Afrasianet - The issue of Western complicity, or rather participation with universal enthusiasm in Israel's genocide in Gaza, remained a major mystery that puzzled and tortured people for months, then began to fade and normalize public opinion and genocide.
The genocide committed by the Zionist entity in the Gaza Strip covered 15 months and is still ongoing. Extermination targeted civilians with more than 3,000 massacres, and its victims exceeded 150,000 martyrs, missing and wounded, hospitals referred mass graves and exterminated their crews and inmates, arrested thousands and killed some of them by torture, destroyed homes, schools, facilities and water wells, bombed hundreds of shelters, burned the tents of the displaced with their residents and desecrated cemeteries!
However, Biden, his administration and the West continued to deny the reality of this ongoing genocide and continue not to condemn the daily slaughter of civilians, children, women and the elderly, which exposes their full acceptance of genocide as a reasonable realistic way to sustain and expand the Zionist entity!
And let people stop at the question: Why is this happening? When things are repeated more than a certain number of times. When something happens over and over again, or for a long time, it just becomes another part of reality, no matter how terrible it may seem at first.
Alon Mizrahi, an Israeli writer who studies colonial issues, argues that the deep historical narrative and psychological trap behind the slavery mentality of Israel in the West.
There is unity between the direct and deranged Israeli perpetrators of genocide and most of the West as a fact. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial to the struggle against colonialism. He also notes that although it is not as publicly expressed as it was before the genocide, the unlimited willingness of Western powers to serve Israel still leaves people existentially puzzled.
There are well-known issues such as co-colonialism, white supremacy, guilt toward the Holocaust, and Jewish lobbyists. These are strong and important factors in the West's support for Israel, but they do not provide a complete answer. The identification with genocide shown by Western leaders over 15 months cannot be explained by coercion, emotional blackmail, and general ideological affinity.
Western countries are suffering real damage and tarnishing as a result of their overt support for the mass murder of innocent human beings. It continues to support genocide, despite outrage and sharp criticism, and in defiance of human sentiment, not explained by fear of losing primaries, or a longing desire to see a white empire dominate the entire planet.
There is more than all that concerning the deepest sense of identity among Western social elites and institutions. There is something more to fear by Western institutions than involvement in the mass murder of children, which they know the whole world is watching on air.
So what are they so afraid of?
They fear revealing their true identity, they fear the scorching light of truth, the truth behind this frantic fear leads to identity and the basic narratives behind history and history. We will find answers in the Jewish self-narrative, how Jews collectively, theologically, and popularly believe they originated, what they represent, and what equivalents in America's founding narratives.
There is a specific point in the Bible (Old Testament) at which the story of the Jews (the self) begins, and its equivalents in the West. This point concerns Western colonialism, which relies heavily on his conception of Christianity and the Bible to visualize what he was doing when he encountered America, colonized it, and exterminated almost all anti-colonizers.
European settlers in America saw themselves as God's chosen people, but how did the Israelis see themselves, and how did they imagine their own history?
In Genesis, chapter 12, the story of the Hebrews begins in the Bible (Hebrew). In the previous eleven chapters, the Bible tells its readers how the world was created, the story of Noah's flood, and other things about the ancient families and people of God's world. After describing the rise and fall of the Tower of Babel in the previous chapter, and introducing the character of Abraham, chapter 12 does something new: It tells readers about the special, intimate, and lasting connection that will soon become a covenant between God and Abraham:
1- And the Lord said unto Abram, "Go from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land which I will show thee."
2- I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and it will be a blessing.
3- I will bless those who are blessed and I will curse you. And all the tribes of the earth shall bless you.
4- So Abram went as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he came out of Haran.
5. So Abram Sarai took his wife, and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which had been acquired and the souls they possessed in Haran. And they went out to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.
This is the moment when the nation of the Hebrews was created, which the Jews claim to be their direct descendants.
What can we learn from these lines above?
The Hebrews did not originate in Canaan. They did not originate in Haran (present-day Turkey, near the border of Syria) either, as chapter 11 tells us:
"And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, the son of his son, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of Abram his son, and together they went out of your of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and stayed there."
Your of the Chaldeans is located in Tell al-Muqayr in southern Iraq. If Abraham was taken by his father from Iraq to Turkey, God ordered Abraham to go to Canaan, which became known as the Promised Land.
The anachronism of this small picture of the Bible is that, just as the current second time the descendants of the so-called Hebrews tried this, the first time the Hebrews colonized Palestine was not theirs, they had no historical right to it, and they were not indigenous to it. They invaded, plundered, and killed because they thought God had commanded them to do so. Like the current second time, the original Canaanites were described as evil and demonic creatures, while trying to defend themselves. Against an invading group.
This in itself is worth some pause.
Historians have treated this fact as an immutable fact, and it has been well documented in a large number of books and articles. Another famous fact is to be alluded here: America's first European settlers considered themselves the new Israelites, and believed America to be the promised land given to them as part of a covenant with God.
This is not a passing anecdote or observation! This belief was decisive and effective in the colonization process and was at the heart of the colonial psyche and mentality. They spoke and wrote about it endlessly.
According to Wikipedia, many European colonists saw America as the "promised land," a haven from religious conflict and persecution. In 1630, the Puritan pastor John Cotton gave a sermon on "God's Promise to Give Plantations to the Colonists from England to Massachusetts," in which the story of the Exodus of the Israelites was frequently mentioned, and later German immigrants sang: "America. A beautiful land promised by God to Abraham."
In his 1783 independence sermon, Yale University President Ezra Styles noted that Americans had been chosen and freed from slavery to the Promised Land: God would make American Israel "elevated above all the nations He created," reflecting the language of Deuteronomy (in the Old Testament) about divine promise.
In his book The Gentiles in the Promised Land: Deciphering the Christian Doctrine of Discovery (2008), Stephen Newcomb states that the Christian doctrine of discovery also claimed the "right to kill and plunder non-Christians," a right found in the tradition of the covenant with the Lord (covenant of the Israelites), where in Deuteronomy he told "his chosen people" how they must "completely destroy the many nations before you" when He brought them to the land He discovered and promised His chosen people to "possess" it! This has been woven " Right" in U.S. law through the Supreme Court ruling in the case of "Johnson v. McIntosh" in 1823.
