\u00a0<\/span>Why does the West insist on supporting Israel?<\/h3>\n

Hussein Majdoubi-Moroccan<\/h3>\n

Translated from Arabic by Ibrahim Ebeid. August 6.2024<\/h3>\n

More than 300 days after the outbreak of the Gaza war, many wonder why Israel continues its genocidal war against the Palestinians. Why does the West remain silent and even justify these crimes? The answer may be in the mutual interest between the two parties, which is a long-term interest with historical geopolitical roots and future extension. Thus, the Gaza war has completed its tenth month, and the belief at the beginning was that this war would last only a few weeks and that Israel would not dare to kill and assassinate more than four or five thousand Palestinians. However, the weeks became months and could extend to more than a year. The percentage of martyrs among Palestinians exceeded forty thousand, at a rate of 40 Palestinians for every Israeli who died on October 7 October in the “Al-Aqsa flood.” This war has turned into a crime against humanity with the blessing of some Western countries that provide Israel with weapons and international legal protection. Accordingly, Why does Israel keep killing? The quick and ready answer, repeated by some analysts, which is revenge against Hamas and its final elimination in the Gaza Strip, is an interpretation of an objective reality. Its validity cannot be denied, especially the danger posed by Hamas to the Israeli dream in return for the truce position committed by the Palestinian Authority. The practice of Israel remains the harshest levels of violence, murder, and destruction, which made heads of state such as Brazilian Lula da Silva compare this to Nazism. Is its pursuit of a goal that has long-term implications: the need to reduce the percentage of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. The British magazine “Lancet” had considered in a report, which did not receive sufficient media attention, that the death rate is staggering. In connection with this, during the beginning of July, according to government sources in Gaza, the official death toll since the start of the Israeli offensive reached 37,396, now exceeding forty thousand. Israel wants a limited regional war that poses no existential threat to it and aims to return the West and the United States to the Middle East as a major rather than a secondary point. But the Lancet magazine noted that this figure does not reflect the thousands of people buried under the rubble nor the myriad of deaths caused by the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s food, healthcare, and sanitation distribution systems. Israel has focused on killing children and young people, killing future families because killing a child and a young person means preventing the establishment of a family in the future. The killing in this war goes beyond revenge to the desire to reduce the proportion of Palestinians, which Israel achieves by killing outright. At the same time, the destruction of infrastructure, including sewage and hospitals, and the obstruction of the entry of foodstuffs is yet another act of terrorism that will affect the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians. The current and future danger that Israel suffers from is the decline in the birth rate among Jews, as opposed to its increase in the number of Palestinians. Therefore, it treats the so-called “human bomb” about the breeding of Palestinians with the war bomb, i.e., destruction. Another goal of the entity is that Israel is very concerned about the change in the agenda of the United States and the West as a whole, which is to pay more attention to the Pacific region than the Middle East because the weight of the military and economic world shifts to this region, due to China’s rising power and coordination with Russia. Thus, despite some opinions and analyses stating Israel’s desire to contain the conflict and not cause the war to expand into a region, this view remains unaware of Israel’s profound objective. Israel wants a limited regional war that poses no existential threat to it and aims to return the West and the United States to the Middle East as a major rather than secondary point in the West’s agenda. It is enough that most European countries and the United States have dramatically increased their military presence in the Middle East since the “Al-Aqsa flood” and will continue for many years, as happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. This brings us to speak of a real NATO presence in this world region. What about the West’s goal? Suppose the United States turns to the Pacific to try to contain China. In that case, it cannot compromise geopolitically in the Middle East because of its religious character and then because of its wealth, which China depends on. At the same time, the West does not want any Arab and Islamic unity but instead wants Arabs and Muslims to remain divided, fears the emergence of a democratic and liberal political and economic class imbued with its Islamic and Arab culture, and wants to play a role that restores pride and dignity to its nations. Among the main ideas underlying the theory of the “clash of civilizations” of the American thinker Samuel Huntington is the fear of the emergence of a political and economic class saturated with Islamic nationalist and religious thought in the future because it will end up confronting the West. This scenario is happening now in Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Iran and may move to the Arab world in the future to replace normalization. Therefore, if the West turns to the Pacific, Israel will be left as a nail in the Middle East to disrupt any unity of the culturally and ethnically diverse peoples living in the Arab world, which extends from North Africa and the Middle East. The West does not want to have a unified Islamic belt in its south, on the one hand, to ensure the stability of its southern borders, and on the other hand, so that this Islamic belt does not ally with China in the future. The application of such perceptions is subject to time accumulation at the extended level. Therefore, all decisions of Israel and the West are historically rooted from a geopolitical perspective. As soon as the Arab world was decolonized after being divided according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement that it has suffered so far, Israel emerged to create problems for decades in favor of the West so that its southern borders would remain without a source of danger to it. r<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
