My ancestral wealth consisting of vast land holding mostly went to Red China's Communist Party and its officials. It's primarily because of the Second Sino-Japanese War with Imperial Japan wreaking havoc in China. The Communists were the ones staying behind to fight the Japs even after the Nationalist Central Government had withdrawn up the Yangtze River. My Grandpa probably took a leading part (he was probably a pirate scuttling ships owned by his business partners) in the rearguard action blocking the Japanese cruiser 'Izumo' from going through to chase up the river after the retreating industries and government. He was caught and tortured to death.
Even after the fall of Shanghai, the Communist guerilla stayed behind to fight so it's obvious why my ancestors being Nationalist Chinese supported the guerilla in smuggling materiel and financing the resistance. After the Japanese invaders had slaughtered most of my uncles and aunts who had survived the previous scourges, we weren't picky about donating land-sale proceeds to help whoever stayed there to fight the Japanese. Red China's being able to conquer much of Chinese mainland was because of its righteousness.
It's time to usher in the Age of Aquarius with global collaboration.
Those were the days in the post-Watergate (hellish in NYC but internationally halcyon in nuclear power relations after the U.S.A. had warded off an impending nuclear war between the Soviet Union and Red China) years of the 1970s: https://youtu.be/QO9A9u4GyGc?si=yeh-ZTY98EzNIcG9
As mass murder, mayhem, massacres and maniacal madness ... was/is unleashed upon Lebanon and civilians, women and children were being butchered with USA made, paid for, and supplied - battlefield munitions, please do try to closely consider this - in the dark light of the past, present and future events regarding Israel ...
from which, this .. "The political philosopher Hannah Arendt actively engaged in the problem of a Jewish homeland and the politics of Zionism, in the years from 1941-1948. She advocated a Binational solution to Palestine - a single political commonwealth with two national identities, Jewish and Arab, integrated in a federation with the other countries in the region.In the crucial period leading up to the establishment of the State of Israel, Arendt became increasingly disillusioned with the Jewish Agency and with the Zionist movement at large for failing to organize a Jewish response to Nazism; a Jewish Army, and rejecting the Palestinian right to a homeland." Now further please try to note this interview with Ha'aretz' Gideon Levy:
as - "In this conversation, Frank Barat and Gabor Mate delve into the complexities of trauma, guilt & the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Palestine. They explore the psychological impact of witnessing atrocities, the historical roots of violence and oppression & - the emotional responses that arise in the face of such horror. Dr. Mate emphasizes the importance of acknowledging guilt and rage, while also recognizing the helplessness felt by those who wish to help.The important discussion also touches on the normalization of violence and the implications for the future of Gaza and global society."
Further note that Nutjobyahu has tried to denounce the International Criminal Court charges against him as 'antisemitic' but one of the lawyers who reviewed and approved of the charges was Theodor Meron a highly respected jurist, Holocaust survivor & past Israeli legal advisor, who that ^ last article, is all about!!
Re. notion of "Villa In The Jungle", please note the reference to that propagandist, racist & supremacist phrase; here at 9 minutes, in this very revealing interview about Israeli society!!
Note that "Prof.Omer Bartov is one of the world's pre-eminent experts on genocide. This is a devastating interview; one which explains why now he's changed his view & believes Israel is committing Genocide"!
As ... "Naomi and Mehdi discuss how, as with the Oslo peace process, the never-ending Gaza ceasefire negotiations simply allow Israel to prolong the war and ‘put facts on the ground.'"
"Around 1.9 million people – about 9 in 10 of Gaza’s population – are estimated to have been internally displaced. Half of them children. They do not have enough access to water, food, fuel and medicine. Their homes have been destroyed; their families torn apart. Many children have been displaced multiple times, and have lost homes, parents and loved ones. They need to be protected, along with the remaining services that they rely on, including medical facilities and shelter.
Gaza’s children have endured unimaginable horrors – they deserve an immediate ceasefire and a chance for a peaceful future.
Can we still call ourselves human if we allow this atrocity to continue? I'm not so sure.
"Report from December 19, 2024: Israel’s war on Gaza has so far killed more than 44,000 Palestinians, wounded more than 105,000 and displaced approximately 1.9 million people or 90 per cent of the population, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health (MoH). In response to the horrific attacks carried out by Hamas and other armed groups on 7 October 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage,1 Israeli forces are crushing an entire population under bombs and rubble.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has witnessed 14 months of repeated attacks on civilians, the dismantling of essential civilian infrastructure including healthcare facilities, and a systematic denial of humanitarian assistance, seemingly underpinning Israel’s campaign to unravel the very fabric of society in Gaza. In the first 12 months of hostilities, MSF staff themselves have endured 41 attacks and violent incidents, including airstrikes, shelling and violent incursions in health facilities, direct fire on its shelters and convoys and arbitrary detention by Israeli forces. Eight MSF colleagues and many of their family members have been killed, many more have been injured. Medical personnel and patients alike have been forced to urgently evacuate health facilities on 17 separate occasions, often literally running for their lives. MSF has only been able to restart activities in three facilities."
and note: "Ronen Bergman is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, based in Tel Aviv. His latest book is “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations” published by Random House, via the New York Times".
NB "The Grayzone has obtained slides from a confidential Israel lobby presentation based on data from Republican pollster, Frank Luntz. They contain talking points for politicians and public figures seeking to justify Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip."
The information above incl. the final video, has to be seen in the round & in the context of ISR's political divisions but seen in totality they form a picture of who knew what n' when! These videos are important!
How can anybody really have a true opinion on events in Gaza 12 months ago ... without recourse to the information in these videos above, given the very deeply partisan nature of U$A's Main Stream Media?!! Finally & very importantly indeed, please try to carefully consider the consequences of the following info:
WHICH ... "One article describing the Israeli Prime Minister riding on an unbeatable wave of triumphs. These stunning military “successes,” its author Barak Ravid notes, include the bombing of Yemen, the assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the pager attack against Lebanon.
"The same author recently went viral for an article that claimed that Israeli attacks against Hezbollah are “not intended to lead to war, but are an attempt to reach ‘de-escalation through escalation.'” Many users on social media mocked Ravid for this bizarre, Orwellian reasoning - but what almost everybody missed is that Barak Ravid is an Israeli spy or at least he was until recently.Ravid is a former analyst with Israeli spying agency Unit 8200 & as recently as last year, was still a reservist with the IDF.
"Unit 8200, is Israel’s largest & perhaps most controversial spying organization. It has been responsible for many high-profile espionage & terror operations, including recent pager attack that injured thousands of Lebanese civilians. As this investigation will reveal, Ravid is far from the only Israeli ex-spook working at top US media outlets, working hard to manufacture Western support for his country’s actions." WTF?!
Policy determines law, not the other way round. Power, ultimately military power, determines policy. If you want to change another's policy, you must have a police force or an army.
And note "Israeli scholar Maya Wind’s new book - 'Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom'.. documents how Israeli universities directly constrain Palestinian rights by supporting & even developing the policies of occupation and apartheid used by the Israeli state.“In the West, Israeli universities are considered bastions of pluralism and democracy. But in fact … they are a central pillar of the Israeli regime's of oppression against Palestinians,” says Wind. She also discusses Israel’s “scholasticide", in Gaza - the "intentional destruction of Palestinian education” & the movement of conscientious objectors to Israel’s mandatory conscription, in which she took part when she refused to enlist in the army at age 18 and served 40 days in a military prison."
Further via same source: "“Resist the Normalization of Evil”: Israeli Reporter Amira Hass"; https://youtu.be/DIILcoPSNQs (42m)
As poor Professor Steven Pinker says he's in a "state of agonized ambivalence" about Israel starving 2 million Palestinians and burning hospital patients to death. "Venomous" students protesting this outside his Ivory Tower leave him "stunned" & so the solution is he says, that they all need to be re-educated!!!
Note how "Israel enjoys bipartisan support from the Democratic and Republican Parties in Washington, as it brutally bombs Gaza; invades Lebanon; and attacks Iran, Syria, and Yemen. Ben Norton - shows how Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, JD Vance, Tim Walz .. and other US politicians facilitate Israel's war crimes, which are being investigated by the International Court of Justice." Also consider ...
as "To understand the genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza with the support of North America and Europe, it is crucial to recognize Zionism’s roots in Western colonialism."
Note "As the war on Gaza spans a second year, we continue our conversation with the acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. His new book, The Message - is based in part on his own visit last year to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he says he saw a system of segregation and oppression reminiscent of Jim Crow in the United States. "It was revelatory," says Coates and. "I don't think the average American has a real sense of what we’re doing over there — and I emphasize 'what we are doing' because it's not possible without American support."
also - "The Intercept: New York Times Exposé Lacks Evidence to Claim Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence Oct. 7"!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMNV0Csj46Q [29m] and note that this^is a Totally Devastating Reprise, by Jeremy Cahill and Ryan Grim and DemocracyNow!'s Amy Goodman - of Israel's 'rape' claims and requires urgent attention of all true journalists worldwide!!!
Further "What Really Happened on Oct 7?!!"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mxfnya3ZRc a clear, concise & clinical deconstruction of the events from 12 months ago and a precis of this video:
while noting "The rise to prominence of Itamar Ben-Gvir and other extremists has placed a radical ideology at the heart of political power in Israel." - And now as a post script ... by Jessica Buxbaum:
As: "Decades after Kach's founding & Rabbi Meir Kahane's death, the radical Jewish supremacist movement may be even more influential today than during its inception"!!! Finally, 1 year on, note:
Noting: "When two young American Jews raised to support Israel unconditionally witness the way Israel treats Palestinians, it changes their lives. They join a movement of young American Jews - campaigning to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel and .. reveal a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity. "Israelism" has sparked huge debate on American campuses even before the events of October 7, 2023."
Also note that the: "Contributors suggest the narrative that young American Jews are fed almost entirely erases the existence of the Palestinians through education and advocacy .. sometimes involving groups that organise free trips to Israel partially funded by the Israeli government."
And that: "This film describes how influential this narrative is in shaping attitudes to Israel, not just in the United States but across the world."
"From sabotaging Oslo, to funneling Qatari cash into Gaza, Bibi has spent his career bolstering Hamas to help perpetuate the conflict, even after Oct 7/23, argues historian Adam Raz, he's still advancing the same strategy."

I certainly have something to say regarding your prior reply.
My ancestral wealth consisting of vast land holding mostly went to Red China's Communist Party and its officials. It's primarily because of the Second Sino-Japanese War with Imperial Japan wreaking havoc in China. The Communists were the ones staying behind to fight the Japs even after the Nationalist Central Government had withdrawn up the Yangtze River. My Grandpa probably took a leading part (he was probably a pirate scuttling ships owned by his business partners) in the rearguard action blocking the Japanese cruiser 'Izumo' from going through to chase up the river after the retreating industries and government. He was caught and tortured to death.
Even after the fall of Shanghai, the Communist guerilla stayed behind to fight so it's obvious why my ancestors being Nationalist Chinese supported the guerilla in smuggling materiel and financing the resistance. After the Japanese invaders had slaughtered most of my uncles and aunts who had survived the previous scourges, we weren't picky about donating land-sale proceeds to help whoever stayed there to fight the Japanese.

How can anybody really have a true opinion on events in Gaza 12 months ago ... without recourse to the information in these videos above, given the very deeply partisan nature of U$A's Main Stream Media?!! Finally & very importantly indeed, please try to carefully consider the consequences of the following info:
WHICH ... "One article describing the Israeli Prime Minister riding on an unbeatable wave of triumphs. These stunning military “successes,” its author Barak Ravid notes, include the bombing of Yemen, the assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the pager attack against Lebanon.
"The same author recently went viral for an article that claimed that Israeli attacks against Hezbollah are “not intended to lead to war, but are an attempt to reach ‘de-escalation through escalation.'” Many users on social media mocked Ravid for this bizarre, Orwellian reasoning - but what almost everybody missed is that Barak Ravid is an Israeli spy or at least he was until recently.Ravid is a former analyst with Israeli spying agency Unit 8200 & as recently as last year, was still a reservist with the IDF.
"Unit 8200, is Israel’s largest & perhaps most controversial spying organization. It has been responsible for many high-profile espionage & terror operations, including recent pager attack that injured thousands of Lebanese civilians. As this investigation will reveal, Ravid is far from the only Israeli ex-spook working at top US media outlets, working hard to manufacture Western support for his country’s actions." WTF?!

Policy determines law, not the other way round. Power, ultimately military power, determines policy. If you want to change another's policy, you must have a police force or an army.

"Towers of Ivory & Steel" Jewish Scholar Says Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom"!
And note "Israeli scholar Maya Wind’s new book - 'Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom'.. documents how Israeli universities directly constrain Palestinian rights by supporting & even developing the policies of occupation and apartheid used by the Israeli state.“In the West, Israeli universities are considered bastions of pluralism and democracy. But in fact … they are a central pillar of the Israeli regime's of oppression against Palestinians,” says Wind. She also discusses Israel’s “scholasticide", in Gaza - the "intentional destruction of Palestinian education” & the movement of conscientious objectors to Israel’s mandatory conscription, in which she took part when she refused to enlist in the army at age 18 and served 40 days in a military prison."

"I Was Told Palestine Was Complicated .. Visiting Revealed a Simple, Brutal Truth"!!! - Ta-Nehisi Coates"
Note "As the war on Gaza spans a second year, we continue our conversation with the acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. His new book, The Message - is based in part on his own visit last year to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he says he saw a system of segregation and oppression reminiscent of Jim Crow in the United States. "It was revelatory," says Coates and. "I don't think the average American has a real sense of what we’re doing over there — and I emphasize 'what we are doing' because it's not possible without American support."
Soldiers' testimony describes children being shot in central Gaza and posthumously branded 'terrorists'!

Try to consider: "Israelism - The awakening of young American Jews | A Featured Documentary"!
Noting: "When two young American Jews raised to support Israel unconditionally witness the way Israel treats Palestinians, it changes their lives. They join a movement of young American Jews - campaigning to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel and .. reveal a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity. "Israelism" has sparked huge debate on American campuses even before the events of October 7, 2023."
Also note that the: "Contributors suggest the narrative that young American Jews are fed almost entirely erases the existence of the Palestinians through education and advocacy .. sometimes involving groups that organise free trips to Israel partially funded by the Israeli government."
And that: "This film describes how influential this narrative is in shaping attitudes to Israel, not just in the United States but across the world."
