POWER AND OPPRESSION
A True Narrative
By Tasneem Yousuf
The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is escalating, impacting the Middle East and beyond. It’s crucial to understand not only the origins but also the anticipated outcomes zionism seeks amidst this unfolding catastrophe.
Historically, Israel’s foundations trace back to the Zionist movement, which sought to establish a racially and religiously defined state. Initially, discussions among zionism considered various locations for a Jewish state, like Cyprus, Madagascar, Uganda, or Argentina. However, they eventually focused on historic Palestine, claiming indigenous status despite opposition and resorting to violent means. Orthodox Jewish rabbis argue that this pivot to Palestine was strategic, asserting that Zionism and the State of Israel lack authentic Jewish roots. They contend that some individuals use financial incentives to gain recognition as Jews.
Orthodox Jews believe that Jewish rights to any land, including Palestine, are contingent upon the arrival of the Messiah as per the Torah and God’s will. Power And Oppression They emphasize that such rights are not inherent until that time. Rabbi Elhanan Beck, a member of Neturei Karta (an active religious group of Haredi Jews), said in a recent interview with Middle East Eye,
“If you come into our community of hundreds and thousands, you will not see a single Israeli flag, and this is the same for all over the world.”
The Zionist movement, backed by Western political endorsements like the Balfour Declaration, overcame significant opposition to establish Israel. zionism leader Theodor Herzl led intellectual and political efforts, while the Rothschild family provided crucial financial support for its creation. Despite its origins in socialist ideals, the resulting state acquired the characteristics of a colonial enterprise.
According to Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian in his book ’10 Myths About Israel’,
“Many beliefs surrounding Zionism—including its innocence, democracy, moral military conduct, peace proposals, right to occupy Palestinian land, respect for Palestinian rights, freedom of expression, and political practices—are sustained through effective propaganda campaigns aimed at garnering global sympathy.”
In an old video available on YouTube, Netanyahu was caught saying:
In 2017, Netanyahu suggested dismantling the UNRWA and merging it with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), accusing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) of “perpetuating the Palestinian refugee problem” by allowing refugee status to be inherited, disregarding United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 194 and Security Council Resolution 237, which outline principles for a final settlement and the return of Palestinian refugees. Additionally, Resolutions 3236, 3237, and 3379 from the 1970s, address Palestinian self-determination, observer status at the UN, and “Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination”.
The proposed dismantling of the UNRWA would, according to critics, extinguish Israeli-Palestinian Conflict hopes of returning to their homeland. Also, despite the ICJ’s ruling on February 16, Israel continues to commit what is described as genocide through unlawful killings and systematic military attacks, allegedly ignoring international law and labeling the ICJ with antisemitism while the US fully backs it. Biden has expressed strong support for Zionism, stating,
“The US will continue to provide military assistance to Israel until they get rid of Hamas, but we have to be careful—they have to be careful. The whole world’s public opinion can shift overnight.”
He also very proudly recalled his years back statement,
“I don’t believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist.”
Furthermore, according to a March fact sheet issued by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Israel received 69% of its military aid from the U.S. in the 2019–2023 period.
AIPAC!!! The American Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC, has long been regarded as one of the most powerful advocacy groups in Washington. Their goal is to support candidates who are pro-Israel and oppose those they feel are too critical.
Let alone the whole political structure, only Biden’s government holds many powerful and impactful seats for Zionists like Anthony Blinken (Secretary of State), Janet Yellen (Treasury Secretary), Wendy Sherman (Deputy Secretary of State), Anne Neuberger (National Security Agency Cyber Security Director), Alejandro Mayorkas (Secretary of Homeland Security), Rachel Levine (Deputy Health Secretary), David Cohen (CIA Deputy Director), Merrick Garland (Attorney General), Avril Haines (Director of National Intelligence), Eric Lander (Office of Science and Technology Policy Director), and Ronald Klain (Chief of Staff).
Additionally, the October 7th attack by Hamas and Israel’s ongoing oppression in Gaza have further intensified AIPAC’s political activities, involvement, and funding in the 2024 US elections. In a fresh interview with host Tucker Carlson, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie stated that
Every Republican member of Congress has an “AIPAC babysitter.”
According to the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”:
“We have already established our men in all important positions.”
Supporting this argument are companies like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street that hold control over critical sectors like energy, food, and healthcare through their dominance in finance. These firms also hold major shares in defense companies supporting Israel, such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing Company, and Google/Alphabet Inc., which aids in the mass surveillance of Palestinians in Gaza under Project Nimbus.
In a book by Xaviant Haze, “The Suppressed History Of American Banking” published in 2016, he argues how the Rothschilds provoked the Civil War and facilitated Lincoln’s assassination to dismantle his independent monetary system, leading to the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank. This caused high unemployment and an economic downturn, securing their financial control over the U.S.
Now, coming to Mileikowsky (later changed to Netanyahu after immigrating to Palestine to sound more Middle Eastern Jewish), his Likud party’s mandate is. The original 1977 party platform clearly stated that
“Between the Sea and Jordan, there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”
However, the 1999 Likud Party platform took a step ahead and emphasized the right of settlement along with the claim of the Jordan River as the permanent eastern border to Israel. It also claims the whole of Jerusalem as belonging to Israel.
The Zionist movement, backed by Western political endorsements like the Balfour Declaration, played a pivotal role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by overcoming significant opposition to establish Israel. Theodor Herzl led intellectual and political efforts, while the Rothschild family provided crucial financial support for its creation. Despite its origins in socialist ideals, the resulting state acquired the characteristics of a colonial enterprise, further complicating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Liberal Zionists remain silent on these matters, unable to fully support these religious demands, as Zionists have historically used religion as a facade to achieve their goal of a New World Order.
