  3. I’ve been thinking about this video for the past few hours. It’s very important in understanding Israeli psychology and what they’ve been doing for the past year. Indeed, a few weeks ago an Israeli supporter posted on one of these channels a comment about ‘after 1948 and 1967 what made them dare to try something like Oct 7.’ This mindset, and what’s revealed in this interview with the former Israeli PM explain what’s happening now. The Israeli state is not unlike some plantation owner. One who is vastly outnumbered by the slaves he has living under him, and yet he is able to maintain his safety and dominance. How? They outnumber him, so how is this state of oppression maintained? It’s because he has in the past deeply brutalized enough slaves, that they became convinced that nothing could be done about the situation, and that his domination they live under is imminent, like a law of the universe. The most terrifying thing to the slave master is if there is one defiant person who doesn’t not kneel, does not grovel, basically ‘does not know his place,’ and strikes back. This is terrifying because the one individual’s actions and spirit could catch on, in which case, the charade is over for the slave master. Israel’s ‘campaign’ in Gaza is not at all about the hostages, and it’s not even about the H group. It’s all about asserting total dominance onto the slaves, both local Palestinian and regional Arab. Israel must demonstrate to them that they are still top dog. Accordingly, they lay waste to people, homes and entire city blocks; they dig up graveyards; they make deeply humiliating videos showcasing women’s undergarments; and they probe the backside of prisoners with electrodes; etc. They are really in the position of the evil slave ‘owner,’ staring at the face of a slave revolt. Something inconceivable to him after he’s spent decades convincing these people that there is no alternative to them living under his thumb. That’s what this rampage is all about; not the hostages, not even annexing the territory of Gaza. It’s all about the slave master regaining his chokehold over his slaves. All of the western arms and diplomatic cover, all of the Indian commenters posting emojis, and all of the massacres that the ‘most moral army in the world’ will investigate will be of no help now that the jig is up. The cat has finally gotten out of the bag, the genie has been let out of the bottle, the prisoners broke out of their cells, the slaves got their hands on their own whips, and there is just no going back at this point. We are witnessing, and indeed even a part of, a historical process that is about to overturn decades worth of injustice and evil. All of these protesters we see, all of these people resigning from complicit organizations, even all of the people watching these videos and witnessing the crimes, we are all a part of this process taking place right now.

  4. Two very important moments in this interview: 1. When the former PM says that last year showed to the people that their state was not invincible, and the host says ‘that was the real danger wasn’t it?’ 2. When the former PM talks about despite their propaganda campaign around Sinwar’s demise (including the foolishly leaked video), saying he passed like a mouse and all of that, he was a hero. Both of these comments reveal how this state maintains power through a projected image. They want to project they are strong and not worth challenging, so they brutalize people. This is like a slave master who’s out numbered by his slaves, so projects this sense of power by brutalizing and making an example of any who challenge him. This is really a western way of thinking (look at everything from the Atlantic slave trade, what was don’t to the Native Americans, what happened with Nagasaki, Napalm, etc. This is the historical doctrine of westerners and how they dominate a people. They also use propoganda heavily against both the Arab world and the broader world to define the Palestinians: these people use human shields, these people want to take over the world, these people don’t want peace, these people don’t embrace western values, etc. The only techniques they have are brutality and lies, and they are terrified that the old-school formula is no longer effective. Like some circus trainer who’s been dominating a group of tigers and bears and making them do tricks. One of them but out at the trainer, and the trainer senses that the others will no longer cower under his whip. This terrifies him.

  7. @ But I think it came as a massive surprise. From their perspective, they were the top dog, and the animals knew better than to challenge them. That’s why they are so brutal. It’s not just a group of sadistic people run amuck, it’s actually a deliberate strategy to smother not only any challenge, but even to smother the idea of a challenge. It is as much a psychological approach as it is a physical one. That one comment I read from an Israel supporter a few weeks ago was very telling. Something about how could they even conceive to fight back after what was done to them in 1948 and 1967. It’s like some gangster, mafioso, plantation owner, or circus trainer. They are vastly outnumbered, so they have to act brutally in order to ensure all of their captives don’t ever even think of trying to oppose them. That’s been their whole survival strategy in the Middle East, convince the Palestinians, and even the neighboring Arab states, that there is simply no alternative to them doing what they want. That’s what this ex PM is saying why even Israel and Jordan made peace agreements. Their leadership was convinced that it was truly impossible to do any damage to this tumor in their backyard, so they might as well just accept it and move on. Last year and all of the resistance since then has changed everyone’s perception. They are seeing with their own eyes that the local gangster CAN be challenged, and that he is not invincible, despite all the destruction, all the western support, and all the propaganda campaigns. That’s what terrifies these people. The moment their subjects realized that the projection of invincibility was all an illusion. It’s like a circus trainer recognizing that the tigers he’s been whipping have understood that they have teeth, claws, and the ability to fight back. Whatever analogy you want to make, that’s the point we’re at, and the Israeli government knows it.
