Gaza Genocide and Israel's Role as a Co-Imperial Power

An analysis of an interview with Argentine economist Claudio Katz, who in his book 'The Palestinian Epic' examines the Gaza genocide as part of a global settler colonial strategy, supported by the United States. The author argues that this confirms Israel's role as a co-imperial power and that the two-state solution is definitively dead, despite the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people.


Gaza Genocide and Israel's Role as a Co-Imperial Power

The genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip is not a punctual and localized fact, as a group of power where Zionist leadership, military, and Israeli officials - led by Benjamin Netanyahu - the Trump administration, and major media outlets try to show. This confirms Israel's role as a co-imperial power alongside the United States. Economist and analyst Claudio Katz, in his book 'The Palestinian Epic,' uses Gaza as a starting point to unravel the global push-and-pull, tensions, and resistances, always focusing on the United States' responsibility for destabilizing countries on five continents, with the perpetual support of Israel. Katz builds bridges of reflection that unite the resistance of the Palestinian people and the current situation in the Middle East, the 'coimperial' impunity of the United States and Israel with recent military attacks on Venezuela and the tightening of the economic blockade on Cuba, and the economic decline of Washington and the geopolitical movements of Russia and China. The genocide in Gaza is not just a local conflict but part of a broader settler colonialism strategy aimed at extermination, not exploitation. This policy, which began in Argentina under Carlos Menem, has led to the loss of sovereignty and subordination to Israel. The current situation confirms that the two-state solution is a fantasy, and Israel is consolidating a new phase of colonialism. The 'Peace Council' created by Donald Trump to control Gaza is a contradictory project that consecrates the genocide, as it excludes Palestinians and aims for territorial annexation. Despite the tragedy, Palestinian resistance shows heroism, and the solidarity movement is becoming a global campaign that goes beyond Latin America. This resistance, in the author's view, is legitimate and heroic, unlike the terrorist actions of Israel itself.
