Revelations: July 4, 2025. Focus On The Middle East.

"It is not a war in Gaza. It is people in captivity being destroyed."

From Mondoweiss: "A Hebrew University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis share genocidal belief that there are ‘no innocent people in Gaza’. 64% of Israelis agree with this statement, almost two out of three. But it is actually considerably higher among Jewish Israelis, because that number is heavily weighted by Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. Palestinians make up about 20% of the Israeli population and 92% of them oppose the statement, so that leaves Jewish Israelis with overwhelming support."

They then state, "All of Israeli society is radicalized and overwhelmingly supports genocide." As proof, Mondoweiss republished a social media post by Ayelet Shaked, who would later become a Justice Minister, that demonstrates a typical mindset among Israelis:

“Who is the enemy? The Palestinian people. Why? Ask them, they started [….] Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. Actors in the war are those who incite in mosques, who write the murderous curricula for schools, who give shelter, who provide vehicles, and all those who honor and give them their moral support. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there.”  

Mondoweiss concludes by saying, "Genocidal thinking has always been a part of the Zionist project in one way or another, fueled by its settler-colonial logic of elimination."

Sadly, Israel has in large part become a society of psychopaths, hellbent on dominating the Middle East and feeling no empathy toward anyone who gets in their way. Woman and children are nothing but annoying obstacles and targets to shoot at by IDF soldiers with black hearts.

The post above highlights a story found on Haaretz, a newspaper in Israel. It describes how IDF soldiers were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. This is just another example of how Israel has no regard for the sanctity of life.

Rabbi Friedman quote about killing women and children

Shown above is a quote by Rabbi Mani Friedman, who said, "The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way. Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women, and children." No person with a spiritual connection to the divine could make such a horrible statement, but we frequently hear similar remarks coming from Israel.

If you need further proof, this video was recently released. It shows IDF soldiers raping a Palestinian woman to death. They had protests the week after when they were told not to rape anymore. This isn't sane behavior. It's the behavior of psychopaths, or possibly even the demonically possessed. And if it happened anywhere other than Israel, the world's leaders would condemn it. Instead, it's ignored, and for mentioning it here I'll most likely be called an "antisemite". That's the standard attack levied at anyone who exposes Israel's crimes.

Although psychopathic behavior seems to be common in Israel, this is not an indictment against every Israeli. The insanity is mostly exhibited by the Zionist population, but unfortunately they're in the majority. There are sane voices in Israel among the Christians, Muslims, and Orthodox Jews who also live there, but their voices are rarely heard above the noise of the Zionists.

Nate Bear of Do Not Panic! over on Substack has just written an article entitled, 'The Best-Selling Apps Made By Israeli Spies'. He reveals that many of the apps available for both Android and Apple phones are coming from companies in Israel or from companies led by former Unit 8200 Israeli intelligence personnel. Nate writes: "The developers behind hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads are former Israeli spies whose apps are generating significant revenues for Israel’s genocidal war economy. The proliferation of these apps on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store also raises questions over privacy and the harvesting of personal data, given the reputation of Israeli technology and past scandals involving spyware being smuggled onto devices by apps made in Israel. The identification of these apps should add another frontier to the boycott, divest, sanctions movement, as it provides a straightforward way for ordinary people to avoid Israeli products that contribute to apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing."

To find out which apps he's identified, check out his Substack page for the details.

graphic comparing Israel's violent acts compared to Iran's

I found this graphic (above) in a Telegram group. It seems like a good time to republish it since we just narrowly avoided World War 3 after Israel illegally attacked Iran, followed by a reckless and equally illegal attack by the United States under the command of Donald Trump. The justification for it all is the false claim that Iran has nuclear weapons that it plans to use to destroy Israel. This same claim has been pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu and various American war-hawks for decades despite intelligence data showing that Iran isn't actively building a nuclear bomb. Of course, with Israel as a neighbor, having such a bomb wouldn't be a bad idea. Israel has nukes, and it's often threatened to use them. But they don't want anyone else to have one.

For the sake of clarity in this age of endless propaganda, the graphic shows the differences between Israel and Iran and lets you decide which nation is the greater threat. I'm not suggesting that Iran has honorable intentions, but of the two nations, only one has repeatedly proven that it can't be trusted. (one revision: since this graphic was made, in response to Israel's illegal attacks, Iran has stopped cooperating with nuclear inspections.)

Mastodon post about wars never ending

The whole "Iran can't have nukes" narrative has gotten so ridiculous it's even being talked about on Mastodon. Matthew Sheffield writes:

"Breaking: Despite Trump's bombing, Iran is still just weeks away from building a nuclear weapon - just like it has been for the past 30 years."

Iran Air flight 655 incident

Here's a bit of history most Americans know nothing about: On July 3, 1988, Iran Air civilian flight 655 was shot down by the USS Vincennes over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 people on board, including 66 children and 16 women. The United States was not at war with Iran. After many denials and coverups, the United States eventually admitted fault and paid $61.8 million to the victims’ families. To learn more about the incident, go to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Tolstoy quote about exposing evil

As horrible as the world may seem at the moment, we have to keep talking about it and exposing the evil, no matter who is responsible. Because as Tolstoy said, "The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated".

The Complicity Of Silence.

Gaza genocide death count June 14, 2025

Israel's immoral and illegal occupation of Palestine has resulted in a genocide unprecedented in modern history.

The atrocities now total:

55,297 killed

128,426 injured

11,000 missing

And more than half of the victims are said to be innocent children and women. This should come as no surprise considering Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin recently said:

“Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy. The enemy is not Hamas. We need to conquer Gaza and colonize it and not leave a single Gazan child there. There is no other victory.”

If this is the morality of Judaism, we should question what kind of "god" they're praying to. But if this is just the rhetoric of a psychopathic society, why aren't Jews around the world rising up to declare, "Not in our name"?

And where are the Christian Zionists who claim to follow the teaching of Jesus yet turn and look away when Palestine is mentioned?

All I hear is the complicity of silence.

Our World No Longer Hears God.

Cardinal Robert Sarah

"Our world no longer hears God because it is constantly speaking, at a devastating speed and volume, in order to say nothing. Modern civilization does not know how to be quiet. It holds forth in an unending monologue. Postmodern society rejects the past and looks at the present as a cheap consumer object; it pictures the future in terms of an almost obsessive progress. 

Its dream, which has become a sad reality, will have been to lock silence away in a damp, dark dungeon. Thus there is a dictatorship of speech, a dictatorship of verbal emphasis. In this theater of shadows, nothing is left but a purulent wound of mechanical words, without perspective, without truth, and without foundation. Quite often “truth” is nothing more than the pure and misleading creation of the media, corroborated by fabricated images and testimonies. When that happens, the word of God fades away, inaccessible and inaudible. 

Postmodernity is an ongoing offense and aggression against the divine silence. From morning to evening, from evening to morning, silence no longer has any place at all; the noise tries to prevent God himself from speaking. In this hell of noise, man disintegrates and is lost; he is broken up into countless worries, fantasies, and fears. In order to get out of these depressing tunnels, he desperately awaits noise so that it will bring him a few consolations. 

Noise is a deceptive, addictive, and false tranquilizer. The tragedy of our world is never better summed up than in the fury of senseless noise that stubbornly hates silence. This age detests the things that silence brings us to: encounter, wonder, and kneeling before God. 

Even in the schools, silence has disappeared. And yet how can anyone study in the midst of noise? How can you read in noise? How can you train your intellect in noise? How can you structure your thought and the contours of your interior being in noise? 

How can you be open to the mystery of God, to spiritual values, and to our human greatness in continual turmoil? Contemplative silence is a fragile little flame in the middle of a raging ocean. 

The fire of silence is weak because it is bothersome to a busy world.”

—Cardinal Robert Sarah

Judaism Forbids Zionism.

Orthodox Jew is interviewed about Zionism

An orthodox Jew is asked about Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Zionism:

"Let me be clear: God is eternal, His word is eternal, and so are the Jewish people. Judaism forbids Zionism. The Jewish people never ever sought to gain sovereignty of the Holy Land until the Zionist godless founders hijacked our name. But it was never us. Our grandparents lived in the Holy Land in peace with their Arabic neighbors. They were friends and colleagues. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish nationality and destroyed it all to achieve it. Netanyahu, you did not represent us."

Zionism as a national identity is heresy
