Why killing children is wrong
Does a State founded on the right to kill children with assured immunity from prosecution deserve the right to exist funded to kill children daily, indefinitely.
Published: 15 May, 2021

“The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks by Hamas and other Gaza-based terrorist groups that have taken the lives of innocent civilians” Biden said in remarks at the White House in Washington, greenlighting Operation Mow the Lawn for Ten days on May 10, 2021.
On May, 7 according to Israel’s Channel 12, Palestinians protesting more property theft displacements by the colonial terrorist state, threw stones at Israeli police who then stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound using tear gas, rubber bullets, and stun grenades.The crisis escalated. More than 600 people were injured, mostly Palestinians,drawing international condemnation, prompting protests around the world as well as official reactions from world leaders. The UN called on Israel to cancel their planned evictions and use “maximum restraint in the use of force” against protesters.The United Nations Security Council met for a closed session on May 10 to discuss the issue.There, they discussed issuing a statement, which was overruled by the Biden zionist Administration, giving the green light for a ‘Mow the Lawn’ operation, killing children in Gaza for a full ten-day window of gardening opportunity, to end by no later that May 21.
On the afternoon of May 10, 2021 Hamas gave Israel an ultimatum to withdraw its security forces from both the Temple Mount complex and Sheikh Jarrah by 6 p.m. When the ultimatum expired without a response, both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched rockets from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
Later that same day Israel began a campaign of airstrikes against Gaza. Operation Mow the Lawn for Ten Days. By May 16, some 950 civilian targets had been bombed, demolishing completely or partially 18 buildings, including four high-rise towers, 40 schools and four hospitals, while also striking the al-Shati refugee camp. At least 19 medical facilities were damaged or destroyed by the Israeli bombardment. As a result of the violence, at least 256 Palestinians, including 66 children died.

On May 15, 2021 after seeing footage on Al Jazeera of Israeli American strikes on civilian targets in Gaza I started writing a blog. This piece was first published on my Andrew Brel blog, May 15, 2021.
“Watching American ordnance blow up children in buildings” today, I am reminded, I have been watching zionists mass murder Palestinian children for most of my life.
From the first time I learned about the ‘State of Israel’ it was clearly a challenge, recognizing the disconnect between the facts of violent illegal child killing land-grab occupation and sanitized version of ‘Israel has the right to exist ‘ in a Zionist narrative of historical biblical rights promised by God to Abraham 3,500 years ago.
“God said if I removed my foreskin then I could have a free house in Palestine.”
Deceitful claims by a zionist funded American christian right conflated nonsensical absurdity with the ‘Right to exist as an illegal state of child murder with assured indemnity from International law’. A right to kill children daily with no statute of limitations on either the right to kill children or assured indemnity from prosecution.
A culture of indemnified child murderers that would claim reparations for the bullets they used shooting babies in the head from their generous American benefactors, while attacking any concerned onlooker with brazen nonsense often starting with that ironic deception of ‘antisemitism’.
Ashkenazim with little or no semitic provenance claiming semitic entitlement to murder semites in Palestine, accusing others of that they are guilty of.
My journey to an opinion on Palestine began over forty years ago. In that time I have visited the Middle East possibly two dozen times. Not intentionally to develop an informed view on Asia, but because London to the Sinai peninsula bordering the Red sea is a convenient opportunity for assured sun in a rainy British winter, with world class diving opportunities for scuba.
My frequent two week diving trips flying to Sharm el Sheikhs airport enabled some tourist travel in the region that included interesting Biblical locations.
Thrice I traveled to St Catherine’s Monastery, a Greek Orthodox location at the base of Mt. Sinai in the Sinai desert to see where Moses received the tablet with the ten commandments handed to him by God. The first time I went, around 2003, the monastery visit came with a safety warning. “You will be traveling into a high risk area.” The monastery was accessed by road passing through a no-mans land from which the Israeli genocide forces had only recently withdrawn. On the drive through hot desert sand I saw several burned out tanks from the 1967 Egypt Israel War, stood like horror art installations between Bedouin encampments practicing a lifestyle and religious stricture seemingly unchanged in the past thousand years. At that time it was the closest I had come to the zionist occupation in Palestine.

The Monastery of St Catherine is considered sacred by adherents of the three major Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
On one memorable occasion when I took my son by Camel up to the Monastery to show him some Greek culture, I was overheard speaking Greek by the Greek Orthodox priest in residence. This senior priest invited me into the library to chat in Greek about this very old place with its longstanding Greek connection. A fortunate opportunity for my son to hear the story from a well qualified tour guide.
Built between 548 and 565 CE by order of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, St Catherine’s is the world’s oldest continuously inhabited Christian monastery, with monks in residence for more than 1,500 years.
The monastery’s library, founded sometime between 527 and 565, is the world’s oldest continuously operating library. It preserves the world’s second-largest collection of early codices and manuscripts, outnumbered only by the Vatican Library.
It contains the largest known collection of Christian Palestinian Aramaic manuscripts and books. Christian Palestinian Aramaic was a Western Aramaic dialect that began as a vernacular between the first and third centuries CE, and emerged as a written language used by the Melkite Christian community in Palestine, Transjordan and Sinai between the fifth and thirteenth centuries.
I got to talk about Palestine two-thousand years ago and I got to see the ‘remains’ of Catherine after whom the monastery is named.
Catherine was born in Alexandria, Egypt around 287 CE, becoming a highly educated scientist and strong believer in Jesus at a time when the Romans had proscribed christianity as terrorism. Catherine was arrested for the crime of christianity. Offered the opportunity to renounce her faith and live, Catherine chose option B, which was an extremely painful form of execution intended to discourage similarly minded terrorists.
Around 305 CE Emperor Maxentius condemned christian Catherine to death on a “breaking wheel” lined with sharp iron spikes and blades designed to tear her body apart. A story so gruesome they named the “Catherine Wheel” rotating firework in her honor.
Christian storytellers tradition claims when Catherine was bound to the ‘breaking wheel’ she prayed to Jesus who sent an an angelic bolt of lightning to whack that wheel, causing its shatterance. Unfortunately Emperor Maxentius was unhappy with this proof that Jesus is real and vengeful and willing to damage his spiked wheel. Maxentius then ordered a Roman swordsman to behead Catherine.
Soon after Catherine was beheaded, angels carried her body to the highest mountain peak in the Sinai Peninsula, now known as Mount Catherine. It is not recorded whether her head accompanied her body, but the nature of this story is that you can choose to believe they did as readily as you can choose not to.
Around the 9th century, monks from the Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai discovered her perfectly preserved remains on the nearby mountain peak. They brought her relics into the monastery basilica, and the Monastery of the Transfiguration was eventually renamed Saint Catherine’s Monastery.
On days off from diving I explored the local region, on one occasion boating across the Red Sea to Jordan, from Taba through Aqaba to Petra where Indiana Jones once went adventuring. Petra is deservedly a world heritage site.
I stood under the enormous flag in Aqaba where Peter O Toole looked up and said “AQABA” in his 1962 materpiece ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. Seeing how Jordanian people live during my day in Jordan was a curiosity for me, unfamiliar as I was with seeing poverty on this scale.
One another occasion, in 2006, I hired a local driver to take me and my son, then 16, to visit the Hilton Hotel Bar in Taba, located on the Egyptian side of the Israeli border soon after it reopened following the October 7, 2004 attack on Israelis.
There we heard first hand accounts of how and why that bombing happened. A total of 31 people were killed in the October 7 attack on Israelis at the Taba Hilton. Twelve Israelis’ and one dual American Israeli were killed. Over 159 were wounded. The devastating attack occurred at around 22:00 when a powerful blast caused by two separate car bombs, each containing about 200 kg of explosives detonated in the lobby, causing the collapse of part of the hotel.
Hearing the story from the Egyptian barman was accompanied by the occasional sounds of automatic gunfire coming from about a few hundred meters south of the Israeli border, the Taba / Menachem Begin Border Crossing near Eilat. I wondered why they felt the need to keep firing machine guns every few minutes. It felt extremely uncomfortable.

The Blue Hole and the Thistelgorm are two of my favorite dive sites.
Over the years of visiting the Sinai Peninsula in Western Asia I met many locals in Red Sea resorts catering for scuba, in the tourist industry that emerged from peace talks handing back Egyptian territory after is was seized again by military force in 1967. This enabled interactions I might not otherwise have had, hearing local Egyptian accounts of Israel’s impact in Western Asia.
Israel first occupied the Sinai in 1956. The so called Suez Crisis. Israel withdrew its troops by March 1957 due to international pressure from the United Nations, United States, and Soviet Union.
Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula a second time during the 1967 Six-Day War after escalating military tensions and border closures. This occupation lasted longer. Israel held the peninsula until a phased return to Egypt following the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, finishing with the return of Taba in 1989. A 22-year occupation.
The many lucrative dive resorts established by the occupying Israeli’s in this area of the Red Sea were gradually handed back to teh Egyptian government in a phased retreat back to the border above Taba when President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak raised the Egyptian flag on March 19, 1989, declaring the return of the final Israeli held Sinai resort to Egypt.
My diving trips to the well-known Red Sea sites provided a historical context to how events in 1956, 1967 and 1973 impact on locals to this day. I visited many locations from Hurghada in the South, up to Taba in the North and many in between.
My favorite Red Sea dive location is Dahab, about fifty miles north of Sharm, that offers access to some of the most spectacular unspoiled coral reef dives anywhere in the world. I experienced living in the Bedouin community, renting an apartment in the old town, being reminded five times a day of living conditions for the Muslim locals. It was extremely dirty by our western standards of hygiene. Colonies of flies hovering undisturbed on the halal-meat in the butchery window. It felt like not much has changed there in the past six centuries which was terrific news for the corral reefs. Without exception the Muslim people I met there were courteous and respectful.
Visiting the Sinai provides many opportunities for learning about western intrusion into Asia, starting at its western most point. Seeing the locations from the conflicts and meeting people involved included participants from both sides in the 1967 conflict, socially in the context of diving the glorious reefs of the Red Sea. I met several Israelis there who had participated in the occupation. I learned early on that no visit to this region can bypass the legacy of 1967. The so called six-day-war, starting with Israel’s conquest of the Sinai.
A war that was effectively won in three days by Israel’s far superior military resources aided by American intelligence, enabling a military advantage that rendered it a no contest.
I came away from those visits and those interactions with people on both sides thinking any opinion on what is happening now and what will likely happen in the future is reliably predicted by the past.
Egypt’s leader in 1967, Nasser, responded to defeat in the six-day-war with the “War of attrition” aimed at removing Israeli occupiers from the Sinai. In those three years of bitter war, 1967 – 1970, protracted conflict in and around the Suez Canal area saw Israel bombing the key cities of Port Said, Egypt’s fifth largest City, Ismailia, situated on the west bank of the Suez Canal, and the key location, Suez, an important economic hub for its Ports and canal activity.
On April 8, 1970, at approximately 9:20 AM, when the kids were in their classroom, Israeli American Air Force F-4 Phantom jets, made by McDonnell Douglas company in St. Louis, dropped five American bombs and fired two American air-to-surface missiles into three packed classrooms at Bahr al-Baqar primary school in Egypt.
Out of roughly 130 students present 46 children were killed and more than 50 were wounded. Several teachers and staff members were also injured or killed.
Objective political analysts regard the attack as a deliberate massacre and war crime intended to affect the ceasefire agreement that took place on August 7, 1970.
The Priha Operations were a series of 118sorties against targets in the Egyptian heartland undertaken by the Israeli American Air Force during the War of Attrition between January and April 1970. The strikes were carried out almost exclusively by the F-4 Phantom II. Israel acquired a total of approximately 204 to 222 McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II aircraft from the United States between 1969 and 1976. The Bahr al-Baqar school massacre was one of 118 sorties against civilians including children between 1967 and 1970.
The Priha operations failed to achieve their objective of forcing the Egyptian government to sue for a ceasefire although they did kill countless numbers of children for which no child murderer was ever charged. Not even the supplier of the weapons for child murder faced any censure.
The town of Suez was reduced virtually to rubble by the Israeli Genocide Forces who enjoyed considerable military success bombing civilian towns. Their success was measured by civilian casualty numbers prioritizing women and children. Before the June 1967 Six-Day War, the city of Suez had a population above 262,000. Immediately following the outbreak of the war and subsequent heavy shelling and air raids in mid-1967, the Egyptian government and local authorities initiated a mass evacuation.
When the six-day war broke out in June 1967 Egypt blocked both ends of the canal to prevent its use by Israel. With the war having left the Israelis in possession of the entire east bank of the canal, the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser resolved to keep the canal closed to all shipping indefinitely to prevent the Israelis using it. Even if the political issues surrounding the canal could have somehow been resolved, its maintenance would have been economically nonviable since shippers would have been unwilling to send their uninsured vessels and crews through what was effectively a no man’s land in an active combat zone
Scuttled ships, sea mines, and other debris continued to block transport through the canal until the wake of the Yom Kippur War, after which the blockade was lifted. 15 ships were left trapped for 8 years, until the canal reopened in June 1975. By that time only two ships, the German Münsterland and Nordwind were capable of moving under their own power. The 15 trapped vessels were called ‘The Yellow Fleet’ as their decks were covered in desert sand.
The destruction of Suez and environs created a flight of some 700,000 Egyptian internal refugees. Reconstruction of Suez only began in 1973, soon after Egypt reopened the Suez Canal, following the end of the 1973 Yom Kippur War with Israel. In 1973 the United States and Soviet Union engaged in massive resupply efforts for their allies, Israel and the Arab states, respectively. This heightened cold war tensions between the two superpowers. The USSR were concerned by US military presence in Asia.
My opinions on the Israeli effect on establishing a US Military base in Asia was shaped by meeting local participants in the 1967 and 1973 flashpoints. Hearing varying accounts from both sides of this story; from its Biblical Abrahamic origins, the covenant of the pieces promising free land to any Jew who circumcised, to the 1948 Zionist terror attacks with their serial rape of hostages and ethnic cleanse genocide agenda indemnified by the US, to the regional war that began in 1967, including the astonishing Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that saw Lyndon Johnson side with Israel’s right to mass murder children and American sailors over the 34 US sailors right to justice, to the phased return of the Red Sea dive locations to Egypt, ending with the Israeli flag removed from Taba in 1989, after some 22-years.
From the outset the most glaring feature in this regional instability is the US influence on Israel’s fortunes.
This returning of Sinai land seized in the 1967 war followed President Jimmy Carter’s ‘Camp David Accords‘ signed by Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister, the British proscribed terrorist Menachem Begin, on 17 September 1978 1978, that allowed Israel until 1989 to complete.
As a direct result of the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, the Camp David Accords, The United States provides Egypt on average $2 billion annually in Foreign Military Financing (FMF). A practice that has continued for nearly four decades following the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty making Egypt the second-largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid globally after Israel.
Since the Camp David Accords stopped Egypt attacking Israel the US has spent more than $80 billion buying the Egyptian government. Currently it is the property of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who represents paid-for US interest in Gaza. The Rafah closing from Gaza to Egypt remains closed under el-Sisi, assisting the US Israeli blockade starving children and babies unflinchingly.
Today the Sinai Israeli border on the Red Sea side is in Taba. The former occupied Sinai territories to the South are now all returned to Egypt where Diving Tourism has played a significant role in Egypt’s economic and social recovery after the catastrophic wars with Israel.
There has never been any firmer test for freedom of speech than anyone looking to talk about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. I expect there has never been more money spent on one single narrative than that by the zionist entity making Israel’s right to kill children daily legal, which is why Israel continues killing children daily.
Freedom to speak about Israel is even more limited for Jews commenting on Zionist excesses, no matter how sensible they might be, especially if they are imminently sensible. The Hasbara attack dog policy places the highest value on condemning their own.
The risks of remembering and referencing the land grabbing shrink of Palestine and the 1948 Nakba, including the ethnic cleanse and theft of Lydda, are real. If you feel moved to comment on the rights and wrongs of the US funding an endless genocide for Israel’s right to exist, the only way to stay safe is to not interact at all with the zionist entity. There is no place for dialogue after almost 80-years of daily child murder explained away by the most expensively assembled propagandizing big influence complex in history.
As we watch the US retreat their vanquished forces in the Middle East to Israel, the Armageddon Samson option has never been closer. The zionist Samson option prepares contingency for the day when Israel is surrounded on all sides, interpreting geopolitical encirclement as a fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecies.
“When Jerusalem is surrounded by armies, imminent destruction is at hand.” A prophetic warning recorded in the Bible (Luke 21:20) that the evangelical Americans believe will herald the arrival of Jesus for his second coming, in a rapture.
A great reason for the religious to Stand-by-Israel with end-times weaponry. Our christian racist right really want that Armageddon bomb to explode. And they want it now. Its what the zionist media told them to believe.
If you have not visited the region, not had occasion to discuss the history of Israel with informed academics, historians, or participants in the local dynamic, and if your opinion depends on American corporate media, my recommendation is that you google pictures of “Hiroshima the day after”.
Israel’s history is not complicated. A zionist lobby owns and operates the zionist US Government, transferring trillions in resources manufacturing wars for Israel, manufacturing opinion in which “Israel has the right to kill as many children each day as it deems necessary for Israel’s right to keep grifting.”
Partying on the dirt of the dead you prayed to kill will always ensure a hearty welcome from St Peter.
If there is to be any change for future generations of Palestinian children it will come from information. Just as the emergence of terrorism led to counter terrorism, the emergence of zionist propaganda 80-years ago has led to a counter propaganda awareness in which. You cannot negotiate with mass baby murders whose goal it is to convince you that they have the right to mass murder babies and you have the obligation to pay them to do it.
Since the flow of American dollars and armaments began to the new State of Israel in 1948 there have been big winners and even bigger losers in this huge American grift by zionism.
History will record the biggest losers as the children, especially the multiple child amputee population the Dem GOP Uniparty paid to maim. Followed closely by conscripts in the genocidal entity. Both in US zionist uniform and in Israel’s nazi colors. There’s no coming back after you have ended a child’s life by following orders.
The biggest winners are the rich elites on all sides. The Kushner Epstein Trump Netanyahu gang with their billionaire backers burning the planet by the day making more money out of genocide than any elected Government in the history of legal genocide.
Over 77 years ago Nathan Chofshi, a Jewish writer who immigrated to Palestine during the Second Aliyah wrote these words in 1959 addressing the displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
“We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees. And still we have to slander and malign them, to besmirch their name. Instead of being deeply ashamed of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we committed…we justify our terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them.”
His quote appeared in the New York-based Jewish Newsletter on February 9, 1959. It was later cited by Irish journalist and researcher Erskine Childers in his landmark article “The Other Exodus” published in The Spectator in May 1961.
In “The Other Exodus,” Childers investigated the official Israeli claim that the 1948 Palestinian exodus occurred because “Arab leaders ordered the population to flee”. After reviewing BBC and US radio monitoring transcripts from 1948, Childers found no evidence of such orders, discovering instead that Arab stations were actively telling residents to stay.
In fact the ‘Exodus’ narrative of “a land with no people for a people with no land“ was a lie intended as a cover for premeditated baby murder.
From the moment Polish terrorist Ben Grühn declared the state of Israel’s right to exist as a child murder entity funded by the USA as cold war military base in Asia, they began the mass child murder spree that goes on to this day.
Under a cloak of designer deceit presented by a big influence complex zionists have spent hundreds of billions crafting, the majority in America believed that zionists were not conducting a horrific genocide.
For decades the majority of Americans believed Israel was not a culture of gang rapists, raping and murdering hostages as young as 12-years old. For decades most Americans had no idea that in August 1949, an Israeli army unit stationed near Nirim in the Negev captured an unnamed 12-year old girl, formed a rota rape schedule, and for days a brigade of zionists waited in turn to rape the child before murdering her and dumping the body in the desert. An event even Ben Gurion called an atrocity.
Most Americans do not believe zionist terrorists, proscribed as terrorist by the British for their terrorism in the British Mandate for Palestine, forced over 700,000 displaced people on death marches to Gaza while they stole over 500 Palestinian towns and villages. Those Palestinians left of their own free will after their leaders told them to. The truth is what Hollywood showed in Exodus. Paul Newman as the blue eye blonde Aryan Jew returning to the homeland God promised him right after he got circumcised.
Hollywood never did a better switcheroo on transforming mass child rapists into an entitled beneficiary race receiving trillions to enable their endless indemnified mass child murder hostage rape business. Convincing the christians in Alabama who “pray for Israel” while they watch trillions go to the rich zionists from their trailer park meth addled misfortune, because Israel deserves it. They stand for what’s right. Why else would the President Stand Ironclad behind Israel. It’s in the Bible.
Not one day has passed since the zionists began their genocide in Palestine in which they have not killed a child. Zionism is a cult of child murder. It exists because of child murder. It cannot survive without killing children.
Zionism can only keep killing children daily for as long as you keep voting for a DEM GOP Uniparty zionist government to keep on killing children in Jesus name.
All you need do to make sure the zionist cult of child murder can keep killing children every day is keep voting for it.
