US-Israel military integration and negative differentiation

The genocide and war crimes committed by Zionist Israel in Gaza have forced the entire world to change. Simultaneously with Gaza, Israel committed the same crimes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The crimes of Zionist settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which are completely "off the grid" – meaning not constrained by law – have caused outrage almost everywhere in the world. In this context, the fact that figures like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, who lead settler terrorism, are met with hatred in the international arena is a very significant outcome. Because the international system has been rendered inoperable by its founders for the first time, perhaps no direct steps can be taken against these individuals today, but the mobility of Zionist Jews is being constantly restricted in many parts of the world. This will have very serious consequences.

While the mobility of Zionist Jews is being restricted, the fact that events in Protestant Europe and the US are moving in the opposite direction can be called "negative differentiation." However, studies show that ordinary people in these countries do not consent to this negative differentiation. The visibly declining public support for Zionist ideology in the US indicates that negative differentiation is also occurring between elites and ordinary people. Perhaps we cannot speak of a very sharp differentiation, but it is very clear that the elites' policy of negative differentiation is leading to a serious loss of support. The rise of racist groups and political movements should also be evaluated within the same framework. We can easily say that this process will lead to a new type of authoritarianism. It does not seem easy to define this process with the concepts and perspectives of the world we are accustomed to.

As an example of the negative differentiation activities of US elites, we can point to the US Congress's pursuit of "military integration" with Israel. As we have tried to express, while US support for Israel is itself provoking reactions domestically, the fact that members of Congress are working on military integration with Israel is not an ordinary event. This news is also not easy to define with the concepts of the world we are accustomed to. The US desire to deepen military integration with Israel seriously challenges traditional perspectives. We can evaluate this as a kind of quest for unification. This would mean the confirmation of a view we have long been trying to express. Personally, I do not share the general belief that the US has surrendered to Jewish power. I hold the same view for England and Germany. These countries have not submitted to "Jewish power" either. However, elites in the US, England, and Germany will not be able to act comfortably due to the public backlash against Israel. The threatening speech of Ronald Lauder, President of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), is one of the most striking examples of their inability to act comfortably.

The accustomed approaches to lobbying organizations and groups such as the World Jewish Congress or AIPAC should be seriously questioned. If US and Protestant European elites had not given way, lobbies could not have become a dominant force over US and European politics. In this framework, the military integration of the US and Israel coming to the fore is quite meaningful. Because genocide and war crimes have opened the way for hatred toward Israel. This hatred is also spilling over onto the US and the Anglo-Saxon world. It is also meaningful that the speech of World Jewish Congress President Lauder has been presented on different channels under the headline "Total war against anyone who does not obey the word of the Jewish State." Ronald Lauder says: "The response must be angry, Israel must counterattack every day, every hour, no institution should be exempt from this." Lauder's statements about "tracking down Israel's critics, silencing journalists, targeting everyone who tells the truth" are much more meaningful in the context of "negative differentiation" and "military integration." Ronald Lauder's exclusionary statements toward Turks living in Germany and across Europe are also very important. They are threatening both the domestic and the other at the same time.

There is no difference between a Zionist at the head of the World Jewish Congress and Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, who lead settler terrorism in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Lauder also does not object to Israel's genocide and war crimes. The fact that the US Congress is going beyond supporting Israel and making efforts to realize the idea of integration heralds that brand new debates will come to the fore. Elites are forcing everyone to make a choice, both in the US and in Europe. They want to spread negative differentiation to the grassroots.

I can say that from now on, the truly shocking changes will take place in the countries that are attempting negative differentiation.
