One of the long-standing propaganda myths manufactured and maintained by Zionists is that their precious genocidal Israeli occupation regime is all-powerful, invincible, a fact of life that can never be altered. In their screeds, as recently by sex pest Sam Kriss, they begin everything from this premise and present it as a natural phenomenon as commonsensical and inevitable as the rising of the sun. Because once this is established, you can now frame everything done by Palestinians in resistance against their precious genocidal regime as fundamentally absurd, asinine, incoherent, even deranged. That’s what that vile scumbag cunt Sam Kriss unfurled over 5000 words: Palestinians who dare resist their occupiers are like moths to a flame, inevitably going to their deaths without accomplishing anything. In fact, he gleefully added, they’re merely the pathetic play-things of the Israelis who want them to do exactly this. They’re too stupid and animalistic to comprehend this basic fact of life, like Sam Kriss the sex pest sitting in his London penthouse suite paid for by his Substack donors does.
This is the propaganda myth that Bari Weiss, Jake Tapper, Hillary Clinton, Ben Shapiro, Keir Starmer, Joe Biden, all regurgitate in their desperate attempt to make their ideological claim an empirical one.
But there is just one problem with this: Reality over the past five months has conclusively shown it to be a myth.
For the first time in the history of the genocidal Israeli occupation regime, its borders have been significantly and systematically reduced. The entire northern area bordering Lebanon and the area bordering Gaza have been depopulated from Israeli settlers, and their Southern sea lanes and border has been cut off from the world, and there is nothing they can do about it. No matter how much they maim, rape and kill, they have been unable to defeat either Hamas, Hezbollah or the Yemeni Houthis as their own borders have been reduced for over 5 months now. And it’s not just a temporary reduction either. The continued existence of the resistance factions in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and its expansion to soon include Syria which will have the same effect on the illegally occupied and annexed Golan Heights, have permanently altered the genocidal Israeli regime’s borders.
Whenever they want to engage in another one of their massacres, as they have done in Gaza repeatedly over the past decade, they now know that their borders will be significantly altered. This is like if the United States or any other country had to pay a cost for waging war against anyone by having their control over significant border areas reduced by an opposing military force. If this were to happen, the United States would no longer be considered a military superpower, but a third-rate power, so feeble that it is incapable of maintaining the inviolability and sovereignty of its own state’s borders. That is exactly the position Israel is now in.
Norman Finkelstein has quoted Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah making exactly this point. He said after October 7 that Israel is like a spider’s web: You only have to blow on it, and it will tear into a million pieces scattering into the wind. I know this makes cunts like Sam Kriss cry because they can no longer have their yearly summer holidays in Tel Aviv being sex pest creeps in a nation full of them, but this is not a normative, ideological, moral, political claim, like their deranged rantings about Palestinians being animalistic monsters incapable of basic rational thought and comprehension, which is merely a figment of their genocidal Zionist imagination—no, this an empirical, factual, descriptive observation of reality.
The Axis of Resistance, ridiculed by Zionists from the pseudo-radical variety to the right-wing conservative, as being inherently weak, futile, incapable of putting even a dent in their precious genocidal regime’s God-like nature, has in fact proven that it is a paper tiger, a spider’s web, despite all its US-funded and provided advanced weaponry and its nuclear arsenal. Not in rhetoric, not in empty talk, not in the capacity and ability to engage in genocidal massacres to instill fear as part of its “Iron Wall” strategy, which Kriss is now regurgitating in a pseudo-radical weepy moralistic tone, “Oh my god, think of the children Hamas and the Axis of Resistance killed by daring to resist occupation!! They didn’t get a say in this! Oh my god, don’t blame the Israelis, blame the animalistic barbarian Palestinians for being so deluded and deranged that they think their occupiers aren’t All-Powerful Gods!!!”
As I noted in my piece on this Zionist sex pest, imagine saying this in any other context. Imagine saying this about the Vietnamese resistance against the US: “The kids the Americans bombed to death didn’t get a choice! The Vietcong just killed them because they’re animalistic deluded idiots incapable of accepting the reality that the US is God-like entity, incapable of being defeated!! The US isn’t responsible for the mass murders and rape and beheading of babies, it’s the resistance! And the Soviets and Chinese who fed their delusions by giving them arms to resist! They’re all to blame.”
By the way, that sex pest is such a disgusting Zionist maniac cunt that he actually repeated the “beheaded babies” propaganda as part of his deranged “Hamas is pure evil sub-human spawns from Hell” list.
But all his weepy pseudo-intellectual Gothic novella prose doesn’t change the fact that his “Iron Wall”, something he imbibed in his early Zionist upbringing and after his rebellious “I’m a Hezbollah tankie” phase in his late teens has now proudly returned to, is in fact but a spider’s web. End everyone in the world can see it with their own eyes. October 7 does not mark the end of the resistance against the genocidal Israel occupation regime, as Kriss and other Zionists desperately want to turn it into by desperately trying to glue together the now shattered propaganda myth of Israel’s invincibility—it marks the beginning of the regime’s end.
How exactly it will end is uncertain. Will it continue to try to maintain its genocidal nature by trying to rebuild the now destroyed “Iron Wall”, as Kriss desperately wants, engaging in more and more massacres over the coming years? That’s possible. In that case its borders will keep shrinking with each massacre. That is the irony of it, something Kriss in his pseudo-intellectual cuntery should appreciate: The more your precious regime tries to restore its mythos of invincibility, the more it will be shattered into ever-smaller pieces. Its borders will keep being reduced further and further, as Hezbollah, Syria, Yemen and Gaza’s military capacities increase.
Again, these are statements of fact, unlike your weepy sentimentalism, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Another possibility, and this would of course be the preferred option as it would most suit the interests of Israelis themselves as well as others in the region, Palestinians foremost, is if the genocidal Israeli regime will be shaken into accepting this reality by its fundamental fragility being exposed. Norman has said as much, noting that only a major defeat inflicted on them can force them into accepting, however begrudgingly, the fact that they are not the super-human Ubermenschen they like to portray themselves as in their propaganda, but are in fact human, all too human, and bleed like everyone, and moreover can’t even maintain their own occupation borders.
It is easy to forget now, but it took the US a long time before it accepted this in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, the French in Algeria, the Apartheid regime in South Africa. It’s a hard thing to accept that you are a genocidal imperialist depraved murderous scumbag. Kriss is wrestling with it to this day, writing his 10.000 word Substack screeds half devoted to weepy whining about his precious Israel not living up to its potential and true virtuous nature, and the other half calling its victims who dare resist it animalistic savages incapable of comprehending their and his own God-like nature. This is very intoxicating, and it fits like a glove into an upper middle class London raised Birth-right going philosophy post-grad’s mind. Imagine being able to perceive yourself as an invincible God who cannot be opposed by the sub-human savages in the region, those dirty Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iranians, Yemenis, with their primitive sticks and stones against my F-16s and Merkava tanks.
But they don’t just have sticks and stones anymore. I know that makes you sad, I know you want them to just lay down and die so you can keep your Master Morality intact (again another reference that the philosophy post-grad will appreciate) and send your own children on all-expenses paid Birthright trips with a guaranteed Tel Aviv apartment waiting for them when they grow up. I know you want that. But you can’t have that. I’m sorry.
And either you and your fellow Zionist genocidal murderous scum will accept that you are not the Gods you love to see yourselves as, and Palestinians are not the animalistic sub-human savages you love to see them as, or you will be made to accept it as they blow on your spider’s web and scatter it into the wind.
Propaganda & Co. have more excellent videos you can watch here.
With all due respect I humbly entreat your consideration ::: cunts aren't scum. We represent all that is sacred in life. The crone is also a term that I, as a 3/4 centenarian woman of the diaspora claim as status. Let's take back the honorifics of the female that the patriarchal state mutilates by design.
ps. your long form is a treasure that stimulates & incites much thought
I think Iran testing a nuke would change things. Part of the problem is Pakistan and if they would be allowed to stabilize Iran wouldn’t need nukes and other regional powers would have acted already. In the event the Israeli state is challenged they would 100% nuke everything around them and Pakistan is the only powerful response they could have. So until another nuclear power appears the Gulf states, in my opinion, will continue to cower under the Gaze of the Israeli/American axis. Even the complete destruction of livelihoods will not get rid of Gazans. The tunnels span for hundreds of miles underneath and any attempt to settle there will be bitterly punished. This scenario I could see Israel becoming capitalist DPRK. But this scenario also shakes out into the “divided world” bucket of choices we currently are barreling towards.
Great article and love reading what you have to say. I’m equally spiteful in my writing and rightfully so.
