It may have felt like that for a few years, but people have better access to information, are mostly better at calculation truth from lies through years of seeing so much of the latter. We now know israel=lies, lies and lies. And let's not forget manipulation, violence, deceitfulness and, lies.
Until these tyrannical powers are eradicated from the planet, they most definitely do have it under their thumbs. We’re still paying taxes for genocide, illegal wars, and Epstein islanders
Thanks to YouTube I've watched and listened and learned innumerable times to you a variety of interviews. You and Jeffery D Sachs, John Mearshiemer, and Jimmy Dore and others keep me informed in ways that wouldn't be possible with corporate news channels. I appreciated the insights you share and the scoops, and prognostications, predictions, many which have come to fruition unfortunately.
I done with Israel and our even own countries leaders for being connected with them and the evil they have wrought upon the world for their selfish and evil goals.
I pray for peace and the restoration of those who still struggle.
An impressive article covering history. However, as I reached the end of this article it was disappointing to see that Scott has not done due diligence on the Hamas movement for liberation and still seems to buy into the Israeli hasbara about that movement. To remind, any peoples under occupation, which Palestinians are, have the legal right to do whatever they can to achieve their independence. Palestinians fought peacefully for decades to no avail before resorting to violence, Isolated incidents will always occur as people feel they have reached their limits, often followed after painful loss in their personal life. Hamas, like every revolutionary Movement that I have studies always had 2 arms: one military and the other civil. Hamas is no different but the media never focuses on the social help provided the people.
Scott also shows no understanding that Hamas changed its charter some years back stating bluntly they accepted the existence of Israel but their argument has always been anti- Zionism while supporting/promoting a free Palestinian State. As a brutal, apartheid, fascist ideology with practices that supported this it, Zionism needs to be destroyed. In fact, there are many orthodox Jews who claim Israel has no right to exist as their religion expressed in the Bible is the Jewish people will forever be in exile until the messiah comes. This is another thread in the dialogue usually ignored.
I really like and trust Scott in many ways and admire him for his experiences and clarity in educating us but like everyone else, he has some short comings and I think his understanding of the Palestinian liberation movement is one that needs further study. I trust he will come around.
Absolutely, it does. When he still writes that Hamas are terrorists, when everyone I know is well aware that it is israelis that are the terrorists. How could he be aware of what israeli IOF were doing to unarmed Palestinian civilians and not be changed? Just because he had a host who took him places, showed him things, admitted the faults did not make that man any less israeli and, therefore, brutal against the indigenous people. Why did he never visit Palestinians in Gaza, why not speak to them. His learning/teaching was all one sided, and I don't think he has completed the awakening most others have when realising what the hell was happening. I've known for fifty years, or more, and I have never had the doors opened to me that he has had.
"Herzl died in 1904, and the Zionist Organization was later taken over by Chaim Weizmann as a reward for pushing for the adoption of the Balfour Declaration, which committed the British government to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine".
That turns out not to be the case. Here is the complete text of the letter that has become famous as the "Balfour Declaration". While James Arthur Balfour was Foreign Secretary when he wrote the letter, it was clearly not a commitment by the British government. That is why it spells out that is merely "a declaration of sympathy".
The letter also stipulates that "nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". Hardly compatible with the determined Zionist attempts to expel or exterminate those communities.
The letter certainly does state that the British government "will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object" ("the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people"). But, as with all democratic governments, that was the view of the administration in 1917 and could certainly not bind future ones.
Last, and not be neglected, the date is most significant. In November 1917 Britain was fighting for its life in WW1, and needed all the help it could get - especially as it was virtually bankrupt. Powerful Jews were known to have influence in Washington, and were in a position to expedite and maximise the USA's war effort. Of course Balfour did his best to get the Jews onside - without making any binding commitment.

November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet
His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
¨This video is a must watch, must share. It compiles various recent public statements by Israeli officials that show beyond the shadow of a doubt that the intention behind the Israeli violence against the Palestinians is GENOCIDAL.¨ 3:12 min
Death would be a kindness to these savages - make them the slaves of Palestinians who israelis have treated so
horrendously. No sympathy, no quarter, no sneaking off to live a life of luxury in some other innocent country. They must pay as their God declared: and eye for an eye...
To all United States Officers, do not send your men to death. We are not in WW2 now.
If I can see my car in the parking lot from space on google, well it is the same for them to know exactly your position. It would be very easy for Iran to send drones and/or missiles to neutralize you. Say NO.
What Israelis never admitted to themselves was THEY HAD NO RIGHT TO BE IN PALESTINE AND THE PALESTINIANS HAD EVERY RIGHT TO TRY TO DRIVE THEM OUT.
The insanity of a position which says a bunch of European colonists can invade another country in genocidal slaughter with a supremacist policy of domination and extermination or expulsion of the native people is immense. Why did so many Jews go along with it and so many non-Jews. It was wrong, it was evil, it was cruel, it was terrorism in conception, foundation and function.
We fought alongside the French and Polish Resistance in WWII so why, in the name of sanity, would anyone fight alongside the Israeli occupiers? If Israelis had not been completely stupid and rabid bigots to boot, they would have created one state with full and equal rights for everyone instead of a policy of hate, rage, violence and terrorism against non-Jews.
The Palestinians are an ancient, civilized and well educated people and a Palestine comprising Jewish migrants and Christian and Muslim Palestinians could have been a thriving and impressive democracy. But the Zionists and Israelis chose hate and were always doomed.
The world should have called Israel to account in 1948 and forced it to create one State, a demilitarised state, and demanded compensation and reparation for the suffering and destruction caused to Palestinians in the Nakba.
The world did not and Israel continued on its demonic path to become more and more debased, depraved and evil. The creation of Israel was a crime against humanity and anyone who reads the history knows it could have ended up no other way.
Israel is and always has been a Cult of Hate and it cannot be saved. The State, society and culture are narcissistic, psychotic and psychopathic and they always were. The Jewish terrorists of the 1920's founded Mossad and the Israeli military, now called The Israeli Extermination Forces, and spewed out at least three Prime Ministers. The amazing thing is how rarely the Palestinians have resorted to violence against the thugs who murder, rape, torture them, particularly targeting their children. The courage, strength, integrity, resilience and nobility of spirit of the Palestinians is an inspiration to the world.
I am 80 years old and my whole life I have watched Israel demonize the ‘other’ the Palestinians-in this case. Mind boggling how world politics could use a political belief system like Zionism to get the Israeli’s to collectively demonize the Palestinians because they wanted their homeland especially after so many Jews had suffered the same fate during World War II. Here we are now embroiled in an illegal war against Iran causing the melt down of the US Israel’s enabler - how will this end? Israel an apartheid state supported by the world in their genocide of the Palestinians - the only dissenters are Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis- No active push back re this war; oh yeah everyone in Europe sitting on the sidelines numbed by what the hegemon has done and how it will effect them but frozen - no plan, no sense of the impending doom that faces them and us all brought on by this debacle. What is the plan? Who will lead? Or will a new ‘kill shot’ vaccine be imposed to reduce the world population further? How will you feed your children? Heat your house? Have a job? Keep the schools open and pay the teachers. We hav been robbed by a sick society and economic system. Technocrats rule - Where will the billionaires be when the dust settles? Will they be jumping off buildings like in the crash in 1929? Hiding in their bunkers in Hawai’i - Oprah, Meta/ Facebook and others. Do you have a plan? If you don’t get busy. Best to everyone in the coming hard times brought on by a criminal war intended to reap destruction on the world. See Michael Hudson economist on Glenn Diesen today 4/1/26 what he says and explains is no April fools joke - no one is laughing but I hear weeping and gnashing of teeth in despair in the background. This is not a video game, wake up.
Zionists used jews to get the land of Palestine as their base for taking over the planet. When jews have outlived their usefulness, they will be treated just the same as Palestians were by the jews of israel - the paedophile state. Their winning will echo around the world. Maybe some artist will set it to music and people can do the "israeli whine dance".
This is NOT “Israel’s illegal war of aggression.” This IS the United States illegal war of aggression. Let me remind you that without the United States, Israel would NOT be able to wage war with ANY neighbor. The US provides ALL military materiel, weapons platforms, ISR, BILLIONS $$$ EVERY year and political cover.
'In 1986, then-U.S. Sen. Joe Biden said, “[Supporting Israel] is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” '?
Israel was always a colonial giveaway of land over the heads of the indigenous population, it has no legitimacy, and as it has developed is an extremely sick society. Israel needs to be dismantled with all second passport holders sent back to the country of origin. The current leaders who will probably presidents over an economically unviable rump fascist entity once the current conflict is over, should be detained and after a legal investigation establishing their undoubted crimes against humanity, be subject to judicial execution. It is what happened to the fascists of Nazi Germany and it is what should happen to the fascists of Nazi Israel. There can be no question whatsoever of some sort of post conflict "Israel" existing alongside some sort of Palestine - that idea is for the birds because like the German Nazis before them Israeli Zionists are deranged and incapable of living alongside the indigenous population - they need locking up or executing. There can only be one state - a Palestinian one.
This is a condensed version of a very much larger work. The author has three prefaces: one for the general reader, one for the Christian reader and one for the Jewish reader.
From the back cover: “Liberating the reader from the accumulated shackles of decades of misinformation, this book shows that Judaism’s god is not the God of Israel, but the strange gods of Talmud and Kabbalah, and the racial self-worship they inculcate”.
Netanyahu is a monster, no doubt, but he is a monster created by Zionism, the entire enterprise of which is a racist, genocidal movement.
After Netanyahu, Zionism will still exist, and its violent colonial apparatus will still need to be dismantled.
I never did and have always been completely bewildered by the Americans so easily brainwashed into believing that Israel was somehow America’s “ally”.
Americans are one of the easiest people to brainwash..
Just connect “Sales event” with “stand with Israel”.. and voila..
A bunch of consumer zionists fait accompli..
Ignorance creates a fertile ground for brainwashing via mis-education (lies, lies, and more lies). Remember propaganda always goes after the social institutions that educate: mass media and education (schools).
