Israel fascism

ALASTAIR CROOKE—The National Religious Right is leading the charge for a radical change to the Israeli concept of security; they no longer believe in the classic Ben Gurion paradigm of deterrence – particularly in the wake of 7 October. Nor does the Right believe in reaching any settlement with the Palestinians – and absolutely does not want a bi-national state. In the concept of Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s security theory henceforth must include a continuous war against Palestinians – until they are expelled or eliminated.

G. DOCTOROW—We have no doubt that Washington is the head that wags the Israeli dog, however much John Mearsheimer and a host of other analysts insist that the Israeli Lobby is the force shaping American foreign policy.

However, the main reason for my recommending this program is because Judge Napolitano has put up on screen short videos of the forcible removal of two dissident journalists – Sam Husseini and Max Blumenthal – from Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s farewell press conference, both of them denouncing Blinken for his awful role as enabler of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
