"The mask has fallen as the West backs genocide in Gaza"

Nov 14, 2023

Robert Inlakesh is a writer, journalist and documentary filmmaker based in London, UK. He appears regularly in Al Mayadeen English.

"‘Freedom’, ‘democracy’ and a ‘rules-based international order’ are what the self-styled ‘civilized’ Western governments claim to be guiding them. The so-called ‘leader of the free world’ alleges that his administration upholds international humanitarian law and opposes all forms of racism and discrimination. This rhetoric may have held up in the past, but as the Western regimes participate in the genocide of yet another indigenous population, this time in Palestine, the mask that was once hanging from a thread, has finally fallen."

"'They call us terrorists': Inside the Palestinian resistance forces of Jenin, West Bank"

"The resistance will never be crushed... Any people under occupation have the right to resist. This is the case for all colonized people...

People in the West think we have no ambition. It's not true. I was studying computer engineering and I had an invention. All Palestinians have been subjected to the injustice of occupation. We grew up with ambition. We grew up playing in the street. Children around the world may play ordinary games, like PlayStation. Here we are forced to play with stones. There are no conditions for life here. No life... We had ambitions to become scientists, doctors, and engineers, but the occupation opted for violence."

Excerpt:

"Kahanists have quickly built on their electoral success, establishing a foothold in the Israeli mainstream. Two months after his 2021 election to the Knesset—which conferred upon him parliamentary immunity—Kahanist Jewish Power party leader Itamar Ben Gvir organized anti-Palestinian pogroms across the country—race riots that Israeli Police Commander Kobi Shabtai characterized as “a Jewish intifada.” According to statistics gathered by Israeli liberal watchdog group Darkenu, local television channels now give Ben Gvir and his racist incitements more screen time than any other Knesset member. The uncritical coverage helped the Kahanists place third in the November 2022 elections, winning fourteen of 120 seats in the Knesset and transforming Ben Gvir into the kingmaker of Israeli politics.

Returning to power, Netanyahu has installed Ben Gvir as his national security minister and given him unprecedented power over Israel’s security forces, including the power to relax open-fire regulations, permitting them to gun down Palestinians with even greater impunity. It has also tabled a bill that would give Ben Gvir additional authorities until now only wielded by Israel’s Defense Minister: the power to restrict any person’s movements, employment and communications, and even to imprison them for up to six months at a time, all based on secret evidence. The new Likud-Kahanist government has also announced its intention to pass a new law permitting Jewish business owners—including medical personnel—to deny services to non-Jews and to overturn an old law that disqualified the Knesset candidacy of unabashed racists who openly call for non-Jews to be expelled from the country.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence had already made official the Republican Party’s support for Kahanism in March 2022, when he toured Hebron, the largest city in the West Bank and home to some of the most reactionary Jewish settlers, as a guest of the Kahane movement. There, Pence visited the Ibrahimi Mosque—where Goldstein committed his massacre—accompanied by Ben Gvir. “Stay strong, and we’ll stand with you” were the warm words Pence used to bless Ben Gvir."

"There is an apartheid regime, this is not a trope, this is International Law. I encourage you to read the Apartheid convention, because it talks about racial domination." Francesca Albanese. UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.

"Hear Palestinian revolutionary, Ghassan Kanafani, school a western reporter on the Palestinian liberation struggle, saying talks with Israel are a "conversation between the sword and the neck".

Kanfani was a prolific writer and leading member of the revolutionary resistance group the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). 51 years ago, he and his 17-year-old niece were assassinated in a car bombing by the Israeli Mossad in Beirut.

As Israel continues its bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid, Kanafani's words in this 1970 interview with Australian Middle East correspondent Richard Carleton, continue to resonate." [Posted Feb 3, 2023]

Did you know the World Health Organization, in its founding document (1946), exempted itself from criminal prosecution?

"Why would an organization need to give itself exemption from criminal prosecution?" asked Dr. David Martin.

"The reason why they wrote that into their founding charter is because they knew they were already breaking the law."

Does the West support racism & terrorism?

This is Israel's Minister of National Security, in charge of the response to the October 7th attack:

Ben-Gvir convicted of inciting to racism [& support of terrorism 2007]

"Far-right activist Itamar Ben-Gvir was convicted Monday in a Jerusalem court of incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization."

The existence and importance of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is largely unknown to the West. Thus, the significance of the name chosen for the Oct 7, 2023 "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood", is also largely lost on a Western populace.

Yet, the background here is vitally important. >>>

Israel's Minister of National Security Ben Gvir and his depraved Kahanist followers are pushing toward an all-out bloodbath, holy war. Since Oct 7th, over 190,000 Israelis have filed for weapons licenses, with Gvir's goal of arming Israel civilians en masse. "Ben Gvir then called 'on everyone who is eligible' to 'go arm yourself' with a 'life-saving weapon.' The month before Benjamin Netanyahu’s government came to power, Ben Gvir was filmed on the streets of occupied Jerusalem waving a pistol and calling on settlers to shoot unarmed Palestinians." [Source: The Cradle]

Jan 5, 2023:

"Swiftly on the heels of the government’s swearing in, and in the face of warnings from the United States, the international community, and Israel’s own security establishment, Ben Gvir chose to message his long-stated position that “Israel is the owner of the Temple Mount” by paying a heavily secured visit to the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif.

Parsing technicalities surrounding provocations in a conflict cauldron is a dangerous game, particularly at a site as storied a flashpoint as the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. For Palestinians, Christian and Muslim alike, Al Aqsa mosque is considered their most powerful national symbol, making visits expressly intended to display Israeli sovereignty a potent provocation. It is in this vein that Netanyahu has repeatedly insisted on maintaining the status quo, as recently as 2020 noting that 'Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount, though it sounds like a reasonable thing, I know it would have ignited the Middle East … There’s a limit. There are things that I’m not willing to do to win an election.'...

Within hours of Ben Gvir’s visit and a UAE condemnation, Netanyahu’s planned upcoming official visit to the UAE was postponed. Subsequently, the UAE has joined with China in calling for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss concerns over these latest Jerusalem developments. Meanwhile, Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Israel’s ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom to explain the provocation, Egypt and Turkey have both registered objection, and Saudi Arabia, the normalization “prize” Netanyahu most seeks, joined the chorus of condemnation in characterizing Ben Gvir’s visit as a “storming” of the Al-Aqsa."

The extent to which this vocal condemnation from Arab partners can serve to rein in the more extreme impulses of the Israeli government remains to be seen. Normalization with the Arab world is deeply popular among Israelis, but Netanyahu’s most extreme coalition partners on whom he relies are driven more by their annexationist and Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif sovereignty goals than by the lure of regional normalization or fear of the international community’s condemnation."

'Unprecedented provocation': Israeli ultranationalist minister visits Al-Aqsa mosque'

During an interview, Jewish supremacist National Security Minister of Israel Itamar Ben-Gvir reaffirmed his desire to keep killing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, and said that the rights of Jews are far more important than those of Palestinians.

This is the text of Ai Wei Wei's deleted tweet, for which his exhibition has been cancelled in London's Lisson Gallery. He is entitled to his opinion. I believe it is better to differentiate between Judaism and Zionism, as not only they are not the same, but they are now ethically in opposition to each other. There should be no place for cancel culture in the art world. Sadly, there is.
