I am reminded of the time when the British government after the Second World War changed the name of the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Defence. Semantics it may be, but it is an insidious influence that changes our thinking without our being aware. IGF it will be in my Substack articles from now on. Thanks for your relentless efforts to focus attention on what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank, despite the British government continuing to supply arms and aircraft parts to Israel, with their mealy-mouthed comments about israel’s right to defend itself. And what of the Palestinians’s rights, huh??
Well, there you go. Until WW2 that was the usual name for the military civil control department. After that terrible war, defense became the preferred attitude. Now we see aggressive wars happening, but the Israelis still call their army the Israeli Defense Forces. Go figure!!
Also important to remember this is the same orwellian use of language in the so called "defence industry": the merchants of war. As the UN Human Rights Rapporteur Francesca Albanese recently pointed out: this industry of murder tools for profit, is huge business right now.
Everywhere they talk about "defence", it's really a murder industry:
Great idea Deaglan. Language certainly matters to the Israelis.
What I’d really love to see from yourself though is a piece on how the pro-Israel lobby groups get to possess the influence they have in a Western country - such as, say, Ireland - and how they use it. Whilst much about Israel’s oppressive behaviour is evident there is plenty that is hidden.
Just how much access and influence do these ‘Friends of Israel’ groups have? I realise you aren’t a spy (or rather a ‘spy-catcher’) but you might know someone who knows someone who knows something about .. Secrecy and lack of transparency favour this kind of political activity and it’s these behaviors across the West that are enabling Israel to maintain its genocidal, destabilizing activities across the world.
I was thinking about an upcoming long-read on this very subject. A comprehensive guide to Israeli foreign influence in the West. Thanks for reading David! As always.
I’m looking forward to reading that already!! It’s baffling to me how the Israeli government have managed to assert sooooooooooooooooo much control of the narrative.
Proud to say : 'I was there! When you posted this last year'
I'm also very happy to say that I've seen a lot of people using igf on your posts so I think you're having a positive effect. Keep it up, death, death!
Yes! And the propaganda machine is a pillar of the zionist government. Sickening. Overwhelming in the US. I remain confounded at our mutual governments' deferring to every demand of these genocidal murderers. Who knew that the monster Bibi would be the de facto King of the World?
It's catching on Hizb called them this on one occasion recently and our rallies use the working more and more. It truly is the Israeli Genocidal Force. It is designed and honed for this purpose

The US Department of Defense was originally named the War Department.

Yes this is spot on.

Death, death to the IGF!

Gutless Scum Sucking Pigs I call them.
Close! I call them “fucking deranged lunatic NAZI ZIONIST PIGS”! But in any case we’re all agreed that they’re the absolute scum of the earth!
I keep hearing and seeing all these comments saying, that's just "Zionists and not all Jews"
But I ask where are all these hordes of good Jews?
Where are all the Jewish Hollywood actors and producers and entertainers and media talking heads, condemning Israels' real time genocide?
Where is Seinfeld and Spielberg and everbodys' TV and movie Jewish heroes?
Speak Good Jews? .......... . . . .crickets

Agree with the revised terminology. I also like what some people are now calling the IDF - ITF or Israeli Terror Forces.
It's catching on Hizb called them this on one occasion recently and our rallies use the working more and more. It truly is the Israeli Genocidal Force. It is designed and honed for this purpose
I did some naive probability calculations the first month of the genocide.
My curiosity was trigged by two similar stories of doctors killed with their families by bombs in their homes.
It felt like too much of a coincidence, war is random genocide is not.
Teachers, doctors and all society builders factor two in relative risk compared to average.
The genocide was visible already in the beginning and the evidence was there for anyone to find, who cared.
Indeed
I have passed your request on to those who read my articles at my Substack:

I’m sorry but I can’t refer or use any term that has “I” in it. To me it’s either
ZGF or NZGF!
ZIONIST GENOCIDE FORCES
NAZI ZIONIST GENOCIDE FORCED
FORCES
IOA… Israel Occupation Army… that is their original name… it is NOT a defence force… not by a long shot…
They are consistent across branches and segments in pursuit of genocide. IGF it is, without a doubt. It's not just their "military" segments it's their "thinking" divisions, too. https://goodizen.com/mossad-behind-sri-lanka-bloodbath-and-the-assassination-of-indira-rajiv-ghandi/
