Israel was built on the foundation of terrorist organizations that played pivotal roles in its early development. Organizations like Irgun were fundamental in the formation of both the government and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Menachem Begin, a terrorist and former leader of Irgun, would later become Prime Minister of Israel. The interference in the land of Palestine, even prior to the Nakba of 1948, was driven by Zionist organizations whose goals were explicit: to seize as much land as possible, and to engage in the ethnic cleansing of the native population. This included not only Palestinians but also Jews who refused to convert to the Zionist ideology.
The British and the United Nations enabled this process by partitioning the region, allocating 55% of the land to the Jewish population, who were a minority at the time, and the remainder to the Arabs. Thus, the foundation of the settler-colonial state known as Israel was laid, built upon a dangerous ideology of superiority rooted in religion—a belief that places the lives of Jews above those of others.
For nearly 80 years, this process of land appropriation and ethnic cleansing has persisted. How many generations have passed under this ongoing occupation? This is why it is plausible that a large percentage of the Israeli population / I believe numbers above 90% could be true/ supports the eradication of Palestine and its people. Eight decades is enough time to deeply alter the psyche of an artificially constructed nation, comprised of immigrants from diverse backgrounds who “became” Israelis.
This is a society where there have been protests not against atrocities themselves, but in defense of the soldiers who commit them. For instance, there was a massive outrage sparked by soldiers being reprimanded for rapping Palestinians in custody, with the protests aimed at defending the perpetrators.
It is difficult to fathom the full extent of the horrors on the ground. Some argue that Zionism is even more dangerous than Fascism or Communism, due to its fusion of political and religious doctrine, making it one of the most perilous movements in modern history. Its targets are not only Arab Muslims and Palestinians but also Christians and anyone else who does not subscribe to the Zionist vision.
This influence extends far beyond the Middle East. It has infiltrated global politics, with U.S. presidents and world leaders showing their allegiance through symbolic acts such as praying at the Western Wall. Meanwhile, Palestinians are being killed every day, often with American-made weapons and the tacit approval of the Western world. This is what happens when Zionism penetrates every level of global institutions and industries, including media, entertainment, and technology.
