It is understandable that you perceive that Jews are not threatened at present in the world. This is only partially true. Jews whose origins are in the Middle East have congregated in Israel because they were threatened by the regimes and populations in which they lived. So it is not true that Jews could just return to their countries of origins and everything would be hunky dory. Ask the Jews of France if they feel safe. I think their answer would be ambivalent. The Jews of England feel safe only if they take a vow of antiZionism, otherwise they too feel threatened.
To Americans who have just celebrated their 233rd birthday, 64 years is a major chunk of time. To the Jews who have been around in various forms for thousands of years, the timespan since WWII is just a mere eyeblink of history, so they are not quite as sanguine about the disappearance of antisemitism.
You call it a self fulfilling prophecy, I call it a natural appreciation for the vicissitudes of history.

What the video is trying to convey, and I think this is clear at the end, is that the issue of the systematic and deliberate erasure of the Palestinian culture, hardly disputable, needs to be addressed. It needs to be acknowledged, and yes, needs to be, at least, apologized for. We recently heard apologies from colonial nations, like Australia, for their extermination of the indigenous peoples. But I guess Israel will only do that when Palestinians are like the indigenous peoples of Australia and America and Canada, etc, when they are politically insignificant, wen the apology has no practical consequences. This is probably the single most important failure of Israel; it couldn’t marginalize the indigenous people of Palestine enough. The biggest problems for Israel right now is the EXISTENCE of a large number of Palestinians (and their sympathizers). If somehow Israel manages to make them disappear, Israel will gladly open its archives, Zionist historians will suddenly be enlightened, they will apologize for the whole thing, and they will probably make museums full with full-size 3D models of Palestinian men and women in their traditional clothes.

IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE

“The general rode for sixteen days
The horses were thirsty and tired
On the trail of a renegade chief
One he’d come to admire
The soldiers hid behind the hills
That surrounded the village
And he rode down to warn the chief
They’d come to conquer and pillage

Lay down your arms
Lay down your spear
The chief’s eyes were sad
But showed no sign of fear

(chorus)
It is a good day to die
Oh my children dry your eyes
It is a good day to die

He spoke of the days before the white man came
With his guns and whisky
He told of a time a long time ago
Before what you call history
The general couldn’t believe his words
Nor the look on his face
But he knew these people would rather die
Then have to live in this disgrace

What law have I broken
What wrong have I done
That makes you want to bury me
Upon this trail of blood

(chorus)

We cared for the land and the land cared for us
And that’s the way it’s always been
Never asked for more never asked too much
And now you tell me this is the end

I laid down my weapon
Laid down my bow
Now you want to drive me out
With no place left to go

(chorus)

And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes
We’ve been blessed and we are thankful
Raise your voices to the sky
It is a good day to die.”

So you thought this was all disconnected? That there were just random acts without any coherency or any strategy? To be sure there might be different interests in other regions, but the main goal is all the same – it is a formula that has been used over and over again. Now, you might be saying to yourself – “this guy is a conspiracy theorist.” Don’t get me wrong, what I am talking about is worse than conspiracy, it is systemic (or, in the sense of conspiracy you believe that things just happen? Than you are classically known as stochastic, or you believe that shit just happens with no plans at all).

The logic of both Israel and apartheid-era South Africa can be found in their common origins as settler states. In both cases, the settlers CREATED MYTHS, semi-religious or explicitly religious, including that GOD HAD PROVIDED THE LAND for them and that the land was unoccupied upon arrival, a very, very common theme in every settler state, whether it’s the United States, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. In both cases, the settlers portrayed themselves to be VICTIMS against natives who were described as SEMI-BARBARIC OR INTOLERANT. Given the permanent state of siege, every settler state AGGRESSION came to be DESCRIBED as a DEFENSIVE ACT, an approach also common with the United States. By way of example, for South Africa, incursions into Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe or anywhere else always against alleged TERRORISTS were justified as alleged defensive actions.

HOME SWEET HOME

All settler states are the same, the compare notes – and when one of them gets in trouble a tear comes to the eye of all the others.

Phase 1: Air strikes all day and all night
Phase 2: Rockets hit the Gaza strip with phosphorus
Phase 3: Ground attack how we gonna counteract?

Boycott Divest and Sanction

Israel– you should be ashamed
Kill and maim 1,000′s of civilians in our name
Claim you hitting terrorists but children in your aim
Even murder relief workers blood spilling from they brain
While they tried to drive the ambulance, damn they couldn’t stand a chance
Even bomb students, hospitals, mosques, Rafah, and Khan Yunis
Shot em in the back like the cops to Oscar Grant…
And in each case the good ol’ united states sponsored that
7 million a day that we pay tax and AIPAC’s lobbyists is robbin us
Sometimes it feels like they’re ain’t no stopping this
BUT now nobody can deny it cuz you made it too obvious
Naked truth exposed like the emperor’s clothes
The struggles getting hotter and the temperature rose
Since 1948 when you formed the state
Palestinian people still defending their homes
They aint been surrendering, NO

Boycott Divest and Sanction
Cuz they even bombed the United Nations

Look, i’m Israeli, my government’s so arrogant
War criminals who call Palestinians terrorists
For resisting extinction and occupation
Comparing this to genocide and reservations of Native Americans
Its a massacre! Kick out they ambassadors!
Divest from their apartheid like South Africa
Boycott em like King to Montgomery buses,
Show them we want peace but only with real justice
They murdering the media and witnesses left
We gonna stop shopping at all the businesses that invest
In building they settlements and gentrifying our corners
Illegal walls over there and the US-Mexico border
Build a worldwide movement til the truth is heard
And supporting the Israelis who refuse to serve
All the C.O.s who AWOL when deployed to Iraqi stations
All the people rallying while the cops are chasing
If we enlisted in the system we got an obligation
We ain’t got the patience, time to stop the occupation

Boycott, Divest, and Sanction
Til there’s right of return for displaced and reparations

John Pilger – Obama Is A Corporate Marketing Creation

It is like getting all excited about a fight and then, it becomes like the lyrics to Steve Wynns Boxing Song –

“Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
hard knocks, easy money
took 2 million to take a dive
and Las Vegas paid out eleven to five
Jerry Cooney, Sonny Liston
wasn’t firing on every piston
took five and threw in the towel
and another wrong taken from Valhalla
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
ain’t no mistaking, everybody’s taking a dive
Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin,
the line judge wasn’t all that charming
took 2 million to fall down
and Las Vegas set the word all over town
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
ain’t no mistaking, everybody’s taking a dive
Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
hard knocks, easy money
took 2 million to take a dive
and la la la la la Las Vegas paid a million to five
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down, go down
ain’t no mistaking, everybody’s taking a dive
walking home ah ha ha ha”
