The colonial entity known as Israel slowly came to life in the political halls of the United Kingdom more than a 100 years ago and judging by Zohran Mamdani’s recent New York mayoral primary victory, it appears its slow death will occur in the political halls of the United States. In order for this to occur, Judaism must collect on the huge debts owed to it by global Zionism. The next few years will be Judaism’s great fight for its soul and its prized symbols from Zionism’s blood-thirsty grip.
I know most of you readers are great with your finances and never experienced maxing-out your credit cards or hitting some sort of debt ceiling, but I think something like that might be happening to the great powers of the world. Notable entities around the globe have accrued ruinous amounts of debt that is causing the once strong knees of the nation-state project to buckle.
In the context of the the greatest power of all, the United States, the exhausted credit isn’t merely a financial one. Let’s face it, when the U.S. national debt stands at $36.2 trillion (and counting), getting into more debt isn’t a problem because it’s all funny-money anyway (that explains how American taxpayers were silently duped into paying upwards of $200 million per day (source) to operate the Iron Dome over Israel during the recent 12 day conflict with Iran). On the other hand, the types of debts that will be exhausted are ones that are more intangible, more ephemeral in nature. Of course, I’m referring to America’s maxed-out debts to its own constitution, to global trust in its own institutions, the trust of all the American taxpayers and the list goes on and on.
You can make a similar argument for most other nations in the world, except for the fact that most other nations must be mindful of their financial debts along with their moral and political debts owed to their respective populations and institutions.
Most nations—except for maybe one!
When it comes to the Israeli entity, on the other hand, it’s more complicated to explain. The entity uniquely operates in such a way that it seems to have little or no loss-aversion in its decision-making calculus. Typically, this loss aversion is a behavior control mechanism in a highly secularized world, regardless of whether it is a single person or an entire nation. In a way, people and even nations are forced to not cross certain red lines when it comes to their actions. For example, loss aversion should’ve kicked in a long time ago when non-combatant deaths were climbing high, especially deaths of children and women. At the moment, these deaths (along with deaths of oft-forgotten men) are estimated upward of 100,000 by a recent Haaretz article.
The names of the children under the age of 18 cover 381 pages and amount to 17,121 children, all told. Of the total of 55,202 dead people, 9,126 were women.
…
Researchers think that thousands of people are still buried under the rubble of tens of thousands of buildings in the Strip, and therefore their names do not appear on the lists. Some people were close to the epicenter of explosions and nothing remains of them. Haaretz
Loss aversion naturally kicks in when we are at risk of committing acts that will weigh negatively on our public self image. For example, regardless of which country you come from, you probably understand that purposely bombing tents and homes sheltering countless children is bad for your national image–the citizens of Israel are no different. The use of starvation as a negotiation tactic is also bad on many levels—not to mention, blowing up all universities, hospitals, places of worship, bakeries, homes and government institutions that make up a given society’s social fabric are all negative actions that serve to only tarnish one’s national image.
Some will say, forget about the national image, think more about the image of Judaism. How will such heinous acts reflect on the religion and all its supposed adherents around the globe? What are non-Jewish people supposed to think? While others will say, forget about Judaism, why are western bombs being used to shred little kids? Western tax payers and western institutions can’t possibly allow this crime to occur on their dime? Sadly, at every given opportunity to stop it, the western powers with the ability to stop such atrocities are seen only further fanning the flames of hatred, almost as if they benefit from the death of each child, the dropping of each bomb or launching of each interceptor rocket.
Furthermore, what makes all this “complicated” is that the main perpetrators (i.e. the Israeli citizen army) and their enablers (i.e. the nations who provide the weapons, the technology and the general funding) don’t feel the sting of loss aversion. They are acting as if they have nothing to lose. The citizen soldiers are acting in a way that that their faith is calling on them to kill and pillage or maybe the more they kill and pillage, the better it will be for their self image? It’s difficult to say. It’s all very twisted when you think about it. The enablers behave as if the rest of the world wants to live in a nation-state system that not only condones industrialized death and destruction, but also enables it, lends it bureaucratic and technical support, etc.. This is far from the case.
One way to explain what is happening is to assume that the entity’s negligence toward honoring the laws of loss-aversion isn’t just the Israeli entity’s to bear alone. This complicity is spread over all other nations who lend the entity material support. Once this loss-aversion is shared among all involved parties, it makes the social and moral losses more palatable—and sadly, it makes all the death and destruction more acceptable, in a way normalized.
With all that said, I think it is safe to say that the Israeli entity is like a spoiled and deeply entitled teenager who uses his parent’s credit card at no personal expense to himself. The two parents of this problem child fall into distinct categories: the first category includes all the nations who give the entity its financial, technological, military, moral and institutional backing. Think of the United States, Germany, the Gulf States, corporations, NGOs, the list can go on and on to include everything that makes up a normal liberal democratic society.
The second category is less crowded because it includes two items: continuously accruing debt to the region’s native populations and stolen credit attributed to Judaism.
Credit was willingly extended to the Israeli entity by the first category and I think it’s safe to say that the credit was stolen by the entity from Judaism’s account. I use the word stolen very intentionally, very deliberately. This shameless theft was witnessed by the first category comprising of supposedly self-respecting nation-states but nothing was done to stop it. This theft includes not only the accrued sympathy of the millions who were murdered during World War II’s European Holocaust, but also the theft of every Judaic symbol from the Star of David emblazoned on tanks, jets, missiles and soldier uniforms to the giant bronze Menorah standing outside the Knesset building in Jerusalem. The theft didn’t stop at sympathy of the murdered Jews, nor the tarnishing of precious Judaic symbols, but it expanded rapidly to include more tangible things like destruction and theft of land and homes of native populations across the entire region, the launching of countless wars and perpetual refugee crisis as a result.
All of this stolen credit has been maliciously re-appropriated with the permission of nation-state instutions to serve a singular purpose: to fool the global public at large that a heavily militarized entity is fighting a perpetual war of survival behalf none other than Judaism. Fortunately, this stolen credit and continuously accruing debt is coming due and the debt collectors are finally out there attempting to settle accounts. Moreover, the rampant theft extends to land, homes and a general way of life from generations of native people who have lived not only in Occupied Palestine, but across the entire region in which this colonial entity is allowed to continuously burn and pillage without the usual checks on morality and justice.
The citizens of the western and western-facing nations and shareholders of countless corporations will reluctantly pay the debts extended to the Israeli entity in the first category.
As for the second category of debt collectors that includes Judaism and the native populations, this is more complicated. Who will pick up the tab for all the destruction brought upon the world in the name of Judaism? What about the generations of natives—the “victims of victims”—who were jailed or killed in the name of falsely securing a colonial entity determined to protect its fuzzy borders? Who will pay their debts? One thing is for sure though, the debts incurred must be repaid one way or another.
