It is not through “negotiations” with Prime Minister B. Netanyahu and President J. Biden, both of whom are responsible for “crimes punishable under International Law”, that we will be able to put an end to the genocidal attack against the People of Palestine.
ليس من خلال “المفاوضات” مع رئيس الوزراء نتنياهو والرئيس بايدن، وكلاهما مسؤول عن “الجرائم التي يعاقب عليها القانون الدولي” سنكون قادرين على وضع حد لهجوم الإبادة الجماعية ضد شعب فلسطين.
What is required is a campaign which enables Israeli, U.S. and NATO combatants To Disobey Orders” and “Abandon the Battlefield”.
المطلوب هو حملة تمكن المقاتلين الإسرائيليين والأمريكيين وحلف شمال الأطلسي من عصيان الأوامر غير القانونية” و”التخلي عن ساحة المعركة”.
Principle IV of the Nuremberg Charter defines the responsibility of combatants to refuse the orders of Government or a superior … “provided a moral choice [is] possible“.
يحدد المبدأ الرابع من ميثاق نورمبرغ مسؤولية المقاتلين عن رفض أوامر الحكومة أو الرئيس … “شريطة أن يكون الخيار الأخلاقي ممكنا”.
What is required is to initiate a campaign in Israel and Worldwide to make that “moral choice” possible, to enable enlisted Israeli, American, and NATO service men and women to “Abandon the Battlefield”.
ما هو مطلوب هو بدء حملة في إسرائيل وفي جميع أنحاء العالم لجعل هذا “الخيار الأخلاقي” ممكنا، لتمكين رجال ونساء الخدمة الإسرائيليين والأمريكيين وحلف شمال الأطلسي من “التخلي عن ساحة المعركة”.

Let us have tears to our eyes in solidarity with the People of Palestine, in building a Christmas mass movement worldwide, which confronts the ongoing mass slaughter before our very eyes.
Let us recall the Christmas Truce of 1914, 109 years ago this Christmas Eve:
“Something happened in the early months of the “War to End All Wars” that put a tiny little blip of hope in the historical timeline of the organized mass slaughter that is war. The event was regarded by the professional military officer class to be so profound and so important (and so disturbing) that strategies were immediately put in place that would ensure that such an event could never happen again.” (Dr. Gary G. Kohls)
“The ordinary soldiers developed more and more antipathy and even hatred toward their own officers. Simultaneously, they started to empathize and even sympathize for the men facing them on the far side of the no man’s land.
The authorities condemned and prohibited all forms of fraternization and “live-and-let-live” in general. The officers sometimes put snipers to work when they suspected that fraternizations “threatened” to take place.
The men learned in many ways that the official enemy was in fact not the real enemy, that the soldiers on the other side were human beings just like themselves.” (Dr. Jacques Pauwels, Excerpt from his book)
The Power of Peace in the Time of War (1914): Let It Happen Again (2023)
Today, we are “fraternizing” and acting in solidarity worldwide with the People of Palestine against the hegemonic agenda of the U.S. and it allies which are waging an all-out war against humanity.
اليوم، نحن “نتأخى” ونعمل تضامنا في جميع أنحاء العالم مع شعب فلسطين ضد أجندة الهيمنة للولايات المتحدة وحلفائها الذين يشنون حربا شاملة ضد الإنسانية.
Crimes Against the Peace, War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity
Click title page to access full document (pdf)
Both Prime Minister B. Netanyahu as well as President J. Biden are responsible for “war crimes”, “crimes against peace” and “crimes against humanity” as defined under Principle VI of the Nuremberg Charter:
The crimes hereinafter set out are punishable as crimes under international law:
(a) Crimes against peace:
(i) Planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances;
(ii) Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the acts mentioned under (i).
(b) War crimes:
Violations of the laws or customs of war which include, but are not limited to, murder, ill- treatment or deportation to slave-labour or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory, murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war, of persons on the seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity.
(c) Crimes against humanity:
Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation and other inhuman acts done against any civilian population, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds, when such acts are
Disobey Unlawful Orders, Abandon the Battlefield
According to Principle IV of the Nuremberg Charter:
“The fact that a person [e.g. Israeli, U.S.soldiers, pilots] acted pursuant to order of his [her] Government or of a superior does not relieve him [her] from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him [her].”
Let us make that “moral choice” possible, to enlisted Israeli, American, and NATO service men and women.
Disobey unlawful orders! Abandon the battlefield! … Refuse to fight in a war which violates Nuremberg Principle VI, The U.N. Charter and The Geneva Convention.
Let us call upon Israeli and American soldiers and pilots “to abandon the battlefield”, as an act of refusal to participate in a criminal undertaking against the People of Gaza.
Let the World War I “Power of Peace in the Time of War” “Happen again”.
Confront corrupt politicians.
The Tears in Your Eyes
May the tears of humanity in your eyes in December 2023 be conducive to a worldwide movement to abolish and “criminalize all wars.”
Let us break the insidious narrative of a handful of Wall Street billionaires who finance America’s “humanitarian wars”, unseat the West’s “Classe politique” and establish the foundations of “real democracy by the people for the people.”

Comments :
NATO repeats the same strategy, applied since the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact in 1991. NATO is moving east in the temporarily released eastern peripheral states – but at the same time will NEVER accept if the other side did the same to the west. NATO is always lying, threatening, stealing and being violent against others. NATO unjustifiably accuses others of what NATO itself is guilty of.
*
NATO doesn´t stop… it lobbies/threatens/lures its way into the central organs of power in peripheral countries, both to the east and west, between various powers/empires. NATO then builds conflicts, rearms, militarises, sabotaging and terrorising, carrying out “false flags” and acting aggressively through media warfare. NATO covers up its own actions, or flees its responsibilities by blaming others, preferably the claimed “main adversary” in major conflicts. A U.S. congressional investigation lists 251 military U.S. operations outside its own territory since 1991 – i.e. information from the originator itself – it can be found here:

When NATO’s counterparts – the imaginary enemies who give the military-industrial complex, from which NATO originates, an alibi to profit together with the arms industry, on the behalf of people’s misery – feel threatened by NATO’s behaviour and defend themselves, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, created by NATO through words and deeds, through the build-up of conflicts. Then follows the pitiful hypocrisy: NATO is playing “the victim” of the provoked reaction, that NATO itself has created.
*
NATO always contradicts itself, and has done so for over 70 years – both in its own charter, and by calling war peace, attack for defence, by calling itself a sea power, that then tries to climb the eurasian landmasses – a reality-denying folly that would be equivalent to the counterpart sending caravans of “desert ships” – that is, camels – towards the Pacific Ocean – in the conviction of being able to walk on the water, to attack a fictitious enemy, in the form of friendly flower-wreath-bearing polynesians, who, through hospitality and exposed smiles, are believed to posess “evil eyes”, “predatory teeth” and other secret weapons (hopefully there is room for a little smile, in the midst of the glaring seriousness – by looking in the mirror and laughing at what you see. NATO and its supporters should try that sometime).
*
This example applies not only to NATO and its allies and fist-raising henchmen, but also to the situation in the Middle East, and many other places.
*
Witnessing – or living under – these power constellations and geopolitical conditions, is like living together with a dangerous psychopath in your private life.
*
Who does that voluntarily ?
*
The mass media prevent people from having objective and factual knowledge on many important issues, not just about NATO. In addition, the media and politicians constantly create lies, steal tax-collected funds and perpetrate violence/murder against innocent civilian populations in other countries. This is done in our name – without informed consent. In practice, this means that the resources extracted through taxes are used against the intended purpose, against ourselves – AND against innocent populations in other countries, who haven´t done harm to us.
