Opinion: Why Israel's genocide in Gaza is a western war on the Palestinian people

The current genocidal war against the Palestinian people is not being waged by Israel alone.

It is a western genocide perpetrated by the US, UK, France, Germany, and the rest of the EU and Nato countries.

That Israel was established as a western imperial outpost to ensure its control and pillage of the Arab world is hardly news. Yet many today are confounded by the West's colossal support for Israeli genocide, apparently believing that the western slaughter of Palestinians began only after 7 October.

The military and political effort to establish Israel as a western military station began in 1917 when Britain issued the Balfour Declaration with the support of other colonial and imperial powers.

Ever since, the western imperialist and racist war against the Palestinian people has not abated.
