I have been looking over all of the reports via the Internet over these last few days about that horrific massacre of some 19 innocent Palestinian protestors by the psychotic Israelis.... And yes, this was indeed an unwarranted massacre...The Jew spew media is somehow still trying to cover for the sickness of Israel and their murder of these Palestinians in cold blood by spewing the lie that the Israelis were "provoked" into shooting innocent and unarmed civilians by saying that the Palestinians caused their own demise by "throwing rocks" and other material across the fenced border with Israel... The truth be known that the Palestinians absolutely did NOT come anywhere close to the border fence at all and were absolutely marching ONLY in Gaza's territory!.... Therefore what you see coming from the Jew spew media is absolutely nothing but pure lies...I have long wondered WHY the Israelis have been so paranoid about the Palestinians in the first place? What exactly have these people ever done to those illegal brain damaged misfits that they have been resorting again and again to outright murdering the Palestinians? These have always been important questions that absolutely need to be answered, and I just came across a most interesting article that may answer these questions...Right now, I want to present the following important article that comes from The Palestine Chronicle website, at www.palestinechronicle.com, that is entitled: "The Fear Of Palestinian Existence" that does indeed answer some of the key questions as to why the psychos in Israel are indeed so "fearful" of the Palestinians that they "had to" resort to the mass shooting of last Friday... Here is that article and I have my own thoughts and comments to follow:The Fear of Palestinian ExistenceApril 3, 2018 Thousands of Palestinians taking part in the Great March of Return. (Photo: ActiveStills.org)By Denijal JecićFear has consistently shaped Zionism’s approach towards the indigenous Palestinians. As Palestinians have been blamed for merely standing in the way of the colonizer, their removal which has entailed multidimensional policies of ethnic cleansing and genocide, has been rhetorically rationalized through Orientalist transformations of Palestinians from the original owners of the land into “Islamist” terrorists. While Palestinians face a multitude of structural and physical violence, reoccurring culminations of Israeli aggressions resulting in the mass production of Palestinian death have repeatedly highlighted the always-already dehumanized position of Palestinians in the Western political and public sphere.The Great Return March, a popular, peaceful protest of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, discloses once again that Palestinians are being blamed for their very existence by Israel and its allies. The protest is a colonized population’s call for the implementation of international law. Gazans are collectively incarcerated, besieged at land, air, and water, denied the right to return – a right that was granted in UN Resolution 194 in 1948 – for seven decades, while simultaneously facing a tremendous humanitarian catastrophe that entails the lack of food, water, and electricity. Reduced to bare existence, Israel regularly bombards them – like in the 2014 war – and tests new weapons on their bodies.It was not surprising that this time again Israel’s advanced military immediately attacked the protesters. Audio-visual material shared on social media by Palestinians shows how Israeli snipers indiscriminately shot anyone who came near Israel’s “border fence.” This banal violence that resulted in a massacre of Palestinians was encouraged by the Israeli government, largely ignored by Western governments, and legitimized by Western media.Major news outlets euphemized Israeli aggression as passive response, linguistically appealing to the readers’ implicit Orientalism and rationalizing the use of military aggression against peaceful protesters. For example, the Washington Post wrote about “deadly clashes” (March 30) and CNN narrated that Palestinians were “killed in confrontations with Israeli forces” (March 31). According to a New York Times article (March 30), which merely paraphrased the Israeli narrative, “the Israelis responded.” The same article concludes by retrospectively justifying Israel’s three wars on Gaza as a combat against “the threat posed by rockets fired by Hamas and other militant groups, and from tunnels crossing under the border.” Fox News blamed “Gaza attacks” on Hamas. Most reports included pictures of Kuffiye-wearing Palestinians throwing stones. Pictures and videos of heavily armed Israeli soldiers, or of the shootings of unarmed Palestinian civilians – though omnipresent on social media – were omitted.This fantasy of “clashes” and “confrontations” projects a conflict between two independent countries. Like the Israeli government, media deprives Palestinians of their geo-political and historical context, suggests a parity of power between colonizer and colonized, and implies that Palestinians simply die because they have to, not because they are massacred.This is also Israel’s standard rhetoric. A cable sent out by Israel’s Foreign Ministry to Israeli diplomats outlines the simple copy-paste tactic the Israeli government has perpetually employed to justify any new killings of Palestinians: as usual, the protest is demonized as “dangerous,” “premeditated,” and a “Hamas-led confrontation campaign.” All Palestinians are rhetorically transformed into terrorists fighting for Hamas, which is depicted as the world’s most dangerous terror organization capable of rapidly destroying Israel. Hence, all violence against Palestinians is necessary self-defense. Concurrently, Palestinians are blamed for their own death – like in 2014, when Naftali Bennett blamed Hamas for a Palestinian “self-genocide.”Following the narrative behind this widespread criminalization of Palestinian dissent, Palestinians would not protest because of unsustainable living conditions, because of the omnipresence of death, or because they are facing a brutal military occupation – but because they simply hate for no reason. These Orientalist assumptions suggest that Palestinians do not have any agency.The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defined the protests “a call for the end of the state of Israel.” The ADL is right. Palestinian demands, i.e. the implementation of international law, an end of the occupation, and the granting of human rights, would certainly lead to an end of Israel in its current forms. Indeed, Israel is based on settler-colonialism, occupation, apartheid, ethnocracy, ethnic cleansing, and genocidal policies, all of which presuppose the perpetuation of Orientalist, Eurocentric, and Islamophobic racialization and dehumanization of Palestinians, who remain simultaneously unknowable and imagined as violent. Palestinians are seen as guilty for not surrendering and for drawing worldwide attention to their struggle. Hence, they are blamed for their very human survival instinct and for not embracing their own death.Media narratives reveal that Palestinians are comprehended as a plague. If the Israeli military’s shooting of an unarmed protester is considered a “clash,” then the danger stemming from Israeli weapons is on par with the danger coming from an unarmed Palestinian. Thus, Palestinians do not need to take weapons in order to be understood as dangerous. Their existence is comprehended as an attack per se, and the visibility of that existence continues to haunt the Zionist colonial project, as Israel continues trying to make Palestinians disappear discursively and physically. – Denijal Jegić is a doctoral researcher in Transnational American Studies.

However, I have no qualms in seeing that the leadership of these psychos are using the illusion of "fear" as a psychological weapon on their own paranoid citizens as a means of purposely demonizing the Palestinians and to get support for the outright murder of innocents...The facts are that "Zionism" itself is the real sickness here.. That sick and twisted idealism has always had the goal of having ALL of Palestine for the Jews and to make sure that the Palestinians are removed from the equation permanently.... And since the illegal and criminal creation of Israel, the land stealing Jews have now conquered and are under control of well over 90% of Palestine with the eventual goal of having it all .... If Zionism succeeds then there will be no hope for a Palestinian nation and no hope for the Palestinian people... This is why I have always said that the only hope for the Palestinian people is to FIGHT BACK and to fight back as hard as they can....Again, I have been so angry at how most people even up here in Canada are not even aware of what happened last Friday in Palestine... And we can thank the Jew spew media up here for lying their asses off as badly as the liars in the US and purposely trying to either keep people in the dark to the truth or to try to distort the message to create the illusion that the Palestinians caused the massacre of last Friday!There is still so much that has not been reported about this massacre in Palestine, and I am trying my best to keep on top of the real news and present factual material here for all to see... Stay tuned..More to comeNTS
