Israel Rogue State

2024-02-14 Patrick Lawrence: Crisis at the NYT It has been evident to many of us since the genocide in Gaza began Oct. 7 that Israel risked asking too much of those inclined to take its side. The Zionist state would ask what many people cannot give: It would ask them to surrender their consciences, their idea of moral order, altogether their native decency as it murders, starves and disperses a population of 2.3 million while making their land uninhabitable. The Israelis took this risk and they have lost.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, as American media do not, that the Israel Defense Forces covertly sponsor a social media channel disseminating this degenerate material in the cause of maintaining maximum hatred. It is a psychologically diseased nation that boasts as it inflicts this suffering on The Other that obsesses it. The world is invited — the ultimate in perversity, this — to partake of Israel’s sickness and it said, in a Hague courtroom two weeks ago: “No.”
Post–Gaza, apartheid Israel is unlikely ever to recover what place it enjoyed, merited or otherwise, in the community of nations. It stands among the pariahs now. The Biden regime took this risk, too, and it has also lost. https://consortiumnews.com/2024/02/14/patrick-lawrence-crisis-at-the-nyt/
2024-01-09 4 Reasons Why Israel is a Rogue State An illegal nuclear program. Illegal settlements. Political infiltration. Assassinations and bombings. Israel is a rogue state and should be treated as such, argues BT’s Matt Belen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdB1tdifkf4
2023-12-11 Israel’s Strategic Calamity Its brutal war on Gaza is turning it into a pariah state and risking regional war. A more nebulous yet still serious risk is that Israel’s unending civilian massacre will alienate its allies, above all the U.S. Now, the power of the Israel lobby can be seen in the yawning gap between, on the one hand, Congress and the Biden administration, which have backed Israel almost in lockstep, and on the other the American people, who favor a permanent cease-fire by a 2-to-1 margin.
But Israel’s U.S. government credit may be running out. While the Biden administration has enabled Israeli brutality (to its discredit), it is also plainly and increasingly exasperated at Israel’s utter refusal to even pretend to minimize civilian casualties. On the contrary, +972 Magazine reports that Israeli forces have detailed files and artificial-intelligence data on location of civilians, and have directly targeted “private residences as well as public buildings, infrastructure, and high-rise blocks, which sources say the army defines as ‘power targets’ (‘matarot otzem’).” https://prospect.org/world/2023-12-11-israels-strategic-calamity/
