oatmealQuoting Avi Shlaim [2025] on #Zionism’s self-destruction: Israel’s collapse due to internal contradictions (e.g., societal cleavages, external isolation) and the unsustainability of #apartheid / #genocide, though the process will take years, he acknowledges.
[…] "I believe that apartheid in the 21st century is not sustainable in the long term and therefore, that Zionism is in the process of destroying itself. Empires become really violent just as they are in decline, and I think this is what we're witnessing now—the last gasp of Israeli violence."
On genocide: "This is the first genocide which is livestreamed... The Israelis are outspoken about genocide."
On Western complicity: "Britain and America are not just complicit in Israeli war crimes, but active partners assisting Israel in its genocidal campaign."
On the future: "The choice is between one state with equal rights for all its citizens or the status quo: apartheid, ethnocracy, and genocide."
