I AM ISRAEL<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never miss a chance to claim victimhood while inflicting violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1947, the United Nations handed me more than half of someone else\u2019s land, a gift I didn\u2019t earn, from colonial powers who didn\u2019t own it. I accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My <\/a>neighbors objected. I called it war, and in the chaos, I began my cleansing. Over 700,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes\u2014some fled, yes, but many were forced out at gunpoint, their villages razed, their names erased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then I planted pine trees over the ruins to hide the memory. Forests where homes once stood. Parks over cemeteries. I made it green so the world wouldn\u2019t see the black underneath. I called it \u201creforestation.\u201d They called it erasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I have never chosen peace only dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1967, I launched a pre-emptive war and seized Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and Sinai. I claimed it was for security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I held onto it for power. I built settlements, one by one, choking Palestinian towns. International law said it was illegal, I ignored it. My map grew. Their freedom shrank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I could have ended the occupation. Many times. But I ALWAYS said NO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2000, at Camp David, I offered a patchwork of disconnected enclaves surrounded by walls, checkpoints, and soldiers. I called it peace. Palestinians walked away. I called them extremists. Then I built a wall, not on my border, but deep in theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I called it security. They called it theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I glorify militarism. I raise children to believe they are chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My textbooks erase Palestine. My soldiers patrol streets with rifles pointed at teenagers. My media justifies bombings. My politicians joke about flattening Gaza. I send airstrikes to refugee camps, schools, and hospitals. Then I say they were human shields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I elected Netanyahu. Again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not once, by mistake, but knowingly, I voted for leaders who vowed to crush the Palestinians, to expand settlements, to NEVER allow a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My ministers speak of \u201cthe Arabs\u201d as a demographic threat. My settlers burn olive trees. My mobs chant \u201cDeath to Arabs.\u201d I call it patriotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I speak of democracy but deny it to millions under my control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rule over millions who cannot vote in the country that controls their lives. I build roads they cannot drive on. I issue permits for them to breathe, to move, to live. I bomb Gaza, then seal it off and say it\u2019s their fault. I say I left Gaza, but I control its air, sea, and borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say they are free…. then I starve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I demand recognition but give none in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I demand that Palestinians accept me as a Jewish state, while refusing to even say the word \u201cNakba.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ignore the homes, lands, and history of those I displaced. I hold their keys in museums, not their hands. I deny the refugees their right to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make laws that call them \u201cabsentees,\u201d even when they\u2019re just over the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I cry antisemitism, when what I fear is truth and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I call any critic a hater. I blur the line between Judaism and Zionism, using one to shield the crimes of the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I weaponize history to excuse apartheid. I manipulate trauma to justify conquest. I say \u201cNever again\u201d but let it happen to others, by my own hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Israel. I will never be secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole world agrees that Israel is not a state, but rather an organized terrorist organization supported by the American government.\"🤏\"\"🙌\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
