We need Western countries allied to Israel to stop reinforcing the Zionist belief that global opposition to Israel is related to the religious affiliation of the majority of Israelis, rather, it stems from distaste for the previous 75 years of military aggression and grave mistreatment of the native population whose land they now occupy.

‘It’s like we’re watching Auschwitz on TikTok’ ~ Gabor Mate “Had there been YouTube and Instagram and TikTok around Auschwitz, this is what we would have seen, people burning alive. And it’s beyond horrendous, it’s beyond comprehension.”
In an online meeting with French activist and film producer Frank Barat on Monday, Canadian physician Gabor Mate explored the psychological complexities of witnessing atrocities in Gaza and Palestine, saying: “It’s like we’re watching Auschwitz on TikTok.”
They delve into the emotional and historical roots of violence and oppression, highlighting the trauma, guilt, and helplessness experienced by observers. Mate stresses the need to acknowledge these emotions and examines the normalisation of violence, while contemplating the future implications for Gaza and global society.

‘Israelism: The awakening of young American Jews | Featured Documentary

 

“Interviews with academics and political activists, including Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Lara Friedman and a former director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abe Foxman.

 

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.

 

This film describes how influential this narrative is in shaping attitudes to Israel, not just in the United States but across the world.

Ilan Pappé: The Untold Truths of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba
In this statement, delivered at the UN Forum on the Question of Palestine in 2017, Ilan Pappé delves into the events of 1948 that led to the Palestinian Catastrophe. He begins by recounting the role of the United Nations, which appointed the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) in 1947. This committee, comprising members who were largely unfamiliar with the region, “totally misunderstood either the Palestinian position or the general Arab League position on the Palestine question.”
Pappé explains how the Jewish community in Palestine initiated a process of ethnic cleansing in early 1948, even before the end of the British Mandate on May 15. By April, over 150,000 Palestinians had been expelled from urban areas, with the massacre at Deir Yassin on April 9 exemplifying the brutality of these expulsions. By the time Arab nations intervened on May 15, 250,000 Palestinians were already refugees. Pappé highlights the systematic destruction of Palestinian villages, stating that “half of Palestine’s population was expelled, half of Palestine’s villages were demolished, and most of the Palestinian towns were wiped out.” He concludes by emphasizing the need for acknowledgment, accountability, and acceptance in any peace process. Pappé asserts that the international community must recognize the “catastrophe of 1948” and hold Israel accountable for the ethnic cleansing that occurred. Only through this acknowledgment can there be hope for a just resolution and acceptance of Israel as part of the Middle East. “The Israelis can ask both the Palestinians and the Arab world to accept them as an organic part of Palestine,” he states, envisioning a future where past wrongs are addressed and true peace can be achieved.
To mark the anniversary of the 1948 War and subsequent uprooting and mass displacement of Palestinians, known in Arabic as Al-Nakba (the Catastrophe), the Committee convened the UN Forum on the Question of Palestine “70 Years after 1948 – Lessons to Achieve a Sustainable Peace” on 17-18 May 2018.

Israel’s army has been accused of stealing organs from the dead in Gaza by an NGO, which called for an independent international investigation.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Sunday it had “concerns” about possible organ theft from Palestinian corpses, following reports by medical professionals in Gaza who examined some bodies after they were released by Israel.
The NGO claimed it has documented Israeli forces confiscating dozens of dead bodies from the al-Shifa and Indonesian hospitals in northern Gaza, alongside others in the south.
Medical professionals reportedly found vital organs, such as livers, kidneys and hearts, alongside cochleas and corneas, were missing, which the Euro-Med Monitor called “evidence” of potential organ theft.

CMV: Jews have no legitimate claim to the land of modern day Israel. A two-state solution is already a major concession made by the Palestinians. Delta(s) from OP After reading about the Israel-Palestine conflict, I was shocked at how rarely people point out the flawed logic behind pro-Israel arguments. I do not believe Jews have a meaningful claim to the land of Israel, and a “Jewish state” should have never been established in the region. I will be debunking common arguments for a Jewish state of Israel below, and will gladly respond to any others that are brought up to this post.
The Jews deserve a homeland because centuries of history have shown their safety is never guaranteed in non-Jewish countries.
I agree, Jews have every right to establish their own country so they do not have to worry about being a persecuted minority. However, Jews do not have a right to establish a Jewish state over a region that is already inhabited by non-Jewish people. If the principal concern is establishing a country where Jews can be safe, why does it have to be established in a region that is majority Muslim? There are other regions of the world with unoccupied land, but Jews insist their nation be established over the historic land of Israel. In this case, the “Jews just want a homeland” is a red herring to avoid the issue of a Jewish state being established over a region occupied by Arabs for centuries.
2) Jews legally bought land in Palestine in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Yes, Jews legally bought land during both the Ottoman and British administration of the region. However, these were regarding private ownership of the land, which is different from sovereignty of the land. Many Chinese people buy real estate in Vancouver, but it does not mean Chinese people buy the sovereignty of Vancouver. The land is still legally the territory of Canada, Chinese people cannot establish a “Chinese state” because they bought real estate in Vancouver. Therefore, Jews legally buying land in Palestine does not mean it gives them the right to establish a Jewish state on that land. 3) Jews earned the right to establish a Jewish state in Israel after it negotiated the Balfour Declaration from Britain.
This was a colonial era document. If you think colonial territory agreements should be maintained, then you are against the independence of Korea, Vietnam, India, etc. The British should have never made such promises on the first place, especially considering they made overlapping promises to the Arabs in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. A similar argument is that Jews earned the land after winning a war instigated by an Arab coalition. This is right by conquest, which has no longer been recognized by international law since the resolution of WW2.
4) Jews made better use of their land than the original Ottoman/Arab landowners. “Israelis like to build, Arabs like to bomb and…” Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, where gay people can have their relationship legally recognized.
People bring up these points because they believe Israelis have made “better use” of the land than their Palestinian Arabs counterparts, therefore Jews deserve the land. This is not how sovereignty works. Imperial Japan was famous for using this argument to justify the annexing/colonization of Okinawa/Taiwan/Manchuria/Korea/etc. This was almost universally condemned, and Imperial Japan is nothing more than two mushroom clouds over the ash heap of history. Even if Japan made greater crop yields/repealed some antiquated practices/provided industrial living conditions to these colonies, doesn’t change the fact they were occupying land and people against their will.
5) Arabs live much more peaceful and prosperous lives in Israel, compared to life in Palestine. Israel grants equal rights to it’s Arab citizens, many of which are part of the Israeli government.
Just because you give equal rights to Palestinian Arabs doesn’t mean you are entitled to their land. By this logic, US can annex even more of Mexico, so long as it offers the Mexicans in the region full US citizenship. It also doesn’t solve the issue that the Arabs cannot truly be equals when a Jewish state occupies a majority Muslim region. If you believe in truly equality, you would not need to enshrine Israel as a “Jewish state,” this is just to hedge against the fact the region of Palestine is majority Arab Muslims.
6) Jews were the original inhabitants of the region, Jews have maintained a continuous presence in the region of Israel throughout history.
Regardless of who the original inhabitants of the region were, the majority of the region has been inhabited by Arab Muslims for the past few centuries. If you believe being the original inhabitants entitles you to the land forever, does that mean the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand have to return the land to the indigenous population? These indigenous groups were displaced within the past 5 centuries, with some regions still being majority indigenous until the past 2 centuries, whereas Jews did not administer the region for over a millennium. I understand this is a very serious part of your identity, with the name “Palestine” already being a huge scar in your ethnic history, but we cannot undo these tragic events in your history. America is named after an Italian explorer, our capital is named after a colonizer and a slaveowner. The Jews are not the only ones who have historical trauma.
7) There was no such thing as a “Palestinian” identity until recently, they were just Arabs. Arabs have 22 countries, why can’t they accept there being one Jewish state?
Most serious people are not saying there cannot be a Jewish state. They are merely arguing that you cannot establish a Jewish state over land that is already inhabited by Arabs. Just because Arabs have a lot of land, doesn’t mean you are entitled to some of their land. By this logic, Korea is entitled to some of China’s land, Bangladesh is entitled to some of India’s land, and Mongolia is entitled to some of Russia’s land. It doesn’t matter whether the Arabs considered themselves distinctly Palestinian, they are not Jewish and do not want to be under a Jewish state.
8) Israel has always been willing to give concessions for peace, but the Palestinians always reject peace treaties.
From the very start, these peace proposals have been favored towards Israel. The 1947 borders gave the Jewish minority sovereignty over the majority of land in the region. Other sore spots include Israel wanting sovereignty over East Jerusalem, and Israel wanting their borders to encompass areas with arable land and water sources. A two state solution is already a large concession for the Palestinans to make, Israel should offer more concessions.
9) Israel wants peace, but the Palestinians choose terrorism. Israel has no choice but to make “hard decisions” for its own security. The Arab League/Muslim Brotherhood/Iran all want us blown off the map.
Palestinians had no interest in being under a Jewish state, yet it was imposed against their will. It is not unlike the Macabbeans, who revolted against their Seleucid occupiers. You can’t occupy/displace people and then be shocked when they fight back. Israel is not a perfect victim, it exacerbated the problem when it bankrolled extremists groups in Palestine in order to destabilize the opposition. While I acknowledge Israel has legitimate security concerns from hostile neighbors, what did you expect when you displaced Muslims to establish a Jewish state in a region dominated by Muslims?
Ideally, the region of Palestine should have been one state, where the rights of the Jewish minority would be enshrined in its constitution. Ultimately, I recognize that Israel has existed for almost 75 years, and at this point the one-state solution is no longer viable. Most of the world has made the right steps in accepting Israel as a member of the world. I wrote this post because I wanted to point out that the framework of the two state solution should have never been used in the first place, and the two state solution is the consequence of the UN’s failure to objectively solve the problem in 1947.

Note:… Who could possibly believe that protection from genocide only applies to people living in Israel?
When political leaders speak of genocide, they repeat a timeworn mantra: “Never again.”
Over the past year, for the Palestinians of Gaza, “again” has become reality – mass casualties broadcast almost in real time by its victims.
This film is about an alternative version of that reality – the one told by major Western news organisations – and how it has provided cover for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Based on interviews with more than a dozen insiders, it lifts the curtain on the inner workings of agenda-setting outlets like CNN, the BBC and The New York Times.

National Jewish hero or radical Zionist paramilitary leader? Avraham Stern was the leader of the Stern Gang, one of the Jewish armed groups that fought the British Mandate in Palestine in the 1930s and early ’40s. This film tells his story through his own son and a range of contemporary historians.
It presents both pro- and anti-Zionist sides of a controversial narrative – who Stern was, how he set up and ran the Stern Gang and how he led it in fighting the British administration and Palestinians with the ultimate aim of founding a Jewish state.
Some historians believe he may have collaborated with the Nazis and accepted money and weapons in a deal that enabled them to ship large numbers of Jews from Germany to Palestine.
Whatever the evidence, this is fascinating insight into a major figure in the Jewish movement that led to the creation of Israel.

“Carl Jung speaks to the necessity of withdrawing our projections from a historical or external (“chosen one”) figure (Jesus, in this case) if we are to discover experientially the “Christ within,” or the Self.  Carl Jung writes, “The Self (or Christ) is present in everybody a priori, but as a rule in an unconscious condition to begin with.  But it is a definite experience of later life,  when this fact becomes conscious within (Sef-Empathy).  It is only real when it happens, and it can happen only when you withdraw your projections from an ( extrensic ) outward historical or metaphysical Christ and thus wake up Christ within.” (CW:18:par.1638) If Christ remains outside us, either as an example of an ideal or as an external object of worship only, the deeper levels of the soul are never engaged. The result is that religion and religious practice may deteriorate into adherence to rational dogma and trying to follow a set of external rules.
Establishing an Empathic relationship with our “exiled parts” (IFS) is the true path to healing from within calmly aligned with the True Self that is “a priori” in everyone, yet suppressed by cultures of “domination” for thousands of years.

Question to AI: What are “The laws of Chaos” about in ACIM?

AI:  You are right to point out that while A Course in Miracles does not specifically talk about concrete “laws of chaos” in the way we might traditionally think of them, it does describe a system of principles (belief systems) that tend to promote and govern the experience of illusions.

Here’s how you could think about it:

The Illusion of Separation:

This is the foundational illusion, the bedrock upon which all other illusions are built. It’s the belief that we are separate individuals, distinct from each other and from God. This separation leads to fear, guilt, and a constant struggle for survival and validation.

 ACIM emphasizes that we are all part of a unified, loving God.
However, we experience a “sense of separation” due to our belief in a separate self.  This “separation creates the illusion” of chaos, pain, and conflict. 

The Ego’s Role: The ego, the part of us that identifies with the separate self, uses fear, judgment, and guilt to maintain the illusion of separation. This can lead to chaotic experiences in our lives.

The Process of Healing:


The process of healing involves letting go of the ego’s false beliefs and returning to the awareness of our true, loving nature. This process can feel chaotic at times, as we release old patterns and embrace new ways of being.

The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is central to healing and transcending chaos. By forgiving ourselves and others, we release the anger, resentment, and fear that perpetuate the illusion of separation.

While it may seem like chaos and uncertainty are constant, ACIM offers a different perspective. It suggests that these experiences are opportunities for spiritual growth and a chance to choose love over fear.

The Laws of Perception:

The ego, which thrives on separation, operates through a system of distorted perceptions. It interprets everything through the lens of fear and judgment, creating a world of scarcity, competition, and conflict. This distorted perception is what makes the world seem chaotic and unpredictable.

 The Law of Attraction:

This isn’t the “law of attraction” as you might find in New Age teachings. In ACIM, it operates on a more subtle level. The ego attracts experiences that reinforce its belief in separation. So, if you believe you’re unworthy, you’ll attract experiences that confirm that belief.

 The Law of Projection:

We project our own fears and insecurities onto others, and this creates a mirror image of our own inner chaos. This is why we often see in others what we don’t want to see in ourselves.

 The Law of Karma:

While ACIM doesn’t directly use the term karma, it speaks of a cyclical nature to our experiences. We create our own suffering through our choices and beliefs, which then lead to more suffering. This creates a cycle that can feel like inescapable chaos.

 The “laws of chaos” (illusions of projection)

In ACIM, then, are not laws in the sense of fixed rules, but rather principles (mistaken beliefs) that describe the way our minds create and maintain the illusion of a chaotic world.

Here’s a way to think about it:

Imagine a projector showing a distorted image on a screen. The projector represents the ego, and the distorted image represents the chaotic world we experience. The “laws of chaos” are the principles that govern how the projector works, creating the illusion of a chaotic reality.

The good news is that we can choose to shift our perception and break free from these illusory “laws.” By learning to forgive ourselves and others, by letting go of the ego’s grip, and by choosing love over fear, we can experience the true nature of reality, which is one of peace, harmony, and unity.

Do you want to explore any of these “laws” in more detail? For example, we could look at how the law of projection leads to conflict and how forgiveness can break that cycle. 

 
QUESTION to AI:

After we stop burning fossil fuels, how long will it take for the environment to return to the pre-industrial normal/stabile Co2 levels?

AI:

Factors, like melting glaciers and ice sheets, could further increase CO2 release and slow down the return to pre-industrial levels.

It is likely that it would take centuries, if not millennia, (Thousand), of years for the atmosphere to return to pre-industrial CO2 levels, even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today.

Q: Why do the wealthy world leaders, want to own and control everything, while they are in denial of climate change, is it just to keep the stock market economy growing?

AI:

You’ve hit on a complex and troubling intersection of psychology, economics, and global issues. Here’s an attempt to explain it using modern psychology and Internal Family Systems (IFS):

Modern Psychology and Narcissism:

Grandiosity and Control: Narcissistic individuals often exhibit a sense of entitlement, a need for admiration, and a strong desire to control their environment. They may believe they are superior and that rules don’t apply to them.

Lack of Empathy:

Narcissistic individuals struggle with empathy and understanding others’ perspectives. They are often focused on their own needs and goals, making it difficult to consider the broader consequences of their actions.

Denial and Projection:

To maintain their self-image, narcissistic individuals may engage in denial, minimizing or dismissing evidence that contradicts their beliefs. They may also project their own negative qualities onto others, blaming them for their own shortcomings.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Denial:

Protective Parts:

IFS suggests that everyone has different “parts” of themselves, each with its own motivations and beliefs. Some parts may be protective, trying to shield us from perceived threats. These protective parts can lead to denial, minimizing or avoiding painful realities.

Self-Preservation:

In the case of climate change, the protective parts of these leaders might be driven by a fear of losing power, wealth, and control. Denying the severity of the issue might feel like a way to protect their position and maintain a sense of security.

Unconscious Motivations:

Often, the motivations behind denial are unconscious. These leaders might not be consciously aware of the psychological mechanisms driving their actions.

The Stock Market and Economic Growth:

Short-Term Gains: The stock market thrives on continuous growth. Focusing on short-term profits can create an incentive to prioritize economic expansion, even at the expense of long-term environmental sustainability.

Cognitive Dissonance:

There is a clear conflict between the economic interests of these leaders and the urgent need to address climate change. Denying the severity of the issue allows them to maintain a less psychologically uncomfortable position.

Why This Matters:

Global Consequences:

The actions of powerful individuals can have a profound impact on the planet. Denial and inaction on climate change have devastating consequences for the environment and future generations.

Psychological

Impact: Understanding the psychological dynamics at play can help us to better understand the motivations behind these decisions and potentially find ways to address them.

Key Points to Remember:

Complexity:

This issue is incredibly complex, involving a mix of psychological, economic, and political factors.

Not All Leaders:

It’s important not to generalize or stereotype. There are many leaders who are committed to addressing climate change, and many individuals who are actively working to create a sustainable future.

Hope and Action:

Despite the challenges, there is still hope for change. By understanding the forces at play, we can better challenge denial, demand action, and work towards a more sustainable world.

It’s essential to continue the dialogue about these complex issues, to challenge harmful narratives, and to advocate for policies that protect our planet for future generations.

..::” Many years ago, someone I consider a good friend tried to corner me on this issue. Referring to the far-right in Israel I had used the term “Nazi”. He violently disagreed with the use of the term, even though he conceded that these particular people were genocidal – they were calling for the extermination of Palestinians. “The term “Nazi” should be a synonym for “Jew killer”” was what his argument boiled down to (in fact I think that’s a direct quote from that discussion). –

The problem here is one of history as well as theory. From a historical perspective it’s not clear to me that the killing of as many as 7 million people (mostly, but not exclusively, of the Jewish faith) is more worthy of recognition than the killing of 10 million people in the Congo or the killing of 100 million people in India. The common thread is that all of these atrocities were committed by Europeans – Germans, Belgians and British Europeans to be precise. The Holocaust is one of many terrible atrocities that one could cite by way of analogy when faced with a current example of a militarised population murdering civilians. –

Out of all of these examples, only the Holocaust has been universally recognised in our culture as an act of unspeakable evil. If I write a science fiction book about a guy who comes to power and starts killing people, I don’t compare my character to King Leopold or Winston Churchill (though those would be perfectly reasonable analogies). If I want to explain to someone in an instant that my character is a very bad person, I compare him to Hitler. –

If you ask anyone – even someone as thick as Konstantin Kisin seems to be in this interview – what was bad about the Nazis, they’ll have the right answer. The Nazi engaged in the systemic oppression and murder of entire categories of people (Jews, Socialists, Romani, queer people, etc). They not only committed those atrocities, they declared their intent to “rid Europe of its Jews” to paraphrase some of the language of the “Final Solution”. So when we have similar language from Israeli officials – “We will eliminate everything”, “Erase them, their families, mothers and children. These animals can no longer live.” – not to mention the killing of tens of thousands of women and children, is it not time to make the obvious analogy without fear? –

Ultimately those who argue for the sacrosanct status of the Holocaust are guilty of creating the circumstances by which the Holocaust can be repeated. Is the lesson from the Holocaust a particular lesson or a universal one? Does it only apply to European Jews who were living in Europe in the 1930s and 40s? If so, then there is no lesson of the Holocaust. The exact circumstances of 1930s Europe will never be repeated; therefore there’s nothing to learn from the holocaust if you believe that all of those circumstances must be in place in order to justify an analogy. –

The only way in which there is anything to learn from the Holocaust is if we take it as a universal principle – no group should be targeted and killed just because they are members of that group. The universality of the Holocaust underlies the entire human rights framework (which was largely written in response to the Holocaust). The group in question doesn’t matter – those who have devoted their lives to human rights often cite atrocities committed against Armenians and people from East Timor as some of the worst atrocities ever. Both of those groups happen to be Christians who were persecuted by Muslims. So the cries of antisemitism make no sense either – those who are fighting against genocide fight against all of them, especially those that their own government is complicit in. –

..::” If we do not universalise the lessons from the Holocaust, if we accept that there’s something that’s sacrosanct about it, what is that thing that is sacrosanct? It’s not the number of people killed – those numbers have been exceeded in Africa and in Asia. Is it the religion of those who were murdered? Given the long history of antisemitism in Europe that seems unlikely. So what is it that gives the Holocaust this unique status? –

I don’t have an answer to this question, but I do have a guess. I fear that what makes the Holocaust against European Jews sacrosanct is the fact that they were European. African and Asian genocides don’t have the right sort of victims. Black people dying we can live with, but white people dying? Never Again (repeated over and over, and repeated by the exact same people who are simultaneously justifying the murder of thousands of Palestinian children). –

The preoccupation with one particular genocide above all others may or may not be due to racism. But it is a preoccupation that does exist. We make (mediocre) movies about escaping the Nazis, we write (and read) novels about the Nazis, and so on. It’s the one example of genocide that firmly ensconced in the public imagination. Those of us who are actually in favour of universal human rights have an obligation to use this example – the only example that the public really gets – as part of our effort to end the current genocide. –

Bassem Youssef was essentially asked what he would do if he was put in the situation of being in charge of an ongoing genocidal occupation. His answer is absolutely the right one – he would end that occupation and the genocide. But in order to get this point through the thick heads of those who seem intent on insisting that this war is like any other, we should not shy away from historical analogies, including the analogy to World War 2 when appropriate. ***

..::” What is the  meaning of the ACIM quote: “Every accusation is a confession”

AI Answer:

The phrase “every accusation is a confession” is a powerful statement from A Course in Miracles (ACIM).  It speaks to the underlying dynamics of projection, judgment, and the nature of our true Self. Here’s a breakdown of its meaning within the framework of ACIM.

Key Concepts:

The Illusion of Separation: ACIM teaches that the perceived separation between the Self and the world, including other people, is an illusion. We are all part of a unified field of consciousness, and any perceived differences are merely projections of our own minds.

Projection:

When we judge or accuse others, we are actually projecting our own unacknowledged thoughts, feelings, and beliefs onto them. We see in others what we are unwilling to see in ourselves.

The Ego’s Defense Mechanism:

The ego, ACIM’s term for the part of our mind that operates from fear and separation, uses projection as a defense mechanism to protect itself from facing its own darkness. By blaming others, we avoid taking responsibility for our own shortcomings.

How “Every Accusation is a Confession”Applies:

Self-Knowledge:

When we accuse someone, we are unwittingly revealing a hidden aspect of ourselves. The accusation is a confession of our own internal state.

Example:

If we accuse someone of being selfish, we might be unconsciously projecting our own sense of selfishness onto them. Deep down, we may be afraid of being seen as selfish ourselves, so we project it onto others.

Shifting Perspective:

Recognizing this principle can be a powerful catalyst for self-awareness. Instead of focusing on the perceived faults of others, we can use accusations as an opportunity to look inward and examine our own beliefs and motivations.

The Path to Healing:

ACIM encourages us to move beyond the ego’s defenses and embrace the truth of our unity with all beings. By recognizing the projections we make, we can begin to heal our own wounds and release the judgments that keep us trapped in the illusion of separation.

In essence, “every accusation is a confession” is a call to self-reflection and self-awareness.  It reminds us that the path to true peace and understanding lies in confronting our own darkness and extending forgiveness to ourselves and others.
