In the Name of Gods

Whether they be Ultra Orthodox Zionists, Opus Dei Catholics, or Islamic Shia Theocrats they are all of the same cult mind. Whether it be Bezalel Smotrich, J.D. Vance, or Mojtaba Khamenei, all are equally guilty of steering their governments and citizens towards oblivion.

While the  warring factions in Sudan are the most violent war criminals on the world stage right now with over 400,000 dead and 11 million displaced, Israel is in an unholy second place. Led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and spurred on by Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Yoav Gallant, Israel Katz, Yariv Levin and Haim Katz, the Israeli Defense Forces have now murdered over 100,000 citizens in Palestine and Lebanon with over 3 million displaced. The USA attacks led by Donald Trump and Pugnacious Pete Hegseth are credited with over 140 killed, including 110 schoolgirls. Fewer than 100 citizens in the Gulf have been killed by Iran in response to the attacks by Israel and the USA.

All in the name of gods and greed.

While Trump and the MAGATS are pushing the Republican far right Project 2025, Netanyahu and company are quietly moving the Greater Israel Project into reality. The ultra orthodox Zionist fanatics have no intention of stopping the slaughter until all countries surrounding Israel have been reduced to defenceless rubble buffer zones. So much for existential threats to Israel’s happiness and security.

The Christo-fascists in the USA apparently want to bring about the End of Days as exemplified by tech billionaire and Trump acolyte Peter Thiel lecturing in Vatican City about the coming of the Anti-Christ. Gotta love The Rapture, but just in case there is no Heaven, they’ve got their bunkers built on Kauai, the Billionaire’s Island in Hawaii.

As ceasefire and peace talks collapsed, Netanyahu declared, “The War is not over.” It should have been obvious to everyone that he never wanted the war to be over, or a ceasefire negotiated until Iran had been bombed into complete submission. To leave Iran capable of developing the kind of self-defense and security that Israeli enjoys is unthinkable to the masterminds of the Greater Israel Project. How soon we forget that Israel was the first rogue nuclear nation in the region, thank you Mordechai Vanunu.

It appears that the Ayatollahs simply wanted to maintain a theocratic hold on their population within the borders of Iran, not conquer everyone outside their borders like the the Israeli/USA confederation seems intent on doing.  In all cases, the source of their inspiration is devotion to a mythical god figure whether Judaic, Christian, or Islamic. What are the chances that these gods were all created by men and their followers wandering in the deserts of the Middle East as a way of preserving their power and real estate holdings.

2000 BCE: “Disobey me and I’ll firebomb your city!”  thundered the god of the Torah to the partying people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

2026 CE: “Give me what I want or a whole civilization will die, never to be brought back again!” “I’ll bomb Iran back to the stone ages.” “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

We’ve had 4000 years to kick the cult habit. Time for some deprogramming and healing and a lot of John Lennon’s “Imagine”… the way I see it.

 

 

 

A Bold Faced Liar

On July 28, 2025: Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, was asked about reports of chronic malnutrition and starvation in Gaza. He responded, “What a bold-faced lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza.”

However, on that same day, Associated Press reported that the UN and the World Health Organization declared on Sunday, July 27, 2025, “There have been 63 malnutrition related deaths in Gaza this month, including 24 children under the age of 5 – up from 11 deaths total the previous six months of the year.” Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 14 deaths over the last 24 hours alone.

The bold-faced liar here is Benny the Butcher, as he is known to Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. He continues to lie to the people of Israel and the world. His goal, and the goal of his far-right and ultra-orthodox supporters is not the elimination of Hamas. It is the complete elimination of Palestine and all the Palestinian peoples barely surviving in the open-air prisons of Gaza and the West Bank.

The international Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, “the leading authority of food crises” according to AP, has been warning of famine in Gaza for months, but has been unable to formally declare a famine because Israeli authorities, under orders from Netanyahu, restrict access to the Palestinian Territory.

When issuing arrest warrants for the war crimes charges against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, his former Defence Minister, the International Criminal Court stated that “both individuals intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024.”

Since October 2023, an estimated over 50,000 Palestinians have been killed. A United Nations committee found Israeli’s methods of warfare in the Gaza Strip to be “consistent with genocide” but the ICC has stopped short of calling Israel out on this front, saying that the court “could not determine that all elements of the crime against humanity of extermination were met.”

Benjamin Netanyahu is dangerously deceiving the people of Israel and spreading bold-faced lies to the rest of the world. He is a war criminal, an intentional accomplice in the murder of thousands of men, women and children, and he will face justice in this world or the next.

I hope the survivors of this conflict find peace and choose not to seek revenge. After all, “the best vengeance is to be unlike him who performed the injury.” We need a lot more shalom. The way I see it.
