The plans to build a luxurious international tourist resort in the Gaza Strip are the most repugnant example of inhumanity and human rights violations resulting from the perverse degradation of the so-called “Western world,” or “collective West,” which claims to be the guardian of “our civilization.”

The planned project, inspired by the new architectural opulence and environmental destruction of Dubai and other resorts in the Arab Petro-monarchies, but surpassing even the luxurious conditions they provide, will be based on genocide, ethnic cleansing, piles of hundreds of thousands of human remains deposited in formal or improvised cemeteries, in mass graves or lying pulverized among millions of tons of rubble.

The consciences of the world’s wealthiest fanatics, accompanied by those of the middle and upper classes of America, Europe, and Asia willing to strive to display the grandiose status they have always desired, will be serene and pacified as they enjoy the delights of the spas of a thousand and one nights. And also, when tasting the delicacies served in places where tens of thousands of children have died of hunger or, more prosaically, when bathing in the paradisiacal Mediterranean waters free from the presence of Israeli warships and in which the poorest Palestinian fishermen have always been forbidden to earn their livelihood.

The pharaonic undertaking that mega-builder Donald Trump, in his capacity as president of the United States of America and Western emperor, plans to build in the Gaza Strip is an ambitious fortune hunter and generator that will transform much of the “new Middle East” that neoliberal capitalism intends to bring about through the extermination of the Palestinian people. Or, more accurately, the “final solution” to the “Palestinian problem.”

Such an idyllic scenario will become the most illustrative image of liberal democracy, leaving us to wonder how it will differ from Trumpian fascism, Kiev’s Banderist Nazism, Arab terrorist dictatorships, and the exoteric, racist, and exterminatory perversity of Zionism. In short, an indistinguishable magma that will ultimately represent “our civilization” in a totalitarian globalism on the march. Provided, of course, that it manages to bend the BRICS, destroy the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, derail and wreck the Belt and Road Initiative, undermine the Eurasian Economic Union, turn Russia against China, India against China and Russia against India, and disrupt all forms of solidarity and development advancing in the rest of the world, to the despair of the sacrosanct “rules-based international order.” There, however, “that’s where the rubber meets the road.”

A “Far West” in the “Middle East”

Before we focus directly on the savage inhumanity and bloody mission through which Western colonialism seeks to regenerate the occupied Palestinian territories, let us reflect a little on the international context in which the slaughter has taken place.

We live in a liberal democracy, we are told by the government cliques of the European Union and North America, arm in arm with the opposition that invokes “governmental status.” In Portugal, they explain to us, without shame or embarrassment, that it is a matter of continuing on the path opened on April 25, 1974. This is an outrage that should give pause for thought and prompt honest self-criticism from all those who, invoking the best of intentions, resorted to the nostalgic hordes of Salazarism, however polite they may have been, to bring about the triumph of November 25 and, as they said, put Portugal back on the legitimate path of April 25. Look where that has led us.

Now, liberal democracy, where the followers of Salazar, Pinochet, and now the deranged Argentine fascist dictator Javier Milei play increasingly influential roles, is guided by the so-called “rules-based international order,” a doctrine that tramples on international law while shaping public opinion into a single, unified confusion.

Liberal democracy, with its casuistic and illegal order, is a regime of arbitrariness, coups, opportunism, and persecution of free speech and privacy in order to serve the world’s greatest economic and financial interests. These are driven by an increasingly wealthy and restricted criminal, mafia, and trafficking elite.

The “rules-based order” has war as its main platform for action. It is no coincidence that Donald Trump, in a rare gesture of honesty and lucidity, decided to replace the Department of Defence (ministry, Pentagon) with a Department of War. Everything became clear: the leader of the West has just confirmed that when NATO, the European Union, and our governments talk about “defence doctrine” or investments “in defence,” they mean “war doctrine” or investments in war. It would be good if, for the sake of consistency with its policy of blindly following the pack, our government were to resurrect the Salazar-era terminology of “Ministry of War.”

Liberal democracy is all this, plus lies, a necessary but never sufficient practice to make us all believe that we live in a democracy.

In this way, what is happening was inevitable. The lawless mentality of the old American colonial Wild West, based on the extermination of the indigenous population and its replacement by an immigrant population, shaped the Western lifestyle, the standard of liberal democracy.

Israel’s first prime minister, Polish citizen David Ben-Gurion, born David Grun to mother Scheindel, used to say that he saw no problem with the genocidal treatment of Native Americans because “a superior race” had taken over the territory. “God made them, God brought them together,” the people will say. Israel’s behaviour is nothing more than a replica of the massacre of the indigenous peoples of North (and South) America to make way for an immigrant population, albeit practiced with more sophisticated means and based on a divinely inspired doctrine to justify earthly carnage. This is yet another reason to understand that the United States-Israel axis is “indestructible,” as they say in both countries. Let us always bear in mind that the most common Israeli version of the country’s creation is that “God promised us this land five thousand years ago.” A delusional clause assumed, quite naturally, by the “rule-based national order.”

The leaders and propagandists of liberal democracy say, lying through their teeth, that they defend the “two-state solution in Palestine” because that is what is established in international law, which they despise with all their might.

There is one honourable exception, which is asserting itself with increasing courage and humanitarian spirit, even though it knows that it is nothing more than a voice preaching in the cruel Western desert: the Spanish government and its president, Pedro Sanchez. Sanchez does not skirt around reality when he asserts that we are witnessing the genocide of a people; he does not care about Van der Leyen, Costas, Trumps, and Netanyahus at all. And, unlike his partners in the European Union and NATO, he has taken steps to ensure that, as he says, it is still possible to safeguard the “two-state solution.” However, as the saying goes, “there is no rule without exception,” and in the troubled West, it is the rule that continues to prevail.

No one more than they, the leaders and propagandists of liberal democracy, know that they are uttering one of their supreme and blatant lies. While they chant “two states” like a mantra, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (whose Polish father’s surname was Mileikovsky) assures us that he will accelerate the colonization of the West Bank and the massacre in Gaza (to “fight Hamas”) so that the creation of a Palestinian state will not be possible. The head of the Tel Aviv government, pursued by international justice but strutting around wherever necessary in the European Union and the United States, has no qualms about saying what he feels and practicing the “rules-based international order,” an attitude in which he is much more honest than his allies. Our governments surpass the criminal Zionist in hypocrisy. They talk and talk and talk about a Palestinian state, they shed crocodile tears for the dead, the children and the hungry, they express outrage while bowing to the orders of the Israeli ambassadors that Mossad distributes around the world, and in the end, they watch the extermination of the Palestinian people without lifting a finger.

Why not a resort?

Given this behaviour, should we be surprised by plans to build a luxury beach resort on top of piles of hundreds of thousands of corpses and the remains of the painful lives left behind by two million living dead? Ultimately, plans like these are nothing more than a manifestation, monstrous though it may be, of the inhumanity and contempt for people inherent in liberal democracy. If our governments’ concerns were different, equivalent to ours, Zionist genocidal actions would have been stopped long ago and the viable state to which the Palestinians are entitled would exist. A state whose establishment will be a reality, whether Zionism likes it or not—the only question is when. Criminal governments and regimes do not last forever, and history is full of the downfalls of similar terrorist regimes. This is also the fate that awaits neoliberal totalitarianism.

However, what is in force in the Western world for now is the “rules-based international order.” It is true that international law does not allow Donald Trump to exercise sovereignty over a territory that does not belong to his country, the Gaza Strip, in order to give free rein to business perversions there. Similarly, international conventions prevent Israel from causing demographic and structural changes in the territories it occupies: Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. The arbitrary international order exists precisely so that the West can commit these illegalities, but that does not mean that international law has been revoked forever. The vast part of the world that lies beyond the small backyard represented by the so-called “collective West,” equivalent to just over 15%, is working to restore it and has taken fundamental strategic steps to make this happen.

The balance of power, however, still allows the rulers and followers of the misguided concept of liberal democracy to dream of a tourist paradise in a Gaza Strip that has been razed and flattened with everything in it, including human life.

Let us have no doubt that as soon as Egypt opens the gates at Rafah, on the southern border of the enclave, much of the population of Gaza will not even need to be pushed by the Zionist henchmen: they will simply flee in search of even a few crumbs that are now denied them, of tents to replace the homes that have been destroyed, of soup prepared by a charity always ready to show off its efforts to help the disadvantaged, of a new life of hardship and uncertainty that, after all, has long been promised to them in the desert.

Western political cliques, then relieved that the “Palestinian problem” has finally been solved, will gather at the pompous inauguration of the paradise of Gaza and revel in the amenities of rare luxury created on the human, material, and civilizational rubble of an ancient culture from which ours has drunk almost everything. With the exception, of course, of the perversions and savage behavioural deviations to which it is devoted.

On that occasion, on the other hand, and in the face of shocking evidence, there will be many more Western citizens who are fed up with the preaching about the defence of human rights, the well-being of populations, and the guarantees of the primacy of democracy and the rule of law uttered by their leaders. By living in parallel realities and using people as instruments of interests that exist to debase them, liberal democratic governments and regimes are, in the long run, digging their own graves, as happened with numerous dictatorships that had the honesty to admit what they were, and from which they inherited many nefarious methods and behaviours.

Solidarity with the Palestinian people and popular activism in their defence, which are growing worldwide, including in Portugal, are helping to undermine the power of the lies spread by the sociopaths of liberal democracy—until the day we force them to lose their footing.

And who knows if that will happen before the magnificent and sickening Gaza resort is built? In truth, it all depends on us, and it is far from an impossible task. Evoking history once again, let us remember that it is full of good examples of justice and liberation. But we must work for it.
