"Apartheid Israel must be completely dismantled as an entity," Craig Murray

When the Possibility of Negotiations is Murdered by One Side, There Are Harsh Implications to Face

Craig Murray

I see the retired British diplomat, Craig Murray, as one of the senior statesmen among those who have played significant roles in helping to give some semblance of due process to the most recent round of catalytic genocide imposed on the native Palestinians of the Occupied Territories. As best as I can see from reading between the lines in some of Murray’s publications on this subject, he has played an important role, however informal, in persuading the South African government to level charges against Israel for violating the Genocide Convention.

As a private citizen Murray has attended the key proceedings at the UN’s World Court at the Hague. There the International Court of Justice has accepted its responsibilities, however imperfectly, to begin the arbitration of the genocidal onslaught that is still underway in Gaza even as the original conflagration continues to expand, proliferate and intensify. Whatever the ICJ has decided and will decide, however, it remains for the world’s governments as well as we the world’s people and peoples to find ways of enforcing the court’s rulings. Its on our shoulders.

One of the complicating issues is that all branches of the US Uniparty have been trying to outdo one another in helping the Israeli government to realize it genocidal goals and ambitions.

As Murray suggests in his short commentary below, in the presidential electioneering underway in the United States, all major candidates and their teams have taken on aspects of Israel’s suicidal obsession with realizing genocidal objectives. The government of both Israel and the USA remain tightly under the domineering sway of the same Zionist chain of command.

Craig Murray explains the stark reality that the supposed negotiations to end the genocidal onslaught have now gone over the cliff with the decision of one side to murder very publicly the chief negotiator on the other side. Now what? Craig Murray raises what has previously been unmentionable given the apparent outbreak of criminal insanity that has taken hold of the US government and its Israeli partner.

The Israeli Terrorist State

By Craig Murray

It is no longer possible to categorize the nihilistic violence of the Israeli state. It appears to have no objective other than violence and an urge for desolation.

In 24 hours Israel has murdered the man with whom it would need to negotiate hostage release in the short term and political settlement in the long term, and a key figure in its most dangerous potential military enemy which has refrained from full-on war.

In doing so it has violated the territory, indeed the capitals, of two crucial regional states.

Israel has also taken a policy decision that the mass rape of detainees by soldiers – and, somewhat strangely, homosexual rape in particular – is acceptable in war and not to be punished.

Ironically Israel has also underlined its genocidal intent in Gaza by proving that it has the technical ability to carry out targeted attacks, and that the flattening of entire cities with 2,000lb bombs and the massacre of tens of thousands of innocents has been a policy choice.

The western media appears paralysed by this. I have seen virtually no serious comment or analysis. Nor has anybody pointed out the contrast between Israel’s lies about mass rape on October 7 and Israel’s now-admitted policy of tolerating rape of detainees.

The political class seems even more paralyzed than the media class. Caught in their commitment to Zionism – basically bought and paid for – they have nothing to say about these incredible events more sensible than Kamala Harris’s zombie-like incantation of “Israel’s right to self-defence”.

The British Foreign Office has failed to produce its promised considered reaction to the ICJ Opinion on the illegality of Israeli occupation, let alone responded sensibly to Israel’s crazed paroxysm of destruction this week.

For me it is now axiomatic that there is no two state solution and that apartheid Israel must be completely dismantled as an entity. I believe that more and more people around the entire globe believe that now.

And if we have to dismantle our own political and media classes to get there, so be it.
