THE ISRAELI VOTERS have kept Netanyahu in power and that is with election after elections that they could have gotten rid of him. It is one of the sometimes effective safeguards of a parliamentary system that that can happen, though Israel as Britain shows, that's no guarantee. While there is a minority in Israel who oppose the aggressive fascists they have been a minority who have not elected a government in about thirty three years and, arguably, the real opponents of Israeli imperialism have never, once elected a government in the history of that country. I will note that the American presidential system is far more dangerous and inflexible and our politics has shown that even more so. I mean, American elected Trump II after it experienced the Trump I that the Electoral College imposed on us. But more of that in a minute.
It was one of the early covers-ups for the current genocide and expulsion against Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and around the area, blaming Gazans and Palestinians for having, long ago, voted for bad government. But those bad governments have kept Palestinians from voting them out of office far more effectively than the non-egalitarian, putative ethno-democracy of Israel have controlled the politics of that country. In many cases those who oppose fascism in Israel have left the country as they must realize nothing like egalitarian democracy is going to happen there. I can certainly understand why anyone with a chance to leave that disaster leaving it, I admire those who tell the truth of the matter, whether they have left or whether they remain Israelis - often working outside of it. I have said the United States should have given Jews who wanted to leave Europe the chance to come here instead of having the Zionists imperialist project getting set up. It would certainly have been better than what has happened in the past seventy six years. I think that it would probably have lessened the amount of antisemitism in the world and would certainly have saved the United States from its catastrophic involvement with the Zionist state, benefiting everyone, Palestinians, Arabs, Iranians, Jews, Americans and numerous other People who have been disastrously impacted by the situation that has developed in the region, including Africa. Zionism was the last major European imperialist scheme after Mussolini's and Hitler's, it has gone from the Labour government's more modest imperialist intentions to the psychotic-fascism's big dreams of who knows how much territory and how many Palestinians, Arabs and Iranians dead and under the regional hegemony of Israel backed up by the United States, primarily but the West which has its own intentions in the area. I think the theory that when the worst of the Western gangsters with power saw what Israel did in the Six-Day War, it saw its potential to be a basis of imposing their will on a region rich with oil and other resources as well as major shipping lanes and as a base for expanding their control. Of course, the Israeli fascists have been calling most of the shots since they took over from Labour with the man that many Jewish skeptics of Israel were warning about since the 1940s taking power, Menachem Begin. With that the old-fashioned Western lefty support of socialist Zionism began to decay, though, especially among the more ignorant mid-brow and lower on the left, the old habits of thought are maintained though there is no real-life reality - such as was always largely imaginary and symbolic - to support that naive faith. The media, especially the entertainment division has kept those idiots gulled my entire lifetime.
But I'm an American who opposes the American part in this, watching the United States brought into another Israeli fascist and neo-con inspired catastrophe in the that part of Asia which has the potential to make what was already bad in all those places mentioned above, far, far worse. That it is largely to keep two utterly corrupt and old men in power, Netanyahu in Israel and Trump in the United States is not a complete surprise. If Israeli politics has been bad American politics has been worse. We had had some progress towards the legitimate governance of egalitarian democracy here in the 1930s and 1960s which, ironically, as those catastrophic foreign entanglements during his term in office made things, the Biden administration. The same corrupt American and Western interests (the like of the Murdochs are about as American as Musk and Theill) that used Israel as a tool for its ends, has successfully rigged the media and legal establishment to make sure nothing like egalitarian democracy ever happens here. The Israel project is a major but only small part of that. But it is one that in the past quarter of a century has involved the United States in the overthrow of the Iraqi government and many smaller projects that have corrupted us even farther and which has cost us as People and as a country and I do blame not only the governments of Israel but the Israeli voters who have kept those fascists and imperialists in power. I blame them as much as the American voters who have kept us under increasingly fascist regimes as they've been planning since the early 1970s with remarkable success.
One of the few things to keep me from total despair is the increasing activity of Jewish Antizionists, whether religious or those many who are my fellow egalitarian democrats. I saw last weekend's First Jewish Anti-Zionist Convention held in the same city where the first Zionist Convention was held to be a small glimmer of light. The blackmail of those who have used false accusations of "antisemitism" as part of its American and Western plan to further the worst of Zionist fascism may be showing signs of crumbling. The point made by not a few of the Antizionists, that the Zionists in Israel, the West in general and most of all the United States have allied themselves with some of the most overt haters of Jews is certainly something that is true. It's being noted that one of the biggest fans of the U.S getting involved with Netanyahu's second call for us to fight a major war on HIS behalf is coming from the antisemitic, Mammonist pseudo-Christian, ordained Southern Baptist Mike Huckabee. No doubt he'd hightail it out of Israel to save his ass before the shit really hit the fan, watching from the sidelines as he anticipated that his his Kristian Komic Koncept of the Book of Revelation was about to unfold. I would not be surprised if sometime in the near future that red-heffer con job didn't announce they had their cow and they sacrificed the poor creature on the Temple Mount blowing things to shit - though, of course, that being a Western pseudo-Kristian financed millionaire-billionaire con job, they might want to milk it if Bibi's latest war went badly.
Among the things I resent about this whole thing is the part it played in corrupting American minds and politics. Among those things I resent is how it has fanned antisemitism here. As I've noted it was reading the Argentinian-Israeli journalist Jacobo Timmerman pointing out that since World War II the largest part of antisemitism was inspired by the crimes committed by Israel, if the Zionist project had been abandoned instead of implemented, I think it's entirely likely that there would be far, far less antisemitism and antisemitic violence today. The Israel project is hardly a large part of the American fascists' or those fascists in Europe and elsewhere, the techbro fascists and their like are the major part of that but it has played a part in the corrupting of our politics. I think the Israeli genocide in Gaza played a major part in the reinstallation of Trump II and I think the Israeli fascist government made it abundantly clear that they wanted Trump because they knew they could manipulate him into giving them everything they want, we're about to see him give them another Iraqi style regime-change war which may well make the Iraqi one that Bush II gave him look like just the prelude to it. I think Americans have got to have an honest and anti-racist discussion about Israel and the catastrophe it has been. I listened to a major Democratic politician yesterday sounding the same "Israel right or wrong" slogans that dragged Joe Biden into the worst thing he ever did, supporting the Israeli fascist genocide in Gaza. We can't let that corrupt and rigged definition of "antisemitism" stop us from having that discussion on anti-racist, honest terms BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVE WILL EVENTUALLY BE AN ANTISEMITIC BACKLASH WHEN THE ISRAEL INSPIRED AMERICAN WARS BRING A REACTION WHICH WILL REACH THAT TIPPING POINT. The fever dreams of the most insane of the Zionists want more anti-Jewish violence in other places because they think it will force Jews to go to Israel. I know that because a lot of them, including Netanyahu have said as much. On that 'll take my cues from the informed Jewish Antizionists, they've been making the most sense to me. And I will equally take my cues from the informed Palestinian opposition to zionism, listening to Palestinians is not an optional thing, not if you want to avoid a distorted, racist, intellectually imperialist concept of things.
What's most important in this isn't how I feel about it, it's what gets People killed, maimed, displaced, oppressed and the certain enraged reaction it will cause. That's most true for People in those places and countries most directly involved. But it plays not a small part in the corruption of governments and powerful institutions and entities around the world. Barring the American military successfully stopping Trump, we're about to embark on a complete catastrophe which could involve nuclear weapons being used for the first time since Truman dropped the second one at the end of WWII. No one can possibly predict or control what's going to happen then. I certainly wouldn't favor a military coup here - I certainly don't trust any non-democratic governance - but I fear what Trump is about to do even more.
