This is insane: The genocidal Israeli colonial regime continues its rapid descent into even more apocalyptic fascism.
Israel's most influential think tank INSS, affiliated with Tel Aviv University, published this crazy white paper. It was written by the former IDF chief of intelligence, Tamir Hayman.
He declares that "most Arab states are not genuine nation-states", and therefore that "undermining their stability is viewed as a natural process, one that Israel can manage more effectively than it can contend with strong nation-states, and one that it should even encourage".
This is deeply ironic, considering that Israel is a Western settler-colonialist project created in 1948 by European and North American imperialists. It is the case study of a modern colonial political construct that is "not a genuine nation-state".
But that's not even the worst part of the paper.
The top IDF official also explicitly stated that Israel must have more war, and never promote peace.
He wrote, "War is essential to national security and cannot be replaced by a state of peace", arguing that the pursuit of peace "is an _expression_ of weakness".
"War is necessary, and preventive war is preferable", the former IDF intelligence chief concluded, stressing that the "constant presence [of war] is an asset to national security".
