The left-wing online newspaper of the trade union UN1A censors reader comments that contradict the blood libel of „genocide“

Oliver Fahrni spreads the blood libel of ‘genocide’, as the entire left-wing political caste does

Oliver Fahrni spreads the blood libel of ‘genocide’, as the entire left-wing political caste does

The article of Oliver Fahrni on Oct. 10th begins with the following:

Italy in a state of emergency

The genocide in Gaza strikes back at Europe’s governments. Italy’s neo-fascist Giorgia Meloni is in trouble.

In the Tuscan port city of Livorno, a young woman carried the photo of the murdered Palestinian journalist Marwa Musallam to the demonstration against the Israeli-American genocide in Palestine. She said: «How could I continue studying, living, flirting, eating while tens of thousands are being massacred before my eyes and with the help of my government, i.e. on my behalf? I’m not sleeping anymore.» At the same time in Milan, a trade unionist from the SI Cobas grassroots committee grabbed the microphone and screamed:

The kids that are being massacred there are our kids The dead moms are our moms The brothers…”

and further

“It was the temporary climax of a movement that had been fermenting for a long time and became spectacular in Genoa on August 30th with the departure of the aid fleet for Gaza: led by the autonomous Docker union USB, 50,000 gave the salute to the «Sumud Flotilla». The USB had previously blocked the loading of war material for Israel, in coordination with the dockers in Marseille, Barcelona, Livorno and Ravenna. Since the Israeli government hijacked the aid ships, the movement has been growing. It won’t end any time soon: new ships are on the way, Israel’s navy is already attacking them in the middle of the Mediterranean.” ….

“And next to the Palestinian flags, a banner that is currently leading the Generation Z revolt in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Nepal, Morocco and France often flutters at Italy’s protests: a grinning pirate skull and skull with a straw hat. It is taken from the Japanese manga «One Piece»”

“The intolerability of the genocide is the igniting reason, but more and more people are recognizing the connection between the global fascist wave, intensified capitalism, murderous climate catastrophe, new imperialism and the growing disregard for all human rights. They think about their situation and the various fights together.” …

and so on.

As we see and know, the ultra-left is trying to maintain its support and symbiosis with the so-called ‘resistance’ of jihadist groups and their narrative.

The attempt to build a ‘popular front’ against ‘fascism‘ (i.e. all ‘others’, the ‘enemy’ on the political spectrum) leads to a new ‘Stalinist‘ communism that is allied with a globalized jihadist political Islam.

In France it is J-L Melenchon and his ‘Islamogauchism’, in England Corbyn and his new party (and, incidentally, the Labour Party under Starmer with its dependence on Muslim voters).

My comment (the entire text, translated):

‘Those who decide on a state of emergency (Ausnahmezustand) is sovereign’, postulated Carl Schmitt, the later ‘crown lawyer’ of Nazi Germany, in 1922. The one with the authority to decide whether to suspend the normal legal order in the event of an extreme threat is the actual sovereign. The state of emergency is also the place where the true power of the sovereign becomes visible when the normal legal order fails and a decision must be made that goes beyond legality in order to ensure the continued existence of the state. Schmitt’s core thesis: the political is characterized by the friend-enemy contrast, which can even lead to the willingness to kill the enemy. [1 ] Should such a situation be brought about by a strike ? Would that prove an ‘authoritarian rule’ proto-fascist style ? A skull becomes the symbol of these protests, not a ‘Melone’ ( Watermelon, the symbol for Palestine - an allusion to Meloni ).. The childish ‘pirate’ head flag (with colonialist tropical hat?) that represents the crew of Monkey D in the manga series “One Piece”. Luffy the pirate’s dream is to become the king of the pirates… the ‘no kings’ protests send their regards.

It obviously shows what the infamous demonizing insinuation of ‘genocide’ [2] is supposed to cover up: on the sidelines of each demonstration, the Friends of the Globalized Intifada celebrate the genocidal attacks of the Gaza jihadists [3] in ritual protest riots and blind destruction (in this form a fascist action, of course [4]), without saving a single child (and not a hostage either) However, they accuse those who defend themselves against the genocidal Islamist murder gangs of ‘oppression’ or genocide’. A typical reversal of guilt.

A skull, in keeping with the genocidal death cult of Hamas and its jihadist cronies [5], so to speak.

That’s why there wasn’t the slogan “Surrender and release the hostages , then your war will be over immediately” on any sail of the ‘global Sumud’ flotilla. Sure, because this would expose the pseudo’solidarity’ slogans of pro-Palestinian ‘Gaza’ protests for what they are: calls for hatred and hunt of Jews [ 6 ].

From the river to the sea’.

Globalize the Intifada’.

Hidden by ‘anti-capitalist’, anti-’Western’ rhetoric and self-heroicizing revolutionary romanticism, this results in: ‘Socialism of the fools’ [ 7 ] What is supposed to be ‘humanitarian’ about the shipping supported by the Islamists (Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood)? Selfies of vain self-righteousness in the service of maintaining power for the Jihadists and the narrative of Iran’s ‘axis of resistance’, supported by Russia. [8 ] That is why the riots continue unabated after the occurrence of the ceasefire that has been ‘demanded’ for so long: the ceasefire is seen as a step backwards on the path to the destruction of Israel. But where a ‘communist’-totalitarian view is allied with the Islamist totalitarian Umma vision, the only result is Stalinist mullahs’ dictatorship or caliphate. One example was the Iranian ‘revolution’, which also has an active influence on this war [8 ] Does ‘the left’ remember ? Exile, torture, imprisonment or death for the communists, oppression and coercion for the progressive-minded people of Iran from 1979.

Nobody would wish the dockers or other ‘strikers’ and ‘demonstrators’ to face the conditions of those countries that are behind such ‘anti-Zionism’ (as disguised anti-Semitism) [ 9 ] and Meloni ?

‘Neofascism’ ? ‘Neoliberalism’ ? neo-post-ism ? Terms, useless for political analysis, which at most incite violent action: Triangles of agitation.

Branding the opponent as an absolute enemy, while the Gaza protests also include red triangles at Jewish institutions or shops out of ‘solidarity’ with Hamas, which uses this symbol to identify Israeli targets [10 ]

~ this is reminiscent of old Stalinist and old fascist customs.. [11 ]

So after my well-founded criticism of the Fahrni article was rejected without explanation, I wrote a second one, this time more specifically aimed at the bloodlibel ‘genocide’, without giving up the broader perspective:

The use of the word ‘genocide’ for the reasons and intentions presented in the article is a form of negation of the real genocide (Völkermord) that the Nazis carried out on the Jewish people through intent, planning and millions of executions. And all the currently real genocides worldwide. Negationism is not an ‘opinion’, in legal terms: it is Holocaust inversion or -relativization. There is not an iota of intention (Absicht), planning or execution of a ‘genocide’ by Israel against the Arab people in the Middle East, anywhere! but there is a real, anti-Semitic intent, planning and execution to continue the Nazi genocide of Jews through the death ideology and machinery of the Iranian-backed terrorist groups and the Muslim Brotherhood. Since the thirties, their ideology has been linked to imported Nazi anti-Semitism. The word Völkermord or ‘genocide’, which is used obsessively to infamously, absurdly prejudge Israel, is intended to delegitimize the state of Jewish self-determination. It is a demonization that leads to anti-Semitic actions in a globalized manner.

On the fringes of protests in Milan, Rome, Bern… or in other cities worldwide, the effects can already be seen — that ‘state of emergency’ inextricably accepted as an already self-evident part of demonstrations: Red triangles of Hamas supporters who understand and defend their intentions, ‘from the river to the sea’ — screamers and ‘globalize the intifada’ — trumpeters, as a violent mob, are terrible harbingers of what is to come.. (and in this form: fascist actions, of course) The absolute distinction between friend and enemy and the blanket branding of opponents as ‘fascist’ also belongs here. This has absolutely nothing to do with the ‘fight for social justice’. On the contrary. Hamas and its jihad cronies, not Israel, are legally responsible for civilian damage in Gaza. They initiated the war with intentional planning of the consequences.

It is the duty of every State to enforce the right of nations. So there is a universal legal responsibility to support Israel’s ongoing counterterrorism operations and the 7-front defense war in the Middle East. Even if these operations sometimes seem to violate international humanitarian law:

it is the abuse of the ‘own’ population as ‘human shields’ by the jihadists, their embedding of their military infrastructures and launch pads in schools, mosques and hospitals, a targeted food shortage through Hamas control, which underlies the resulting damage to the civilian population (=Verursachung). These actions, which have been serious violations of international law since before October 7, threaten not only Israel, but the global legal order itself. The twisting defamation campaign of the false ‘genocide’ accusation promotes a relativization and revision of history that does not compare and differentiate what is unequal, but equates it or reverses the meaning. The logical, historical and ethical order and the international legal system should be destroyed in the interests of anti-democratic states, with the help of a ‘left’ that denies its own ‘corpses in the basement’. And partly supports the Islamofascist ‘resistance’: against modernity, freedom, progress, Prosperity and universal human rights.

This text was also not adopted, without justification. Autoritarian Leftists censorship, which should be a warning to us
