The Zionist state of "Israel" seems to be in moral, political, and psychiatric free fall. How does one explain the copiously routine, feral, violently racist and bigoted language of "Israeli" leaders, politicians, bureaucrats, settlers, rabbis, and even academics? The profoundly disturbing disregard for innocent "Arab" life, including children, among "Israeli" soldiers and the military? The polls that consistently, bizarrely reveal a majority of the "Israeli" Jewish (Zionist) citizens (settlers) repelled at living next to or befriending "Arabs"? The rising voices advocating "transfer" of "Israeli" Arabs (1948 Palestinians) or expulsion of the Palestinians? The crazy, unpredictable military rage and terrorism directed at Arab populations? The extremist, self-destructive right-wing drift of "Israeli" politics? In the past five years, one can observe and feel a qualitative change for the worse in "Israeli" Jewish political psychosis, a turn to the acute. The "Israeli" self-image of rationality, self- confidence, restraint, pragmatism, and marshal moral superiority are delusions and myths, constructed to protect the "Israeli" psyche, manipulated by the state to keep alive the specter of existential terror in the "Israeli" public and to disguise the state's raison d'être, expansion and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, and maintain the deeply sociologically and institutionally entrenched "Israeli" military nature, increasingly blurring the lines between a civilian and military state And anyway, in this case, disproportionality - a concept actually inapplicable to the evil being rained on defenceless Lebanon or the genocide in Palestine - implies that "Israel" is reacting to others' provocations and acts of aggression, as if the Palestine problem began with Hamas and Hizbullah's capture of "Israeli" soldiers, or as if only "Israel" has the right to use force to defend itself while its enemies do not, a concept apparently supported by the West, never mind the slavish idiocy of Bush administration pronouncements. Not that state terrorism, deliberate aggression, extreme disproportionate force, and massive violations of international humanitarian law are newto the "Israeli" state: from 1948, the list is long, the evidence widely available. It's as though all moral and psychological constraints and boundaries have been breached, deviancy normalised. They, argues Issa Khalaf*, represent a distorted rationalisation of power and create the conditions for consequences that "Israel" cannot controlĪs we witness the unfolding spectacle of ferocious, indiscriminate violence, destruction, and brutality in Gaza and Lebanon, it's difficult to resist the conclusion that there is something terribly wrong with the "Israeli" state and society. "Israel's" goals in Palestine and Lebanon are inherently irrational.

As we witness the unfolding spectacle of ferocious, indiscriminate violence, destruction, and brutality in Gaza and Lebanon, it's difficult to resist the conclusion that there is something terribly wrong with the "Israeli" state and society. They, argues Issa Khalaf*, represent a distorted rationalisation of power and create the conditions for consequences that "Israel" cannot control.
