Israel’s assassinations are based on the idea that Palestinians would happily accept their dispossession but for a few evil men

“A minute of living with dignity and pride is better than a thousand years of a miserable life under the boots of the occupation.” - Yahya Sinwar from his novel, The Thorn and the Carnation

The Zionists and their imperialist backers are celebrating the murder of Yahya Sinwar just as they celebrated the murder of Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh. However the death of Nasrallah hasn’t stopped the Lebanese Resistance inflicting heavy casualties on Israel’s ground invasion and the same will be true in Gaza.
It
will not take long before more Palestinian and Lebanese resistance leaders
emerge that Israel will seek to assassinate. What cannot be assassinated is the
will of the Palestinians and Lebanese to resist Zionism, Israel’s war machine, ethnic
cleansing and dispossession.
It
was the same with the British occupation of Ireland. The blood of its martyrs
simply fertilised the soil of resistance. When the British defeated
the Easter Rising they took a bloody revenge executing
15 of their leaders.
More than
3,000 people suspected of supporting the uprising, directly or indirectly, were
arrested, and some 1,800 were sent to England and imprisoned there without
trial. The rushed executions,
mass arrests and martial law (which remained in effect through the autumn of
1916), fuelled public resentment toward the British and were among the factors
that helped build support for Irish independence.
The media doesn’t want you to see this Yahya Sinwar interview.

In the
1918 general election to Britain’s parliament, Sinn Fein won a majority of the
Irish seats.
Zionism and
Unionism were bedfellows. Ireland was partitioned in
1921 and the Palestine Mandate began in 1920
although legally the League of Nations only granted it in 1922. As Ronald
Storrs, the first Military Governor of Jerusalem said:
‘A Jewish State will be for England a little, loyal Ulster in a sea of
potentially hostile Arabism.’
James Connolly, the Irish socialist and trade unionist whom the British murdered
Zionism has proved somewhat more sturdy than its
Unionist sister owing to Israel’s political and strategic importance but just
as Ulster was established as a ‘Protestant
State for a Protestant People’ so Israel was created as a Jewish Supremacist
State, something embodied in the Jewish
Nation State Law.

The Zionists like all imperialist monsters will
celebrate the death of Yahya Sinwar who died a hero’s death. In his last
action, though his arm had been severed, he tossed a stick in defiance at the
drone which had entered the window of the building he was in.
10 Reasons People HATE Keir Starmer
The Zionists, like all stupid imperialists, believe
that executions and assassinations will destroy the will of the peoples that
they have occupied and oppressed for so long.
Both Biden and Starmer welcomed
the death of Sinwar as they had Nasrallah’s murder. Starmer, in a particularly
disgusting passage, even for this slavish poodle of US imperialism, told
the assembled journalists that no-one should mourn the death of Sinwar.

Of one thing we can be sure - no one bar his cat will be mourning Starmer's passing
I suspect that Palestinians will treat Starmer’s
remarks with the same contempt
that most British people hold
him in. One thing is for sure and that is that Starmer’s passing will not
produce any grief comparable to that of Sinwar and Nasrallah.
Alexei Sayle: 'I hate Keir Starmer'
It
is noticeable that neither Starmer nor Biden could bring themselves to condemn
Israel’s bombing of the tent encampments surrounding Al Aqsa Hospital in Gaza
and the burning
alive of men, women and children. That is real terrorism. State terrorism
but no words of condemnation emerged from either Genocide Joe or ‘Starver’
Starmer’s lips.
The
reality is that all the condemnations of Sinwar and Nasrallah as ‘terrorists’
are the dishonest verbiage of corrupt and dishonest imperialist politicians who
wouldn’t know what a principle was if it bit them on the backside.
Israel
has made clear its intentions to establish
settlements in Gaza, in total defiance of international law. The International
Court of Justice has recently declared
Israel’s occupation of both the West Bank and Gaza illegal.
Roger Casement - executed at Pentonville for High Treason even though, as an Irish patriot he owed the British Crown no loyalty
The
welcome of the corrupt neo-liberal leaders of Britain, the United States and Germany
for Israel’s murder campaign against the Palestinians and their leaders is a
demonstration that when it comes to it, might is all that is important. The
right of any occupied nation to resist their oppressors is disregarded.
The Zionist reaction to Sinwar's death demonstrates both their physical and political blindness - Sinwar was sitting on the chair not hiding behind it
Those
who regard Nasrallah and Sinwar as ‘terrorists’ are following in the footsteps
of the Nazis who likewise regarded the leaders
of the Polish, French and Yugoslav Resistance. It is always the same. Those who
conquer other peoples’ countries brand any opposition as ‘terrorism’.
