“Ruthless, hateful, deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology” is a “grave threat to the world”, says former UN expert who resigned over UK, US complicity in Israel’s genocide
Craig Mokhiber, the former who resigned in November 2023 over the collusion of the US and UK in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, has issued a chilling and hard-hitting message to the world in which he warns that the involvement of the US and other ‘lawless’ world governments in supporting ‘racist and fundamentally violent’ Zionism and Israel’s genocide of Palestinians is the gravest threat to the world since the Second World War – and calls on every right-thinking person to resist.
In a social media post, Mokhiber said that “darkness is falling across the globe”, that in forty years as a human rights activist, he is never seen such “unmitigated evil” and that it is driven by “political Zionism” and that those who are “standing up in record numbers” against it are the world’s hope:
Darkness is falling across the globe. In my four decades in the international human rights movement, I have seen much cruelty in all corners of this world. But I have never witnessed the kind of unmitigated evil demonstrated today by political Zionism. Adherents of this ruthless, hateful, deeply racist, & fundamentally violent ideology are now in power in the lawless U.S. government (and that of other Western governments), putting us all at risk.
They are not only torturing, raping, & slaughtering innocents in Palestine, bombing & occupying several countries, corrupting governments across the West, arresting and deporting human rights defenders and students in the U.S., harassing those who dare to speak up, and dismantling our democratic institutions, but they are tearing down international law and the very principles of human morality itself.
No malign force since the Nazism of the 1930s has represented such a grave threat to the world. Either we will defeat it, or it will destroy us.
Thankfully, Jews, Christians, Muslims, atheists and others around the globe are standing up in record numbers to fight this evil, and that is the light that we must work to spread.
Mokhiber has long been attacked as ‘antisemitic’ because of his outspoken condemnation of Israel’s decades-long war on Palestinians and their rights and freedoms and its constant theft of their land. Israel has slaughtered at least 200,000 Palestinians in Gaza and has now resumed and intensified its slaughter, is attempting to starve around two million more into submission or leaving and is again murdering journalists and committing atrocities it barely bothers to conceal.
The US, which colluded fully in Israel’s genocide under Biden, is waging war on pro-Palestinian speech, activism and protest, telling schools and universities what they can and can’t teach, and illegally detaining and deporting those who have spoken out. Keir Starmer’s UK regime is engaged in its own war on free speech and protest – and even journalism – that exposes Israel’s crimes, misusing anti-democratic policing powers to restrict protest, and misusing anti-terror legislation, with its threat of up to 14 years in prison and its powers to detain without legal access and seize and invade electronic devices, to raid, harass, intimidate and silence those who refuse to keep silent as Palestinians are murdered, maimed, starved and tortured.

I couldn’t agree more with this pure greed lust for power impish behaviour all showing that the devils imps are amongst us but hay ho untill those open their eyes
The bench Marks for decency, against South African apartheid, the slave trade, and accepting the historical facts of the death camps, will be joined against Gaza genocide.
Craig is bang on and we are up against the Darkness who often utilise the dark arts.
But the US, The Occupation Force & most of the West have now lost their moral & intellectual leadership of the world.
We have also seen Western politicians as they really are & we will never forgive or forget.
Plus the oppressed of the world has woken up to support the Palestinians.
BDS is also working – Starbucks has lost £12b & 1,100 of its managers are being sacked.
McDonald’s has been booted out of the Middle East & KFC out of Turkey + more & more organisations are divesting from the Israeli Occupation Force’s economy.
And groups like Palestine Action are disrupting arms supplies to the Occupation Force.
The Occupation Force is also vilified in much of the world.
The Occupation Force economy has also probably been hit by now £600b which is unsustainable.
And warrants for the arrest of the Occupation Force’s leaders have been issued by the ICC for “Plausible Genocide.”
So the Light side of history is coming through.
Yours in Peace.
Get yer popcorn in the microwave, folks…but make sure you’re in yer fallout shelter when you do.
Dayglo don has said he ” isn’t joking” about (potentially) serving a third presidential term.
Yes Lumpen, Arrogant, Power Mad, Bully ‘Don The Con’ ($5 trillion tax cuts for himself & his rich mates – taking $3 trillion of it from ordinary diverse working class American’s benefits like Medicare) will have no compunction about tearing up the US Constitution which was set up to prevent megalomania.
Trump got 77.3m, Democrats 75m but 5m Americans said they would have voted Democrat but refused to legitimise its enablement of Genocide in Gaza so there was a majority against Grotesque Trump but the Democrats blew it by supporting Genocide.
The USA like the UK needs a Third, Left Wing Democratic Socialist Party with a Corbyn type programme.
Trump is merely deliberately continuing a systemic process that he inherited rather than invented.
See the compare and contrast video, for example, of the New York and Moscow subway systems embedded in this piece here…….

….or consider the figures given in one of the BTL comments in that piece from a Frank Loughry:
“I googled “how much extra has united states spent on the war on terror”
Got this result:
The United States has spent an estimated $8 trillion on the post-9/11 wars and related costs, including direct war appropriations, veterans’ care, and homeland security, according to the Costs of War project at Brown University.
By the way, lately the amount has increased to a tidy one trillion per year.
Then I googled “how much has china spent on high speed rail system”. That query returned this result
China has invested heavily in its high-speed rail system, with estimates suggesting a total cost of around $300 billion and a network of over 25,000 miles by December 2022.
China spends $209 billion a year on defense.
This year, with war raging, Russia’s Defence spending is at $145 billion. Only one sixth of our budget, and they’re kicking our ass.
I googled total cost of US health care system an got this result:
“The total health expenditure in the U.S. exceeded four trillion dollars in 2022.” That’s per capita double Europe’s cost and triple China’s cost. This is a Health Care system that gives us Covid bullshit and forces mRNA poison on us. Bringing the cost per capita cost down to comparable to Europe would save a staggering $2 trillion per year. We don’t live as long as Europeans or Chinese and over half our kids have chronic health conditions. Fix our health care system along with cutting the military and we could have bullet trains and free education and no homeless and every city could have subways just as nice as Moscow. And better primary schools and a lot of other great things.
But Trump would rather spend the money killing Gazans and Houthis.”
And that has been the case for well over a century.
