NETANYAHU IS STRATEGICALLY DEFEATED, BUT ISRAEL CAN WIN
We write “Netanyahu” in this headline. Still, we are referring to the ultranationalist, militarist, racist, and messianic-sectarian clan that this prime minister heads in Israel and that, after the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7, 2023, has been applying a platform with positions and actions like the following:
A factual platform of the Zionist clan in power in Israel
1. Apply a policy of a “prolonged” war of extermination and genocide against a defenseless Palestinian civilian population trapped in a small space, in that ghetto that is the Gaza Strip1, plus more than 29 thousand Palestinians murdered to date; the majority of children and women.
2. Impose bombings of indiscriminate and full destruction of infrastructures, that have affected the life and work of the population now imprisoned in Gaza. “Flatten Gaza” is the military orientation. Israel intends to return Palestinians to primitive times to cut off the possibility of their future development.
3. Provoke the civil and political disorganization of the Gaza population, pushing them through massive suffering by blocking borders, separating families, and cutting water, energy, communications, education, health, and food services, all in order to provoke desperation, surrender, and resignation of the Palestinian people. submission.
4. Force displacement of more than two million human beings whom Israel described as “ human animals “ (In turn, Hitler and Nazism described as “Untermensch” (sub-human) the same Jews and other ethnic minorities or nationalities victimized by the messianic outburst of the Nazis.
5. Accelerate advance in the Judaization of the West Bank through harassment, verbal and physical violence, pressure, kidnappings, imprisonment even of Palestinian children, attacks, and armed conquest of lands, neighborhoods, and agricultural areas of the remaining Palestinian population. The territorial conquest of Gaza and the West Bank and the forced displacement of their inhabitants pursue the objective of materially preventing the possibility of establishing a Palestinian State in those areas. The massive terror sown by the Israeli army among the population of Gaza, especially among young people and children, aims to achieve the strategic submission of these next generations in front to the Jewish state of Israel.
6. Provoke actions that bring closer the possibility of a regional confrontation under the assumption of strategic and tactical support from the United States of America, United Kingdom (donator of land for a Jewish state in 1947), etc., and thereby achieve the annihilation or weakening of neighboring Arab or Muslim states, as well as the political organizations that the clan in power considers real or potential enemies of the Jewish state.
7. Carry out ethnic cleansing within Israel, expelling, singling out, and marginalizing (apartheid system ) non-Jewish national elements, especially the Arab population of Israeli nationality, who are denied their right to vote and other citizen rights. (The same thing that the German Third Reich2 applied to the Jews in Europe in the 1930s).
8. Restrict internal civil rights within its population, justifying it by the security policy and the state of war that the exercise of the previous strategies entails. Monitor and neutralize all internal opposition to the clan and its program.The Netanyahu clan currently must deal with the desperate relatives of the more than 134 living hostages still in the hands of Hamas or Islamic Jihad who are pressing for their negotiated return rather than as a result of spectacular commando actions or devastating massive bombings.
9. Maintain the military offensive against Gaza as a priority, even sacrificing the possibility of negotiating with Hamas and Islamic Jihad the eventual release of the hostages. Israel assumes the risk of possible deaths of the hostages in Israel's military actions, as indicated in its Hannibal Protocol which prioritizes the death of the kidnappers over the hostages, even if they are used as human shields.
10. Establish Religious Zionism as the only political-ideological option of the people of Israel, achieving pragmatic syncretism between 1. Nationalism (an own and dominant identity), 2. Militarism (weapons decide), 3. Racism (racial purity as an objective), 4. Messianism (a delusional construct that defines Israel as the people chosen by an ancient tribal deity), 5. The "Lebensraum" or “living space” (Hitler's idea of expanding own's territorial sovereignty through military power or submission, invading with settlers combined with the expulsion, enslavement or death of the original peoples. In the case of Israel, territorial expansionism is justified in religious and historical terms, as a supposed gift from its tribal deity, and 6. Religious State. While political power in Israel is secular, not theocratic, or confessional, the influence of religion is decisive in the nature and functioning of the state and in the legal framework that regulates civic life in Israel.
11. Present Israel as the victim of Arab and Islamic terrorism, when they are the invaders and aggressors. In self-defense, Israel remembers the holocaust of German Nazism and calls “anti-semitic” or “nazi” any criticism of their military actions carried out in Gaza and West Bank, Lebanon or Syria. This has been evident in Israel's harsh attacks on President Lula of Brazil, who rightly compared these actions to Nazis and the ruling clan in Israel. Israel is knowingly violating universal humanitarian laws, culture, and international law, and still claims that Palestinians have no human rights.
12. Ensure control by part of the clan, of the entire state apparatus: The executive must be the supreme power controlling the decisions of parliament (Knesset), the Supreme Court or Supreme Tribunal, and the armed and security forces. This attempt of the clan was partially achieved in 2023 with the approval of part of the constitutional reforms enunciated by Netanyahu.
13. Prevent any possibility of any future co-existence of two states: Israel and Palestine.
14. Achieve immunity and impunity for Netanyahu, the leader of the clan, in the face of the strong and documented accusations of corruption that have been underway for some time.Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 for corruption, fraud and breach of trust in three cases, charges he denies. His trial began in 2020. In 2022 he managed to be named prime minister and install his clan in power.
This is the minimal and pragmatic platform of the clan in power in Israel. To facilitate its execution, Netanyahu has called it by the fictitious name of “the fight for the total annihilation of Hamas, the return of the hostages and ensuring eternal peace for Israel.”
It is easy to see that achieving Netanyahu's immunity and impunity is the central pivot that has driven these actions. It is not the interests of Israel as a state or even those of the people of Israel that drive Netanyahu and his clan in this conflict; it is his interest. Israel finds itself between a dilemma of the real Palestinian terrorist threat and a clan that applies state terrorism, endangering internal democracy and condemning the Israeli people to a virtual eternal war against the Palestinian people.
Clan’s Genesis (where do they come from?)
On November 1, 2022, Israeli voters were deciding the formation of the unicameral parliament of 120 deputies in the Knesset. As has been observed in many other countries, minority political sectors obtain the decision of the voters; in Israel, the electorate voted towards the most orthodox and extremist sectors of their political menu.
The general result: the less radicalized block of parties with a certain liberal-democratic profile (which does not fit to be called “left ”) achieved 56 seats and the most radicalized block, which does adjust to being called “right ”, achieved the resounding figure of 64 seats.
Netanyahu's Likud won 32 deputies; the ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties won 18 seats (11 for the “Shas” party and 7 for the “ United Torah Judaism”), plus the block “Religious Zionism” with 14 deputies (its leader is Bezalel Smotgrich, in charge of the Finance portfolio and, literally, the “Hernán Cortés” in the West Bank; the political force of “Jewish Power” (its leader is the anti-Arab racist Ben GVir, in charge of the Ministry of Security) and “Noam”, the party of leader Avi Maoz, an extreme homophobe.
Among all of them ultra-Orthodox, anti-Arab, homophobic, and right-wing, they achieved a balance of 64 seats, a sufficient majority to exercise power comfortably. It is a clan of furious activists of a supposed “Jewish” cause, rather than “Israelite”, a force in favor of the invasion, conquest, and colonization of Palestinian lands according to the statements of their ancient religious books. “Will you cross your arms when they are reading to you that it says that a god has given you so much foreign land?”, those supremacists seem to proclaim. They don’t see only the Palestinians as the enemy to be exterminated, but all Arabs.
The clan's plan was quickly promoted, focusing on reforming the role of the Supreme Court, with the power to annul some measures taken by the executive or even parliament. Netanyahu reasoned that while Knesset deputies were elected by popular vote, Supreme Court judges were appointed. Still, they had more decision-making and recall power in strategic matters than the Israeli parliament. Netanyahu proposed a reform that subordinated judges and the Supreme Court under the lines of the executive.
But their haste did not count on the popular reaction: the clan had shaken since the beginning of 2023, when the first reforms were approved in the Knesset, and the most massive protests erupted in the entire history of Israel, forcing Netanyahu and his clan to maneuver in this crisis, and buying time.
However, the terrorist coup by Hamas on October 7 resulted in a kind of lifeline for Netanyahu, who was facing demonstrations by large, dissatisfied sectors of the Israeli people, which seemed to lead to an imminent resignation and possibly imprisonment before strong accusations of corruption.
With that perspective, the clan from the first moment of the terrorist coup, proclaimed that there was going to be a “prolonged” war against the Palestinians and their terrorist organizations. The anti-Palestinian war (disguised as a war against Hamas) will last if the extremist clan deems it necessary to prevent its displacement from power and thus be able to make its actions and postulates irreversible.
Other effects within Israel
The factual platform of the clan boosted by its majority in the Knesset, has also provoked important internal political phenomena in Israel:
1. Extremism. Nationalism has been strengthened, but not based on the political-legal and secular concept of “Israel”, but on the “Jewish” concept, a category not only religious but also nationalist, militaristic, and racist.
2. Two peoples. The terrorist coup of 10/7 abruptly put in the faces of the people of Israel the reality of the existence of an oppressed, dispossessed, tortured people, who surrounds them on all four sides and who succumbs to deep hatred for the state of injustice in which Israel has plunged it.
3. Failures in Israel's security. The security and anti-terrorist intelligence system of the most militarized state in the world failed on 10-7: the response was slow compared to its supposed level of control over the Palestinians. Never, since 1948, have the people of Israel felt so vulnerable and defenseless. So, Israel’s security policies, measures and political relations with the Palestinian and Arab world are collapsing with the political costs derived.
4. State-Citizen Contradiction. Netanyahu has opened a gap, a wound, between the Jewish State and the relatives of the kidnapped. It became evident that the clan's anger and thirst for revenge had not considered the rescue of the hostages as a priority. And the issue is simple: If the Netanyahu clan cared about the hostages, they would not be unleashing so much indiscriminate bombing for more than 100 days that could affect the hostages. In fact, Netanyahu has had to accept Israel's government responsibility for the deaths of Israeli hostages and soldiers.
For example:
· Witnesses Israelites reported that on 10-7 2023 that tanks and helicopters of their own army , killed or injured dozens of citizens _ Israelites : “Yasmin Porat, who was in the house where the twins were held hostage, had said that the deaths were caused by Israeli tank fires, Hadas Dagan, the owner of the house where the hostages were held, also broke her silence. In an interview with Channel 12 in Israel, Dagan confirmed that the Israeli army attacked the house where Israeli civilians were held by Hamas with tank fire and heavy weapons”.
· The IDF has been accused by the mother of one of three Israeli soldiers killed in Gaza (December 2023), of having murdered them by means of poison gas launched into a tunnel where they knew her son, Sergeant Ron Sherman, was with other Hamas kidnappers. , all to profit from the death of terrorists.
. Similarly, 24 young Israeli Reserve soldiers have been killed when the mines they were placing to finish demolishing and pulverizing a building (“flatten Gaza”) suddenly exploded.
5. The question of the Palestinian state: Are Israelis and Jews condemned for eternity to fight with Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims? For Israel the final solution in the Israel-Hamas war, as Hitler and German Nazis proposed against the Jewish people in Europe: total extermination. Can the political currents turned around -as in the time of Isaac Rabin (assassinated by an extremist Zionist) and came to consider coexistence between Arabs and Israelites, the feasibility of two states or even a single state for both peoples?
It must be mentioned emphatically that Hamas, an armed political organization supposedly started for the purposes of national liberation, became a terrorist group, thereby leaving aside the effort to build a Palestinian state. In some way, Hamas has dragged Gazan people into a war between Israeli military power and the disorganized civilian population, victims of the panic generated by Israel´s state terrorism.
The building of their own state seems not to have been perceived by the Palestinian people as a fundamental necessity, because it is worth asking what they have been waiting for to proclaim it despite massive international sympathy, necessarily they must have a roadmap in that regard. Like the Israelite (“Jewish”) people in Europe in the 1930s, the Palestinians remain a nation, but without a state. It is necessary to clearly determine whether the Palestinian people are determined and have prepared to reorganize themselves as a nation-state, apart from the Israel´s sectarianism that sabotages this possibility. The Palestinian state does not depend on Israel, nor on the United States or England. It depends on the Palestinian people themselves and, by atavism, on all the people and other Arab states.
As the next prisoner in Israel, Netanyahu, in addition to his charges of corruption, will have to answer for his inability and coldness towards the lives not so much of his Palestinian enemies, but of Israel's citizens, whether Jewish or not.
Throughout this panorama, the words of “Bibi” resonate: “Our national mission is to locate the missing and return the hostages to their homes”. Killing more than 30,000 people, and destroying their livelihoods, shows what the real policy of the clan in power is.
These lying words repeated hundreds of times are the measure of the political failure into which Netanyahu and his clan in power have fallen. They have been defeated by circumstances, but the people of Israel still can free themselves from this clan, even amid the conflict with the Palestinians, to seek precisely the most efficient, non-bloody, and most humane solution for the survival and existence of peace between Israel and Palestine.
Netanyahu and his clan will be defeated, but Israel will win.
Gaza is a strip of 139 square miles (360 square kilometers), with about 2.5 million Palestinians. It is like suddenly multiplying the population of Fresno in the United States by four, with that same area, with the particularity that nothing and no one can enter that territory without the order of the Zionist power. The US blockade against Cuba is nothing compared to Israel's confinement and siege against this population.
The coincidence between the Nazi myth of the Three Kingdoms and the myth about the Three Temples of Israel is curious. The three German kingdoms were: 1) The Holy Roman Empire between 962-1806; 2) The German Empire, between 1871-1918 and 3) The Nazi empire of the 1930s with its Messiah, Hitler, the Führer. For the Jews, the myth of the Three Temples is: 1) The First Temple of Solomon supposedly located on the esplanade of Mount Moriá , where today the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque (destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar II in 587 BC; 2) The Second Temple in Jerusalem built by Zerubbabel (515 BC) consecrated by Judas Maccabeus (165 BC), rebuilt and expanded by Herod, and destroyed by Roman troops under Titus in the year 70; 3) The Third Temple of Jerusalem, according to Hebrew eschatology, will be rebuilt when the expected messiah of Judaism appears there.
