Me-tiThe big, big force that is asserting itself now via Israel and the U.S. and some other Western countries, like the U.K., Germany, is the continuation and the rejuvenation and the digital reconfiguration of Western colonial, imperialistic militarism. This has been going on since the 15th century. The Europeans have gone out and carried out conquests and holocausts and genocide all over the world, killing millions and millions of people. And this is the latest configuration in the digital age. And Israel is spearheading this with the U.S. in the Middle East.
And the people in the region, the ordinary people, have protested this steadily for the last century and are unable to do anything about it, because none of the countries in the Arab region, not a single one in the Arab region, has practiced true sovereignty, credible sovereignty. In other words, they can make decisions for their own well-being on their own. They have to get permission from Israel or the U.S. or Turkey or Iran or Saudi Arabia, or somebody outside their country has to approve what they want to do. And therefore, they’re powerless, and the people are powerless. And the combination of powerless people and powerless governments has given rise to these nonstate armed movements, like Hezbollah, Hamas, Ansar Allah and many others, and has led to massive immigration, outmigration of the finest young minds across the region. And so, this is the terrible situation that the populations of these countries face, and they just can’t do anything about it.

By Attacking Iran, U.S. & Israel Seek Unchallenged Supremacy in Middle East: Rami Khouri
Rami Khouri, Palestinian American journalist and distinguished public policy fellow at the American University of Beirut, speaks with Democracy Now! about the historical context of Western colonialism in the Middle East amid the war against Iran. Khouri says the U.S.-Israeli attack is the latest act “causing people across the world to look at the idea of … Western liberal democratic tradition as a hoax.”
