Everything Changes
Arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Galant usher in a new era in resisting Israel, and set a landmark in the anti-colonial struggle against the West's domination
In a period of history loaded with firsts (like the first ever civilizational-sponsored and televised genocide), the arrest warrants that were finally issued by the ICJ today mark a significant departure from yesterday. No more faint rebukes and meaningful speeches. The international community took concrete action against Israel, naming both its Prime minister and former Secretary of Defence as suspects in heavily documented, horrendous war crimes.
This is a new game and a new era.
Dramatic not only for Israel but for the conflict between the colonizing West and the (mostly formerly) colonized Global South
After decades and centuries of unchecked expansion and domination, we are seeing, for the first time in our lives, humanity speaking in the voice of the oppressed, and not the conceited, patronizing white European overlords of old.
Such a ruling was never given during the Vietnam War, or even the much more recent illegal wars and invasions of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lybia, and at least 100 more countries the US and its Western lackeys invaded and intervened in since WWII.
Do we get how big and serious it is when the West’s absolute darling is being issued such a flickering red card?
This is a historical first of immense importance, and we can be sure that now that the wall of impunity has been cracked, hundreds of other legal proceedings are going to follow. Not only as regards Israel, but in the context of colonialism in general; exploitation, illegal arms sales, theft of resources, and complicity in genocides and massacres. The implications for our culture as a civilization, as a species are incalculable.
There is no impunity for Westen powers anymore, do you get it?
