Ex-Israeli Soldier discusses militant Zionism and the dehumanization of the self, which allows for the atrocities that we are seeing on the ground. We also rag on Liberals on this one again. One of my favorite past-times. Thanks to Yuval Manns for coming on. Links below:

Ex-Israeli Soldier Discusses Militant Zionism and Dehumanization: Episode 12 - Yuval Manns

Anti-imperialist, anti-war, and anti-establishment podcast.

News Commentary

Welcome to Colonial Outcasts. This a ceasefire-related episode. It is currently Sunday June 2nd. Things are going to move fast so we’re going to keep it short-ish and jump right in. Elina Xenophontos, regular political analyst calling in from Cyprus, is here with us today. We’re going to talk about the Biden ceasefire proposal, Obama’s passive-voiced endorsement of said proposal, Netanyahu’s seeming rejection of said proposal, and now soft-floated watercolor talk that the Israeli government might actually accept it. 

At 6:30 am Central Daylight Time NBC published that “An aide to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had agreed to the framework for President Joe Biden’s plan to bring an end to the war in Gaza, though he said it was “not a good deal.”

Biden announced Friday that Israel had proposed a three-part plan that would ultimately lead to a complete cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, as well as the release of all hostages who have been held there for the last eight months. It’s “time for this war to end,” Biden said. It wasn’t a plan that Israel proposed, but we’ll get into that. 

Game Over For Netanyahu - Israel Isolated as US Compels Ceasefire

We will be discussing how Israel and the Mossad, excuse me - the Mob-ssad - have been spying on the international criminal court and threatening South African Ministers, but not in a sophisticated spy-agency James Bond villain type way. 

I’d say it was a mob way, like “I’ll make the South African Foreign Minister an offer she can’t refuse.” But according to these articles by the Guardian, Local Call, and +972 - the publications that broke this story - I’d say that Israeli conduct would actually be an insult to the mob. 

The Mob-ssad and Israel's Ham-Fisted Attempt to Coerce the ICC

Late Sunday night Israel carried out an airstrike on a refugee camp in southwest Gaza which has lead to the death of at least 45 Palestinians with at least 3x that in wounded, producing graphic images of non-contained tent fires and literally a decapitated toddler. The tent encampment was set alight - it being designed to house internally displaced Palestinian civilians. This is a developing situation. Israel has claimed responsibility for a strike in this area, which is, based on obvious battle damage assessments - twisted rebar, shattered concrete, splintered metal - the cause of this destruction. The IDF is of course looking in to it. This is separate from an event that happened earlier Sunday - Hamas shooting rockets out of Gaza into central Israel. Eight rockets, reportedly shot out of southern Gaza, East Rafah in a separate location from the camp. Still waiting for confirmation on where those rockets were actually shot from, but it’s a separate incident, at least militarily, from this refugee airstrike. More on that in a bit. The Strike took place in the Tel-Al Sultan Refugee camp in West Rafah. So just to be clear, the Tel-Al Sultan neighborhood is not part of the IDF’s new designated safe-zone, which by now we know doesn’t exist and can’t accommodate all the million plus displaced Palestinians, but this neighborhood also wasn’t on the evacuation list. The area where the strike took place was actually a designated stafezone as of two weeks ago. More on that as well. The IDF says they are aware of a fire that was started because of this strike and several civilians were harmed. The incident is under review. They assert that the targets of this strike were two senior Hamas commanders responsible for organizing resistance efforts in west bank. Also we’ll get into that because it makes no sense that West Bank operations would be coordinated through Gaza as opposed to Jordan or Syria. So that’s dumb on a very profound level. Hamas says they hold the US president and administration fully responsible for this massacre, the PA accuses the Israelis of deliberately targeting the tents. Israel will investigate, the US will say they’re waiting for the results of that investigation and that all civilian deaths are bad. Also, The Knesset is set to vote to designate Unwrap as a terrorist organization, and Egyptian and Israeli forces exchanged gunfire at the Rafah border crossing. One person is killed. 

Israel Strikes Refugee Camp in Rafah and Prepares to Designate UNRWA a Terrorist Organization


In this new episode of Colonial Outcasts we to map out, and draw connections in a very basic way between two conflicts (Gaza/Ukraine) and a potential armed flashpoint (Taiwan), because, as people have begun to realize since October 7th, it’s all connected, man. Not in a conspiracy sort of way, but in a very run-of-the-mill Imperialist way - the most basic definition of which is the wikipedia one, which for our purposes is more than acceptable. 

Imperialism is the practice, theory or attitude of maintaining or extending power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power. Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more or less formal empire. Think of Hard power as military force and proxy wars, and soft power as diplomatic and economic pressure like treaties, sanctions etc. 

So, the US/Europe is fighting a proxy war in Ukraine in order to weaken Russia, which has spectacularly backfired. We are funding a disastrous campaign of genocide in Gaza which is Isolating both Israel and by extension the United States from the international community, and now the US is stoking tensions with China over Taiwan, which could turn into a military flashpoint. 

We are seeing an Empire in decline. It seems like US politicians still believe that America has the same staying power and power projection that we had in the early 90’s. But the working class is being depleted, rising levels of non-living wages and poverty are pervasive. We can’t afford another conflict, but the question is - can the American People people be deceived into fighting another war?

Project Gaza 2035, The War in Ukraine, and Taiwan: The West vs. The Rest


The ICC is a Western institution that has often been used to advance Western foreign policy objectives, such as the issuing of an arrest warrant against the President of Russia, premised on unsubstantiated and limited evidence.

The impact of such a decision is thus politically emblematic as a Western institution, after 7 months of a genocide and the most gruesome war we have seen this century, has been coerced to issue arrest warrants against a key Western ally.

The arrest warrant does three things:

1) It is a futile attempt to salvage the declining reputation of the Western "international rules-based order."

2) Undermines the current Israeli establishment.

3) Exhibits the mounting tensions between Israel and the U.S.

The fact that an arrest warrant has now been issued against senior Israeli officials, alongside the ongoing ICJ trial, places all the more pressure on the U.S and its unwavering support for Israel.

It further highlights the U.S's desire to get rid of Netanyahu and as such, to revamp Israel's image by placing a new "moderate" political regime in power.
