War criminals and religious Zionism!
text_fields
War criminals are getting on the nerves of humanity! After more than a year of brutal extermination in Gaza, now it has transferred its massacres to Lebanon. They make horrific scenes on the back of the impotence of international entities and the dominance of the West. Our nerves have become numb due to the round the clock accumulation of horrific scenes of killing children, women and civilians. Despite the requests of the human rights bodies and the warnings by the United Nations, Zionist entity still continues its inhumane torture and humiliation. The killing machines with lethal weapons, including even internationally banned ones, are being used like water hoses. Nearly 7% of the population of Gaza have been martyred and many times this number injured with disfigurement, disability and amputation.
Some have rightly called the year, since the Gaza war, the year of genocide. Moment by moment people have been exterminated by the brutal destruction of schools, hospitals, and refugee- shelters. Despite all these, no one in the world is able to deter the Israeli entity to stop this genocide! This absence of fear of any reaction from the world bodies or deterrence now encourages the Zionist entity to continue its extermination! America and various Western countries support it and participate with Israel in various ways in the war. Hence, it evades accountability! Zionist gangs committed dozens of brutal massacres in Palestine after its establishment, without stopping for more than seventy years that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of martyrs! History has recorded these massacres in all their details. Netanyahu is betting that just as all these massacres have become just a memory for the Arabs, this will also be the case with the current extermination in Gaza!
On everry platform where Netanyahu stands, we find him with Mr.Smotrich, known for his fascist demagoguery and a map of 'Greater Israel'. Netanyahu and Smotrich both are governed by superstitions and myths. Bezalel Smotrich in a TV show, recently brazenly expounded the plan to expand the occupying entity 'as far as Damascus' which sparked massive backlash. This vision of 'Greater Israel', according to him, would unfold little by little and slowly. When asked about extending the regime's 'borders' he said that it could be 'from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River'. Further, he added, 'Our great sages used to say that the future of Jerusalem was to extend as far as Damascus'. This idea was floated by the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, in the 19th century and now numerous Israeli politicians support this myth. It includes the current Zionist entity with the occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories, specifically the occupied West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights, and in the broadest sense the area from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Netanyahu has been repeating the idea of 'Greater Israel' for a long time before and after the October 7 operation, and this seems to be his real justification for his war of extermination in Gaza. And today he is in Lebanon to occupy parts of it. His plan could be to move on to stealing other Arab homelands. By igniting war in the region, he wants to achieve an 'honorable moral mission'. In order to make the West - especially America - lead the caravan, Netanyahu often quotes religious references of Jewish and Christian theology. After the armed wing of Hamas, the al-Qassam Brigades, carried out an attack on Israel on the morning of Oct 7, 2023, citing Israel’s continuous violations against Palestinians and their sacred values, especially Al-Aqsa Mosque, Netanyahu became the target of criticism. But, Netanyahu argued that “This will be a victory of good over evil, of light over darkness, of life over death…This is the mission of our lives. It is also my mission.” Doctoral student Ozgur Dikmen, who works on European Jewish history and Israeli politics at Stanford University stated that Netanyahu, who is not actually a religious politician, feels the need to address different groups because he is currently in a very tight spot in domestic politics
Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2018, and after this, Ozgur Dikmen said that Israel began to think they had fully secured the support of the US and could do what they wanted against Palestinians. Asli Nur Duzgun, who studies about US evangelicals at Istanbul Medeniyet University, takes a close look at Netanyahu's speeches, and ancient myths, believes that Netanyahu is engaged in committing genocide because he has lost domestic support and has the paranoid fears that he would be killed by others. His Likud party has been in power since 1977, even though there were interruptions.
But, now there are criminal cases against him and his popularity has dropped to below 10%. Duzgun explains why Netanyahu is adamant on continuing the genocide. It is observed that he is waiting for the return of Mr. Donald Trump to the throne. In America, there is a group called evangelicals, which accounts for 25% of the population. Though it is not a monolithic group, it always unites under the title ‘Israel.’ They believe that the strength of the United States is based on helping Jews, in the land God gave them! Netanyahu and his extremist government hope that Donald Trump, if he wins the election in 2024, may support “religious Zionism “ with myths and legends!
