“More shocking than we could ever have thought possible”: the Gaza war
JVL Introduction
In a chilling account, journalist David Keys, using open-source materials, draws together the available evidence of war crimes by Israeli troops in Gaza.
These include mass executions of prisoners, systematic murders on a very substantial scale, releasing prisoners and then shooting them as well as systematically murdering unarmed civilians by sniper fire and drones.
The evidence suggests that 80-85% of Palestinians killed have been civilians – one of the highest civilian death rates in the whole of military history.
Keys also touches on the frequent identification of the Palestinian people with the tribe of Amalek, and the notorious biblical injunction to destroy then all, down to their women, children, sheep and donkeys….

“More shocking than we could ever have thought possible”: the Gaza war
Over the past six months, we’ve seen the horrors of Israel’s war on Gaza unfolding on our TV screens. The news reports tell us of the rising death toll, the levelling of entire neighbourhoods, the destruction of hospitals and the relentless aerial bombardment. But the full truth about what Israel has been doing to the people of Gaza is only now beginning to emerge – and it is even more shocking than we could ever have thought possible.

There is a level of gut-wrenching DEPRAVITY about the evidenced and / or alleged behaviour of Israeli forces, settlers and political leaders towards the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank that is almost beyond belief.
The nearest modern parallel with such behaviour is that of Putin’s forces in Ukraine (eg at Bucha).
Putin is already unable to travel freely outside Russia because he risks arrest for war crimes if he does so. Netanyahu, Gant and Halevy are said to fear the same fate – imminently – for themselves.
How many people have tethered their identity and/or their livelihoods to this project? Serving ‘Israel’ – it’s expansion, it’s ‘purification’ – removing for it any inconveniences – such as the existence of Palestinians and anyone who may have empathy for them … This is now an act of worship. But it is just an entho state run by politicians who have the ultimate free pass. Give any group of politicians a free pass and the morally depraved will become ascendant amongst them. So now people, some allegedly Jewish and some otherwise, are worshipping this monster from the abyss, this abysmal, souless idol. Netenyahu is not Hitler -: he is Fir’aun – the Pharaoh. And the rest of us have to contend with his hordes of idolatrous priests, clamouring to supplicate him, seeing his pleasure as the essential key to advance their petty selfish interests. When I think of Jews I will think of these beautiful, brave, fascinating people you show the world on your articles and videos. Some of the Zionists are not fit to kiss their feet. And pretty soon they are going to need to.
IT IS NOT a bloody “war”. It is ethnic cleansing / genocide and justifiable resistance to it.
Putin/Bucha
Fake news
Putin’s arrest warrant is based on the removal of orphaned Ukrainian children from the war zone to Russia
