RESURECTING NEW FORCES ......



Benjamin Netanyahu's newly formed government of mostly zealots and right wing fascists, where many of them including Netanyahu himself are still under judiciary indictment or awaiting judgement, one of the most urgent plans of theirs is changing the law, to manage and exonerate themselves and prevent the judiciary from prosecuting anyone of them or their future excursioners ..... 

As events continue in Israel, especially extreme violence, killings of innocent children, journalists, women and men, old and young, plus maiming and marking for life the captured ones, arrests and torture... it is evident that this entity is no different from many other fascistic regimes ruled by extreme right, theocracies, or military dictatorships. 

Barely few days into the most extreme government in Israel's history, its controversial national security, Itamar Ben Gvir, is already demonstrating its extreme right-wing religious and nationalist credentials. He is now in charge of Israel's police, setting the rules in both Israel proper and the occupied territories.   

Obviously, to maintain your political seat, or to be reelected to any position , or even to be promoted in any official position, including the army and all security apparel, and the judiciary, brutal use of force, and a continued strategy of intimidation is always de rigueur. 

Robert Penn Warren said: "It takes a long time for the truth to become true". To be human after all, is to be always vulnerable to the experience of trauma . It seems it's an almost unavoidable part of the human condition. While all Palestinians happened to be vulnerable at the same time. Between the loneliness of isolation, prosecution, and utmost brutality and degradation, the actions of a government and its systems, that seem so willing to sacrifice all for its hegemony, colonialism and apartheid. Let's face it honestly, the creation of Israel was both a disaster and an atrocity.  

I wonder if at the end of this reign of terror and continual brutality, the Jews of the world are any better.  If some Israeli citizens would feel uplifted and relieved, or if they would feel that some bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger scope of things, with its chaos. If they do, Then they have been made the victims of a very old and terrible lie. They have been subjected to long and systematic brain- washing and indoctrination. 

And all they need now, is some added new religiosity to legitimize it all. To cover the daily atrocities, what's more convenient than a consenting and collaborating God, with prophets, messengers, books, schools, temples et all. To relegislate and relegitimize our past century's doings and acts. What a great start for a new year !!!!

As always, my deep gratitude to all my good readers, wishing you all a happy new year, stay safe and well.
