From Holocaust to Hegemony: The False Hero and the Forgotten Truth.
War and genocides can justifiably trigger a reaction in the survivors. When you start exterminating humans like rodents, without any regard for human decency, you inevitably breed radicalized individuals. These individuals form groups, begin pillaging those who had nothing to do with the atrocities committed against them. This is called misplaced anger.
We witnessed this after the Holocaust. The Germans tormented the Jews, murdered them, and banished them from their homeland. So what happened afterward? The Jews banded together and began settling in the Middle East. The poor Palestinians, out of pity, allowed them to stay on their land. And how was that favor returned? They were tortured, displaced from their own territory, pillaged and persecuted.
The Germans were to be blamed for what happened to the Jews. Europe was to be blamed and it still is. But instead of confronting their actual oppressors, the Jews created Zionism, formed alliances with the same European powers, who had oppressed and murdered them and began occupying the Middle East, slowly and strategically.
Since then, the region has been burning. Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Yemenis have been going through hell. Their cries have fallen on deaf ears. Even the so-called Muslim Ummah has failed to unite. Each nation thought the Zionists wouldn’t come for them. But one by one, they did. Each country burned, plundered, and looted, picked apart to make way for someone else’s hegemony.
Look at what happened to Saddam Hussein, with the help of the United States. Saddam committed countless crimes to please his new "friends," but as the saying goes: Being America's enemy is dangerous, but being its friend is fatal. That's exactly what happened to Saddam. He had it coming. The point to focus on is: Israel is following in the footsteps of his "brother" the US.
Remember that bedtime story Jack and the Beanstalk? Jack was painted as a hero who climbed the beanstalk and outsmarted the giant. But what if Jack wasn’t a hero? Let's analyse the story objectively. He broke into the giant’s home, stole his gold, his harp, and the goose that laid golden eggs. The giant hadn’t attacked or provoked him, he merely existed in his own territory. And when the giant tried to hold him accountable, Jack chopped down the beanstalk and killed him. No trial, no justice, no accountability. The worst part? Jack got away with it. He didn’t fight evil, he actually committed it.
We keep seeing this story being replayed, again and again. Imperialist forces get the best of native populations, destroy them, and move on like nothing ever happened, breeding radicalism in the process, all the while refusing to take responsibility for their hubris.
But do they care? Not really. They continue fighting these radicalized individuals, labeling them as terrorists. Yet, when it suits them, they train and support the very same "terrorists" for their own selfish goals. This is what happens when you win through power and manipulation, by convincing the locals you are their friend, when in truth, you are their worst enemy.
And something must be said about the low awareness or low IQ of these locals who keep getting cut by the same knife, over and over again.
As they say: Until the lion learns to write its story, the hunter will always glorify his version of events.
