Prime Minister Netanyahu Of Israel Has Worked Hard To Create A New Tragic Meaning For The Acronym MAGA: Make Antisemitism Great Again
Issue Insight
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of the State of Israel (2022- , 2009-2021, 1996-1999) has since 7 October 2023 deconstructed MAGA from “Make America Great Again” and reconstructed MAGA into “Make Antisemitism Great Again”.
He has accomplished this by decisions (commercial, economic, financial, and political) made operational by his government impacting the 2.3 million residents of Gaza, West Bank, and Occupied Territories; and by orders to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) which have for more than eight months engaged in the same style of destruction throughout Gaza last viewed during the twentieth century when inflicted throughout Europe and Northern Africa by the Wehrmacht (1935-1945) throughout World War II.
Unhelpful further is the choice of costumes by Prime Minister Netanyahu and members of his government: Black shirts, black pants, black belts, black shoes… Radiating darkness, evil, no mercy. Reminiscent of Karl Diebitsch (artist) and Walter Heck (graphic designer) and their infamous efforts with Hugo Boss from 1932 to 1945 dressing the armed forces of Germany and the notable Fascist costume of choice by followers of Benito Mussolini in Italy during World War II.
Not surprising how since 7 October 2023 youths throughout the world have developed and then embraced a perspective about happenings in Gaza, particularly how the Biden-Harris Administration (2021- ) manages its “ironclad” support to the State of Israel- where United States-sourced and manufactured weapons inflict significant damage in Gaza; and how the most recent Netanyahu Administration (2022- ) calculates approvingly that on 7 October 2023 approximately 1,200 citizens/residents of the State of Israel were murdered by members of the Hamas organization and affiliates, so the proportional acceptable response is approximately 38,000 Palestinians dead and approximately 84,000 wounded. Basically, 38 to 1.
There are constituencies in the State of Israel who believe the more Palestinians dead, the better for the prospects of the State of Israel. There are constituencies supporting the Hamas organization who believe the more Palestinians dead, the better for the prospects of the Hamas organization.
Other than Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Republic of Turkiye (2014- ), no other head of state or head of government of a Muslim nation has more publicly and repeatedly condemned decisions by the government of the State of Israel and then taken decisions that are harmful to the economy of Turkiye- to make a point about supporting the citizens and residents of Gaza.
How can any sane Muslim or Arab support providing any funding whatsoever to reconstruct Gaza when the government of the State of Israel has destroyed Gaza? Why should United States taxpayers borrow funds to pay for what the IDF destroyed in Gaza? Lunacy.
If the government of the Russian Federation must pay to reconstruct Ukraine, why is the State of Israel excused from its obligation- particularly when it has nearing US$200 billion in foreign reserves and reconstructing Gaza is estimated to cost approximately US$18.5 billion?
