I am glad of the land not proud of it - an answer to the Flag Wars.



I am glad of the land not proud of it: for from the land, from the most basic of bacteria and single celled organisms we have emerged. I am absolutely horrified at the exploitation of land and people that is the very core of European National Powers, these abject flag waving, patriarchal, misogynistic xenophobia curating  wealth-as-power cults. Take a look at this:

@egalitarianlovesongs #stitch with @Kabbage1977 #psychological #child #abuse #cognitive ♬ original sound - ❤️Corni• Egalitarian Lovesongs




If we nurtured the land and the seas, the air and the waterways and they were returned to optimal health, then I would be proud of our collective efforts to make it so, because that would be a fitting thing to bequeath to future generations....


In my tiny mind and heart, those who claim to be proud of their accident of birth identity and who wave its flags as an act of intimidation masked as loyalty are have been groomed by some dark State propaganda, they have become weaponised, some dangerously so.


The mangled corpse of a combat fatality, wrapped in a flag to disguise the horrific abuse of power that brought that person to such an ignoble and disgusting end, is not something to be proud of, it is not a worthy 'sacrifice', it is a crime scene.


Sir K Starmer knows exactly what he is doing and who and what he is serving,  and it is not the English people.
~


The British Wealth-as-Power Empire de-branded after WWII.  


It did not cede any of its 'ownership' and control of the raw materials and human assets it was controlling across the former colonies. It is best described as the Anglophone Mining and Oil Industrial Complex. 


It murdered every political leader of every former colony who dared to take control of their respective countries assets. Mossadegh in Iran is just one well studied incident. There were many.


Sir K. Starmer knows exactly why he is leading a Government that is actively participating in the Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as did Sunak before him, as did very British Prime Minister since 1915.


They refuse to allow any former colonies and countries they dominate to develop independently.


France is the same - Burkina Faso reveals this.


The only way to stop the British Wealth-as-Power (which is the driving force behind Zionist Colonial Expansion) from moving forwards, is for the English people to elect a parliament with a majority of men and women who will uphold and enforce international law, without fear or favour.


Labour is not the vehicle for that. Reform is not in a position to form the next Government, so it is not the threat is is being made out to be. It is a paper tiger riddled with incompetence and bigotry. Labour loyalists in their myopia screeched 'keep the tories out' (they were already well on their way out) and this placed Starmer and Zionism at the helm of Parliament. Now they scream 'keep reform out' in order to maintain Zionism at the helm of Parliament. This is abject.


Labour MPs who remain loyal to the Labour Party must now be told by their constituents, in clear and unambiguous language, that if they remain loyal to the party they are 100% culpable for activity ancillary to the commission of Genocide and that they WILL be held accountable, sooner or later.


Flag War Culture War


The Flag War under way is an attempt to foment a sense of civil strife within the UK, by egging on the always present racist, street thug, petty criminal and organised criminal underground to go over ground. 



Their parents have been groomed to weaponise their own children into celebratory xenophobia. Hatred.
The children's caps say 'remigration'.
Who do we hold accountable for this?


The objective is not to start civil war, it is to input disruptive rhetoric into the public political discourse, and it is also to intimidate the middle class in case they awaken to their responsibility to stand in solidarity with the impoverished, the working poor, the disabled and every other vulnerable group, including immigrants and stand together to hold the English Ruling Class to account through the full implementation of national and international law.


Most of the adults in these Flag protests are property owners, or petty landlords. They are not the working poor. 


Policing is compromised. They follow illegal orders. The proscribing of Palestine Action goes against the Geneva Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide. The problems of policing cannot be addressed unless we have decent people in a majority, as our legislators, in the House of Commons.

The House of Lords is a serious problem.


The threat accountability presents to the Ruling Class is perceived as being existential, because it is. And they are also an existential threat to all our children’s futures. So who will you stand with? Will you stand for your children and their futures?

That is the question, the fulcrum. Who do you really love, respect and care for?  


The Crown or your children, and your neighbour's children?


Justice and Accountability for Genocide will necessarily remove the existing hierarchy from power, it will reduce the wealth of the billionaires enabling genocide and it will set the pathway for global co-operation. There is no doubt about this now.

And the only people who can initiate this are the UK’s and US and EU Adult Civilian Population. We are the ones who must rein in our depraved, cruel and vicious Ruling Class.

Make Humanity Proud Again.

Bono, Wealth-as-Power, Gaza (Give to the Rich to Help the Poor!) "The Thieves with No Shame"

Give to the Rich to Help the Poor!

As an introduction to this item, a short TikTok on the courage of the Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif, recently slaughtered in his tent, trying to catch up on some sleep, among with four of his colleagues. 


This blog essay refers back to piece of polemic about Bono and his 'charidee' efforts which was written in 2009... and I decided to update it after U2 released statements on The genocide that fell far short of being honest and viable.

Bono and Label Red, a 'well meaning' scam?

Back in 2009 I had been doing a lot of reading on the American Express and Bono founded Label Red campaign

Label red was founded in 2006. The idea was that 1% of sales of goods using the Label Red marker would go to AIDS charities working in Africa. Young people were exercised on the issue of African impoverishment. Companies were seeking young people as evolving consumers....

In 2008 American Express joined the campaign, issuing new car scheme targeting younger consumers. The business objective of their campaign was to enrol a million new young customers, hopefully as life long users of the service.

What I found as I read more and more was quite disturbing, yet not at all surprising. More about that below.

Celebrity is a weapon of Wealth-as-Power.

Seeing pop stars who are incredibly wealthy stand next to political leaders who cause great harm makes sense.

Celebrities are not really real people - they are performance theatre, actors performing for the purpose of extracting wealth, and when they join the Wealth-as-Power Class they enter the class war, because they stay silent on the causes of impoverishment, warfare, racism, misogyny that emanate from the process of Wealth-as-Power extraction of wealth from exploited populations. 

Update to 2025... 

Bono and the Band U2 release public statements on The Genocide, having supported Israel and America all the way these past two years and more... their statements protect Israel, lay all the blame on Netanyahu and Hamas, evade confronting USUK and EU Governments directly, they silence the voices of Palestinians by exclusion of any mention of their voices and they amplify the bands public hand wringing escapism. Bono accepted a medal from Biden, in the midst of the Genocide - he should have rejected it publicly, if he really was going to support the Palestinian people as a public voice.


Here is just one example of the kind of false, bland, unexamined narrative Bono deploys in his 'opinion piece'. clearly he has made no effort any all to understand the details of the complexity and see what is it that complicates the Western response - what complicates the Western response is that Israel is a British Empire Weapon, since 1915 and the first insertion of European Jewish refugees... 
Bono is an Honoury Knight Commander of the British Empire. Bono's words ring hollow, masked propaganda most of his fans ought to see right through.

"Yahya Sinwar didn’t mind if he lost the battle or even the war if he could destroy Israel as a moral as well as an economic force. Over the next months as Israel’s revenge for the Hamas attack appeared more and more disproportionate and disinterested in the equally innocent civilian lives in Gaza… I felt as nauseous as everyone, but reminded myself Hamas had deliberately positioned themselves under civilian targets, having tunneled their way from school to mosque to hospital."

1. Bono has no idea what Yahya Sinwar 'minded'. Furthermore Sinwar was a representative of a larger body of people than himself, and was quite clearly not driven by self interests of any kind. His last moments demonstrated the courage that the 1916 Rising fighters, including who were executed by British Military order in 1916. Yahya Sinwar's writings and public utterances, which no doubt Bono has not pored over with any great interest, and his actions throughout his life, all of which are quite well documented, support that contention. A philosophy of courage, resistance and service to his people. Bono's sentence implies Sinwar was casual about all of this. As if he could't care less. Bono's self serving attitude leaks out.

2. The 'disproportionate' quality of the Israeli response was obvious within the first month of the Military assault. Israeli leaders had already publicly committed to a genocidal war, with leading politicians in the cabinet declaring their intent and espousing their view of Palestinians in Gaza (and the West Bank) as 'human animals'. A registry of comments by leading Israeli legislators that are quite blatantly genocidal exists and can be verified. This is not a compilation of anti-Israel propaganda. It is the self incriminations of the Israeli political leadership supported by 90% of the Israeli population.

3. "I felt as nauseous as everyone" awe, didums... Bono remained silent, as we who protested immediately, aware of what was being done, were turning sleepless nights, nursing broken hearts, trying to calm our outraged minds, witnessing horrors on our media streams we did not know were possible. Our hopes dashed repeatedly as the West refused to act according to international law. And what we were experiencing was a luxury compared to what the people of Gaza and West Bank and the Palestinian diaspora were living through. Bono's  claim that the complexity of the situation barred him from public commentary is banal, effete and ludicrous. His claim to being emotional afflicted is gaslighting.

There was no sign of nausea as he accepted an award from Biden, who was participating in the Genocide.

4. There is no reliable evidence anywhere what Hamas military wing deliberately placed themselves behind, within or under civilian infrastructure. Bono was not reminding himself of anything other than his acceptance at face value of Israeli lies, as if they were the honest truth, so cross my heart... Yes, there were tunnels, no there is not one shred of evidence of them linking civilian or religious infrastructure to evade Israeli surveillance and its bunker busting bombs, or of using civilians as shields. 

I could go on. If I am wrong here, please point it out in the comments.

~

Here's a link to their full statements on their own website - readers can read. Make up your own minds. I'm clear on where I stand.

Here follows the rest of the original blog posting...




Marina Hyde, writing in the Guardian 'comment is free' web pages outlines a fantastic new philantrophic concept designed by elites themselves, the super-duper rich.

"Give to the rich to help the poor? An idea worthy of Bono."

Satire? No - a genius really has concocted a tax proposal to put our aid budget in the hands of the super-rich"

"On Tuesday night, 100 billionaires will gather at London's sumptuous Dorchester hotel, to watch Mr Ted Turner in conversation with Ms Carol Vorderman. Ms Joss Stone will sing, and some model or other will be in attendance. Can you guess the aim of this evening, which I trust you would cross continents to avoid in the infinitely unlikely event that you had been invited? No? Then allow me to assist. The aim is to make the government give tax breaks to the super-rich, in order to tempt them to give the same percentage of income to charity as the poorest 20% of people in this country already do.

Feel free to be taken unwell. 

Initially I assumed the Fortune Forum, for so it is named, was an elaborate living satire, designed to highlight practically everything that is wrong with contemporary life. Alas, The Fortune Forum is all too real. It was dreamt up by an heiress called Renu Mehta, as a kind of vaguely benevolent mini-Davos."

Marina continues to explore this fantastic fantasy escapist world ... I think she doesn't go far enough. Like George Monbiot, she holds back the full fury of common-sense empathy and outrage.

Nonetheless, 'It' has to be said. And both are saying it with some subtlety. 


The hubris of these immensely rich people, often from long lines of generations of wealth, has become, for the majority of people, an almost pathological issue, in that it is an attitude that informs many of the practices which we know are harming rather than assisting life, geared towards gathering and hoarding 'resources' and wealth, and often with great violence, and these super rich people know this, and they continue nonetheless, sitting on charitable boards, with all that is going on around the world, driven by their pride in their immense wealth and paranoia about their 'strategic interests'.

I have re-written the song 'streets with no name' as 'thieves with no shame', as a parody. I don't sing the song, as I find the melody irksome. I do sing 'I don't like geldof' and parody of 'I don't like Mondays'..... Goldloaf at least wrote some catchy tunes...

Both have done more harm than good.

http://www.corneilius.net/songpages/theives.htm Thieves With No Shame, a re-write of 'Streets With No Name' by Corneilius

The song -  'I don't like Geldof' by Corneilius

There's also background info on Geldof and Bono business dealings and investments, and an analysis of Label Red, sponsored by Bono, American Express and the large pharmaceutical companies who control aids medicine patents.

Article on Label Red - Bono and Africa, and the clever little scam. The information on AIDS assistance is horrifying.

I have sent this out before, it's not my own research, so blessings to all the various people and ways that info flows.

And it's worth repeating, it's worth all the effort to expose these fools to their own folly, and show them how they can help, if they seriously want to help, if it is to do with their experience of their common humanity, common soul, common nature and common sense!

We'll show them how by doing it ourselves, as many are already doing. Ask Jane Goddall....

Ask the lovley people, voluteers all, who facilitated The Spike community centre evicted by Southwark Council from their home in Peckham! A home the Council are selling to property developers, handing it over to the private sector for profit.... wealth is transferred, from poor to rich yet again, another drop in the constant flow.

One the one hand the rich have charidees, and on the other hand their ideology keeps shutting these grass roots initiatives down.....!

Why I cannot vote for Labour as a party. Why I vote for Peace, never for War.

I cannot vote for a party directed by Keir Starmer, any more than I could vote for a Labour Party directed by Tony Blair after Sierre Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq 2003.


It is unacceptable that international war criminals are not held to account.


It is morbidly unjust that we live, badly ruled by international war criminals.




The situation.


The Labour Party Executive and the Labour Party Bureaucracy seeking Power in the UK  in the next few days are collectively complicit in the following. 


There is no legal doubt to this assertion.  Starmer has form. Dating before he entered Parliament. Tzipi Livni


As Directer of Public Prosecutions, he blocked a warrant being served on a War Criminal, October 2011. 


This is entirely illegal - the British Government was then, and remains today duty bound by ratified international treaty Law to serve and implement a warrant issued by the ICC if the person referred to in the warrant is on British land and such a warrant can be presented in person. 


His comments and public statements, his positions and papers issued since October 7th, maintain that bias.


Protect Israeli officials from accountability, protect the Zionist project.


Self Defence!


The geen-ocyde in Gaza is fully operational at this point, as I type there are constant military assaults upon encampments, the remaining standing buildings, plus battles with Hamas Resistance Fighters.


Both armed entities are set amongst nearly two million utterly exhausted, starving, terrified, terrorised, traumatised, wounded, maimed, shell shocked men, women, children, babies, elders. 


Medical services almost entirely degraded, in many places operations without anaesthesia, lack of medicines, there are no schools, no universities, its all gone.


In many places there is no sanitation, no running water, food is always dwindling.


And every day bullets, bombs, quad copter drones with machine guns, artillery and air strikes.


Multiple slaughters, frequent detentions, prison camps  within Israel now hold 10,000 Palestinian men, women and children. 


Estimates by external expert groups of deaths run into the hundreds of thousands, Gaza had 36 hospitals, which recorded deaths now there are less than a handful. Many thousands lie rotting under rubble, or bulldozed by the Israeli Military into the ground, covered up roughly.


Intolerable horrors, second by second, minute to minute, hour by hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, for 8 months, with no end in sight.


All of this operationalised as cruelly as possible. Every few days more living witness testimony from the detained and from within the Israeli system, as some detained are released.


The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, speaks to the press at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis after being released by the Israeli army following more than seven months of detention following a military operation at the hospital last November, on July 01, 2024. 




from November 23, courtesy Al Jazeera, after his arrest  and abduction by IOF



..... widespread institutionalised totally dehumanising and degrading treatment, some of it lethally cruel.

Industrialised cruelty. People, persons who go home to a home cooked meal, watch screen with kids, goes to sleep, gets up, goes out and does it all again next day, weathers hot, works is good - the workers, they are getting paid to do this to other captive victimised persons: perks of the job - uniforms, canteen, training, shift work, overtime, holidays, sick leave and bonuses - Job Description : to torment  an ordinary human who is personally innocent, just born to that situation by however that happens.

This is insane.

And now the American President is Above The Law!


What is this?


This is the same old Colonial Conquest, Occupation, Clearance of the native population, Settlement, extirpation of the native culture, polity, land tenure and habitation process, We know it. It must be stopped.


Self Defence? 


So say Sir Keir Starmer, beloved of Tony Blair, Peace Envoy to The Middle East, another candidate for The Hague.

The problem.


Unless we reject every Labour candidate who supports Israel in this horrific atrocity and only allow proven pro-peace candidates, we are erring on the side of a lessor evil that is an illusion. It is not a lessor evil. 


#dowhatyoulove

Nurture Culture.


I hope we can see the last generation to ever see, hear or sense warfare rampaging across their homes, and having to flee in terror, people murdered all around.


I hope as more people access each other and the vast library of what we know, what is reliably true and talk with each other about what they have found and what it implies, I think the decency of the vast majority will prevail. 


It may well take a while, it will likely be a bumpy ride, though hopefully not too bumpy. It will not be easy, It can be done..


Do what you love.

The Trade Unions Congress have a  series of practical healthy governance policy plans with regards Climate Disruption. :


https://www.cacctu.org.uk/sites/data/files/sites/data/files/Docs/climatejobs-2021-web_0.pdf


A million and more well paid jobs

A million and more well paid jobs in a Green Sustainability drive where all workers involved would be guaranteed permanent, well-paid, trade union protected jobs in work that reduces emissions, repairs land, protects communities.


It would also guarantee that workers in the old high-carbon sector are retrained with the new skills and knowledge that will be required. There's no need to make anyone unemployed, quite the opposite. We need all hands on deck!


We must not underestimate this challenge.

Peace is more than the absence of war.


The jobs are guaranteed, but ensuring the education and training programmes are in place for that huge workforce must be a significant part of the plan.


A further advantage would be that, just as the NHS provides socially useful work that many take pride being involved in, so will the National Climate Service. 


It would provide socially useful work that we could take pride in as we decarbonise the economy, address the climate crisis and create a better, safer world for future generations. 


Public ownership


Alongside the creation of a National Climate Service, it is clear that public ownership of key sectors of the economy is needed in order to make the rapid changes the crisis demands. The market has failed to deliver over many years. In sectors such as transport and renewable energy, which are key to cutting emissions, market failure results from corporations’ competition for investment and profit rather than co-ordinating and planning work that can have an impact on the climate. 


In rail, for example, competition for lucrative franchises has undermined investment in the green infrastructure we need. 


In the case of renewable energy, instead of investing in a publicly-owned renewable energy sector, government grants have ended up with private companies. 


This had not led to the rapid scaling up of this sector or to an expansion of jobs. Direct government investment in a publicly-owned energy system could ensure that a renewable energy industry is established in the UK providing many jobs. 


Public ownership is vital to transforming our



economy in response to the climate crisis. In this report, we have called for public ownership of the energy sector and the grid, of transport, of the plan to retrofit our homes and buildings and, within industry, public ownership of the steel industry and other key sectors.

Peace is more than the absence of war.

The Iron Wall - in 1923 leading Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote about the impossibility of a Two State Solution, because he understood the nature of colonialism.

February 2025, the Israeli Military Operation against the West Bank Palestinians 

Approximately 30,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced, their homes and civil infrastructure destroyed.

The Iron Wall is an essay written by Ze'ev Jabotinsky in 1923. It was originally published in Russian, as he was born in Russia as Vladimir Yevgenyevich Zhabotinsky and wrote for the Russian press.[1]

Written in 1923, by Ze'ev Jacobintsky, in the same year as The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, which was a failed coup d'état by Nazi Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic.

He wrote the essay after the British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill prohibited Zionist settlement on the east bank of the Jordan River, and formed the Zionist Revisionist party after writing it.[2]

Jabotinsky argued that the Palestinian Arabs would not agree to a Jewish majority in Palestine, and that "Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach."[1] The only solution to achieve peace and a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, he argued, would be for Jews to first establish a strong Jewish state, which would eventually prompt the Arabs to "drop their extremist leaders, whose watchword is ‘never!’ and pass the leadership to the moderate groups, who will approach us with a proposal that we should both agree to mutual concessions."

A week following the publication of this essay, Jabotinsky followed with "The Ethics of the Iron Wall," in which he argued that morality comes before everything else, and that Zionism is "moral and just," since it subscribes to "national self-determination" as a "sacred principle," which Arabs may also enjoy


The Iron Wall.


Full essay


https://en.jabotinsky.org/media/9747/the-iron-wall.pdf 


I recommend my readers to read it, it is a short read, 8 minutes or 10...


In what follows I make my own comments on the meaning of this essays and it's impact upon the shituation in Palestine.


"The Iron Wall


Original in Russian, Razsviet, 4.11.1923


Colonisation of Palestine


Agreement with Arabs Impossible at present 


Zionism Must Go Forward


"It is an excellent rule to begin an article with the most important point. But this time, I find it necessary to begin with an introduction, and, moreover, with a personal introduction.


I am reputed to be an enemy of the Arabs, who wants to have them ejected from Palestine, and so forth. It is not true.


Emotionally, my attitude to the Arabs is the same as to all other nations – polite indifference. 


Politically, my attitude is determined by two principles. 


First of all, I consider it utterly impossible to eject the Arabs from Palestine. There will always be two nations in Palestine – which is good enough for me, provided the Jews become the majority. 


And secondly, I belong to the group that once drew up the Helsingfors Programme, the programme of national rights for all nationalities living in the same State. 


In drawing up that programme, we had in mind not only the Jews , but all nations everywhere, and its basis is equality of rights.


I am prepared to take an oath binding ourselves and our descendants that we shall never do anything contrary to the principle of equal rights, and that we shall never try to eject anyone. 


This seems to me a fairly peaceful credo.

But it is quite another question whether it is always possible to realise a peaceful aim by peaceful means. 


For the answer to this question does not depend on our attitude to the Arabs; but entirely on the attitude of the Arabs to us and to Zionism."


----


In this last paragraph in this section Jacobintsky lays all the responsibility for any difficulties the Zionists might face squarely upon the Palestinian people and their resistance to being colonised. The Zionists are innocent.


He then states the following.


----


Voluntary Agreement Not Possible


"Voluntary Agreement Not Possible.


There can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestine Arabs. 


Not now, nor in the prospective future. I say this with such conviction, not because I want to hurt the moderate Zionists. 


I do not believe that they will be hurt. Except for those who were born blind, they realised long ago that it is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting "Palestine" from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority.


My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. 


I suggest that they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent.


The native populations, civilised or uncivilised, have always stubbornly resisted the colonists, irrespective of whether they were civilised or savage."


----


Jabotinsky admits that Colonialism always generates a fierce resistance amongst the people who lands are to colonised. We all know that Colonialism is inherently an evil process, a cruel and bloody one.


As he processes into this essay he makes it quite clear what the true stance of Zionism is, all the time seeking to absolve the Zionist project of any culpability.


The phrase 'the most moral army in the world' is drawn from this essay. Read on to see it’s roots, and the soil in which that false flag is planted.


----

Colonisation.


"It does not matter at all which phraseology we employ in explaining our colonising aims, Herzl's or Sir Herbert Samuel's.


Colonisation carries its own explanation, the only possible explanation, unalterable and as clear as daylight to every ordinary Jew and every ordinary Arab.


Colonisation can have only one aim, and Palestine Arabs cannot accept this aim. It lies in the very nature of things, and in this particular regard nature cannot be changed.


The Iron Wall 


We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the Palestinian Arabs in return for Palestine. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. So that all those who regard such an agreement as a condition sine qua non for Zionism may as well say "non" and withdraw from Zionism."


----

Two State Solution as a strategic weapon of hopeless hope.


The Two State solution was always dead in the water. It was never at the centre of Zionist aspirations, from the get-go, and the aspirations of the Two State Solution promoted to Western Audiences was always a strategic tactic, designed to enable the colonisation to move ahead, protected by Hope. The Hope of The Western audiences.


Zionists, and importantly, the Ruling Class in the West fully understood this strategic tactic and played along, delaying the necessary awakening amongst the western electorates, to buy the Zionists time to 'change the facts on the ground' through mass immigration of Jewish people, and settlement, and then by conquest and occupation, and now by total destruction of Palestinian civil and social and economic and political infrastructure.


---


Jabotisnky proceeds.

Here Jabotinsky sets ups the claim that Zionism is inherently Moral, and that outside forces should back it all the way.

——

The Iron Wall


"Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. 


Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population – behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.


That is our Arab policy; not what we should be, but what it actually is, whether we admit it or not. 


What need, otherwise, of the Balfour Declaration? Or of the Mandate? 


Their value to us is that outside Power has undertaken to create in the country such conditions of administration and security that if the native population should desire to hinder our work, they will find it impossible.

And we are all of us ,without any exception, demanding day after day that this outside Power, should carry out this task vigorously and with determination.


In this matter there is no difference between our "militarists" and our "vegetarians". 


Except that the first prefer that the iron wall should consist of Jewish soldiers, and the others are content that they should be British.


We all demand that there should be an iron wall. 


Yet we keep spoiling our own case, by talking about "agreement" which means telling the Mandatory Government that the important thing is not the iron wall, but discussions. Empty rhetoric of this kind is dangerous. And that is why it is not only a pleasure but a duty to discredit it and to demonstrate that it is both fantastic and dishonest.”


Zionism Moral and Just


“Two brief remarks:


In the first place, if anyone objects that this point of view is immoral, I answer: It is not true: either Zionism is moral and just ,or it is immoral and unjust. 


But that is a question that we should have settled before we became Zionists. Actually we have settled that question, and in the affirmative.


We hold that Zionism is moral and just. And since it is moral and just, justice must be done, no matter whether Joseph or Simon or Ivan or Achmet agree with it or not.


There is no other morality."

This then lays out the coffin of Palestinian self determination, the sarcophagus of their human rights, the entombment of their land tenure and polity, the grave that is the erasure of their culture and their peoples from those lands, and ultimately the denial of their natural right to live peacefully on the land they have lived on for thousands of years, long before the advent os Judaism, Christianity or Islam.


The question then becomes how many nails must be used to ensure that the coffin lid is firmly shut, and cannot be re-opened.


The assault on Gaza is one of those nails. 


The settlements across the West Bank are another bag of nails.


USUK unconditional support for their pet colonial project is another. That support is strategic in that it is designed to enrage, divide and destabilise the entire Arab polity.


The lack of detailed understanding of the history, the genesis of the so-called Israel -Palestine 'conflict' amongst the voters of the Western Christian Colonial States is another nail.


My task here is to describe those nails, to describe the hammer striking those nails. 


The hammer is the collective Euro-Centric commercial interests, operating under the false flag of race superiority. Blair's odious 'clash of civilisations' articulated this in blatant terms, albeit misunderstood by Western audiences, as intended. 


Our task as a democratic peace loving population is to ensure our Governments do not facilitate the hammer, that the nails already hammered in are removed, gently and with care, such that the Zionists (and all colonialists and Neo-colonialists) are isolated from our collective legislatures where they wield undue influence and that they are eventually placed where they cannot harm the Palestinian people or any other people, for that matter.


Free Palestine! 


Free Western Democracy!  


Free us all from the abject, venal and cruel Ruling Class Establishment who have operated the colonial process for centuries.

The two are inextricably linked.


Kindest regards
