Here’s a quote from Historian Ilan Pappe, an ex-Israeli and now passionate defender of Palestinians:
“So, I really think that at this very dark moment what we are experiencing – and it is a dark moment because the elimination of the Palestinians has moved to a new level – is unprecedented. In terms of the discourse employed by Israel, and the intensity and the purpose of the eliminatory policies – there wasn’t such a period in history; this is a new phase of the brutality against the Palestinians…..
But even in this dark moment we should understand that settler colonial projects that disintegrate are always using the worst kind of means to try and save their project….I am not saying this as a wishful thinking, and I am not saying this as a political activist; I am saying this as a scholar of Israel and Palestine with all the confidence of my scholarly qualifications. On the basis of sober professional examination, I am stating that we are witnessing the end of the Zionist project; there’s no doubt about it.
This historical project has come to an end, and it is a violent end – such projects usually collapse violently, and thus, it is a very dangerous moment for the victims of this project, and the victims are always the Palestinians, along with Jews, because Jews are also victims of the Zionism. Thus, the process of collapse is not just a moment of hope, it is also the dawn that will break after the darkness, and it is the light at the end of the tunnel.”
That’s true. Frankly, I don’t consider discrimination against Jewish people antisemitism because many of them are Europeans, not Semitic. Therefore, it’s more accurate to call it anti-Jewish. But, for the sake of argument, since Israelis are known for their antisemitism against Palestinians, I’ll use the term in this context.
Thank you for asking. BDS. Never stop boycotting, speaking up, and taking action whenever you can. We don’t need anything more than to stop funding this genocide. Bankrupt the Epstein class and the rest will fall like dominos.

Few, if any of the ultra-orthodox are Semetic people.

Informative and insightful
So enlightening. Thank you for this article.
Even in the most conservative take..
it is pretty clear that the IDF murdered more Jews on 10/7 than Hamas..
Israel is a depraved land.
It has no future as an apartheid, ethnosupremacist state..
That is pretty much clear to all but the most hardcore of the zionists..
Not to the white supremacist, anti-Semitic christian zionists in Washington!
But can someone do something to save Palestine while we wait for israel to fall?
My thoughts too. Palestine cannot survive much longer. They need the world’s help. Why is it not forthcoming?
It takes so much time. Someone should nuke israel. I would if I could.
