After a year and a half of genocidal atrocities, the editorial boards of numerous British press outlets have suddenly come out hard against Israel’s genocidal onslaught in Gaza.

The first drop of rain came last week from The Financial Times in a piece by the editorial board titled “The west’s shameful silence on Gaza,” which denounces the US and Europe for having “issued barely a word of condemnation” of their ally’s criminality, Then came The Economist with a piece titled “The war in Gaza must end,” which argues that Trump should pressure the Netanyahu regime for a ceasefire.

It is odd that it has taken all these people a year and a half to get to this point. I myself have a much lower tolerance for genocide and the mass murder of children. If you’ve been riding the genocide train for nineteen months, it looks a bit weird to suddenly start screaming about how terrible it is and demanding to hit the brakes all of a sudden.

These people have not suddenly evolved a conscience, they’re just smelling what’s in the wind. Once the consensus shifts past a certain point there’s naturally going to be a mad rush to avoid being among the last to stand against it.

This is after all coming at a time when the Trump administration is beginning to rub Netanyahu’s fur the wrong way, recently prompting the Israeli prime minister to say “I think we’ll have to detox from US security assistance” when Washington went over Tel Aviv’s head and negotiated directly with Hamas to secure the release of an American hostage. The US is reportedly leaving Israel out of more and more of its negotiations on international affairs in places like Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Something is changing.

So if you’re still supporting Israel after all this time, my advice to you is to make a change while you still can. There’s still time to be the first among scoundrels in the mad rat race to avoid being the last to start acting like you always opposed the Gaza holocaust.

    Now that the genocide is all but over, it’s time to bulldoze the rubble, and rebuild. Within a few months of Oct 7, Kushner was already negotiating to build luxury hotels, resorts, and condos on the the Gaza waterfront. They had a game plan from the outset, which has likely been in place for a long time, just waiting for a justification to go after it. October 7 provided that tipping point.

    Then HitlerPig started talking about taking over Gaza, and controlling it, calling it the Gaza Riviera. Clearly, they want to create a Jewish Dubai, where rich Jews, and everybody else, could spend their money with somebody other than Muslims.

    HitlerPig’s “Secretary of Faith” has even come out to say that every American Christian should make a pilgrimage to Israel, or God won’t let them into heaven. Imagine if every Christian had to make the Christian equivalent of the Muslim Hajj, and they had to visit HitlerPig’s new Gaza Riviera, and stay in his hotels and eat in his restaurants?

    HitlerPig was talking about this the last time he was visiting with Genocidal Bibi, talking about America (obviously meaning himself) controlling it, and clearly making his visitor very uncomfortable. This is Israeli sovereign territory, land they consider literally Sacred. They didn’t like having to cede it to the Palestinians, and they aren’t going to like ceding it to America, or HitlerPig, any more than Palestine.

    Now that the genocide is all but over, it’s time to manage HitlerPig’s grand expectations, and he won’t like that.
