This came back from Salon as “undeliverable Spam,” per the server. So trying again.--On May 10, 2024, at 8:47 AM, Todd Pierce <todd.e.pierce@icloud.com> wrote:Came across this 2012 article in my internet wanderings, with this question now being answered with the culmination of genocide against Palestinians. Give “credit where credit is due,” to a favorite here, the Princeton educated Conservative who went on to found National Conservative as an ideological front for Israeli Fascist Settlers, Yoram Hazony, and his influential book, “The Jewish State,” as an Israel "Mein Kampf.” Much like the Heritage Foundation has created for the Trump “Restoration” as Project 2025, supported by all the so-called “New Right Restrainers” and “Conservative Non-Interventionists!"Quote, from 2012 article below: "What do Prime Minister Netanyahu and his colleagues intend to do with the Palestinians? For the present, the latter are penned up in walled or barricaded enclosures on what they consider to be their own land, but the whole purpose of Israel’s national policy is to take that land away from them.
"Moreover, left landless in ever-deteriorating conditions -- and in a Greater Israel -- the Palestinians would become apartheid victims robbed of hope. That would be a terrible inconvenience and an international disgrace, as well as an ethnic contradiction, in what Israeli patriots would expect to be seen as a triumphant All-Jewish State, the Israel of the Prophets.
"What can they do with the Palestinians? Force them all out into Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon or Syria (what’s left of it), none of which wants them? In any case, the spectacle of Israel forcing what is left of the millions of Palestinians -- sobbing mothers, children dragging their pitiful possessions, struggling men -- across its borders into foreign countries, at gunpoint or using bulldozers and tanks, would be poor public relations (one might say).”
While simultaneously, and openly, exterminating as many Palestinians as possible to “prod” them to move, like in 1948!
Coincidentally it makes reference to the Maxim gun, which I had thought of earlier yesterday as an appropriate analogy, formatting per the article:"There will not be quite as many of them as there currently are, if they persist in their sporadic and unsuccessful outbursts of resistance, revenge or retaliation, since it is Israel that, like the imperialist powers of the past, has “the Maxim gun, and they have not” - taking the form of F-16s, cluster bombs and nuclear weapons, if necessary. (Provided by their U.S co-belligerents, especially the New Right Trumpite fanatics who denounce Biden for his “weak support” of Israel, and demand ever-more, and, “Faster, Please!)"
