Yossi Schwartz ISL (RCIT section in Israel/Occupied Palestine), 13.05.2025
One year ago, I stated that Israel has around 10 years to survive. I relied on the laws of dialectics, in particular the laws of negation of the negation and the change from qualitative to qualitative. No doubt, at that time, such a prediction sounded like a delusion. Today, you have to be the village idiot not to realize that the isolation of Israel is growing daily. During the Biden administration, it seemed that the United States gave Israel unlimited support for the genocide of the Gazans. Netanyahu and his supporters were sure that Trump would support Israel even more than the Biden administration. But we read in Al Jazeera:
“Massive blow to Netanyahu’: Trump leaves out Israel in captive deal praise
The US president thanking Qatar and Egypt for their role in the planned release of Edan Alexander – but making no mention of Israel – is a “massive blow to Netanyahu”, according to Ori Goldberg, an Israeli commentator on political affairs.
“Trump is basically saying to Netanyahu, ‘I’ve done this, this is my duty, now you’re on your own’,” Goldberg told Al Jazeera. “Israel is much fairer game than they were two days ago for every international inquiry and agency seeking to enforce international law.” While the families of the captives “don’t have much sway” over the Israeli prime minister, Goldberg said the political pressure Trump is applying is significant.
“The detachment of Israeli interests from American interests is an earthquake. Trump is signaling the rest of the world that Israel is cut off from the herd, and that Israel stands alone and is responsible for its actions.” [i]
Our main thesis is that the Israelis will be safe when they will change the Zionist outlook and, together with the Palestinians, will form one democratic state that will include the refugees. This change will occur when Israel receives a shock or because of the Arab revolution.
For one democratic state, including the refugees!
