the Ghaza, more than 2,000 calories per person per day, a pretension that is rather obviously false.

But as long as one classifies all Palestinian children, including newborns, as terrorists, this is not genocide.

However, if one says that small children cannot be considered terrorists, then they are being killed only because they are Palestinians, and that meets the definition of genocide.

Israeli Jews are Slaves of Zionism

 The word Zionism was coined by Theodor Herzl, a Jew, in 1897. But the concept (without a word to describe it) had been firmly documented since 1843 when Rev. Keith, an Anglican clergyman, proposed sending all the British Jews to Palestine, 'A land without a people for a people without a land,' or maybe 'A country without a people for a people without a country.' People heard him say it, and it got written down, but his exact version remains a bit of a mystery.

Many Christian believe that Jews, deicides all, must not be allowed to live with Christians, and Zionist Christians, who have enough votes to influence elections in many predominantly Christian countries, believe that Jesus cannot return until all the Jews are in Palestine. So the British Anglican clergy were, for the most part, convinced that all British Jews must be sent to Palestine, and, after the defeat of the Ottomans, the British and French divided the Ottoman Empire, splitting all the Ottoman Vilayets into many small pieces, where parts of predominantly Sunni, Shi'a , and Kurdish regions were reformed into French and British colonies with a mixture of Sunni, Shi'a, and Kurds who disliked each other and could not agree on much of anything, making it easier for the British and French to control their new colonies.

But Palestine was 92% Palestinians, so Britain sent enough Jews to make it about 40% Jewish, with animosity between Jews and Palestinians stoked so they would not be able to challenge British Imperial Rule (but then the Jews blew up the King David Hotel when it was full of British Imperial officers).

Still, the British mostly had British Palestine under British Imperial Rule, and refused to accept Jews from other European countries. The British figured Jews were a problem, but European Jews were a European problem and Europe must be prevented from inflicting their problems on any other part of the planet.

Then came WWII, and the US decided to ship all the Jews in Western Europe to Palestine.

The official US story is based on the 1958 book of Exodus by Leon Uris (made into a movie in 1960), where the Jews were forced from Europe to Palestine, they came in peace, unarmed, only to be attacked by the Arabs who wanted to finish what the Nazis started, but the Jews were miraculously saved.

In fact, the Jews were heavily armed and expelled more than 700,000 Palestinians from Palestine. Part of the blame is laid on the Arab heads of state who suggested it would be better for the Palestinians to leave Palestine where a major war would drive the Jews out, after which they could safely return, only those 700,000 Palestinians who left until the Arab armies could retake Palestine remain in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan to this day. And they call their expulsion from Palestine their Nakba or catastrophe. As do most of the Palestinians who remained in Israel, where they have few rights and are under constant threat of expulsion.

The situation is complicated since, of the 7 million or so Palestinians in Israel, Israel gave 2 million passports and said they are welcome to remain in Israel, own land, vote in elections, and have full rights.

But the other 5 million Palestinians who were in Palestine before the Jews were sent from the UK and Europe are illegal aliens with no rights. Those in Ghaza were limited in what they could do, how much food they could grow or fish, and had barely enough to eat, and housing lacking many amenities. They were walled in with a wired wall that would indicate any attempt to break out or bring in food or weapons or tools or just about anything. Three battalions patrolled that wall to ensure nothing got in or out.

And then, in October 2023, the battalions were ordered to go to the West Bank, the monitors of the detection devices looking for breaches of the wall were unstaffed, and Hamas managed to blow up a section of the wall. As they explored the area near the wall, Hamas found a fortress full of sleeping Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) soldiers with no guards and the gates unlocked, so Hamas were able to kill some of the soldiers and try to kidnap the rest.

Hamas attempted to kidnap a large number of Israelis, but Israel have a policy of killing all potential hostages, and the IOF managed to kill hundreds of Israelis who might have been taken hostage. A team of propagandists were sent to study the remains of the attack by Hamas and counterattack by the IOF, and they reported that Hamas had raped and murdered women and babies, but without a shred of proof or evidence. Still, their claim remains Gospel to all the Western media, and is an essential part of the Western narrative.

That Western narrative says the only genocide was on 7 October: every Philistine in Ghaza is determined to exterminate every last Jew on Earth, and Israel must try to protect the Jews from annihilation, and the only way to achieve that is by removing all the Philistines from Ghaza.

Israel propose that Hamas surrender and release all hostages, after which some Philistines will be incarcerated, some executed, and the rest deported. The Philistines have shown no inclination to accept this, which the Western narrative says is the only possible solution, so stopping all food from going to Ghaza, destroying all crops and water facilities is essential if peace is to be brought back to Ghaza.

So far, Israel seems to have killed about 30,000 Palestinians, but deaths from thirst and starvation are just now starting, and, if Hamas do not surrender and no other country accept the Philistines, the Israeli and American governments hope this will eliminate the Philistine problem from Ghaza once and for all: no ceasefire, no food allowed into Ghaza (a few food drops into the ocean, where starving Philitines might drown trying to get it, and the food that lands on land protected by IOF machine gun fire killing all those who try to get any of it).

And, according to the Western narrative, this is altogether fitting and proper, the only possible way to deal with the Philistines in Ghaza.

Of course, the US and Israel are not the entire world, and the impact of this policy on the rest of the world remains to be seen, and how it will affect the Israeli economy and the viability of Israel as a state.

So Zionism has enslaved the Jews, and it is looking like the end will not be very good for the Jews.

In the news

 I remember reading back in 2022 that the Ukrainians, with ultra-advanced NATO weapons, were wiping out the Russians who only had 'outmoded and inept' weapons. I keep reading the same thing: NATO weapons have twice the range of Russian weapons and much greater accuracy, so the Ukraine have killed off more than 90% of the Russian invasion force and destroyed more than 80% of Russian armour with minimal losses. Victory is near, or, as President Brandon says, 'Russia has already lost.'

But, of course, that great victory for democracy, which did not cost a single American life, will be lost if the US do not give the Ukraine another $100 billion in cash and weapons immediately, if not sooner. And not giving those weapons to the Ukraine means many jobs making those weapons will be lost in the US.

Now we read that the Jews fled from Europe after WWII to Palestine, where they came in peace, but the fanatical jihadist Arab terrorists attacked them and tried to complete Hitler's genocide. Again and again the Jews offered peace only for the Arabs again and again trying to complete Hitler's genocide.

It seems that not everyone reiterates the Official Western Version of the facts/news/history/etc.,etc.

For starters, Lee Camp explains why all of Ben Shapiro's claims about what is happening in Israel are lies. Lee Camp calls himself an anti-Zionist Jew, while Ben Shapiro is a strongly Zionist Jew. Times change. When I was a boy and WWII and the Nazi genocide of Jews was still a fresh and vivid memory, almost all Americans were Zionists: Jews supported having Israel as a place to which they could run whenever antisemitism arose and threatened their lives, and Christians supported Zionism since Christ cannot return until every Jew is in Israel. Today, 40% of American Jews are anti-Zionist, since they believe Judaism cannot support genocide of Philistines, and they do not consider the Israeli government to be practicing the Jewish religion the way it should be practiced.

Lee Camp has a second video going into the lies in the Western media about the Ghaza and the Ukraine.

In a third short video, Tucker Carlson complains about the fact that the news keep repeating what the government tell them to repeat without bothering to report the actual news. This video is an advert to promote his interview with Putin which will soon be available for free on his website. This interview has been condemned by the US news and Congress even before it has been conducted and posted.

So three videos, the two by Lee Camp total about an hour, 20 minutes for the first and 40 minutes for the second. The Tucker Carlson ad for his upcoming interview with Putin is about four minutes.

President Biden's Video????

 The US is dedicated to helping Israel cleanse Palestine of all the Palestinians. As President Biden said, he saw videos of Palestinians raping Jewish women and beheading Jewish babies, and the US will not allow such things.

For starters, Max Blumenthal, an anti-Zionist Jew, wrote that the Israeli hasbara of rapes and babies beheaded is entirely false.

But now PressTV, banned just about everywhere, has a new show, EXPOSÉ, that presents the refutation of the Israel/US hasbara in more detail than Blumenthal.

In the Western press, Hamas raped women and beheaded babies. But the 'proof' of any of this is sadly lacking, as in non-existent, as in the whole story of raped women and beheaded babies is either mostly or entirely a US/Israeli lie.

But no matter: Israel is another unsinkable US Aircraft Carrier, and the US will support Israel's expulsion of all the illegal Philistines in Israel. And maybe the illegal Christians as well. The fact that they have been in Palestine for at least 4,000 years and have nowhere to go is irrelevant: the US want all of Palestine in Jewish hands, and that's all that matters.

Thomas Friedman's Latest in the New York Times

Friedman has a new column in the New York Times, with a rather limited anchor in TRVTH.

He starts by saying the world is divided into democracies and autocracies, and there is the Resistance Movement, dedicated to preserving the autocracies, and the Inclusion Movement who want to join the Democracies.

The Ukrainians are all in the Inclusion Movement, fighting hard to join the democracies as Putin is futilely trying to keep them under his autocracy. This is only costing the US a few dollars, the Ukrainians are doing all the dying that NATO must spend to stop the evil Putin, so the Ukrainians are saving American lives.

And the war has cost Putin 90% of all the soldiers in the Russian army and most of his tanks. Putin only has outmoded Soviet and Czarist weapons while NATO weapons have twice the range and much greater accuracy, so the Ukrainians have destroyed Putin's army at the cost of a relatively few Ukrainian lives.

I've seen this reiterated in all the Western media. Not just the New York Times, but CNN, the BBC, and Yahoo News.

Of course, those actually in the Ukraine reporting have rather a different take, but what do they know? To report accurately about the Ukraine one should do most of the writing in New York and London and Paris and Berlin, getting your information from your government's information office. A trip to Kiev is OK, but don't go into the Ukrainian countryside or you could end up like Gonzalo Lira, and that would be entirely your own fault.

Don't believe Russian disinformation that it is Russia that killed off at least three Ukrainian armies, and the Ukraine are now drafting women, even pregnant women, since Russia have killed off most of the male draftees.

Officially, Russia were just like Saudi Arabia, selling energy to Europe and using the money to buy everything they needed from Europe. Sanctions cut off all their money, so the Russian military had no financial support and had to use old, inept, outmoded, and in very poor repair Soviet and even Czarist weapons, and had very little ammunition. Ignore the fact that the PRC where, when I was a boy, people dreamed of someday owning a bicycle but knowing that was just a dream, is now the country with the most cars and which buys the most oil, and pays more than the super discounted price Russia gave to Europe to buy their friendship. The PRC, where those in the north were barely able to keep their homes above freezing in the winter, now provide ample heat, and so buy more gas than any other nation. So Russia had money and materials coming in and restarted all the industries closed when Russia were buying almost everything from Europe. And the Russian defence industry is now the most advanced in the world. Remember, all the West, all the Western news media say that is all just Russian disinformation. All the Russian defence industry was outsourced to Europe, so their military only had outmoded and inept equipment, and all the Russian soldiers have been killed and all the Russian tanks destroyed by the brave, well trained, and well equipped Ukrainians. But we do need to give the Ukraine a lot more money, but that's still cheap at half the price.

Meanwhile, Hamas and Iran are also in that Resistance Movement, while Israel and Saudi Arabia are very much in the Inclusion Movement. Saudi will soon be 'a Dubai on steroids' according to Friedman, and will work closely with Israel to join the Democracies of the world.

OK, I'm close enough to see Saudi and Israel, and that Inclusion Movement and their rush toward Democracy don't look all that much better than the autocracy movement, rather worse if one looks too closely.

So stick with Friedman and the New York Times: the Hamas attack on 7 October was unendurable, and Israel have the right to self defence. Israel are providing food and medical care to the Ghazans injured by Hamas, so all claims of genocide are pure lies. The Ghazans can't see that food, and nor can I, but if Friedman and the New York Times say Israel is providing the Ghazans more than enough food and medical care, we must believe him and not our own eyes. His information is much better than ours. Some say that, as an occupying power, international law does not, in fact, give Israel any right to self defence, and certainly no right to block all food going into Ghaza, but Friedman knows what International Law should be, favouring the US as the Leader of Democracy, so whatever the US does and supports is the Law, not what's written in some old books like the ones still available in South Africa that they tried to bring before the ICJ. Nothing Israel does can be considered genocide when the US says it can't possibly be genocide.

As Friedman concludes, Netanyahu hoped to convince Saudi to fully join the Inclusion Movement without giving the slightest concession to the Ghazans, when it would be so easy to get diplomatic recognition by Saudi for Israel if Netanyahu would offer some minuscule, insignificant token and call it full freedom for the Palestinians. No need to give any real concessions, just some meaningless, token concessions, but Netanyahu says Saudi are so desperate to be in the Inclusion Movement that not even a token will be necessary, Saudi will eventually come round, the Inclusion Movement is just too tempting to resist.

And this is making it harder and requiring more time, and Friedman can't understand why Netanyahu is doing this when that meaningless concession would be so much easier and quicker.

Palestine and Zionism

The word 'Zionism' was coined by a Jew in the second half of the 19^th century. The idea was formed by an Anglican clergyman named Rev. Keith in the first half of the 19^th century: he said 'Palestine is a land without a people for a people without a land.' The Anglican clergy did not want Jews, whom they considered deicides, living in the UK, they wanted them all sent back to Palestine.

The Greeks transliterated the Hebrew word as Φιλιστιν, or Philistine. The Romans transliterated it as Palestine. The first Hebrew letter can be pronounced like the Greek Φ or the Roman P, and the vowels are not written in Hebrew. But in the 19th century, the Roman province of Palestine was a small part of the Ottoman vilayet of Syria. Then the Ottoman Empire somehow found themselves as part of the Central Powers in WWI, and lost, and all their Asian vilayets were chopped up and split between the French and the British, and the British got Palestine and Jordan, both formerly parts of Syria, and the French got Syria and Lebanon, both also once parts of Syria. And the British wrote the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate that Palestine was for British Jews. The UK would have liked to force all UK Jews to Palestine, and they got quite a few to go. Palestine went from almost all Palestinians to about 30% British Jews.

Russian Jews, about half of all Jews worldwide, were in the Pale, and suffered pogroms, so some of them wanted to go, but the British said Palestine was only for UK Jews. And anyway, the Russian Empire ended, and the USSR banned ethnic groupings and religion, so there were no Jews in the USSR, but anyone caught practicing the Jewish religion, or any other religion, would be punished. And no one was allowed to leave the USSR. Or the Warsaw Pact, for that matter (but a few managed to escape).

The Nazis wanted a Judenfrei Europe, but, again, the UK said that, while all Jews are a problem, European Jews were a European problem and the Royal Navy would prevent any from being shipped out of Europe. So the Nazis rounded up the Jews, put them in Concentration Camps, which were originally not so bad, a German confined in one in the early '30s wrote that he was there for a year or so and nothing bad happened. But, with WWII, the Axis was short of food, so they starved those in the Concentration Camps, and, as one starves, the immune system weakens and the inmates started getting bad infections and infecting the guards, so the Germans ordered anyone who could not work be killed and the body burned.

The best estimates are that the Germans murdered between 4.5 million to 6 million Jews.

There is, of course, one and only one war crime: losing the war. After they lost the war, any German who had anything to do with killing Jews was severely punished by the Allies.

The Germans also killed Slavs for lebensraum, and considered Slavs as terrible, a race to be exterminated, but, since this is an obvious fact in the West, the Western allies rewarded and honoured Germans who killed Slavs. Quite recently, Canada gave an elderly Nazi a standing ovation for his valuable contribution killing Slavs during WWII, fighting with Canada against the USSR.

But what to do with the survivors in the West European concentration camps? The US said, 'Send them all to Palestine,' and that was done. Well armed, they started killing Philistines, who were advised by the Arabs to flee Palestine until the Jews could be killed by the Arab armies. Only the Arab armies lost. The Philistines who fled Palestine was never allowed to return, and no one knows what to do with them. Most are still in refugee camps, not citizens of any state.

The Jews forced into Palestine want the whole state, but it's not quite Apartheid. The South Africans would not let anyone with a drop of Asian or African blood to become a citizen, but a European Jew was considered European, and was welcomed as a citizen. Israel made 2 million Palestinians legal to stay in Palestine, something South Africa under Apartheid would never have done. But the rest of the Palestinians, about 5.5 million, are illegal aliens.

Israel have said that the events of 7 October 2023 mean those 5.5 million must be removed, one way or the other. If some other country will take them, Israel will send them. If not, they must be killed. So far, Israel has only killed about 26,000 Philistines in  Ghaza, but they have a strict limit of two trucks of food a day, so more than a million Philistines are in danger of death from starvation. Since the Ghaza have no guards inside the Ghaza (there are three batallions of Israeli soldiers outside the Ghaza, guarding that no Ghazan gets out) so if epidemics spread inside Ghaza, they should not infect the Jews outside the Ghaza. And no one seems to care, if no country will take them in, the rest of the world have no objection if Israel kill all the Philistines.

Of course, one question is, 'Why ship all the European and UK Jews to Palestine in the first place? Wasn't that wrong? Didn't Palestine belong to the Palestinians?'

And then, after the US sent all the Western European Jews to Palestine, many Muslim countries punished the Jews living there for something they had nothing to do with, so they fled to Israel since no other place would take them.And after the USSR collapsed, so did the economy, and many former USSR and Warsaw Pact Jews went to Israel.

But now, after more than 70 years, Morocco says they'll be glad to take back all the Jews they evicted in 1948. That's a start. Most of the European Jews in Israel have two passports, so they could leave. No one wants the Philistines, so why not let the Jews go back where they came from and let the Philistines stay in Palestine?

But the Israeli Jews have the full power of the US military behind them, and no one seems to care if they exterminate 5.5 million Philistines, and no one seems to want those 5.5 million Philistines, so it is looking like Israel will starve at least two million to death. And then they'll think about the best way to get rid of the remaining 3.5 million. And the world figures that's OK.

Or at least the world leaders all figure that's all for the best. The world has a lot of people protesting, saying what Israel is doing is wrong, saying their country should help the Palestinians, but their leaders know it's best to close their double-pane windows and drapes so they can't see or hear those protests.

New, Clear Fizz-on

Iran has been less than a month away from a nuke for more than 20 years now.

But the secret has been out since 1945.

It started in 1942 when the US put together the Chicago Pile, reported in newspapers across the world. The Chicago Pile was 60 tonnes of uranium. Most of that was uranium oxide, but about 15% was metallic uranium. Uranium naturally oxidises, so it is usually found as the oxide, which is yellow, and so is called yellowcake. It is easy enough to refine the metal from the oxide, but, as calculated by the scientists who put together the Chicago Pile, this was not necessary for the whole pile.

And, when they put the pile together, Bingo! they had a chain reaction: the pile got hot. So they put in the dampers that stopped the chain reaction. All this got well reported, then it all disappeared under a cloak of Top Secrecy. Everyone and everything was secretly moved to several places, among them Los Alamos, New Mexico which appeared on no maps.

One of my high school professors said he'd spent WWII separating U₂₃₅ from the rest of the uranium, which was U₂₃₈, and this was the key to creating the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. Of course, his actual work was Top Secret, so I have no idea what he really did.

After the US nuked Japan, they said they'd used bombs made from U₂₃₅, and the big effort was separating out the U₂₃₅ by fluorinating all the uranium then centrifuging the uranium fluoride gas until the U₂₃₅ was separated out, and this had taken 3 years.

I remember a Walt Disney cartoon book where they had a tiny speck of U₂₃₅; and the scientist tossed it into a great canyon. Someone said, 'Nothing happened,' and the scientist replied, 'It hasn't hit bottom yet.' When the tiny speck finally did hit bottom, there was a huge explosion that filled the entire canyon.

However, since 1945, no one else has managed to get a critical mass of U₂₃₅ by fluorinating and centrifuging uranium. And then it turned out that the US finally admitted that only one bomb was U₂₃₅, the other was plutonium.

Basically, if one has 60 tonnes of uranium one can easily cause a chain reaction (the pile has to be sculptured correctly, and plates of other substances have to be placed correctly), and if one lets the chain reaction continue for three years, one gets several critical masses of plutonium, which is easily separated and made into nukes. But the plutonium was the Top Secret bit, the US hoped everyone would waste time on fluorinating and centrifuging uranium.

But the USSR knew about the Chicago pile, which was public, and they knew what it was for, but in 1942, they had no idea if it would work. In 1945, they did know, so they built a 60 tonne pile of uranium and in 1949, the USSR had a nuke. For which two Jews were executed by the US for giving the USSR the secret that wasn't really a secret.

Iran do not have 60 tonnes of uranium, so they cannot create that chain reaction that produces plutonium, hence they are fluorinating and centrifuging uranium. And have been less than a month from a nuke for 20 years.

Basically, everyone who wanted a nuke and had 60 tonnes of uranium has a nuke. Everyone who has 60 tonnes (or more) of uranium and does not have a nuke does not want a nuke. And everyone who wants a nuke and does not have one does not have access to 60 tonnes of uranium.

It is said (and Israel wants everyone to believe) that they hijacked a ship with 100 tonnes of uranium on board. The owners of the ship never said anything, and one can certainly imagine why they did not. But did this really happen? Do Israel really have 100 or so nukes?

In any case, Israel (and Fox News) want a US invasion of Iran, regime change, and permanent prevention of any nuclear labs of any kind anywhere in Iran.

Not clear if those really in charge of the US military will order that invasion of Iran, or how such an invasion will go.
