Israel rejects the two-state solution because it claims that a sovereign state of Palestine would profoundly endanger Israel’s national security. In fact, it is the lack of a two-state solution that endangers Israel. Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, its continuing apartheid rule over millions of Palestinians, and its extreme violence to defend that rule, all put Israel’s survival in jeopardy, as Israel faces dire threats from global diplomatic isolation and the ongoing war, including the war’s massive economic, social, and financial costs.

For those with eyes to see – the Israeli inflicted genocide that Israel is trying to hide

We need to once and for all dispose of the West and the East as a clash of civilizations. Militaries and militias should not have to race to eliminate either side. They should instead realize that their fate is as intertwined as their past, and that only dialogue can solve conflict.

“The needs of people in Lebanon who’ve been injured, traumatised and displaced, in fear of what the future might hold for them, are already huge. No other solution other than a ceasefire can alleviate the crisis they are facing,” Ayoub said.

Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, famously said: “Our future does not depend on what the gentiles will say, but on what the Jews will do.” His argument was that the Jewish people could no longer be dependent on others as they had been for 2,000 years. Instead they were independent, self-reliant and creators of their own destiny.

What did Al Jazeera’s investigation into Israeli war crimes in Gaza reveal?

In Gaza and Lebanon, Israel is projecting its force while burrowing itself deeper into a quagmire. While it may achieve brief operational successes, it fails to extinguish the spirit of the resistance or coerce it into submission.

Israel’s forever war and what comes next

What is even more striking is that by 2065, 49 percent of Israelis under the age of 15 will be ultra-orthodox Jews. In other words, by the time Israel as a nation is more than 100 years old, its essentially secular and Zionist character will be fundamentally altered, given that the typical ultra-orthodox Jew has views and values that are at odds with other Jews. Thus, members of the Haredim community overwhelmingly support the application of religious laws (Halakha) as a way of governing Israel, believe in gender segregation, prohibits membership of women in political parties, practices strict dress codes for men and men, abhors the notion of women singing in public and would like cessation of commercial activities during the Jewish Sabbath (which fall on Saturdays). There is, according to one survey, hardly any interaction between Haredi Jews and others. More importantly, ultra-orthodox Jews have historically opposed Zionism as ‘religious heresy’.

The Reason Netanyahu and Putin Both Want a Trump Victory

According to DFAT, since signing the MOU with Israel on defence manufacture in 2017, Australia has exported $16 million worth of military related equipment to Israel. Around $3.28 million of that has been on the Federal Labor Government’s watch since coming to power in May 2022, with another $1.57 million of military material exported to Israel in February this year.

If the Albanese Government is genuine in calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and a two-state solution, it needs to re-evaluate those connections between the two countries that may hinder these objectives and apply sanctions. These include halting the weapons trade, support for illegal settlements and reviewing dual citizenship for those serving in the IDF.

Australia is much more than a bit player in relations with Israel, as a closer examination of the extensive connections between the two countries illustrates. These links go under the radar of the general public most of the time.

Western journalists claim to report the news objectively and fairly. If they really did, this is what coverage of Netanyahu’s assassination might look like…

Is this how western media would report Netanyahu’s killing by Hezbollah?
