Let me repeat that concept "some videos of the 7 OCTOBER action by HAMAS appears to indicate a drug enhanced action--is use of a METHAMPHETAMINE
like substances a viable and rational basis of just cause?
Thus the action, self justification and propaganda is likely to be
dystopian.
My psycho-social sense perceptions of such illicit uber mensch substance
usage is of it having a high probability that it is associated with
antinomy, anarchy and immoral behaviour.
Self apparently it requires a more substantial diet than cucumber and pita bread to reduce adverse psychological effects.
Such that it's not possible to realistically deal with the demands made by
such persons who are impaired by an adverse psychological state.
Any public protest in support of HAMAS promulgating a substantive just
cause must address the issue of illicit drug use as impetus for psychotic rampage.
PREVIOUS UNANSWERED COMMENT BY PROPAGANDISTS
The simple issue is that if the hostages held by HAMAS were released the killings would not be occurring.
Secondly some videos of the 7 OCTOBER action by HAMAS appears to indicate a drug enhanced action--is use of a METHAMPHETAMINE like substances a viable
and rational basis of just cause?

It is now clear that Israel is engaging in a genocide of the
Palestinian people. As reported by Al Jazeera, the Israeli state has “loosened” its military rules of engagement, essentially giving its soldiers the green light to kill anyone they encounter inside the Gaza
Strip as part of their ground operations. Israeli politicians and
soldiers are talking openly about turning Gaza into dust, eliminating Palestinians, and imagining Israeli settlers living on land that used
to be called Gaza. Palestinians are being deliberately deprived of all
the basic necessities for life, including food, water, shelter and
medical care. Bombs from the air are indiscriminately killing and
maiming Palestinians. Palestinians are being encouraged to leave their
lands and homes in northern Gaza and head towards the south – Israel
clearly wants to colonise northern Gaza and turn it into a security or military zone, permanently expelling the Palestinians who currently
live there.
Scholars of genocide have always argued that such mass atrocities are
rarely the product of an “evil leader” or “a small extremist political class”. The terrifying reality of genocide is that it happens with
mass support, which either comes in the form of active participation
(direct and indirect), or complicity through silence.
I am not sure that we have ever seen a case of genocide being
supported by this many actors, openly and actively. The majority of institutions in North America, Western Europe and elsewhere are either actively participating in this genocide, or completely silent and are
thus complicit.
For genocide to happen, two critical elements are needed: the
infrastructural and material capabilities to commit the genocide and
the ability to conceal the genocide by calling it something other than
what it is. The West is participating in both of these critical
elements.
In terms of material capabilities, the United States empire has sent,
not one, but two aircraft carriers to the region, and has made it
abundantly clear in word and deed that if any state or group attempts
to enter the picture and aid Palestinians in their desperate attempt
to survive IsraelÂ’s genocidal operation, that the US will intervene
with its full force. The United Kingdom has also sent naval ships to
support this Western imperial threat to the people of the region. The
US is sending military equipment and weaponry to Israel, refusing to
call for a ceasefire or de-escalation. Corporations and economic
institutions are providing financial support to Israel all in the name
of supporting Israeli victims, as well as reportedly offering
financial incentives to Egypt, attempting to entice it to host the Palestinian refugees who will not be allowed to re-enter the Gaza
Strip. Years of US and Western aid and support to Israel have allowed
Israel to develop the infrastructural capabilities to carry out a
genocide.
In terms of concealment, political, media, social and cultural
institutions are fully mobilised in the West to hide and conceal this
act of genocide, presenting it as a righteous violence of a victimised
Jewish people everywhere in the world. Those expressing support for
Palestine in the West are being threatened with job loss (and are
actually losing their jobs), possible criminal charges and bans, and
other punitive measures and harassment campaigns. The media is
continuously and consistently sending the outrageous message that
Hamas is the one responsible for the loss of Palestinian civil life in
the Gaza Strip, attempting to wash their hands clean of the genocide.
The Israeli operation is being framed as a mission to “eliminate
Hamas” as opposed to what it really is: a genocide of the Palestinian
people and their erasure from the map. The few voices that are
questioning these narratives are being marginalised, silenced and de-platformed.
In short, all of the establishment institutions in the West are
mobilised, fully and coherently, at this moment in enabling the
genocide of Palestinians, all under the guise of protecting
“civilisation” from “barbarism”.
As I write this, I am dreading whatÂ’s to come. The suffering that Palestinians have endured so far is already unfathomable and very
difficult to register in words. And what is coming is going to be even
worse.
In moments like this, everything becomes clear. It was clear to many
of us for a long time, but now there can be no doubt. The imperial
West is still firmly committed to the imperial project it launched
against the world late in the 15th century. Yes, it has changed and transformed its methods, tactics, strategies, and its apparatus of
power and force. The players have changed, some things became more
complex, some things less so. And on and on. All of these academic
debates are important, but not right now. What is important right now
is to say it clearly and loudly – the imperial West is hell-bent on maintaining its supremacy and will kill indiscriminately in order to
achieve the only goal it has ever had, the only value it has ever
stood for, power and wealth.
The same imperial project that brutalised millions of Black Africans, committed genocide against millions of Indigenous peoples across the Americas, in Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, colonised Asia and
Africa through unfathomable brutality and force, destroyed countless societies full of complexity and beauty, massacred civilians in its
imperial wars in places like Vietnam and Iraq, dropped atomic bombs on Japanese civilians, created a neocolonial economic infrastructure that
is continuously robbing the majority of the worldÂ’s population blind,
and I can go on and on, but this project is ongoing and nowhere at
this moment is this more visible than in Palestine.
The world will never forget any of these brutalities and injustices.
We will always remember our dead and injured; our suffering will
always guide us in our actions and provide the impetus for us to
create a better world.
The world is seeing that we do not live in an international system of nation-states, but an imperial world order where the West reigns
supreme; it is seeing that white supremacy is not just alive and well,
but is an expression of the material conditions of our world;
succinctly put, the world is seeing how the Euro-American empire
posits itself, forcefully and violently and through all and any means necessary, as lords of the world.
The world should be seeing that the only way to begin a serious
movement out of this age of colonial modernity is to oust Western
European and North American states, not people but states, from our
political and economic lives everywhere around the globe.
People across the world must begin to withdraw their participation
from this system that primarily works for Euro-American powers and
political and economic elites across the world. DonÂ’t do it just for Palestine, do it for your own sake as well. Do it for your dignity,
freedom and humanity.
European and North American people can and should join us in creating
this better world. But not unless they actively participate in
dismantling the imperial world order that primarily benefits their
political and economic elites. You as well, can and should join this
brave decolonisation project as equals with the rest of the world, but
never again, as lords of it. For you and indeed for Israeli people,
joining the decolonisation project is the only way to evade what
history teaches as the inevitable fate of all lords, which is their
eventual violent replacement with new lords.
