After Savagery :Gaza, Genocide and the Illusion of Western Civilization

Like millions of others around the globe, I am at once overwhelmed by the magnitude of terror that genocidal Zionists are capable of perpetrating on innocent and defenseless people. Neither the political nor the poetic urges, nor the secular or sacred citations that might come to mind can come to terms with what is happening in Palestine.
Given the depth of this savagery, the vulgarity, and the cruelty we face, we must expose, I thought to myself, directly, the barbaric roots of what has sold itself as “Western Civilization.”
Israel is not a country, it is not a homeland, it is not a rooted culture. Israel is a settler colony, a moral depravity created by the West, enabled and empowered by the West. Israel is the most wicked evidence of the West.
Israel is every atrocity ever committed around the world in Asia, Africa, and Latin America by the West in a nutshell, staged for the whole world to see.
Since its very inception, Israel is the summation of the West, materialized and put on a pedestal. This book, therefore, is about making a crucial adjustment in our perception of Israel:
It is not just a settler colony that the West supports, but it is “the West” in its very quintessence. It is the highest manifestation of the calamitous ideology of conquest that calls itself “the West,” exposing its murderous roots and occasioning the groundwork for the very metaphysics of barbarism that has sold itself to the world as “Western civilization.”
Today, Gaza and the rest of Palestine is where the false premise of Western moral authority is buried. The world is liberated from that false consciousness.
