European colonisation of Southeast Asia Portuguese Timor Spanish East Indies Dutch East Indies French Indochina British Burma, Malaya, and Borneo Siam (Thailand)
Ireland was subjected to a series of 'plantations' - the introduction of a foreign population to take lands cleared violently of native peoples.
The English Ruling class perceive themselves as a 1000 year continuity since 1066. They think and plan long term is ways no electorate has ever been capable of.
Winston Churchill compares the Palestinians, as a people and as a polity, in 1937 to the dog in the manger after reading the Peel Commission which suggested partitioning British mandated Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. Churchill said of the Palestinians in 1937:
Churchill summed up their attitude as follows :
1. Why did the British Empire insert a Zionist Religious-Ethno state into the Middle East?
2. Look to all the other partitions and borders drawn by the British Empire. What did those partitions do to the indigenous peoples?
3. Look at the long term impact of those partitions and borders. What happened?
Tension between favoured and disfavoured groups, along religious or language group lines, caused by the splits across indigenous identities.
4. Internalised identity is felt by the person holding that sense of identity to be the very core of their psyche.
Any challenge to that very personal sense of identity is perceived as a direct existential threat.
Which leads to a fight or flight reaction.
Emotional self regulation is shut down, the forebrain goes off-line, and an irrational level of fear and rage is triggered.
Look at the settler communities in each colony partition. Notice the self-righteous irrational extremes of violence.
Ammunition for violence, long term violence, centuries of violence, passed from generation to generation via identity.
5. In every partition we see long term tensions that span centuries, that disable the emergence of independent polities and economic systems.
That is the observed outcome and I suggest the ultimate objective of partition and arbitrary borders imposed on contiguous indigenous populations.
6. The Zionist project was inserted after 1917 because the Arab and Persian polities were sitting on the next new fuel - Oil. Oil became important after WWI because it became the fuel of Warfare: Navies had relied on coal and sail prior to WWI.
It also became the fuel of mechanised infantry, air forces. It also became the feed stock for ammunition, and later on fertilisers and a range of synthetic products. An entirely new economy based on control of a single resource. The English had no known oil reserves in Great Britain. They had to get it somewhere.
7. Because the Empire is Racist, they detested the possibility that their inferiors - the Arabs and Persians (Iranians), the Chinese, the Africans and others might develop independent polities, and they also feared the emergence of independent economies that might stand as equals to the British, and even build different kinds of economies. Arab and African also Socialism emerged after WWI.
8. Spite and greed.
9. Israel has generated violent tension in the Middle East in the same way Northern Ireland Plantations of the 1600s did in Ireland.
9. Israel is not influencing the British Establishment - it has always been the other way around.
10. The formation of The Zionist State has less to do with the Holocaust than we are led to believe. The Zionist project was initiated after the British Empire had defeated and dismantled the Ottoman Empire, during WWI.
The Holocaust - a most horrific murderous campaign of extermination of Jewish people in Germany and across Eastern Europe was in all honesty a European Christian crime, a continuation of centuries of horrific intentional oppression and violence perpetrated against Jewish Communities as a political strategy, that old sordid tactic of othering one group to distract the majority population from the abuses of the Christian establishment. European powers did nothing much to prevent either phenomenon, Holocaust or Pogrom.
11. Just as they are doing nothing today to prevent the Palestinian Genocide. In spite of their claims to be the best and most moral upholders and representatives of Democracy on Earth, defenders of freedom and the stalwarts of International Law, etc etc etc.
12. However, for the British Establishment it looks better to suggest Israel is the malign influence - they can easily conflate anti-Semitism with anti-Zionist occupation and colonisation, and exploit European perceptions of guilt to protect their insert.
13. The only populations who can stop the UK Establishment are the UK population, and the same applies to the US and EU populations. However, the carefully curated divisions among us at this time make this impossible.
14. Humane solidarity that bridges the divides is the only trajectory we can develop to counter all this violence and abuse of Power. Intersectionality matters because it brings all forms of oppression under one umbrella.
Full text of the Arab Leagues presentation before the International Court of Justice February 26 2024
"Palestine was legally a single territory with a single population enjoying a right of self determination on a unitary basis."
It is well worth reading the presentation, because it states the facts as they really are.
What do you think of this analysis?

also: Misogyny is a partition long term planning tool of dominance. Hence the reversal of Roe vs Wade in USA. Identity weaponised to garner votes to gain illegitimate access to democratic power.
