FINKELSTEIN: Israel Acting Like a 'Lunatic State'
Israel has carried out retaliatory strikes against Iran after the interview.
Norman Finkelstein, the Middle East scholar, said in a recent interview that Israel was acting like it could be a “lunatic state” as it promotes war with Iran and continues to carry out its genocide in Gaza.
“I do believe that we are at one of those moments where Israel is hurling towards the precipice and is determined, one way or the other, to drag the rest of humanity with it,” he told Glenn Greenwald’s podcast “System Update.” “The only part of departure, in my opinion, that's rational, is to start with the theorem, not the thesis…the theorem that Israel is a lunatic state. And I don't say that in a glib way. I don't say that in an emotive way. I think one can say it in, for want of a better word, a scientific way. The state is certifiably crazy.”
Finkelstein mentioned Israel’s Samson Option which calls for the country’s government to pretend to be crazy to terrify its enemies and its allies so both do Israel's bidding.
If not “Israel is going to bring down the temple on everybody's head,” he said.
“And there are those who are not pretending to be crazy by advocating the Samson Option….They are crazy. They're lunatics. And I do believe that there is a significant portion of Israel's political spectrum that is either pretending to be crazy, or actually is crazy.”
Israel carried out a limited military strike on Iran late Thursday in response to Iran’s attack last weekend.
Iran downplayed the attack and said in a statement that it shot down multiple Israeli quadcopters.
“There's been no airstrike in Isfahan or other parts of the country. They only made a failed and humiliating attempt to fly quadcopters, and they were all shot down,” Iran said.
Scott Ritter, spoke to @Reporterfy, about the risks of Israel employing its nuclear option.
He said the Samson Option is not just a Biblical reference, it is Israel's nuclear doctrine that if the world turns against us, “we take the world down with our nuclear weapons.”
“Netanyahu has created an Israel that exists in his image. This is his Israel. The Likhud party has been perverted into this religious right-wing insanity that speaks in existential terms, that if we don't save Israel then there's nothing worth saving. We take it all down and now we're taken into the next level of insanity the potential of Israel to use nuclear weapons and normally I would be dismissive of but again we're beyond the normal parameters of discussion,” he said.
By Design I might add...
Albert Pike Letter to Mazzini
The Illuminati Plan for 3 World Wars, August 15, 1871
"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the
power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The
divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic
Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used
in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."
"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the
Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and
that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.
During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to
balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we
would need it for the final social cataclysm."
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the
"agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The
war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism
(the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the
point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion… We shall unleash the
Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror
will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most
bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of
revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned
with christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction,
anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light
through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public
view.
This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the
destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
"Israel is a lunatic state"
What part of its actions in recent decades would make one think otherwise?
What part of their actions since October 2023 would make one doubt the above for even a millisecond?
When a genocide is publicised globally for 6 months and the atrocities only get worse as their citizens cheer it all on, then you know you're dealing with a nation of psychopaths.
The ignition point for the endgame conflagration was always going to be in the Middle East.
After, it will be to the eternal shame of whatever remnant of the USA exists that their great nation was turned into a puppet acting on behalf of that Evil nation of psychopaths.
Peace.
