Chris Hedges: Annexation & Genocide
     Release time: 2025-05-30
  Zionist extremists and Christian fascists, who are united and now hold senior positions throughout the Trump administration, embody a global movement to the extreme right.
  Christian fascists distort Christianity to sacralize white supremacy, the U.S. empire and capitalism, as well as demonizing those who oppose them as satanic. These heretics — I speak as a divinity-school graduate — deform the Gospels in the same way Jewish fascists deform the Torah.
  In fact, according to the eschatology of the Christian fascists, Jews in Israel in the “End Times” will be converted to Christianity or exterminated, which exposes their deep anti-Semitic roots and open embrace of Nazi theorists such as Carl Schmidt and sympathizers such as Rousas John Rushdoony.
  Israel routinely violates diplomatic and ethical norms. It ignores humanitarian law and international law, carrying out genocide in violation of the United Nations’s 1948 Genocide Convention. It mocks the concept of the open, democratic society, creating second-class citizens and a system of apartheid dominated by those of predominantly European descent. It employs indiscriminate lethal force to “cleanse” its society of those branded as human “contaminants,” “human animals.”
  Jewish supremacy, like the supremacy of the Christian fascists, is, these fanatics claim, sanctified by God. The slaughter of the Palestinians, who Benjamin Netanyahu compared to the biblical Amalekites, are the incarnate of evil and deserve to be massacred. Euro-Americans in the American colonies used the same biblical passage to justify the genocide of Native Americans. Violence and the threat of violence are the only forms of communication those inside the magical circle of Jewish nationalism or Christian nationalism speak.
  Jewish fascism is what the Christian fascists seek to emulate. They too yearn to “cleanse” American society of its human “contaminants” the way Israel is ethnically cleansing itself of the Palestinians. Israel’s Basic Law: The Nation State of the Jewish People, passed by the Knesset in 2018, declares that the right to self-determination in Israel is “exclusive to the Jewish People.”
  This legal discrimination is one American fascists plan to emulate on behalf of white Christians. The familiar enemies of fascism — journalists, human rights advocates, people of color, undocumented workers, Muslims, intellectuals, artists, feminists, liberals, the left, pacifists and the poor — will, as in Israel, be targets.
  The judiciary will be a tool for repressing dissidents and protecting the rich. Public debate will wither. Civil society and the rule of law will cease to exist. Those branded as “disloyal” will be persecuted, evidenced by the State Department’s AI-powered “Catch and Revoke” effort to “cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups.”
