Israel can do anything.
It can occupy Palestinian lands, assassinate civilians, possess atomic bombs, build walls separating people, bomb other countries, ignore the UN...
Those who govern Israel consider themselves above good and evil. They believe they are always right in everything they do, they do not accept criticism from anyone, and they have convinced themselves that they have carte blanche to do whatever they want in the territories they illegally occupy and anywhere in the world. Israel is a formal democracy for Jews and a dictatorship for Arabs, whether Muslim or not.
Israeli leaders always justify their actions by saying that their country is threatened and they must fight for survival against their enemies at all costs. In that respect, they are right. But they are well aware that the threat they face today is primarily due to their occupation, and violent occupation, of Palestinian territories.
Withdrawing from Palestinian lands through an agreement is the first step towards peace, but the Israelis show no sign of intending to do so. On the contrary, they are always looking for a pretext not to make peace. They know they can always count on the support of those who govern the United States, who are subservient to the powerful Jewish economic power in the country and to the geopolitical interests of the great power.
Americans, the global right wing, and those who consider Arabs and Muslims to be inherently belligerent and dangerous peoples, justify all the absurdities committed by Israelis. They claim that Israel suffers terrorist attacks, which is true and must be condemned. But they don't care about the terrorist acts institutionally carried out by Israel in the occupied territories, and illegally in other countries. There is a double standard: one side can, the other cannot.
Violence begets violence. There is extremism on both sides, Palestinian and Israeli, and in the case of Israel, the extremism begins in a government taken over by insane radicals. And so peace, with the coexistence of two sovereign states, becomes more distant each day.
Therefore, with the support of the United States, Israel "can" do what other countries cannot:
- To militarily occupy lands that do not belong to them.
- To forcibly colonize these occupied territories, displacing residents and demolishing houses.
- To prohibit the free movement of Palestinians within their own territory and in Israel.
- Bombing occupied territory, under the pretext of killing terrorists, but also murdering innocent people, women and children.
- Keeping Palestinians imprisoned in inhumane conditions.
- Ignoring all resolutions from the UN and other international bodies that condemn the occupation and call for withdrawal.
- To build a wall separating what it considers its territory from Palestinian lands.
- To assassinate Iranian scientists, political opponents, and other foreign citizens who bother him, anywhere in the world.
- To possess a secret nuclear arsenal, estimated at at least 120 bombs (there may be many more), safe from any inspection by the UN and its nuclear agency.
- To bomb and threaten to bomb other countries under the pretext of preventing them from acquiring nuclear bombs.
German poet Günther Grass, a Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, is absolutely right when he says that the atomic power of Israel jeopardizes the already fragile world peace by threatening to bomb Iran. There are already nine countries with nuclear weapons, and it's not good for anyone to have another. It would be better if everyone renounced the bombs, which is far from happening. But the bombing of Iran by Israel, with the direct or veiled support of the United States, because it is suspected that the Iranians are building the bomb, is the worst solution, and unacceptable. It is typical of a domineering and belligerent country that does as it pleases.
