What do you 'want' for yourself? What do you 'want' for others?


This?


Or this?


20.1.2024 : Beliefs are important because they lead to actions, therefore be careful what you believe. If you think you are God's chosen people (even if you don't believe in God); If you think other people are animals; If you think you have the right to steal and occupy other people's property; If you think you can assault, injure and kill others with impunity, you will surely end up doing it. If you do not condemn such things, you condone them and if you condone them you are as guilty as those that do. You deserve to be treated as blatant hypocrites when claiming to support human rights and 'Christian' values. We almost expect such hypocrisy from our politicians but how about the leaders of religion? Are they so cowed and contaminated by ecuminicalism and the need to be 'nice', that they remain silent in the face of barbarism? How can leaders of a humane society condemn an eighty year old 'holocaust' but ignore one happening here and now without negating all that they claim to believe? You tell me.


From one Australian independent journalist and writer, painter, her name is Caitlin Johnstone ❤🤍👌
want for you whatever you want for the Palestinians.
When I say I want for you what you want for the Palestinians, I mean what it is that you really, truly want for them. Not what you pretend to want for the Palestinians. Not what you say you want for the Palestinians when you’re in polite company, or when the cameras are on you, or when you’re posting online under your real name, or when you’re speaking publicly in a language other than Hebrew.
I mean I want for you what you actually, truthfully want for the Palestinians, in your own private personal inner world. I hope you receive whatever that is.
May you receive for yourself whatever it is you want the Palestinians to receive. If you are a good person with good intentions, what I just said is a blessing of the highest order. I am wishing you life and liberty and health and happiness. I am wishing you peace and harmony and human rights. I am wishing you self-sovereignty. I am wishing you the ability to live a long life in whatever way you choose to live it.
If you are a sick person, a depraved person, a sociopathic person who has other intentions toward the Palestinians, then I have just cursed you in the worst way imaginable. I have willed that the universe give you the very last things you could possibly want for yourself. And I mean it sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
I think that’s fair. I think it is entirely appropriate that people should receive for themselves what they want for others. I think the extent of your good will toward your fellow man should come round to you in full, and I think the extent of your ill will should as well.
If what I am saying makes you feel uncomfortable, then perhaps this would be a good time for you to re-evaluate what you want for the Palestinians. Perhaps this would be a good time to assess whether your attitude toward Palestinian people is one of integrity, one which offers others the same regard with which you yourself would want to be regarded. One which truly treats others as you want to be treated. And perhaps it would be a good time to make some changes in yourself accordingly.
If you do not wish to make those changes, then perhaps this would be a good time to sincerely examine why that is. If you do not believe Palestinians ought to receive the same treatment that you yourself believe you should receive, perhaps you should elucidate for yourself exactly why that is. Perhaps you should elucidate it out loud, out in the open, under your own name, like an authentic human being.
In any case I again repeat: I want for you what you want for the Palestinians. May you receive in this life exactly what it is that you want for the Palestinians, deep down in your heart of hearts, whatever that might be. May you receive it in full, and may you receive it soon.
I offer this to you in all sincerity, whatever that might mean for you.
Amen.

More to report and please take and share
My source of information is credible
Yes. Here’s another: Francis Boyle video on Middle East Eye. He carefully reviewed S Africa’s documents. S Africa should win the first level, the demand to cease and desist. Once the ICJ rules in favor, which he is confident of, all 153 signers of the Genocide Convention will be obliged to prevent Israel’s genocide. Then the Biden administration will be collaborators for aiding and abetting Israel’s actions. (He’s involved in the case against Biden, Blinken and Austin.) Based on his previous experience with the ICJ, their order could come within a week of the hearing.Then US will stand in violation of the Genocide Prevention Act. All Americans should support what South Africa is doing. https://youtu.be/alEysJk3OWU

Just received from group working w Nations to bring Israel to Justice
Caitlin Johnstone was a contact of some other people in the LaRouche organization some time ago. I will try to contact her. She has often written things that have clarity and power. The big action in the next week will be around the International Court of justice—which is {not} the International Criminal Court. This nation of South Africa has charged Israel with the crime of genocide, and Israel has to chow up to answer, because both countries signed the 1948 Genocide Convention. If one signator accuses another signator of such a crime, the accused party must show up to respond to the charges. Here are a few items from today:
International Law Expert Expects ICJ Provisional Ruling Against Israel
The ICJ first can find that there is a “plausible risk” of Israel committing genocidal acts, according to Michelle Kelsall, senior lecturer in international law at the SOAS University of London, co-director of the Centre for Human Rights Law. Arab News quotes Kelsall: “If the court does determine that there is a plausible risk of genocidal acts being committed, it may order provisional measures in line with what South Africa is requesting, which would be in keeping with recent case law determined by the court. Notably, it does not need to determine if Israel is committing genocidal acts in order for the ‘obligation to prevent’ to be invoked, or to order provisional measures. It is sufficient that a plausible risk of genocide occurring has been proven, based on the evidence presented.”
Such evidence includes the mass casualties, but also the damage to essential health service, the destruction of homes, blockades preventing the provision of food, water and medical assistance, and widespread expulsions and displacement of Gazans. Further, genocidal intent is evidenced by the statements, including Netanyahu’s invoking the “Amalek” story. (Included in the filing are 10 pages of Israeli officials making such statements.)
Kelsall continues: Israel’s allies may be in the spotlight, as “the Court stands to make an important pronouncement regarding obligations to prevent genocide more generally, which could have ramifications for states other than South Africa and Israel.” In former rulings, the ICJ has considered the strength of political connections as a factor. “While South Africa may have limited capacity to do more than it already has (in requesting provisional measures from the court), several other states, including the US and the UK, may be put on notice of a much more significant obligation to prevent genocide.”
