Political – سياسي

✴️ Catastrophe (Nakba) for Palestine – Zionists’ dream:

The situation in Palestine could escalate further to force people to leave their land. Another Nakba is at play, which in my opinion is Zionists’ intention from day one.

From Zionists’ perspective, there maybe no better time to crush Palestinians than now. Here is why:

1. You have the most right wing government and largest base of extremism

2. You have a reason to use in front of public opinion (October 7 attacks) and if someone speaks up let’s use antisemitism to shut them up

3. You have unprecedented support from the weapons provider (the US)

4. You have a leverage over western countries (US included) through political lobbies and financial elites.

5. You have the most oppressive dictators in neighboring countries and their populations cannot even protest

6. Internationally, you have a Veto by your side

7. Most importantly, the future is not on your side: your evangelical support base in the US is declining, all surveys of people 36 years old and under are opposed to your actions, significant numbers of Jews in the US are protesting against you and Jewish youth are exposing your inhumanity. The more you wait the worse.

So, I have no doubt that Zionists will seize the opportunity now and exert their utmost effort.

On the other hand, no one else would accept the forced removal of Palestinians from their land, so we are about to watch a regional war that would also drag the US and UK at least. I have no doubt that countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia will become more involved, similar to what we have seen from Yemen and Lebanon.

✴️ Beneficiaries from the Conflict:

Various industries, entities, and ideologies directly and indirectly profit from the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In terms of ideology, Zionism takes a prominent position, particularly among the far-right extremists in Israel who seek to expand their control over the entire region.

The military-industrial complex also benefits significantly from the conflict. Security and defense companies, media organizations, as well as construction and reconstruction companies, find increased opportunities and financial gains in times of war and heightened tensions. This shall be further investigated in other posts.

Furthermore, politicians who prioritize their own re-election often become beholden to the individuals and organizations funding their campaigns. This reliance can create a dynamic where these politicians become subservient to the interests of those financing them. The influence and brag of AIPAC is a clear shameful example here.

✴️ Prioritization of effort:

Here are my thoughts depending where you are:

🗣️ A. Israel: the situation in Israel appears very challenging as the far-right holds significant control. There are minorities of individuals, organizations and journalists advocating for human rights, but they are against a tsunami of a controlling extremists party. How can you simply counter a society that is under bombardment of media propaganda and brainwashing or the deep-rooted indoctrination and hate that permeate the actions of IDF soldiers towards children, women, and the elderly?!

However, we should all applaud this effort and it means a lot to a peaceful future for people from inside of the apartheid state to enlighten their fellow citizens. I hope many Israelis follow this path and enlighten others.

To appreciate how difficult of a task Israeli intellectuals like Ilan Pappe, Gideon Levy, and others have, check their own writings. Levy himself puts his hope for a change in the United States (see older posts).

🗣️ B. Palestinians and citizens of the world: It would be unfair to expect the oppressed Palestinians to bring about significant changes on their own, as they are in a position of weakness and vulnerability. All what I see from Palestinians is resilience and resistance to the occupation. This is what any rational person would expect.

But the Palestinians suffering should be perceived by people all over the world as an inspiration. I used to be surprised when I see the huge diversity of people participating in protests and other causes promoting justice for Palestine. However, I realized that this is the story of injustice for all of us. A lot of people have parallel stories of injustice and the cause of Palestine relate to them. Many of them believe that if they failed Palestine cause, they will be the next victim in the line. Many of them believe that injustice for one nation leads to another. Many of them have direct relation with this cause. For example, Muslims won’t accept the occupation of their first Qibla and the third of Holy sites. Many Jews do not want people to associate Zionism with Judaism and are frustrated with the fact that antisemitism and the holocaust is misused by Israel. People of color can associate memories of the apartheid impact on their lives. And the examples go on and on.

So, depending on where you are, joining the efforts local to you is the best investment.

🗣️ C. USA: In the short term, the United States represents the primary source of hope. It is the most powerful and resourceful countries, yet its administration is enslaved shamefully to Zionists. Therefore, it is worthwhile for US citizens to invest much of their energy in delving deeply to understand why the US administration is willing to risk isolation and engage in immoral actions in support of Israel. What are the underlying origins of this situation, and how has it evolved over time? How can pressure be exerted to realign the US in a more just direction? Understanding the power dynamics at play here is crucial.

But while we do our research, it is important to advocate and lobby to pressure for a ceasefire and the right of Palestinians of self determination. This is the only hope to start any peace negotiations.

I’m thrilled to see everyday an investor, a professional person, an entrepreneur, a people’s leader and many other intellectuals who believe they may have stuff to lose over speaking up and yet they decided to come out of this comfort zone and take the risk and be not complicit to this enslavement.

This particular aspect (C) should be the focus of deeper exploration for the sake of a free strong USA. We should probe around US foreign policy and its influences. “A free Palestine .. a free world”, is not an exaggerated expression.

With that, see below some key resources. Follow these people and you will get a clean and clear picture.

LinkedIn is a space used by intellectuals to talk about smart things. Some intellectuals may have already experienced fatigue from LinkedIn being transformed into a platform where people talk about war, crimes and breaking humanity ethics code. I urge you to give those people – including myself – the benefit of doubt. Perhaps they are trying to wake you up and highlight that those events are very serious and devastating for them to the extent that they are risking their careers talking about it. We trust intellectuals to not trust any propaganda and seek legit references. Part of this war is about information and misinformation.

Before publishing 34 and 35, I would like to pause here and humbly request everyone to read and reflect. You can then choose to be passive or participate by any means possible.

Imagine a child drowning in a shallow pond and challenge your moral obligations. Would feel compelled to save him? How would you perceive whoever passes by seeing the child drowning without taking any action? If you are indeed able to save the child by taking an action, does it matter to you what distance or proximity you have with the child?

You see where I’m going here. It seems like we have a high chance agreeing together that we should feel obligated to assist those suffering from any kind of disaster, regardless of distance or proximity.

In his 1972 paper titled “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”, Prof. Peter Singer – Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University – confronts the issue of passive individuals who fail to take action in the face of global poverty and famine. This can be generalized to any catastrophe that one can take an action towards. Singer argues that such passivity is morally unacceptable, emphasizing the ugly consequences it has on the suffering of those in need.

Singer highlights the stark contrast between the lavish lifestyles enjoyed by individuals in developed nations and the extreme deprivation experienced by those in poor regions. He firmly believes that those who possess the means to alleviate suffering, whether through financial contributions or other forms of aid, have a moral duty to do so. Singer asserts that those actions should be viewed as a mandatory obligation. In times of war, I would also include speaking up, protesting, writing/calling your representatives, promoting facts …etc.

Singer challenges the concept of national boundaries, arguing that governments should prioritize the allocation of resources to assist those in need, even if they are beyond their own borders. He insists that governments have a moral responsibility to address global poverty and famine. Again, you can generalize this to any disaster and also generalize the type of action to all tools available.

Singer’s article serves as a wake-up call, urging individuals, organizations and governments to reject passivity and take immediate action to combat global disasters. Remaining indifferent is morally unacceptable. Active engagement and assistance are essential to bring about meaningful change.

This video (Ordinary People are Evil) also summarizes the paper in a more interesting way.

✴️ Prioritization of Effort:

In Part 3, we discussed:

🗣️ A. Israel: acknowledging the efforts of human rights advocates and their challenges.

🗣️ B. Palestinians and the world: emphasizing the importance of joining local efforts and pressuring politicians.

🔬Now, let’s shift our focus to the United States.

🗣️ C. USA: In the short term, the United States represents the primary source of hope. It is the most powerful and resourceful country, supplying weapons to the apartheid state. If the supply of weapons were halted, the extremists in Israel would cease to exist or at least shift towards more moderate regimes.

The US is expected to uphold human values and pursue the right course of action to maintain global leadership and the well-being of future generations. However, in light of recent events, it has become evident that the US administration is shamefully enslaved to Zionists.

❓Who will rescue the US from the grips of Zionists and their beneficiaries?

As US citizens, we are the ones funding and supporting this war and crimes against humanity. It is our obligation to deeply understand:

– Why is the US administration willing to risk isolation and engage in immoral actions in support of Israel?

– What are the underlying origins of this unprecedented level of support, and how has it evolved over time?

– How can we exert pressure to redirect the US towards a more moral and just path?

– Who are the key players in this crisis, and what are the motives of the different countries involved?

Are Zionists really friends of the US? How do we define that to make a fair assessment?

🎬If you are a US citizen/resident, let’s collaborate:

1) We should oppose US isolation and the support of genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated and controlled by Zionists.

2) Gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation layer by layer. The influence of Zionists extends beyond the US administration, encompassing businesses, corporations, security, and financial institutions.

3) Employ intelligent and evidence-based strategies to diminish the corruption and influence of Zionists. It may be a long journey, but small steps will lead us there.

We should delve into US foreign policy and its influences. The more we uncover actionable points, the more we will comprehend the extent of our enslavement by Zionists. I intend to conduct in-depth research and provide insights supported by reliable references.

📈Momentum is Building

I am thrilled to witness individuals from various backgrounds, including investors, professionals, entrepreneurs, and influential figures, stepping out of their comfort zones, taking risks, and refusing to be complicit in this enslavement. They may have personal stakes at risk for speaking up, yet they prioritize advocacy for human values above potential losses.

Future posts will focus on understanding the layers of engagement and proposing actions to combat corruption and the Zionists’ agenda in the US.

⛔️ Action and knowledge should go hand in hand. While we conduct our research, it is important to advocate for a ceasefire and the right to self-determination for Palestinians. This is the only hope for peace.

This is an introduction to a new series spun off from Free_Palestine post #37 (see the motivation there).

It is very hard to realize that Americans have been enslaved by Zionists without providing a framework that represents our values and priorities and how our attitudes shape those values and priorities. So bear with me through the first couple of posts because the context is crucial to know if we are on the same page and if we even care about being enslaved as long as we enjoy our individualistic bubble-version of life.

✴️ The framework

The flow of the series should start by defining who we are, our ambitions, and our perception of how to impact ourselves, our families, and our world (if this even crosses our minds). From those definitions, we should gain an understanding of how people controlling mega decisions may disrupt and disturb those definitions and how we react to that, and how our reactions affect our definitions of who we are… it is a loop, and so on.

Then let’s connect the mega decisions with the ruling class desires of liberal hegemony. Let’s pause here and understand what that means and how it started and where it is headed. We may need to define some ethical boundaries there and try to understand the implications of those boundaries on our individualistic and societal versions of our life. Do ethical boundaries benefit us? Should we be more pragmatic? But what does pragmatism mean here and how does it impact our individualistic and societal versions of our life?

From there, we can delve into the corrupted side of decision making and its impact and implications if we choose to react or not. The implications on our individualistic life and zooming out from there to the implications at the national level.

✴️ The corruption blend leading to US enslavement to Zionism

Let’s define corruption as our target that we need to diminish. There are many kinds of corruption and we need to tackle them as much as we can. We choose to focus on Zionism not only because of current events but also because these case studies demonstrate a blend of corruption with a wealth of references – if only Americans knew – and deep and diverse interactions that can be reflected upon. Zionism exploits existing corruption in the system and amplifies it further. So it is important to identify the corruption inside the system to be able to conduct research fairly.

✴️ What is shared between American values and Zionism?

As states, Israel and the US have no alignment in their set of values: Democracy vs supremacy (ethnostate), equality vs apartheid, secular vs religious, etc. It is perfectly fine to have the two align on specific goals, just like the US aligns with Saudi Arabia or China or other countries, but this can never reach the level of hypocrisy and enslavement of the US administration that makes immorality the default expectation of how we act when Israel is in the picture.

Freeing ourselves starts with defining what we stand for and how we define our impact. Until next time, here are some resources to whet our appetite:
