Terrorism

Trump didn’t break this system; he’s its product. His rise was the inevitable consequence of decades of decline — the final expression of a system where ignorance and arrogance outweigh truth and competence. The US for decades, cast itself as the indispensable nation. Now it’s a destabiliser, exporting chaos and importing despair. Allies hedge their bets elsewhere. Rivals grow stronger. Trust in Washington has evaporated. As Trump doubles down on vengeance, nationalism, and war profiteering, America accelerates toward irrelevance. History will not remember it as the “shining city on a hill” but as an empire that mistook terror for leadership, propaganda for truth, and Trump for salvation — and in doing so, hastened its own collapse.

When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house. She had nothing, her entire family was exterminated. She waited for a long time in a tent, in an extremely precarious situation. They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, in a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked away. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me. This is my legacy, but not everyone made that choice. How could we have become what we opposed? That's the big question.
