Marwan Bishara: Why Israel hates the Palestinians so much

3 weeks ago | johnmenadue.com | John Menadue |Marwan Bishara

Israels hatred of the Palestinians is shaped and driven by three basic sentiments. The Palestinians have every reason to hate Israel; it is a settler-colonial apartheid state erected on the ruins of their homeland. But why does Israel hate the Palestinians so much? It has sadistically and systematically terrorised, blockaded and imprisoned them after taking control of their lives and livelihoods, denying them fundamental rights and freedomsThe obvious answer may not be the right answer.
Well-run machine: New Hamas leader Sinwar governed Gaza from 2017-2023

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar ran Gaza so well, Benjamin Netanyahu once spoke in his own cabinet in favour of supporting Hamas against the Palestinian Authority, Marwan Bishara reminds us. It’s very important to recall the last six years from 2017 to 2023, until when the October 7 attack happened - for six years Yahya Sinwar was basically the ruler - he governed Gaza. Gaza was a well-run machine.

This Israel has no future in the Middle East

Nov 29, 2023 | weeklycuttingedge.com | Marwan Bishara

Israel’s sadistic war on Gaza, the culmination of a long series of criminal policies, may well prove suicidal in the long term and lead to the demise of the mighty “Jewish State”. Indeed, Israel’s deliberate, industrial-scale murder of the Palestinian people under the pretext of “self-defence” won’t enhance its security or secure its future.

Israel, Gaza, and the mass production of myths for mass media

Nov 22, 2023 | weeklycuttingedge.com | Marwan Bishara

During the recent “March for Israel” in Washington, DC, Al Jazeera interviewed a confident young man from Connecticut about the war in Gaza. Draped in an Israeli flag, Charlie appeared ready to answer any question. He made it clear from the outset that the ongoing war is not “Hamas vs Israel”, but “Hamas vs the whole world”. He said he regrets children’s deaths and prays for innocent lives lost. But he had no doubt about who is responsible for the death of civilians in Gaza.

Israel’s war crimes in Gaza are by design, not default

Nov 15, 2023 | weeklycuttingedge.com | Marwan Bishara

The gruesome scenes of death and destruction in Gaza are a reminder that for Israel, violence is not incidental, accidental or coincidental. It is part and parcel of its colonial DNA. Like the French in Algeria, the Dutch in Indonesia and South Africa, the Belgians in the Congo, the Spaniards in South America and the Europeans in North America, the Zionists have also dehumanised the natives of the land as a precursor to or justification for guilt-free repression and violence.
Farsa američkog mira na Bliskom istoku nakon Gaze

Nov 9, 2023 | balkans.aljazeera.net | Marwan Bishara

Američka bliskoistočna diplomatija i izraelski rat u Pojasu Gaze su dvije strane istog novčića. Napori Washingtona da zaštiti Izrael dok on vrši ratne zločine u Palestini upleli su ga u još jedan rat, koji prijeti da zahvati cijelu regiju. Od kako je izraelska vojska pokrenula krvavi napad na Gazu početkom oktobra, administracija Joea Bidena je rasporedila najbolje mornaričke udarne snage, uključujući dva nosača aviona, na Bliski istok kako bi upozorila kritičare i umirila saveznike.
