Living Among Vermin

Caitlin Johnstone documents the horror:

Malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza are beginning to climb, with the health ministry reporting 18 in a single 24-hour period. Doctors report that people are “collapsing” in the street, and Gaza journalist Nahed Hajjaj is warning the world not to be surprised if the remaining reporters in the enclave are soon silenced by starvation.

Unless something drastically changes, things can be expected to get much worse very rapidly.

Meanwhile Israeli forces are setting new records with their massacres of starving civilians seeking aid, with 85 killed in a single day on Sunday. 

If this isn’t evil, then nothing is evil. If Israel isn’t evil, then nothing is.

...

So what’s the plan here? Do we just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments?

And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing something like that to happen? And that our rulers could do the same thing to another inconvenient population at any time?

We’re just meant to be cool with that? And go on living like it’s normal?

I’m genuinely curious. How exactly is everyone planning to go about living their lives after that point? How does that work, exactly?

Indeed.  Zio-nazis (who imagine themselves to be "Jewish supremacists") imagine that this is a "victory."  That this is "glorious."  But it has made them a pariah among nations, most of which were not noted for "antisemitism."  Indeed, most of these countries were indifferent to the delusional disputes over imaginary garbage between Jews, Christians and Muslims.  But they observe this sickening colonial-imperialist violence by this nation of psychopathic narcissists (and their even more nauseating self-pity) and they are rightly disgusted.

Israel still has its supporters.  The increasingly irrelevant "West."  The shit-heads who provoked a war in Ukraine that has led to that country's destruction.  The senile United States of America, which barfs up travesties of humanity to represent it, whether they be the pathetic Joe Biden or the putrid Donald Trump.  The USA which is out-produced by Russia and China.  Out-fought by Russia.  Out-innovated by China.  The USA is an aged, bloated, past-his-prime fighter who is too arrogant to admit that he's too tired to train properly.

We leftists who have been right about COVID, right about Global Warming, right about Free Trade, right about social programs, right about tax-cuts, right about WMDs, right about Palestine-Israel, ... we are in a minority.  There is a smaller, but much more loud because they're much more stupid, minority of truly hateful, vile, stupid people.  There is a tiny clique of vermin like our professional political class and certain of our business "elties" who deflect and delude in order to steer our economy to reward said "elites."  And then there's the majority.  And I guess of them I'll say what I've always said.  They're not bad people.  They are just foundationally incapable of seeing beyond their own self-interest (which includes their families and friends).
