Caitlin Johnstone reports on the efforts to undermine the basic humanity of Palestinians:

I always get Israel apologists justifying the Gaza holocaust by claiming that Palestinians don’t value the lives of their children.
Think about what they are saying when they do this. They are saying Palestinians lack a quality that is common not only to all humans, but to all mammals. They’re saying Palestinians are animals more akin to beetles or squid, who simply reproduce and then go on with their lives in cool indifference to their offspring. They are saying this to frame Palestinians as a nonhuman type of creature whose extermination could be morally justified. So you have to make up fake stories about Palestinians being these strange subhuman orc creatures to feel okay about it. |
Orcs.
Now where have we heard that before?
Oh yes. This is how the Ukranian military describe the Russian military.
And remember how Hitler called Slavs (i.e. everyone in the Soviet Union at the time) 'untermenschen' to justify his ruthless campaign of extermination in the East.
A campaign that, at a conservative estimate, ended up killing over 20 million people - including milllions of Jews - many of them by the SS in Ukraine with Hiwi help.
Does no-one remember any history anymore and what this kind of Hitlerian demonisation of people led to?
Or is it simply that no-one but a select few cares to acknowledge that is what is happening right here, right now?
You would have thought that Israel, of all countries, would remember the history but apparently not as anyone who disagrees with them is designated a 'terrorist' (the new hip word for untermenschen) who can be killed on-sight.
Unless of course those who disagree are high profile, white westerners, like Greta Thunberg, whom they arrest and deport before they cause any real trouble.
Not that FNN is knocking Greta here.
In this case she has been very brave given that her aid-boat could have been blown out of the water with her in it and the whole incident blamed on those dastardly Russian Orcs.
