Better Believe Israel When it Says it is a Reflection of Western "Civilization"
The emperor wears no clothes; the West can now openly be seen for the rotten, racist, materialistic, and violent entity that it is.
Israel stands as a stark manifestation of Western imperialism, not merely as a relic of colonial ambitions but as an active participant in the tradition of forceful Western expansion. This state, born from the ashes of European anti-Semitism and nurtured on the ideologies of racial supremacy, reflects the accumulated pathologies of its creators. It is, in many ways, a blister revealing the deeper sickness within Western society—a society that has long mastered the art of concealing its intensely racist core, born out of imperialistic greed.
For centuries, Jews in Europe faced relentless persecution, culminating tragically in the Holocaust. This catastrophic event did not occur in isolation; it was the product of a deeply ingrained racist culture that centered around the philosophy of Europeanness as the norm for human existence, both physically (phenotype) and culturally (so-called ‘civility’). Hence, Hitler and the Nazis were not unique, nor did they emerge from a vacuum; they were the direct descendants of this philosophy that had been central to Western societies for centuries. In this context, the creation of Israel was paradoxically both a refuge for Jews and a continuation of racist suffering—a sanctuary engineered by the same hateful ideologies that sought to eradicate Jewish presence in Europe.
Fleeing White Supremacy, Carrying its Legacy: The Duality of Zionism
Zionism, often misunderstood merely as a Jewish nationalist movement, was in many ways a double-edged sword. It provided an escape from persecution while simultaneously acting as a method of banishment. Initially, the project was funded and supported by notorious anti-Semites who saw it as a convenient solution to the "Jewish question" in Europe. Thus, Zionism was shaped and propelled not out of a genuine concern for Jewish welfare but as an expedient tool to "cleanse" Europe. Zionist Jews themselves actively made use of this by feeding anti-Semitism across Europe and the Arab world in order to encourage more Jews to migrate to Israel.
Furthermore, the ideological foundation of Zionism was rooted not merely in Judaism but predominantly in European (Ashkenazi-white) Jewish identity. Zionist Jews carried with them the internalized racism and white supremacy ingrained within the European societies from which they came. Consequently, Jews fleeing from white supremacist persecution in Europe were paradoxically unable to coexist peacefully with the local Palestinian population due to the internalization of that same white supremacy. As such, Israel’s societal structure not only dehumanizes native Palestinians but also mirrors European racial hierarchies within its own Jewish community, placing black Jews and other marginalized groups at the bottom of the social ladder. This stark hierarchy underscores the troubling legacy of Israel as a perpetuator of racial discrimination rooted in Western imperialism.
The Classic Colonial Playbook
The establishment of Israel was executed with the cold, calculating logic of Jewish (Ashkenazi-white) supremacist colonization. It mirrored the classic Western colonial playbook: dismiss and dehumanize the indigenous population, seize control through violence, and maintain dominance by creating an internal apartheid system and sowing regional instability. The Palestinians, like countless indigenous peoples before them, were swept aside, their rights and histories trampled under a narrative that justified conquest in the name of a "return" to a homeland, marketed as liberation and self-determination—a laughable claim, as emphasized by Israeli dissident Alon Mizrahi, considering that this so-called ‘return’ implied white Europeans with Western accents importing a secular white-dominated European state into West Asian lands.
Israel's very existence and continued expansion have been sustained purely through violence and the destabilization of its neighbors. This approach is emblematic of Western intervention globally, where the purported aims of ‘democracy’ and ‘'human rights’ mask a relentless pursuit of control and exploitation.
Moreover, Israel embodies the military-industrial complex, encapsulating the greed, violence, and exploitation that are hallmarks of Western capitalism. It stands as a bastion of ‘democracy’ in a region often portrayed by the West as filled with despotism, yet this image is a façade that glosses over the systemic oppression and apartheid practices within its borders. Israel's self-identification as a democratic entity in a sea of tyranny is reminiscent of the colonial reversal of reality through the trope of the "civilizing force in a savage world."
This narrative serves not only to justify brutal practices but also to uphold a global status quo where Western powers use Israel as a strategic proxy to exert influence and control over the Middle East and beyond. The repercussions of this strategy are profound, stretching far beyond the immediate geographical confines of the Israeli colonization of Palestine.
Israel Exposes the West for What it is.
The unwavering support for Israel by Western nations, particularly the United States, is not just a political alliance but a reflection of shared imperialistic values. This alliance, however, is proving to be a Pyrrhic victory for the West. The insistence on maintaining this outpost of Western imperialism is increasingly alienating global opinion, destabilizing international relations, and revealing the lie of a Western advocacy for democracy and human rights.
The cloak of "civility, democracy, and freedom"—meticulously cultivated by the West for centuries through the imposition of Westernized (and whitified) Christianity, propagandistic education, and later Hollywood and algorithms—is now being destroyed within a matter of months. The emperor wears no clothes anymore and can be seen for the rotten, racist, materialistic, and violent entity that it is.
As the global community becomes more interconnected and aware, the stark inconsistencies and injustices of the Israeli state and its backers are laid bare. What was once a tool for regional dominance is morphing into a catalyst for international disdain and disapproval, undermining the very global hegemony it was meant to preserve.
Western-Backed Hell on Earth
Israel is not just a country; it is a lens through which we can view the failings and dangers of a Western-centric approach to world affairs. It serves as a stark reminder that the tools of imperialism—once thought to secure dominance—can become the seeds of its undoing. As the world observes the Western-backed hell on earth in Palestine, it becomes increasingly clear that a reevaluation of Western foreign policies and their long-term implications is not just necessary but extremely urgent. Our survival literally depends on it. The only path forward is to excise the Western approach to the world from our societies, replacing it with a genuine commitment to justice and equity, not only within the borders of Israel and Palestine but across all nations where the shadows of Western imperialism still loom large.

Indeed, a cult of genocide and ethnic cleansing….white supremacy and racism is their common calling!
