The End of \u2018Israel\u2019 & The Death of Zionism<\/h1>\n

Why Time has run out for the Neo-Crusader, European Settler Colony in West Asia<\/h3>\n

by\u00a0Ahnaf Ibn Qais<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael is a pariah state. This was publically on display on Dec. 12 when 153 member states at the U.N. General Assembly\u00a0voted\u00a0for a ceasefire, with only 10 \u2014 including the U.S. and Israel \u2014 opposed and 23 abstaining. Israel\u2019s scorched earth campaign in Gaza means there will be no peace. There will be no two state solution. Apartheid and genocide will define Israel. This presages a long, long conflict, one the Jewish State cannot ultimately win.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cZIONISM IS NOT WORKING. IT IS LEADING TO A TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF A PEOPLE. AND IT WON\u2019T STOP UNLESS WE STOP IT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE IMPACT ON PALESTINIANS LIVES HAS AND CONTINUES TO BE GRUESOME AND UNJUSTIFIABLE. ON TOP OF THAT, ZIONISM HAS NOT ACTUALLY SAVED THE JEWISH PEOPLE AS IT CLAIMS TO DO. RATHER IT LEADS US INTO A DEMONIC PATH OF PSYCHOSIS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ZIONISM WAS SOLD AS A JEWISH LIBERATION MOVEMENT. IT WAS AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF THE JEWS THAT EUROPEAN ANTISEMITISM CREATED. WHERE WILL THE JEWISH PEOPLE BELONG AND FEEL SAFE? THE COLONIZATION OF PALESTINE WAS THE ANSWER GIVEN BY EUROPEAN POWERS WITHOUT PALESTINIAN CONSENT.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prolegomena<\/h2>\n

What follows is an Analysis of why Zionism is on its last legs.<\/p>\n

Now, as far as DOOM wares go, that is quite a lofty claim to make, considering how these past few decades or so, \u2018Israel\u2019 & its sundry detractors have found, time & again, that the regime has a lot more staying power than many initially thought.<\/p>\n

As far back as 1948, during the First Arab-Israel War, many a prediction was made about the inevitable demise of \u2018Israel.\u2019 Yet here we are some 7+ decades later, & the Apartheid Settler Colony persists, with ample backing from its American poodles.<\/p>\n

Indeed, there have been many occasions in which pundits & analysts of the time had declared, \u2018This is IT, \u2018Israel\u2019 is about to be bested, at last!\u2019 Time & again, however, said predictions have fallen flat & their assumptions have been bested.<\/p>\n

Be it the Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur War & other conflicts, \u2018Israel\u2019 has had \u2018staying power\u2019 on the international stage courtesy of a wide gamut of factors. However, a \u2018poly-crisis\u2019 has inflicted all these factors for the first time in several decades:<\/p>\n

The Genocide & Ethnic Cleansing of over 30,000 Palestinians has kickstarted this process, albeit it can be argued many of these elements of collapse were latent in \u2018Israeli\u2019 society & were merely waiting for the right conditions to flower\u00a0en masse.<\/p>\n

It is my view that such conditions have now arisen, & we are about to witness the rapid unravelling of the Apartheid Settler Colony, once & for all. No longer will the Zionist Occupational entity be able to smoothly sail off into the sunset with its sundry crimes.<\/p>\n

Granted, it has not always been smooth sailing:<\/p>\n

On several occasions, \u2018Israeli\u2019 society found itself on the verge of collapse. During said times, however, it found the United States pitching in to \u2018foot the bill\u2019 (for funds, men & materials), thereby rescuing the Apartheid entity in the process.<\/p>\n

However, such a strategy is ultimately DOOM-ed to fail for a straightforward reason, namely that it relies upon a continuous \u2018pipeline\u2019 of resources from overseas, whereby any interruptions for a period of a few years would spell disaster:<\/p>\n

That period of uninterrupted assistance from abroad, from primarily American sources (private & public), is rapidly ending. What follows will be a predictable sequence of events many have expounded upon in recent years.<\/p>\n

Namely, a slow \u2018boil the frog\u2019 pressure scenario whereby the Occupational entity is slowly but surely denuded of essential resources. Afterward, said regional players will strike, delivering the\u00a0coup de gras,\u00a0ending the Apartheid entity once & for all.<\/p>\n

For many, this sounds fantastical. Here is \u2018Israel,\u2019 that Neo-Crusader entity with a potent lobby in the US (& elsewhere) who have ample power & influence in a myriad of Western nations worldwide. How, then, does such a potent force get destroyed?<\/p>\n

Simply put, it results from a wide gamut of pressures, five of which we examine today.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, Dear Readers!<\/p>\n

& Remember,\u00a0The DOOM cometh!<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h1>\n

\u201cSix months into Israel\u2019s blitzkrieg on Gaza, the occupation state\u2019s military intelligence has reluctantly acknowledged what many had suspected: achieving a decisive victory over Hamas is an unattainable goal. Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s initial rhetoric of total annihilation, the reality on the ground speaks differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

~\u00a0Xavier Villar<\/a>;\u00a0excerpted from the Analytical piece\u00a0<\/em>\u2018Hamas is intact, so has Israel lost?<\/a>,\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>published on March 25 (2024) in \u2018The Cradle<\/a>.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Illan Pap\u00e9, the famed \u2018Israeli\u2019 historian & scholar, has said on many an occasion that what we are seeing presently is\u00a0The beginning of the end of the Zionist project<\/a>. To fortify his thesis, he points to five primary indicators which point toward this future:<\/p>\n

First, \u2018Israeli\u2019 society before Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood\u00a0<\/em>was already on the brink, as Netanyahu & his cronies sought to curb the powers of the judiciary so that the ultra-Orthodox et al. could be bolstered by the erosion of said secular institution.<\/p>\n

Such moves had put the Apartheid regime in danger of descending into bedlam & anarchy, owing to the secularists, leftists, & Labour Zionists strongly opposing such moves, which\u00a0Ipso Facto\u00a0<\/em>would turn the entity into a full-fledged Theocracy.<\/p>\n

Second, the Global Solidarity movement for Palestine & the Palestinian cause,\u00a0writ large,\u00a0<\/em>is now mainstream, spanning across every political persuasion & camp. No longer is it merely the province of a few on the left wing to far left:<\/p>\n

BDSM, which was for much of its history a very fringe pursuit, is now in the popular\u00a0Zeitgeist,\u00a0<\/em>with many arguing that only a total blockade, embargo & sanctions regime is warranted given the gravity of \u2018Israeli\u2019 crimes against Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Third, the Zionist economy is teetering on the verge of complete collapse. The war has diverted large amounts of resources to military activities, making civilian life & living all but impossible, as rationing & related pursuits have been given precedence.<\/p>\n

As a result, \u2018Israel,\u2019 which has historically been a tiny strip of land with very little economic depth to it, is struggling ahead with massive imports from the USA & its EU satrapies & Arab satrapies. However, that schema is now also beginning to buckle.<\/p>\n

Fourth, the barbarous Zionist military is utterly impotent against the Islamic Resistance\u2019s sundry battlefield escalations. Be it Hezbollah & frens up north or Yemen\u2019s Ansarallah down south, the task for the \u2018Israeli\u2019 armed forces is nigh impossible:<\/p>\n

Horizontal escalation across multiple theatres of engagement has paralyzed large chunks of their decision-making apparatus, making their military doctrine (derived from mid to late-20th-century battlefield successes) defunct in this war.<\/p>\n

Fifth & finally, Jewish Americans & Jews overseas, in general, have begun to abandon the Zionist cause\u00a0en masse.\u00a0<\/em>The notion of \u2018Israel\u2019 being a \u2018Democratic oasis\u2019 in the desert, surrounded by autocrats & tyrants & struggling to survive every day:<\/p>\n

That notion has been irrevocably shattered. No longer do such Jews (who tend to be more leftist & progressive in orientation) buy said drivel, given the Zionist regime\u2019s open Crimes of Apartheid, Genocide & Ethnic Cleansing against the Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Individually, these are all potent & destructive forces which damage the very foundations of the Apartheid regime. However, taken together & working in unison,\u00a0their concoction is lethal to the overall Settler Colonist project & its overall viability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In our Analysis, we will examine this destructive concoction. To get there, however, we need to expand upon the five forces mentioned earlier in greater detail.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

\u2018Israel\u2019 before Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood<\/em><\/h1>\n

\u201cOver 12,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli military\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza. We don\u2019t know exactly how many have died: With the collapse of Gaza\u2019s healthcare system, it\u2019s now impossible to count the dead.<\/p>\n

This is devastation on an unimaginable scale. How did we end up here?<\/p>\n

It depends on when you start the clock. Gaza was created by Israel in 1948,\u00a0as a refugee camp to contain Palestinians displaced in the Nakba. Since 2007, Israel has kept Gaza under an illegal military siege, counting calories allowed in and permitting the water in Gaza to become undrinkable,\u00a0creating a humanitarian crises\u00a0widely\u00a0condemned by the international\u00a0community.\u201d<\/p>\n

~\u00a0Jewish Voice for Peace<\/a>;\u00a0excerpted from the Article \u2018<\/em>Countdown to genocide: the year before October 7<\/a>,\u2019 published on November 23 (2023)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Before the events of October 7 & Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood,\u00a0<\/em>\u2018Israeli\u2019 society was already on the brink in more ways than one. The Netanyahu government, infamous for its endorsement of the ultra-right wing core of Zionist settlers, was making big moves:<\/p>\n

Settlements into the West Bank, illegal by every metric of International Law & already proliferating at exponential rates, were further exacerbated by the doling out of vital ministerial positions to the fringe Settler nutcases bent on mass Ethnic Cleansing.<\/p>\n

However, Netanyahu & stooges were not content with just this. Mass pogroms of Palestinians, once beyond the pale, were normalized. This set the stage for the mass normalization of Settler Violence, which began in earnest months before October 7:<\/p>\n

The Huwara Pogrom<\/a>, which began in early 2023, was a culmination of a decades-long transformation of Zionist society, which started in the post-Rabin era & sought to do away with any remaining vestiges of Labour Zionism & related secular movements.<\/p>\n

In the past, the displacement & dispossession of the Palestinians was pursued primarily through more muted means. Labour Zionism, & its sundry offshoots, was what promulgated this approach & for much of \u2018Israeli\u2019 history it remained that way:<\/p>\n

Ben-Gurion et al., the founding fathers of the Zionist menace, were mostly socialists & leftists. Their vision for \u2018Israel\u2019 was that it be a European-style socialist paradise that \u2018blooms in the desert,\u2019 surrounded by sundry savages & barbarians.<\/p>\n

However, it can be argued that said vision failed decisively the moment the Zionists engaged in the Nakba of 1948. The continuation of the Nakba, via policies of Apartheid & exclusion, has merely cemented said failure of the Zionist\u2019s primary vision.<\/p>\n

\u2018Israel\u2019 today is a society which, having shed its secular & leftist founding roots, is now wholly unmoored from all manner of reason, shame, humanity & decency. What little it possessed in said categories has all been decisively displaced:<\/p>\n

As the far right gains more significant influence, power & authority in the Occupational entity, the naked brutalism that it inflicts daily on the Palestinians, as well as its sundry Arab neighbours, will only increase in overall scale & scope.<\/p>\n

The Summer raid of the Jenin refugee camp<\/a>\u00a0was but one in a long line of rapidly accelerating escalations against the Palestinians. The Muslim world, pre-October 7, was already beginning to notice more & more of these barbarisms:<\/p>\n

Had there been no Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood,\u00a0<\/em>injustices of the sort mentioned earlier would have likely yielded similar reprisal & revenge attacks on a later date, considering how brazen & brutal said crimes were becoming.<\/p>\n

This, then, is the very first indicator of Zionism\u2019s collapse:<\/p>\n

The multiplication of enemies in & around the Apartheid entity was far beyond a level where its security apparatus could keep them in check any longer.<\/p>\n

If anything, \u2018Israeli\u2019 leadership had DOOM-ed the vile Settler Colony to a fate of endless war, bloodshed & collapse long before Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood\u00a0<\/em>became a reality.<\/p>\n

For, the seeds of said Nemesis were already prevalent\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn recent times, there has been a significant surge in global solidarity towards the Palestinian cause, marked by widespread demonstrations and events in many Western cities. This phenomenon represents a critical moment in international politics and raises important questions regarding the potential of this solidarity to influence Western policies concerning Palestine. It also necessitates an examination of the underlying reasons for this expanding support and the shift in narratives about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n

~\u00a0Taqwa Nedal Abu Kmeil<\/a>;\u00a0excerpted from the Analysis\u00a0<\/em>\u2018The Global Solidarity with the Palestinian Cause: Breaking Narratives and Shaping Policies<\/a>,\u2019 published on February 2 (2024)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Palestinian Liberation has primarily been a fringe issue for most Westerners, except socialist & leftist circles, who have been the standard bearers for the Palestinian cause in much of the Anglophone world. That calculus, however, is no longer the case:<\/p>\n

What \u2018Israel\u2019 has done via its brutal aerial bombing campaign against Gazah is that it has made the Palestinians & their plight front & central. The Palestinian\u2019s steadfastness, faith, resilience & determination has shone through all these horrors.<\/p>\n

For many, Palestine is presently the \u2018Moral Axis\u2019 of the world and the fulcrum upon which any future discussion of Human Rights and decency must be generated. Therefore, the Liberation of Palestine and its people is now of paramount importance.<\/p>\n

The Old World Order is dead<\/a>. The Western World can no longer lecture others about what it means to be Ethical, Humane, & Modern. For it has eschewed all of these (& much more) courtesy of its \u2018leaders\u2019 & Elite wantonly endorsing Zionist crimes.<\/p>\n

In the process of its facade of \u2018humanism\u2019 being shed, the Western World has likewise demonstrated decisively that the Genocidal regime in \u2018Israel\u2019 is not merely worthy of contempt but is likewise totally undeserving of having \u2018the right to exist.\u2019<\/p>\n

This is because the Zionists have demonstrated that their flimsy \u2018right to exist\u2019 comes at the expense of not just millions of Palestinians but, likewise, tens of millions of Arabs & others who live in West Asia & call it their home. The choice today is obvious:<\/p>\n

Either one endorses the dispossession of the Palestinians so that a bunch of messianic whackos can satiate their \u2018Superman\u2019 whims, or one accepts that such the Palestinian \u2018right to resist\u2019 means kicking out said \u2018Supermen\u2019 nutjobs from the region.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of the\u00a0*real*\u00a0<\/strong>international community (& not merely the Americans & their sundry vassals & satrapies), therefore, are on Team Palestine because they know very well that the injustice of dispossession can only be remedied by Liberation.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s case against the \u2018Israelis\u2019 at the ICJ<\/a>\u00a0is but the first step in this sea change of the international situation. From now onward, support for the Palestinians will only grow & the Zionist entity will only be further isolated & ostracized.<\/p>\n

Diplomatic, Economic & Moral isolation of \u2018Israel\u2019 will mean that, shortly, the Apartheid regime will be faced with bilateral sanctions, blockades & embargoes. These will inevitably unravel the vile regime, & turn it formally into an International Pariah.<\/p>\n

The second indicator of the coming Zionist unravelling, therefore, is as follows:<\/p>\n

Global Solidarity for Palestine is rapidly solidifying, & in the process, opposition to the Apartheid regime\u2019s sundry barbarisms is likewise hardening hearts worldwide for a final confrontation with said monstrosity & its various evils.<\/p>\n

\u2018Israeli\u2019 Hasbara may have flooded social media & related channels, impacting large segments of the American & EU public\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 However, the evils of Zionism are broadcast live today for the whole world to witness, & opposition to such barbarism by fair-minded people is inevitable!<\/p>\n

The \u2018Israeli\u2019 Economy\u2019s Future Collapse<\/h1>\n

\u201cIsrael\u2019s economy shrank by nearly one-fifth in the last three months of 2023, as war with the Hamas terror group in Gaza took a heavy toll on consumer spending, trade and investment, data released Monday showed.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s gross domestic product recorded a 19.4 percent drop-off of its annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to the preliminary figures published by the Central Bureau of Statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n

~\u00a0Sharon Wrobel<\/a>,\u00a0excerpted from the Article\u00a0<\/em>\u2018War-battered economy plunged almost 20%, marking sharpest contraction since pandemic<\/a>,\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>published on February 19 (2024)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

The Zionist assault on Gazah has not gone without severe economic cost. When hostilities broke out in the Fall of 2023, the \u2018Israeli\u2019 Offensive Forces (i.e., the IOF) had to call up well over 300,000 reserves for active duty, sending the economy tumbling:<\/p>\n

The \u2018Israeli\u2019 economy is nominally around 600 billion USD. The lion\u2019s share of said amount is earned by the technology sector, which is centred in & around Tel Aviv. However, it is precisely from this sector that most reserves were called up.<\/p>\n

Contrary to \u2018Israeli\u2019 Hasbara, the Zionists are not a people who \u2018made the desert bloom\u2019 courtesy of their own autarkic, innovative nature. Instead, the vast majority of \u2018Israeli\u2019 economic activity is heavily subsidized by their American poodles:<\/p>\n

US subsidies for the \u2018Israelis,\u2019 when inflation is factored in, amount to some 300 billion USD or so, spanning 1946-2022<\/a>. This averages to around ~4 billion USD per annum, which for a 600 billion USD economy is a significant amount in its budget sheet.<\/p>\n

\u2018Israeli\u2019 society thus runs like a Neo-Crusader military garrison with the organs of a state apparatus. The American poodles fork over substantial funds to subsidize healthcare, services, munitions, etc., while the Apartheid regime spends on the military:<\/p>\n

This has meant an extraordinarily fragile & plump system that no longer can fight a peer-to-peer conflict, opting instead for heavy-handed military policing operations against a primarily defenceless civilian population residing in Gazah & the West Bank.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Resistance movement is well aware of this grave oversight, which over several decades has hollowed out & deracinated the original founding stock of Zionist society, who were vile & Evil men of sound military ability & overall competence.<\/p>\n

This is why, post-Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood,\u00a0<\/em>the objective has been to overstretch the already fragile & heavily subsidized organs of the State to the point where they can no longer be maintained without imploding large segments of public life.<\/p>\n

The preliminary signs of this are now starting to show:<\/p>\n

The \u2018Israeli\u2019 economy contracted by around a fifth in Q4 of 2023<\/a>. Primarily, this has been courtesy of mass emigration from the Apartheid entity in recent weeks, coupled with labour shortages brought about via reserves getting called up.<\/p>\n

Then, too, foreign investment had dwindled to all-time lows & investor confidence has likewise cratered in recent months. Add in now the fact that most experts consider the security situation to be\u00a0status quo\u00a0<\/em>for the coming months & years:<\/p>\n

& you get an economy that every one of sound mind wishes to avoid with a ten-foot pole. It also does not help the Zionists that much of the actual\u00a0\u2018Civilized World\u2019\u00a0<\/em>despises them, courtesy of how they have vaunted their sundry inhumanities on live TV.<\/p>\n

The third indicator of the coming Zionist Fall can thus be summarized as follows:<\/p>\n

The economy is in freefall & all indications are that it will worsen.<\/p>\n

Additionally, \u2018Israel\u2019 is more Pariahic than ever before, with few willing to do business with said genocidal Settler Colony anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael has lost the war in besieged Gaza even if it invades the southern city of Rafah, and the Israeli army is exhausted on all fronts, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has said.<\/p>\n

\u2018After six months of fighting, the Hebrew state has failed to win a single victory or achieve a single objective,\u2019 Nasrallah said on Wednesday in a televised speech amid the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n

\u2018We say to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, even if you go to Rafah, you have lost the war, and you cannot eliminate Hamas or the resistance in Gaza despite all the massacres,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Israeli army today is tired and exhausted on all fronts, and the number of its casualties is very large and much larger than declared,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

~ Syed Hasan Nasrallah;\u00a0excerpted from the Article\u00a0<\/em>\u2018Israel lost the war in Gaza even if it invades Rafah \u2014 Hezbollah<\/a>,\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>published on March 13 (2024)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Central to Zionism (& its sundry variants) is the notion that Jews worldwide, regardless of nationality & other affiliations, can come to \u2018Israel\u2019 &, should they demonstrate sound descent from their maternal line, be given a path to citizenship.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Israeli\u2019 State is then obliged to provide them with housing, work & other necessities of life in mere months & years. The end result of all this is the dispossession & displacement of the indigenous Palestinians from their ancestral homes:<\/p>\n

From its inception in 1948 till today, this schema has run with considerable success, with the proliferation of illegal settlements in the Occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, Golan Heights & Shebaa Farm. That era, however, is rapidly coming to an end:<\/p>\n

\u2018Israelis\u2019 today no longer have confidence that their government, with its so-called \u2018Most Moral Army,\u2019 can defend them while they steal, kill, maim & loot from the Palestinians & others. Operation\u00a0Al-Aqsa Flood\u00a0<\/em>fundamentally changed this equation:<\/p>\n

What it demonstrated was that, despite all its sundry technologies & gadgetry, the Apartheid regime was (& still is) heavily susceptible to infiltration & military raids, given sufficient planning & preparation using cheap, reliable weaponry\u00a0en masse.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hezbollah & frens have recognized this paradigm shift & have acted accordingly. From October till today, hundreds of thousands of Zionists Settlers have been displaced from the Northern Occupied territories.\u00a0Many no longer wish to go back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What this means is that\u00a0Ipso Facto,\u00a0<\/em>a chain reaction has kicked off across wider \u2018Israeli\u2019 society, with many of Zionism\u2019s most ardent supporters realizing that the government can no longer guarantee their safety in the current (& future) security climate:<\/p>\n

Mass exodus from \u2018Israel\u2019 is the \u2018new normal.\u2019\u00a0Over 500,000 had fled the Apartheid entity by December of last year<\/a>, with the number today being likely double that. If so, \u2018Israel\u2019 is rapidly shrinking & this spells its utter DOOM in mere months & years.<\/p>\n

Before the war, some 9.8 million lived in Occupied Palestine, of which 7.1 million or so were Jews. A loss of 1+ million Jews in less than a year\u2019s worth of fighting signals that a Rhodesia-style implosion & social collapse is beckoning ever closer.<\/p>\n

Given heavy censorship (both civilian & military), it is difficult to gauge exact emigration flows presently. That said, the internal rot in security will only get worse, courtesy of the Men of the Islamic Resistance slowly boiling away the Zionist frog.<\/p>\n

Therefore, whether there are 1+ million emigrants or 2+ million of them currently, the bottom line is that this is the \u2018general direction of travel.\u2019 & so we have the fourth critical indicator on the coming DOOM of the Zionist Settler Colony:<\/p>\n

The inability of its military to effectively continue its Settler Colonist Operations in West Asia.<\/p>\n

As the regime gets bested by the Islamic Resistance on the battlefield with greater ferocity<\/a>, there is little doubt that Total Strategic Defeat is all but inevitable in the coming months & years, with Zionism\u2019s ignoble end following shortly afterward.<\/p>\n

Novel Jewish Attitudes to Zionism<\/h1>\n

\u201cIt was only after Israel\u2019s stunning victory in the 1967 Six-Day War that American Jews fell in love with Israel, which was then widely seen as the underdog in the Arab-Israeli conflict and an exemplar of a\u00a0socially progressive, egalitarian society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Supporting Israel came to dominate American Jewish public life and politics and became the one thing that almost all American Jews had in common. Their support tended to be unconditional and uncritical, especially during the two decades following the 1967 War when \u201cpro-Israelism\u201d became central to the\u00a0American Jewish \u201ccivil religion<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if they disagreed with what the Israeli government did, American Jews\u00a0generally toed the line in public<\/a>, as vocal criticism of Israel was taboo within the American Jewish community. Even in private, criticism was frowned upon. The prevailing belief was that only Israelis had the right to criticize their government since it was their lives at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Israel\u2019 today is a far cry from the socially progressive, egalitarian, European mixed economy that Ben-Gurion et al. first envisioned. The Apartheid & Genocidal nature of the entity has become apparent for all to witness, including Jews overseas.<\/p>\n

American Jews, in particular, once staunch advocates for the \u2018Israeli\u2019 cause, are beginning to rapidly distance themselves from the vile Zionist entity. Young Jews, who are primarily leftist & progressive in most cases, no longer identify with Zionism.<\/p>\n

\u2018Israel\u2019 has become the very antithesis of everything they believe in & stand for:<\/p>\n

It is an exclusionary, racist & supremacist society whose entire\u00a0Raison d\u2019etre\u00a0<\/em>is to inflict untold horrors on Palestinians, thereby cementing themselves as Nietzschean \u2018Supermen.\u2019 Such a society is utterly irredeemable to said Young Jews.<\/p>\n

Which is why many are leaving the Zionist bandwagon in droves<\/a>. Young Jews (in the USA, EU & beyond) have abandoned the Apartheid project decisively, & this trend does not show any indication of slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

This means that \u2018Israel\u2019 is now on the clock. There is a definitive time limit that it is under, after which the overseas funds, material, etc., run dry courtesy of the abandonment mentioned earlier. This creates a deterministic DOOM-loop:<\/p>\n

The Apartheid regime (aware of this rapid loss of support from overseas Jews) realizes that only by accelerating their sundry barbarisms against the Palestinians could the project of \u2018Greater Israel\u2019 be pursued to its conclusion, now that time is slipping away.<\/p>\n

But this means that the crimes & atrocities committed exponentially increase, & are passed all across Social Media with greater ferocity by journalists. This then means an accelerated loss of support amongst overseas Jews\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 which means a further \u2018doubling down\u2019 on the barbarisms noted earlier.<\/p>\n

To say that this has spooked Jewish Hasbara options worldwide is the understatement of the century<\/a>. Their panic, rage & emotive outbursts at this realization have become semi-legendary, & their crocodile tears are exquisite to Men of the Resistance:<\/p>\n

The vile Zionist enemy knows that support for its barbarism has reached its zenith &, henceforth, will only decline rapidly as more & more of its crimes see sunlight & are condemned by fair-minded people everywhere, Jew or non-Jew.<\/p>\n

The vile Zionist enemy knows that support for its barbarism has reached its zenith &, henceforth, will only decline rapidly as more & more of its crimes see sunlight & are condemned by fair-minded people everywhere, Jew or non-Jew.<\/p>\n

This means diplomatic, moral & economic isolation, when it inevitably crystallizes & accelerates to a more concrete & kinetic phase, will be like a noose around the \u2018Israeli\u2019 neck, incapable of being removed, ending the vile entity with a mundane finality.<\/p>\n

& so, we come to the fifth & final indicator of the coming Zionist collapse:<\/p>\n

The rapid evaporation of support for the entity among Jews overseas, & the fallout of said evaporation in the coming months & years.<\/p>\n

Time has run out for the vile Zionist regime now that its primary organs of support are beginning to abandon said cause\u00a0en masse.\u00a0<\/em>The\u00a0*exact*\u00a0<\/strong>timeline for the finale is unclear, but we are fast approaching it; that can be said with certainty.<\/p>\n

The rest is a matter of the details playing out\u2026<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h1>\n

\u201cTo begin with, Israel, as Outremer did in its time, depends for its survival on very large subsidies from the major Western powers.\u00a0 In the case of Israel, those mostly come from the United States.\u00a0 The US government spends many billions of dollars a year on direct and indirect aid to Israel, while America\u2019s large and relatively wealthy Jewish community\u2014which comprises the largest number of Jews in any single nation on Earth\u2014engages in a great deal of fundraising for Israel on its own behalf.\u00a0 Many synagogues and other Jewish community instititions in America serve just as effectively to channel resources to Israel as, say, the European properties and chapter houses of the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller did to keep wealth and weapons flowing to the kingdoms of Outremer.\u00a0 Without that aid, governmental and private, the large and well-equipped Israeli military would be far too great a burden on the economy of what is, after all, a very small and resource-poor country, and the balance of power in the region would shift dramatically to Israel\u2019s disadvantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

What can we make of these five indicators now that we can zoom out & take a bird \u2018 s-eye view of where things stand presently?<\/p>\n

Individually, these trends & indicators are mortal wounds, & have sufficient force & staying power to turn the vile Zionist entity upside-down. Collectively? They spell nothing less than the total unravelling & collapse of the Settler Colonist project.<\/p>\n

Now, some words of caution need to be spoken, given the fact that tales of \u2018Israel\u2019 & its inevitable collapse have (especially in the past few years or so) been manifold across a wide & disparate range of circles. These are as follows:<\/p>\n

None of us know with\u00a0*absolute certainty*\u00a0<\/strong>when exactly this monstrous tumour will finally meet its end. We can merely look at trendlines, patterns & indicators, which can then be extended outward into the future. This is the crux of analysis,\u00a0writ large<\/em>:<\/p>\n

These can then all be collated together, reasoned about & taken apart & critiqued. Afterward, a sound basis can be gleaned from which specific predictions can be made. It is my understanding that this can now be done for \u2018Israel\u2019 & its ignoble end:<\/p>\n

This is not\u00a0\u2018Prophecy,\u2019\u00a0<\/em>nor wishful thinking & make-believe.<\/p>\n

Instead, this is where the \u2018facts of the matter\u2019 indicate the move will be.<\/p>\n

I hope, Dear Readers & Listeners, you take it to be the latter & not the former. I, your friendly neighbourhood DOOM Merchant, hope you found my analytical piece sound & compelling. If so, please share, re-Stack, like & pass it around!<\/p>\n

Finally, Many Thanks to the Wonderful Sir Kevin Barrett for hosting this analytical piece as a guest essay! I am deeply grateful for this exceptionally kind gesture and look forward to future collaborations.<\/p>\n

Goodbye for now!<\/p>\n

& remember\u2026\u00a0The DOOM cometh!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
