Random Note — Where is this place called Palestine? The UN are the new Romans with the same 2000 year old playbook.

Where is this place called Palestine?

There’s the West Bank (the Biblical Judea and Samaria), there’s Gaza, but apart from a name given by the Romans in an attempt to erase Jewish presence in 132AD, in 2024 Palestine exists in name only.

This time it’s the exact same playbook but instead of the Romans attempting to erase Jewish presence, it is the UN trying to conjure something out of whole cloth and erase Jewish presence.

The method remains the same as it did 2000 years ago.

It’s all about branding, badging and shapeshifting followed by intense indoctrination and the marketing of the new reality.

It’s about perception becoming reality. Because with the imprimatur of the UN, Palestine must, by definition, exist.

But where? We know where.

What we’re dealing with here is the next phase of the “𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚” meme. Again, just like the Romans it’s about erasing what exists with something that doesn’t exist.

How can a place, (think, defined borders and a nation state) be admitted to the United Nations when no such nation actually exists.

It is the quintessential cart before the horse. An endeavour to reverse engineer something that doesn’t exist by willing it into existence.

It’s a twist on the Rene Descartes thought experiment, “I think therefore I am”.
