Letter to Azmi Bishara:
“Talent without integrity is a scourge.” – Simón Bolívar
Azmi Bishara, I shout at you through my tears: traitor. Yes, your betrayal is a defeat in my soul. It is not easy for me to call you a traitor—it is a mourning in my spirit. Palestinian traitors like Khaled Meshal, Mahmoud Abbas, Mohammed Dahlan—none bleed me; but your betrayal does. I calm myself and tell myself… there are no nations without heroes and, there are no nations without traitors either: Jesus was Palestinian—and Judas too. Struggles are long, bitter, cruel, harsh, and cursed too.
End of my sad letter.
The Arab tyrannies—especially the Gulf petro coco channel -monarchies—neocolonial, pillars in the Western imperial structure; they are not only instruments of Western imperial engineering that created pseudo-Islamic atrocity laboratories like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. They were all created in the West and funded in coordination by these Arab tyrannies.
But today these Arab tyrannies are not only perpetuating death and their Nazi-like servility to the West behind a veneer of religion; they have accelerated into other more cunning shadows: secularists, atheists, religious folks, feminists, academics, intellectuals, artists, journalists, analysts, activists—even the woke swill. Many of those mentioned can be charismatic without great talent; but others are very capable, intelligent, and very mind blowingly talented (talent is not necessarily ethics).
When Simón Bolívar said, “Talent without integrity is a scourge,” that scourge is you—executioners, torturers scented with humanism in service of colonial Nazi-Zionism, Eurocentricly and deceitfully called “Israel,” whose project is to erase the Arab-Persian world. The invasion of Iraq was born in the labs of the international Zionist movement—not to overthrow a tyrant but to destroy a people, to commit historicide, memorycide, culturicide, genocide and epistemicide.
Iraq is easily within some 40,000 years of history—this is the Arab ancestral legacy… Baghdad (the city of exquisite wisdom). Iraq is Mesopotamia, Babylon, Chaldea, Sumer: 25,000 archaeological pieces were either destroyed or stolen. Today Iraq is overrun by Al-Qaeda… Palestine no longer exists! Iraq no longer exists! Libya no longer exists! Syria no longer exists!… The project is a Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates. “Oh, let the tyrants fall,” cry the naive and talented impostors.
Today’s Arab world is classified into dictatorships and a very powerful Eurocentric colonial entity, deceitfully called “Israel.” The fundamental problem in the Arab world is neither dictatorship or democracy. Yes, Arab people suffer under horrific tyrannies; but what will be overthrown here are the tyrannies that refuse submission to Western imperial inhumanity. After overthrowing these tyrannies, the chaos-engineering is implemented: Iraq, Libya, Syria. The project is Greater Israel.
The overthrow of Bashar Al-Assad’s dictatorship wasn’t carried out by the Syrian people. Although part of the Syrian people celebrated, we do not see Syrians posting images of the new dictator on their social media—they know he is an immoral head-cutter. The overthrow of Bashar was executed by other dictatorships—primarily Qatar, led by Turkey, and the colonial regime of Israel.
Many—though not all—may celebrate the fall of dictators that are not aligned with imperial interests; I can understand that. Such celebration is due to the intense pain and suffering of the Syrian people. Aeschylus in Greek tragedy summed it up: they will celebrate, though what comes next will be worse…
There will be no free woman, no free and sovereign Arab-Persian-Kurdish world as long as that Eurocentric, expansionist, colonial anachronism deceitfully called “Israel” exists. Everything else, no matter how well-intentioned, without this point is getting us lost, enslavingly cowardly.
‘Greater Israel’ Explained: The Israeli Plan to Conquer the Arab World
It is not enough to be Palestinian—I love you, Palestine!—…you may instead serve Arab-Zionist Nazism. How to be useful to Arab-Zionist Nazism? Qatar is very good at this.
This moment in history is at our doorstep—the blood of the native Semitic Palestinian people is spilled against colonialism. It is the moment of heroes and traitors (when I say traitors, I refer to my brothers). Among the cast of Arab dictatorships: Syria—a coastal nation—was firmly acting against that colonial Nazi-Zionist project. It was crucial in this epic moment. The Palestinian cause headed to its grave was being resurrected . Beautiful was that Arab-Persian weave: Yemen, Hezbollah, Hamas, and more. Qatar, Turkey, and colonial Israel succeeded in playing critical roles in overthrowing that dictatorship. They did not go to save the suffering of the Syrian people—they went to salvage Israeli colonialism. They opposed Palestine.
Since 2010, the numbers speak: 120,000 to 186,000 mercenaries worldwide were brought in to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. That money does not come from Europe, but from Gulf tyrannies—especially Qatar. Dictatorships against dictatorships.
Today there are songs of hope—Qatar is going to invest in Syria. Qatar is going to rebuild Syria, reconstruct what it destroyed with its dantesque mercenaries. Sanctions on Syria will be removed. Removing those sanctions means handing over Syria’s natural resources.
To remove sanctions on Syria, it must recognize the expansionist colonial regime of Israel, normalize with that genocidal and Nazi entity. That is why it was installed.
Al-Qaeda in Syria, Al-Jolani—like Bin Laden—are Arab agents, psychopaths, monstrous head-cutters, rapists and promoters of rapists of girls. They are ignorant of the millennia of Arab diversity and they hate it. Al-Qaeda is a victory for Arab-Zionist Nazism—and you too, inhuman charismatic hired manipulators who chant “long live Palestine” while collaborating with Arab-Zionist Nazism. You are the other head-cutters we find hard to show the world.
You may accuse me of praising dictator Bashar al-Assad—since you glaringly show the vibrant democracies today in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Only Iraq will have five degraded generations due to depleted uranium. Genocide in the name of democracy—and you are operative parts of genocide with your mouths chanting “democracy, democracy”: Genocracy.
Ah, I have not named any “Arab Nazi-Zionist” tyrant—do not think of me as very brave. Yes, I am afraid; I must be aware of your head-cutter bosses who pay your salaries, shouting “democracy.”
With absolute respect for humanity, how much pain and terror there was in the horror committed against the “journalist” Jamal Khashoggi—may no one suffer the macabre horror done to him, although he was a terrorist who supported the head-cutters in Syria. Later, those same head-cutters cut off his head. I hope that you—even the greatest traitors—do not meet the same misfortune.
