Arab-Islamic Summit, the OCGFC, & the end of Zionism

Middle Nation · 11 Nov 2023 · 14:12 · YouTube

Well, you know, the Khalejis, the Gulf Arabs, generally, are very patient and proud people, especially the Saudis. I mean, look, the Saudis, they put forward the out of peace plan around twenty years ago or a little over twenty years ago, I think. No one accepted it at that time because at that time, no one was allowed to put forth any plans but The US. No one was allowed to initiate anything back then. But twenty years later, Mohammed bin Salman teases normalization with Israel.

Israel gets excited. The United States gets excited. They start talks. And basically, Mohammed bin Salman pulls out a dusty copy of the old Arab peace plan from a drawer and says, these are my conditions. You remember this?

Maybe now you listen. You know, they just had the summit of the Arab League in the OIC in Riyadh. And at that summit they articulated the unified Arab Muslim position. The position of Russia and China and the position of the global South, which is that the cause of the conflict in Palestine is the ongoing occupation and the complete failure of Western governments to resolve the Palestinian issue. The complete failure of Western American dominated negotiations and control over the so called peace process.

And they demanded, an end to the violence, not just a ceasefire, but a complete end to the violence. The violence, that's being perpetrated by what they called the Israeli occupation government. They called for an end to the occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state, and they advocated for what I've been talking about, which is an international peace conference to take over mediation and negotiation of that peace process, and they essentially called for that peace process to adhere to the 20 old Arab peace plan that was put forward by Saudi Arabia all those years ago. I've been saying that this is the direction things are moving. US isolation, weakening of Israel, unification of the Arab and Muslim world behind one plan, one position, and the alignment of the global South with that plan and that position.

And yes, call it the recruitment of BlackRock and the OCGFC or, anyway, factions of the OCGFC to that plan, recruiting them to support that plan. And that's what's happening because conditions have changed in twenty years. Circumstances have changed. Power dynamics have changed. And Saudi Arabia and The Gulf States have been very shrewdly taking advantage of those changes as they take place.

They've anticipated them and they're taking advantage of them. And they've even participated in making some of those changes take take place, making some of those changes happen. You know, people who say, why didn't you why didn't they do this sooner? Why didn't the Arabs do this sooner? Or why haven't they done more?

All of that kind of talk. Like, well, Lahir, that's like for me, that's like trying to explain physics to a toddler. I mean, why didn't you bench press 300 pounds before you were able to bench press 100 pounds? Why is it that you have to actually leave your house before you can be in the shop? You know, if you were able to climb out of a well when that well was full of water, why weren't you able to climb out of the well when it was empty and you were at the bottom?

I mean, you don't understand basic realities, you really have no business opining about politics. Now, some people are saying that the summit, the Arab summit, the summit in Riyadh, that they rejected the idea of imposing an oil embargo, which is something that a lot of people think would be, like, a magic power move that would settle the whole thing, that would just end the conflict overnight. So let me just say something about that. The United States, if you don't know, is a net exporter of oil as the leading exporter of liquefied natural gas. They can produce enough now for their own domestic consumption.

This isn't the nineteen seventies. The Arab world's biggest importer of oil is China, not The United States, not the West. Now Europe would be affected by an oil embargo, but The United States has no problem with that. The less energy that Europe has, the less energy that they have access to, so much the better as far as America is concerned. Or maybe you haven't noticed anything that's been happening in Europe for the last two years.

No. An oil embargo would just drive up the price of oil, which would punish China for no reason unless the the the Arab world decided to sell to China sell oil to China below market rate. But that would just make The United States richer and it'll be less beneficial and advantageous to the Arabs. I mean, think it through. Don't think in memes.

Try to look at reality as it actually is and analyze it properly. You know, one other thing I wanted to mention is this idea that I've seen going around that the bombardment of Gaza has something to do with Israel wanting to exploit the natural gas reserves that are off the coast, or else that is because they wanna build a rival canal to the Suez Canal called the the Ben Gurion Canal. Look, Israel already controls the oil reserves the the gas reserves. They already they already have that. That's not new.

Hamas was not on the verge of seizing control of the natural gas reserves off the coast of Gaza. Bombing Gaza doesn't benefit extraction of natural gas activities in any way that I can see. And as for the canal, look, people have been sharing maps that purport to show the route of the canal that goes, directly through Northern Gaza, but this is not the route that's in any of the official documents, or proposals for that canal. It has no reason to run through Gaza. And furthermore, this is a this is a fantasy mega project that gets trotted out from time to time by usually unpopular Israeli leaders to make them look like they have some kind of big plan, a big vision.

But no practical steps have ever been taken to even start building this canal. I mean, there's a reason why this idea has only been floated for, like, the last fifty years, but never undertaken because it's a ludicrous idea. And to think that the Israelis are attacking Gaza today so that they can clear the path of the Ben Gurion Canal, which they have never even broken ground on to start digging to to actually make that well. It just seems implausible to me. I don't believe it.

No. They are attacking Gaza with catastrophic indiscriminate violence because lunatic Zionists like Netanyahu are catastrophically and indiscriminately violent people. It's a psychotic ideology and Netanyahu's political base subscribes to that psychotic ideology. They like bloodshed. They think that bloodshed affirms their correctness.

And Netanyahu is killing to try to save his political career, but it's too late. No serious people in Washington believe in what he's doing. I mean, the chairman of the joint chief of staff just said as much. No one thinks that he can destroy Hamas. What he's doing is only going to predictably increase Hamas membership exponentially.

This is just a last ditch desperate attempt by Netanyahu, and in fact by Zionism itself, to fight against their own imminent demise. A Zionist Israel simply has no place in the twenty first century, and that's a fact. You know, Netanyahu is probably gonna resign, and he'll resign on the condition of immunity from prosecution. Normalization will still happen. Integration of Israel into the region will still happen, But it's gonna happen because of what's everything that's happening now, it this is gonna completely degrade Israel's bargaining position in those negotiations.

And the terms are gonna be dictated now by the Arab world, by the Muslim world, and by the global South Because Israel is losing its sponsor. It's losing The United States. Or more specifically, Zionism is losing The United States. And that's not only because, you know, the American people are getting fed up increasingly. They're getting fed up with endlessly pumping more and more money into a psychopathic failed colonial experiment.

And more and more people are seeing the truth about Zionism. Thanks to social media and the inability of the The United States and the inability of Israel to control the narrative as they have been able to do prior to the Internet and social media. It's also because The US itself is becoming irrelevant in The Middle East. So you might still have your sponsor, but no one cares about your sponsor anymore. And as I've said, it's also because Zionism is finished also because the owners and controllers of global financialized capital have plans.

They have different plans for The Middle East, and they operate independently of The United States. And in fact, The United States has to follow their lead. Look. Capital has no ideology. This is something people need to recognize.

You need to wrap your head around that fact. The rich are only Zionist because being Zionist brings a return on their investment. And if it doesn't bring a return on their investment, well, they won't be Zionist anymore. As far as Israeli citizens go, well, they were indoctrinated into Zionism, and they can just as easily be indoctrinated out of it. That's how school works.

That's largely what school is for. Just flip the curriculum. Potentially, the next generation can actually be comprised of sane people. That's no tall order. You know, I saw a nurse who was who had been in Gaza and she was being interviewed on CNN, no less.

Suddenly, see Kamala Harris talking about Israel needing to clamp down on settler violence, extremist settler violence. Looks to me like The US is trying to catch up. They've been operating on reflexes, you know, learned reflexes until now. And their reflexes to whitewash Israeli war crimes. But on some level, they're starting to sense a sea change.

The days of Zionism are coming to an end, insha'Allah. Allah has shifted the dynamics in the world. He gives power to whomsoever he wills, and he makes each nation that had power a lesson. You know, any nation that had power and then loses it, he just makes them a lesson for the nations that followed them. So ultimately, The United States is just gonna be a lesson for the world, nothing more, like so many nations before them.

I mean, look at the candidates for the Republicans, for the Republican side, candidates for president. I mean, I saw clips of each one of them saying things about Palestine that could be used in evidence at The Hague, in a trial for complicity with genocide. Completely incompetent, insane people that you have running, for the top office in the land. They're extravagantly, extravagantly unqualified for any position of authority. I wouldn't give them authority to stack boxes.

Look who you have now in the, Oval Office. Joe Biden, the man is a carcass, barely animated. This is the owners and controllers of global financialized capital mocking you. They're telling you explicitly, as explicitly as anyone can tell you, that these people are irrelevant. They don't matter.

By putting this type of people, in political office, they're telling you, that, no decisions are made in those offices. What do you need them? To put an actual chimpanzee in the White House to make it clearer? No one who has any stake in policy is going to entrust any of these effigies with power and authority, and that's what they are, effigies. They're just symbolic figures that can be burnt, to take the blame for policies that are dictated by private sector power.

And that's why, again, the global movement in support of Palestine is so important because it is focusing on private sector power. It's actually a fight and a struggle that's bigger than Palestine. The movement in support of the Palestinians is shifting the whole paradigm. It's finally bringing the masses into the equation of power dynamics more than democracy ever did, and this is gonna be crucial because, as I've said, BlackRock and Saudi Arabia have an understanding. And BlackRock is gonna be trying to insinuate its way into the Middle East and into the global South.

Now, bin Salman is partnering with them, for reasons of his own ambition and for reasons of his own power and to some extent as an insurance policy against being toppled or against being assassinated. But that partnership is extremely dangerous for all of us, for the Arab world, and for everyone else. Capital has no ideology. It has no morality. Morality can only be injected into the equation by the public, by the population.

Business will never operate according to what is morally right or morally wrong, but only according to what is profitable or unprofitable. So the people are the ones who have to ensure that only what is morally right can be good for business. The movement for Palestine is pioneering this approach, but it's gonna have to become our default approach overall in in in all of our market activity. Otherwise, the pivot to the global south is just gonna replicate the same way that things have been going all this time. But if the owners and controllers of global financialized capital understand that the new dynamics of the market are governed by the principle, no justice, no profit.

Well, I think that then and only then can justice ever be possible or even be possible at all whether it's in Palestine or anywhere else.
