what a masterpiece of analysis!!!

Mike Hampton's avatar

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but I thank you for saying that.

A concise overview of why Zionist Israel is doomed. What is also not taken into account, although Chris Hedges touched on it in an article, is the inevitable violent toxicity of Israeli culture and society because they have been brainwashed in bigotry, fear and hatred for so long.

After three generations brainwashed to fear and hate non-Jews in general and Palestinians, in particular, and to subject them to levels of sadistic cruelty and bestial savagery which can only psychologically and emotionally damage those doing it, in ways which will impact their family, friends and society, the Israelis are psychologically damaged beyond repair. There are a few exceptions but there are always a few exceptions and they are not enough to save the State.

Israelis have become monsters and when monsters are not attacking those defined as enemy, they will be attacking each other. Levels of rape, murder, torture among Israelis are already high and can only increase. We can see it in the fact that the Israeli soldiers are making videos of their atrocities, thereby demonstrating they are devoid of conscience, intelligence, humanity and reason.

If Israel were an individual it would have been locked up long ago to protect itself and others.

The 400-word limit made me cut a bunch of things out, and thus giving the economy focus was the only way out for me. Thankfully, the other writers in this series have touched on other affects, such as self-destructive trauma. Israel is toxic, to others and itself, and thus my admiration for brave Jewish human rights activists is multiplied.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Absolutely agree. I had a friend, who disappeared some years ago, who spoke the truth as an Israeli and she said she lived in fear for her life. I am sure she did. I hope she left as in moved somewhere else rather than leaving in a coffin.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Having lived in fear, I’ve great sympathy for activists. And the climate in Israel is worse than in mine, and thus more dangerous. May your friend be found.

Roslyn Ross's avatar

Yes you would understand better than most.

Thank you for your analysis and thank you for the explanation. I wrote a letter of complaint to the newspaper I worked for once when it cut out an important paragraph. I admire your dedication to the truth and your courage for revealing it. Facebook continually ghosts and removes and denies us this right.

Mike Hampton's avatar

I haven't been on Facebook for three years, and only started a profile on Twitter to get hold of people earlier this year. I can't complain about social media monsters, and then support them. Makes it harder to get readers, but I feel better about myself.

Saige's avatar

First paragraph tick, second par tick, third part tick, fourth par tick. Exactly.

Mike Hampton's avatar

It's their curriculum vitae.

Excellent analysis of Israeli society.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Thank you, though I must add that it is only a view from someone on the outside.

Darkstar's avatar

Public,arest your politicians !!!

Well you did a good job summarizing these situation in this series, Mike.

Good job.

Mike Hampton's avatar

I forgot to thank you for your recommendation last week - THANKS.

So many more of us are better informed about Zionism and the deals they made, the Jews they betrayed.

Mike Hampton's avatar

The first step towards fighting Power is dismantling its propaganda.

JennyStokes's avatar

I think worldwide strikes especially munitions manufacturers in the USA/UK

Mike Hampton's avatar

That's a deal. I'll sort the propaganda, you sort the weapons. We'll meet next week and tell each other about our victories :)

JennyStokes's avatar

I would be happy to start a strike outside US Arms manufacturers but I am not in the USA

Found this good interview on YouTube saying Israel cannot win:

Darkstar's avatar

He's still on the air !!

With so many channels like Gray Zone being taken down,this is a small but important win.

The regime in Israel knows that they need only hold out their hand and Uncle Sam and his loyal catamites will fill it.

Feral Finster's avatar

As long as the proverbial check clears, they do not care.

What a superb explanation of Zionism. What a great comment by Roslyn. What great response from the others.

I have the utmost admiration for the Anti-Zionist Jews.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Immediate legends.

Mark Taylor's avatar

It's important for citizens in the empire to realize many Jews opposed the Zionist cast of the Israeli state from the beginning, as the opening quote from Albert Einstein illustrates. Today we have courageous Jewish intellectuals and authors like Norman Finkelstein, Tony Greenstein and Gabor Mate and journalists like Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal and Katy Halper. They have all showed moral clarity and bravery taking on the Zionist machine.

Israel appears to be collapsing under the weight of its hate and arrogance and the sludge of Zionist fascism. Much can also be said for its vassal state and funder .... the United States.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Absolutely, You're listing people I like.

Delusional; your entire species will be wiped off the face of the earth.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Some of us humans are ok.

Darkstar's avatar

If all of the humans were gone,who would buy my killer robots?

JennyStokes's avatar

Time for worldwide strikes...........especially outside munitions factories.

djean111's avatar

Ukrainians also make videos of their atrocities. In the last few years I seem to have a new classification of people to avoid/cur out of my life - lovers of war porn.

Mike Hampton's avatar

There are sick people in every society. War allows them to be themselves.

JennyStokes's avatar

Actually it is the 'downfall' of the USA.

Jo Waller's avatar

Israel will go down though the murder of Nasrallah shows her extent and power. Her fingers are everywhere especially in the US and UK, she may well drag us down with her. She's going out with a terrible clatter.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Exceptional reach and, as much as I hate to admit it, Hezbollah is deeply wounded.

Jo Waller's avatar

Yes, it is, very badly damaged. Though just like Hamas triggered a genocide and brought the brutality of Israel to the attention of many generations: this truly shocking assassination reveals their extensive reach and is therefore one step closer to the political death of Israel. I don't think a war will be won by might or 'intelligence'- though Ansa Allah will do some serious damage-but I think it marks the end of the UN (unless they drop US veto how can it continue?) and the end of the world order as we know it.

Mike Hampton's avatar

Never underestimate the will of men with power to hold onto it.

Jo Waller's avatar

The more they tightened their grip: the more will slip through their fingers.

Amen

Little Nell's avatar

Can’t happen fast enough! Can’t happen to a more deserving crime syndicate.

Mike Hampton's avatar

The USA more deserving, but I understand your sentiment.

Little Nell's avatar

No argument here. Agreed. The two are a conjoined monstrosity of murder, mayhem and madness. It’s not to be thought that the death of one won’t cause the death of the other, no more than one half of a Siamese twin can survive the death of its sibling. If memory serves, of the original Siamese Twins (Chang and Eng, of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not fame, one died first ( don’t ask which) and the other about 3 hours later. The symbiosis between the two criminal enterprises is complete on so many levels, it’s difficult to see them existing separate and apart from each other. What I foresee is millions of “them” flocking to the United States where, like any invasive species or opportunistic infection, they will rapidly complete their takeover of the government and military, which they will then use to diminished effect against anyone they have a grudge against - essentially the entire world.

Mike Hampton's avatar

I will never label Jews as “an invasive species” but Zionism is, and it will do its best to survive. However, I should have written a yin to my yang article, for we must not underestimate the West’s collective effort to keep the colonial project alive.
