It doesn’t matter which administration is ruling Israel, the existence of the Jewish Nation State in and of itself is the threat. The same goes for the so-called United States. Down with Anglo-American-Zionist colonization.

Thank you, beautifully written, and extremely important history for everyone in the world to understand. Israel has always been an exterminationist settler colonial state. The Nakba has been ongoing since 1948!

"What we’re seeing in Gaza is not the breakdown of the Israeli project—it’s its logic taken to its endpoint."

Truth right there ⏫. IsraHELL is over...it's simply a matter of a little more time.

It is the erasure of a way of being, giving, empathy, community of care. Of respect and live. Because Palestine is the way to remember our humanity, generosity.

I still have hope but my mind keeps trying to tell me how low the palestinians chances are to stop this forever nakba. I am trying to understand the workings of that structure that keeps them in-prisoned but it’s a huge web of beneficiaries who have no intention of letting anyone near freeing Palestine. 😔

How can we bring all these fractured groups together to deal with this web of narcissistic psycho’s who manage to work together better than we do?

I agree with every word. Israel has never deserved to exist. It is an evil Zionist construct that deserves to die. The Palestinian people have suffered for too many decades at the hands of the zionists worldwide. We must stop this!

Secretary of State George Marshall knew what had been written---and told Harry Truman in 1948 that if he recognized Israel as a nation it would create a continuous cycle of violence and Israel would not rest until it controlled both sides of the Jordan, Greater Syria and Lebanon.

Of course Woodrow Wilson in 1919 said the same thing to Lloyd George and his plans to mandate a protectorate of the Jewish Zionists post-WW1--and while he was a known anti-Semitic, Wilson had read the Zionist programs of returning and taking over the entire region from its earliest conceivers of reviving Israel through its Zionist movement; and of course that goes back to the Hasmonean victories over the Seleucids and the victory went to their dynastic heads that God would now give them all of the land of David's kingdom (and then some) and was the blueprint for conquest in the second book of Maccabees that led to the Roman wars and the diaspora that led the Romans to drive them from the region...

it's not a new idea...and clearly the genocide is taught in the waning chapters of Deutoronomy and the entire book of Joshua...even the Canaan women, children and animals were to be completely annihilated.

I don't want to sound overly anti-Semitic and grant the Jewish persons the same tolerance of survival as any other people...but the mosaic conquest itself, whenever it was historically composed, was composed as a document of total genocide that grants no tolerance to anyone else.

This may be your best yet. No, Israel is not an ally of the United States; parasite is a more accurate description.

The "alliance" never made much sense from a Realpolitik American national interests perspective. Why support a hostile Crusader State in the middle of the Muslim world while hoping to gain influence over those same Muslims? And allies don't attack your own navy's ships.

Oh, Israel benefited MIC profits, right enough, but its very existence has always endangered the oil supply for much of the world, and now it is an "ally" demanding unquestioning obedience from the larger partner without whom it cannot survive. Whatever we send them is never enough, however much we praise them is never enough, our own people's needs must never be given priority over the Holy Parasite.

There are no benefits to the United States from this so-called "alliance." If nothing else, the genocide has exposed that.

Aside from the MIC and profiteers, there are the lunatic religious nuts (in power) trying to create the Armageddon that THEY believe is coming from their god. It's insane!

Excellent article Ahmad. As you rightly say and as so many of us have said on this platform before: we will never forget and may I add, never forgive.
