The UK’s neo-liberal New Labour regime happily lies in bed together with fascist Tel Aviv.
Snip:
UK prosecutors are colluding with Israeli embassy officials to classify protesters resisting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza as terrorists and to imprison them on heavily politicized grounds, an investigation by The Grayzone journalist Kit Klarenberg showed.
“Documents released by the British government reveal that London has been coordinating with Israeli officials to prosecute protestors associated with activist group Palestine Action for disrupting the operations of Elbit Systems, which manufactures deadly weapons being used in the genocide in Gaza,” Klarenberg wrote.
The documents suggest that Israel has successfully lobbied the UK to abandon well-established legal standards in order to charge activists resisting Israel’s genocide under harsh counter-terror laws.
WANA has been a geopolitical significant region of the world throughout history. Empires had thrown hundreds of thousands of men and committed countless atrocities to secure this region.
The peoples living within WANA are a lot more culturally, religiously, and linguistically similar than most people, including themselves, realize, which means political unity is very possible. And political unity has been achieved in WANA before.
The center of WANA, the place which ties everything together and where the foundations of a global power can be build, is in Palestine.
This is why the imperialists have sunk their teeth in Palestine and will not let go. Once the Zionist entity is no more, Western imperialist hold in their region will lessen. Without Western machinations which foster sectarian divides, these bitter divisions will be erased and similarities will be emphasized over differences. And from similarities comes social and cultural harmony, and from social and cultural harmony comes the natural convergence towards political unity, which will be expressed as a single regional organization, if not a singular state. Using the org/state as an instrument of power, the people of WANA can then rightfully leverage the strategic geography of WANA for their own ends instead of for the ends of outside actors.
That’s a much more detailed (impressively so) description of just what I was alluding to when I mentioned, as one common cause, “Middle East destabilization.”
I long ago became, and remain, convinced that that’s the goal of a great deal of western policy in the region - that the process of undermining and even overthrowing stable governments (Mossadegh in Iran is a near perfect example) is deliberate and intended primarily just to keep the region unstable, since their wealth and cultural connections administered by strong, stable and widely supported governments would be a direct threat to western hegemony.
It’s a conclusion I reached on my own though, and have fleshed out, to the small degree that I have, on my own. I’ve never before seen it expressed in academic terms or in that much detail, so thanks for that.
