Zionism is an acceptable way to say you are a racist. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 from 1975 needs to be revived. It was "repealed" as a condition for Israel for its participation in the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991. But like anything else Israel promises, it has gone back on this as well.
I wrote this before the International Court of Justice gives its ruling on South Africa v Israel, which I hope will find that there is indeed a genocide happening.
While anything is possible tomorrow, including an ICJ ruling that either dismisses the case or orders a ceasefire, many specialists expect neither. Rather, they seem to believe that the Court will agree to proceed with the case and adopt more generic provisional measures. This would, as noted, be hugely significant. It means that Israel stands legitimately accused of genocide, widely considered the most serious crime on the books, “the crime of crimes.”
The state that claims to be a “Light unto the nations,” that claims to have “the most moral army in the world” because it fights according to the code of “purity of arms,” and that claims to exist so that “Never Again,” will stand accused of intentionally seeking to destroy a group of people on the basis of their identity, and be forced to defend itself. A searchlight unto the nations, determined to do it yet again. Irrespective of the ultimate outcome, it is a stain from which Israel will never recover.
Zionism is racism
