It boils my blood that so much human life is lost in the name of a doomed class. Imagine the Zionist Entity somehow survives long enough to eradicate the population of Ghazza, and annexes both Ghazza and the West Bank, and totally eradicates the natives of the West Bank as well. Then, obviously, attacks will continue from the Entity’s neighbors or from other countries in the region, the Palestinian diaspora will continue to organize and fight, and BDS will continue from the rest of the dignified world; the Zionist leadership will obviously respond to this by making more calls for more Lebensraum, and thus the borders of this wretched pseudo-country will continue to swell like a tick, until we finally reach the point where Yank turns on Reb or Limey turns on Kraut, or the contradictions of settler-colonialism otherwise cause the fundamentally unsustainable colonial project to collapse in on itself.
And what then? The natives will be free at last, but how many of their families were wiped from existence? What crushing void, millions of people in size, will make its presence felt throughout the world for centuries afterward? These people, the people of Ghazza, the people of Palestine in general, the people of the Middle East more broadly, they have died because of a settler-colonial bourgeois delusion, an ideology that had to convince itself it was just and sustainable because it could not confront its own pointless grotesque atrocity.
My own hope and prediction is that we are already seeing the collapse of “Israel”, and Palestine will be free long before the total depopulation of Ghazza.
