Satire for Sanity
The sooner the better, naturally. Reject all things ' Israeli'. That is how decent Americans can hasten the process.
The “Jewish state”, as it defines itself, has committed unimaginable war crimes and has violated countless international laws. And it has managed to get away with all these crimes thanks to unlimited support provided by the colonial West.
Genocide – as so many anticolonial works have documented – is and has always been an intrinsic component of settler colonialism. They are inseparable. And that is the case for settler-colonial Zionism.
One cannot understand the ongoing livestreamed slaughter of the two million people of Gaza and the bragging about it by the majority of Israelis on social media without relating it to that colonial hegemonic ideology.
Since its creation, Israel has systematically pursued the “elimination” of the native. Gaza right now is paying the price for what Israel’s leading fascist historian Benny Morris has argued is the Israeli failure to “transfer” all Palestinians out of Palestine in 1948.
That is because in 1948, Gaza became the largest refugee camp in the world, filled with native Palestinians who refused to be ethnically cleansed and genocided and who have constantly reminded the Israelis of the “unfinished job”. They are now bearing the wrath of genocidal Israel intent on establishing its claim as a fact – that “there is no such thing as Palestinian people”.
But the prosperity of apartheid and settler colonialism is part of history now. A state founded on them cannot survive.
Amid the genocide in Gaza, this may not be as obvious, but let us remember that the downfall of South Africa’s apartheid regime began in the darkest moments of South African history in the late 1980s when everything looked so bleak. At that time, people did not realise that the racist regime was disintegrating and a new dawn was approaching.
Nonetheless, the collapse is proceeding at a steady pace.

Genocide Israel is living in the past
A state founded on apartheid and settler colonialism is no longer viable.
