Zionism: Endgame
Where The Current Middle East Conflict Is Heading
As I write this article, my home country of Lebanon is being viciously bombed by American fighter jets piloted by Zionists. Israel is preparing for its sixth invasion of Lebanon in forty years. The level of destruction is surreal and terrifying to witness, and if Gaza is anything to go by, it’s going to get much worse. As is my usual complex-trauma response, whenever I am overwhelmed, I zoom out and seek to understand.
With the first anniversary of October 7 coming up, anyone not under the spell of Western and Zionist propaganda can see a clear pattern emerging. Firstly, the current events have nothing to do with what happened that day, or with the remaining hostages left abandoned in Gaza by the Netanyahu government. That fateful incursion by Hamas a year ago was merely an opportunity for the powers-that-be to exploit public opinion towards fast-tracking their long-standing geopolitical aims.
Every day, Antony Blinken and co. in the US State Department continue to preach ‘peace’ via ceasefire negotiations. Meanwhile, they practice violence by arming Israel to the teeth to commit their genocide in Gaza and pursue regional war. America is burning through their global soft power like wildfire, and exposing a hypocrisy that would be hilarious if it were not so horrific in its consequences on the ground.
Despite all the doubt and confusion Western propaganda and Zionist ‘Hasbara’ aim to sow about US/Zionist intentions in West Asia, the goal is clear: Jewish supremacy in a ‘Greater Israel’; free of any regional threats.
Such an outcome benefits the US, which is closely integrated with the Israelis, seeing them as their ‘attack bulldog’ or ‘aircraft carrier on land’ in the Middle East. That is, Israeli hegemony in Western Asia equates to US hegemony. This explains the extent that the West has gone to keep these horrific atrocities going, even willing to ‘tolerate’ all-out war and the complete destruction of the Levant.
The Greater The Better
So how will this Greater Israel look? The Jerusalem Post is wondering the same thing:
The following map is also doing the rounds online:
Many would tell you that Greater Israel is the delusional vision of a select few hardliners — no need to take it seriously. What we can take seriously, however, is the Zionist occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights after the 1967 war. And the occupation of the Lebanese Shebaa Farms, which was held onto by the Zionists after they were expelled from Lebanon by Hezbollah in 2000.
We should also probably take seriously the Israeli Government’s insistence that Hezbollah retreat north of the Litani River in Lebanon. What will happen if they do? Maybe include that in the list of ‘occupied’ territories?
Textbook geopolitics tells us that a state establishes security by looking to expand its borders until it reaches natural boundaries, such as mountain ranges or oceans. This reduces the vulnerability to hostile invasion. Failing this, the state will look to either destroy external threats through war, or ally themselves with certain powers to neutralise them as a threat. In short, you look to fortify your state, and either kill or befriend potential enemies.
The Israeli state is predicated on the idea that God promised the Jews a homeland some 2000 years ago, and now they want it back. How much of the land exactly is still disputed.
The UN partitioned Palestine in 1948 and awarded the Zionists their long-sought-after state, giving them a sizable chunk of the land. Since then, however, the land which the Zionists control has only increased, made possible through conquest during the 1967 war, and gradual land theft in the West Bank in the decades since.
Ideology seemingly dictates that Lebanon, Jordan and huge swathes of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq and Egypt belong to the Greater Israel project. In any case, geopolitics also demands expansion of territory to create buffers. Having the Syrian Golan Heights now protects the Zionists from being attacked from above. If they can drive out Hezbollah and secure all Lebanese land south of the Litani River, they will finally have a natural barrier in the north. If they can move beyond that towards Beirut — as they did in 1982 when they invaded during the Lebanese Civil War — then they would humbly accept this expanded buffer.
The State Of The Geopolitical Chessboard
Currently, Lebanon and Palestine are deemed as ‘non-compliant’ threats to Israeli security and US interests, and must be dealt with. Egypt and Jordan have been neutered and become US vassal states, both long-ago signing peace agreements with the Zionists after decades of hostility. Syria and Iraq have become failed states, with civil war fomented in Syria, and the US successfully confiscating Saddam Hussein’s ‘weapons of mass destruction’, killing a million Iraqis in the process while birthing the hellspawn known as ISIS from Iraq’s collective trauma.
The Gulf countries have normalised with the Zionists, as has Saudi Arabia in every way short of signing on the dotted line. The oil-rich countries of the Gulf have aligned their economic interests with Israel, looking to create a ‘new Europe’ in West Asia, hence ensuring their survival beyond the oil age.
That leaves Iran, along with its allies in the axis of resistance. While the Israeli aim of ‘destroying’ Hamas has failed, the Zionists have succeeded in inflicting apocalyptic genocide on the people of Gaza. The violent annexation of the West Bank has rapidly increased, hidden behind the smoke of the never-ending bombings in the Strip. The Zionists are now in the process of annihilating Lebanon brick-by-brick, and Iran has officially entered the conflict, only this week striking the Zionist heartland with hundreds of missiles. Regional war is here.
This is it. The Zionist dream of West Asian dominance appears just beyond the horizon, shimmering like a mirage. Soon, all scores will be settled, with Hamas, Hezbollah and the pesky Ansar Allah (The Houthis) having been crushed. On the geopolitical chessboard, the US-led West will soon join the Zionists in taking on the ‘king’ Iran and checkmating them, finally gaining their long-coveted hegemony over the entire region. Easy-peasy.
Or is it? Using the fate of other colonial projects in history as models, let’s consider where this ‘golden opportunity’ might take the Zionist project:
1. Total Domination (Australia, the USA, Canada)
As with the settler-colonial projects in Australia, Canada and the USA, the Zionists are looking to crush all resistance in the region. Carrot and stick diplomacy states that if you play along, you will be rewarded, but if you do not… Well, the footage on social media coming out of Gaza and Lebanon tells you all you need to know.
Absolute victory for the Zionists means all resistance to their hegemony must be crushed. Perhaps the remaining natives inside conquered territory will be rounded into Bantustans or ‘reservations’? Who knows. Gaza might soon provide clues as to how this might look. Whatever it takes for the Western-backed Zionists to move forward unobstructed, they will do.
2. Full Integration of the Natives (New Zealand)
In New Zealand, the Maori culture is embraced and integrated into the state, and the Maori have political representation. Funnily enough, this model is already applied in the Israeli state, with the two million Arab-Israelis having representation in parliament, and falafel and hummus being declared to be ‘national dishes’ of Israel.
The problem with integrating all Palestinians into the Israeli state, however, is that doing so would make Jews a minority. This would knee-cap Jewish supremacy, and so is not a viable option. It is the reason the other five million Palestinians are currently being held behind Apartheid walls and fences while being ‘pressured’ to leave — to put it lightly.
3. Resistance Victory (Algeria, Vietnam)
In both Algeria and Vietnam, violent resistance led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in the face of a brutal last gasp of the occupier.
Vietnam shows parallels, in that one side has a vastly superior military. However, the USA did not build a state over Vietnam and develop it over seventy-five years, and Iran possesses a formidable arsenal of weapons. Unlike the Viet Cong, Iran can cause enormous damage in a conventional war.
Algeria is a more apt example, as the French settled the land for over one-hundred years before being forced out. This is what the axis of resistance is looking to achieve in West Asia. Their motto is: We don’t have to win, we only have to not lose. As with all struggles of independence, it is a battle of wills, a war of attrition which the axis of resistance — and the Zionists — aim to win.
4. Economic Strangulation (Apartheid South Africa)
The Palestinian-led BDS movement (boycott, divest, sanction) is looking to emulate the success of Apartheid South Africa. Through suffocating the Zionist project via its ‘economic umbilical cord’, the movement aims to bring the Zionists to the negotiating table.
So far the BDS movement has potential. The ‘No Thanks’ boycott app is being downloaded in the millions. The movement is gaining traction, yet we are still to reach critical mass. This could change the longer the regional war rages, and the more world opinion turns against the Zionists.
5. Multi-State Solution (Ireland, Balkans)
As with Gaza, forced starvation and genocide took place in Ireland and the former Yugoslavia respectively. Yet eventually, the warring parties came to the negotiating table. Ireland is currently split into two sides living in relative peace; Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Balkan states have also signed peace agreements, where a balance of power has been achieved.
This is the model which has been touted by Western politicians for decades. Yet it has proven to be mere Kabuki theatre to distract the public. 800,000 settlers in the West Bank have ensured that the two-state solution will never come to fruition. It would take a major miracle and massive demographic transformation to lay the groundwork.
Where To From Here?
Being a native Lebanese, I have many emotions and opinions about this situation. Yet even now, as I watch entire blocks in my country being pulverised, and entire families being wiped out as they were in Gaza, I cling to hope. I would love to see a singular, secular state where all three Abrahamic faiths can co-exist peacefully — without any foreign influence. But that is mere idealism. Let’s get back to the real world.
Whether it is in Eastern Europe against Russia, The Pacific against China or West Asia against Iran and the Arab resistance, the West demands nothing less than absolute obedience and hegemony. As long as the West maintains this position, and as long as Russia, China, Iran and the Arabs refuse to bow down, we are in for a rocky ride. Endless war will rage in all three hot spots, as it already has in Ukraine and the Levant, likely turning into a World War once Taiwan heats up.
After tens, or possibly hundreds of millions of deaths, the world as we know it will collapse, and a new order will emerge. How that will look is anyone’s guess. Whether Zionism is even a factor in this new world at all is yet to be seen.
What is obvious is that the West’s insatiable thirst for West Asian dominance is perfectly compatible with Zionism. And as long as the resistance lives, the conflict will continue to drive us further into the abyss.
The Israeli military’s blood thirst seems to have no end. In this regard, no article or ‘debate’ about this conflict even matters. Wheels are in motion now which I fear cannot be stopped. It will be the generals in the war rooms and soldiers on the ground who will do the talking.
This is all clear to see once you stop paying attention to the Western media, which tells us that the Biden administration is “working around the clock” to ensure a ceasefire, even as they send tens of billions of dollars of weapons to Israel to help them mow down the Arabs and create ‘a new Middle East’ with their oil-rich friends in the Gulf.
The fact is that a ceasefire is possible — if the resistance lays down its arms and surrenders to Western-Zionist domination. From a geopolitical lens, pursuing regional hegemony makes sense if you are a Zionist. That is their prerogative.
As is the resistance’s right to fight back.
