A commentary on an extraordinary war-mongering article by the Israeli outlet ynet
By Michael Pröbsting, Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT), 10 October 2024, www.thecommunists.net
A few days ago, the Israeli online outlet ynet published an opinion article which is extraordinary by any standards. The article, written by the right-wing lawyer Ben-Dror Yemini, has the telling title “Israel must go crazy and strike Iran.
The very fact that it has been published by an outlet which is part of the Yedioth Ahronoth Media Corp. Israel’s largest media group shows that this is not the obscure rant of a crackpot. It is rather an authentic representation of a crackpot states mindset.
Basically, the author displays a grotesque combination of the Zionists paranoia with their wild bloodthirst and their striving for genocide and wars of annihilation against the Palestinians, against Lebanon, Iran, and whoever else. The message is one similar to violent hooligan groups in a football stadium: Everyone hates us, so we hate everyone! In summary, this is the Zionist voice of desperation
“A year has passed since the brutal massacre. A year has passed since the raping of our people. A year of rockets. A year of missiles. A year of suffering. A year of being displaced in our country. A year of protests. A year of antisemitic rhetoric. A year in which the real war is actually against Iran. A year in which most of the free world proves, day after day, that it is not free.”
According to author, the whole world even the so-called free world, i.e. the Western imperialist countries has turned away from Israel and its suffering.
“The free world has gone mad. It is trapped by an industry of lies in which the axis of evil, imposing destruction, terror and devastation, is seen as just, and Israel as the problem. () The streets of London, Paris, New York and Madrid are filled with protesters who support the axis of evil. Countless lecturers, most lecturers, stand on the side of the axis of evil. They justify the massacre. They accuse Israel of colonialism. They accuse Israel of genocide. They lie non-stop. They know, and certainly should know, that the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah openly declare that their goal is the annihilation of Jews and the conquest of all the free world to establish an Islamic caliphate.
However, they refuse to listen. For years they brainwashed their students. Now, these students identify with the ideology of Bin Laden and Nasrallah, the murderous ideology of Yahya Sinwar, and Ali Khamenei. They have turned campuses into outposts of the axis of evil. This madness must end. Because tens of millions, including six million Jews, have already paid a heavy price for the madness of absolute evil. No more. This time, the situation is worse. The madness is not just from the axis of evil. The madness is being aided by the world that was supposed to be free.”
In such a crazy world, there is only one solution for the Zionist nutter: Israel must go crazy. We are reaching the moment of decision because no strike on Hamas or Hezbollah will help without striking Iran, the head of the snake. Now it is Israels turn to go crazy. It must go crazy, not only for its own sake but for the sake of the free world. () This madness will not end if Israel continues to play by the rules, nor if Israel succumbs to the pressure of the free world, which is more concerned with oil prices than the threats to Israel’s survival.
This madness will not end if Israel continues to play by the rules, nor if Israel succumbs to the pressure of the free world, which is more concerned with oil prices than the threats to Israel’s survival. () This absurdity cannot continue. Israel must go crazy. () At the demonstrations supporting the axis of evil, the slogan “By any means necessary” repeatedly appeared, justifying the Hamas massacre. It is time for this to be Israels motto. With or without the U.S., Israel must destroy Irans nuclear facilities. By any means necessary. Because we are dealing with a mad regime. Such a regime must never possess weapons of mass destruction. Because if this regime is not eliminated, if it gains the capability, if it reaches nuclear weapons, it will destroy Israel. It will commit genocide on millions. Oil prices will rise? Let them rise. Our lives are more important. () And even if Israel is alone in the battle, it must act. By any means necessary.”
Clearly, this man has lost his mental balance but so has the whole Zionist state. Mass murder, raping of prisoners, expulsion of a whole people, provoking one war after the other Israel knows no limits of bloodlust. Basically, they think that even if the whole world goes down, we will bomb and attack wherever we like. Nobody can stop us!
However, such madness is not a sign of strength and self-confidence. The Zionists know that their days are numbered. Israel is a settler colonial state based on oppression and expulsion of the Palestinian population. It prolongs its existence by spreading fear and terror throughout the whole Middle East.
But despite all their terrorist methods, their huge military-technological superiority, despite the unlimited supply of U.S. weapons and money Israel has not succeeded in defeating the heroic Palestinian people and the free people of the world. Despite their wealth and influence, they can no longer manipulate public opinion at will. The oppressed in Palestine are rising up against the Zionist monster and more people are following!
And, yes, the Israeli nutter is right: the Israeli Apartheid state has become a pariah in the world, and it is despised by all righteous people. No wonder that we hear such a voice of Zionist desperation!
