These unmistakable war crimes -- these crimes against humanity -- are all ignored by the great moral arbiters of the world -- the Governments of the West who are shaking their fingers not at Israel but their fists at Russia.

Western governments ignore Israel's war crimes but not all Western peoples comply with this neglect. Many thousands of demonstrators against Israel have been in the streets in South America, London, Paris, Germany, Dublin, and Israel's own Tel Aviv. But don't look for much reporting of these demonstrations in the American presstitute media.

The American presstitute media is focused on those who died in the downing of the Malaysian airliner in eastern Ukraine, in order to blame those 290 deaths on Russia. As far as the American presstitute media is concerned, the murder of 1,200 Palestinian deaths is not happening or if it is, the Palestinians deserve it for responding to Israel's oppression by firing in frustration primitive rockets that seldom, if ever, hit their targets.

What is another 1,200 murdered Palestinians? Who cares? Not Washington or the British PM in Whitehall and certainly not the Israelis. As far as Israel and the Great Moral West is concerned, 1,200 murdered Palestinians amount to nothing. They are not even chafe in the wind.

The last time Israel attacked the civilians in Gaza, a distinguished Israeli jurist, himself a Zionist, prepared a case for the UN that Israel had committed war crimes. On Israel's orders the craven but very obedient US Congress passed a resolution denouncing the distinguished jurist for defaming the pure and innocent Israeli government. The pressure from Washington and Israel on the jurist broke his commitment to truth, and he retracted his findings.

This is what the Israel Lobby and the craven American presstitute media do to everyone who criticizes Israel's crimes against humanity and Washington's protection of Israel's crimes. Anytime you see a person attacked by the Israel Lobby, you know for certain that the person under attack is the salt of the earth. The distinctive mark of a moral human being is to be attacked by the Israel Lobby and the presstitute American media.

While Israel murders Palestinians in Gaza with attacks on hospitals, schools, and civilian apartment blocks, Washington and its puppets in Kiev attack civilians in apartment blocks in the former Russian provinces of Ukraine who object to Washington's overthrow of the democratically elected government in Ukraine and Washington's installation of a Russophobic Russian-hating government in its place.

Washington has declared those in Ukraine who object to Washington's takeover of their country to be "terrorists" and is seeking legislation that will permit US troops legally to enter Ukraine to suppress the "terrorists."

David Ward, a member of the British Parliament, who has the right as a British citizen and member of Parliament to express his opinion, said that if he lived in Gaza under Israeli oppression, he would likely fire a rocket into Israel.

The British media and government have yet to criticize Israel for its crimes, but instantly attacked Ward for his "vile comments." A Conservative member of Parliament, Nadhim Zahawi wrote the Metropolitan Police demanding an investigation into Ward's statement "as a matter of urgency." The Conservative party chairman Grant Shapps declared Ward's statement to be an "incitement to violence," a felony. The craven Labour Party declared Ward's opinion to be "so vile and irresponsible" that "it defied belief."

The Liberal Democrats of which Ward is a member "utterly condemned" Ward's remarks and declared that Ward would be subject to disciplinary hearings and may permanently be expelled from the party.

There you have it. A member of Parliament in the country that invented freedom of speech expresses an honest opinion, and he is dead meat. Ward's harmless remarks killed no one. The Israelis with weapons supplied by Washington have, at this time of writing, murdered more than 1,200 people. But it is Ward who must be restrained, not Israel. Ward's remarks are declared "vile and irresponsible" but not Israel's murder of 1,200 people.

The US and UK pretend to be countries that are not afraid of the truth, where there is free inquiry and freedom to express one's views, but it is all a great lie.

The US and UK are the two greatest threats to free speech on the face of the earth. In the UK, no truth contrary to the line is permissible. In the US people who speaks the truth is put on the Watch List.

How much longer will the governments of the rest of the world regard the US and UK as homes of free speech and uplifting Western morality?

In America, the success of Israeli propaganda, never challenged of course by the US media, exceeds the success of Washington's own propaganda. Most Americans believe that Palestinian women and children are outfitted with explosive suicide belts and that "the snakes," as they are described by Israeli politicians, walk into Israeli cafes and blow everyone up including themselves.
