The strangulation of the two-million-plus population of Gaza is the ultimate expression of the militant Jewish nationalist assertion of control, watched in real-time by the world. I feel sickened writing at this moment.
Today’s siege of Gaza is the latest iteration of a more than century-long effort to instill a controlling fear of, and “respect” for, Jews in the non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine. In the 20th century, the growing Zionist community in Palestine was, in the main, garrisons of settlers alienated from their neighbors, economically, socially, and linguistically. With the creation of the state and the Nakba , those Arabs were simply not missed from Israeli lives.
Jewish night raids of the 1930s and 1940s, Mandate-era terrorism, and 1947-48 Jewish militia and Haganah ethnic cleansing are in a trajectory to today's semi-official Jewish settler rampages against Arab communities in the West Bank – reminiscent of pogroms of old where tsarist officials were complicit with the pogromists – and the mad bombing of the Gaza Strip.
