Netanyahu to Hostage Families: Accept Your Loved Ones as Martyrs for Zionism

By insisting on his much flaunted Rafah assault, despite opposition from the entire international community, Benjamin Netanyahu is revealing two things:

1- For him, the hostage families should stop protesting and calling for a ceasefire. They should accept that their sons and daughters be sacrificed for the greater good of Israel. In his mind, the hostages are essentially Jewish suicide bombers - martyrs - who ought to be sacrificed for the greater cause. The greater cause, as he sees it, is continued expansion of the Anglo-saxon colony in Palestine, land theft, ethnic cleansing of Palestine, expulsion of the indigenous Palestinian population to make way for fresh-off-the-boat Jewish idiots from New York, etc. etc. 

The Zionists have always justified their illegal expansionist programs with security arguments: "We have to continue stealing land and killing Palestinians because they want us ill." But does he, or anyone behind him, wonder why the Palestinians want Israel ill? I'm sure they do, but they are too afraid to face the undeniable fact: 100 years ago, Palestinians made up 98% of the population, with a smattering of Jewish pilgrims visiting the Holy Sites. Today, the Palestinian hosts are in refugee camps, occupied and brutalized every day of their lives by vicious, terrorist, foreign Jewish land thieves calling themselves a "state".  

To keep the Israel charade going on in Palestine, the modus operandi of the Zionists is to always portray themselves as victims of their own victims. The Israel-Palestine affair is best summarized in this manner: Israel is the only colonial occupier rapist that demands protection from its own occupied and raped Palestinian victims.

2- Netanyahu is clinging to war and violence because he is terrorizing his own people into submission. No sooner will the war end, that he'll be dumped in the trashbin of history and most likely in prison. He faces corruption criminal charges and was behaving like an autocrat by trying to destroy the judiciary system to protect himself and have an unchallenged hold on his country's policies.

By keeping the carnage going in Gaza, he's blackmailing the Israelis who, scared as they are for the future for their Jewish Disneyland, are less likely to destitute him under the pretense of national unity. Netanyahu has magnified the October 7 attacks by Hamas to the level of a second Holocaust, which is really a joke. There is nothing comparable between October 7 and the Holocaust. The Holocaust was an unprovoked, barbaric, systematic plan by Germany and the other Nazi Europeans to rid themselves of their own Jewish communities, for no reason whatsoever. In contrast, October 7 is one in a 100-year-long series of rebellious actions by a colonized indigenous people, the victims of the Zionist rape of Palestine. It is a totally justified action of resistance against a brutal illegal foreign occupier. The alleged commission of atrocities by the Hamas attackers is a secondary consideration that should not obfuscate the underlying cause: the colonial rape and occupation by foreign invaders and land thieves of an indigenous people and its land.

But Netanyahu and his fundamentalist ultra-religious Jewish terrorists have hyped October 7 up to a level that is commensurate with a license to kill and steal more land. And now, Netanyahu is using October 7 as a buoy to keep himself from sinking.
