WHEN Trump arrogantly suggested that the neighbouring Arab States should absorb the Gaza population as a solution to Israel’s decimation of Gaza, he announced what discerning persons the world over, had already perceived.

From toe-hold to freehold: Zionist occupation strategies-unlimited

The earliest Zionist Israeli arrivals, courtesy Lord Balfour, had come to take it all.

From a toehold then, to a freehold today, Israel has turned international law, UN mechanisms for a safer world and street ethics, on its head. It demolishes Palestinian homes and occupies their lands, detains and kills, as it pleases; and then along with its allies, accuses those who object, of anti-Semitism.

Terror reinvented

The multiple, horrific acts of humiliation and cold blooded murder of children, women and men, wallowing in the Gaza dust for scraps of food, have played and replayed before a stunned world today; and predictably tomorrow. Beyond Palestine, picking and choosing independent sovereign nations to bomb and assassinate at will, Israel warns its neighbours and others to keep off, while it perfects the art of genocide on dying humans half buried in the rubble.

There is no need for covert crime as Israel goes about its deadly mission of ‘all of Palestine, for Israel only.’ Big brother US, ensures her impunity through a fine-tuned scheme of rewards and punishments, while British and EU ‘leaders,’ cringing before Trump, expertly reconcile their vacant, performative ‘expressions of public concern’ with a resolute defence of these same atrocities at global assemblies.

The UN, has been thrashed tooth less. The whole world knows that peace keeping forces are an option only when they have the US nod. Unable to keep its original mandate of a ‘warless world’ the UN is clearly troubled with its current identity crisis.
