Fascists unite!
Just don’t drink the tea…
The Neglected History of the State of Israel
The Revisionist faction of Zionism that ended up triumphing adhered to literal fascist doctrines and traditions.I USE THE WORD “FASCIST” in the literal sense. Do not flinch from it. The founders of Revisionist Zionism certainly didn’t. Respect them enough to take them at their word.
In 1928, a prominent Revisionist named Abba Ahimeir published a series of articles entitled “From the Diary of a Fascist.” They refer to the founder of their movement, Ze’ev Jabotinsky (his adopted first name is Hebrew for “wolf”), as “il duce.” In 1935, his comrade Hen Merhavia wrote that Revisionists were doing what Mussolini did: “establish a nucleus of an exemplary life of morality and purity. Like us, the Italian fascists look back to their historical heritage. We seek to return to the kingdom of the House of David; they want to return to the glory of the Roman Empire.” They even opened a maritime academy in Italy, under Mussolini’s sponsorship, for the navy they hoped to build in their new Israeli state. “[T]he views and the political and social inclinations of the Revisionists,” an Italian magazine reported, “are absolutely in accordance with the fascist doctrine … as our students they will bring the Italian and fascist culture to Palestine.”
Considering how much Netanyahu generally avoids offending Moscow, this is actually kinda interesting in terms of the follow-on effects it might have. I’m pretty confident Russia isn’t going to try to calm the situation. Putin wants the world to be chaotic, especially now. It materially helps his geopolitical goals if his adversaries are distracted by multiple serious matters.
It materially helps his geopolitical goals
Only if you believe what corporate media have told you his goals are. But have you ever wondered how corporate media know what his geopolitical goals really are?
Whatever his goals are, creating more media worthy events helps obfuscation and that’s just basic art of war.
