Recalling his experience as a soldier in Israel’s army during his government’s massive military assault against Gaza and its people in July and August of 2014 (over 2,100 civilians killed by Israeli bombs, shells and bullets), Benzi Sanders states the obvious, which is that violence begets violence, as Jesus had warned us: ‘for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword’ (Matthew 26:52).

Benzi Sanders
‘It’s not about security, it’s about ideology: we’re ideologically committed to controlling the entire land of Israel exclusively for the Jewish people (see my previous post for more on this subject). And … uh … but there will be many Israelis who simply want revenge on Hamas for this hideous attack. That will only strengthen them, even if we dismantle and … and are able to defeat the physical terrorist organisation Hamas, we will be strengthening the idea of violent resistance because the only way to defeat the idea of violent resistance is to create an alternative and to work towards an alternative one that our government is fundamentally opposed to. So, this government can’t defeat Hamas.

Mark Austin:
So you think it will in effect radicalise another generation of young Palestinians?

Benzi Sanders
Of course … of course, we’re just killing them and we don’t provide any alternative. We’re keeping them under a debilitating siege: they’re running out of fuel, they’re running out of drinking water […]

This interview was uploaded by Sky News on 26th October (https://youtu.be/7fPtN4hVlFA). Mr Sanders recently gave an interview to CNN, in which he reiterated his opinion.

Personally, I believe that this is precisely the objective: a constant war between an armed Palestinian faction (and its allies) and Israel (and its allies) so as to maintain a bogeyman against which the Israeli people will be able to identify collectively and rally, thus both for control of the Israeli populace and of the Palestinians (that is, if they will not have been ejected out of the Occupied Territories by the time the present war ends) as well as for money-making purposes. A bit like Julian Assange had warned the world about at a rally against the war in Afghanistan in London on 8th October 2011:

‘Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan. The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. That is the goal, i.e. the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war. […] So the Stop the war coalition is important because we have to prevent it becoming normal for there to be a constant war. Very soon, within the next few years, it will become the normal for there to be constant war in the West. People will reach maturity, adulthood, under the understanding that there is always war. And at that point, war will not be something that is unusual, or surprising, or horrifying, war will become the new normal.’  [https://youtu.be/4j4Q6e_wbwM]
