Why did the UN pick Julia Sebutinde to be president or even acting president of the ICJ knowing that she is a Christian Zionist? It seems that there is a corrupt, pro-Israel entity who is sabotaging the ICJ, or the UN. to allow any possibility of the South African report ever being approved or enforced. As a Jew, or a Christian, a Muslim, Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist, Thou Shall Not Kill should be upheld and updated into the foundation of any resolution by the UN. Until then, any ancient religious radical, rogue scripture is subject to approval. Sabutinde is a liar--how can anyone ignore the brutal genocide perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians? Especially any diplomat who is in the ICJ. Trump's chosen representative to the UN. was probably planned before he was funded and elected by his billionaire Jewish friends. . . Thank you for this thorough sub.

Quote: The name “Palestine” applied vaguely to a region that for the 400 years before World War I was part of the Ottoman Empire."

I do not know why people keep repeating this when Egyptologists have transcribed from hieroglyphs more than 5000 years old, references to Palestine, a country and Palestinians, a people, who invaded them more than once. Canaan was a region and Palestine was and is the country depicted on maps for thousands of years which some now, for the moment anyway, call Israel.

Palestine was ancient before Judaism was invented and before Romans existed.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's acknowledged even in the Wikipedia article on "History of Palestine" (https://archive.is/8oDmC). Sebutinde probably never even looked that far. And she is now the world's top judge on international relations -- and, since Truman's U.N. gives it 'authority' even on 'human rights' in intra-national (or "domestic") matters -- on some domestic affairs. And THIS is how Truman's U.N. deals with "human rights" issues -- appointing a fundamentalist Christian as the top judge.

You like Hitler's Nuremberg laws? Christianity with its New Testament is just as genocidal as Judaism is with its Old Testament. For example, the anti-Semitic statements in the New Testament, such as Hitler took very seriously, such biblical statements as, from ‘Jesus’ (as written into his mouth by followers of Paul who had never even met him and who was breaking away from his Jewish sect in order to create Paul's own entirely new anti-Semitic religion), we have: John 8:44, Matthew 23:31-38, and Luke 19:27; and from Paul, 1 Thes. 2:15-16. (Hitler even said to his followers on 18 December 1926, “The teachings of Christ have laid the foundations for the battle against the Jews as the enemy of Mankind; the work that Christ began, I shall finish.” Then, on 26 April 1933, he told the Pope’s representative, “I am doing what the Church has done for 1,500 years. I am simply finishing the job.”) You are endorsing that?

I think Nuremberg for most people is accountability under international law for atrocities rather than a Christian entity. And yes, the victors write the history and the rules and Americans have done worse and Israelis much worse than the Germans who were in the dock at Nuremberg. We are always selective. Let us hope that Israel loses because if it wins there will be no justice.

Wikipedia is unreliable on any controversial issue and totally unreliable on Palestine/Israel. There is in fact no evidence an Israel kingdom ever existed. This is just a religious fairy story. Although to state such facts would be far more than a Christian fundo could manage - trauma writ large to even consider that the Bible stories were invented and not a reality.

There is evidence for a kingdom of Judah because the Egyptians also made a note about that, around 3000 years ago, when they wandered in (from what is now Iraq) and set up camp in Palestine. Nothing about Israel or its Kings.

As Uri Avnery, Israeli peace activist, of Gush Shalom wrote before his death in 2018:

There can no longer be the slightest doubt that the Exodus never happened. Neither the Exodus, nor the wandering in the desert, nor the conquest of Canaan.

The Egyptians were obsessive chroniclers. Many tens of thousands of tablets have already been deciphered. It would have been impossible for an event like the exodus to pass without being reported at length. Not if 600,000 people left, as the Bible tells it, or 60,000, or even 6000. Especially if during the flight a whole Egyptian army contingent, including war chariots, was drowned.

The same goes for the Conquest. Because of acute security concerns, after being invaded once from there, the Egyptians employed a host of spies, - travelers, merchants and others - to follow closely the events in neighboring Canaan, in every single one of its towns and at all times. An invasion of Canaan, even a minor one, would have been reported. Except for the periodic incursions of Bedouin tribes, nothing was recorded.

Moreover, the Egyptian towns mentioned in the Bible did not exist at the time the event is supposed to have happened. They did exist, however, when the Bible was written, in the first or second century BC.

There is no need to point out that in a hundred years of frantic archaeological searching by devout Christians and Zionist zealots, not a shred of concrete evidence for the conquest of Canaan has been found (nor that the Kingdoms of Saul, David or Solomon ever existed)."

NB: Even Uri Avnery could not bring himself to use the word Palestine as the Egyptians did but opted for Canaan, the region. Or perhaps he did not know. From what I have read the name Palestine most likely came from the truly ancient God, Pales. This God, as happens with all Gods, was taken over by the Romans but was ancient before the Romans existed and was male or female, and perhaps originally, both.

The Roman God(s) Pales is/are so ancient that their number and gender is unknown. Some authorities say that Pales is male, other – female. No one is sure if there is one or two Gods. Pales has two festivals – one on April 21, the other July 7. The second festival was referred the “two Pales” (Palibus duobus). Pales watches over livestock – sheep, goats, pigs, and cows.

absolutely. even in the 60s and 70s in (European) school, we still called the place Palestine. If I read well, it were some outskirts of the UN who decided that Israel be a country (was it in 1948) - so that was before I went to school. We held on to the old name. It is beyond me, that so many Americans seem to think that that handful of murderers can call themselves the chosen people. And that is not new either - the biblical characters are already blood thirsty (even the hailed king David).

No Biblical Israel ever existed and neither did a King David or Solomon. Or at least there is not a shred of evidence that they did despite 76 years of obsessive searching by the Zioraelis.

There can no longer be the slightest doubt that the Exodus never happened. Neither the Exodus, nor the wandering in the desert, nor the conquest of Canaan.

But, even if they had it would still give Jews no rights to Palestine. Religions do not get land rights, homelands or self determination. Israel was a bastard invention on every count. The State of Hate and Lies. Conceived, birthed and functioned on hate and lies.

No matter who is president, he has to dance to the pipe of the zionist clique. There is no escaping. Remember Massie saying, that everyone in the govt has a Jewish/Zionist handler, and quite a few mostly Dems have a double nationality.

There are quite a few who have known this for a long time, but there is very little we can do. I remember reading No one dare call it a conspiracy - a thin booklet written in the 70s. The persons might have changed, but not the direction this is going. They are out there in the open, you can access their website and read their texts. But the line is drawn and I think even with all good intentions, whoever tries to do something runs into the wall of all the rest of the govt. The 5 or 6 won't make up for the basket of rotten fruit.
