In order to mask their ideology and demonise their victims, leaders and advocates of today’s Fascism argued with audacity that the enemies are “Jihadists”, “insurgents” and “Islamic fascists”. Extremist such as Bin-Laden and al-Zarqawi (‘al-Qaeda’) – wearing traditional dress and beards –, were created and financed by the U.S. and its agents and used as label to distort the images of Islam and Muslims. The root causes of violence today are not “Islamo-Fascism”, but Israel-U.S. Fascism that intended on world-domination.

Pretexts such as the non-existence of “threat” of acquiring Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and “terrorism” are instantly created to justify violence and distort the images of people resisting violence. We know that Israel and the U.S. Pose serious threat to world peace. Indeed, the governments of the U.S. and Israel hold a virtual monopoly on violence and terrorism to enforce their ideology. As Philip Cannistraro, a professor of History at Florida State University rightly wrote; “Violence as a creative force is an important aspect of Fascism philosophy” and political ideology.

The so-called “War on Terror” is just a smokescreen to instil fear and justify violence and repression. It is fuelling anti-Muslims hatred and spreading Islamophobia throughout the World, particularly in the West. As it was during Fascism, fear is used to scare the public and justify new repressive “anti-terror” laws, specifically targeting Muslims. As a result, harassment of Muslims has increased dramatically and racism has reached an appalling scale. In addition, the “War on Terror” and its ongoing seasonal “terror alerts” are used to obfuscate and distract public attention from the atrocities committed against innocent civilians in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Afghanistan.

Before the rise of Fascism, Germany and Italy were liberal democracies preaching “tolerance” and “free speech”. However, once the promotion of false patriotism, negative nationalism and blind submission to authority were promoted, things started to change and rapid descent into Fascism took place. Hatred for Arabs and Muslims is quickly replacing Hitler’s hatred for communists and Jews.

The war on Muslim nations and the ongoing threat directed against Syria and Iran is part of an Israeli-U.S. war. Israel, supported by U.S. Zionist ideologues (the “Neo-cons”), has embarked on a permanent war of domination in the Middle East. Although the U.S. shares Israel’s Zionist ideology and provides Israel with weapons, money and political support, Israel must be held responsible for violating international law and perpetuating war crimes.

It is counterproductive branding any criticism of Israel’s terror as “anti-Semitism” and trying to shield Israel and deflect the main responsibility of Israel’s war crimes on the U.S. If Israel is just a U.S. proxy force, as most U.S. intellectuals and pundits allege, why are Turkey and Egypt not playing this lucrative role? Israel can choose to renounce violence and pursue its own peaceful coexistence.

It all started in 1947-1948, when some 400 Palestinian villages were destroyed, thousands of Palestinians were murdered and more than 750,000 Palestinians were forced to flee their homes to neighbouring countries. This well-orchestrated ethnic cleansing often referred to by Jewish Zionists and their Western supporters as the “war for independence”. In reality, it was not a war, but one defenceless nation was wiped off the map, and a Zionist entity of European Jews was established on its foundation. “Israel would not exist today had it not been for its systematic massacres of the Palestinian population in 1948”, writes Azmi Bishara, the Palestinian author and member of the Israeli Knesset.
