Israel is a "state" unlike all other states, as it is primarily the result of a "project" and then the bearer of that project later. It is a state "created" from nothing, as none of its "elements" were available at the beginning of "implementation", so it was necessary to provide everything: land, people, system, army, culture, language, laws... everything.
Because Israel is the result of a special project designed by its owners to be eternal, it is therefore on a never-ending “mission,” and care is taken to constantly “charge” it and provide it with all the reasons for life and “superiority.”
Since it is a state created from nothing, and this in some aspects is an acknowledgment of the greatness of its “Creator,” it carries “mostly genetic” characteristics that make it different from other states; it is a racist, isolationist state before its establishment, not in the context of its subsequent development. Israeli racism is “superiority” and not just difference, and it is a superiority that is given in advance and laden with a lot of sanctity. This superiority is not limited to it as a state, but extends to individuals, as the Israeli is superior to any other human being, not just the Palestinian, but the other has no value, and in some cases does not exist.
The "creation" of Israel in the context of this project and in the way it was done, made it closer to a "robot" than anything else; it wants to be exceptional in its strength, it is forbidden to appear weak, so it goes to "savagery" when it deems it necessary, and this explains the "necessity" of its constant awareness of its existence, it is not satisfied with existence but is constantly confirming and affirming it. And exceptional in its intelligence, and it is indeed so except in the cases in which it bets on the "permanent" stupidity of its enemies.
The "robot" state has zero feelings and zero tolerance, so it has no rights to others, and if it gives something for some reason, then for it those are privileges it grants and not rights it restores.
It is also a country like “fast” food, whose appearance does not reflect its essence, keen on the effectiveness of “marketing” which does not mean the quality of the content, and wants to impose its “love” on others despite its “deadly” content.
She is not satisfied with another opinion and seeks to have others comply with her point of view and narrative and find something natural in her “distinction.” In short, she is not satisfied with anything but the Zionization of the world.
It has been comfortable with the oppression of the Palestinians, and has been unable to find a way for the “happiness” of the Israelis or their “existence” away from the oppression of the Palestinians, which does not concern them at all.
Israel is fully convinced of its exceptionalism, so it bases all its policies and positions on that exceptionalism, and is prepared to do anything to preserve it. This has created a special understanding of time, as it takes from history whatever it wants and ignores whatever it wants. It has its own narrative about the ancient history of Palestine, as it considers the period of the establishment of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, which lasted for eighty years, to be the beginning of the history of Palestine, and it considers what came before and after the establishment of that state to be nothing. There was no one before them and no one after them.
This also happened in their story about the “flood.” The story begins from that day, so they build on the matter “as it requires” as if it were the beginning of the conflict, and they create their story, and others have no choice but to adopt it and believe in it.
It is exceptional in its "unity" (in the pathological sense) and its dealings with others accordingly. It does not want to be a member of the European Union but wants to be treated by it better than its countries. It does not want to be a member of NATO but wants to enjoy privileges above those of its members. Sometimes it wants UN troops but does not want them on its "territory", and it wants to fight wars but outside it. It does not want to be with anyone but wants everyone to be with it or behind it.
The Israeli mind has no respect for anyone. It (Israel) is prepared to attack whomever it wants, even those who provided it with services. It cancels UNRWA, even though it is an international institution established by international resolution. It considers the Secretary-General of the United Nations an undesirable persona, and it attacks UNIFIL in southern Lebanon, and it does not consider itself responsible for any “side effects” that may result from its operations.
Israel acts according to a special "logic" to understand values, and it is not required to consider the "correctness" of its behavior, as it is certainly correct as long as it is its behavior. What it does is good and nothing else. Therefore, it has not conducted a moral evaluation of its operations even once in its history. Rather, all it does is a professional evaluation to draw lessons so that its future operations will be more "effective."
Therefore, Israel is not satisfied with anything less than the “absolute.” It fights for absolute victory, as Netanyahu says, and is not satisfied with anything less than complete faith in its narrative. In fact, it believes that there is no narrative but its narrative. It does not believe in dialogue as long as it believes that the truth (and reason and God) are known through it. The truth is what it does, reason is what it believes in, and God is the “Lord” of Israel.
Therefore, it is the one who has the right to express its opinion about others, not the other way around. It is the one who expels the United Nations (UNRWA) from it, not the other way around. It is the only one who has the right to “defend” itself in the way it wants and to the level it wants. This means that it is not required to get close to others, but rather others are required to “rise” to the understanding of the necessity of getting close to it.
It remains to be added in this regard that what applies to Israel as a state in terms of its racism and "exceptionalism" also applies to the individual Israeli and to anyone who is a candidate to become an Israeli. The Israeli is more important, more advanced, more intelligent, "holier" and more precious than any other human being. Therefore, the right is always on his side, and he has protection, priority, facilities and feelings. He is the one who panics if he hears the sound of an explosion, and others are lying if they express any feelings towards the thousands of bombs falling on their heads.
He is the one who judges others, and others have no right to judge him. He is the one who can defend himself as he wants, just like his country. He is the one who is valued more highly by insurance companies than any other person, otherwise they will be accused of anti-Semitism. This explains the exchange of an Israeli for more than a thousand Palestinians (until recently), and this also explains the state’s “keenness” to “stand” with its citizens wherever they are and whatever they do, as happened with the Israeli rioters in Amsterdam recently.
"The Flood"... A Blow to Exceptions
The "crime" of the flood is that it shook Israel's image, shook its "exceptionality", and returned things to the beginning (the Nakba) after events had almost completely hidden them, and taken them to areas other than those they should have been in. The basic questions of a people whose rights were usurped in broad daylight and whose cries were not recognized by all viewers, and of a project that believed it had finished off its victim, and possessed all the requirements for its survival, returned.
On that day, Israel seemed less intelligent, less superior, less powerful, and more vulnerable. At the same time, its enemies seemed less "stupid" than it thought, and more powerful than it thought.
The pillars of the project were shaken. The state that was created to protect it needed someone to protect it. The state that dealt with it as a resort and a camp, a resort where the "exceptional" spend their time in an atmosphere of purity and "chastity", far from the disgusting "inferior" others, became the place that brought them the most trouble. And a camp that carried out its duties in preserving the "exceptional" and the "project" with complete efficiency, then needed someone to preserve it.
The flood destroyed all the Israeli rules of "exception" and all the pillars of the Zionist project. In hours, this "unique" state in its "intelligence", "strength" and "democracy" returned to being a state like any other state, and the only elements that "distinguish" it from others remained except its brutality and unreasonableness.
This exceptional state, which has always been keen on its exceptional citizen, found itself compromising on his “value” in prisoner exchange negotiations, and it went so far as to “sacrifice” him and even kill him in order to restore its image. It was the state of the Jewish citizen and found itself killing him for the sake of its absurdity.
The flood has nullified Israel's ability to "act." The country that used to boast of being the only democracy in the region has begun to persecute its citizens for opinions on social media, and employees have been fired from their jobs and students from their universities based on their opinions. It has become a capricious state that tolerates nothing and cannot tolerate any opposition or disagreement, even from its own defense minister.
Israel...a growing threat
The current Israeli war on Gaza and Lebanon has left no doubt that Israel is clinging to its “exceptionalism” and unreasonableness to the end. It sees no way to continue doing so except by practicing more unreasonableness, manifested in greater professionalism in killing, committing more massacres and displaying more brutality. Unlike its previous wars, and in an apparent attempt to restore the image of “deterrence,” Israel has made sure that its unreasonableness is clear and in plain sight.
The Israeli "exception" to this type of state does not allow it to think of alternative ways to solve its problems and dilemmas, which only proceed in an ascending line. Therefore, it solves the "dilemma" of occupation with more occupation, the dilemma of committing crimes by committing more of them, and the dilemma of having victims for its attacks by finding more victims.
Unreasonable Israel has shown itself to be a "light" and reckless state that has no sense of responsibility towards the world. In this war, it has multiplied its victims among the Palestinians, Lebanese, Arabs, Muslims and even Israelis, and has "incited" Western governments against their citizens, youth, students and opinion makers, and has insulted the United Nations, its Secretary-General and its institutions, most notably the most important international court.
In addition, it tampered with history, geography, values, logic, customs and everything that is humane. If we add to that, and in the context of the blind "Western" connection to it, it took the United States and Western regimes to the absurd as well, and these in turn took the international organization and the entire world order to the same state. Is it reasonable that the highest UN council responsible for world peace would vote against a ceasefire while massacres and genocide continue to be committed... We are facing an astonishing case of absurdity.
In such a case, who can control the victims' reactions? Who can guarantee the continuation of the situation in which the victim exercises the utmost sanity and self-control, and the perpetrator and his "foreigner" exercise the utmost madness? Perhaps if this situation continues, the doors will open wide towards the unreasonable, and the victims will be convinced that there is no room for reason in dealing with such "criminals". If the perpetrator is prepared to strike his victim with a nuclear weapon, who can guarantee that the victim will not think in a way that is appropriate for that...?
