From a magazine that supported the invasion of Iraq, supported Israel —and probably still does—and it is now ‘baptised’ as ‘progressive’. The question remains: it is not about individuals—individualising regimes is a prevalent narrative—but about an imperialist state that strives to maintain its hegemony through violence—among other means— in a changing world. In this particular case, I can do it and get away with it. An ally of mine, Israel, can do it and get away with it. New President, Same Old Forever War
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
