I'm an Italian with Mediterranean look and while abroad in the past I have been mistaken both for an Arab and an Israeli.
On one side, while listening to your post, it came to my mind a report I saw on my country's public tv approximately 20 ago in Hebron.
There were these two young settlers, tall and fair-skinned, carrying machine-guns and talking with American accent , and they were mocking the tv crew of the "spaghetti-eaters", in their words. I imagine in their mind the term is derogative, anyway what hit me was their attitude of arrogance and sense of superiority , which was beyond the words they said.
But on the other side, in the nineties, while travelling , I met a good amount of young Israelis who were touring after the military service, and those who expressed hate and contempt towards the Arabs were mainly the Arab Jews, not the Ashkenazis.
Inter-group hatred and visceral hostility towards other group members is an inheritance all humans possess from our biology. Other animals show similar tendencies, chimps for example (but much less so the bonobos). We all know that social-pressure and the will to conform to what is acceptable around us is a very potent force. I would say only a minority of individuals show natural resistance to doing evil such as this. Sadly mob-mentality is a human thing, and Jews have no special tools to avoid biological forces.
That said, Israel is NOT normal because - as was expressed here so candidly and courageously - there is an external pressure on Jews to be nudged towards those natural feelings over many decades. This is the abnormality of "Israel" to take a psychological built-in tendency and USE it as a centre of NEW national identity. This artificial, synthetic, nation-building around a biological "weakness" human have is what makes "Israel" into a fraud. It is a fraud because every child can feel intuitively that this is some sneaky, exploitative, action that is not meant to be. And certainly not something a sane person would like to present to the next generation - a horrible future their children and grandchildren will have to go through.
This is why "israel" is suspicious of being artificially generated for a purpose (which makes the project into a fraudulent one).
It is therefore my view that religious texts (such as Talmud) have very little to do with this. Not only we are talking about general human psychology, but early zionism is totally made up of secular Jews who knew nothing of the talmud and actually they despised the religion (both as an idea and also as a practice). Not to mention that Christian support to the genocidal acts has nothing to do with talmud. I am not trying to paint those texts in good light (I myself know very little about them as a non-religious person) but it just seems a very weak proposition even if it is there as an option. These historical texts contain many strands of religious interpretations and many of them differ and even contradictory. Please also remember that Zionist rabbis are on the payroll of the "state" so they would make everything "Israel" does look like it is coming from Jewish texts - which is obviously silly thing to assume. This is the very thing they are employed to do... to defraud.
I maintain the whole thing is an elaborate fraud that got messier as the years of criminality went on and on. Very sad and unbelievably tragic. Hats off to Alon for the openness and guts to say it as it is, just thought the bigger picture should be mentioned.
Perfectly laid out, and I agree with this virtually to the letter. This is why I dedicate almost no time to the supposed uniqueness of Jewishness of Jews. Yhe explanation is not there
"And the children too"?!? I'm trying to think of what other culture would have had its citizens saying something like that. The original Nazis, of course. Frontier Amerikans in the 1700s and 1800s when referring to the native tribes. Probably the Hutus in 1990s Rwanda when they were talking about Tutsis. Turks chasing Armenians out of their collapsing empire? Tamerlane's hordes about basically anyone they encountered...
OK, I had better stop thinking, because it's too depressing, what that says about humanity. We're a crap species, when you look at it. Only, we were supposed to have gotten better as a result of the Enlightenment and the bad example set by the Nazi Holocaust. Our noble self-regard seems like an advertising con job.
Can a society survive when it has that much soul-sickness, to be able to say "and the children too"? Will it collapse into Masada-like suicidal self-elimination when they realise how hideous they have become? I'd like to think so, but I reckon that's me being optimistic. I never read anything about heaps of Hutus necking themselves out of guilt, and the Turks seemed to stumble on through the 1920s with no sense of shame. It wasn't until the Allied armies crushed the Nazi regime in 1945 that the Germans recognised that they were the Murder Race, not the Master one. Can you envision any way that such a thing could happen to the Zionist regime? Will they ever look at themselves in a mirror and see monsters looking back?
It ia unsustainable anyway you look at it and I think that yea, the burden of shame and fear will lead to more insanity and miscalculation. It can't be normal and it can't go on without unnatural amounts of aupport. Not susrainable, and I believe the end is nearer than many imagine
You are my brother. To any decent human being on this earth you are their brother too. It will take some effort to extract humanity from the slope it has slipped down. May the power exist to do that, and I think it exists. I'm not sure what it will look like but I know that if it is not found, that we all no chance. It will be found.
Jesus was against the Pharisees who ruled and abused the Jewish people for the Romans. Kapos they were.
Don't forget Herod, the fake Arab convert marrying a Jew and served the Romans abusing the Jewish population, stealing Jewish Galilean land through tax collecting Kapos, leaving those Jews destitute.
'The Jews' didn't kill Jesus. The Pharisees maneuvered the Romans to do it. They continue to abuse Jews, and others, as today's Talmud rabbis.
Not all are bad, but, much of Judaism and Islam are very sick.
And let's not forget to add evangelical end times Christianity to.
It is difficult to ignore the links to European/western ideologies and treatment of the conquered world.
After all, Zionism evolved in those parts from people from who are issued from Ruhr valley rather than Palestine. Israel was, indeed, made with Western interest and investment, and "their" vantage point in the East. But no one says they should go back to Poland, Germany, etc. Trump's words sound good until the realization that native tribes were systematically cleansed. As happened in New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Africa, Central and South America. The settler colonial mentality, with its aberrant nature and psychopathy, has flourished in Israel.
Yet the IOF never leave home without them. If every sniper targeting journalists has to fear being shot, and every criminal IOF soldier knew that his actions would not go unanswered, there would be many more living innocents today. As long as gangs and cops and soldiers have guns, the people must be armed in self defense. If was not the gun that committed the crime in Miami, it was the Zionist. Millions of Americans walk around armed every day, it is a fundamental right upheld by our constitution, yet you don't hear about it because they didn't shoot anyone. I support the human right to self defense, just as I do to life, liberty, and property, because the other rights are meaningless if you are helpless to defend them.
It is insane, as you say. I’ll add that something else this legitimizes is that it’s all in their head. Their own fear of Arabs / Muslims. How the father / son immediately jumped to posting ‘Death to Arabs’ assuming the shooter targeted them for being Jews. Each party thought all this with no Muslim present.
You speak of the fear taught while young and contempt you felt from others by being / looking Arab. I appreciate it.
What I felt as a Muslim child was contempt due to the (false) idea that our faith and people hated Jews. Our struggle has been of justice. But that lens was not available for an entire people of the globe until this latest genocide. That is insane. And we lived and carried that.
Alon, this is just crazy unbelievable toxic disgusting. I hate Zionism so much, so I guess I hate Israel. Which the west will gaslight me that I'm antisemitic but if genocide is considered Jewish to them, that says more about them than me.
stephen Harper, Canadian zionist prime minister extraordinaire, razed a Palestinian village and built “canada park” over the ruins PROUDLY with money raised by synagogues preaching hate in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal. All. WITHOUT COMMENT OR CHARGES OF HATE CRIMES .
I’ve understood in the last 16. months just how soaked in zionist complicity canada is. but it is logical extension of how we are raised to understand first nations people and what we did to them. white supremacy dressed up as good and. normal🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I speak about the stealing of Canada's sovereignty by the Red Sea Pedestrians to everyone that doesn't want to listen. Especially the Federal Green Party, who have not rescinded their virtue signalling, supporting the Holocau$t without question, and cancelling my membership before I could!
That's so gross. AIPAC is on every college campus in America, and every college allows this shit, preaching Zionism and trying to recruit for IOF. It totally makes me enraged. I'm now 100% Fuck Israel. Zionism is Nazism. They do not deserve their own state. Expel those AshkeNAZI freaks back to eastern europe.
Fascinating analysis and observations based on someone who has lived the Israel experience directly. Definitely you must talk about the gun culture in America because its features have commonalities with the Israeli military/macho/fear-of-others, etc., culture. I recommend checking on professors Noam Chomsky’s and Richard Wolf’s analysis on the subject and how this crazy gun culture is directly connected with the inherent violent system that is capitalism.
Awesome Alon. By the way, this was posted just yesterday by ProPublica after I read your article. A perfect “coincidence” and in line with what the professors are pointing out to: the business of death. Quite in line with the Zionist project.
Said shooter was “radicalized”…nothing to see here, move along. Same thing they said about the New Orleans driver…never heard anything else about him. Or the Tesla truck bomber. Red flag events. I thought the story would be that he was so traumatized by all the antisemitism in the USA that he stopped, got out of his vehicle and fired 17x at strangers. Still trying to figure out why he thought they were Palestinians. And why the headline read that he mistook 2 Israeli tourists for Palestinians - I mean, if they had been, would they have justified it??? Wth.

Thank you for this breakdown and for sharing your unique view into this as an Arab Jew.
You are my brother. To any decent human being on this earth you are their brother too. It will take some effort to extract humanity from the slope it has slipped down.

"Gun Culture" is the problem?
Tell that to the Brits getting knifed.
The Germans getting run over with cars.
The Swedes with what, a bombing a day.
How about "Tribal Racist Religion" on both sides.
And "The PEOPLE" who do it!
It is difficult to ignore the links to European/western ideologies and treatment of the conquered world.

I'm so sorry. Alon. It happened to my son 25 years ago who didn't look Palestinian until he got out of swimming andcwrapped a towel around his head.
Guns are not the problem. How I wish every adult in Gaza were armed. So many innocent lies ves could have been saved
Fighter jets beat guns
Yet the IOF never leave home without them. If every sniper targeting journalists has to fear being shot, and every criminal IOF soldier knew that his actions would not go unanswered, there would be many more living innocents today.

Most of the teachings are rooted in Talmud
I can't add a single word to your perfect message. Thank god or my own obstinance, today I recognize the truth in full with 0 reservations
It is such a blessing to shed hate programming. Your voice is valuable to others, but the biggest blessing is your own peace of mind / heart.
Alon, this is just crazy unbelievable toxic disgusting. I hate Zionism so much, so I guess I hate Israel. Which the west will gaslight me that I'm antisemitic but if genocide is considered Jewish to them, that says more about them than me.
#FreePalestineFromTheRiverToTheSea
#EndTheOccupations
Antisemitic = Anti-genocide
It’s ok to hate Israel! And it’s supporters while you’re at it.
I hate their behaviour to the ends of self-expression.
They just do not have to behave this way.
I am with you 100%.
Very important words
Thank you

You have no idea how much your rage and diagust over this soothes the heart. Thank you, I love you for being this strong
That's so gross. AIPAC is on every college campus in America, and every college allows this shit, preaching Zionism and trying to recruit for IOF. It totally makes me enraged.

Only then will there be peace. ✌️

Story barely made a blip on national news. They are working hard to bury it.
Yup. It's already like it never happened
Said shooter was “radicalized”…nothing to see here, move along. Same thing they said about the New Orleans driver…never heard anything else about him. Or the Tesla truck bomber. Red flag events.
