EDITOR—”Iran does not need to attack Israel” declares Scott Ritter, arguing that Israel is being consumed by its own fanatical military over-reach and ideological contradictions fuelled by Zionism. Ritter does not see the two-state solution as feasible. The process will be much more gradual, he declares. Israel is the problem. Zionism is the problem. The Israeli people are the problem..they are not worth saving…because they believe in Zionism and the necessity of [enabling] an apartheid state. Thus, for peace and justice to have a chance in the Middle East, Israel [the concept] has to go away. Then perhaps a single state, Palestine, may arise to provide a home to Palestinians, Christians and Jews, to live in peace as the Holy Land was intended to do. “Israel now, due to its irrational policies is a sinking ship that left to its own devices will fail.” Ritter is not alone in his opinions. Other respected observers of the Middle East situation have come to the same conclusion, including prominent Jewish thinkers and activists such as Norman Finkelstein (“Israel is a lunatic state”); Miko Peled (“Israel must be dismantled to have peace in Palestine”), Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, Katia Halper, Glenn Greenwald, etc.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The message is clear: Israelis dying is a terrible tragedy, while Palestinians dying is just the normal way for things to be. An Israeli dying should matter as much to you as your own family or friends dying, while a Palestinian dying should be regarded as a routine and natural event like a drop of rain falling from the sky.
And that’s an important message for westerners to be indoctrinated with. Can you imagine if we all started caring about western bombs being dropped in the Middle East as much as we would care if they were being dropped on our own country, or on a country we’ve been conditioned to sympathize with? All their carefully manufactured consent would crumble, and people would cease allowing the western empire to do what it needs to do to dominate the planet.
