Measured comments, Patrick on a worsening situation in Gaza. I admire Roger Walters as he has the courage to speak the Truth and like most of us, saddened by the recent and calculated chain of events in Gaza.

Also, Glad you made reference to the late great Edward Said, who I loved listening to and learning from, when being interviewed at length on kpfa.org listener supported radio who, to me, was a saintly man of knowledge, compassion and wisdom, who fought for his people's liberation from the oppressors of Israel.

The one-state two state solution has been tossed around for decades and has yet to be resolved, as Israel's intent is to make that nation for Jewish people only, and anyway they can get away with reducing the Palestinian population, they'll continue doing it unless stopped, by all means necessary, as their arrogance has increased each year, going back to 1948, when they "displaced" 750, 000 Palestinians from their homeland and gotten away with it. Now, they openly bulldoze Arab homes and building new "Jewish Only" homes using American taxpayer dollars. The United Nations said it's illegal and a human rights violation, but didn't impose "sanctions" on the Neo-Nazi (wannabes) Likud regime in Tel Aviv, nor used NATO aircraft for humanitarian bombing of that capital to stop it.

It's disgusting hearing or reading one-sided reports in the big, corporate media outlets backing Israeli atrocities, but I guess when you control a nations money supply and much of the media, you can call the shots with biased news coverage.

Judeo-messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only reinforced the old Jewish narrative. They are the same ideals.

The transnational, transracial, transsexual, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond peoples, races, cultures) and that are the daily sustenance of our schools, our media, our popular culture, our universities, and on our streets have ended up reducing our biosymbolic identity and ethnic pride to its minimum expression.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are death cults originating in the Middle East and totally alien to Europe and its peoples.

Sometimes we wonder why the European left gets along so well with Muslims. Why does an often overtly anti-religious movement side with a fierce religiosity that seems to oppose almost everything the left has always sought to defend? Part of the explanation lies in the fact that Islam and Marxism have a common ideological root: Judaism.

Don Rumsfeld was right when he said, "Europe has shifted on its axis," was the wrong side that won World War II, and it becomes clearer every day . . . What has NATO done to defend Europe? Absolutely nothing . . . My enemies are not in Moscow, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh or some ethereal Teutonic bogeyman, my enemies are in Washington, Brussels and Tel Aviv. The National Socialists came to liberate Paris, we did not destroy it.

No country is taking its own course in this invasion because it is a political agenda led by the UN and driven by Jews and their (political) puppets. Most people simply don't know or understand that this is a political agenda. However, some manage to understand that politicians are deliberately working to import Muslims and replace people, but that's about it, they are like a computer that cannot work because the program does not allow it.

Even the Old Testament’s "culture of revenge" had its legal and moral limits--an eye or an eye. We can see how blatantly the nation of Israel exceeds this instructive restraint. Certainly, the Sermon on the Mount was an altogether new level of consciousness over Jewish and Roman law offering humanity a better way, to which Christians themselves have rarely (truly) aspired and certainly have failed in practice.

When I look at the Divided States of America with its mostly "to the good" Bill of Rights which fails in practice (I find the 10th amendment to be troublesome to so many of our ills), it is hard for me to see a democracy emerge from the bloodshed of these many decades, though for its difficulty, it should not be dismissed out of hand. One thing is certain, and Biden has done well to confirm this for all the world to see; the USA should be castigated out of the equation. We are consistently bad faith actors towards peace. It is time the Mid East (and all other nations around the globe) tell us to shove off.

Israel faces a double demographic problem: the amount of more conservative Eastern Jews who want the entire land of Israel for Jews and rebuild the temple are reproducing at a faster rate than the more secular Western Jews. In addition the (islamic) Palestinians outbreed the Israeli’s by 3-1, so the democratic solution simply isn’t going to work. I don’t think after the past 75 years and with all the other players involved, there’s gonna be ‘peaceful coexistence’ South-Africa style. It’s a nice thought but it’s never going to happen.

The root of the problem is the conceptual fallacy underpinning monotheism.

Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through the film, than whatever B rate narrative is playing out on it.

To the Ancients, monotheism equated with monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. The formative experience for Judaism was the forty years wandering in the desert, that gave the Ten Commandments to the Old Testament. The Covenant with God. Which was basically rules for a functional society. Obey the big guy on top, don't screw your neighbors wife, or mess with his stuff, etc. Basically the basics.

On the other hand, democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The family and cycle of life as godhead. The young god born in the spring, of the old sky god and the earth mother. Though by the time of the Olympians, tradition prevailed over renewal and Zeus didn't give way to Dionysus. Which naturally creates frustration when the old people won't give the next generation their due. Even when it's gods and metaphors.

So it provided fertile ground for the story of Jesus, crucified and risen in the spring, combined with a lot of economic polarization, also not giving people their due.

Then Rome adopted Christianity as a state religion, effectively co-opting the revolution and obscuring the origins of the Trinity, while emphasizing the monotheism, because The Big Guy Rules. As the Empire was rising from the ashes of the Republic. Divine right of kings, as it became known.

The real problem is that what was effectively a Jewish guardian angel became the cornerstone for a monolithic society. The ideal became absolute.

Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The village alter is an ideal. Art is about presenting ideals. Cultures and creeds have ideals, from rules to heroes, to give them focus. It is a very powerful, centripetal dynamic, but it's not absolute, given there are always other focal points, other versions of truth and beauty. Other cultures, with their own creeds. So when the guiding principle is that the chosen creed is universal and absolute, than it cannot tolerate any others. Since they are not only false, but their existence amounts to an affront to the one true belief.

Can anyone see how we are reaching the point of reductio ad absurdum?

It's not just about the tribal brands, but the ideas and assumptions driving the whole situation.
