Make Believe 'Global Justice'

  • The events of October 7, 2023, one recalls, began on a quiet, peaceful holiday morning. Innocent Israelis near the Gaza Strip were either still asleep in their homes, had just started going about their day, or were enjoying the Supernova music festival. All at once, thousands of rockets launched from Gaza came raining down, terrorists flew in on motorized paragliders, and bulldozers crashed through the Gaza border fence, followed by pickup trucks and motorcycles pouring over the border carrying murderous hordes intent on slaughtering them. As a result, Israelis of all ages, babies included, were cut down, raped, burned alive, and beheaded – for no reason other than living in Israel.

  • Israel retaliated, as any normal nation would have done. Nonetheless, it was viciously blamed, starting the next day, for defending its people and homeland, and pursuing the perpetrators of atrocities.

  • The use of the term "global justice" for charges against Israel is therefore an artifice -- a slogan designed to deceive the public into believing an invented people is a "just cause," as the late senior Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official, Zuheir Mohsen, admitted in 1977:

  • "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

  • Israel's war against terror, if one regards it as a fight between a civilization with laws vs. seventh-century terrorism with machetes, is the quintessence of a just war. Unfortunately, for its critics, it happens to be a righteous, justifiable, act of self-defense...

  • If Israel is committing genocide, they're really, really bad at it. They could have had genocide on October the eighth.... It's absurd. If they were trying to commit genocide, it would not have taken them 22 months." — US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, CBS News, August 8, 2025.

  • "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters." — Antonio Gramsci, Italian politician, 1924.

  • Many of Europe's leaders, in pandering to terrorists for votes, can be considered complicit in the rise of Jew-hatred and are therefore culpable for the consequences – which, ironically, look as if they will be worse for their countries than for Israel, the country they have been trying to undermine.

Today they are celebrating and congratulating US President Donald J. Trump on the release by Hamas of the living Israeli hostages as part of his Gaza peace plan. Yesterday they were trying to come up with any means they could to disregard him and undermine Israel.

On October 1, after Israel's interception of Greta Thunberg's Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said:

"The free trade agreement with Israel is cancelled immediately. The entire diplomatic delegation of Israel must leave Colombia immediately."

The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press release that read:

"Colombia reiterates its solidarity with the Palestinian people and reaffirms its compromise with multilateralism, with respect to international law and global justice."

Hamas was, unsurprisingly, delighted, saying:
