When America’s regime historians reflect on history’s tragedies and travesties, they always praise Pax Americana. That is the idea that American hegemony brought peace to the world.
Conveniently, they leave out the horrors of it.
Naturally, regime historians, the ones we are here (at the Mises Institute’s Revisionist History of War Conference, in Auburn, Alabama) to counter, speak a lot about Hitler, but hardly ever mention Hiroshima.
Likewise has Israel shaped its past, mixing some history with myth, to render a myth-history. The propaganda sustaining Israel’s counterfeit history is called Hasbara, explanation in Hebrew.
Hasbara constructs serve to coat Israel’s real crimes against humanity with ideological respectability, to give these some imagined purity of purpose. Think of Hasbara as the steady supply of bogus, artificial constructs to rape reality.
Undeniably, American foreign policy has a certain narrative talent. The injustices of imperial power, notwithstanding, people are persuaded by the strut of it. Less obvious is the appeal of Israeli Hasbara and the Jewish supremacy that goes with it—and has seduced many Christians into ignoring Christ’s core teachings. …
Deniers of the Palestinian reality—Ben Shapiro, Barri Wise, Biden, Bibi, Blinken, Douglas Murray, Denis Prager—would be parachuted into occupied Gaza. Genocide would become their “lived reality,” not their rhetorical reality.
Running here and there as tanks advance on the Denier, ducking-and-diving bombardments from above, as if you can escape the death radius of American-made 2000- or 500-pound bombs.
These Holocaust Deniers would be recorded scratching for scraps, carrying jerricans of contaminated drinking water back to nylon dwellings. Climbing over kilometers of decaying structures, through ruins and twisted metal.
Our camera will find these holocaust deniers queuing with thousands to use a single functioning toilet, plumbing having been destroyed by the Israelis.
The denier of the Palestinian Holocaust would be filmed up-close suffering dysentery, sepsis, and starvation; intubated, amputated or C-sectioned without narcotics. Twisting on a hospital floor. Smeared by blood and waste. Listening to the incessant whirring above of Israel’s quadcopter killer drones.
The Holocaust denier will therefore LIVE this absolute truth, the ontological truth, of Israel’s Final Solution to its Palestinian Problem. The nature of Palestinian reality is as they’ve been telling it. QED. Proposition proven.
Books have now been written, more about Israeli and Jewish anguish than about the victims. Being Jewish after Gaza is one. Israel’s theocracy. Israel’s moral and military degeneration. Israel’s looming collapse. When did it begin. Right wing, left wing. Why, why, why. Everyone is beating on breast about Israel.
An apt response are the words of a character from Southern literature: “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
And neither should you worry about the perpetrators of genocide—
It is nice to see someone calling a spade a spade. Genocide is Genocide and we are helping it along. That makes us accessories before, during and after the fact of genocide, doesn’t it. Since when is this our business other than to stop the crime against humanity? We are supporting the ethnic cleansing of Gaza!
Trump is giving aid to the killers! When will we ever wake up?
