Stephen Wise speaks the truth at a conference in New York 1931

Those of us who read History from the perspective of the most vulnerable people and their lived experience in the shadow of the decision made by the most powerful class, the ruling class, see through the propaganda and romanticisation of Kings, Great Leaders, Nationalist Hagiographies and claims of progress and civilisation.

Jonathon Edwards: A Christian Zionist fixated upon Fire, Brimstone and Beauty. Beauty?

We know that Zionist was an English Calvinist ideology, born in 1580, in London, curated by the British Empire which emerged after the English Civil War and the Industrial Revolution funded by slavery, the Opium wars and colonial conquests. So much needless suffering so that yet another series of venal Wealth-as-Power Cults could call themselves progressive cultures.
The Protestant Plantations of Ireland under Cromwell became a model for future colonial 'best practice'.
"

Calvinist Christian Zionism 

originated from Puritanism in the 16th and 17th centuries, with figures like  Martin Bucer and Peter Martyr Vermigli who  forwarded a biblical exegesis which included an important role for the Jews, converted to Christianity, in the end times Jonathan Edwards believing Jewish return to Palestine was essential for Christ's Second Coming and the spread of the gospel. 
This theological concept of restorationism was later revived by British parliamentarians in the 19th century, such as Lord Shaftesbury, influencing policy toward a Jewish presence in Palestine for their own religious goals, which was a precursor to modern political Zionism. "

The Calvinists assumed a dark belief that to bring forth the return of The Messiah (Jesus 2.0) all Jews had to be returned to the lands of Judea, initiating a global war for Christianity, waged by God, Jesus and Christians, and that 1/3rd of all Jews would convert and be saved, the rest and all other peoples of any faith or none would perish, and thus a fully Christian Earth would emerge, fulfilling the Biblical order to hold dominion over the Earth.
Curated as a geopolitical weapon, anti-Jewish under its pallid skin, a skin torn from the Jewish Faith and Diaspora, and reshaped as a mask. They wanted to move all Jewish people from Europe to anywhere else, and Palestine was the final destination. 
Ze'ev Jabotinsky, a leading Zionist wrote a letter to all Zionists in 1923, titled 'The Iron Wall' extolling the inherent morality of the Zionist Cause, and thus the correctness of the necessary violent conquest of the lands already long inhabited by Arab Jews, Christians, Muslims, Sufi, Zoarstrians, Bedouins and secularists.... This was well known by the British Empire Ruling Class, they read his letter amongst many other Zionist diatribes, and understood their implications perfectly well.
Stephen Samuel Wise inadvertently laid bare this piece of history at the Zionist Conference held in New York, in 1931, attended by Lloyd George and other luminaries of the Empire and of Zionism.
Anti-Jewish oppression was rampant, as it had been since the Middle Ages, and in European power circles it was a favourite after dinner topic amongst the wealth and powerful as they chugged of cigars and fine brandy, the men of means chatting shit about how great there were.

Power, Gaza, indifference and compassion

To those who claim that Hamas or any of the resistance groups of the Palestinian nation (who are as the Maquis in France were to the German Occupiers in WWII) are equally to blame for the current war in Gaza I say this. 

When you live on the land, and eat of it’s fruits, drink it’s water, breathe it’s air, excrete your waste (which is manure more than it is waste, it is the return of what is not required, for re-use) you are truly made of that land, therefore you identify with that land and the land owns you more than you own it. 

That is why the Israeli Government pushed the settlement of occupied and annexed lands - they understand the power of that connection to land, to place that is built up by those who work land, whose food, water and air feeds and holds them. 

That’s a thing one protects to the end. The Palestinians in Gaza, once lived in what is now called Israel, and they ate of the land, they drank it’s water, tended the farms and olive groves, the shat on the ground and breathed it’s air - and the land owned them. 

They had been there a long time, time enough for each rock, each blade of grass, each olive tree to be embedded in the specific consciousness of their very lives, and their culture. 

The Palestinians were forced ( like may others in other placers throughout ‘history’ ) starting in 1947, to move from those lands, lands they had lived on for many, many generations, land they were deeply embedded in. Violently. 

Extremely violently. 

By the British Empire and the UK Government and by the Israeli Government. One a proxy for the other. Such is history. 

That violence unresolved, ignored, suppressed begets yet more violence is the dynamic the civilians of these lands are caught up in. Them and their children. And it is Governments that carry out the bulk of the violence. Both the occupiers and the occupied. 

This is the core issue regarding the specifics of the Israeli/Palestine War. 

For many people in the Western urban civilisation, this sense of land, this visceral connection to that which holds life, to that which sustains ones community, is an alien concept. 

For these people this natural relationship is no longer relevant, and is replaced by Nationalism or Ideology, concepts that are abstractions of reality, that exist merely to justify the concepts of centralised power and the ‘management of society’ which have grown out of the European led Industrial Revolution and for which more people have died needlessly, violently than any other single causative factor over the past 2000 years.

Thus the rootless well-schooled urban population fall prey to clever propaganda, and rarely if ever, look any deeper into the problem. If the Times/Sun says it, then it is! This illusion is being finally being dismantled by the net, and independent news outlets such as Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, The Real News, Indymedia and others are providing a much needed public service, funded by grass roots funding. 

So much for State Public Broadcasting! There is much activity around the world across a wide range of areas that is exploring the nooks and crannies of the SYSTEM OF POWER and day by day revealing the agenda of the system, POWER and it’s drivers, as well as working on the psychological and physical processes and memes that have been put in place to support the POWER and protect POWER from dissent and non-compliance. 

 The activities of the militant wings of Hamas are the actions of a desperate few, for whom the burden of daily humiliation, slaughter and indifference (on the part of the 'international community') have become too much to bear. 

That the bulk of Palestinians do their best to be good mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, lovers and good citizens, good doctors, good teachers bears testament to the resilience and innate good-will of people. 

If only that were mirrored by those who claim the leadership roles. If only. 

To those who support the claim that Hamas or any of the resistance groups of the Palestinian nation (who are as the Maqui's in France were to the German Occupiers in WWII) are equally to blame for the current war in Gaza I say this. 

You have been conditioned to accept that others submit to the unacceptable. 

Get over it!
