For some time now, political leaders and media outlets controlled by them—which are almost all of them, and certainly the most widely disseminated—have been trying to convince people that Israel is the bastion of the West and of civilization in the Middle East; that if it weren’t for Israel, the West would have been invaded and annihilated by Muslims eager to bring Islam to its borders; that if it weren’t for the Israeli sacrifice, the West would disappear; that if Israel didn’t exist, or weren’t what it is, and even more so if it didn’t do what it has been doing since its creation, the West would have its days numbered.
In short, Israel is the bastion of Western civilization in the Middle East. This claim emerges with particular force whenever criticism is leveled at both Israel’s very existence and, even more so, its trajectory from its creation to the present day.
This message, this argument, is skillfully crafted, being especially effective in swaying a large portion of the Western population, if not all of it, taking advantage of their fear not only of the Islamic terrorism experienced so far, but also of the obvious relationship between the rise in crime rates in the West and the massive influx of Muslim immigrants, whose integration is proving increasingly difficult, if not impossible, even among second- and third-generation immigrants.
This fear is also undoubtedly heightened by the access of many of them to positions of great political relevance and authority -–government presidencies, mayoralties, police chiefs, etc.–, factors that especially benefit the acceptance of Israel as a Western bastion and a bulwark against the potential Muslim avalanche.
However, nothing could be further from the truth. First of all, if Israel didn’t exist, and even more so if it hadn’t been created, and even more so how it was created and by whom, the Muslim world would have nothing against the West after the decolonization process carried out in the Middle East after World War II.
That this world feels anger toward the West is due precisely and exclusively to the creation, imposed by the allies, especially the United States, of the State of Israel in what was always Palestine, to the West’s staunch defense of Israel in its wars, and to its unconditional support, active or passive, for each and every one of the atrocities that Israel has committed since its creation, to the detriment not only of the Palestinians, its main victims, but also of its neighbors; violations of International Law -it has never complied with any UN resolution that affected it-, of Human Rights -it has been convicted of torture by international and Israeli courts-, and even of Crimes Against Humanity -its Prime Minister and other senior officials currently have an arrest warrant from The Hague Tribunal for genocide-.
Second, if Israel, once its creation was established, had sought understanding instead of confrontation, being consistent not only with the artificiality of its creation, but also respecting and understanding Palestinian suffering and rights, as well as those of its other neighbors—even with difficulties, no doubt—it would have earned, over time, an acceptable and even good coexistence with them, an entente cordiale, as demonstrated by the various agreements signed on different occasions; of course, except with radical groups that were always unruly but that would have eventually withered away, losing support and sympathy for their radicalism and violent methods.
Proof of what we are saying is that little by little, Israel has achieved recognition and agreements with several of the most important countries in the region, if only through their pure diplomatic pragmatism.
Third, perhaps the least known or recognized, is that if Israel had not placed itself at the service of Western interests in the Middle East from the beginning, primarily those of the United States, its neighbors would not have adopted the aggressive attitude they did. Once the colonization of the area was over, the new countries, even despite their considerable virtuality, only wanted to be independent, masters of their own decisions, that is, sovereign, part of the international community with full rights, something natural for any people and nation—especially those that for centuries had been subjected to others, often Western—and free from the pseudo-colonialist interference of which Israel has been the spearhead in the region.
On the contrary, Israel has been since its creation the antithesis of what it should have been: Because there is no justification for its existence, neither historical, nor legal, nor cultural, nor economic, nor spiritual, ergo its creation after the Second World War was due solely and exclusively to the interest and need of the United States, as well as some of its Western allies, to have a foothold in such an important area from every point of view for their expansionist, globalist, and imperialist aspirations in accordance with the declaration of American “manifest destiny,” which has been the norm that has governed its entire foreign policy since its promulgation in the mid-nineteenth century.
This is precisely—and this is important, and one that few know, or many forget—at the same time that Zionism was emerging as an ideology, as a global doctrine of world domination, considering itself the embodiment of the chosen people, giving rise to a symbiosis in time, in methods, and above all, in purposes that has rarely occurred. And for both that declaration and this doctrine, only when they achieve global dominance, that is, not just Western dominance, will the world achieve full and true peace and happiness.
Because since its creation in 1948, everything Israel has done, if we look closely, has been nothing other than behaving as a hitman—yes, a hitman, not a bastion—of American unipolar globalism—and therefore Zionist, two concepts that are actually one and the same—for the domination of the Middle East, in the image and likeness of NATO (created in 1949) for the control of Europe, the Organization of American States (created in 1948) for the same control of all of America, and not to mention the UN (created in 1945) for world domination; not to mention several other political, economic, military, health, cultural, humanitarian, and other organizations, dependent on the aforementioned, heads of the same immense unipolar globalist ivy.
Because today, after decades of wars, always started by Israel with any excuse, except for the first and Yom Kippur, which were defensive, all have followed the same pattern: using an event, however justified or provoked (there are multiple indications of the latter), to deliver a blow, always excessive and disproportionate, to one or more of its neighbors, keeping the Middle East in a permanent state of tension, crisis, and armed confrontation with the aim of neutralizing, controlling, or destroying, depending on the case and the moment, each and every one of its neighbors.
Currently, after 77 years of Israel’s existence, whether through bilateral agreements (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the Emirates, Morocco) or through “Arab Springs” (Tunisia, Libya), Through wars (Iraq), partial invasions (Lebanon), or active collaboration in the fall of their regimes (Syria)—even replacing it with another Islamic regime, but controlled by it—we can affirm that Israel, that is, unipolar North American-Zionist globalism, has managed to eliminate all its rivals in the Middle East; the exception is Iran, which is systematically harassed, leaving it isolated, weak, and in such a difficult position that its Islamic regime now only aspires to fight for its own survival.
Regarding the Palestinians, we already see that the intention was always one, which Israel has never hidden: their extermination, whether through the expansion of settlers appropriating their lands and expelling their legitimate owners, even in violation, as we have said, of International Law, or through physical extermination, as is now happening in Gaza.
Incidentally, this also proves us right: through such a strategy, Russia, which had strong influence in the region, is losing it, if it hasn’t already, so much so that its naval bases in the Mediterranean are hanging by a thread which does not escape the control, even if partial, of Israel.
The fact is that we are witnessing the triumph in the Middle East of this unipolar globalism led by American Zionism, the former considering itself “chosen by God” and the latter believing itself to be the master of a “manifest destiny” that gives them the right, according to them, to dominate the world.
It is clear to us that Israel has never been and never will be a bastion of the West, a retaining wall, a defense, but rather has been and will continue to be a hitman, a lackey, of unipolar globalism in the Middle East. Otherwise, we cannot understand the history of Israel since its creation in 1948, nor its trajectory, nor anything that has happened in the Middle East since after World War II, nor what may happen from now on.
Postscript: The matter, however, will not end there, because in accordance with this “manifest destiny” and its symbiosis with the “chosen people,” Israel aspires to extend its influence beyond the Middle East.
Clear examples are its increasingly close alliance with Morocco, with its sights set on the northern half of Africa, and Milei’s Argentina, with its sights set on its riches, as well as those of Antarctica.
