A street in West Jerusalem before the founding of Israel in 1948.
The Zionists have fooled the world with their lies that Palestine was
empty and completely undeveloped until it was invaded by the Jews in 1948! “A
land without a people for a people without land” is the slogan of Jewish
propaganda to justify the rape of Palestine.
Palestine was not an empty piece of land before Israel. It was a country.
It had a vibrant society with cities, airports, schools, colleges, theaters,
concerts, newspapers, culture and administrative institutions. Just like neighboring
Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. The Palestinians were an ordinary people with
an ordinary country, rising from under 400 years of Turkish occupation. They had
hopes for freedom and independence.
The photo above depicts a street in West Jerusalem before the founding of
Israel in 1948. The image is available on the Library of Congress website under
the title, "Princess Mary Street with Rex Cinema in background, West
Jerusalem." It is identified as having been taken by the Matson Photo
Service sometime between 1940 and 1946.
The crooks of the British Mandate named the street Princess Mary Street, before
the Zionists changed it to Shlomzion Hamalka Street.
It belongs to a vast collection of photographs called the "Matson
(G. Eric and Edith) Photograph Collection," which consists of photos taken
across Palestine between 1898 and 1946.
Rex Cinema Movie Poster
The Rex Cinema served as an iconic gathering place for Palestinians
during the contentious period of the British Mandate which promised independence
to both the indigenous Palestinian people and the invading hordes of European
terrorists.
In May 1939, the first of two main terror attacks was launched by the Jewish
terrorist Irgun organization against the
theater. A second terrorist bombing by the Irgun took place during the violence
that followed the announcement of the U.N. Partition Plan in 1947. The Irgun
claimed responsibility for the destruction of the Rex Cinema. The invading
colonialist Jews formed many terrorist organizations like the Irgun – Lehi group,
Stern Gang, the Haganah… - that would later coalesce to form the nucleus of the
Israeli army we know of today.
Clipping from "The Palestine Post" dated June 2, 1939
The neighborhood of Mamilla, where the street photo above was taken, sits almost
directly on the border between East and West Jerusalem, about a 20-minute walk
from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Western Wall, two of the holiest places for the
Muslim and Jewish communities.
Note that Palestine, like many of its neighboring countries, had a small Jewish community,
mostly refugees from the pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe or pilgrims visiting
the holy sites. According to most censuses taken around the turn of the century,
there were 500,000-600,000 Palestinians and 10,000-15,000 Jews living in Palestine.

pre-Zionist Palestine, see:
It would have been more logical to create a Jewish state in
Europe. The Palestinians were not guilty of what the Europeans did. If someone
should have paid the price for the tragedy, it should have been the Europeans, most notably the Germans. But not the Palestinians. Shlomo Sand
Why should these Palestinians who had lived in Jerusalem for
centuries be expelled out of their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn could live
there? Norman Finkelstein
Zionism is very particular form of colonialism. It does not
want to enslave a people, it wants to expel it; it is a nationalism that has invented a
people, a language, and a land; simple as that! It is a gigantic
mythification of Jewish history and identities. Pierre Stambul
With pressure mounting on Israel's Terrorist Cabinet to shift to Phase 2 in its failure in Gaza, Senior Jewish Terrorist Benny Gantz is ramping up his threats against Lebanon's Hezbollah. Deaths are piling up on both terrorist sides of the border. Hezbollah, the terrorist arm of Iran in Lebanon, is now in full control of the country behind an inept or colluding Lebanese government and its army.
Hezbollah is no Hamas. It is Hamas multiplied by a hundred, both in its arsenal, its training in ten years of fighting in Syria, and the troops it musters. As Israel has so far failed to achieve its two goals in Gaza (eliminate Hamas and retrieve the captives) in three months of fighting, and says it will take many more months, all indications are that these two goals are a fake cover for Israel's intent to push Gaza's Palestinians into the Sinai, in a repeat of what Jewish terrorist organizations (Haganah, Irgun, Lehi, Stern...) did in 1948, and annex Gaza once and for all.
On the captives, many more Israeli terrorist soldiers have been killed in the Gaza fighting and the math doesn't add up: upwards of 500 soldiers dead to recover 120 captives? On the elimination of Hamas, this is an unachievable goal. Hamas, like any other resistance to foreign occupation, might be snuffed out for a while and its leadership assassinated, but it will grow back. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Israel and its imbecile US poodles labeled Yasser Arafat as a terrorist, his PLO was deemed a terrorist organization, and they assassinated dozens of PLO leadership figures (who were secular, not Islamic). Yet the PLO survived, Israel made peace with it and the PLO today runs the West Bank.
In fact, this "elimination of Hamas" objective is aspirational and has produced the opposite result: Israel's war on Gaza has been a mine gold for Hamas recruiters in the West Bank.
If we accept the premise that Israel doesn't really care for Hamas or its captives, but is really eyeing taking the Gaza real estate to build more settlements after ethnically cleansing it of its Palestinian population, then it is easy to extrapolate that premise to the south of Lebanon.
Israel is demanding the retreat of Hezbollah to the northern bank of the Litani River, some 30 Km or 18 miles from the border. Even if Hezbollah is pushed back, it can still inflict severe damage to Israel with its medium-range and long-range missiles supplied by Iran. So what gives?
It may be that Israel is uncomfortable with the large Shiite population, Hezbollah's natural incubator, in that area of Lebanon. By eliminating that Shiite environment, it believes it can significantly reduce the threat to its north. In other words, just as it is doing in Gaza, it is using the pretext of pushing Hezbollah to the Litani - knowing that Hezbollah will put up a fierce fight with potentially severe losses to Israel - to in fact push the entire Shiite population of south Lebanon further north into the Bekaa Valley's Shiite hinterland and annex the Lebanese real estate south of the Litani.
Just look at the map, and you'll see that the Litani takes a sharp turn west as it leaves the Bekaa to head for the Mediterranean. That bend in the river is a stone's throw from Israel's north, including the Israeli-annexed Syrian Golan Heights. By annexing that large swath of Lebanese territory south of the Litani, Israel's only border with Lebanon will be the river itself. Its only land border will be with Syria that has never challenged Israel's ocupation and annexation of the Golan nor has it entertained any resistance against Israel from that area.
Granted that Hezbollah can still mount attacks against the Israeli interior from the northern side of the river, but an important factor works against this possibility. Assuming that an all-out war breaks out, there will be a massive displacement of Lebanese Shiites to the north (to Beirut's southern suburb and to the Bekaa Valley; shown in purple on the map below), leaving only a minority of Shiites north of the Litani, which would deprive Hezbollah of its natural base. The other religious communities (Maronites in red, Druze in blue, Sunnis in green) north of the Litani will not allow Hezbollah to establish itself in their areas, which might lead to a full-flegded civil war pitting a hypothetical Christian-Druze-Sunni alliance against the Shiite "duo", Hezbollah (pro-Iran) and its allied pro-Syrian Shiite Amal movement. The Lebanese army is unreliable because it can always fracture along sectarian lines, like it did in the 1975 war, despite dubious claims by Israel's backer, the United States, that it has continued to boost the army's capabilities.

If this scenario were to unfold, it will no doubt cause Lebanon terrible damage for no other two reasons than
1- Israel's despair at failing in these wars to which it is not prepared. Remember that Israel's "great" victories of 1948, 1967 and 1973 were all against regular armies and across borders, not militias and urban fighting. A few days of conventional fighting and it was over. But it took Israel 33 days of bombing before it failed to eliminate Hezbollah in 2006. Fear of failing again will make it act with savagery as it is doing in Gaza.
2- In the last war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006, Hezbollah was not an integral part of the Lebanese body politic. It had no ministers in government, nor did it have representatives in Parliament. Israel targeted only infrastructure that supplied or otherwise served Hezbollah. Today, Hezbollah IS the Lebanese government. It has voided the state of its christian president and it has installed a puppet caretaker government that barely functions. This gives Israel latitude and justification to attack every and any component of the Lebanese state: army barracks, ministries, hospitals, schools, churches, mosques.... just as it is doing in Gaza.
Israel's threats are specific:
"The
stopwatch for a diplomatic solution is running out. If the world and
the Lebanese government don't act in order to prevent the firing on
Israel's northern residents and to distance Hezbollah from the border,
the IDF will do it." (Gantz)
"the situation on Israel's northern
border demands change." (Gantz)
"the war would be "deep, forceful, and surprising" with the military campaign continuing to widen to "more foci or fronts". (Gantz)
"Today
we approved a variety of plans for the future, and we need to be ready
for an offensive, if necessary," (Chief of Staff Herzi
Halevi)
It was the German people, not the Palestinian people, who killed 6 million Jews.
The Jewish escapees from the German killing fields of WWII were then transported by the British Nazis to invade Palestine and kill and displace the indigenous Palestinians.
Therefore the German Nazis, in collusion with the British crooks, are the ultimate murderers of Palestinians via the Zionists they both dispatched to Palestine.
Germany is now one of the most violent oppressors of free speech: You can't say the word Palestine in the streets. The Germans now pretend to be pro-Jew, but their methods are vintage Nazism.
You see, Germans can never imagine nuance. In the German psyche, everything is always black or white. No room for human frailty. The innate barbarity of the Germans, which they share with their own Jewish-then-Israeli population (before they massacred them), has long been a hallmark of their country: ultra-militarism, and hundreds of years of conquests and domination.
Germans killed the Jews by the millions. Then, in reaction and guilt, they killed, and are now still killing, the Palestinians by the hundreds of thousands and working on their displacement and ethnic cleansing using their former victims, now suddenly their dear friends, the Jewish Israelis.
Germans are one of the most difficult people on earth to deal with. A stunted sense of humor, a cold-blooded incapacity for compassion toward different, uncertain, weak, or doubting people. This is how Nazism thrived in Germany. With conformity to rigid hateful principles. And we are asked to believe their conversion? Imagine that for several decades between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, the Germans used charlatan science to murder handicapped, disabled, and other marginalized people whom they believed to be inferior and had to be removed from the pure German blood. Most German scientists of that time were Jewish, which explains where today's Zionists learned their racist trade against the Palestinians.
Now the Germans are taking this very same stance toward the Palestinians. Germans cannot understand or accept that there is some "resistance" by the Palestinians against the horror inflicted on them; not all Palestinians are antisemites or killers of Jews and do not deserve to be called animals and treated as such. Getting that through the thick dense heads of Germans is an impossible task because they themselves collectively treated Jews, gays, gypsies and others like animals. The German government is imposing one line of thinking: Pro-Israel and anti-Palestine. Any dissent is severely punished. Just like the other dumb Fascists across the Atlantic. Freedom of conscience? Freedom of speech? All disposable, just so no one accuses the Jew-hating Germans of being antisemitic. But Jew hatred and neo-Nazsim are embedded inside the German mind, and now again inside the German government and police.
Reports of neo-Nazi inflitration of the German police over the past several years have made it abundantly clear that Germany remains a hotbed of Nazism and xenophobia. No wonder the German government has been lax in fighting its own homegrown Nazi terrorist movements while focusing exclusively on "international" terrorism. Another generation of Germans will forget WWII and another Hitler will be re-born in Munich. It would be funny if it weren't sad. Nothing appears to have changed since WWII: Russia is a dictatorial tzarship, Britain remains the snake under the grass, and France is again veering into chaotic ineptitude in the face of the domineering anglo-saxons. Germany is the weak link in the western alliance because deep down, its "democratic" interlude since the end of WWII feels artificial and coerced by the West. Germany continues to support Putin: Earlier this year, Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock declared that the war against Russia was a mistake. The German Navy chief said that Putin deserved respect. Many experts suspect Germany's stand against Russia is only tactical.
Worse yet, the Germans can't conceive of fairness or justice by themselves. They have to be constantly told and taught how to think with fairness. Otherwise, they immediately fall back into cruelty, militarism, Fascism and self-annointed grandeur.
It is just so obvious that the guilt-mangled Germans turn into rabid pro-Jewish Israelis who, by the way, learned their Fascism and cruelty on display in Palestine from their former compatriots the Nazi Germans. After all, Israelis in their vast majority are of central European, particularly German, stock. It is so lovely to see two former enemy brothers agreeing on mutilating Palestine that never did anything to either Jews or Germans: An alliance of wealthy racist colonial evil against poor indigenous innocence.
Punishing these racist, God-crazy, Torah-thumping criminals with denial of entry visas to the US is a joke.
These mad and often fake Jews, whose reference is the fictional trash of the Torah, are killing people. Isn't this what fundamentalist God-crazy Koran-citing criminal Islamists had done to deserve the "terrorist" label?
Why the double-standard? Are Jews infallible and out of reach of human justice?
The entire human global system of concertation to avoid wars, based on universal and applicable-to-everyone principles of equality, justice, and fairness, is crumbling before our eyes. The UN should be disbanded: It is useless when the nuclear bullies make the decisions.
What dictatorship or theocracy will now be deterred from mass-murdering entire nations and minorities? They will make up a pretext and commit Israel-like atrocities, fearing no repercussions and citing Israel's freewheeling savagery on Gaza as a precedent. The Burmese dictatorship and the Rohyngas; Putin and Ukraine; China and the Uighurs, etc. This is the club that Israel has joined without suffering any reproach or being held to account.
If the world continues on this trajectory, we will soon enter another episode of humanity's history of madness, cruelty and wars....After which, maybe, if no nuclear or mass destruction weapons are used, the world may come back together in a brief instant out of fear and horror and into hope.
Israel is leading the world into such a scenario, simply because it is beyond the reach of justice.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that he was “proud” to have prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state, putting him at odds with what for decades has been the policy priority of his poodle, the United States, for the region.
But we all know that it is the tail that is wagging the dog. It is by now evident that Israel controls US policy, when the US does Israel's bidding like a faithful dog, even in the face of Israel's flagrant commission of war crimes, abhorrent violations of humanitarian laws and the laws of war. Biden keeps evading answers as to why the US does not dare challenge Israel on its horrific conduct of its war against Palestine.
"I’m proud that I prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state" Netanyahu said at a news conference.
Netanyahu also took aim at the Palestinian Authority, the governing authority in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. He described the Oslo Accords ― the 1993 diplomatic agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization that led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority ― as a “mistake,” and said he had “inherited” the agreements.
Reaction to the liar war criminal Netanyahu’s remarks was swift.
“So all those promises to world leaders about his commitment to a two-state solution were a bunch of lies,” Martin Indyk, the United States’ former ambassador to Israel, wrote on X, “And all those enablers who swore Bibi was serious about peace have some [e]xplaining to do.”
The United States has for decades prioritized the “two-state solution,” which would involve the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state, facilitated by various land swaps and other concessions from both sides. U.S. President Joe Biden has repeatedly called for a two-state solution in recent months. But it is clear now that the US is either a complete dummy in the hands of its pupetteer Israel, or has been in collusion with it, lying to the world about promoting a two-state solution and doing nothing other than issuing deceptive statements and putting cosmetic pressure on Israel. Even as the Jewish terrorists, a.k.a. the God-crazy fanatic settlers and their Israeli army accessories, are rampaging across the occupied West Bank, killing people and stealing land, a visibly powerless US has for the first time applied a tepid pressure on Israel by denying entry visas to a handful of the Jewish terrorists. What an achievement!
“As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution,” the senile and manipulated liar Biden wrote in The Washington Post on Nov. 18. Yeah! Sure!
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) characterized Netanyahu’s comments as a “direct response” to Biden’s calls for a two-state solution.
“[Netanyahu] has continued to weaken the Palestinian Authority — this is the organization that recognized Israel’s right to exist decades and decades ago,” Van Hollen said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “Instead of trying to find peace or at least preventing the conditions on the ground from changing with additional settlements to allow a two-state solution, he has shut the door on that effort.”
Netanyahu and others in Israel’s Jewish Fascist governing coalition have for years supported the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a major obstacle to any peace talks. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis now live on land that is considered by the international law and by the vast majority of the international community to be part of the Palestinian state. In 2019, Netanyahu claimed to have told then-President Donald Trump, the other demented American numskull, that he would not agree to evacuate “a single person” from Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Earlier this year, he reportedly said during a meeting with lawmakers that Israel needed to “crush” Palestinian ambition for an independent state.
So what gives? If there is no Palestinian state to be, then what is this criminal going to do with the resident 6 million Palestinians, not to mention that many more millions of expatriate Palestinians waiting in refugee camps? The only obvious answer is that the criminal rogue state of Israel is planning to expel most, if not all, of the Palestinians of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Having miserably flunked at achieving his stated objective in Gaza, namely to rescue the Israeli prisoners from Hamas's hands, with the stupid killing by his soldiers of three of these prisoners, Netanyahu’s remarks Saturday "appear to be trying to change the subject", said The New York Times. Netanyahu's future is doomed as he had been under investigation for corruption prior to October 7, and had been facing a domestic uprising for trying to clamp down on Israel's High Court in order to evade punishment.
Israel has killed nearly 20,000 Palestinians with air strikes and a ground invasion, and has displaced millions of Palestinians within Gaza.
Netanyahu and his terrorist allies in his government have made statements in support of Hamas over the years. As prime minister, Netanyahu has provided millions of dollars to Gaza through Qatar. His minister of finance, the racist terrorist-in-chief Bezalel Smotrich said in 2015: “The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset.”Which means that Israel has been propping Hamas to undermine the Palestinian Authority and thus abort any chances of a Palestinian state. With Hamas's attack on October 7, Netanyahu and his terrorist supremacist government have seen their dream come true: To ethnically cleanse Gaza, then the West Bank and East Jerusalem, remove all the Palestinians and create a Jewish-only supremacist theocracy. That is why they continue pushing the 2.3 million Palestinians of Gaza toward the Egyptian border, with a view ast expelling them into the Sinai. If Egypt continues to oppose this transfer of population, the CIA and the Mossad will put the Sissi regime in jeopardy and replace it with a more compliant regime that can be bought up to accept the Palestinian refugees.
Netanyahu himself did say in 2019 that “whoever opposes a Palestinian state must support the delivery of funds to Gaza, because maintaining separation between the PA in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza will prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
