💣 From Terrorists to “Defenders”: Gaza and the Glorious Legacy of the IDF.

“Some terrorists become martyrs. Others become founding fathers.”

Once upon a time, in a land called Palestine, three little armed gangs ran wild: Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi. They bombed hotels, blew up buses, assassinated diplomats, and massacred entire villages. The British called them terrorists. Arabs called them butchers.

History, however, had a much nicer word in store: Heroes.

And so, on the ashes of bombed Arab homes and the bones of British soldiers, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were born—not from peace, not from morality, but from the bloodstained uniforms of ethnic cleansers.

Fast forward to 2025, and the descendants of those “defenders” have truly outdone themselves.

🚁 Welcome to Gaza – Your Daily Live-Streamed Genocide

No gas chambers? No problem. Just cut off the water, bomb the bakeries, target the ambulances, flatten the schools, and if that doesn’t break the spirit—starve the children.

What do you call it when:

75% of the population is displaced,
Hospitals are reduced to dust,
Aid workers are buried inside the very ambulances they served in?

“Defense.”
According to Tel Aviv.

“Self-preservation.”
According to Washington.

“Necessary evil.”
According to CNN.

But don’t you dare call it terrorism. That would be offensive—to the legacy of Irgun, no less.

🔥 From Deir Yassin to Rafah: The Method Hasn’t Changed

In 1948, Irgun and Lehi stormed Deir Yassin and slaughtered over 100 civilians. Pregnant women, children, the elderly—all expendable. It was called a “military victory” then.

In 2025, the IDF bombs a tent camp in Rafah. Children burn alive. Women die clutching their babies. And an IDF spokesperson shrugs on national TV, saying they were targeting a "known Hamas operative."

History didn’t repeat itself.
It simply never stopped.

🧬 The DNA of the IDF: Terrorism in Uniform

When the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were officially formed in May 1948, they weren’t built from scratch. They were forged directly from the underground militias that terrorized Palestine for decades:

🔹 Haganah – the largest and best organized, made up about 80% of the IDF’s early manpower.
🔹 Irgun (Etzel) – contributed around 5,000–6,000 fighters, about 10–15%.
🔹 Lehi (Stern Gang) – smaller but vicious, added a few hundred fighters, roughly 2–3%.

These groups—each branded as terrorists by the British, Arabs, and even by the Jewish Agency—became the foundation of the modern Israeli military.

So yes, technically speaking, the IDF was born from terrorism, baptized in ethnic cleansing, and raised on military superiority.

And somehow, it still grew up to be called “the most moral army in the world.”

How adorable.

🎖️ Human Shields – But Only When They’re Palestinian

It’s a miracle, really. Every single building in Gaza—every school, every hospital, every bakery—is magically a "Hamas command center."

But every synagogue, settler outpost, and military base in the occupied territories?
A sacred symbol of Israeli resilience.

Funny how the rules of war only apply to the occupied, never to the occupier.

🧽 Cleansing With a Smile: A 21st Century Brand of Genocide

What do you get when you combine:

Decades of siege,
30,000+ killed in 9 months,
Blocked aid convoys,
Bulldozed refugee camps,
And a complicit global silence?

You get a genocide so well-branded, even liberals call it “complicated.”

No need for Zyklon B. Just bureaucracy, bombs, and blank checks from Biden.

🤡 The Real Terrorists Are in Tents

Let’s be clear. In the eyes of the Israeli state, a terrorist is:

A paramedic carrying a wounded child,
A 9-year-old scribbling poems beneath rubble,
A journalist livestreaming their own death.

Meanwhile, the real “heroes” are in armored cockpits dropping U.S.-made bombs on refugee camps—all from air-conditioned bunkers.

And they still have the audacity to call themselves the most moral army in the world.

🪦 Conclusion: When Butchers Wear Uniforms

The IDF didn’t lose its moral compass—it never had one. It was built, quite literally, on the graves of those it killed.

The only thing that’s changed since 1948 is the PR strategy.

So the next time someone says, “Israel has the right to defend itself,” ask them:

“From what? From the ghosts of the children they’ve already killed?”

This is not self-defense.
This is not war.
This is not security.
This is state-sponsored terrorism, dressed in uniform and applauded by the West.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
