& All Other Non-Jews

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation against the city of Rafah has begun in earnest after weeks of deliberation and delays. After driving a captive Palestinian population toward the city, located in Gaza’s south, Palestinian civilians are on the move again. Leaflets dropped by Israeli forces warned Palestinians to leave the eastern districts of Rafah and proceed to al-Mawasi, a narrow coastal region that Israel has called an “expanded humanitarian zone,” even though it is bereft of any services whatsoever. They were met by harsh conditions with no humanitarian infrastructure. Even prior to the attack on the city, Rafah’s hospitals were overwhelmed. In Gaza’s north, fighting has renewed around Jabalia, a vast Palestinian refugee camp.

A photo essay published by Al Jazeera on May 11 shows Palestinians in mid-flight, driving heavily-laden cars, trucks, and other conveyances; others were on foot pushing grocery carts and carrying what they could as they fled Rafah.

According to data provided by Gaza’s health ministry, as of May 6, approximately 34,735 Palestinians have been killed and 78,108 have been injured in Israel’s ongoing attack on Gaza. As mentioned in a previous article, however, it stands to reason that the true number is likely far higher. In a March 6 piece, Ralph Nader made a compelling argument for a much larger figure:

From accounts of people on the ground, videos and photographs of deadly episode after episode, plus the resultant mortalities from blocking or smashing the crucial necessities of life, a more likely estimate, in my appraisal, is that at least 200,000 Palestinians must have perished by now and the toll is accelerating by the hour.

There is a rhetorical war going on about casualty figures being waged by competing organizations and in the press. According to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), the United Nations recently downplayed the figures of women and children who had been killed in the conflict. Unfortunately, this statistical wrangling will go on indefinitely.

On April 6, former war correspondent and journalist Chris Hedges gave a speech in San Francisco at an event announcing the establishment of the Palestine Center for Public Policy. In his prepared remarks, entitled “The Algebra of Genocide,” he went through a comprehensive litany of obliteration. He described, in great detail, Israel’s targeting of civilians, including women and children, as well as infrastructure, homes, medical facilities, and cultural institutions both religious and educational. The transcript of his remarks is a comprehensive itemization of that destruction:

Israel has [razed] 77% of healthcare facilities in Gaza, 68% of telecommunications infrastructure; nearly all municipal and governmental buildings; commercial, industrial, and agricultural centers; almost half of all roads; over 60% of Gaza’s 439,000 homes; 68% of residential buildings, including the bombing of al-Taj Tower in Gaza City on October 25th that killed 101 people, including 44 children and 37 women and injured hundreds; and has obliterated refugee camps. The attack alone on the Jabalia refugee camp on October 25th killed at least 126 civilians, including 69 children and injured 280. Israel has damaged or destroyed Gaza’s universities, all of which are now closed, and 60% of other educational facilities, including 13 libraries. It has also destroyed at least 195 heritage sites, including 208 mosques, churches, and Gaza’s central archives that held over 150 years of historical records and documents.

The Israelis have employed a disproportionate amount of force in this conflict. Israeli forces have regularly targeted civilians with airstrikes, artillery, high-explosive tank shells, modern small arms, and any number of other weapons. Hedges continues:

Israel’s warplanes, missiles, drones, tanks, artillery shells, and naval guns daily pulverize Gaza, which is only 20 miles long and five miles wide, in a scorched-earth campaign unlike anything seen since the war in Vietnam. It has dropped 250,000 tons of explosives — that’s the equivalent of two nuclear bombs — on Gaza, many targets selected by artificial intelligence. It drops unguided munitions known as dumb bombs and 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on refugee camps and densely-packed urban centers, as well as the so-called “safe zones.”

Relations between Israel and the United States have the appearance of being strained at the moment. The Biden administration has determined that Israel likely violated international humanitarian law when it used American-supplied weapons in airstrikes against civilians. As a result, the US has threatened to pause arms shipments to Israel if it continued its disproportionate use of force and if the IDF proceeded with its ground operation in Rafah. Benjamin Netanyahu responded with, “If we need to . . . we will stand alone. I have said that if necessary we will fight with our fingernails.”

Despite this, however, it is hard to believe that the “ironclad” support that Israel receives from the US, thanks to overwhelming Jewish influence, has wavered. Predictably, major donors to the Democratic Party disapproved of President Biden’s public criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war. Israeli-American Haim Saban, who is described as a Democratic Party megadonor, voiced his concerns about Biden’s decision to pause further arms shipments to Israel. As a result of the pressure, the Biden administration informed Congress on Tuesday that it was proceeding with a new arms deal for Israel worth more than $1 billion.

Despite the Biden administration’s recent public misgivings, the US still provides Israel with a vast amount of armaments. According to the BBC, Israel is an exporter of weapons systems in its own right as well, but relies heavily on imported aircraft, guided ordnance, and missiles from Western governments. The article cites anonymous sources that describe the air campaign against Gaza as one of the most destructive in recent memory.

The BBC piece further cites a report issued by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). According to the SIPRI, between 2019 and 2023 69% of Israel’s armaments imports came from the United States. Moreover, Israel has been receiving $3.8 billion in military aid annually from the US as part of a ten-year agreement to give the Jewish state a “qualitative military edge” over its regional rivals.

According to an article in the Washington Post, American officials informed Congress in a classified briefing, that the US has helped facilitate the delivery of “thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid” since the beginning of the campaign in October.

Israeli civilians have taken it upon themselves to disrupt aid shipments bound for the Gaza strip, throwing rocks onto the roads to delay aid trucks that are carrying food, water, fuel, and medical supplies to the Palestinians. Their justification is that they are halting the flow of provisions to Hamas — at least outwardly. But it is clear that they have no remorse about starving the Palestinians, depriving them of the necessities of life and making the rendering of medical aid much more difficult.

A video posted on Twitter/X shows Israelis ransacking an aid truck bound for the Palestinians. An Agence France-Presse (AFP) story provides more detail and context. Some Israelis fell upon the Gaza-bound aid convoy, which had originated in Jordan and traversed the Tarqumya crossing in the West Bank. According to the AFP article:

The attackers hurled the food cargo bound for besieged Gaza — including bags of cereal, rice, flour, packets of biscuits and freeze-dried soup — to the ground and trampled it . . . Images and footage published by AFP showed the emptied trucks with food products scattered on the road, and images later seen on social media showed trucks being set on fire near the crossing point.

According to The Independent and Human Rights Watch (HRW), the Israeli military has killed and wounded dozens of humanitarian aid workers in eight separate strikes on aid convoy vehicles and shelters in the course of the present campaign.

It is crucial for us to be wary of the pro-Palestinian movements that are being sponsored by globalist financiers and subversives. A Revolver article speaks to the nature of the protests and their function, as well as who is backing them and why. They are not our friends, either. They may serve as a battering ram in the short term to challenge Jewish power, but they have the stink of the establishment’s backing as well. It is nothing short of a new Black Lives Matter type of movement that has been repackaged and sold as something new. They are not pro-white, and they are not our allies, even though it may seem so.

The lead-up to the 2020 US presidential election saw an eerily similar prelude in the form of BLM, and the 2024 election looms. We must therefore keep this in mind when considering this issue, and always remember that it is always our own side that we must consider. The interests of white people are paramount.

While the presence of Arabs and other non-white foreigners in our Western countries, Palestinian exiles included, has been disastrous for the Western world, it is important to use the ongoing conflict in Gaza as a warning and a revelatory event that lays bare Jewish strategy and tactics against their real and perceived enemies.

Diaspora Jews, more than any other group, have spent every waking moment trying to displace, dispossess, and demoralize white gentiles. They have employed genocidal schemes against us. As Greg Johnson has written about extensively, this may be a slow and deliberate genocide, but is a genocide nonetheless. The Palestinians are experiencing an intensified and accelerated version of that very same genocidal program — one that ends in either death or exile.
