The experience is a jarring one to stare for even a moment at the scene of the Jewish Nation-State & Occupied Palestine joined as one, as if viewing through a telescope at one of the universe’s galactic black holes, peering into the black void that exists on one of Planet Earth’s harshest, most pitiful, tragic scenes of humanity’s hostile, unbridgeable no man’s lands; forever separated by a monolithic, unyielding, cold concrete wall– seemingly stretching to infinity– that, for centuries, has divided two cultures, two religions, two opposite ways of life, two clashing ways of being–each trapped on either side of the wall like mutual prisoners, perpetually locked into each other’s orbit in a bizarre death dance until they finally, once and for all, fatally collide.
Israel and Occupied Palestine now joined together as if one – with fundamentalist Jewish occupier-colonists and evangelical Christians from all points on the globe, constantly being sucked into that vortex to await the prophesied moment when they will be raptured up into their God’s presence; meanwhile violently evicting the indigenous inhabitants with the help of IDF forces, regularly committing widespread, indiscriminate murder and violence condoned by the Jewish Nation-State.
Such an ugly scene, supported by the world’s financial-political-ideological powers that be for their own various sundry evil reasons, is one of those timeless human black holes where the constant pull of such an indescribably powerful source of human evil, that has been perpetrating the same vile acts in different ways, since forever everywhere on earth, is so great that any energy for mutual human goodness, kindness, respect and dignity for the other can never get out of the vortex, and so remains invisible to everything outside of itself: a startling, tragic testament to humankind’s gross inability to ever find a peaceful, harmonious way of life between their disparate minions.
One can only wonder how, in the name of God-Allah-Jehovah—Mohammad-Jesus-Democracy-International Justice, or just plain common human decency, can any elected member of Israel’s Knesset, U.S. Congress or the United Nation’s Council of august leaders, in good conscience, continue to illegally provide billions of American and other nation’s taxpayers monies, without their full knowledge and permission, to be spent in any way whatsoever that continues to oppress Palestinian people, while continuing the illegal expansion of Israel’s ruthless, apartheid government and its exclusive-Jewish Nation-State in the Occupied Territories of Palestine? Yet billions of dollars of ordinary working people and billionaire elites alike continues to be poured into this bottomless black human rabbit hole with only more human evilness and misery to ever show for it; with Israel one of the world’s primary, cutting edge, sources and trainers of anti-democratic, anti-human, anti-life high-tech innovations in oppressive police and military tactics, spyware and all manner of scientific hardware designed to oppress, world-wide, civil society movements.
Where is the little boy in author Jack Herer’s The Emperor Wears No Clothes fable who, in 2021 and beyond, will be the only one ever brave enough to declare to the world that Israel’s illegal, undemocratic, imperialistic, separatist religious Nation-State, clearly and unequivocally, cannot, in all honesty, be called anything but what it is: a brutal authoritarian, fascist, dare one even say ‘Nazi-like’ regime, in power, that, like a rotten bad apple, can only eventually cause every other apple in the barrel to become equally rotten, as well?
If the only truthful answer remains a patented “Yes”, for those who would deny it to be so, it is only because they know which side of their bread is ultimately to be buttered to further whatever their future desires as a politician-purveyor with a lust for worldly power; In which case the only human and humane response to ever give as a retort is acontemptuous, “FOR SHAME!”
For if such a thing as a ‘Heaven’ or ‘Purgatory” truly exists somewhere beyond this Earth in the After Life, does this not suggest an interminably-long sentence awaits all such ‘raptured’ naysayers somewhere in the hell-fires of Purgatory before they ever will have fully paid for all the sins committed in this lifetime against so many innocent Palestinians, and countless other forgotten ones among the world’s, unfortunate innocent girls and boys, young men and women, mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers sucked into the black hole of oblivion?
Does this not, by virtue of association, also make every elected member of the Knesset, U.S. Congress. U.N. Council, as well as every politician or citizen of Planet Earth, who would turn a blind eye away from this simple truth; making them nothing more nor less than a ‘Nazi’ sympathizer or, at the very least, an ‘accessory’ after the fact for so many reprehensible crimes committed against humanity that continue to be perpetrated, with so much contemptuous disdain and indifference, against those innocent, helpless and hapless ones who remain trapped as virtually-enslaved, imprisoned, second-class, non-citizens of Israel’s separatist Jewish Nation-State, or any other nation-state in the world that still exists beyond the reach of what no Supreme Court Judge, International Court Justice, President, Prime Minister, Premier, or Ruler seemingly has little power to do anything about? Does this not suggest some kind of timeless, perpetual human black hole, so indescribably-evil beyond what words can describe, remains forever afoot, where no existing single human or body of humans on earth can ever intercede for good?
In what even more sinister ways in the future will this gaping, cancerous ‘bad apple’ abscess of the human condition continues to infect Israel and America as nations, religiously and ideologically tied, as it were, at the hip to one another, along with the rest of the world prepared to blindly follow their lead like so many zombies?
If the shoe was on the other foot, and the same things that continue to happen daily in Palestine were happening in the United States to, say, the Black Lives Matteror Native American Water is Life Movements, would it not also be grounds for, at the very least, an International Criminal Court case, perhaps more notorious than even the once infamous Nuremberg Trials, to be convened without a moment’s hesitation? And if that didn’t ultimately bring justice for the Black and Brown peoples of the America’s, and indeed their coloured brethren throughoutthe rest of the world, would it not at least be the spark to cause such a violent planetary-wide revolutionary war upheavalthat would make the attempted Jan 6th overthrow of the U.S. Government look like pitiful child’s play?
