Images of the regime’s political and military leadership reveal a bitter truth: the majority of them are not Palestinian at all. From Eli Cohen, the Moroccan-born foreign minister, to Bezalel Smotrich, the Ukrainian-born finance minister, and Yoav Gallant, the defense minister of Polish descent—none have risen from the very land they claim to own. Benjamin Netanyahu and Gilad Erdan come from Polish and Romanian families; Yair Lapid traces his family roots to Serbia; Isaac Herzog’s lineage goes back to Ireland; and even Itamar Ben-Gvir, the extremist leader of the settler movement, descends from an Iraqi immigrant family.
These are the figures who, through political and military decisions, determine the life and death of millions of Palestinians—men who came from other lands to build an artificial state in occupied geography, erasing an indigenous nation.
From Migration to Genocide: Story of a Colonial Project
During the latest assaults on Gaza and the West Bank, official international sources report that more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 150,000 wounded. These numbers are not mere statistics; they are testimony to a human catastrophe reminiscent of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—with the difference that this time, the bombs fall upon defenseless children in Gaza.
This genocide is the direct outcome of a project that began in the 1940s with the backing of British and American colonial powers. Zionism was never a religious movement, but rather a political design to plant a Western outpost in the heart of the Middle East.
Leaders of migrant origin—from Poland, Romania, Morocco, or Ukraine—gradually replaced the native inhabitants. With military and financial support from the West, they turned occupation into “law” and murder into “security.”
Identity Crisis in the Shadow of Blood
A regime built upon scattered migrants now faces a profound identity crisis. How can it claim to be the “Promised Land” when none of its leaders are from that land? This internal contradiction is the root of Israel’s unrest—a regime defined not by connection to its soil but by the blood of its native people and the backing of foreign powers.
Within this context, Palestinian resistance is not merely a political movement but the natural reaction of a displaced nation standing against armed settlers who arrived from Poland, Ireland, Hungary, or Iraq. Every bomb dropped on Gaza is not only an assault on Palestinian territory but an assault on historical truth: that the rightful owners of this land still live—and will one day return.
Today, the Zionist regime reveals its truest face more clearly than ever: a state without roots, devoid of humanity, trapped in an endless cycle of violence and fear. What unfolds in Gaza is not merely a military confrontation, but a clash between two enduring truths—the truth of occupation and the truth of rightful claim.
