Scott Horton Show - Just the Interviews
The Zionist Project and the Democratic Illusion of Israel
The concept of Israel as a democracy stands in stark contrast to the historical and ongoing denial of self-determination for the indigenous Palestinian population. The establishment of Israel was fundamentally built on rejecting the rights of the land's original inhabitants, with the British mandate drafted to further Zionist aims at the expense of Palestinian autonomy. This belligerent occupation sought to prevent Palestinians from declaring independence, despite initial promises made to them during World War One. Contrary to a democratic framework proposed by Arabs for a unified Palestinian state with protections for minorities, the Zionist movement dismissed this solution in favor of establishing a state through violence and ethnic cleansing. The narrative that Israel emerged as a legally recognized state via UN resolution 181 is misleading; instead, it was formed through forceful expulsion of the majority of Palestinians, embodying characteristics of an apartheid regime that deeply contradict democratic values.
