Netanyahu and Human Sacrifices in Occupied Palestine and America
What Should Be the Fate of the Genocider-in-Chief?
Anthony James Hall
The drama unfolding in Gaza, the West Bank, and more generally in West Asia is announcing a new phase in the fall of Western Civilization as we have known it. At the core of the drama is a very public ceremony of human sacrifice in the joint US-Israeli ritual to depopulate Gaza and rid the West Bank of its native Palestinians.
The conflict is widening geographically, religiously, and ideologically. US universities are becoming major sites of the intensifying turmoil. These places are meant to be devoted to higher learning, open debate and critical thinking. But those ideals are fast giving way to assaults on very promising surges of free expression.
Attempts are underway to wrestle to the ground the outbursts of liberated articulation. The quest to silence free speech is being done in the name of quelling so-called anti-Semitism. The ironies are great when the real victims of anti-Semitism are the Semitic Arab Palestinians being injured and eliminated in the ruthless onslaughts driving the campus disruptions. The resulting divide is putting influential Jewish people on both sides of the red lines cutting straight through the complex apparatus of higher education.
While faculty members are becoming increasingly involved, the centre of gravity in the protests so far are the mobilizing networks of students that are aligning themselves against the many-faceted genocide underway in Gaza for half a year.
The Genocider-In-Chief, Benjamin Netanyahu, seems intent on throwing gasoline on the campus turmoil in the cause of sparking full-fledged civil war. Its amazing to behold the severity of the scolding rhetoric coming from this man who has made himself the champion of the most obscene case of mass murder in the twenty-first century.
Netanyahu’s defamatory clichés take Zionist accusations of anti-Semitism to new extremes of overheated polemics. Its almost as if Netanyahu is intent on becoming a caricature of himself. In Netanyahu’s deformed worldview, anyone is a terrorist who questions his blood-thirsty crusade aimed at violently depopulating Occupied Palestine of its native Palestinians.
The leader of the barbaric massacre of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, claims that anyone who empathizes with the plight of Netanyahu’s victims is “intent on killing Jews where ever they are.”
Netanyahu’s has become so set in his ways of presenting the Gazan genocide as a noble crusade, that he seems intent on widening his blood lust for human sacrifice to include some of the most committed and principled of American’s rising generation of university students.
Like the reprehensible web site, Canary mission, Netanyahu’s goal seems to be to destroy the life chances of young people by assigning them to blacklists meant to deny them career opportunities.
Is Netanyahu also aiming to set in motion the creation of concentration camps or worse for those who refuse to fall in line with the bigotry driving his genocidal schemes of ethnic elimination?
Netanyahu’s ruthless war against the most free-thinking flower of youth is aimed at sabotaging higher education by enlisting its top administrators into a campaign to eviscerate academic freedom. Without free and open debate, serious universities cannot rise to a high standard beyond the level of indoctrination, enforced sloganeering, and institutionalized cronyism. The sacrifice of human potential for partisan advantage cannot end well. Human sacrifice is taking many forms.
Netanyahu stands at the head of a genocidal project that is embraced and advanced by many Jewish Israelis in the Armed Forces, the Knesset, the media, and the population at large. The backing also encompasses the cultish clique of puppet governors made to appear as if they are in charge of what are, in fact, hollowed-out hulks of the former Western Democracies. Some of the human agents of Zionism’s remote-controlled governance include Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Rishi Sunak, Olaf Scholz, Ursula Von Leyen, Justin Trudeau, and Emmanuel Macron.
Genocider-In-Chief
There can be no doubt, however, that Benjamin Netanyahu deserves the title Genocider-In-Chief. I can think of no other figure, not even during WWII, who has pushed ahead the many-faceted genocidal elimination of a people so zealously, so publicly, and so self-righteously. In spite of all the demonstrations calling for his resignation, it has become clear that most Jewish Israelis have few qualms about going along with what many people throughout the world see as the Netanyahu government’s obvious violations of the Genocide Convention.
The genocidal project currently underway has become a primal national project of the Jewish polity. For now, the mass murder is aimed at the Palestinian inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank. But who can doubt that other Palestinians who are citizens of Israel proper, will be the next targets of ethnic elimination, a concept that has grabbed the fancy of Jewish public opinion in Israel.
By Israel proper, I mean the part of Israel outlined for a Jewish state by the United Nations’ Resolution 181, not the portion of Palestine set aside by the UN in 1947 for a new Arab state. The Arab state was to include Gaza and the West Bank which were illegally seized through Israeli military conquest in 1967. About 20% of the citizens in Israel proper, are Palestinian. The present legal status of the Israeli citizens who are ethnic Palestinians has been made to seem increasingly fragile and problematic especially over the course of recent months.
It is well know that Netanyahu has been caught in the grips of legal woes stemming from the kind of petty corruption that the Israeli judiciary can handle even as its members consistently disregard the international laws violated in ways that are woven into Israel’s constitutional fabric. One would think that Netanyahu’s domestic legal problems would be small compared to those created by the Israeli politician’s leading role in the most high-profile case of genocidal mass murder committed in the twenty-first century.
But no. That is not the case. The intervention of the International Court of Justice in the Gaza debacle has yet to put any visible checks at all on Netanyahu’s massacre that seems targeted especially at women and children. In fact after the World Court’s ruling, the pace and scope of the US-Israel genocide seemed to grow.
The conflict unfolding in Gaza is not a war, a word that should be reserved for the type of conflict involving clashes of the armed forces of two or more national governments. The invasion of Gaza by the Israeli Armed Forces, an invasion backed up by the full military might of the United States, is a massacre pointed at people who for three generations have been classified in international law as stateless refugees even as they continue to reside in their own native lands.
Netanyahu claims the “war” is to “eradicate Hamas.” Hamas is the organization whose fighters on October 7, 2023, broke out of the walled Gaza prison to apprehend in disputed circumstances the Israeli captives presently described in the media as “hostages.”
As we shall see, Hamas is largely a legal and political creation of the Israel government. Nevertheless, Hamas continues to command much loyalty from its Gazan constituents. Who else do the Gazans have to help them in the here and now amidst the genocidal circumstances engulfing them?
The Apparatus of International Law is More Theatrical Than Substantial
Even with the limited weaponry at their disposal, the Hamas fighters have been able to mount a resolute self-defence of their own stateless people. The incarcerated condition of the two million Palestinians in Gaza stands as a telling embodiment of the inconsistencies that reside at the core of the system of international law put in place by World War II’s victors.
While this system may look on the surface as reasonable and viable, it is not what it seems. The juridical element of the international system is more theatrical than substantial in reality. The International Criminal Court is a telling example of the base biases, prejudices and corruption that prevail in some institutional components of international law.
The ICC’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Kahn, has been more or less inert in the face of the elaborate crime spree that is integral to the Gazan Genocide. On the other hand, Kahn was quick to charge Vladimir Putin with several trumped-up charges for war crimes in the Ukrainian debacle. By his inaction in responding with substantial investigations and charges to the many crimes permeating the Gazan Genocide, Kahn should face charges for his own complicity in genocide.

The genocide currently under way in Gaza emerges from the internal contradictions embedded in the apparatus for arbitrating and enforcing international law. This system was purposely set up after WWII to create the fiction that the world is to be run on the basis of due process rooted in the rule of law.
One of the weak points in this system is the lack of a coherent mechanism for enforcing international criminal law, including the Genocide Convention. This absence of a reliable means for enforcing international law is not inadvertent. It was purposely built into the system as a means of protecting the powerful from being held accountable and punished for their crimes.
The theatricality of the international system is meant to disguise the reality that enormous latitude has been afforded to the inheritors of wealth and power, both private and institutional, to further expand their fortunes and influence. A primary illustration of the problem lies in the impunity from being charged and punished for violations of international criminal law enjoyed by those in the upper branches of the US and Israeli governments.
The Zionist capture and protection of Chosenite Judaism epitomizes the institutionalized character of inequality before the law. Alistar Crooke refers to the basis of this phenomenon as “the Zionist project of Jewish special rights.”
https://www.unz.com/article/will-zionism-self-destruct/
The post-WWII fiction of universal human rights and equality before the law provides cover for the royalty of acquired wealth along with the political clout that goes with it. These upper-echelon plutocrats and their agents are often exempted from the prohibitions and punishments of law.
From this place of impunity, the Chosenites from many backgrounds can readily engage in the most expensive and corrupt forms of lawfare. They do so even as they retain their licenses to rob, kill and exploit by means of the rigged systems for the apportionment of assets, liabilities and political clout.
Benjamin Netanyahu understands as well as anyone on earth the disjuncture between the appearance and the reality of the international system. This Israeli-American figure has epitomized and exploited the internal contradictions with gusto. This experience has led him to the strange culmination of a political career that has made him the twenty-first century’s unparalleled genocidaire extraordinaire.
One would think that Netanyahu’s role as the primary crime boss in the most gruesome mass murder of the twenty-first century would ensnare him in legal troubles far more serious than those attending the corruption convictions he is facing in Israel. So far, however, that appears not to be the case.
By his actions Netanyahu seems to be indicating that, for him, the domestic corruption convictions he is under are more menacing than the early stages of the charges for the international crime of genocide being pressed against the country he leads.
Apparently Netanyahu and the Israeli people around him— even those who regularly declare their hatred of him— have plenty of experience to reassure themselves that they are above the law. They seem to be assuming they will therefore continue to enjoy impunity from the enactments and punishments of international law, including the UN’s Genocide Convention.
Are the assumptions of Netanyahu and those around him correct? What signs are there that anything has changed to replace the theatrics of international law with some actual implementation and enforcement of fundamental legal principles. When it comes to enforcing accountability for the highest levels of blatant criminality, these fundamental principles seem to apply primarily to culprits in defeated, poor and marginalized countries.
Will victors’ justice continue to prevail? Those on the winning side of conflicts are almost never brought to justice for the international crimes they committed on the way to victory. Going back to the era of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals, those on the winning side are almost never made to sit on the benches reserved for the accused.
[See Anthony J. Hall, “A National or International Crime? Indian Residential Schools and the Genocide Convention,” Genocide Studies International, Vol. 12, no 1, Spring 2018, pp. 72-91]
In fact Netanyahu has already been ordered by the World Court to cease and desist doing the actions that are creating the perception that the government he leads is conducting a “plausible genocide.” This directive, however, Netanyahu obviously regards as empty of substance until the international community get serious about enforcing the court ruling. Netanyahu obviously holds the ruling of the International Court of Justice in contempt.
Netanyahu continues to face little opposition willing to push against the fiction that he is engaged in a “war” to “eradicate Hamas,” a polity that he played a big role in helping to shape, guide and elevate. Netanyahu continues to exploit the fiction that he is conducting a war against, rather than a massacre of, mostly unarmed, incarcerated stateless refugees, people that the Israeli government has occupied and oppressed for three generations.
Netanyahu continues to stand by his misrepresentation even as he accelerates the campaign to eliminate the surviving Palestinians now cornered in the southern district of the Gaza Strip in and around Rafah.
The Engineering of Outrage to Launch the Campaign to Implement the Final Solution to the Palestinian Question
The overarching trajectory of the genocidal violation contains many crimes within crimes. Some of these crimes are rooted in the fact that the Gazan Genocide is providing a laboratory of life and death for experiments on human subjects.
These crimes include the mass atrocities committed by IDF soldiers in the process of destroying hospitals, in conducting torture and rape, as well as in targeting for murder many dozens of journalists and hundreds of humanitarian aid workers including UN staff. Every day, it seems, new mass graves are being identified providing abundant evidence of various methods of imposing slaughter, sometimes fast and sometimes with agonizing slowness.
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/nearly-400-decomposing-bodies-uncovered-in-khan-younis-nasse?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email https://www.vox.com/world-politics/24140794/gaza-nasser-hospitals-al-shifa-graves-idf-hamas
The Israeli assault on Gazan infrastructure and all means of sustaining life are integral, for instance, to engineered famine, homelessness, dehydration and plagues. We have been witnessing low-tech and high-tech genocide, the multi-dimensional likes of which have never been planned, implemented, seen, heard, and documented on such a scale.
The crimes extend to the obliteration of universities, schools, museums, recital halls, sports facilities as well as the targeted assassinations of leading figures based in all of the obliterated institutions. The destruction extends to vast arrays of historical treasures including ancient mosques, churches, and public squares that form important parts of the shared cultural and religious inheritances of Palestinian people as well as of humanity as a whole.
Raphael Lemkin was the inventor in 1944 of the term “genocide” and the main draftsman three years later of the Genocide Convention. Lemkin’s emphasized in his work that cultural genocide is a very important element in the process of eliminating distinct peoples from the international community of nations.
What are the children of the world supposed to think as they compare the conditions of kids in Tel Aviv and Gaza? Is Netanyahu to be seen as a heroic warrior or as a thuggish serial killer? Who will, and who should, decide?
Not only has Netanyahu made himself the top General, PR Spin Doctor, and strategist of a bloody interlude of ethnic nationalism gone terribly wrong. He is also the number one suspect in how the events of October 7 (10/7) came to unfold as they did in order to give justification to the quest to finish off the NAKBA (catastrophe), the Arab equivalent of the Hebrew Shoah (Holocaust).
The genocidal NAKBA began in 1948 with the formal initiation of the new Israeli government’s ongoing campaign to uproot, kill, and eject the native population with the goal of de-Palestinianizing the Jewish nation. Some describe the events of 2023-2024 as a surge in the ongoing genocide that began 75 years earlier.
Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party have been extremists when it comes to the occupying power’s effort to eliminate Palestinians and to extinguish their legal title to lands and resources. In the current government of Israel, Netanyahu has teamed up with religious fanatics whose anti-Arab obsessions and policies as well as their preoccupation with Jewish supremacism are being well expressed in the current outburst of genocidal mass murder.
As with the mythology created to cover the tracks of the real culprits of 9/11, the events of 10/7 just happened to hand over to the Zionist extremists exactly the conditions of public opinion they required to spring into preplanned military campaigns at a moment’s notice. In both instances, declarations of war were issued within hours before any formal investigation at all had taken place. In both instances elaborate and irreversible actions were implemented asap resulting in initiatives that altered the course of the global history we are presently living through.
As reported by the New York Times, the events of October 7 were fully described in the “Jericho Wall” document circulated a year before the prison break of the Hamas fighters actually happened. This detailed report was passed around among intelligence agencies including those of Israel, the USA, and Great Britain.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-knew-hamass-attack-plan-more-than-year-ago/5842036
Just as similar intelligence was widely distributed among Deep State spooks before 9/11, there was similar anticipation of the events of 10/7. One might even come to the conclusion that overlapping power networks were behind both false flag events that put Netanyahu and his political cronies at, or near, the centre of the predatory actions.
The events of 9/11 were misrepresented to initiate the so-called Global War on Terror. Similarly the events of 10/7 extended the same demonization of Arabs, but especially of Muslim Palestinians, to dehumanize those on the receiving end of the onslaught by the world’s most massive and aggressive military-industrial-media complex.
As Simplicius sees it, “all indications prove that this has been an internal Israeli plan long in the making, that the events of October 7 were in fact a Pearl Harbor-esque falseflag tasked with generating the needed outrage which would allow the execution of the ‘Final Palestinian Solution.’ ” (For reference, see link to Simplicius’ Subtack article below)
Three months before Oct. 7 Hamas fighters were clearly viewed in Gaza practising for the events about to take place. Officials in neighbouring Egypt knew what to expect and signalled the intelligence to national security specialists in and around Netanyahu’s Office. Apparently Netanyahu refused to take Egyptian President, Abdel El-Sisi’s, telephone call on the subject.
Netanyahu and his Likud predecessors, including Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, and Ariel Sharon, cooperated very closely with Hamas to achieve several objectives including the paramount goal of keeping the Palestinians divided into separate organizations.
One of their motivations in building up Hamas, a sunni Muslim organization rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood, was to avoid any repeat of the rise of Yasser Arafat and his highly successful secular approach to building up support for the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
The weight of evidence points to the distinct possibility that Netanyahu helped arrange the easy breakout out of Hamas from Gaza through the enclosure’s extremely high-tech Wall. Netanyahu was then instrumental in preventing the IDF from responding immediately in order to allow sufficient time for atrocities to take place in front of reporters and photographers. Somehow these media figures just happened to be at the right place at the right time to get their scoops.
https://www.sott.net/article/485907-News-outlets-deny-claims-they-had-prior-knowledge-of-Hamas-attack-on-Israel
This statement from Danny Danon, Israel’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, can be interpreted as a warning to photojournalists that they will be “eliminated” if they do not keep quiet about their prior knowledge of the events of October 7. Prior knowledge of 10/7 seems to have been widespread as it was during the weeks and months before 9/11.
As Andre Damon concluded on December 2, “These revelations expose the Gaza genocide to be a criminal conspiracy by the Netanyahu regime and its imperialist backers, whose victims include not only 20,000 slaughtered Palestinians, but the Israeli population itself.”
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/12/02/klox-d02.html
What would the trial of Benjamin Netanyahu look like if he was charged individually with the international crime of committing genocide as a result of his actions before, during, and after 9/11? What can humanity expect in the future if the individual most deeply implicated in the most hideous and openly performed genocide in recent times can walk away from the crime?
As it now stands, many perpetrators of genocide in Gaza have a sense that they continue to be immune from charges, trials, and punishments for committing the highest level of international crimes on the books. At the frequently-held Zionist galas for schmoozing, networking, fund raising, award presentations and all manner of self-congratulations, the genocidaires of Gaza might as well be taking bows for the massacre of their captives in Gaza.
Human Sacrifice Among Aztecs and in the Settler Colonialism of the Americas and Israel
The US-Israeli role in implementing the current climactic phase of the Gazan Genocide must be considered in a variety of historical contexts including the event memorialized as the holocaust.
The time has passed when anything to do with this subject can simply be taken on faith without discussion and open debate. No longer do the Zionist proponents of the Genocidal State of Israel get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to demanding the acceptance of their preferred interpretations of history.
By politicizing the divine directive in the Torah to massacre the Amalekites, Netanyahu is effectively drawing on the blood lust of the vengeful Yahweh in what Simplicius describes as the current “Eschatological Frenzy.” Back in late October he explained,
“The eschatological fervor of the Palestine crisis is reaching a deafening peak. Officials worldwide are dropping their masks, and inadvertently revealing the Biblical strain of the conflict. At every turn, political figures now soak their proclamations in Biblical reference and allegory. The foremost of which was Netanyahu, who has now invoked an assortment of Biblical prophecies as dogwhistles to stir his people into an eschatological frenzy. Here he not only invokes the prophecy of Isaiah, but frames the conflict as that of “light” versus “darkness” and good versus evil, painting the Palestinians as the Children of Darkness to be vanquished by the Chosen Ones.
The new form of human sacrifice in the killing fields of Gaza is probably more brutal than any similar ritual performed amidst, say, the pyramid structures of the Aztecs as observed by the conquistadors surrounding their leader, Hernán Cortés. This Aztec ritual was frequently highlighted by those seeking to justify the overturning of the Old World of Indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere.
Popular lore concerning the Aztecs’ blood sacrifice of humans was used frequently to give justification for the conquest and elimination of indigenous societies regardless of the civilizational achievements in Central America of the Aztec, Mayan and Incan peoples.
Strategically drawn upon was the real or the imagined efforts of some Indigenous peoples to appease the gods through human sacrifices. The aim was rationalize the imperative to create a New World where Native peoples throughout the Americas were subjected to round after round of genocidal elimination and repression.
This pattern, exported especially from the western-moving frontier of the United States to the Israeli frontier of Palestine, has helped create the historical context for the treatment of the Native peoples in Gaza and the West Bank. One of the main paradigms used to explain this process of expansion was the imperial resort to the paradigm of the ascent from savagery to civilization as pictured through the lens of social Darwinism
The anti-imperial characterization of the same process is to characterize it as series of manifestations of “settler colonialism” now on clear global display in Gaza and the West Bank. In the current genocide, the warriors of Jewish Israel seem to be competing with the Spanish conquistadors for pre-eminence in ruthlessness.
At the same time, the agents of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza and the West Bank are engaged in rituals of human sacrifice far more vicious than that of the Aztecs. As far as I know the Aztecs did not engage in human sacrifice through forced starvation.
Our Descent from Civilization into Barbarism and Savagery
The human sacrifices to Yahweh, the God of Greater Israel, are being sent to their death with the intervention of cutting edge Artificial Intelligence whose murderous aroma smells nothing like Lavender. In the twenty-first century, the fast-changing technologies of our times are more and more coming to rule the conditions of both our lives and our deaths.
The twenty-first century began with a Global War effectively of Terror that continues to engulf us in the culture of militarism as the dominant driving force influencing every aspect of our descent from civilization into barbarism and savagery.
The life-and-death character of changing technologies, mostly all harnessed in the first applications to militarism, is leaping into prominence as the Gazan Genocide gives rise to warring confrontations. These confrontations mostly emanated from longstanding antagonism since 1979 between Iran and Israel.
This process of warring interactions kicked into high gear on April 1 when the government of Israel disregarded diplomatic law and protocol stretching back into classical times.
Israel bombed the Iranian Embassy in Damascus killing 16 people, including several high-ranking officials in the Iranian Armed Forces and in Hezbollah. Several civilians were also killed. In response, Iranian officials explained that the Israeli attack would have to involve a retaliation. It would have to take the form of some sort of attack directly from Iranian territory on Israeli territory. While Israel has attacked Iran repeatedly within Iran, the reverse of this process had until mid-April of 2024 never occurred.
The Iranian attack on Israel came on the night of April 13-14. Many parties were given ample prior warning so that they could prepare for some sort of missile attack. The attack was mounted with the goal of avoiding, if possible, deaths and property damage. That objective was met.
The attack has been viewed from a variety of perspectives. I find most credible the accounts describing three hundred or so drones and cruise missiles used as decoys meant to lure attention away from the primary weapons of attack. The Israeli Air Force and elements of the air forces of the USA, the UK, France, and Jordan shot down the vast majority of drones and cruise missiles.
Seven of the ballistic missiles have been pictured hitting their targets on the runway of the Nevatim Air Base in the Negev desert.
Scott Ritter is one of those who indicates that this penetration of what he calls “the most protected air space in the world” has already transformed key facets of global geopolitics. Ritter has described this interpretation, which is probably not the last word in the subject, to British MP and journalist, George Galloway.
On April 19 Israel attempted a retaliation to hit targets in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the lead up to the attack many questions were asked about the possible role of the Biden government in pressing the Netanyahu government to hold back from hitting Iran hard.
The quid pro quo, some imagined, would be to give Netanyahu the green light for a major military operation to “eradicate Hamas” in Rafah. It seems that although the US apparently holds the upper hand in terms of supplying the weaponry for the Gazan Genocide, Netanyahu nevertheless dominates in the sometimes mysterious inner dynamics of the deeply integrated Israel-US relationship.
On April 19 an Israeli attack was reported as something of a non-event where Israeli drone-like projectiles were downed by the Iranian armed forces on the way to their targets in the Isfahan area. The governments of both Israel and Iran decided to not comment in any detail on the event.
Then on April 20 came a very brief report from journalist Pepe Escobar presenting a dramatically different version of the events of the prior day. The statement immediately became the subject of intense disagreement and conjecture. Scott Ritter is one of those to condemn Escobar’s statement as containing an impossible juxtaposition of events. The reference to EMP that Escobar refers to, stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse. A nuclear-driven surge of EMP, it was claimed, could fry and disable Iran’s entire electrical system.
Pepe Escobar
In a statement that was widely reproduced, Escobar reported,
In an effort to explain himself, Escobar engaged in a discussion with Larry Johnson and Ania K.
Even before the Iranian demonstration attack on Israel on the night of April 13-14, key figures in the government of Israel have been distraught about the implications for Zionism of the rising importance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This rise has accelerated in recent years as Iran’s alliances with Russia, China, the other countries of BRICS as well as of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization continue to coalesce.
Given this background, I can picture how the government of Israel might have pictured the prospect of a retaliation for Iran’s retaliation for the original bombing of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.
I can picture Netanyahu and the extremists around him thinking about the possibility of crippling Iran with a nuclear strike to generate a EMP surge in order to fry Iran’s electric grid. Speculation, however, is futile at this point. Few of us are in any position to come to any firm conclusions about what did or didn’t happen on the night of April 19 in the skies over Jordan.
Just thinking about such an attack, however, points to the kind of human sacrifices being eliminated and being contemplated in the strange and dangerous times through which we are living. Hasn’t the time come to contemplate locking up the likes of Benjamin Nentanyahu and those to whom he answers. Such efforts are needed to protect much of humanity from becoming human sacrifices to the gods of war, torture, and depravity?

Netanyahu claims the “war” is to “eradicate Hamas.” Hamas is the organization whose fighters on October 7, 2023, broke out of the walled Gaza prison to apprehend in disputed circumstances the Israeli captives presently described in the media as “hostages.”
As we shall see, Hamas is largely a legal and political creation of the Israel government. Nevertheless, Hamas continues to command much loyalty from its Gazan constituents. Who else do the Gazans have to help them in the here and now amidst the genocidal circumstances engulfing them?
The Apparatus of International Law is More Theatrical Than Substantial
Even with the limited weaponry at their disposal, the Hamas fighters have been able to mount a resolute self-defence of their own stateless people. The incarcerated condition of the two million Palestinians in Gaza stands as a telling embodiment of the inconsistencies that reside at the core of the system of international law put in place by World War II’s victors.
While this system may look on the surface as reasonable and viable, it is not what it seems. The juridical element of the international system is more theatrical than substantial in reality. The International Criminal Court is a telling example of the base biases, prejudices and corruption that prevail in some institutional components of international law.
The ICC’s Chief Prosecutor, Karim Kahn, has been more or less inert in the face of the elaborate crime spree that is integral to the Gazan Genocide. On the other hand, Kahn was quick to charge Vladimir Putin with several trumped-up charges for war crimes in the Ukrainian debacle. By his inaction in responding with substantial investigations and charges to the many crimes permeating the Gazan Genocide, Kahn should face charges for his own complicity in genocide.

The genocide currently under way in Gaza emerges from the internal contradictions embedded in the apparatus for arbitrating and enforcing international law. This system was purposely set up after WWII to create the fiction that the world is to be run on the basis of due process rooted in the rule of law.
One of the weak points in this system is the lack of a coherent mechanism for enforcing international criminal law, including the Genocide Convention. This absence of a reliable means for enforcing international law is not inadvertent. It was purposely built into the system as a means of protecting the powerful from being held accountable and punished for their crimes.
The theatricality of the international system is meant to disguise the reality that enormous latitude has been afforded to the inheritors of wealth and power, both private and institutional, to further expand their fortunes and influence. A primary illustration of the problem lies in the impunity from being charged and punished for violations of international criminal law enjoyed by those in the upper branches of the US and Israeli governments.
The Zionist capture and protection of Chosenite Judaism epitomizes the institutionalized character of inequality before the law. Alistar Crooke refers to the basis of this phenomenon as “the Zionist project of Jewish special rights.”
https://www.unz.com/article/will-zionism-self-destruct/
The post-WWII fiction of universal human rights and equality before the law provides cover for the royalty of acquired wealth along with the political clout that goes with it. These upper-echelon plutocrats and their agents are often exempted from the prohibitions and punishments of law.
From this place of impunity, the Chosenites from many backgrounds can readily engage in the most expensive and corrupt forms of lawfare. They do so even as they retain their licenses to rob, kill and exploit by means of the rigged systems for the apportionment of assets, liabilities and political clout.
Benjamin Netanyahu understands as well as anyone on earth the disjuncture between the appearance and the reality of the international system. This Israeli-American figure has epitomized and exploited the internal contradictions with gusto. This experience has led him to the strange culmination of a political career that has made him the twenty-first century’s unparalleled genocidaire extraordinaire.
One would think that Netanyahu’s role as the primary crime boss in the most gruesome mass murder of the twenty-first century would ensnare him in legal troubles far more serious than those attending the corruption convictions he is facing in Israel. So far, however, that appears not to be the case.
By his actions Netanyahu seems to be indicating that, for him, the domestic corruption convictions he is under are more menacing than the early stages of the charges for the international crime of genocide being pressed against the country he leads.
Apparently Netanyahu and the Israeli people around him— even those who regularly declare their hatred of him— have plenty of experience to reassure themselves that they are above the law. They seem to be assuming they will therefore continue to enjoy impunity from the enactments and punishments of international law, including the UN’s Genocide Convention.
Are the assumptions of Netanyahu and those around him correct? What signs are there that anything has changed to replace the theatrics of international law with some actual implementation and enforcement of fundamental legal principles. When it comes to enforcing accountability for the highest levels of blatant criminality, these fundamental principles seem to apply primarily to culprits in defeated, poor and marginalized countries.
Will victors’ justice continue to prevail? Those on the winning side of conflicts are almost never brought to justice for the international crimes they committed on the way to victory. Going back to the era of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals, those on the winning side are almost never made to sit on the benches reserved for the accused.
[See Anthony J. Hall, “A National or International Crime? Indian Residential Schools and the Genocide Convention,” Genocide Studies International, Vol. 12, no 1, Spring 2018, pp. 72-91]
In fact Netanyahu has already been ordered by the World Court to cease and desist doing the actions that are creating the perception that the government he leads is conducting a “plausible genocide.” This directive, however, Netanyahu obviously regards as empty of substance until the international community get serious about enforcing the court ruling. Netanyahu obviously holds the ruling of the International Court of Justice in contempt.
Netanyahu continues to face little opposition willing to push against the fiction that he is engaged in a “war” to “eradicate Hamas,” a polity that he played a big role in helping to shape, guide and elevate. Netanyahu continues to exploit the fiction that he is conducting a war against, rather than a massacre of, mostly unarmed, incarcerated stateless refugees, people that the Israeli government has occupied and oppressed for three generations.
Netanyahu continues to stand by his misrepresentation even as he accelerates the campaign to eliminate the surviving Palestinians now cornered in the southern district of the Gaza Strip in and around Rafah.
The Engineering of Outrage to Launch the Campaign to Implement the Final Solution to the Palestinian Question
The overarching trajectory of the genocidal violation contains many crimes within crimes. Some of these crimes are rooted in the fact that the Gazan Genocide is providing a laboratory of life and death for experiments on human subjects.
These crimes include the mass atrocities committed by IDF soldiers in the process of destroying hospitals, in conducting torture and rape, as well as in targeting for murder many dozens of journalists and hundreds of humanitarian aid workers including UN staff. Every day, it seems, new mass graves are being identified providing abundant evidence of various methods of imposing slaughter, sometimes fast and sometimes with agonizing slowness.

The Israeli assault on Gazan infrastructure and all means of sustaining life are integral, for instance, to engineered famine, homelessness, dehydration and plagues. We have been witnessing low-tech and high-tech genocide, the multi-dimensional likes of which have never been planned, implemented, seen, heard, and documented on such a scale.
The crimes extend to the obliteration of universities, schools, museums, recital halls, sports facilities as well as the targeted assassinations of leading figures based in all of the obliterated institutions. The destruction extends to vast arrays of historical treasures including ancient mosques, churches, and public squares that form important parts of the shared cultural and religious inheritances of Palestinian people as well as of humanity as a whole.
Raphael Lemkin was the inventor in 1944 of the term “genocide” and the main draftsman three years later of the Genocide Convention. Lemkin’s emphasized in his work that cultural genocide is a very important element in the process of eliminating distinct peoples from the international community of nations.
What are the children of the world supposed to think as they compare the conditions of kids in Tel Aviv and Gaza? Is Netanyahu to be seen as a heroic warrior or as a thuggish serial killer? Who will, and who should, decide?
Not only has Netanyahu made himself the top General, PR Spin Doctor, and strategist of a bloody interlude of ethnic nationalism gone terribly wrong. He is also the number one suspect in how the events of October 7 (10/7) came to unfold as they did in order to give justification to the quest to finish off the NAKBA (catastrophe), the Arab equivalent of the Hebrew Shoah (Holocaust).
The genocidal NAKBA began in 1948 with the formal initiation of the new Israeli government’s ongoing campaign to uproot, kill, and eject the native population with the goal of de-Palestinianizing the Jewish nation. Some describe the events of 2023-2024 as a surge in the ongoing genocide that began 75 years earlier.
Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud Party have been extremists when it comes to the occupying power’s effort to eliminate Palestinians and to extinguish their legal title to lands and resources. In the current government of Israel, Netanyahu has teamed up with religious fanatics whose anti-Arab obsessions and policies as well as their preoccupation with Jewish supremacism are being well expressed in the current outburst of genocidal mass murder.
As with the mythology created to cover the tracks of the real culprits of 9/11, the events of 10/7 just happened to hand over to the Zionist extremists exactly the conditions of public opinion they required to spring into preplanned military campaigns at a moment’s notice. In both instances, declarations of war were issued within hours before any formal investigation at all had taken place. In both instances elaborate and irreversible actions were implemented asap resulting in initiatives that altered the course of the global history we are presently living through.
As reported by the New York Times, the events of October 7 were fully described in the “Jericho Wall” document circulated a year before the prison break of the Hamas fighters actually happened. This detailed report was passed around among intelligence agencies including those of Israel, the USA, and Great Britain.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-knew-hamass-attack-plan-more-than-year-ago/5842036
Just as similar intelligence was widely distributed among Deep State spooks before 9/11, there was similar anticipation of the events of 10/7. One might even come to the conclusion that overlapping power networks were behind both false flag events that put Netanyahu and his political cronies at, or near, the centre of the predatory actions.
The events of 9/11 were misrepresented to initiate the so-called Global War on Terror. Similarly the events of 10/7 extended the same demonization of Arabs, but especially of Muslim Palestinians, to dehumanize those on the receiving end of the onslaught by the world’s most massive and aggressive military-industrial-media complex.
As Simplicius sees it, “all indications prove that this has been an internal Israeli plan long in the making, that the events of October 7 were in fact a Pearl Harbor-esque falseflag tasked with generating the needed outrage which would allow the execution of the ‘Final Palestinian Solution.’ ” (For reference, see link to Simplicius’ Subtack article below)
Three months before Oct. 7 Hamas fighters were clearly viewed in Gaza practising for the events about to take place. Officials in neighbouring Egypt knew what to expect and signalled the intelligence to national security specialists in and around Netanyahu’s Office. Apparently Netanyahu refused to take Egyptian President, Abdel El-Sisi’s, telephone call on the subject.
Netanyahu and his Likud predecessors, including Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, and Ariel Sharon, cooperated very closely with Hamas to achieve several objectives including the paramount goal of keeping the Palestinians divided into separate organizations.
One of their motivations in building up Hamas, a sunni Muslim organization rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood, was to avoid any repeat of the rise of Yasser Arafat and his highly successful secular approach to building up support for the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
The weight of evidence points to the distinct possibility that Netanyahu helped arrange the easy breakout out of Hamas from Gaza through the enclosure’s extremely high-tech Wall. Netanyahu was then instrumental in preventing the IDF from responding immediately in order to allow sufficient time for atrocities to take place in front of reporters and photographers. Somehow these media figures just happened to be at the right place at the right time to get their scoops.
https://www.sott.net/article/485907-News-outlets-deny-claims-they-had-prior-knowledge-of-Hamas-attack-on-Israel
This statement from Danny Danon, Israel’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, can be interpreted as a warning to photojournalists that they will be “eliminated” if they do not keep quiet about their prior knowledge of the events of October 7. Prior knowledge of 10/7 seems to have been widespread as it was during the weeks and months before 9/11.
As Andre Damon concluded on December 2, “These revelations expose the Gaza genocide to be a criminal conspiracy by the Netanyahu regime and its imperialist backers, whose victims include not only 20,000 slaughtered Palestinians, but the Israeli population itself.”
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/12/02/klox-d02.html
What would the trial of Benjamin Netanyahu look like if he was charged individually with the international crime of committing genocide as a result of his actions before, during, and after 9/11? What can humanity expect in the future if the individual most deeply implicated in the most hideous and openly performed genocide in recent times can walk away from the crime?
As it now stands, many perpetrators of genocide in Gaza have a sense that they continue to be immune from charges, trials, and punishments for committing the highest level of international crimes on the books. At the frequently-held Zionist galas for schmoozing, networking, fund raising, award presentations and all manner of self-congratulations, the genocidaires of Gaza might as well be taking bows for the massacre of their captives in Gaza.
Human Sacrifice Among Aztecs and in the Settler Colonialism of the Americas and Israel
The US-Israeli role in implementing the current climactic phase of the Gazan Genocide must be considered in a variety of historical contexts including the event memorialized as the holocaust.
The time has passed when anything to do with this subject can simply be taken on faith without discussion and open debate. No longer do the Zionist proponents of the Genocidal State of Israel get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to demanding the acceptance of their preferred interpretations of history.
By politicizing the divine directive in the Torah to massacre the Amalekites, Netanyahu is effectively drawing on the blood lust of the vengeful Yahweh in what Simplicius describes as the current “Eschatological Frenzy.” Back in late October he explained,
“The eschatological fervor of the Palestine crisis is reaching a deafening peak. Officials worldwide are dropping their masks, and inadvertently revealing the Biblical strain of the conflict. At every turn, political figures now soak their proclamations in Biblical reference and allegory. The foremost of which was Netanyahu, who has now invoked an assortment of Biblical prophecies as dogwhistles to stir his people into an eschatological frenzy. Here he not only invokes the prophecy of Isaiah, but frames the conflict as that of “light” versus “darkness” and good versus evil, painting the Palestinians as the Children of Darkness to be vanquished by the Chosen Ones.
The new form of human sacrifice in the killing fields of Gaza is probably more brutal than any similar ritual performed amidst, say, the pyramid structures of the Aztecs as observed by the conquistadors surrounding their leader, Hernán Cortés. This Aztec ritual was frequently highlighted by those seeking to justify the overturning of the Old World of Indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere.
Popular lore concerning the Aztecs’ blood sacrifice of humans was used frequently to give justification for the conquest and elimination of indigenous societies regardless of the civilizational achievements in Central America of the Aztec, Mayan and Incan peoples.
Strategically drawn upon was the real or the imagined efforts of some Indigenous peoples to appease the gods through human sacrifices. The aim was rationalize the imperative to create a New World where Native peoples throughout the Americas were subjected to round after round of genocidal elimination and repression.
This pattern, exported especially from the western-moving frontier of the United States to the Israeli frontier of Palestine, has helped create the historical context for the treatment of the Native peoples in Gaza and the West Bank. One of the main paradigms used to explain this process of expansion was the imperial resort to the paradigm of the ascent from savagery to civilization as pictured through the lens of social Darwinism
The anti-imperial characterization of the same process is to characterize it as series of manifestations of “settler colonialism” now on clear global display in Gaza and the West Bank. In the current genocide, the warriors of Jewish Israel seem to be competing with the Spanish conquistadors for pre-eminence in ruthlessness.
At the same time, the agents of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza and the West Bank are engaged in rituals of human sacrifice far more vicious than that of the Aztecs. As far as I know the Aztecs did not engage in human sacrifice through forced starvation.
Our Descent from Civilization into Barbarism and Savagery
The human sacrifices to Yahweh, the God of Greater Israel, are being sent to their death with the intervention of cutting edge Artificial Intelligence whose murderous aroma smells nothing like Lavender. In the twenty-first century, the fast-changing technologies of our times are more and more coming to rule the conditions of both our lives and our deaths.
The twenty-first century began with a Global War effectively of Terror that continues to engulf us in the culture of militarism as the dominant driving force influencing every aspect of our descent from civilization into barbarism and savagery.
The life-and-death character of changing technologies, mostly all harnessed in the first applications to militarism, is leaping into prominence as the Gazan Genocide gives rise to warring confrontations. These confrontations mostly emanated from longstanding antagonism since 1979 between Iran and Israel.
This process of warring interactions kicked into high gear on April 1 when the government of Israel disregarded diplomatic law and protocol stretching back into classical times.
Israel bombed the Iranian Embassy in Damascus killing 16 people, including several high-ranking officials in the Iranian Armed Forces and in Hezbollah. Several civilians were also killed. In response, Iranian officials explained that the Israeli attack would have to involve a retaliation. It would have to take the form of some sort of attack directly from Iranian territory on Israeli territory. While Israel has attacked Iran repeatedly within Iran, the reverse of this process had until mid-April of 2024 never occurred.
The Iranian attack on Israel came on the night of April 13-14. Many parties were given ample prior warning so that they could prepare for some sort of missile attack. The attack was mounted with the goal of avoiding, if possible, deaths and property damage. That objective was met.
The attack has been viewed from a variety of perspectives. I find most credible the accounts describing three hundred or so drones and cruise missiles used as decoys meant to lure attention away from the primary weapons of attack. The Israeli Air Force and elements of the air forces of the USA, the UK, France, and Jordan shot down the vast majority of drones and cruise missiles.
Seven of the ballistic missiles have been pictured hitting their targets on the runway of the Nevatim Air Base in the Negev desert.
Scott Ritter is one of those who indicates that this penetration of what he calls “the most protected air space in the world” has already transformed key facets of global geopolitics. Ritter has described this interpretation, which is probably not the last word in the subject, to British MP and journalist, George Galloway.
On April 19 Israel attempted a retaliation to hit targets in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the lead up to the attack many questions were asked about the possible role of the Biden government in pressing the Netanyahu government to hold back from hitting Iran hard.
The quid pro quo, some imagined, would be to give Netanyahu the green light for a major military operation to “eradicate Hamas” in Rafah. It seems that although the US apparently holds the upper hand in terms of supplying the weaponry for the Gazan Genocide, Netanyahu nevertheless dominates in the sometimes mysterious inner dynamics of the deeply integrated Israel-US relationship.
On April 19 an Israeli attack was reported as something of a non-event where Israeli drone-like projectiles were downed by the Iranian armed forces on the way to their targets in the Isfahan area. The governments of both Israel and Iran decided to not comment in any detail on the event.
Then on April 20 came a very brief report from journalist Pepe Escobar presenting a dramatically different version of the events of the prior day. The statement immediately became the subject of intense disagreement and conjecture. Scott Ritter is one of those to condemn Escobar’s statement as containing an impossible juxtaposition of events. The reference to EMP that Escobar refers to, stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse. A nuclear-driven surge of EMP, it was claimed, could fry and disable Iran’s entire electrical system.
Pepe Escobar
In a statement that was widely reproduced, Escobar reported,
In an effort to explain himself, Escobar engaged in a discussion with Larry Johnson and Ania K.
Even before the Iranian demonstration attack on Israel on the night of April 13-14, key figures in the government of Israel have been distraught about the implications for Zionism of the rising importance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This rise has accelerated in recent years as Iran’s alliances with Russia, China, the other countries of BRICS as well as of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization continue to coalesce.
Given this background, I can picture how the government of Israel might have pictured the prospect of a retaliation for Iran’s retaliation for the original bombing of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus.
I can picture Netanyahu and the extremists around him thinking about the possibility of crippling Iran with a nuclear strike to generate a EMP surge in order to fry Iran’s electric grid. Speculation, however, is futile at this point. Few of us are in any position to come to any firm conclusions about what did or didn’t happen on the night of April 19 in the skies over Jordan.
Just thinking about such an attack, however, points to the kind of human sacrifices being eliminated and being contemplated in the strange and dangerous times through which we are living. Hasn’t the time come to contemplate locking up the likes of Benjamin Nentanyahu and those to whom he answers. Such efforts are needed to protect much of humanity from becoming human sacrifices to the gods of war, torture, and depravity?
