Witchery, Weak Men and Western Feminism’s Treachery

Dannon's Absurd Comments Towards Francesca Albanese

Accusations of Witchcraft

“Israeli” envoy Danny Danon’s accusations of witchcraft towards special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese in Tuesday’s UN General Assembly session were more than just shockingly unbecoming taunts from a supposed political representative towards a senior UN figure and human rights expert, within a setting that calls for more dignified conduct; they were indicative of much more disturbing trends.

Albanese, a woman who displays true dignity and integrity and who has staunchly maintained her position despite numerous personal attacks and slanderous slurs, did not stoop to his level; but the resounding silence as usual from the Western institutions who claim to represent the most enlightened “country” in the Middle East is always notable in the face of “Israel’s” ludicrous behaviours and unrestrained vitriol.

Danon’s comments suggest the fear that has always driven weak men when faced with a woman of strength or unfathomable qualities; accusations of witchcraft resound throughout the annals of history, the classic response from inadequate men confronted with what is beyond their puny intellect - in this case, a woman who refuses to be cowed or intimidated by belligerent displays of “strength” and who will not be scared by threats nor brought with money, as the majority of Western politicians have allowed themselves to be.

For what Albanese embodies is real power – the power of someone who has clarity and strength in their convictions; she doesn’t need armies at her back or shields of any kind, metaphorical shields like the holocaust grand excuse or the use of third parties to prop up a flailing ego. She is the real deal, and as such, she is powerful in ways that cowards instinctively recognize and recoil from. Hence the bizarre episode of the “Israeli” representatives seeming delusional meltdown.

While such occurrences are minor in the scheme of current issues – “Israel’s” further flagrant violation of the ceasefire and its killing of more than 100 Palestinians in a day, whilst accusing Hamas of violations – they are a stark reminder of the psychoticism of a society that continually brandishes its self-ordained status of “only democracy in the Middle East” while behaving in every way at odds with this.

In actual fact “Israel” is a deeply toxic society that thrives on the most staggering inequity and power imbalance that is stitched into its very make-up. Even the ex-head of Mossad, Tamir Pardo, in 2023 declared that “Israel” is imposing apartheid on the Palestinians, a statement that echoes what every major human rights organisation has been saying for years, and something that “Israel” attempts to deny in numerous ways every day, not least with its recent campaign to whitewash its image – once again, through not only remunerating influencers but via its cheesy “fun” videos that foreground young people of mixed races dancing together and LGBT displays, which it has frequently deployed in its quest to seem progressive.

The latest pathetic attempts to disseminate its stomach turning hasbara and draw a veneer of respectability over genocide, is in the true vein of a narcissist who rather than correcting his behaviour, attempts to clean the mirror that reflects his distorted and ugly visage.

The incredible Francesca Albanese - striking fear into the “hearts” of Zionists everywhere

“Israel’s” Cowardice is its Hallmark

“Israel” is populated with weak men; men who have been coddled and fed with the delusional belief that guns and military uniform equal strength, and that tough talk is a substitute for bravery. The young people conscripted into the “IDF” are trained into a system of racist hatred, as the recent video of young women doing synchronized “cardio” training to chants of “we will burn your villages” pointedly displayed.

This no more constitutes military training, than does young men taking a video game approach to sniping children, or posing in their fatigues as if they are real soldiers; a number of videos circulating online show young “Israelis” bragging about how many Palestinian babies they have killed - but I have yet to see a video of a young “Israeli” soldier fighting one to one with a Palestinian man.

The “training” that these privileged teens undergo, is merely a hyped-up version of adrenalized hate marching, a teenage style flex, and their notions of fighting are not grounded in any reality – their weapons may make them feel invincible, but the more invincibility is manufactured by weapons, the less substance there is beneath it.

Real fighting happens when people are fighting for their land, and are prepared to fight to the death, much as Sinwar did in his last moments. The “Israeli’s” know this deep down, because if they were real men they wouldn’t brutalize children or pose in ladies underwear; if they were real men they wouldn’t harass females in any way they can, behaviour which is evidenced in real life as well as online.

Cowardice of the yellowest kind is the hallmark and province of the “Israeli”, a cowardice that is based on false inflated delusions of grandeur embedded in the matrix of Jewish supremacy and exceptionalism.

“Israeli’s” just assume that they are superior and a master race, and just as in the narcissist, these ideas are never reality-tested, because they never face true challenges – not in everyday life and not on the battleground, with the US as their shield from true combat. Hence their assumptions remain rigidly in place, bolstered by the impunity that arises from global pandering and Western support; and this is not the stuff that makes soldiers or generates true courage.

When “Netanyahu” repeatedly calls for Hamas to disarm, it is because even with the meagre equipment that Hamas has relative to the heavily funded “Israel” with their plethora of weapons – guns, bombs, tanks, drones, white phosphorus – Hamas possesses something that they can never have, and that is real courage.

If “Netanyahu” could ask Hamas to disarm from their courage, he would – but instead, he uses the blackmail of the Dahiya doctrine – show courage and we will kill civilians.

Danon’s Diarrhoea in the Face of Fear

Danon’s spurts of verbal diarrhoea in the UNGA session were characteristic of his fellow “countrymen” – and women – in terms of their public behaviour and interactions – crude, puerile and sorely lacking in any awareness of public perception, the hysterical rantings of those who are mentally children but with the inflated ego’s and malice of true malignant narcissists.

Their bizarre diatribes and openly genocidal pronunciations, talk of Amalek, ethnic cleansing and leaving no Palestinians alive, point to deep seated pathologies that instead of being held up on the global stage as examples of the psychoticism that they clearly are, are instead excused time and time again, an impunity that fuels further crudeness, cowardice, lack of finesse and downright stupidity.

It is with brazen and almost drunken arrogance that an exemplar of “Israeli” statesmanship calls the UN special rapporteur a “witch” on the global stage, but the irony is that the “witch” trope has long been reclaimed by Western feminism that likes to enact its performativity on a very rhetorical and image-based level; “witch” and other traditionally female-characterized insults, frequently labelled the result of patriarchy and misogyny have been recast as terms denoting instead, empowerment and agency.

So although we can count on none of the so called western feminists who haven’t yet spoken up about Gaza, to criticize “Israel” in the larger context of their ongoing pretence that “Israel” is the only democracy in the Middle East supposedly set in opposition to the apparently backward countries around them – you know, the ones who don’t have policies of raping women and sniping children in a different body part every day – we can laugh at the use of such a term as “witch” to describe Ms Albanese.

For, to the degree that Francesca Albanese’s unflinching stance on “Israel’s” genocide, her integrity and courage that unhesitatingly continues to speak truth to power, strike fear into the hearts of weak, inadequate and pathetic little men like Danon - and by extension all his “Israeli” compatriots - we can agree that Albanese is a figure of power, and a woman who radiates real inner strength. Therefore, she may well be what weak men perceive to be a “witch”. If so, we can only pray that she uses her powers to turn a nation of toads back into humans.
