HASSAN NASRALLAH COMPARES U.S. AND ISRAEL ORIGINS

If not for the support of the United States, Israel could not have successfully embarked upon its current rampage in West Asia. The US has supplied Israel with weapons, funding and diplomatic cover at the UN, even as the occupation has k*lled as many as 43,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and as many as an estimated 335,000, according to University of Edinburgh global health chair Devi Sridhar. Public awareness of this contradiction has decimated any semblance of US prestige and morality. But what explains this self-destructive drive to support Israel?

Recently assassinated Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah (1960-2024) laid out the connection between the two states. He said both are the consequence of settler colonialism, which k*lled off, displaced and dispossessed the respective native populations. For the US, land grabs and slavery defined the modern state. Meanwhile, Israel's foundation lies in dispossessing lands from the Palestinians and forcing them into what's been described as a 'concentration camp' known as Gaza or the West Bank, parts of which Israeli settlers have seized over time, preventing freedom of movement among other human rights. For this reason, Nasrallah said Arab groups' lobbying efforts, for example, would fail to achieve desired results as the US aligns more closely with Israel instead. Today, Israel is the United States' largest aircraft carrier, which could never be sunk' in West Asia, as a former US official once said, a tool to keep the region destabilised and under US control.

Let us know what you think about Nasrallah's assessment.
