Springtime for Bibi

In Toronto, Canada recently, 60,000 Zionists or their enablers, took part in a march to raise funds for Israel. There has not been a gathering of such devoted zealots to such a depraved cause since the Nuremberg rallies of the 1930s.

The organizers claimed the ‘Walk with Israel’ was not divisive, rather intended to celebrate shared values. These shared values include supporting an 80-year-old genocide, discriminate and indiscriminate bombing of innocent people, the systematic starving of families, including children, as a strategy to force them off the land they inhabited for thousand of years.

These shared values include targeting and killing journalists, targeting and killing aid workers, targeting and killing emaciated people as they lined up for the trickle of food that Israel allows into Gaza.

These shared values include the ongoing Israeli theft of land in the West Bank, the forced evictions of Arabs from their houses, the theft or killing of their livestock, the blocking of ambulances from reaching Arab victims of Israeli settler violence, the constant taunting and humiliation inflicted upon Arabs by Israeli fanatics.

These shared values include attacking Iran, Lebanon, and Syria as part of an arrogant belief that they belong to Greater Israel.

These shared values include supporting debased war criminals like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

They also support the particularly odious Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli cabinet minister who said of Palestinians, ‘They should be crushed to pieces, starved to death, and not resuscitated with humanitarian aid that gives them oxygen.’

The shared values of these walkers for Israel include support for Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who said, ‘It might be justified to let 2 million Palestinians die of hunger.’

These useful marching idiots in Toronto share values with Israeli Heritage Minister Amihai Ben-Eliyahu who stated, ‘The army must find ways more painful than death for the civilians in Gaza. Killing them is not enough.’

The only way to justify raising funds for the genocidal regime in Israel is if your ‘shared values’ don’t include Palestinian lives, Palestinian land, Palestinian freedom. And why would they? To Zionists the Palestinians are at best, trespassers on Israeli land and at worst sub-human, unchosen and unclean.

The ‘Walk with Israel’ organizers never mention the suffering, the killing, the starvation, the slaying of hope, that Israel has inflicted on the people of Palestinian over the last eighty years. There is nary a tear shed for thousands of innocent people who have been displaced or relocated to refugee camps.

Rather, it is always about them, the rise of antisemitism, how they have never felt so unsafe, how the government must do more to protect them. Maybe, for even one day, they should change places with the Palestinians whom Israel has tormented, murdered, and starved for over a century and then say how unsafe they feel in Western democracies.

Conflating the general Jewish population with Israel gives these rabid Zionists cover for their support of the unsupportable. Falling back on the old canard of antisemitism against those who legitimately, necessarily criticize Israel is a dishonest and reprehensible tactic that should be denounced every time it is uttered.

While there was considerable police presence in Toronto for the ‘Walk With Murderers Israel’, I didn’t see any of them arresting the marchers for raising money or offering succor for the terrorist Israeli regime. I guess they were leaving that to ICC investigators, who at some point, when the world can no longer turn a blind eye to Israeli atrocities, will issue arrest warrants for 60,000 walkers with genocide.

For a generation or more after World War II, German citizens were asked if they knew what happened in the death camps. Most said they didn´t know and no one believed them. How could they not have known? But it is possible that in the midst of war, chaos, and deprivation, worried about their sons at the front and dodging allied bombs, that many didn’t know until after the war.

But in Palestine, we are watching a genocide take place in real time through technology that didn’t exist in World War II. The images are inescapable, even if the mainstream press has largely taken a pass. Unlike those generations of Germans who lived during World War II, you can’t say that you didn’t know, only that you didn’t care.
