Israel, Palestine And The Politics Of Distraction | Peter Beinart | TMR

Peter Beinart of Jewish Currents joins Sam and Emma to discuss the recent events in Israel and Palestinian territories. Officials in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government often express a desire to weaken Israel’s Supreme Court, citing limitations on their ability to punish Palestinians. Palestinian perspectives, however, interpret these policies as part of a larger strategy involving mass expulsion. In March, anti-occupation activist Fadi Quran expressed concerns about another Nakba, referring to the expulsion of Palestinians at Israel’s birth. A poll showed that 65% of Palestinians viewed Israel’s “long run aspiration” as extending its borders and expelling Arab citizens. While such a prospect may seem unthinkable in mainstream American discourse, Palestinian fears of expulsion are rooted in history and are not unfounded. The current government's radicalism, combined with escalating violence, raises concerns about a potential surge in Palestinian expulsion, prompting the question of what actions American officials would take to prevent it.

The Political Zionist’s job is to stoke Holocaust level existential fears into Jews, so that that they keep donating to Israel and make “Aaliyah” because it’s only in the state of Israel where Jews can feel “truly safe” and thrive and antisemitism will no longer exist.

I could fix the Israel-Palestine problem in very short order. It is as he says. Treat the Palestinians fairly, give them back the land that has been stolen from them since 67, give them a voice in their country, and be respectful. Equality is all any group of people want. The hatred would melt away in a generation but then that's never been an attractive solution to a fascist fundamentalist

    There's a difference between mass murder and uprising. There were military targets they could have destroyed, different ways they could have treated the people in the kibbutz and the festival, etc. What they did to the PEOPLE was immoral, and that's the point. Their invasion/uprising was moral, what they did in that invasion/uprising was immoral. TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME. Anyone willing to justify atrocities in one case is willing to justify them in others, as long as the "right" people do it for the "right" reasons...and most people believe that they're the good guys doing the good thing because they're told so by their media and support networks. Israel's government does the same thing that you're doing, and it's just as wrong. This conflict WILL NOT be resolved in any way besides genocide or ethnic cleansing if only Israel and Palestinians are the ones working it out. Palestinains NEED international support, and the more they commit atrocities the easier it is for Israel's propagandists around the world to sell the narrative of being the good guys who "have the right to defend ourselves." You may not like it, but you don't NEED to like it. You just need to accept that MOST PEOPLE see mass slaughter as immoral, and that the Palestinian people need the rest of the world on their side WITHOUT EASY QUALIFIERS like "but I condemn Hamas because they murdered civilians. Do you condemn Hamas?" so that there is enough pressure on the US to stop supporting Israel...and to shut down the Israeli weapons program that uses Gaza as its testing grounds. They don't have to be "perfect victims," but doing atrocities only hurts their position by giving the people opposed to their existence more ammunition.

    That's about right. Except the good ole boys wearing hoods could be replaced with the Israeli military acting as police force and settlers, some US citizens, acting as though the Palestinians are "natives" or "undesirables" in the Old West, taking property/land because they're"better." Just look at the fact that they have ridiculous political imprisonment laws, holding uncharged individuals indefinitely. Also, they incarcerate kids in regular prisons. As bad as policing is here, for the Palestinians, it's at least as bad.

I am much more comfortable calling for land to be placed under First Nations' jurisdiction. I have a greater emotional understanding of the Land Back movement. These horrors have pushed me away from apathy and towards vocal support for undoing "Manifest Destiny". This isn't positive, or to my credit. I should have been here all along.

    16:45 What America and the Latin American countries did to native populations was wrong. Yes it is in the past and the populations and cultures were different. Israel is removing people from homes that are built on land with property titles and based on Western style laws of property. Part of the dispossession of Native Americans was the difference in an understanding of property. This is why Israel does so much to destroy property records. None of this is right and I am in no way excusing America’s past, but the scale is different even if we are comparing past to present day civilized values.

    The Zionists don't care. They see the Palestinians as less than human. To the Zionist mindset, the indigenous Arab population is an inconvenient impedence to be removed, just as the European colonial settlers removed the Native populations in countries such as Australia and the United States. The main goal of these colonial-settler societies is to do away with the natives at any cost.

    1. The problem is not what strategy to take to achieve peace with the Palestinians - the problem is what strategy to take with Israel who seeks an ethnic cleansing of that region. Palestinians aren't the problem, it's the Israelis - it's not Islamic militancy which is merely reactionary, it is Zionism which is proactive and the source of the conflict. 2. It's not just an identity relationship between the U.S. and Israel - it's also a policy one. Israel is an American outpost in the Middle-East. The difference between Israel and other Middle-East allies, is that the Israeli public supports the U.S. whereas the Middle-East public sees the U.S. as the Hegemonic power who has installed puppet governments to control the people and wealth. Thus, the U.S. sees Israel as their greatest ally in the Middle-East.

    45:30 I think Sam was trying to allude to the contribution of different religious/erhnic/immigrant sections in Israeli society to the rise of the fascist right. Which Beinart seemed to have not really wanted to touch on. Few universal truths in demographic statistics in Israel: 1. Mizrahi/Sephardic Jews (who comprise about 60% full of partial ancestry of Israeli population) are highly right wing and nationalistic. Whether they'd be religious, secular or traditions-observant. 2. Ex-Soviet Jews (15% of population) are largely secular but tend to be heavily nationalistic. Yet are liberal on social contentious issues like Shabbat observance/ Rabbinate monopoly on civil unions. 3. Ethiopian Jews (2% of population) tend to almost universally be nationalistic and Likud supporters. 4. Then you get religious zionists (10%) (mostly Ashkenazi, but some Mizrahi and mizrahi/ashkenazi mixed) are at the forefront of the settler project, and the delusional dreams of claiming the whole land of Israel. 5. An offshoot of them are the Haredi zionist (like Ben Gvir). They're a small extreme minority. Largely made up of settlers, but get strong support among working class non-fully religious Mizrahi youth. 6. Ultra-Orthodox Jews (10% of population). Largely Ashkenazi, who are usually disengaged from some state contribution like military service and are isolated in terms of official education. Mostly neutral towards the "Zionist" state, yet aligned with the right wing politically for opportunistic reasons. A subset of Sephardic Haredi Jews exist (1/3 of total Haredim) they're more engaged with the state and workforce and harbor much more right wing Zionist tendencies. 7. General "secular population". (40% of population). Can comprise of mostly secular Ashkenazi, some Ashkenazi-Mizrahi mixed, and some Mizrahi. Who are on the spectrum between central-right, central, and left-wing zionists. Usually liberal on civic matters. Don't like Netanyahu. But are definitely buying into much of the war-effort propaganda during this war. (Which does normalizes fascistic rhetoric, as per the usual dehumanization of Palestinians). But the reason for a slight rise in far-right support is largely due to higher support for far-right party among working class Mizrahi youth. Likud is also comprised of largely mizrahi voters (older more established). While some degree of higher birthrates among Haredis and religious zionists might play a role. But the increased normalization of right wing fascist ideology among general secular sector of society might also affect the changes.
