Genocide Supporters: How Can Anyone Live With Themselves After Supporting Genocidal Slaughter?

“The first time it was reported that our friends were being butchered there was a cry of horror. Then a hundred were butchered. But when a thousand were butchered and there was no end to the butchery, a blanket of silence spread. When evil-doing comes like falling rain, nobody calls out "stop!"

When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible. When sufferings become unendurable the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.”

~ Bertolt Brecht, Selected Poems

If you choose to read this, be sure you are ready to accept the fact that this country is totally based on war, murder, and genocide, and has always been that way. This is the country in which you live, this is the country of which you call great, this is the country of which you claim has the side of 'god,' this is the country that you call exceptional; but this is actually the country of war and death.

Oh my, what blasphemy I spew you say, cursing 'my' country. Well, this is not 'my' country, nor is it yours. It is a piece of land, and one that was totally and violently stolen of course, where arbitrary lines of government property ownership was claimed by rulers. When one states that "I love my country," what does that actually mean? What do you mean when you say this silly statement? Are you referring to the actual land, rivers, mountains, plains, towns, and cities? Are you simply talking about the people who migrated here from England, Europe, and around the world, and set up house by killing all the indigenous peoples and putting them in concentration camps? Or are you referring to this country in whole, meaning that you support all that this country (government) does, right or wrong, you support its wars of aggression, you worship its military, you pledge allegiance to its bloody flag and government, you agree to die for 'your' country, meaning you will die for this heinous government? When people utter these words, it is as if they have lost all reasonable manner of thought, and obviously have been brainwashed to worship rule and power, instead of understanding that they are simply here as an accident and consequence of birth; a birth of which they had absolutely no say in whatsoever.

It is obvious to me that when people make this false claim, that they are doing so out of intentional indoctrination, as a way of isolating themselves (in a collective herd) so as to be able to claim greatness and innocence where little exists. Again, and as always, this is the easy way out, and is used as a self-congratulating pedestal of egotistical false worth. This is pure unadulterated and insane hubris.

So how can such a 'great' country commit and support genocide and murder, and have a population who does little or nothing to stop it, and in fact, applauds most of the carnage that is perpetrated in their names? This country began by slaughtering the indigenous peoples, and stealing their homes and land. It was an abhorrent maniacal genocide. This was only the start of the constant brutality sought by the entirety of the ruling class of America, all supported by the masses. Since that time, the so-called 'united states' has warred with pure aggression for at least 94% of its existence. My claim, is that this aggression has never ceased.

At this very moment, the U.S. and its controlling partner, the evil Zionist Israel, are completely responsible for the most unholy genocide in the world today; that being the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of every living Palestinian in Gaza and beyond; this while they had already been relegated to living in a cage. Most of the tortured victims are babies and children, their bodies ripped apart, shot, raped, mutilated, bombed, and purposely starved to death, while all their homes and property have been destroyed. Their tortured screams are terrifying, but mostly unheard by most in this country, as they go about their texting, game-playing, and consumerism, without a thought about this heinous slaughter. This 'country' has funded this entirely with money stolen from you, it has weaponized Israel to the hilt, has sent troops and military equipment to that region, and your (not my) master called a president, the pile of excrement Trump, has stated that he is going to "take over and own the Gaza Strip," rebuilding it, once again with your money, to suit his psychotic insane wishes. What is happening in Gaza is an unbearable and inhumane holocaust of innocents, and for the most part, this population has stood by and done almost nothing to stop it.

Of course, Trump plans to take over Greenland, Canada, Panama, and elsewhere, all by fiat, and has even threatened the military takeover of these and other countries. Trump is supporting Israel first, the Saudi's, Qatar, ISIS in Syria, and other terrorists around the world. Aggressive war is being perpetrated by Trump (and Zionist Israel in many cases) in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, Jordon, Russia; with deadly threats against Iran as well. This list is growing, as Trump openly declares himself to be a 'peace' president.

As well stated by Caitlin Johnstone:

"I will never forget the Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust."

"No matter what happens or how this thing turns out, I will never let anyone my voice touches forget that 'our' rulers did the most evil things imaginable right in front of us and lied to us about it the entire time."

"I will never stop doing everything I can with my own small platform to help ensure that the perpetrators of this mass atrocity are brought to justice"

"I will never stop doing everything I can to help bring down the western empire and to help free Palestine from the Zionist entity."

"I will never forget those shaking children. Those tiny shredded bodies. Those starved, skeletal forms. The explosions followed by screams. The atrocities followed by western media silence."

This is pure premeditated murder by the U.S., by the evil Zionist Israel, by all allies of both who support this slaughter, and by every one of you who supported these atrocities, and who remain silent in the face of this immoral criminal terrorism.

How could any sleep at night and live with themselves knowing that they did absolutely nothing to stop or expose this brutal carnage that is genocidal slaughter? How could any not speak out against such evil? Any who sided with Israel during this horror deserves some blame, and all who stand silent in the face of these tortured children and innocent Palestinians are supporting genocide.

This U.S. population has been bred and raised on supporting war, cherishing those who prosecute aggressive war, waving your flags of death, and cheering on the boys in uniform who prosecute murder for this tyrannical war-mongering nation-state. Now, many have continued this insanity by supporting the real controllers of this country, Zionist Israel. This is a pathetic response to the inhumanity of man; all coming from a country that lies about being for freedom.

This is not a hate America rant, as I was born and live here too, but it is the brutal truth. While this country is run by monsters, it is willingly allowed by the masses. America should not be defined by the actions of this heinous government, it should be defined by all those who reside here outside of the dictatorial class. Individualism should determine the worth of this country, not some scum called politicians. The ruling class and its pawns in government still get the support of most all in this country, and that support has consequences. In the case of obvious genocide, great psychological damage should be broadly evident, and if not, that is a sad and pathetic statement as to the lack of morality and empathy of this so-called 'public.' Not speaking out against this genocide is the same as being a part of it, and that should shake the soul of even those who seem to lack a conscience.

"If you stood on the side of Israel during the Gaza holocaust, then that is the most important thing about you, and it always will be. It doesn’t matter if you go to church on Sunday. It doesn’t matter if you are nice to your children and your pets. It doesn’t matter if you give money to charity, support local farmers, or drive an electric vehicle. The thing that matters most about you as a person is that you supported history’s first live-streamed genocide, and it always will be the thing that matters most about you."
