Ethno-supremacy getting its ass kicked was not supposed to be part of the plan

A salvo of Iranian missiles, heading for Israel

Just days into one of the most consequential conflicts in generations,Israel and its supporters in the West are receiving a harsh lesson as to the folly of believing that the world is underpinned by a hierarchy of human worth.

Iranian ballistic missiles smashing into Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa et al. has taught them the exact opposite — namely that the harbouring of ‘master race’ or ‘chosen people’ beliefs is a recipe for disaster when confronted by reality.

Make no mistake about it, the psychological blow to the adherents of this failing colonial project will have far-reaching consequences, going forward. Their little ethno-supremacist utopia was and has been built on top of the bones of an indigenous people, and getting a taste of their own medicine was never in the script. Zionism is an ideology which places an emphasis on killing not on being killed in turn. Netanyahu has led them into the abyss, which is exactly where those who justify the mass murder of children in the name of Western so-called values deserve to be.

The names of those who throughout history have resisted the beast of white supremacy are legendary: Tupac Amaru, Nat Turner, John Brown, Fredrick Douglass, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Patrice Lumummba, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Bobby Sands, Yahya Sinwar — each of them well understood the meaning of the African proverb: ‘Until lions have their own historians, tales of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.’

Israel is losing and Iran is winning.

But this, let us be clear, is not a parlour game. There are and will always be grievous human consequences when the proponents of war and killing achieve power. In this regard, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is merely the latest in a long and infamous line of same.

Netanyahu is Polish. His original last name is Milejkowski. His right to live in Palestine was informed by the gun not by history, and never by the bible. He is the monstrous product of might is right. His story is that of the state he currently leads. It is the story of barbarism presented to the world as progress.

It is the story of death itself.

End.
