My 5 reasons why Israel will fail

WAYNE KUBLALSINGH

Though the nation of the Jews will survive into perpetuity, the days of the state of Israel in the Middle East are numbered. It is difficult to envision a state of Israel in the Middle East lasting out this century. The method she has chosen to survive in her “promised land” is unsustainable.

Yet so intoxicated are the US, UK, Western Europe and their mainstream media by the shibboleth, the idea of an Israel in the Middle East, in the historical land of milk and honey, they cannot admit to this brutal fact.

One week before Al-Aqsa, the military flooding of Israel by Hamas, Jake Sullivan, national security adviser to US President Biden, praised progress and stability in the Middle East.

Here are five reasons why the state of Israel will not survive in the Middle East into the next century:

MILITARY IMPOSSIBILITY

Israel fights like a lion with its cubs in its mouth. That is, its military frontline is packed with its homes, women, men, children. This is unlike the US, its chief political and military sponsor, which keeps its own people insulated by long-distance wars in the Middle East, Africa, Latin and Central America, North and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe.

Despite its cutting-edge defence and intelligence systems, the AI-driven dome and the Mossad, Israel cannot defend itself against a rocket flood – 5,000 in half a day.

The cost of an Israeli dome defence rocket is about US$40,000. The cost of a homemade Hamas rocket is small change. These Hamas rockets are the equivalent of improvised explosive devices, which the Afghans and Iraqis used to knock the Americans out of their nations.

Israel’s nuclear weapons are useless here. Using such weapons will blast away its own population.

A WRONGED PEOPLE

Israel was led by the US and UK to sack Palestine, confine its people into large refugee camps, control them and punish them for resistance.

In the present war, Israel has laid siege to Gaza.

However, Israel cannot extinguish Gaza or Hamas. The city is a labyrinth. It is tunnelled. That is why the inhabitants outwitted the Mossad, the US and the Israeli military. They were building their munitions in secret enclaves. Furthermore, Israel’s military superiority may not defeat the sheer willpower and restitution of a wronged Palestinian people.

PUPPETS DIE

As in Ukraine, leaders who advance the interests of imperialist nations before that of their own people bring their nations to ruin.

In the case of Ukraine, the US has expanded NATO to the borders of Ukraine and armed its pandering political leadership in order to destabilise Russia.

But puppet masters ultimately act in their own interests, lose influence, wither away. The US is declining economically and increasingly being controlled by non-democratic actors. The more the US declines, the less can she protect her pawns.

FAILED LEADERSHIP

The US has failed Israel. Trump sent his son-in-law Jared Kushner to make peace in the Middle East.

This puerile gent left out the Palestinians. His Abraham Accords is a friendship treaty between Israel and Morocco, the UAE and Bahrain – a Palestinian peace deal without the Palestinians.

The Biden leadership has pursued the same track.

No fair arbiter should choose sides between two mutually victimised peoples.

MYTH OF MOSSAD

The Hamas intifada is a breakout move – a breakout from political and military suffocation by successive US administrations and their Made in America man, Netanyahu. It is a hell or high water move, sophisticated yet daredevil, to reassert Palestinian sovereignty over its own cause.

No matter how many die, no matter the pummelling, this move, exposing the graphic suffering between two victimised peoples, also exposes the myth of Mossad’s and Israel’s impregnability.

Six years ago, I wrote: “Poor leadership has thrust the Israeli people into a no-win game. When the US weakens, cannot support Israel any more, Israelis run the risk of vicious retribution from north, south, east and west. The US would have no choice but to accommodate an Israel, an Amish or Mormon-like Israel, in its midwest, or southwestern desert country.”

Israel will have to find its New Jerusalem in the West.
