If you’ve yet to see the film Occupied, I would urge to do so and encourage others to do the same. The film opens on the horrors in Gaza in the last year and extends into the wider occupation of the levers of power globally. It confirms much of Critical Thinking‘s and subsequent analysis.
I do have a couple of reservations about the film:
- It tars all Jews with the same brush. Whereas, Jews have been wrapped around the cult implementing the ideology of destruction through a combination of conditioning and intimidation; this process has a long history. The Controversy of Zion and the Israeli film Defamation explain this process well.
- There is an implicit suggestion that we (non-Jews) need to fight against this threat using violence. Fighting and division is what the structure thrives on and is evident all around us today. It is said within the film that we must remove the systems of control and that is almost right.
We must replace the current structure with distributed autonomous interdependent self-organisation. Within countries and cultures, there is no reason not to capitalise on our cultural heritage but we need to recognise the validity of all cultures. Nation states and hierarchical structures have no place in the new paradigm.
Commendably, the film broaches the subject where many fear to tread, the holocaust. This one mythical, historical event is pivotal to Israel’s existence and special treatment. It is the linchpin of tyranny, not just in Palestine but globally.
In recent days, I was involved in a discussion of the current horrors, inflicted by the Israel government and IDF on non-combatant, men, women in children in Gaza. Our governments are complicit in this genocide and arguably as guilty as Benjamin Netanyahu who’s been indicted by the ICC.
Towards the end of the video, I suggest we need to de-escalate the widening conflict across the Middle East, Ukraine and beyond.
We need to take away our power because our energy and resources fuel the death and destruction. Our taxes, rents, fines, mortgages, loans etc. buy the weapons to terrorise the world.

N.B. One final remark: Max Igan‘s contribution to the film is as valuable as any of those interviewed and yet he doesn’t appear in the credits. It may have been at his own request but it struck me as odd.
