The Israelis have granted themselves a pause in the execution of the
holocaust of the population of Gaza: a relative one, because they
continue to kill. But there's more: they have finally revealed the
mystery. The ultimate goal of the operation is to extend the territory
of the Jewish state not only to Gaza but also to the West Bank, and to
this end they have passed a specific law that provides for this. Even
Trump's unexpected veto intervened to block the operation, which needs
to be explained. First, we must consider the weakening and divisions
that have arisen within the global Jewish lobby that has always
supported Israel, caused by the genocide carried out in Gaza, by the
horror generated by the massacre, by the methods used such as
starvation, the indiscriminate killing of women and children, the
individual violence of many soldiers against the Gazan population, the
horrific torture of prisoners in Israeli jails, but above all, the
realization that when it was happening, the world had come with the
knowledge, which, disgusted and indignant, had taken to the streets,
raising fears of a resurgence of virulent anti-Semitism. Whatever the
deniers say, what happened was documented by courageous journalists, who
sacrificed their lives to make the world aware of what was happening,
even though Israel took every opportunity to eliminate as many as 247 of
them and conceal the Gazan genocide. While many Jews living in Israel
may view what happened in Gaza as a necessity and a need to satisfy a
desire for revenge, Jews in the diaspora, at least some of the
communities around the world, have seen the genocide of the Gazans as a
reenactment of the methods and tragedy of the Holocaust, which many of
them experienced. Certainly, these are individual defections and
misgivings, but it is a fact that the unanimous support for Israel is
being called into question for the first time. It is easy to understand
what is happening if one simply looks at the positions taken by the
Roman Jewish community, which has distinguished itself for its timidity.
The courageous and individual stances taken by intellectuals, Holocaust
survivors, and ordinary citizens, shocked by the horror of what was
unfolding, are not enough to restore dignity to Judaism, which
increasingly tends to identify with Zionism. The sick fruit of what is
happening is that these behaviors risk providing the basis for the
resurgence of radical anti-Semitism, precisely because of Israel's
identification with Judaism. At least a portion of Israeli society
itself is aware of this, as evidenced by the fact that the most
brilliant and dynamic people, the startup owners who are responsible for
the strength of Israel's economy, are abandoning the country, which is
increasingly Orientalizing and, more seriously, becoming clericalized.
The migration mentioned corresponds to a demographic growth driven by
Orthodox Jewish families who include procreation among their religious
duties, who educate their children in separate and denominational
schools, avoiding the teaching of scientific subjects, and who
increasingly support creationism. They are convinced that Greater Israel
will be born not through force but through numbers, basking in the
strength of demography.
The horror of what was happening prompted many to take to the streets
around the world: spurred by the initiative to break the blockade of
Gaza by the "Global Sumoud Flotilla," public opinion mobilized,
particularly in Italy, to express condemnation of the Israeli
government's actions. The government defended itself by branding these
demonstrations anti-Semitic, when in fact it wasn't anti-Semitism, but
rather a condemnation of Zionism and the policies of the Israeli government.
Israel once again demonstrated its ferocity by attacking the flotilla in
international waters, demonstrating through the treatment of the
kidnapped, taken to prison, and deprived of all comforts and water: a
cruelty that nonetheless suggests the far greater intensity inflicted on
Palestinian prisoners. Those who maintain that the pro-Palestinian
mobilization is tinged with anti-Semitism should remember that Jews,
like the inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank, are also Semitic
peoples, and that the opposition of those demonstrating in the squares
and streets is against the Israeli government and its policies, inspired
by the most vulgar Zionism.
In fact, Zionism is a nationalist, xenophobic, and racist ideology that
upholds the genetic superiority of the Jewish people. It was conceived
and developed in the last century and established thanks to the support
of Britain, which sought to establish a secure base in the Middle East
to ensure the survival of the British Empire. For this reason, Britain,
which held the Protectorate of Palestine, did everything it could to
encourage the emigration of European Jews and beyond, including
Holocaust victims, to the territories currently occupied by the Jewish
state. Once established in the territory, the Zionists fought a fierce
battle to secure the creation of the Jewish state, carrying out attacks
and terrorist acts against the British army, at least as violent as
those carried out by the Palestinians.[1]
Trump, a skilled communicator, sensed the emergence of these positions,
also because he possesses a direct and privileged channel for sounding
out the views of the Jewish community in the United States, through his
son-in-law and business partner, Kushner. Kushner is interested in doing
good business with Arab and Muslim countries and in countering Chinese
interests, since the annexation of the West Bank would be an
indigestible act for his Middle Eastern interlocutors. Believing he had
a strong hand, he forced Netanyahu to stop.
Trump wants to create, through the Abraham Pacts, an economic-political
area that will support the United States, prevent the countries
designated to join it from gradually sliding into the BRICS, and finally
give life to the "Cotton Road" that should serve as an alternative to
the "Silk Road." The implementation of this political-economic project
would also be beneficial to Israel, which is currently experiencing a
serious economic crisis. On the other hand, the Israeli economy has seen
its GDP decline due to the mobilization that has deprived companies of
essential personnel. Looking at wartime operations, the Israelis need
time to perform post-use maintenance on their air force and equip
themselves with more effective defense tools to counter potential
attacks from Iran, which, despite what is said, has achieved significant
missile capability and, during the 13-Day War, identified and struck key
Israeli targets, repeatedly breaching their anti-missile defense systems.
Furthermore, the "Abrahamic Pacts" would not withstand a possible
annexation of the West Bank, which would raise public protests in Arab
and Muslim states, albeit not from their rulers, but from the struggling
populations. This would endanger the governments of those countries, who
would find themselves challenged by domestic public opinion for opposing
it. Furthermore, the "cotton route" is also a great business for Israel,
because it would generate considerable profits by bringing goods from
India and the entire Far East to the port of Haifa, designed as a hub
serving the Mediterranean. Not only would the construction of the
infrastructure bring Israel into the world trade circuits, more so than
it currently is, but it would also represent a significant financial gain.
For Trump, this is too good an opportunity to miss to achieve his goal
of detaching India from the BRICS and bringing it closer to the United
States.
The Chinese Card
This also explains Trump's trip to the East, where the tycoon is
building and consolidating a network of alliances that includes Japan's
rearmament, secured by another woman serving as Prime Minister, who
aspires to emulate the warmongering women currently managing EU policy.
In this case, the danger comes from China, which Trump is meeting with
in the hope of softening its stance and reassuring its concerns. He has
understood that raising tariffs to subdue China is of little use, not
only because the Chinese government responds in kind, but also because
it has the means to blackmail the US with numerous tools, chief among
them the sale of rare earths, which are essential to the development of
the US economy.
It is also said that Trump intends to raise the issue of containing
Russia in the war in Ukraine during his meeting with the Chinese, in
order to persuade them to accept a truce and end the war. It's likely
that for the first time, Trump has a plan: with sanctions against
Russia, which he also demands the Chinese comply with, he plans to
undermine the Russian economy and simultaneously take control of the
global oil market, seizing Venezuelan oil fields either through military
intervention or by financing the activities of the internal opposition,
led by the pacifist Machado.
If one knows anything about China, one might assume that the Chinese
government, which approaches problems from a strategic perspective that
is anything but long-term, is willing to embrace Trump's proposals, even
if Trump is ready to offer support for the colonization of part of
Siberia, currently Russian and largely depopulated. For them, it's not a
matter of upholding the treaties freely agreed with Russia, nor of
China's current dependence on Russia's energy supplies, both in the form
of oil and gas. What's at stake is the strategic partnership between
China and Russia in managing a future Arctic route to Europe, which,
despite its economic and social crisis, represents the largest consumer
area on the planet. Although it's worth asking for how long, whether von
der Leyen and Kallas, including their associates, will continue to
manage its policies for much longer.
The Future of Gaza and the West Bank
A careful reading of Trump's 20 points with which the truce was agreed
upon shows that what has changed is not the plan to turn Gaza into a
riviera for wealthy tourists, but that there's no longer any talk of
evicting the Palestinians, at least for now. However, the project of
Governor-elect Blair, who will have to manage Gaza, is still the same,
and Trump has no doubts that he will be capable of completing the
transition, the displacement operation, and the gradual expulsion of the
Palestinians. This is especially true given that he will find himself
dealing with an undernourished, debilitated population, with many
disabled, with enormous social problems, with broken families, and with
a social life and social stability that is difficult to begin with, with
growing difficulty. Will they be able to remain in Gaza, especially if
it becomes a place for the rich, where it will be increasingly difficult
to live?
In the West Bank, however, even if annexation seems to have been
temporarily shelved due to the superior interests of the United States,
the acquisition will continue, albeit slowly, as will Israeli
infiltration and the illegal installation of new settlements, given that
the Palestinians living there will have no power to oppose the violence
with which the settlers penetrate their territory and acquire it: their
bodies.
Thus, Trump's peace reigns supreme in Palestine.
