Dr Mike Ryan (WHO) speaking truth to power AND to you and I – just as he did during pandemic. As Dr Ryan says what WE are allowing to continue in Gaza is an abomination. Take a minute of your time and listen to his eloquent anger. And share.
Dr Ryan does not describe or characterize the agency of the State of Israel (we all know what wd happen if he did). Instead Dr Ryan focuses on our individual moral complicity by failing to take any or sufficient steps (eg pressure our governments) to end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Dr. Mike Ryan, WHO:
we are breaking the bodies and the minds of the children of Gaza
we are starving the children of Gaza
because if we don’t do something about it we are complicit in what is happening before our very eyes
we are complicit
we are causing this you us and everyone who does nothing about it
this just has to stop
any rightthinking human being will stand up and say this just must stop
as a doctor as a physician as someone watching more than a thousand children without limbs
thousands of children with spinal cord injuries and severe head injuries from which they’ll never recover
thousands and thousands of children with severe psychological distress that they may never recover from
and as a physician I’m angry i’m angry with myself that I’m not doing enough
i’m angry with everyone here
i’m angry with you
i’m angry with the world
this is an abomination
it’s an abomination

Opposing the genocide in Gaza but not taking a position on Zionism is like opposing the Holocaust but not taking a position on Nazism
Both are supremacist, racist and colonial ideologies from which genocide naturally flows. They are not separate phenomena

Oh look, Israel’s government says that Gaza will be “totally destroyed” with survivors “concentrated” in a camp. How are Israelis one whisker better than Nazis? Serious question.
@ecomarxi:
Trump just claimed ‘Hamas is taking all of the food that they’re sending into Gaza’ — an egregious lie, as no food or aid has entered Gaza in over two months. He is barefaced lying to every US citizen about starving millions of people to death. If this is your guy, you are scum.
Zionists can’t take a shit without the United States wiping their ass. This genocide is only occurring because it benefits Uncle Sam. The US, the UK
, Canada and Germany are as much to blame as Israel. This alliance of evil is at war with the whole world.
Smotrich: Gaza will be ‘totally destroyed’ within months, population ‘concentrated’ in narrow border area by Jeremy Sharon, May 6, 2025, The Times of Israel
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that within half a year the Gazan population will be “concentrated” in a narrow strip of land between the border with Egypt and the Morag Corridor running the width of Gaza between Khan Younis and the border city of Rafah.
He adds that Gaza will “totally destroyed,” that the entire territory north of the Morag Corridor will be “empty,” and that in six months Hamas will not be a functioning entity.
The ultranationalist minister also says that Israel will “apply sovereignty” in the West Bank during the tenure of the current government.
“Within a few months we will be able to declare that we have won. Gaza will be totally destroyed,” Smotrich says at the “Settlements Conference” in the West Bank settlement of Ofra, organized by the Makor Rishon newspaper.
“In another six months Hamas won’t exist as a functioning entity… The population of Gaza will be concentrated from the Morag Corridor southwards. The rest of the Strip will be empty.”
Adds the finance minister: “The Gazan citizens will be concentrated in the south. They will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”
Smotrich has been an ardent advocate of building new Israeli settlements in Gaza following the October 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities, as well as “encouraging” the emigration of Gaza’s civilian population out of the territory.If Israel had been doing to me and my loved ones and country, what it has been doing to Palestine since before I was born, since after WW2 when Palestinians welcomed ravaged Jews that survived Hitler’s holocaust and shared their land and beauty, I would resist too using what ever means possible to try to save my land and people from vicious lying back-stabbing genocidaires, enabled by the rich white Nazi west. More importantly, Netanyahu publicly admitted Hamas is an Israeli asset, financed by Israel. Media blaming everything on Hamas makes them complicit in Israel’s genocide.
Asked about steps to annex the West Bank, the finance minister says, “It will happen this term. It is one of our most important challenges. We are at a historic opportunity.”

America will deploy 1,000 CIA-trained mercenaries to run israeli-enforced concentration camps in Gaza — the red herring of death
US authorizes CIA mercenaries to run biometric concentration camps in Gaza Strip, A private intelligence corporation billed as “Uber for war zones” is preparing to create what Israel hopes will be the model for supplanting Hamas rule in Gaza by Dan Cohen, Oct 21, 2024, Uncaptured Media
The Biden administration has approved the deployment of 1,000 CIA-trained private mercenaries as part of a joint U.S.-Israeli plan to turn Gaza’s apocalyptic rubblescape into a high-tech dystopia.
Starting with Al-Atatra, a village in the northwestern Gaza Strip, the plan calls to build what the Israeli daily Ynet calls “humanitarian bubbles” – turning the remains of villages and neighborhoods into tiny concentration camps cut off from their environs and surrounded and controlled by mercenaries.
This comes as Israel carries out daily massacres and ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, enacting the proposal known as The Generals’ Plan, originally crafted by former national security chief Giora Eiland to turn Gaza into “a place where no human being can exist.”
The plan, approved by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, calls for the Israeli military to clear out pockets of Palestinian resistance, which it has failed to achieve, demonstrated by the recent killing of Israeli Colonel Ehasn Daksa, the highest ranking officer to lose his life in the year long war.
48 hours after stamping out resistance, they plan to erect separation walls around the neighborhood, forcing its residents, and no one else, to enter and exit using biometric identification under the CIA contractors’ control. Those who do not accept the biometric regime would be refused humanitarian aid.
This plan, first reported by Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar, allocates $90 million for the residents to rebuild their homes, and calls to appoint a “local sheikh” to the position of “head of the council.”
The plan is a 21st century reboot of Washington’s infamous, failed Strategic Hamlet Program during its war in Vietnam in the 1960s, updated with a modern biometric program the US military-industrial complex has incorporated into its operations since, in particular, the beginning of the so-called “War or Terror.” (The U.S. has even created a little known agency called the Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency to advance this).
‘Uber for war zones’
The company at the forefront of this plan is called Global Delivery Company, described in its promotional materials as a “Uber for war zones.” Israeli-American businessman Moti Kahana owns it and employs several top Israeli and American military intelligence officials, including retired U.S. Navy Captain Michael Durnan, retired U.S. Special Forces captain Justin Sapp, former Israeli military intelligence division head Yossi Kuperwasser, and former Israeli military chief intelligence officer David Tzur.
Kahana has played a key role in the dirty war against Syria in the 2010s and worked with the CIA-backed Free Syrian Army to provide food and medical care to militants and civilians alike. GDC has also been involved in Ukraine, where it collaborated with the Zionist organization, the American Joint Distribution Committee, to operate a refugee camp in Romania near its border with Ukraine. He has also been in negotiations to free the former Israeli military intelligence officer Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was detained in Iraq in 2023.
Kahana’s Gaza plan has been in the works since at least February, 2024. He presented the plan to establish these electronic cantons – what Jewish News referred to as “gated communities” – to the White House, State Department, and Defense Department, as well as Netanyahu. U.S. officials did not respond. While the Israeli military had agreed, the Israeli prime minister shot it down. “What’s the rush?” he quipped.
The Israeli military has also been in talks with Kahana to deploy its mercenaries to secure the Netzarim corridor, which bisects the Gaza Strip.
The GDC’s CIA mercenaries would be in full control of humanitarian aid, thereby supplanting Hamas and ending its governance, they figure, achieving a long-term goal of the Israeli war.
“If the pilot goes through successfully, it will be the model for the rehabilitation of Gaza and will result in the suppression of Hamas’s civilian control in the Strip,” notes Eldar.
The plan resembles a proposal published in the U.S. Department of Defense’s top journal, written by Likudnik think tanker Omer Dostri, who was appointed as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson in August 2024.
The official U.S. military publication Army University Press published an article written on behalf of the Department of Defense calling for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and destruction of Lebanon in a November 2023 online exclusive.
As I reported at the time, Dostri’s plan laid out four options for Gaza’s future: 1) an installed collaborator regime, 2) the renewal of Palestinian Authority administration, 3) an international or regional mandate in Gaza, or 4) a long-term direct Israeli military occupation, which he described as the optimal choice.
However, as Hamas has maintained its civil control throughout Gaza and Israel has failed to defeat armed resistance groups, the Netanyahu government is relying on the U.S. to do its bidding.
The latest plan appears to be a combination of various elements from Dostri’s paper, involving a long-term Israeli military occupation in combination with an international mandate. While the proposal called for the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, or Saudi Arabia to assume civilian control over the Gaza Strip, that has failed to materialize, prompting the United States to approve deployment of CIA contractors.
While Israel has forced thousands of Palestinian civilians to march south, Gaza’s still formidable armed resistance may stifle these plans.
OpheliaPG Oct 21:
The “pilot program” to help the genocidal regime to implement their “Greater Israel” plan. If the International community allows this to happen, US and Israel will be emboldened to expand into Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq! Their quest for expansion and power is insatiable! This was always the plan. 10/7 is looking more and more suspicious…
CrumpledForeskin Oct 28:
10/7 isn’t suspicious. It was a false flag operation, in which the IDF killed 1000+ of their own citizens. This from eyewitness Israelis that survived. The government admitted to it. Look at the devastation and carnage from that day. Do you think some people on motor cycles and hang gliders, with some AK’s can cause that destruction to cars and houses? It’s been obvious since day one, that it was a false flag operation. Israel is known for this bullshit!
Denise Ellenberger Oct 21:
This is horrendous.
It’s not little Gaza/Palestine / Hamas or Lebanon / Hizbollah- it’s the mighty US Empire with all its power vs resistance and liberation and self determination of anyone not complying to their will.
It’s about life and death – on both sides.

There are two fields of scholars. I don’t find it easy to decide who is the hen and who is the chicken. US or Zionism. In any case: they’re perfect partners.

The US empire was founded on genocide. They are doing what they’ve always done.As have UK, Australia and Canada. We’re next, as soon as USA and Israeli wipe out all those they don’t like in the Mid East, or, perhaps they’ll start genociding Canadians alongside their genocide of Palestinians. The greed and cowardice of Americans, both Repuglicans and Democrats, horrifies me. I will never understand why anyone thinks ours is a wonderful loving kind caring sharing species. We are cruel; we are hideous; we are vicious. We are a failed earth-hating, love and life-destroying species fast killing this planet’s ability to sustain our greedy polluting lives. The least we can do is pollute ourselves out of existence in peace – peace for all – including Palestinians.

By now the Talmudic Nazis have surpassed their Third Reich role models by a huuuge margin.
As for the Biden administration going all Hitler-copy: sorry, but it is not the Biden admin, it goes back a long way, probably even to 1948 when Nazi Talmudland was created illegally.
Mark Taylor Oct 26:
Wake up, Americans and free yourselves from the fascist ZioNazis. … Just as the Israelis ‘battle test’ new weapons systems slaughtering children in Gaza, the modern concentration camps and social control techniques and technology will be perfected on the Palestinians.
What too few realize is that we are all Palestinians in the grotesque, fascistic ZioNazi US/Israeli regime.

Ngungu Oct 27:
The Talmudist Nazis make the Third Reich Nazis look like choir boys.
The U.S. has experience with this because it did similar things in Vietnam, Iraq (Fallujah) and Afghanistan, all of which failed.
Any doubts the U.S. is effectively also a Nazi-like country? After all, some 1500-2000 Nazi officials and specialists were airlifted at the end of WW2 out of Germany into the U.S. – Operation Paperclip – and they must have provided some brilliant ideas to the U.S. authorities.

Apparently the Zionists own the world. For the next four years at least, we are at the mercy of a president who just said regarding the Palestinians in Gaza, ‘they are all dead aren’t they, all dead’, and whose son in law and his friend a NY land developer are planning to build ‘a Zionist oasis’ in Gaza.

@PrimeNewsDigest Oct 12, 2024:
Zionism: The Global Cancer Threatening Humanity.
Zionism, often cloaked in the guise of a mere political movement, is far more dangerous than the world acknowledges.
It has evolved into an insidious force with the power to shape institutions, economies, governments, and global narratives, all while erasing its own atrocities from history.
The gravest threat it poses isn’t just to Palest*nians, but to all of humanity. It is a deeply entrenched system of oppression, violence, and deceit that continues to corrupt societies from within.
Zionism does not merely infiltrate through personnel and finance, although that is part of its operational playbook.
Its true power lies in its ability to ideologically dominate the discourse—convincing, coercing, and intimidating individuals and institutions into submission.
Those who dare to speak against the Zionist agenda are swiftly silenced, branded as anti-Semites, or worse.
This ideological stranglehold is so effective that governments and corporations independently take on the role of punishing critics of Zionist atrocities, even without direct instruction.
The Zionist regime in Israel is responsible for systematic genocide, war crimes, and apartheid, yet the world turns a blind eye.
Why? Because Zionism has woven itself into the fabric of global power structures. The media whitewashes its crimes, portraying Zionists as perpetual victims while ignoring the brutal slaughter of Pale*tinian civilians, the theft of their lands, and the destruction of their homes.
But the danger of Zionism extends far beyond the borders of Pal*stine. This movement has embedded itself into Western governments, particularly in the UK and the US, where politicians are either bought or bullied into silence.
Any attempt to criticize Israel is met with overwhelming backlash, whether through legal persecution, economic sanctions, or social isolation. Zionism has become a global empire of manipulation, threatening the very core of democracy and free speech.
This is why the fight against Zionism cannot be limited to the collapse of the colonial project in Pale*tine. The movement must be dismantled globally, through a generational struggle that confronts its pervasive influence across nations.
Zionism has to be uprooted from the political systems it controls, the media it manipulates, and the social consciousness it distorts. The freedom of future generations depends on this struggle.
Zionism is not just an issue for Palestinians—it is a cancer metastasizing throughout the world.
It must be recognized as the existential threat it truly is: a force bent on sustaining a violent, oppressive state at any cost, while destabilizing global peace and security.
We must wage an intellectual, social, and political war to eradicate its influence before it eradicates us.
The question is no longer whether we can afford to confront Zionism, but whether we can afford not to.
If we continue to ignore the gravity of this threat, we are complicit in the slow destruction of justice, humanity, and freedom worldwide. Time is running out, and the stakes could not be higher.
Zionism’s unchecked power will continue to bring devastation unless it is met with unwavering resistance. We must confront this threat head-on—for our survival, for future generations, and for the very soul of human existence.

Israel and the West have created a level of doublespeak beyond Orwell’s darkest imagination
Since the rapes when I was a girl, and my mum sending me to rapists, summer after summer – ignoring me begging her no .. no .. no .. no .. no, I’ve been angry at the world, angry at the hideous raping religions and the inhumane attendees of those religions enabling rapes of their own kids just to get some of god’s favour, angry at the horrifying abusive raping patriarchy (the worst rapist on and of earth).
Since I became aware of Israel’s crimes in Palestine, when I was a girl reading everything I could get my hands on to escape the rapes that ravaged every part of me every minute of every day, my anger at the world has only increased. Every day, I grow more furious at the many who do nothing, say nothing, ignore the cruel reality of Zionism because they benefit personally from it, or may have to sacrifice a tiny something. FFS.
The one that I am most angry at, after my mother and my rapists, is lying ex supreme court of Canada judge, Rosalie Abella, Zionist, who intentionally denigrated me in her ruling in Ernst vs AER to discredit me and my case – I think because of my years of public protest against Israel’s crimes against humanity. More gory details here: Zionism Hates the Truth, new report by Will Koop staring genocidaires retired supreme court of Canada justice(?) Rosalie Abella, past Canadian Minister of Justice(?) Irwin Cotler, past Prime Minster of Canada Steve Harper, Israel’s mass murdering war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and many more. Palestine will be Free. From the River to the Sea. “We are Palestinians.”
