Obsessing about the Meaningless Ceasefire
On 20 March 2025, I was on Judge Napolitano’s podcast — “Judging Freedom” — where we talked about the results of the lengthy Trump-Putin telephone conversation and where we are in terms of shutting down the Ukraine war. We also spent considerable time discussing Donald Trump’s decision to follow in the footsteps of Joe Biden and not only bomb the Houthis but support Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza as well.
Everyone should listen to this podcast. It’s one of the best programs available and this one was especially useful. Possible resolution of the cruel, needless, war in Ukraine, compared to support for the heartbreaking tragedy of Gaza, does nothing to polish Trump’s imagined halo. He’s writing his name in blood.
In the year 1900 there were about 24. 000 Jews in Palestine.
40 years later they had been joined by 400.000 European Jews, animated by Zionism. These colonializers created their own society on arab soil. This was made possible by the violent, British occupation. So far. cold facts. The zionists were annoyed that the Brits tried to protect the Arabs, and used violence against them.
By 1948 about 250.000 more European Jews had arrived, and the stage was set for the Nakba.
Since then, it's been a slow Nakba every day - also a fact. Every day another Palestinian in jail, or murdered by a sniper; another square metre of soil taken from the indigenous population. Another insidisous law, or another violation of law, all to further the Zionist cause. Facts.
Today a society worthy of the word apartheid. Again, a fact. HRW; AI, or ask any Palestinian.
