Facing an impasse in Israel and the world....

 

Last week, we witnessed a sort of a coup in Israel, with the purpose to oust PM Netanyahu, it is still going on, with some weird tactics and unique faces playing the game, the agreement on a coalition that would oust Prime Minister Netanyahu after some 12 years in power isn't over yet, but let's face the truth, do we want Netanyahu and his branch of fascist zionism out?? yes we do. To the extent of wanting to replace him with a Naftaly Bennet, the other side of the coin of fascist zionism?? Maybe and only a cautious maybe. 

Over the years, Netanyahu increasingly manipulated the post to gain full access of the Israeli imagination while creating a system of fear, suggesting that Israeli survival without him is impossible, using total brutality, chaos, apartheid, wars, regime change in many neighboring countries, even by dominating and manipulating very useful American foreign, military and monetary policies. But he's not alone in this game.

many political leaders, modern and old, are now governing his style, influenced by his tactics and bizarre ideology, following in his steps, the first to come to mind is ex president Trump and many congress members, Lukashenko of Belarus, Orban of Hungary, Bolsonaro of Brazil, PM Modi of India, Assad of Syria, Erdogan of Turkey, the Muslem mullahs of Iran and the royal family of Saudi Arabia, just to name the major ones, of course Kim and Putin are already grand masters of the game, It's a new trend in governing, a la Netanyahu, whereby even smaller insignificant leaders like Oun of Lebanon is learning their tactics and demagogy. 

David Swanson is a gifted private author, writer, journalist and radio host, he uses a mix of seriousness and satirical intonations, I'm hereby producing one of his latest articles, imagining  an exchange between Netanyahu and the American Congress, it portrays many realities of both sides and their thinking and fantasies, with a special twist.       

Congress: B. B. Bee. Bee. Bibi, Bibi, Bibi, are you there? Yes, just hold this rocket launcher, and this one, and this one, and, I’m just going to hang these grenades from each of your fingers, and, no don’t bend over, here, I’ll just put this strap over your shoulders, and can this gun fit in your back pocket, how about a few knives to strap on your legs, here, ooh, yes, here, have a seat in this F-16, THERE you go, and don’t go murdering any children — I say that unequivocally — pppppppwaaahhhahahahahahahahahahahah, no, I mean it, I think more bullets, let me balance these on your head, say, do you have a wheelbarrow I can share a little napalm in, good man, could you use a cup of white phosphorus for the road, oh, oh, I was just thinking, Beeeebeee,

Bibi: You know I’m a figment of your addled brain, right? So I can tell you this in pretty safe confidence? Over here we only spend $20 billion a year on a military, not like the trillion or so you guys do, and $4 billion of that you give us for free every year from your generous tax payers, and then you sell us most of the weapons that we spend that $20 billion on, and you take care of those weapons, and you develop weapons with us, and you stockpile your own weapons here and then slip them to us as needed, and you do war rehearsal “exercises” with us, and you feed us your “intelligence,” and you promote our bullshit worldwide, and 45 times you veto holding us to the rule of law at the UN, and you ship us more weapons right in the middle of us blowing up apartments and schools and hospitals and streets and doctors and mothers and babies, and so what I’d like to hear from you now, stand up straight, what I’d like to hear from you now is your very best humanitarian humbug. Go!

Congress: It’s simply wrong. It’s un-American. It’s just not who we are. That’s why I will be asking President Biden about the possibility of encouraging Hamas and Israel to call a halt to the vicious cycle of tiffs, spats, and acrimony. And I will be supporting legislation to require that if the government of Israel wants to imprison and torture children it not do so using U.S. dollars, but rather use somebody else’s dollars for that, and use the U.S. dollars for general Apartheid maintenance, because frankly I’ve heard enough inexcusable challenging of Israel’s right to exist and defend . . .

Bibi: Oh fuck! Stop! Oh Jesus! I mean Moses! I mean, oh fuck, you’ve got it. The right to exist is the key. That’s it. I don’t feel like I exist unless I’m blowing up buildings. And you don’t feel like you exist unless you’re talking to a padded wall. To each his own in a free society!

Congress: You know, 8 of us have declared that Palestinians have human rights. At this rate, your great grandson might have to find a new sugar-daddy for your great-great grandson. Hey, how many, I mean how many kids and grandkids have you got, because I was thinking, wouldn’t they each like a dozen Apache helicopters or something just to show our appreciation? Know what we did to the Apaches dontcha? The Two State Solution.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Knesset is still debating a proposed new government to replace Mr. Netanyahu's administration but not his regime or extreme right fascist trends and tactics, let's wait and see. 

                 As always, all my thanks to you all, stay safe and well.
