 israel has been murdering itself along with the palestinians, though the arabs are getting it worse, so far;


“It’s not relevant to talk about whether the Israeli economy is going to collapse because it has already collapsed,” said Shir Hever on The Electronic Intifada Livestream for 10 July.

“It’s just acting with struts that are imposed by external forces that enable it to continue to exist,” he added.

Hever, author of The Political Economy of Israel’s Occupation, says he faced criticism for prematurely saying the Israel economy was collapsing a year ago on The Electronic Intifada Livestream.

He admits he didn’t expect the Israeli economy or its genocide to last this long: “Because I didn’t anticipate the level of complicity from the West.”

Israel’s “complete lack of control over [its] own destiny” and its dependence on external support are two reasons why Hever says we are in “the zombie stage of the Israeli economy and society.”

Also, Israel’s budget was passed on 17 March with plans to transition funds away from war to urgent social and economic needs. But the next day Israel broke the ceasefire and so “The budget was a sham from the beginning,” said Hever.

We also covered Israel’s ongoing murders of Palestinians at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s so-called aid sites – nearly 800 have been killed and over 5,000 injured in the past six weeks.

Israel is also trying to revive its discredited 7 October mass rapes narrative, this time with British funding, as executive director Ali Abunimah and associate editor Asa Winstanley reported.

And after heavy losses in June, the Israeli military continued to lose soldiers amid stepped up resistance operations in Gaza, contributing editor Jon Elmer revealed in his report.
