Approaches between vision and narration in describing the state of occupation
Written by: Marwan Emil Tobasi
Regardless of who contributed to the implementation of the Zionist project, Christians and Muslims “in word,” as they actually served the Zionist movement in political, financial, and other forms, and were even part of its ideology components when they contributed to the persecution of the Jews and put obstacles in front of their right to citizenship according to what the Zionist movement desired in terms of non-resolution The Jewish issue to force them to settler immigration to Palestine and displace our indigenous people who own the land from it. Although Arab Jews formed an essential part of the Arab peoples and the Jewish religion is a product of this region like other religions, European Jews were also part of its societies and were subjected to the same situation as a result of the conspiracy and agreements with the Zionist movement.
Now, it is natural that a “state” was established on the basis of ethnic cleansing and the ideology of settler colonialism after “75 years” without accountability from the existing international system and even encouragement to commit its crimes, that the political system in it is now characterized by the essence of the racist religious Zionist thought in fascist forms and the escalation of its internal crises and chaos and by insisting on adapting its legislation and judicial system on this basis.
According to a number of directions, the most prominent of which is, "The Jewish people have an exclusive and inalienable right throughout the Land of Israel, so that the government encourages the expansion of the Jewish presence throughout the Land of Israel - in the Galilee, the Negev, the Golan Heights, Judea and Samaria - the West Bank," according to Netanyahu.
These trends have become the foundations and contribute to the implementation of the visions of the final solution to the Palestinian issue on the method of Smotrich and Ben Gvir and their ilk, which are taken from the book "Joshua" in the Torah, where the latter provides an overview of the military campaigns to possess the land that "the Lord promised" according to their beliefs after Exodus from Egypt and the forty years of wandering in the wilderness. He says that the newly formed nation is ready to enter the Promised Land, conquer its inhabitants and conquer the land.
Where, according to their narrative that outlines their vision, the invading Israelis carry out a process of genocide against the indigenous Canaanites, so that not a single soul is left to breathe, according to the description of their rabbis and thinkers of religious Zionism.
According to them, Joshua, who inherited the leadership after Moses, sent a message to the Canaanites advising them to flee, then those who remained could accept lower citizenship status and enslavement, and finally, if they resisted, they would be exterminated.
Smotrich and others have publicly presented this narrative as a plan and vision as the needed turnaround for the decisive phase of the conflict. If the Palestinians do not flee and refuse to accept inferior citizenship, as any person of dignity does, "the Israeli army will know what to do," says this racist. .
In the opinion of many observers, the term fascism is not the correct term to describe the current essence of Israel as a racist state and an “apartheid” regime based on Jewish supremacy and its foundations. Many other terms may fulfill the purpose more than the term fascism, although it expresses a form that exists now. In it more than ever before even the right of its citizens who are the Jews themselves.
What is happening today is that the system of this colonial state no longer conceals that it is the state of the Jewish people only, in addition to that it no longer shows any interest in being or appearing as a democratic state or openly undermining even the Zionist liberal thought in it.
The possible question here is whether Israel is now turning into a fascist state? I prefer the question to be: Is it possible that Israel is not a fascist state?
The matter is not limited to the state or the form of the political system in it. Israeli society has become fascist, slipping into the mud of absolute racism in which it has become living.
Israel is a fascist state since it was established on the basis of ethnic cleansing and practices settlement occupation, and it is an ethnocratic state where the Jews monopolize all rights according to the same racist national law.
Describing Israel as a fascist state or even a rogue state above international law is the result of a fragmentary reading that may apply to a state that was built on natural foundations. Fascism and the concept of a rogue state are two possible presentations and interpretations of the essence of Zionism as a settler-colonial racist movement, even according to the United Nations resolution that was colluded to repeal it in 1991.
As for the insistence on the description of fascism alone, it indicates a misleading process that paves the way for dealing with it as a normal country that has local problems related to anti-democracy, liberalism, human rights and minority rights, which are common features with global regimes that descended towards fascism. Rather, insisting on the description of fascism only may be a pass for the integration of the Zionist colonial state in the Arab region, which is governed by a number of regimes that are not originally democratic, and which may be described as fascism in the stages of its formation, which marginalizes the approach to the nature of Zionism as a colonial movement based on erasure and extermination of the population It makes the normalization agreements sponsored by the United States, whose policies center on approaches to the essence of Zionist Jewish thought, and is encouraged by the European Union, in which fascism has become normal in some of its countries today.
The approaches of Zionism with the American political approach and the West in general are linked to multiple determinants, including the sources of Zionist thought itself and the invented interpretations of the Christian religion, which I have referred to in previous articles. By adapting them according to the vision of the West, they aim to replace Palestinian national historical and political rights with financial incentives and economic solutions in regions Of the cantons, most of them will fall into the category of promises and illusions under the continued adoption of the principle of the two-state solution, which was basically undermined, with the aim of sustaining the occupation without a high cost.
Hence, the vision of the current Netanyahu government, which will work without a solid confrontation with the United States, especially with the Republican right’s control of Congress, will focus on escalating daily crimes and increasing oppression, annexation and settlement, enduring verbal statements in an attempt to dissolve the historical Palestinian national rights or those approved by international legitimacy. Under the slogan of improving the conditions of life, until the end of the next four years of Netanyahu's rule, which will be accompanied by various internal crises in the face of the weakness of the Arab situation and the slowness of the ongoing transformations in the global system that may take a long time, which aims to try to achieve the last step of his program, which is the program of the Zionist movement Globalism from managing the current conflict to closing the Palestinian file and announcing the end of the Palestinian issue as a basic station in the American-Israeli Zionist plan, in return pushing towards more normalization agreements without there being any serious obstacles in front of the Zionist plans and dreams.
The next and most dangerous point is America’s recognition of the Jewish National Law after its recognition of Jerusalem as their capital, which was previously approved by the Knesset at the time of the previous Netanyahu government, which says that Israel is a Jewish nation-state, and the Jewish people is the owner of the land, even though Judaism is dressed up as a nationality, and the Jews do not constitute the concept of a people.
As for the question before us, it is whether and how we will succeed in exploiting the global aversion to the occupying state as a result of the ongoing escalation of crimes and transformations that bear forms of apartheid, settlement and fascism together, in order to besiege and isolate the occupying state and curb its continuous and escalating aggression, leading to our right to self-determination and national independence, and for this Talk in an upcoming article.
