Jim Kavanagh (The Polemicist)

My take on the imminent Israel attack on Rafah. A horrific disaster that's unlikely to be prevented. Next step in Israel's program of killing and expelling Palestinians. Nobody will stop it. https://thepolemicist.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/ThePolemicist_ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jimkav (Your support is appreciated.)

My take on how the Gaza genocide, the resistance battles, and the likely war with Iran will decide the future of Zionism and the Palestinian people. https://thepolemicist.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/ThePolemicist_ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jimkav (Your support is appreciated.)

and losing My pessimistic take on how Israel is achieving its main objective in Gaza, while engaged in a battle with Palestinian resistance forces that it cannot win but will turn into a high-risk confrontation with Iran that endangers the whole world (as I analyzed in my previous article: Israel’s Solution to Gaza: War on Iran https://thepolemicist.substack.com/p/israels-solution-to-gaza-war-on-iran). https://thepolemicist.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/ThePolemicist_ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jimkav Related articles (at my Substack): On current Gaza crisis:: Israel’s Solution to Gaza: War on Iran, First and Foremost, Colonialism Must End., No Respect: Bernie, Gaza, and Liberal ZionismF. rom 2021: Apartheid Does Not Have the Right To Defend Itself, Or To Exist.

In time? Israel has created a situation in which the nations of the world are watching and allowing the Palestinian people to be slaughtered and driven out, and must decide whether to continue watching Palestinians be killed at a rate of thousands per week, take the Palestinians away (which is what Israel wants), or intervene quickly and forcibly to stop it. Israel thinks that, if it acts quickly and ruthlessly enough, it can create the fait accompli of an ethnically cleansed Gaza that the world will accept, as the world did in 1948. [By the way, I am echoing “Who’ll Stop the Rain,” the Creedence Clearwater song, and, more importantly, the lesser-known but fabulous movie—one of the best Vietnam War movies, with Nick Nolte, Tuesday Weld, Michael Moriarty, Anthony Zerbe, Ray Sharkey, and Richard Masur, directed by Karel Reisz.

Israel has already achieved a lot of destruction and depopulation. It will be hard to reverse. https://thepolemicist.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/ThePolemicist_ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jimkav Related articles (at my Substack): On current Gaza crisis:: Israel’s Solution to Gaza: War on Iran, First and Foremost, Colonialism Must End.

My take on the delusional “diplomacy” on what’s to become of Gaza when and if Israel decides to stop its military assault. https://thepolemicist.substack.com/ https://twitter.com/ThePolemicist_ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jimkav Related articles (at my Substack): On current Gaza crisis:: Israel’s Solution to Gaza: War on Iran, First and Foremost, Colonialism Must End.

Rfk, Jr, and Primila Jaypal faced phony charges of "anti-semitism." Both end up defending themselves by saying, essentially, "I'm not anti-semitic because I'm not anti-zionist. I criticize specific Israeli policies and personalities, but not the Zinoist seller-colonialist project itself, which I accept." Thus, coming from different paths, they perniciously conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism. It's not the effective riposte they think.

Jim Kavanagh & Ed Curtin discuss their fellow high school alumnus, Anthony Fauci, and the confusions, contradictions, and harms of the coronavirus policies he has promoted. See our articles online at: Kavanagh on vaccine mandates: http://www.thepolemicist.net/2021/09/danger-to-society-against-vaccine.html On Jesuits & the CIA: http://www.thepolemicist.net/2013/01/sticks-and-drones-and-company-men.html Ed Curtin's website: http://edwardcurtin.com/ Comment on Japan policy cited by Jim Kavanagh in the video (from Jack Adams): I've been living here for seventeen years and know exactly what the Japanese have been doing for the last two. In a nutshell, they've been doing what the whole world has done in response to infectious disease outbreaks for the past umpteen decades. That means: -No national lockdowns or mandates. When outbreaks occurred in schools or communities, schools were closed for a short time, similar to a flu outbreak. Bar and restaurant owners were ASKED to close early and were reimbursed for lost income by local governments if they did so, Many did not and suffered no retribution as a result. Citizens were ASKED to wear masks in public buildings and most did so willingly. Mask-wearing is common during flu season so this was not a huge ask. I have never worn a mask outside and have never experienced a negative reaction from anyone. Young children are rarely masked where I live, a city of 260K. -No mass testing or contact tracing. Only symptomatic people were tested. I've never been tested nor asked to be tested. -Doctors have been allowed to treat symptomatic patients the same way they always have. That means, they've been allowed to use whatever drugs they saw fit to improve the health outcomes of their patients, including Ivermectin and many other off-label drugs, the way it used to be in the US prior to the current shit-show. The result was that few covid patients ever made it to the hospitals because early treatment was effective. -Vaccines were made available but not pushed. I received a letter from my city office with information on how, when, and where I could get the jab and that was it. No pressure. No coercion. My choice. I'm 69 years old, unvaccinated, and happier than a pig in shit that I'm not.
