Neither Semitic nor Democracy

Written by: Dr. Hany Akkad
The Semitic peoples are Arab peoples whose original homeland is the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula. They are divided into the Arabs of the North and the Arabs of the South, in addition to the Assyrians, Babylonians, and Arameans who lived in Mesopotamia, the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, the Amorites, the Moabites, the Domites, the Ammonites, and the Hebrews, and these lived in states in the Levant. To the peoples that belong geographically to the Levant, Mesopotamia, and the land of the Arabian Peninsula, and these researchers confirm that the Semitic peoples are those peoples that migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to Palestine and Jordan due to the harsh conditions of the desert and the request for security and stability. The Jews or the Israelis, by the modern name, were never Semitic people, and the claim of Semitism against themselves came after this date because of the European persecution of the Jews, knowing that European Jews are not Semitic at all, and part of the Arab Jews may be Semitic because they are Arabs who lived within those ancient tribes that migrated to Regions of the Levant and Palestine seeking protection like others. Historians say that the first important human migrations to Palestine began at the beginning of the third millennium BC, which is the migration of the Canaanites, who were known by the name of the places in which they lived. It was called Palestine, the land of Canaan until 1200 BC, when it was invaded by the Cretan tribes.


Historically established and clear is that the Jews have nothing to do with peace, especially the Europeans who migrated to Palestine and established a state, and the evidence is that they did not call it the "Semitic state" but rather "Israel" in the sense of the victorious man in relation to Jacob, peace be upon him, who defeated the divine king. Victorious and victorious, and (Eel) means God, so they persevered in killing the Palestinian Arab people when Britain gave them a promise and prepared for them political conditions and provided them with weapons to enable them to carry out criminal attacks against the Palestinian population in Palestinian cities and villages in 1948, and thus establish an alleged entity for them in Palestine, my son. On the basis of killing, burning, displacing, and seizing Palestinian homes, farms, and fields, given that this is considered victory and victory. The accusation of "anti-Semitism" by any opponent and critic of the Israeli colonial policy in Palestine is false and has no basis in history because the concept of "anti-Semitism" is a newly created concept that was projected onto ancient history and used to explain the relationship of Jews with other peoples in modern and contemporary history, even Now, whoever criticizes the policy of the Zionist occupation in Palestine, describes their policy as criminal, and demands that the leaders of this entity respect the rules of international and international humanitarian law and implement all international legitimacy resolutions related to resolving the conflict, in their view, it is considered "anti-Semitic."

Recently, Netanyahu, head of the fascist right-wing Zionist coalition, and the new government in the occupying country, sharply criticized the American newspaper "The New York Times" because it sharply criticized the new government headed by him. Netanyahu's agreements with the religious bloc, which seemed to control the joints of the Hebrew state and its religious legislation. The editorial stated that the occupying state (Israel) that we knew no longer exists, as the religious and extremist nationalist parties endanger the model of the Jewish democratic state. The newspaper explained that the Netanyahu government poses a great threat to the future of the state Occupation (Israel) The editorial stressed that (Ben Gvir) and his ideology of hatred and his racist actions could trigger a new round of Arab-Israeli violence. Netanyahu accused the newspaper of inciting against the new government, which means undermining it. He said in a comment on social media, "After burying the Holocaust (the Nazi Holocaust) for years on its back pages and demonizing Israel for decades on its front pages, the New York Times is now calling, shamefully, to undermine the elected government." Netanyahu accused the newspaper of delegitimizing democracy, the only real one in the Middle East and America's best ally in the region.

The New York Times is not the largest newspaper in the United States, but all strategic thinkers, many researchers in democracy and human rights, and members of the US House of Representatives and Senate consider what is happening as a collapse of Israeli democracy because the occupying state, with this approach and this policy towards the Palestinians, will not be in any way a state. Democracy, especially in light of racist laws and decisions that violate international law and unleash the hands of fascist extremists to commit more hate and racist crimes that destroy any semblance of democracy, especially since Netanyahu has implemented all parliament projects in his entity to pass laws that unleash the hands of these extremists to eliminate the Palestinians and deprive them of their freedom. Their historical dream of living in an independent entity and legitimate sovereignty like the rest of the peoples of the earth.


Today, due to these laws, the occupying state has become a state (neither Semitic nor democratic), and those who will rule it are the ultra-Orthodox religious who do not accept living with other nationalities on the land, such as the Arab Palestinians, especially since Netanyahu granted members of his ultra-Orthodox government powers regarding settlement in the West Bank related to resolving the scene on The land by imposing Israeli sovereignty over large areas, especially Areas (C), and this is what the Biden administration had sent messages in this regard to Netanyahu, but Netanyahu did not care about these warning messages, and it seemed as if he had completely removed his hand from the settlement issue, which would double the scene in the occupied territories. In sum, the world is definitely facing an extremist religious transformation in the state of the entity to become a Sharia state ruled by extremist religious people who ignore judicial legislation and legislative laws and spread the rules of governance according to the extremist Jewish law, which means blowing up all the rules of democracy at the hands of all those eight religious factions in the Knesset and all of Netanyahu's liberal attempts will not Democracy saves from the state of intentional assimilation pursued by the adherents of this extremist religious ideology.
