The main thread topic at today’s Moon of Alabama blog is headed by the above image which is actually typical of incidents occurring over the last 75 years in Palestine, and are familiar for those that emerged from Gitmo, Abu Gharib, and other CIA torture prisons located globally. Yes, there are many grotesque photos available that well depict the Genocide happening in Gaza, but this is from the West Bank. The narrative supplied by b is very good and can be read at the above link. Many short comments of disgust exist on the comment thread, but I went a bit farther with mine. More and more nations are bringing cases to the ICJ, many against Genocide Convention signatories like Britain, France, USA, etc., who are in violation of their honor to perform their duty as the Convention demands. The outcome here ought to be easy to see as most of the West abets the Genocide and is preventing others from trying to put a halt to it, which is what’s being done to Yemen’s Ansarallah, which is doing its duty under the Convention while elements of NATO try to force it to stop, thus breaking their duty under the Convention. So, yes, this isn’t an upbeat topic whatsoever but one that must be faced as my commentary suggests:
What b omitted saying is such treatment is SOP for Zionists--they kill and kidnap mostly at random. Their sickness is echoed in polling that reports 95% of Zionists favor Genocide and was well reflected in the statements I reported yesterday from the Israeli ambassador to Russia and its National Security Zealot Gvir. IMO, it's nearly impossible for such people to make peace and behave as normal humans. Would you want a sadistic Zionist as your neighbor? Is it possible to deprogram not just one person but millions in such a society? I'm rather doubtful that people having such fanatical levels of hatred can become normal and expected to live in close proximity to those they so zealously hated for their entire lives. And we easily see which nations abet the fanatics and thus display their level of immorality and adherence to human rights standards.
Humanity must discover a way to rid itself of hatreds used by immoral people to perform the most inhuman of crimes. Humanity must understand that the use of such hatreds is all about attaining and/or retaining power and control by the immoral people wanting to employ hatreds. In this regard, the Bidens and Trumps are one and the same, as is RFKjr. Humanity must learn to reject those promoting hatreds and rally to those promoting peaceful brotherhood/sisterhood for all except the haters. Yes, it's a time-consuming action that must be done if Humanity is to evolve to a higher plane of existence capable of accommodating more people equitably.
A few commentators seem to think it possible to deprogram portions of societies and cite Islamic extremists in Chechnya and Xinjiang as proof, although in Chechnya’s case many were reduced via Russia’s military action. I’d also point out that Islamic extremism differs from Zionist extremism, although we’ve seen how they support each other, and how the Outlaw US Empire has used such forces as members of its Terrorist Foreign Legion, although those it used in South America weren’t Islamists.

This is the 3rd time I've seen this image today. The last 2 times omit the bottom of the photo. The 1st time -- I forget now where I saw it -- shows a nail driven through the large toe of his right foot.
Horrific.
