Some observations on the Settler’s Rampage in the Levant
Now that the ventriloquist prompter-reading dummy in the White House has unleashed his rabid dogs in Occupied Palestine to visit Lebanon, what he has ordered done in the Gaza Strip, I think that it is necessary to share some of the observations I made when the orgies of unremitting blood-letting started.
"The sad fact is that the Jews have no monopoly on suffering. As an African, I should know what I am talking about. Few people in history have suffered as much as we Africans. No other people suffered the twin carnage of slavery and colonialism.
What is more, we have not received even an apology, much less reparation, for all the crimes that have been committed against us!
The Israelis continually yell "violence," "violence" against the Palestinians when, going by their atrocious behavior in Palestine, they are the most violent people on earth. Very few people hold candles to the Jewish settlers when it comes to naked aggression, rampant brutality, and utter dehumanization.
The limits of tyrants, Frederick Douglass told us, are prescribed by those whom they oppress. It is for the Palestinians to show enough resolve to free themselves by any means necessary. They should stop deluding themselves that the West, which has never shown any genuine interest in helping colonial people to achieve their liberation, is going to help them.
The simple logic, which is eluding the Zionists, as it has eluded all oppressors in history, is that oppression cannot, by definition, co-exist with peace. Oppressors always want "peace," "law and order." The oppressed want one thing and one thing only: the end of their oppression. The only lesson we can learn from history is that all oppression ultimately comes to an end. This is a lesson the Israelis and their backers must learn. Until they learn that they cannot build a peaceful country on the backs of the Palestinians, the Israelis will continue to be people at home who do not feel at home." - https://femiakogun.substack.com/p/cry-palestine
I concluded my article, "Israel: A Bastard Behaving True to Type," thus: "Will the Zionists learn a lesson before it is too late? As I wrote in the piece "Cry Palestine" (Swans, February 23, 2009), no oppression can last forever.
I am old enough to remember the Boer leaders also strutting the world stage like some invincible overlords. Today, while Mandela has been elevated to sainthood, his oppressors have all been consigned to the dustbin of history.
It is not a question of if Gazans will be free but when they will be free. Demography alone argues against a sustainable occupation." - https://femiakogun.substack.com/p/israel-a-bastard-behaving-true-to
The Mother of All Question: Why do people, including knowledgeable analysts, want us to think or believe that puny Israel with little industrial capacity is capable of waging wars against all its neighbors?
The bombs and the delivery platforms are made and supplied by the West, led by Uncle Sam.
Think about it!
