Shameless

Former Ambassador, Human Rights Activist

Incredibly the Israeli genocide in Gaza is now reaching new heights of violence. Scasualty figures are not coming in as the attacks are so bad that bodies cannot be recovered, medics cannot travel and there are almost no medical facilities operational now anyway.

We now see that the Western injunctions not ot attack Rafah were a smokescreen of lies to mask complicity. The final pocket of Gaza is being ruthlessly ethnically cleansed and its infrastructure will be destroyed like all the rest.

It is striking that this is accompanied by an absolutely shameless doubling down of support for Israel by the western political and media classes. Any thought that their isolation from the vast breadth of public opinion would give them pause, must be abandoned. Their zionist lobby paymasters have jerked the chain, and rather than rowing back, we are seeing a redoubling of their efforts to suppress dissent and obscure the truth.

SOme of this shameless distortion is so dissonant with the alleged norms of western society it is almost impossible to believe it is happening. Here are a few examples.

1) Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta is a highly respected reconstructive surgeon who continued to work heroically and tirelessly in Al SHifa hospital, carrying out operation after operation, mostly on women and children, as the hospital was shelled, strafed and machine gunned around him.

He was already a surgeon of great distinction, based in Glasgow where he is now Rector of Glasgow University.

When Germany banned him from entering to address the conference on Palestine from which Yanis Varoufakis and others were also barred, it appeared perhaps as an one-off action as part of Germany’s extreme and panicked reaction to pro-Palestinian expression. We have come to understand that Germany has a vicious hatred of Palestinians, remarkably based on the psychological trauma of inherited guilt from the Holocaust. While this is a muddled national psychosis that is plainly immoral and wrongheaded, at least it is possible to have some understanding of how it occurred.

But it then turned out that the travel band slapped on Dr Abu Sitta by Germany has a Schengen wide effect as he was also banned from France. That appeared again something that was almost a technical accident as regards the rest of Europe But the western political establishment has now doubled down again by banning him from the Netherlands, and this time the DUtch government has made it clear that it supports the ban, not is just caught by a Schemgen restriction.

So the major governments of the European Union are forbidding a distinguished surgeon from giving first hand medical evidence of the genocide taking place. I cannot think of anything that more sharply exposes the willingness of the western political class to abandon the most basic tenets of supposed “western democracy” in the interests of Israel.

2) The willingness of the United States to use extreme violence against pro-Palestinian students on college campuses is another demonstration of the same abandonment of the pretence of democracy when it comes to Israel. It also illustrates what has come to be a serious generational divide in western public opinion, with young people very strongly motivated to oppose the genocide (which is not to say that older people are pro-genocide, just that they are more split, particularly in the USA).

This is being followed up with yet more crazed pro_israeli legislation in the United States, seeking to designate anti-genocide and pro-Palestinian expression on campuse as anti-semitic and thus illegal.

In many ways this typifies the reaction of the ruling class across the West. Their reaction to suddenly being exposed as the paid servants of an Israel which no longer has popular support and now causes public revulsion, is simply to attempt to bad ree expression and make it specifically illegal to disagree with them.

3) The British Labour Party has gone even madder. Keir Starmer’s Genocide Party is a an outstanding example of the success of the Israeli lobby in buying up both sides of the aisle and cotrolling the entire neoliberal uniparty that poses as the repository of democratic “choice” in the West.

Starmer had been doing his best to conceal his explicitly expressed “unequivocal support for Israel” lately, and to row back from his straightforward assetion that Israel has the right to cut off food and water from the population of Gaza. There had been a fake shift, from refusing to countenance the word “ceasefire” to supporting a temporary ceasefire or a “sustainable” ceasefire – the latter being code for a ceasefire after Israel had aciheived all its ethinic cleansing objectives.

But then David Lammy blew this out of the water with an address to US Republican senators in which he made the totally bonkers assertion that Melson Mandela would have opposed the college protests for Palestine. Lammy is a truly despicable individual, one of the ultimate examples of the corrupt politician whose voice is bought. But this was a move far beyond the pale.

4) Even today, the western media continues to spout out Israeli propaganda at mains pressure. The Guardian, depsite the thousands and thousands of dead womn and children we have seen on our mobile phones this past seven months, continues to pretend that the genocidal attack is on “Hamas militants”.

The bombing and shelling of civilians in tents is still described as “clashes”. This propaganda really does not wash any more, though it may reinforce the morale of hardened zionists. Everybody else has seen through it months ago. Yet still they persist.
