Telling people opposing genocide to shut the fuck up otherwise Trump will win, then standing there with attitude as you murder children, is another agonisingly dystopian moment for the world. The US is abject evil, and the cheers show how widespread. https://t.co/5zL6KZ3NVB

🚨BREAKING: An Oxfam report has revealed how Israel has reduced the amount of water available in Gaza by 94% — yet it was already at a devastating level before due to Israel’s blockade. This👇 is from 2020. Israel is killing Palestinians with thirst in front of the entire world. https://t.co/ES7Nj45dAd

@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Due to the overuse of the word, perhaps, or the fear of being wrongly labelled an antisemite, some people seem reluctant to label Israel as a fascist state. So, let's take a look at what fascism is, the key defining characterises of fascism, and how Israel stacks up. 🧵
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
'Fascism' comes from the Latin 'fasces,' which "denotes a bundle of wooden rods, including a protruding axe blade." Fascist regimes "require citizens to be as unified as the tightly bound fasces" (Britannica). Mussolini, the first fascist dictator, coined the modern term.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
This is important, as it underpins fascism's total allegiance to the political cause. Experts can disagree on what constitutes fascism, so I’ve taken this list from Umberto Eco’s essay on ‘Eternal Fascism,’ since Eco grew up under Mussolini’s fascist regime.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Eco noted that “There was only one Nazism,” but that, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” This is what he means by 'Eternal Fascism' or 'Ur-Fascism': the consistent elements across fascist regimes.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Eco identified 14 characteristics of fascism that “cannot be organised into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.” 👇
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
1 - The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
The lines Zionists use to defend the worst acts of mankind—colonialism, apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing—are steeped in largely discredited biblical mythology. https://mondediplo.com/2008/09/07israel
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
2 - The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
According to an article in Haaretz from June of this year, ‘the Israeli government is a closed institution whose inmates have seized control of it,’ where the enlightened are a ‘small, despised minority’ and should ‘seek refuge elsewhere.’ https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-06-21/ty-article-opinion/.highlight/israels-exodus-of-the-enlightened/00000188-d9f0-df52-a79d-ddf3d2830000?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=Haaretz%2Fmagazine%2FIsrael+and+Middle+East+News
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
3 - The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
In these few weeks, we have seen the unthinking acts of Israel as they have murdered their own citizens from a helicopter, bombed buildings their own citizens are held in, and repeatedly made outlandish claims to the world without any evidence at all. https://x.com/drakramawad/status/1726202044787105824?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
4 - Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
As we’ve repeatedly seen, it is forbidden for Israeli citizens to demonstrate in support of the Palestinian cause, with Orthodox Jews being beaten in the street, but for more insidious is the targeting of journalists both in Gaza and Israel: https://x.com/palestinenw/status/1726211135291240639?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
In additional, Israel has been targeting Armenian and Christian communities in Jerusalem: https://x.com/incontextmedia/status/1725668558930084080?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
5 - Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
We are witnessing a racist genocide, unequivocally, as per the words of Israel’s representatives (below), but the racial supremacy of a Zionist ethnostate alone, where Black Jews and non-Jews are treated with disdain, is enough to alarm.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
6 - Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
The victim-playing appeals to social frustrations of historic persecution; a typical example, here a spokesperson smears a TV presenter as a ‘Holocaust denier’ for merely asking for what ‘definitive proof’ they had a Hamas base was in Al-Shifa (it wasn’t)
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
7 - The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
The victim-playing, the mythology of Israeli history, & the *very real* history of Jewish persecution, creates a narrative of perpetual besiegement, a storyline that the world is eternally against them & that they must fight back against the whole world.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
8 - The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Palestinians are ‘animals’ and Hamas ‘uncivilised terrorists,’ yet pose an ‘existential threat’ to nuclear-armed Israel that requires an assault on Gaza so strong, so forceful, that up to 1000 innocent civilians are murdered per day. https://x.com/sarah_hassan94/status/1726187197802381526?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
9 - Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
We’ve seen multiple Israeli spokespeople accuse anyone who attempts to defend peace and a ceasefire of colluding with Hamas, but the most stark example of this was when the Israeli ambassador accused the UN of as much: https://x.com/raniakhalek/status/1723214220035325955?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
10 - Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Zionist supremacy is front and centre at all times when they speak, but never quite as disturbingly as when Netanyahu attacks Palestinians, labelling them the ‘Amalek,’ who are seen as a spiritually weak and evil people. https://x.com/mtracey/status/1718360354764238929?s=46&t=W5D_v6BP9GNyRj11j2COyw
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
11 - Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
IOF propaganda is rife with heroic symbolism perpetuating the state propaganda that fighting and even dying for the cause is a great honour. "This is a war between the sons of light and the sons of darkness.” —Israeli President Isaac Herzog
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
12 - Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
While there have been protests in Israel this year regarding the erosion of women’s rights (link), the most striking example is the sexualisation of the IOF, which combines the objectification and dehumanisation of Israeli women with a brutally oppressive, genocidal military occupation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/13/patriarchal-biased-israeli-women-fear-loss-rights-rabbinic-courts-legal-overhaul
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
13 - Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
This perfectly encapsulates the Zionist movement and its antisemitic roots: the notion that Zionists speak for all Jews, and so Zionists can act with impunity behind cover of the Jewish faith.
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
14 - Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Finally, the language of Zionist Israel. The reduction of conversations down to labelling Hamas ‘terrorists’ ignores the history of the situation, but far worse than that, Israeli TV shows a ‘kill count’ that labels all innocent civilians, even babies, as ‘terrorists killed.’ https://t.co/9704uqWEUd
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
Now, I have made a case for all fourteen characteristics of Fascism being present in Zionist doctrine, some to an unfathomable degree, but remember Eco’s caveat: “It is enough that *one* of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”
@ecomarxi - Tiberius
