The Psychology of a culture is revealed and perpetuated in how they relate to and treat their children and in how they relate to and treat the most vulnerable people within their society. Heal that and we can heal everything.
This Tuesday, March 26th, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine and the (illegally) Occupied Territories, working for the United Nations Human Rights Commission, held a press conference to announce confirmation that Israeli MIlitary Assault and Occupation of Gaza has met the first 4 of 5 conditions required to define the action as a Genocide.
The Genocide Convention codifies genocide as “any of the [specified] acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”
Accordingly, the crime of genocide comprises two interconnected elements:
(a) The actus reus: the commission of any one or more specific acts against a protected group, namely:
(i) killing members of the group;
(ii) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(iii) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(iv) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(v) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
and
(b) The mens rea: the intent behind the commission of one or more of the above- mentioned acts that must be established, which includes two intertwined elements:
(i) a general intention to carry out the criminal acts (dolus generalis), and
(ii) a specific intention to destroy the target group as such (dolus specialis).
Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for for the United Nations Human Rights Commission for Palestine and the (Illegally) Occupied Territories, has asserted, with evidence to support the claim, that Israel and its allies have broken the first four elements of the Genocide Convention, and have fulfilled the mens rea element.
As an elected democratic governance official you represent the total population of the Constituency, irrespective of individuals choice of parties - you represent the people who did not vote for, as much as any other.
As as an elected democratic governance official you are duty bound to uphold the Law, without exception. There is a moral element to this too which you cannot avoid.
I sincerely call upon you, as a constituent whom you represent, to present my concern that the Law regarding genocide is upheld in fully , by His Majesty’s Government and his Majesty’s Opposition and that you represent this in Parliament, as the earliest possible moment, and that you reply to me having done so, with proof of having done so.
I humbly request that you to take the appropriate action(s) to uphold the Law , to do your duty as my political representative, because I cannot walk into Parliament and make my case - that is your job.
I hope that you agree with me that the civilian population of Palestine need every possible action taken to to stop this atrocity, immediately, without any preconditions set that would impede cessation of the genocidal violence being perpetrated upon them, even as I write.
If you fail in this - without adequate explanation - I will consider you to be actively complicit in enabling this Genocide, as a member of the UK Parliament, the Democratic Governing Body of the United Kingdom.
I will take action, with others, within the Constituency to follow up on that, either way, without fear or favour.
I beg you to do the right thing, to not remain silent on this matter, to speak out on my behalf in the House of Commons and elsewhere. Let us stand together in solidarity on this matter.
Yours Sincerely....
Kindest regards

How do we talk about the unspeakable, atrocities that are perpetrated in war and …other forms of abuse and violence perpetrated against vulnerable populations..?
31,000 known murders, many more buried under the rubble, 2 million people facing deliberately imposed starvation, a call for ceasefire repeatedly ignored, billions witness the disgusting violence and maiming on their mobile phones.
Judith Herman has written on this in her book ‘Trauma and Recovery - The Aftermath of Violence - From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Lewis_Herman
"“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.”
“The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma.”
― Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery:
“The ORDINARY RESPONSE TO ATROCITIES is to banish them from consciousness. Certain violations of the social compact are too terrible to utter aloud: this is the meaning of the word unspeakable.
Atrocities, however, refuse to be buried. Equally as powerful as the desire to deny atrocities is the conviction that denial does not work. Folk wisdom is filled with ghosts who refuse to rest in their graves until their stories are told. Murder will out. Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims.
The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma. People who have survived atrocities often tell their stories in a highly emotional, contradictory, and fragmented manner that undermines their credibility and thereby serves the twin imperatives of truth-telling and secrecy. When the truth is finally recognized, survivors can begin their recovery. But far too often secrecy prevails, and the story of the traumatic event surfaces not as a verbal narrative but as a symptom.
The psychological distress symptoms of traumatized people simultaneously call attention to the existence of an unspeakable secret and deflect attention from it. This is most apparent in the way traumatized people alternate between feeling numb and reliving the event. The dialectic of trauma gives rise to complicated, sometimes uncanny alterations of consciousness, which George Orwell, one of the committed truth-tellers of our century, called "doublethink," and which mental health professionals, searching for calm, precise language, call "dissociation." It results in protean, dramatic, and often bizarre symptoms of hysteria which Freud recognized a century ago as disguised communications about sexual abuse in childhood. . . .”
― Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence - From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror
The only way to describe atrocity is to describe EXACTLY what happens, for example, when a missile strikes a house, followed by another.
What happens in the milliseconds of explosion, fireball, blast wave, air suction and what that did to the peoples bodies in those moments, and what happens when the building collapses, what that does to the bodies on the moments, what happens when the collapse completes, what happens to the bodies crushed, what happens to the survivors, and their thoughts and feelings and sensations before, during and afterwards...
We can then listen to the first responders, neighbours and others who rush into help in what ever way they can, in particular when all they have are their hands and bodies to move rubble, extract survivors and bodies, take them to hospitals etc, etc, etc....
And then describe the way the person issuing the targeting command, location and number of missiles, and his or her command chain, and what happens when they clock off, and go home to their comfortable homes, to cook meals, play with their children, watch a movie, go to sleep, wake up and do it again.
Multiplied by the number of people adversely affected and all the down stream harms that follow, listening carefully to the survivors because their lived experience is first hand evidence of what that was like...
We could also talk about the designers of the missiles, what research they did, how they tested the missiles, who they understood exactly what their designs do to people and buildings...
There are no adjectives to describe this. Just the raw honest data.
Justice and Repair
Judith Herman has recently published a follow up book looking at how Survivors think and feel about justice.
“From one of America’s most influential psychiatrists, an “extraordinary” and “profound” ( New York Times ) manifesto for reimagining justice for survivors of sexual trauma
The #MeToo movement brought worldwide attention to sexual violence, but while the media focused on the fates of a few notorious predators who were put on trial, we heard far less about the outcomes of those trials for the survivors of their abuse.
The conventional retributive process fails to serve most survivors; it was never designed for them. Renowned trauma expert Judith L. Herman argues that the first step toward a better form of justice is simply to ask survivors what would make things as right as possible for them. In Truth and Repair , she commits the radical act of listening to survivors. Recounting their stories, she offers an alternative vision of justice as healing for survivors and their communities.
Deeply researched and compassionately told, Truth and Repair envisions a new path to justice for all.”
Survivors and Justice - a story of resilience, persistence, determination and humane spirit.
Here is a astonishing story of one person who was kidnapped as a child having already been sexually assaulted by neighbours, unbeknownst to his parents, because he was unable to speak.
"Although it happened more than 60 years ago, Antonio Salazar-Hobson remembers every detail of his kidnapping. He says that if he closes his eyes, he is instantly taken back to that hot Sunday afternoon in 1960 when he was a four-year-old boy standing with his brothers and sisters in the red dust of his back yard on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona.
Nearby, at the bottom of a short passageway connecting the back yard to the road out of town, a car is idling.
A white man is leaning out of the window, calling Salazar-Hobson’s name. He is very afraid of this man and the woman sitting next to him in the passenger seat. His older brother and sister are also afraid. They have been told by their parents, who are out working in the fields, that they must not let Salazar-Hobson go anywhere with the couple in the car. He can hear the fear in their voices as they call out: “Thank you very much, but Antonio can’t come for ice-cream.”
Then, suddenly, the man is out of the car and moving at astonishing speed towards them. As the children stand frozen with terror, he swoops down on Salazar-Hobson, lifting him up and carrying him away. He throws him into the backseat and the car accelerates away, leaving his brothers and sisters screaming in the dust. In just a few hours, the car will have crossed over the border into California. It will be another 24 years before Salazar-Hobson sees his family again.
What happens to Salazar-Hobson in the time between his kidnapping and his return to his family is so horrifying that it is almost impossible to comprehend. After being snatched from his back yard, he is taken into a nightmarish landscape of sex trafficking, violence and exploitation, where the rest of his early life is spent in an endless loop of fear, pain and loneliness.
Yet Salazar-Hobson’s story is so much more than the evil that was done to him. Rather than being broken by what he experienced, he instead rose from the ashes of his stolen childhood to accomplish extraordinary academic feats and become one of the US’s most successful labour rights attorneys, representing vulnerable and powerless communities, and dedicating his life to justice and compassion. “I chose not to be obliterated by the abuse and trauma I was forced to endure,” he says. “Instead of being swallowed by the darkness, I survived by walking towards the light.”"

In Ireland the necessary process of Justice and Repair has been underway for 40 years and is as yet unfinished. Many, many Institutions of Care entrusted to State and Church covered up the most egregious predation of innocents, men, women and children which enabled the predators to continue to cause avoidable harms to hundreds of thousands of vulnerable innocents for 70 years and more, since the inception of the Irish State.

I make a distinction between the Institution and the person.
The babies born into the institution are always exploited to maintain the institution. The Institution of Monarchy is inherently adverse and corrupt - a hierarchy of power and wealth is an unhealthy cult, wherever it has emerged, it has caused more harm than any of the goods claimed can ever redress.
I wrote this poem to articulate my understanding of this.
_ Royal Babies _
Being born
Into a Family
that dictates
the parameters
of your entire life
in order to
meet the needs of
a thousand year old
Hierarchy of Power,
Wealth and Violence.
That
Is not an easy place to end up.
The person is not the Institution.
The Institution exploits the person.
Abolish the Institution,
free the family,
free their children,
free the people
and
let us
keep it humane
and
just.
Remember this :
when we dehumanise the person,
we maintain the divide.
~
_
Elevating or degrading a person for institutional purposes is the same thing - it is dehumanisation. Given the vast harms of violent hierarchies the reality is those harms are not in any way redressed by any of the claims of good done - they only way to solve those harms is to admit them fully, admit the need for accountability and reparations and admit the inherent corruption of Hierarchy of Wealth and Power, dismantle them and build egalitarian, democratic, deliberative, responsive governance structures that meet the needs of the people.

Lizz Truss, Steve Bannon White Nationalist Love Cruise to .....

not sure if they have the course set correct, or that they have the wind in their sails.
a bit desperate, unhinged, loopy loop insane and dangerous...
One thing the writer, Peter Jukes, does not write into this article is the back story to SCL, concerning its parent company and their involvement in multiple elections in multiple countries, prior to FarceBark and Cambridge Analytica.
SCL was active in 30+ states, covering 100+ elections, no one is sure these are the exact number. Their activity crossed many boundaries and they were not alone in this kind of organising 'messaging' - Cognitive Warfare.
They were part of a trend in the Conservative party indicated by David Camerons creation of The Behavioural Insights Team as a sub office of the Cabinet Office.
Nudge as a tool of policy. Nudge is in the wrong hands a methodology of manipulation circumstances and social-material space as behavioural modification, into behaviours deemed more appropriate by who knows who, who is likely avoid of all human empathy for the objects of their interest. Cold hearted. Anti-Social.
World map : SCL/Cambridge Analytica - election interference
makes for interesting reading, no conspiracy theory, just business as usual : psychometric neuro-marketing operating in the political domain, exploiting emotional, psychological vulnerabilities.
I think that is really cruel. Don't you?
But yeah, election interference, who does that?
The deployment of cognitive warfare in practice is operating on an industrial scale, funded by right wing white nationalist wealth in USUK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and now in Ireland, and everywhere.
All those memes that get yer emotions going, one way or the other.... they have a utility beyond out entertainment.
I call this practice Political Grooming. Brexit is a useful, informative case study
Nudging public and online and private debate into more bigoted, discriminatory, authoritarian, and othering space, normalising it as just another political view point, rather than the social-material abuse vector it is. A population has to be groomed into accepting 'war as part of the way it is, part of business as usual and our side are the good guys'. That is a learned behaviour.
Who instructs to habituate such behaviour?
Political Grooming is real and a present threat in our political, cultural, social and private intimate space (our minds and hearts) because it ‘floods the zone with shit’ as a certain Steve Bannon has written and said, a number of times, in different ways, depending on who he is targeting.
Stevie B! is just the front man - the production crew are the various billionaires who fund all this, and who exploit the Christian Fundamentalists urge for theocracy to set up a ‘might is right’ war economy and protect the Fossil Fuel and Pharma and Chemical and Mining and Logging and Farming and Military Industrial Corporations from necessary accountability. Or at least that is the sense I make of it all.
A class war.
The owners, as Rulers, with vast Wealth, deployed as a weapon vs the Subjects, and anyone who threatens the power of the ruling class, they are enemies.

The Problem of Adversarial Politics - Bullying as a modus operandi.
a brief overview
Adversarial dynamics and struggles for power tend towards bullying as an underlay for the flooring of 'debate' - the point is to win, rather than to arrive at an accurate understanding that informs and reassures all involved.
"In good conversation, there is neither victor nor vanquished - there is only better informed and reassured participants."
"The party political system is historically adversarial. It evolved out of past feudal landlord and commoner confrontations.
It became even more politically divisive with industrialization.
It retained consensus support and remained viable as long as its authorities were in effective control.
The hierarchie's political adversaries and grass roots activists could be criminalised and exiled. Poverty and poverty based crime could be contained by criminalising the impoverished, building more jails and by 'transportation' of the convicted poor and many more impoverished people as indentured workers to build colonies on foreign lands, at the expense of the native peoples.
But with communications that help to establish a separate culture for the under privileged, and with the availability of weapons, effective control of the alienated became ever more difficult.
With economic growth in industrialisation and their democracies there has evolved a dominant middle class. Its members have no desire to be caught in the cross fire of any historical we-they confrontation.
The press, radio and television and, more recently, social media have brought to its attention the absurdities of party political debate as a decision making process.
Furthermore, the members of the dominant `capital' and `labour' parties are now seen to be in conflict largely for personal career reasons, not because of policy differences.
There is a growing consensus that the problems civilization face must be tackled by less adversarial processes in which analysis and reason prevail."
Political Grooming and 'wedge' politics are designed to exacerbate the adversarial dynamics.
Use of dehumanising language targeted the perceived adversaries and marginalised groups within society is evident everywhere.
The term 'sheeple' is a good example of that process, in that it inspires a sense of superiority among those who would use the term to describe others, who are deemed inferior.
The lack of humane understanding, the lack of empathy and the reliance on incomplete or inaccurate 'information' bias and curated bigotry are all stimulated by the term 'sheeple'.
This is one example familiar to me within my own situation and I cite it here because so many among my contemporaries, left and right, feel it is fine to use that term. I have always been appalled by that term.
I find that when I challenge it, I experience push back, dismissal and derision and an unwillingness to explore the meaning of use of such terms.
'Sheeple' is no less dehumanising than 'towel heads' or 'faggots' or 'dykes' or any number of similar terms.
Debate or Discourse?
Adversarial dynamics and struggles for power tend towards bullying as a underlay for the flooring of 'debate' - the point is to win, rather than to arrive at an accurate understanding that informs and reassures all involved.
"In good conversation, there is neither victor nor vanquished - there is only better informed and reassured participants."
"Very few people, when put to the test, have the integrity and moral courage to stand up against bullying, harassment, abuse, threats and corruption. The targets of adult bullying are selected often because they DO have the moral courage to challenge; many people will pass by on the other side.
A target of adult bullying is most often chosen because of their strength, not their weakness. Research shows that targets of bullying tend to have highly developed empathy, and sensitivity for others, a high degree of perceptiveness, high moral values, a well-developed integrity, a strong sense of fair play and reasonableness, a low propensity to violence, a reluctance to pursue grievance, disciplinary or legal action, a strong forgiving streak and a mature understanding of the need to resolve conflict with dialogue.
Often, targets of bullying are independent, self-reliant and “different” in some way. Weak people often disingenuously confuse these hallmarks of character with weakness.
Bullies aim to inflict psychological injury more often than physical injury. Their main aim is to control, discredit, isolate and eliminate their target.
The word “victim” also allows disingenuous people to tap into and stimulate other people’s misconceptions and prejudices of victimhood which include the inference that the person was somehow complicit in the abuse. (See just-world fallacy and victim-blame narrative).
I use the word “target”, which is also accurate because bullying involves the intentional singling out of a person or group for abuse.
Bullies, who have no integrity, are vindictive, aggressive, demanding, and regularly violate others’ boundaries; displaying aggression does not respect peoples’ rights, and a bully’s “requests” come with a negative consequence if the course of action demanded by the bully is declined.
A bully’s bad behaviour is entirely his or her responsibility, they intend to cause their targets harm, to undermine them and damage them socially, emotionally, psychologically and sometimes, physically. And they often do."
Corbyn - making an example
Jeremy Corbyn and the false anti-Semitism, ‘friend of terrorists’, ‘communist spy’, ‘protest politician’ and ‘he’s unelectable’ charges laid against him present a recent and very well documented example of this dreadful behavioural dynamic. It’s sole purpose was to prevent a genuinely honest politician with a track record for integrity, honesty, empathy and a good understanding of the issues facing the body politic and society at large from gaining the position of Prime Minister, with a majority in the House of Commons.
That bullying campaign was perpetrated within the Labour Party by a group who were aligned with Blairism (and its wars) and this was replicated throughout the News Media and online, through social media micro targeting campaigns, funded and supported by those concerned with Wealth Extraction and their power to protect Wealth Extraction from accountability for the avoidable harms it refuses, repeatedly, to avoid.
Healthy Governance - avoiding avoidable harms.
The function of a healthy governance system is to maintain and support the population in living well and at peace.
Part of that process is the deployment collective resources to avoid avoidable harm and to prevent preventable harms.
There are harms that cannot be avoided and there are harms that can be avoided.
War can be avoided. War can be prevented.
However as we see, again and again War is not avoided and we know too well that within war the murder of civilians and the destruction of civil infrastructure which form the essentials for ‘living well’ - schools, health care facilities, housing, roads, utilities - which are the basic human right of a civilian population caught in the crossfire of warfare - tends not to be avoided, more often than not by conscious choice. The destruction is intentional, not accidental.
Collateral Damage : A euphemism designed to throw a veil over the realities of warfare.
We cannot stop a violent hurricane from causing destruction - we can however build infrastructure designed to withstand the impact of such natural catastrophes. We could deploy resources to protecting the affected people’s welfare, supporting them in the recovery process.
Resilience
Rather than raw personal human resilience, we could choose to build in resilience as an infrastructure policy and thus offer more effective and efficient support for the people made vulnerable by the storm.
Likewise, regards Climate Disruption, we cannot stop the process underway because it is the result of a few centuries of build up of Carbon Dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere that will take centuries to reverse. We can reduce or stop further pollution yet the effect of such action will take decades to be felt.
What we can do is design resilience into infrastructure, social care, wealth sharing, aid systems and so on to offer best support and protection of the people made most vulnerable by Climate Disruption - that would be a matter of avoiding avoidable harms in the near, medium and long term.
Bullying in politics is lethal.
Bullying in politics undermines all these objectives and more by at attacking the proponents of equitable industrial, social and economic policy as a method of defending the status quo, a status quo born of adversarial violence as described in the beginning of this piece.

It is not that history repeats, and lessons are not learned - it is that when it comes down to it, hagiography is a dishonest history and the Hierarchy Wealth Extraction bullies behave with the same patterns of behaviour passed from generation to generation, culture to culture, as their normalised behaviour and will do so until we ordinary healthy people organise politically to remove them from positions of Power and then start the process of holding them to account for their crimes before the Law, in courts. More than punishment the objective is to prevent future abuses of Power, to enable repair of harms to what ever degree is possible and to record an honest history.
Plantations in Northern Ireland
Plantations on Turtle Island
Plantations in West Bank and Gaza -This 2024 event is in New Jersey, USA.
Why the two state solution has died - from the Israeli/USUK perspective Palestine has all but vanished, and all the is left is the Palestinian people.

Partition : The policy of partition practiced by European Christian Wealth and Power Hierarchies has fuelled identity based oppression and resistance. That has been exploited by those Euro-Christian political hierarchies for at least 500 years.
Plantation : 'Inviting' a settler population to occupy conquered land, with the objective of creating a bugger population who will assist in the erasure of the indigenous land tenure and polities.
Partition is a long term weapon, a stealth attack that exploits internalised identities, and sets neighbours against each other. In this blog I am taking a brief overview of the long term impact of inserting a Partitioned Ethno-religious Colonising State into the Middle East as a long term destabilisation project.
This is not a detailed thesis - there are many others better versed in scholarship who can certainly offer a useful critique of this small pamphlet.
I am always interested learning more. I know I don't know how much I don't know. My take is that one must look at the behaviour patterns of Power, observe the outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable populations. I work on the assumption that repeat patterns with similar outcomes at this level indicate conscious intentionality. They know the harm they will cause and they intend it to happen. At the very least they are careless as to the welfare of the colonised...
Trace each of these imposed borders deliberately splitting ancient ethnic groups, and setting them against each other (Rwanda Genocide, South African Apartheid were a direct result of that policy).
The Europeans in Africa.
The British Empire in India - Bear in mind the Opium Wars, exporting drugs from India to China.
Ireland was subjected to a series of 'plantations' - the introduction of a foreign population to take lands cleared violently of native peoples.
The English Ruling class perceive themselves as a 1000 year continuity since 1066. They think and plan long term is ways no electorate has ever been capable of.
Winston Churchill compares the Palestinians, as a people and as a polity, in 1937 to the dog in the manger after reading the Peel Commission which suggested partitioning British mandated Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. Churchill said of the Palestinians in 1937:
Churchill summed up their attitude as follows :
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
Straight up Racism. For profit.
This view defines every strategy and tactic deployed by White European Christian Powers to maintain their dominance, and it is for this that they undermined so many Governments across the global south.
The purpose of this was to ensure European control of cheap labour and cheap mineral and other resources, across the Global South, and to prevent those polities from ever developing independent economic models deploying their own resources for themselves, building economic systems which might stand as equals to the Euro-Diaspora Capitalist Economic model.
1. Why did the British Empire insert a Zionist Religious-Ethno state into the Middle East?
2. Look to all the other partitions and borders drawn by the British Empire. What did those partitions do to the indigenous peoples?
3. Look at the long term impact of those partitions and borders. What happened?
Tension between favoured and disfavoured groups, along religious or language group lines, caused by the splits across indigenous identities.
4. Internalised identity is felt by the person holding that sense of identity to be the very core of their psyche.
Any challenge to that very personal sense of identity is perceived as a direct existential threat.
Which leads to a fight or flight reaction.
Emotional self regulation is shut down, the forebrain goes off-line, and an irrational level of fear and rage is triggered.
Look at the settler communities in each colony partition. Notice the self-righteous irrational extremes of violence.
Ammunition for violence, long term violence, centuries of violence, passed from generation to generation via identity.
5. In every partition we see long term tensions that span centuries, that disable the emergence of independent polities and economic systems.
That is the observed outcome and I suggest the ultimate objective of partition and arbitrary borders imposed on contiguous indigenous populations.
6. The Zionist project was inserted after 1917 because the Arab and Persian polities were sitting on the next new fuel - Oil. Oil became important after WWI because it became the fuel of Warfare: Navies had relied on coal and sail prior to WWI.
It also became the fuel of mechanised infantry, air forces. It also became the feed stock for ammunition, and later on fertilisers and a range of synthetic products. An entirely new economy based on control of a single resource. The English had no known oil reserves in Great Britain. They had to get it somewhere.
7. Because the Empire is Racist, they detested the possibility that their inferiors - the Arabs and Persians (Iranians), the Chinese, the Africans and others might develop independent polities, and they also feared the emergence of independent economies that might stand as equals to the British, and even build different kinds of economies. Arab and African also Socialism emerged after WWI.
8. Spite and greed.
9. Israel has generated violent tension in the Middle East in the same way Northern Ireland Plantations of the 1600s did in Ireland.
9. Israel is not influencing the British Establishment - it has always been the other way around.
10. The formation of The Zionist State has less to do with the Holocaust than we are led to believe. The Zionist project was initiated after the British Empire had defeated and dismantled the Ottoman Empire, during WWI.
The Holocaust - a most horrific murderous campaign of extermination of Jewish people in Germany and across Eastern Europe was in all honesty a European Christian crime, a continuation of centuries of horrific intentional oppression and violence perpetrated against Jewish Communities as a political strategy, that old sordid tactic of othering one group to distract the majority population from the abuses of the Christian establishment. European powers did nothing much to prevent either phenomenon, Holocaust or Pogrom.
11. Just as they are doing nothing today to prevent the Palestinian Genocide. In spite of their claims to be the best and most moral upholders and representatives of Democracy on Earth, defenders of freedom and the stalwarts of International Law, etc etc etc.
12. However, for the British Establishment it looks better to suggest Israel is the malign influence - they can easily conflate anti-Semitism with anti-Zionist occupation and colonisation, and exploit European perceptions of guilt to protect their insert.
13. The only populations who can stop the UK Establishment are the UK population, and the same applies to the US and EU populations. However, the carefully curated divisions among us at this time make this impossible.
14. Humane solidarity that bridges the divides is the only trajectory we can develop to counter all this violence and abuse of Power. Intersectionality matters because it brings all forms of oppression under one umbrella.
Full text of the Arab Leagues presentation before the International Court of Justice February 26 2024
"Palestine was legally a single territory with a single population enjoying a right of self determination on a unitary basis."
It is well worth reading the presentation, because it states the facts as they really are.
What do you think of this analysis?

also: Misogyny is a partition long term planning tool of dominance. Hence the reversal of Roe vs Wade in USA. Identity weaponised to garner votes to gain illegitimate access to democratic power.
