I saw a YouTube video with Mr Shlaim a few years ago. His story really opened my eyes to the pure evil of Zionism. The countless lives this fascist ideology has destroyed are unforgivable. It must end along with Israel. It has no right to exist. A group of people should not receive special treatment over others. There are plenty of people who have suffered, and they don't receive a state of their own. Humans must live together and accept our differences. When we create division, ignorance and hatred increase, which pushes the possibility of peace further away.
The history of forced displacement of Jews from Iraq, by jews, to Palestinian land couldn't be more revealing. For those who self-define as the chosen elite, Israelis mean but demographics. Far from a nation, Israel is an active power generated through the conflation of state and theology. Zionism represents an elitist pseudo-nationalist entity, a paradoxically ‘secular-chosen-people, capable of sacrificing its own members (diaspora, hostages, soldiers) for its own reinvention of redemption (meaning the power—rather than the right—to stand above the law or judgment, achieve divine impunity over a promised land without recognisable limits... This elite or power forms a complex web of genealogical, technological and intelligence dependencies of the West on Israel that cannot be quickly “uprooted” through governmental law and policy. A shortcut to a God's power that eludes self-sacrifice for the common good; international operations based on lies and assassinations replace endogenous social bonds as the mode of existing. Not so different from any nation-state: given this, it seems far more effective to unrecognise Israel than to recognise Palestine—as Shlaim says, if Palestine should not be a priori recognised before negotiations, the same applies to Israel.
What an amazing and powerful interview. God bless this man Ivi Shlaim and this amazing journalist. Ivi Schlaim is an extraordinary man and his extraordinary work along with his powerful insights and expert knowledge makes him an extremely valuable historian. God bless them both.

Listen with deep thinking to this quietly spoken Professor of Middle Eastern History - it will change your view of the Zionist state of Israel
