1. The Illusion of a ‘Natural’ Israel

• Hook: “Nations are born from history, people, and land—yet Israel was born from a British memo, Western guilt, and relentless violence.”

• Thesis: Israel is a geopolitical construct, not a legitimate state, sustained by the West (especially the U.S.) for imperial control over West Asia.

2. How the West Created Israel

A. British Colonialism (1917-1948)

• Balfour Declaration (1917): Britain promised Zionists a “homeland” in Palestine—despite Palestinians being 90% of the population.

• Mandatory Palestine: British forces crushed Arab revolts (e.g., 1936-39) to pave way for Zionist migration.

B. 1948: Nakba & Western Complicity

• Ethnic Cleansing: Zionist militias (like Haganah) expelled 750,000+ Palestinians (destroying 500+ villages).

• U.S./EU Recognition: Truman recognized Israel 11 minutes after its declaration—rewarding terrorism (e.g., Deir Yassin massacre).

C. Post-1948: The West’s Blank Check

 

• U.S. Funding: Israel receives $3.8 billion/year in military aid (largest cumulative recipient in history).In addition to financial and military aid, the U.S. provides large-scale political support, having used its United Nations Security Council veto power 42 times against resolutions condemning Israel, out of 83 times in which its veto has been used.

• Diplomatic Shield: U.S. vetoes 50+ UN resolutions against Israel (e.g., blocking ceasefires, condemning settlements).

3. Israel’s ‘Borders’ Are a Fiction

• No Defined Borders: Israel refuses to declare borders under its “Basic Law” (to allow endless expansion).

• Settler Colonialism: 700,000+ settlers in the West Bank (violating international law) with U.S./EU funding.

• Greater Israel Plan: Maps in Israeli schools show “Israel” stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean.

4. Israel as a U.S. Military Outpost

• Proxy Wars: Israel attacks U.S. enemies (Syria, Lebanon, Iran proxies) with U.S. weapons.

 

 

 

 

• Tech & Surveillance: Israeli spyware (Pegasus) and drones used globally to repress dissent (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Mexico).

• Testing Ground: U.S. tests weapons (e.g., Iron Dome) in Gaza before selling them worldwide.

5. The ‘Middle East’ Is a Western Invention

• Orientalist Myth: The term “Middle East” was coined by British imperialists to control Asia’s heartland.

• Israel’s True Geography: It’s in West Asia, not the “Middle East”—a term meant to center the West as the “default.”

6. Conclusion: Dismantling the Myth

• “Israel exists not because of ancient ties, but because the West needed a violent watchdog in West Asia. Until we reject this fiction, apartheid and war will continue.”
