ISRAEL IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Dangerous Ideas with Lee Camp

Lee delves into Chris Hedges' article on how many intellectuals still remain silent on Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The exhaustive 84-page brief submitted by South Africa to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) charging Israel with genocide is hard to refute. Israel’s campaign of indiscriminate killing, wholesale destruction of infrastructure, including housing, hospitals and water treatment plants, along with its use of starvation as a weapon, accompanied by genocidal rhetoric from its political and military leaders who speak of destroying Gaza and ethnically cleansing the 2.3 million Palestinians, makes a strong case against Israel for genocide.

Israel’s smearing of South Africa as “the legal arm” of Hamas exemplifies the bankruptcy of its defense, a smear replicated by those who claim that demonstrations held to call for a ceasefire and protect Palestinian human rights are “anti-Semitic.” Israel, its genocide live streamed to the world, has no substantial counter argument.

But that does not mean the judges on the court will rule in South Africa’s favor. The pressure the U.S. will bring – Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called the South African charges “meritless” – on the judges, drawn from the member states of the U.N., will be intense.

A ruling of genocide is a stain that Israel – which weaponizes the Holocaust to justify its brutalization of the Palestinians – would find hard to remove. It would undercut Israel’s insistence that Jews are eternal victims. It would shatter the justification for Israel’s indiscriminate killing of unarmed Palestinians and construction of the world’s largest open air prison in Gaza, along with the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It would sweep away the immunity to criticism enjoyed by the Israel lobby and its Zionist supporters in the United States.

I'm one of the most censored comedians in America. I was the host and head writer of the TV show "Redacted Tonight" for 8 years until it was shut down by US sanctions. Then all of the past episodes were banned by YouTube around the world. Next my podcast "Moment of Clarity" was deleted by Spotify. My other channels are shadow-banned and suppressed -- All because I'm anti-war and anti-imperialist. You can support my work and get weekly exclusive content at LeeCamp dot net. (You can also find my podcasts now under the name "The Lee Camp Show," "Government Secrets" and "Common Censored.")

I will keep fighting. Please join me.
