Like most conservatives the pipeline to becoming anti – Zionist goes like this. You first admire Israel for their strong borders and nationalistic instinct. And then you realize that they want the opposite for every other nation. They must eradicate everyone else’s sovereignty because they have the inherent belief that every other nation is an enemy. It’s not enough to have the state of Israel – no, they instead aim to genocide every single Palestinian… And when they are done there, they are coming for the rest of us.
I’ve seen many claims about how the October 7th attacks on Israel are the worst genocide on Earth. This argument is mainly from people on the Israeli payroll and from those that coincidently ignore the thousands of Palestinian children murdered every week. However, my primary distaste for Israel in this conflict is that they were warned from the Egyptian and United States governments that the October 7th attacks were going to happen and still let it occur.
They then have refused any major deal to release the Israeli hostages and instead killed the ones attempting to flee their Palestinian captors. This includes murdering shirtless and unarmed hostages that were waving a white flag. It’s because none of this conflict is actually about the October 7th attacks or the captured hostages: instead it’s actually about exterminating the entire population and completely taking over Palestine. They have admitted as much and rejected any idea of a Palestinian state.
Since the initial attacks, Israel has since attacked Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and both the Palestinian Gaza Strip and the West Bank. America and the UK have already been pulled into this conflict to target Yemen and will likely expand further assaults across the Middle East. Israel and most of the West have openly announced Iran and a number of other countries are on their hit list. None of this is a secret; these people are publically frothing at the mouth to start World War III.
The one saving grace in this conflict is that most of the citizens in the West are completely opposed to being drawn into another pointless war. After decades of irrational wars in the Middle East, people are openly calling Israel an enemy state. They are asking why we were constantly lectured to about the Ukrainian conflict for two years, and yet the establishment completely ignores the ongoing atrocities done by Israeli war criminals.
With barely any support from the Western populations the establishment must now fight their own wars. They will use any and all forms of military technology and economic support, but will be limited to expanding this war without ground troops willing to fight and die for this cause. Consider they sacrifice the remaining troops in this Middle Eastern conflict, than they will not be able to replenish their forces. They will additionally become weaker in the local regions and many external and internal groups will take advantage of this fact to erode the existing power structures.
