Hurricane Alert! Hurricane Alert!

 

   For the next several weeks, at least until a new administration is "sworn in," as they like to say, at noon, January 20th, and perhaps for longer still, Americans and people all over the world are in danger of being blown over by hurricanes, cyclones or tornadoes generated by millions of pairs of flapping lips condemning Israel's current "intermediate solution" to its Palestinian problem. (I say "intermediate solution" because, although Gaza will likely be wiped out, Israel will be unable to call it the "final solution," because they will have not yet wiped out the Palestinians in the West Bank and the few other remaining occupied or/and encircled Palestinian settlements. See map, "The Incredible Shrinking Palestine," reflecting only the boundaries of 2005, which have since substantially changed — further shrinking the Palestinian lands, of course, as this has been an exclusively one-way progression since 1947.)

    Some early warnings of an impending lip-flapping storm are phrases like, "We had no alternative," or "They made us do it; we didn't wanna do it, we didn't wanna do it." Other examples: "Our children our wetting their beds at night, and it's seeping into the soil we just stole from Palestine," or "these random, non-guided poor-man's "ballistic" rockets are cracking our well liners and letting in the pollution that's supposed to be flowing downhill into the wretched, sorry wells we haven't yet taken from the Palestinians we've dispossessed, and are slaughtering our people by the ones and twos."

      Other early warning phrases could be something like "Schände für die Ashkenazim," (shame on the Ashkenazis) or, less frequently, "Schände für die Sephardim," (shame on the sephardics), or perhaps a few random lip-flaps like "proportional response" and "collective punishment." 

      There will, of course, be absolutely NO actual physical response from the governments of the English-speaking world, other than the flapping of lips, or "chin music," as some call it, to Israel's "intermediate solution" to their Palestinian problem. The governments (and most of the citizens) of the English-speaking world have always been able to justify the enslavement, "disappearance," torture, murder of any person, race, tribe, nationality that had something we wanted or did something we (the "governmental"or "royal" we) didn't like. 

Just ask any Burmanian, Rhodesian, Senegalian, Irishman, Indian, Ceylonese, Indonesian, etc., about the British, and as to the US, just ask any Arawak--oops, Chris Columbus, our first American Genocidalist "hero" wiped them all out--they're extinct--you'll just have to ask any Apache, Arapahoe...heck, just ask any members of the native states on the map or the list below, or get in touch with representatives of the few indian states (now "reservations") remaining.

      Other warnings of imminent lip-flapping hurricanes are official Israeli phrases like "all the so-called 'civilian' Palestinian deaths and the deaths of the midget Hamas soldiers (they've been made to look like children, from babes-in-arms to 11- and 12-year-olds, to mislead the world into thinking they were real children, so dastardly are the Palestinians--just another reason why we have to kill them all) are the Palestinians' fault, because they've deliberately bunched up in the tiny little Gaza strip, instead of spreading out over the millions of acres we've stolen from them," and "any Palestinians that we've killed in municipal buildings are by definition Hamas soldiers, because we've imprisoned all of the democratically elected civilian officials already."

    Meteorologists, apologists, politicians, propagandists and so on expect that as the Palestinians in Gaza die, the lip-flapping winds will also die down with them, and will stop completely when all the Palestinians are dead.

    Allies, supporters, lobbyists, propagandists, etc., for Israel may be exposed to higher risks of retaliatory attacks by Palestinians who escape Gaza alive or from Palestinians who can escape from the West Bank and their other Israeli-encircled or -occupied areas within the former Palestinian lands, but its unlikely.

    In any event, not to worry: the numbers of non-Palestinian and/or non-Israeli folks potentially exposed to Palestinian reprisals will never approach the 100 to 1 ratio (or greater) that the Israelis factor into their attacks. That is, Israel maintains a kill ratio of at least 100 Problematic Palestinians for every Israeli, or, as it is put in the Old Testament, "an hundred eyes for an eye." (We should note that an insignificantly small minority of biblical scholars (all of them non-Jewish, by the way), claim that this ratio is revisionist, and argue that the biblical phrase is "an eye for an eye," not "an hundred eyes for an eye.")

NOTES (Maps/lists of the peoples dispossessed by the British and Americans, disrespectfully):

Here's a list of 699 indian languages from this site. Just look at the language names (from all of the Americas, N & S and even the British Colony up North, a.k.a. The Commonwealth of Canada, I believe?). I knew we'd almost "unimated" (killed every "oneth" one, or 100%; "decimated" means, "killed every 10th one--or 10%) the people, stolen all their land 'n' all. But I wasn't aware that we'd stolen so many of their names for the land we stole from them. That would be sorta' like the Israelis leaving the Palestinian families' names on the mailboxes of the houses they stole from them, maybe stealing their whole identities — land, house, address, name, bank accounts... What else of use? Ahh, all household furnishings, clothing, cars, bicycles.

So just read through these names. So many are soooo familiar, by place name, product name (howabout Winnebago, Tabasco?), hotel names (The Algonquin), school names (I attended, in order, Seneca, Iroquois and then Irondequoit grammar, middle and high school, respectively):

Here's a map of the First American states, around 1600 (you'll have to click on it to see the whole thing; ditto the British colonies map below):

...and here's a list of 106 American states, not necessarily including all of the states noted in the map above (I can make out 90 in the legend), of what the inhabitants might have called themselves, after their state's name, had they such a word:

 Abenaki, Acoma, Algonquin, Anishinaabe, Apache, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Athabascan, Aztec, Blackfeet, Blackfoot, Caddo, Cayuga, Cheraw, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Chickasaw, Chicora, Chinook, Chippewa, Choctaw, Chumash, Coeur d'Alene, Comanche, Costanoan, Cree, Creek (Muskogee), Crow, Dakota, Delaware, Dene, Edisto, Euchee, Flathead, Gros Ventre, Gwitchan, Haida, Haudenosaunee, Havasupai, Hidatsa, Ho-Chunk, Hopi, Huron, Iowa, Iroquois, Kaw, Kawaiisu, Kickapoo, Kiowa, Lakota, Lenape, Lumbee, Maliseet, Mandan, Mattaponi, Maya, Menominee, Metis, Micmac, Mojave, Mohawk, Mohegan, Mohican, Monacan, Muscogee, Nanticokes, Narragansett, Navajo, Nez Perce, Nipmuc, Odawa, Ohlone, Ojibwe, Omaha, Oneida, Onondaga, Osage, Paiute, Pima, Ponca, Potawatomi, Powhatan, Pueblo, Quapaw, Sac, Salish, Seminole, Seneca, Shawnee, Shinnecock, Shoshone, Sioux, Tsalagi, Tuscarora, Ute, Wea, Wichita, Winnebago, Wyandot, Yavapai, Yokut, and/or Zuni.

     And here's a map of the British Colonies, around 1915. It's in the British Archives, and it may not be complete. A note on the archive's page for the map notes "This map tracing the historical development of the British empire was printed in Germany during the First World War. Probably produced for propaganda purposes, it attempts to show that most British colonies were acquired by military conquest or annexation.
