Humanity will likely remember for centuries the beginning of a new epoch, an era whose birth pangs began with the false labor of the infamous and staged Covid pandemic, and whose painful and bloody struggle to deliver its offspring unfolded through the agony and eventual physical erasure of the Palestinian people under the terror of international genocidal policy and its crowned executor, a monstrous hybrid born of the anal fusion of the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of the USA.
In this story of the beginning of the end, the Palestinian people themselves, and the genocide against them, are merely an irrelevant and marginal object of channeling the new world paradigm, yet they are undeniably the point at which the entire modern philosophy of international relations has been vividly mirrored: all the deep and shallow shifts in rights, laws, norms, regulations, controls, and sanctions in global affairs, contrasted between the post–World War II idea of a League of Nations, of justice and rights for all, of guardians of peace and human dignity, norms and morality on the one hand, and the raw force of aggressive military, political, and media power of the “masters of the universe” on the other, a covert return to the narrative of chosen peoples, master races, and those beneath them, over whom their superiority can be exercised without fear of condemnation or sanction.
This is the breaking point at which brute force has returned to the stage: the exclusivity of the club, the mace, the hammer, the axe, the sword, woven into new technology, the menacing nuclear deterrent, and the coding of exclusivity by the percentage of national GDP allocated to armament, disguised under the pretext of enhancing defense.
That “defense” has formally and officially become permitted through the events in Palestine, as well as decades of American military and economic conduct in foreign policy, as an aggressive act of general or limited assault on others, their sovereignty, integrity, leadership, military capacities, population, infrastructure, and territory, in the name of preventing imagined, and mostly fabricated, threats.
That defense against a “potential” threat has, in the case of Palestine, reached the point where it is justified even to the level of extermination of the other through a standard genocide, which must not be named as such.
What else can be expected of a civilization that was founded and shaped through the extermination of Native Americans, genocides against countless small peoples, cultures, and religions, slavery and terror over the oppressed, the mass existential exhaustion of all “others” to their final destruction, and absolute moral and every other kind of cynicism, fertilized in the narrative of justification for eradicating others as sources of primitiveness, paganism, backwardness, non-democracy, delusion, infidelity, or perjury?
In the figure and work of the mythical monster born of the symbiosis and fusion of Netanyahu and Trump, the truth is mirrored, the truth of decades of American military and political interventions throughout the so-called “free” world. It is a truth we, due to our love for Hollywood depictions of fantastic realities, pushed far away from our consciousness, wanting to believe in the idea of a guardian of civilization and humankind, protector of freedoms and rights, while placing the power of that role, clearly only a cinematic one, into the hands of the world’s dictator and tyrant, conqueror, slaveholder, racist, executioner, oppressor, bully, promoter of apartheid, and thug, Uncle Sam.
The case of Palestine has thus become an unambiguous proof that there is no international law nor justice, nor any rules in global relations except the rule of the stronger. It has been shown not only that some can break the rules, but also that justification and rationale will always be found for such violations, to the point where violations will be denied and promoted as rights, as necessities imposed by circumstances to avoid greater threats from elsewhere.
It has become clear that not all people are equal, nor equally valuable, but that we are divided into the chosen, those with power, and those whose fate is to disappear or to serve as slaves, genetic waste discarded by the gods of the victorious side.
Through the world’s stance toward the erasure of the Palestinian people from the historical stage, a clear message has been sent: that everything in international relations is relative, and that terrorism is a legitimate and justified form of action, provided it is carried out by the USA and Israel, in the form of unannounced, sudden, and unexpected attacks on targets and individuals in other countries, without declarations of war, with the intent to sow fear and insecurity, destabilize the social order, kill political, military, religious, and other leaders, destroy infrastructure, and even target journalists, doctors, humanitarians, and scientists of other nations.
It is also evident that in this framework, others are denied the right to self-defense, the right to resist the conqueror and occupier, whereby organizing such resistance is branded as terrorism, even though its actions are limited to occupied territories. There is no historical difference here compared to the Nazi labeling of partisan resistance as banditry, treating it as uncivilized.
It is also clear that the new global reality, founded upon the annihilation of Palestinians, will henceforth entail the legalization of the outcomes of all conquests, terror, aggressions, and reprisals, grounding their legitimacy in customary law arising from Israel’s occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, as well as the earlier original occupation of free Palestinian lands through the aggressive policy of invasive Jewish settlement after World War II. Henceforth, any state that feels sufficiently powerful may occupy another under the pretext of eliminating a threat, expelling and exterminating the native population based on some alleged historical right to the occupied territory.
How does this differ from Nazi justifications for the occupation of Poland? Is not Russia also “threatened” by Ukraine’s entry into NATO? Do Russians not live on the territories Russia seeks to annex? Why do different rules apply to Israel than to Russia? All this will become central issues in international relations and the reshaping of the world’s geopolitical map.
This unscrupulous and profoundly immoral pact between the USA and Israel will undoubtedly undermine all previously established coalitions and partnerships on the international stage. Why is this happening? The only certainty is that it is not a matter of coincidence or the madness of the current American president.
The violation of all international norms, witnessed in Palestine, brings a new paradigm in which everything is permitted in accordance with circumstances, everything is relative depending on the current needs of those who wield power and force. Such a stance, backed by American leadership, can easily provoke the consolidation of international actors, who, fearing for their own future, that is, fearing the inevitability of their turn to feel the American–Israeli imperial boot, might decide to unite and launch a joint strike against this new “axis of evil.” For this symbiosis, this operational reality, unmistakably recalls Nazi ambitions, or indeed the imperial ambitions of any conquering power inscribed in the remembered parchment of human history.
I do not believe that the memory of the world’s peoples is so weak as to allow us to expect that, despite so many scars of the past, they will remain lulled into the illusion that this time their turn will not come in the process of annihilation and takeover. Everything far too strongly resembles the images, speeches, iconography, narratives, propaganda, spin, and manipulation from the historical records of the beginnings of Nazi ambitions for world domination.
That Nazi narrative of the 1930s has here been refined, perfected, accompanied by the force of an invisible “fifth column,” which, through money, media influence, and the lobbying power of Jewish communities across the globe, blocks any form of official resistance, eliminates or alters public information, blackmails and bribes opinion makers, stifles intellectual freedoms of thought, speech, association, and opposition to the uniform picture of events.
We have witnessed this many times, seeing how that lobby skillfully, effectively, and swiftly breaks the libertarian and revolutionary spirit of a Žižek, destroys U.S. Senators, British parliamentarians, and other representatives, devastates the reputations and careers of great artists, writers, intellectuals, musicians, actors, journalists, athletes, and humanitarians, often at the very first sign of opposing Israel’s “right” to commit genocide against women and children, for now of the Palestinian branch of the so-called “lower race.”
On the other hand, we have also witnessed the efficiency of the tokenizing process of many European, American, and global politicians and leaders, who have come to positions of influence, power, and decision-making solely as people’s delegates. The powerful Jewish monetary apparatus, grown out of centuries of usury, investing other people’s money, and financial manipulation, easily injects strong economic incentives and motives into the markets of cheap, popular democracies, from its digital foundations without restrictions.
We are witnesses that the political reality we thought we knew and controlled, at least as a mass, as a voting machine, is in fact merely a pinball machine played by real players, pawns of lobbies older than our notion of modern civilization. Their game begins with inserting a token and ends when they decide, when they grow tired of that machine and move on to another. In their hands lies our entire reality, or rather the illusion we believe in.
Their project surpasses the boundaries of human existence, reaching into mythological time. They are not limited by the life span of individuals, nor by immediate effects and consequences. This devotion to that mythological project reflects their deep conviction and belief in their “chosen-ness,” in their mission, in a direct covenant between them and the Creator. In this way, religious fanaticism and extremism, against which the West has allegedly fought for decades, has become a legitimate motive, a fundamental driver in shaping global reality.
All reality as we knew it has overnight been replaced with a new one in which terrorism is legitimate if you are powerful, religious fanaticism, if Hebrew, is desirable, starvation and shelling of food queues is aligned with conventions, genocide is acceptable provided you deny its existence, bribing democratically elected leadership of other states is tacitly tolerated if generous enough, seizing other people’s lands under the pretext of national interest and protection from Islamism is more than welcome, threats to statesmen and senior international officials are tolerated if you are backed by the USA, apartheid, religious and racial supremacy, mythology and mythomania of “chosen-ness,” and the entire madness growing out of such ideas of grandeur, election, and mission, as well as the crimes arising from them over decades, are broadly accepted and even applauded, so long as you can invoke the claim that Germans once tried to eliminate you in the “final solution” of the Holocaust, or that everyone has always hated you, and therefore now you have the right to kill whomever you wish, because power is on your side, even if on the wrong side of history.
This may be the rise of Israel, but it is certainly the rise of evil on the international stage, the rise of the mythological Armageddon, and it could very easily end up being the cause of the downfall of many who believe themselves untouchable, beyond consequence. All of reality as we knew it has either changed, or finally, after decades of blindness and delusion, has become clear and visible in our time of necessity.
