Another year has passed, the Palestinian holocaust is still going on as planned and almost nobody seems to care.
No matter the name or the facade, the massacre is still going on as planned, although the death mill is operating at a lower regime now.
During the self-defence phase it was raining bombs and drones.
Now, that we are in the ceasefire phase, actual rain is coming down and when mixed with a good amount of cold and wind it provides a quiet method to clean the strip of all the things that were less reachable by bombs.
After some time, even an entity as the US can get bored of killing elderly and children with such an expensive and non-environmentally friendly object like a missile. Let mother nature do the job for them.
There is still the problem that the ally cannot stay to long without killing or destroying, but that is not really a problem since there are always lines of different colours and pretexts to test the artillery and keep the muzzles warm.
The apparent ceasefire (US has its own definition of ceasefire, namely: I fire, you cease) served its purposes very well, it put up the few protests and concerns around the World and helped the various accomplices to resume their full support for the holocaust, which has got a new name now, so it is fine.
During the self-defence phase, innocents were dying and there was a bit of interest around the World, rather harmless interest I am afraid yet better than complete apathy.
Yes, demonstrations against the occupying force serve no use.
Marching on a street chanting and holding a banner against the Gaza genocide may help to make your conscience a bit cleaner but it has very little effect or not effect at all if not followed by concrete actions.
Demonstrations or public protests often miss the point.
First of all, they target almost entirely the US colony without addressing the colonialist.
The role of the occupation in the Palestinian holocaust is instrumental, they are just following the guidelines of their puppet master. Their mission is to keep a US outpost in the middle-east, to maintain a fascist colonialist strategy and to assure a constant and permanent instability in the entire middle-east region.
US is the world biggest weapons producer and user, they cannot sustain a World without instability and conflicts. A country built on blood and exploitation is incompatible with peace.
They are world class criminals but they are not stupid, using an occupation entity as an outpost has been an ingenious plan that, so far, has paid off. They have taken a population that endured one of the most barbaric events in human history, had given them a land and allowed to freely exterminate the local population.
Unlimited funding, weapons supply and shielding from every international law treaty or organisation, a perfect rouge state to be used at their disposal. Moreover, whoever dare to criticise them is automatically marked as an anti-Semitic, a Nazi. It doesn’t matter if they are using methods and actions that are difficult to distinguish from what the Germans did to them.
Without US blind support, that colony would probably be a normal state instead of a fascist state as it is today.
To demonstrate against the occupation entity is more or less pointless, and a demonstration by itself means nothing. It may actually produce the opposite effect and fuel their genocidal behaviour instead of curbing it.
The Gaza genocide, and the Palestinian holocaust in general, is a reason d’etre for them, they are bred with a latent need for violence, for destruction, for blood.
To watch millions of people marching on the streets with whatever flag or banner condemning their extermination activities does not hurt them in any way, quite the opposite. They see that their violence is generating rage and despair for other people and they get empowered by it.
Hurt them? You cannot do it with words nor can you do it with violence. You cannot rage a war against the most advanced extermination machine on the planet.
One thing must be clear, we are not talking about a regular army that is fighting a war, they are an extermination force whose goal is to destroy and kill. The way they operate has nothing to do with fighting, they simply identify a target and unleash advanced weapons on it, they are not used to have a properly armed opponent.
I can picture one of them seating in a room in front of a console with a screen showing a group of people outside a tent, only adults so nothing worth. But then two children appear from behind the tent. Now the target becomes interesting: two adults men, one elderly, two women and two children. The left hand automatically reaches for the trouser, he is alone in the room so he can unzip and hold it like it was another joystick. The excitement spikes, the influx of dopamine. The right hand holding tight the joystick that controls the drone, one last look at the screen, he presses a button. The group of people becomes one, none will be able to distinguish which piece of flesh and bone belongs to who.
He raises and reaches for the nearest toilet to finish his job.
So, what is the rest of the world supposed to do?
Do not put any faith on your government or your so called representatives.
US and its colony have metastasised so extensively into political and economic organs to the point that they are beyond salvation.
Their only actions are condemnations, strong condemnations and very strong condemnations which ultimately produce zero results for the above mentioned reasons.
You have to struck where it hurts most, money.
Luckily, US is the most capitalist country in the world and thanks to the endemic weaknesses of the capitalist system, it would easily be defeated.
They are just 500 millions people, they cannot sustain their rotten economy and they need the rest of the World to stay afloat.
In short, capitalism needs two key ingredients to thrive, consumption and ignorance.
You, as an individual count for nothing, your only purpose in the society is to spend, to consume, the more the better.
When you run out of money you can always borrow more.
When you think that you have all you need, there will always be a new product, a new game, a new season that you will need to have in order to maintain your fictitious well-being status.
Individual economic actions and systematic boycott are the key to win this war and it’s the action they fear the most.
Financial boycott is the least we can do, refusing to buy what they produce and sell.
Image boycott could also be quite effective in the long run.
Parents, teachers and media must start to treat US for what it is, a rouge state, a death engine fuelled by the blood of million of innocent lives and the indifference of billions.
Boycott is an individual, legal and non-sanctionable action.
If you don’t like the term boycott you can replace it with sanction.
You cannot be prosecuted and you cannot be marked as terrorist if you refuse to buy a US product in favour of something else.
Do not create groups or movements since they can be identified and targeted, just spread the word and act on your own.
It may seem innocuous if done by a small number of individuals but it can be devastating for the US economy if millions follow through.
Let them taste the true meaning of free market: the freedom to divest from violence and exploitation.
A systemic boycott is theoretically easy is to implement, it would just be a matter of not buying certain products or services. But for an average person it would be an insurmountable task if not backed by a proper motivation and care for other human lives.
The first hurdle is the information bias.
Average people don’t know what happens in Palestine, apart of the usual “bad Arabs wanting to destroy the most moral people in world” narrative.
Their knowledge of the events is the five or ten lines notification that pop-up on their mobile phone, they couldn’t care less about the source or the author.
It is a paradoxical situation where the Palestinian holocaust although being the first of such events being live broadcasted it is also the one the faces the harshest censoring by the western media and institutions. Understanding the roots, the developments and the consequences of this tragedy takes time, dedication and strength. Yes, reading through the countless massacres committed by the US through their mercenaries against the Palestinian population with full complicity of most of western countries, requires strength.
The second hurdle is the concrete action, the actual boycott.
This is the stage where most people fail or don’t even try because it entails a sacrifice. You have to give up or at least change some of your habits, change the way you see the World and accept the changed view the rest of the World will have on you.
The question is: are you willing to give up meaningless accessories of your life for meaningful actions that could potentially prevent another US made bomb to destroy more lives?
The answer is, NO.
No matter what happens outside your thin life bubble, you will not resist the urge to eat their junk food and wash it down with their sugary drink.
It takes time to eat food that is not fast and find alternatives to the drink.
You cannot wear anything else but their clothes and their shoes.
It takes time to find other brands.
You cannot unsubscribe from their social and pretend-to-be professional networks because sharing a meaningless picture or a post makes you fell less lonely.
It takes time to create your own blog on subjects you really care.
You need your one-day delivery for the item you didn’t need in the first place but because it was on a super-deal you will find a use for it eventually.
It takes time to go in an actual shop and buy what you actually need.
You cannot make sure that the fund where you invested your saving doesn’t own shares in their companies.
It takes time to do a proper screening.
You cannot stop using the same operating system that you have been forced to use since you got your first computer, only for writing simple documents and doing elementary calculations.
It takes time to learn to use one of the many free and open-source alternatives that exist out there.
You cannot…, because it takes time….
The time you saved by ceasing to be a person and becoming a battery, will be spent staring at a screen, either small or big, swallowing whatever new post or new season they stream into you. After all, batteries must be recharged.
