IT HAS BEGUN - THE BEGINNING OF THE END. (WORLD WAR ROUND-UP VOLUME 3)
Israel invades Gaza as the Fog of War Thickens
The new age is upon us
And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave
For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man
Shall stand before God!
It has begun - the beginning of the end.
-Immortal Technique
As this story goes to press, the IDF is beginning its raid into Gaza. The people of Northern Gaza were given 24 hours to evacuate, but it is completely unfeasible for them to do so. Where are they supposed to evacuate to?
Speaking for myself, I can scarcely imagine the hell in which the Gazans are now living.
The situation is nothing less than heart-breaking. It is very much like watching a train wreck in slow motion, because at this point peace seems impossible anytime soon. It is not inconceivable that this could be a fight to the finish.
For anyone who, like me, has long deplored the Israeli occupation, I encourage you not to treat this war as a spectator sport, cheering on Hamas like the fans of the Celtics football club in Scotland.
It is horrible to see people cheering on war when one knows that children are currently being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
CHARLES EISENSTEIN
Some of you will no doubt be familiar with Eisenstein’s work. I’m not personally familiar with his work, but many people I respect were or are big fans of his. He has a reputation for being one of the more level-headed and practical spiritually-minded intellectuals, and is often mentioned alongside people like Daniel Pinchbeck.
He is a member of Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign team, and I think it says something about how well RFK’s campaign is going that his own campaign advisor felt the need to distance himself from the presidential candidate’s hardcore pro-Israel stance.
I think that he speaks for many people of a spiritual persuasion with his recent piece, which I’ll quote from at length:
As most of you know, I have been advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his Presidential campaign, and have been deeply disappointed by his recent statements on Israel and West Asia. I have stuck by him despite our disagreement on the Israel/Palestine issue, because I see in him personal qualities that give me hope that he will change his mind. But, because many people look to me for sanity or clarity or a peace perspective on current affairs, I am called to make my own statement on recent events. It is not the position of the campaign or the candidate. But I hope that it will be.
Surveying the horrific savagery of the Hamas attack on Israel, and the prospect of a retributive slaughter of the people of Gaza orders of magnitude greater, one thing should be abundantly clear to all. The policies of two generations of Palestinian and Israeli leadership have both brought the very opposite of what they intended to achieve.
Repression, exclusion, imprisonment, violence, assassinations, walls, and fences have not made Israel secure.
Violent resistance, rockets, and terrorist attacks have not returned to the Palestinians their lands nor given them any meaningful degree of self-determination.
It is hard here to make any statement without someone trying to decode it for clues as to what side I am on. Do I think Hamas’ attacks were justified? Do I think a devastating Israeli counterattack is justified? Who is in the right and who is in the wrong?
This kind of question represents a way of thinking that ensures that bloody cycles of vengeance will continue and grow. At some point we must choose: do we want vengeance, to see the wicked punished and the good vindicated? Or do we want the horror to cease?
He goes on to say:
My disappointment in RFK Jr. is not because I think he has taken the wrong side. It is that he has taken a side. We need leadership that recognizes the tragic and inevitable failure of conquest as a formula for a better world. That he neglects to include the travails of the Palestinians in his statements is a symptom of sides-taking. A desperate population like that of Gaza, subject to two generations of violence and humiliation, is a tinderbox of fury waiting to ignite.
CAITLIN JOHNSTONE
I wasn’t familar with Caitlin Johnstone until just recently, but I have been extremely impressed by your her work. I highly recommend the following piece:
The Israeli government dropped thousands of leaflets on Gaza telling everyone who lives in the northern part of the strip that they have 24 hours to evacuate to the southern part, and then bombed the people who were trying to evacuate.
United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric denounced the evacuation order, saying the UN “considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences.” Many Palestinians have said they’re going to stay where they are because they have nowhere safe to go, despite being told by Israel they must leave if they want to “save their lives”.
We’re about to see the death and destruction get much, much worse in Gaza, and it’s already very, very bad. As of this writing the official death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza is speeding past 1,900, a number which includes 614 children. The primary job of Israel apologists in the coming days will be producing and circulating narratives explaining why this self-evidently terrible thing is actually perfectly fine and acceptable.
It’s so incredibly obvious what we’re looking at here. The only thing putting a wobble on people’s perception is the immense amount of propaganda distortion the media is churning out on this issue, plus the fact that the demographics look a bit different from what history has conditioned people to watch out for. If there were two million Jewish people trapped by Christians in a giant concentration camp and placed under total siege, being told that half of them had 24 hours to relocate into the other half or be killed, nobody would have any confusion about what they were witnessing.
And top-down commands are being issued within the US government to support this massacre unconditionally.
CELIA FARBER
My pick for the best take on the situation on Gaza goes to Celia Farber, who released the following piece, which gets straight to the heart of the matter:
I believe many spells are breaking right now. Higher spells are breaking lower spells and vice versa.
They want you de-sensitized and full of righteous hate. You don’t owe them that.
Resist them, defeat them, by remaining open-minded and loving. It will be brave Israeli and Palestinian voices who guide us through these burning weeds right now.
My friend Mike Merenda sent around this absolutely amazing conversation between two men who have their hearts and souls in order.
Please listen to it.
“This war that is happening in The Holy Land is happening inside each and every one of us.”
”WW3 is a war on your consciousness. If a part of you is calling for bloodshed, you are imprisoned.”“It is time now to see this darkness in ourselves or we will never see the situation clearly.”
“It used the Jewish people after the Holocaust to find a way into the psyche. It used them as human shields.”
I don’t feel I owe it to my Jewish ancestors to be indifferent to the plight of Palestinians, but today I have been made aware that this was affecting me in the past. Thanks to the wise words of Mr. Abbas, I see what all sides were exploited and used. Jewish post-Holocaust trauma was exploited to serve the psychopathic agenda of The Crown/Masonic/NWO globalist cabal.
Let’s stop feeding it, and stop having “emotions” that are not our own.
Like Mr. Abbas, I have been thinking about my own shadow in recent days, everything that separates me from being alive.
Positions are there to block your heart. We’ve all been manipulated almost beyond comprehension. Maybe this is what it took to break the biggest of all spells, the one that separates, others, and seeds the lie that certain people don’t deserve empathy. The divide and conquer class is fully exposed now. Nothing they ever tell us to think is ever about love, it’s always about righteous accusation and moral superiority, and these are idols, and sins. Our natural state is love.
I'm sure this will make me look like a cold person, but I see this whole situation as one between inmates and guards. The Israelis have detained the Palestinians for most of my life, and instead of making peace, they've reduced the Palestinians to demoralization. Like any inmate that's pushed too far, there would be a prison riot.
I'm just sitting back and waiting to see who wins: the guards or the inmates.
