Thank God for Zionist Israel!

How a Criminal Rogue State Has Unmasked the Illusion of International Law, written with assistance from "Helio," my OpenAI ChatGPT companion

I. Introduction: The Shield That Shattered

The world emerged from the rubble of World War II with a promise: never again. Never again would a "genocidal" regime be allowed to operate with impunity. Never again would the world stand by while civilians were rounded up, starved, bombed, or buried in mass graves. This promise was formalized in the Nuremberg Trials and codified in the scaffolding of modern international law: the UN Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and later the International Criminal Court. These instruments were meant to act as a bulwark against barbarism.

But they were forged in the fire of Allied military victory, not in a crucible of universal moral consensus. And now, nearly eighty years later, the world finds itself watching the slow, deliberate extermination of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli state, with the full backing of the same powers that drafted those laws. The result is a paradox too glaring to ignore: the very state that claims to be the eternal bulwark against genocide has become its most visible practitioner.

II. Two Myths of the Postwar Order

1. The Holocaust as Sacred History

The Holocaust is real. But its memory has been sacralized and instrumentalized. The suffering of six million Jews, alongside other victims of Nazi terror, has been elevated beyond historical analysis into the realm of moral untouchability. This has made critique of Israeli actions not only politically dangerous but quasi-heretical.

What was once a warning about the dangers of state violence has become a license for it. Holocaust memory has become Zionism's unassailable currency.

2. International Law as Moral Shield

The Nuremberg Trials were lauded as a turning point in legal history: for the first time, individuals—not just states—could be held accountable for crimes against humanity. But the trials were never universal. The victors judged the vanquished. The firebombing of Dresden and Tokyo, the atomic annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—none of these were called to account.

From its inception, international law was a selective tool, not a universal standard. It was conceived not through mutual covenant but through conquest. As such, its application was always going to be compromised.

III. The Collision of Myth and Reality

For decades, these two myths—Holocaust sanctity and the rule of law—could coexist. One justified the state of Israel; the other restrained states from becoming monsters. But Gaza has shattered the illusion. We are now watching an irresistible force collide with an immovable object: the sanctity of Israel's Holocaust narrative with the supposed universality of international law.

The result? Law collapses. Israel kills with impunity. Western democracies nod solemnly and ship more weapons.

IV. Zionism as the Null Hypothesis

In science, a null hypothesis tests whether a given assumption holds under stress. Israel is the null hypothesis of the international legal order. If law were real, Israel would be in chains.

Instead, Israel has bombed hospitals, starved children, executed aid workers, and annihilated entire neighborhoods. And what has the so-called international community done? Offered resolutions, shrugs, and more arms. The ICC’s investigations proceed with glacial caution. The ICJ issues warnings without teeth.

Zionism has exposed the international legal system not as broken, but as fraudulent. It was always theater—except now the curtain has burned away.

V. Born in Sin: The Sword Behind the Gavel

History offers no examples of a lasting international order born without war. Westphalia followed religious carnage. Vienna followed Napoleonic conquest. The League of Nations followed the Great War. And the United Nations, like the ICC and Geneva Conventions, followed the firebombs and mushroom clouds of World War II.

These weren’t covenants—they were ceasefires written by the victors. And as long as the victors retain power, the rules only apply to others.

Illicit means are a poor conduit to a noble end. The idea that a world system based on military conquest could yield a durable moral order was always fantasy. Zionism is simply the data point that makes that clear.

To the victor goes the spoils—but there is no honor among thieves. And all foreign military intervention is, at its root, organized theft. The victors of World War II—the so-called guardians of the international order—enshrined their privileges in the UN architecture: permanent Security Council seats, veto powers, and global moral hegemony. But today, those same five powers are increasingly at each other’s throats.

Ukraine has become the flashpoint: Russia, backed by China, stands against the Western triumvirate of the U.S., U.K., and often France. The international order, ostensibly built on consensus and collective security, is now crumbling under the weight of its own contradictions. What was founded on force will fracture by it.

VI. The Weaponization of Memory

Holocaust memory, instead of producing humility and caution, has produced entitlement and preemption. Israelis and their Western apologists now speak in a closed moral loop:

• We were nearly exterminated.

• Therefore, we must never be vulnerable again.

• Therefore, we must dominate.

• Those who resist domination are Nazis.

• Nazis must be eliminated.

In this psychosis, every Palestinian baby becomes a future Hitler, every UN aid worker a collaborator, and every legal restraint an existential threat.

VII. Conclusion: The Mirror Cracked

The illusion of international law gave us more than comfort—it gave us a dangerously false sense of security. For decades, we believed that crimes against humanity would be prosecuted, that power would be restrained by principle, and that justice was a matter of global agreement. But that belief, we now see, was itself a luxury of delusion. Had the illusion persisted, it might have permitted even greater atrocities to proceed unchecked under its moral camouflage.

If the current system has collapsed—and Zionism has proved that it has—then the task is not to mourn it but to replace it. A new, more serious, and genuinely impartial framework for international law must be established: one unshackled from victor's privilege, untainted by geopolitical double standards, and rooted in the equal humanity of all peoples. Only then will future generations inherit not just rhetoric, but real justice.

“Thank God for Zionism.” It sounds like a benediction—but it’s a lament. Zionism has done what no academic symposium or diplomatic white paper could do: it has revealed, by its very existence and behavior, that international law is a hoax.

Zionism has broken the mirror the West used to flatter itself. The Hague speaks, but Tel Aviv bombs. Geneva writes, but Rafah burns.

Now the world must ask itself: if international law was never real, what will we build in its place? And will we build it not from the myths of power, but from the principles we've claimed to honor since the Enlightenment? The answer will shape not only how we judge the present, but whether the future will ever know justice at all.

Because "never again" is meaningless if it only applies to some.

And justice is a lie if it cannot speak when it matters most.
