Alić: Palestine as a testing ground for the balance of power between what remains of the West and what has been established so far by BRICS

Written by: Sead Alić

1230 BCE. Jews conquer the area of eastern Jordan. The leader of this movement is Moses. Joshua leads the conquest of western Jordan. This is clearly written by Werner Keller in The History of the Jews from Biblical Times. So in both cases it is about 'conquest'. If it is about conquest, then it is about land that belonged to another people. If someone today invokes 'biblical law', they must explain the reason and character of that conquest.

The struggle against those who stood in the way of the Jewish tribes at that time was supported by a religious revelation that demands and requires the extermination of those who stood in the way of the 'chosen people'. In the Jerusalem Bible, Samuel 15 (1-3) says: "Samuel said to Saul, 'The Lord sent me to anoint you king over his people Israel. Now listen to the words of the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'"

The Kenites/Kenizzites/Canaanites fare somewhat better: "Go and separate yourselves from the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them, for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt." (1 Samuel 15:6). The Canaanites are thus 'kindly asked' (like today's Palestinians) to leave their homes and distance themselves from the Amalekites (who could not accept that someone could declare what was theirs as their own).

What happened a little over 3,300 years ago is happening again. Now, however, it is happening live. All those who rebelled against the re-conquest of Palestine were called terrorists and condemned in advance. All those who did not leave their homes were condemned for collaborating with terrorists.

Geostrategic interests invoke the Bible, reading it uncritically. Today, Palestine is being conquered by invoking the right of a people who once lived in that area, ignoring the fact that that same people actually conquered and took that land back then. And in doing so, they committed terrible atrocities. What is happening to us today is the screening of biblical events from some ancient times.

The Bible live transmits to us daily the killing of all living things in Palestine. How to understand?

Trying to understand the genocide against the Palestinian people, which is being carried out with the consent and even the help of civilized European countries and the United States, means calling into question the thought, logic, morality, religions, politics, and the entire value system of our modernity.

As in other similar situations (and we had one relatively recently in Bosnia), it is difficult even to pose the question because the questions already suggest a certain context. It is by no means the same whether we ask about the (im)morality of this or that act or whether we try to view everything in the context of the intertwining of political, religious, economic, mythological, and even contemporary global, neocolonial, neo-imperialist connections of interests and new geostrategic divisions of the world.

In fact, everything is at play. All levels are present. All wounds are open. All ideologies have come to life. All myths have revived. Both faith and unbelief experience the fullness of the war against the Palestinians. Geostrategic goals are dressed in religious garb. History is viewed as a space for realizing the biblical myth. One country becomes a testing ground for the balance of power between what remains of the West and what has been established so far by BRICS.

The world of petrodollars, in the costume of a civilized Westerner, proves itself by supporting (with weapons, money, media, military-political networking of ideology) a regime that probably returns a large part of the invested money through lobbying (read bribery) of key people in the US administration. And not only the US.

The Zionist idea has set out to collect on the crimes against Jews throughout history. But a piece of Palestine is no longer enough. Netanyahu licks his lips while showing Egypt, Libya, Syria, Jordan on the map... Not forgetting to mention that these countries are up to 40 times larger in territory than his state entity, which he intends to cleanse racially, religiously, culturally, and civilizational. Through an unprecedented crime, of course.

Much truth has been spoken in the statement that Palestine is currently one of the few free states. Countries that invoke Western civilizational values are actually caught in the same web of hatred that throughout history hunted Jews across Europe, drove them into ghettos, led them to gas chambers, and tried to exterminate them.

The victims have become monstrous instruments of the lie that 'all Jews should live in one state'. Few recognized that it is a new gas chamber with delayed gas release. Because killing all Palestinians, whether armed or not, whether in hospitals or trenches, exterminating them through hunger, thirst, expulsion from their own homes, driving them into the desert, allowing a humanitarian aid convoy to bring only a shamefully symbolic amount of aid—all this portends a polarization of the world in which we will have to choose sides.

The Nazis, disguised as Poles, destroyed a border barrier on the Polish border. The SADists, disguised as Bin Laden's followers, carried out a 'controlled demolition' of the Twin Towers (secured against terrorist attacks just before the 'attack'). The Zionists, who otherwise boasted that not even a mouse could pass through the walls of the largest open-air concentration camp in the world, showed that their defense system has a yellow spot, and precisely when that wall began to be torn down by representatives of a movement they themselves supported and even financed.

Goebbels' 'wisdom' about a lie becoming truth through sufficient repetition has become the truth of a false value system. The lie of media shaping of the public has reached its highest levels: It is no longer even important what is said (slips of the tongue are happening more and more often to TV show hosts), only the amount of media space advocating one side or the other matters.

The truth of Palestine is currently advocated by genuine Jewish believers (who lived and still want to live in peace with Palestinians in Palestine), millions of citizens of the world in the capitals of world metropolises regardless of faith or nationality, rare free media, a small number of journalists reporting from Palestine (who have not been chased away, intimidated by the murder of their families, or killed themselves).

The truth about Palestine has currently fled into the catacombs beneath the Palestinian land, awaiting the resurrection of the idea of Good. The Zionist version of the truth is a propaganda distortion of facts. It rests on the credit of the Holocaust, the weapons of America, the guilt of Europe, the constant production of excesses as a pretext for new conquests and new killings of the state into which the followers of the pamphlet about the Zionist state and uncritical readers of the Bible have moved.

One of the Zionist soldiers corrected a TV host who tried to ask a question about the fight against armed units. In a moment of honesty, the soldier said that the war is being waged against all Palestinians. In doing so, he of course confirmed the mythical framework of indoctrination and instrumentalization. The Zionists are godless people ready to kill in the name of God (of course, the kind of God they tailor to the needs of global players). In a similar way that the Orthodox/Serbian part of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian community could commit the crimes it did only because it believed in a falsely presented image of a God who chose his people—so today the Zionists kill 'with a prayer on their lips'.

That prayer, unfortunately, is not addressed to God but to global players who send them weapons and who need them to wage wars on their behalf. The unscrupulousness of the Zionist trained uniforms (not only towards Palestinians but also towards Jews who dare to oppose) testifies to the ambitions of the former victims of the Holocaust.

Exterminate all Palestinians or expel them to countries where Arabs live. Children should be killed because children will one day grow up and become warriors. Women should be killed because they give birth and will give birth to new warriors. The elderly should be killed because they advise and will advise mothers, sons, and grandchildren.

All men should be killed because you never know when they will take up arms. If there are 'innocent' among them—the concept of Islamic Spain should be applied to them: Kill them all and let God decide who among them is innocent.

The world sees this and the world knows this. Just one frame from destroyed Gaza, or from any other city/village where Palestinians live, is enough. It is enough to see with what bestiality Palestinian residents are driven to leave their homes and apartments in Jerusalem.

The bombing of one hospital or one church is enough to understand everything. And what about the repeated bombings of city neighborhoods and districts in the immediate vicinity of schools or hospitals? For hypocritical intellectuals, these are all military targets. They are, of course, right because schools and hospitals, as well as churches and mosques, are witnesses to the evil that the Zionist army is carrying out in Palestine. They are all military targets because everything that exists in Palestine rebels against the genocide by the followers of the Holocaust.

They are all military targets because the idea of Palestine cannot be exterminated from the heart, from the mind, from every living being of Palestine. The media are mostly on the side of lies. Global media are on the side of the 'global lie'. The truth remains in the catacombs and guerrilla media warfare with words. The millions of people protesting on the streets must spill over onto social networks. The only hope is persistent, consistent, and strong opposition to turning lies into truth through repetition.
