Only two countries in the world always vote against UN resolutions to make access to food a universal human right. Israel and the US. Now we know why.

Few headlines better demonstrate European ineptitude, passivity and complicity than this.

She was right. Although there are monsters. They just hide in plain sight and most choose to ignore them or never realise they're there.

It's rare to see a more flagrant attempt to manipulate public opinion with outrageous propaganda. Indescribably grotesque deceit.

Today I head a radio host, a politician on TV and now this article all saying the same thing. The vast numbers of deaths of Palestinians in Gaza is entirely the fault of Hamas. Israel has no moral culpability or accountability whatsoever. It is now far beyond what even George Orwell imagined.

Supporters of Israel say opposition to the slaughter of 10s of thousands of Palestinian children and plans to remove all survivors to other countries is siding with terrorism because Hamas opposes it. Hamas believe the sky is blue. Is saying the sky is blue siding with terrorism?

How did the Nazi party convince 8 million Germans to join it? Why was it largely unopposed for years in the 1930s despite its vicious rhetoric? Propaganda and cowardice. How is Israel committing a live streamed holocaust whilst millions support it? Propaganda and cowardice.

The Israeli defence Minister. The Israeli gov thinks annihilation is the response to the deaths of Israeli's on October 7th. By this horrific and absurd logic, Israel suffered no terrorism, only appropriate responses to its decades of killings of Palestinians. But it doesn't think that at all.

Holocaust denial is grotesque. Gaza is much worse than a genocide. It's another holocaust. And yet millions deny it's even happening. Despite 100s of thousands killed, ancient cities destroyed and countless Israeli government statements saying Gaza will be emptied.

David Ben-Gurion was Israel's first PM. He was a known terrorist before that. The radical fundamentalist nature of Zionism that Gurion & others began, and continues today, is seen in his quotes. Jewish, Arab and other lives all sacrificed for the ever expanding state of Israel.

Anyone, anywhere in the world, seeing what's happening in Gaza and stridently supporting it in public without equivocation should be considered a dangerous, radicalised ideologue. Any of those living in liberal democracies should be considered a national security threat to our liberty.

Does Iran have a right to exist? Does Iran have a right to defend itself against unilateral aggression based on entirely false pretences? Based on Zionist logic for the last 20 monts, Iran has not just the right but should try to extinguish all threats to its security entirely. Oh dear.

Matt @twosidesbalance.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
He says this to portray Israel as the victim, to create sympathy and therefore poltical room for manoeuvre as a result. A war that Israel started, under entirely false pretences as all Western intelligence agencies say Iran was not building nukes. So, does Iran have a right to self defence?

The UK and much of Europe gives up the independence of its poltical decision making to the most extreme and violent religious/poltical ideology the world has seen since ww2.

With the only caveat being that the Israeli number may be far higher but we can't know because they don't allow any inspections, nor officially confirm the programme at all. Unlike every other nuclear nation.

There will be many so called liberal Europeans who care more about their Latte and avocado toast rising in price in the coming weeks than the deaths of 10s of thousands of Palestinian children over the last 20 months.

Right wing European: Reign down the bombs, kill thousands of Muslims, I couldn't care less as they deserve it. Right wing European: This attack by a Muslim in Europe that killed two is evidence of their mindless brutality.

You can tell how dangerous this time is by how many journalists, online commentators and politicians refuse to even talk about Israeli actions. Let alone criticise them. So many accounts on Bluesky are keen to opine on almost anything. But they avoid Israel. The silence is deafening.

Many Westerners forget or never knew that the Nazi's gained such power by convincing the German public they could do no wrong because of the treaty of Versailles and punishment of Germany after ww1. They also persuaded most Germans that Jewish people were such a threat they had to be eliminated.

In case anyone is unclear, this is why they attacked Iran. Utterly depraved and grotesque. 10s of millions in the West are excrutiatingly clueless.

American politicians respond with: 'pray for Israel' Decades of Zionist propaganda and political coercion has resulted in the West treating a nation as a perpetual victim. Despite it evidently being a perpetual aggressor.

What is Zionism? A poltical project to seize land. What are Zionists doing today as per the last 140 years? Plotting and acting to take land by force and coercion. And millions across the West will still believe Zionists are the good guys, irrespective of what they do. The power of propaganda.

How many Westerners will care once this final phase of ethnic cleansing of Gaza is complete? Attacking Iran was always going to be the strategy for Israel's final solution for Gaza, and quite likely the West Bank. Most will care little so long as their comfortable lives continue unaffected.

Matt @twosidesbalance.bsky.social · 13/06/2025
Palestinians will now be decimated as the world switches to the Iran war. That is the primary purpose of Israel striking Iran. Gaza will be ethnically cleansed and the West Bank will be severely assaulted.

Israel is on the cusp of starting war with Iran. It could lead to devastating effects for 100s of millions or more.

The Nazis wanted to kill as many Jews and other minorities as possible because they said they posed an immense threat to Germany. It was a horrific genocide born from hatred. Today nearly two thirds of Israeli's have adopted the same all consuming and all excusing hatred. The west looks on.

Israel: It's a blood libel to claim we're blocking aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Israel: It's hateful and anti Semitic for Greta and activists to bring aid to Palestinians in Gaza. We will block it.

The Minister of defence for Israel labels a small boat carrying some activists and aid to Palestinians a 'hate flotilla'. Zionism is a deranged ideology committed to controlling western opinions through absurd propaganda. And it works on many. Which is utterly absurd. For eight decades.

Israel: We won’t let independent reporters into Gaza for their safety. Also Israel: We "tied up, blindfolded, strip searched, interrogated and threatened" BBC reporters in Syria. "Their electronic devices were also taken from them and material was deleted."

When Israeli PM, Yikzak Rabin, signed the Oslo Peace Accords in 93, Netanyahu led a march through the streets with a mock coffin, hangman's nooose and effigy or Rabin. Rabin was assassinated soon after by an Israeli, incensed about the idea of peace and a Palestinian state. Zionism.

14 members of the UN Security Council just voted for a resolution to bring a ceasefire, release of all hostages and end of the blockade of Gaza. One member vetoed it so it will not pass. Was it China? Russia? No, it was the US.

There is a high likelihood that Zionism will destroy European liberal democracy as we know it. It probably already has.

Matt @twosidesbalance.bsky.social · 04/06/2025
This is how Zionism is destroying the post World War 2 international order. As it does, its supporters celebrate and mock as below what so many have worked hard to establish. Eventually, European liberal democracies will realise Zionism is one of, if not the primary threat to global peace.

These outrageous, slanderous attacks by Zionists are unacceptable. They should be met with legal action of defamation. Using religion as a weapon to deflect from the actions of a government should be condemned by politicians across Europe.

David Mencer was a Director of the influential lobby group, Labour Friends of Israel. Dozens of MPs and Cabinet Ministers in previous Tory governments and the current Labour one are members of the group. Much of UK Middle East policy is dictated by Israeli interests, and has been for years.

Israel killed many of its own citizens on October 7th. Almost certainly hundreds. Netanyahu repeatedly rejects angry demands by Israeli's for an investigation into events that day. Most in the West have no idea. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09...

Many Europeans, including so called liberals, are astonishingly and horrifyingly indifferent to the 10s of thousands of Killed Palestinian children. It's done with the political and even military support of their governments which makes their disinterest wildly unacceptable

10s of millions of right wing Europeans hold wildlly incoherent views: 1. They support Israeli and US war mongering against Muslim countries, irrespective of the devastating effect it has on the Middle East. 2. They think asylum seekers are one of Europe's biggest problems. Utterly absurd.
