From Victims to Executioners: A Karmic Reckoning for Zion and the West

I. Karmic Return and the Collapse of Exceptionalism

On June 21, 2025, as B-2 bombers streaked across the night skies and bunker-busting ordnance cracked the bedrock of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, the illusion of American restraint shattered. President Donald Trump—returning to power not with reconciliation but with rupture—ordered the bombing of Iran's most fortified nuclear sites, igniting what may be remembered as the opening salvos of World War III. These were not just tactical strikes but ritual acts of geopolitical hubris, culminating decades of unrepented violence masquerading as virtue.

Israel, having spent generations invoking Holocaust memory as a shield against scrutiny, has now fully inverted its origin myth. Once the symbol of post-war survival, it now stands accused of implementing slow genocide in Gaza, criminalizing Palestinian existence, and dragging its warmongering, fearmongering, professional injustice collecting empire into yet another catastrophic war. And America—imperial, exceptionalist, and numb—follows suit, bombing in the name of peace while the ashes of Gaza still rise.

Rather than a defense of Iran - It is a requiem for the world order that believed it could bomb its way to moral supremacy.

II. Timeline of Atrocities: A Karmic Ledger (1948–2025)

Systemic Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity: A Timeline of Atrocities Against the Palestinian People (1948–2025)

April 9, 1948 – Deir Yassin Massacre

Jewish paramilitary groups Irgun and Lehi attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, killing between 100 and 250 civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. Eyewitnesses described rape, mutilation, and forced parades of the dead. This act of terror precipitated widespread fear and was a catalyst for mass Palestinian displacement.

1948–1949 – Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe

In the process of establishing the State of Israel, over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled or fled under threat. More than 500 villages were destroyed. The right of return was denied. This ethnic cleansing remains unacknowledged and unresolved.

October 14, 1953 – Qibya Massacre

Israeli forces under Ariel Sharon's Unit 101 raided Qibya, killing 69-77 civilians, including women and children. Homes, a school, and a mosque were destroyed. Survivors recounted families buried alive under rubble.

June 8, 1967 – USS Liberty Attack

Israeli jets and torpedo boats attacked the U.S. Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty in international waters, killing 34 and wounding 171. Despite clear identification markings, Israel claimed mistaken identity. The 34 Deaths of the USS Liberty incident was suppressed diplomatically.

June 1967 – Present – Military Occupation of West Bank and Gaza

Following the Six-Day War, Israel began a now 58-year-long military occupation. Over 130 illegal settlements were constructed. Human rights groups report systemic land theft, arbitrary arrests, checkpoints, and house demolitions. The occupation is the backbone of structural apartheid.

September 16–18, 1982 – Sabra and Shatila Massacre

Israeli-allied Lebanese Phalangists massacred between 1,300 and 3,500 Palestinian refugees in Beirut. Israeli forces controlled access to the camps, provided flares for night raids, and facilitated the killings. The Kahan Commission held Israel indirectly responsible.

March 16, 2003 – Rachel Corrie Killed

American peace activist Rachel Corrie was crushed by an Israeli bulldozer while trying to stop a home demolition in Rafah. No accountability followed. Her death exposed Israel's violent suppression of nonviolent international resistance.

December 27, 2008 – January 17, 2009 – Operation Cast Lead

A 22-day aerial and ground assault on Gaza killed 1,387 Palestinians, including 773 civilians and 320 children. White phosphorus munitions were used in populated areas. UN and NGO reports cited war crimes.

July 8 – August 26, 2014 – Operation Protective Edge

Over 2,100 Palestinians were killed, including 500+ children. The IDF shelled UN shelters and hospitals. Entire districts like Shejaiya and Rafah were obliterated. Human rights groups called for war crimes tribunals.

Sources: UNHRC; B’Tselem; The Guardian; Time Magazine

October 2024 – June 2025 – Siege and Genocide in Gaza

In an unprecedented aerial siege, Israel bombed Gaza daily for nine months. Between 55,000 and 72,000 Palestinians were killed. Gaza's health system collapsed. Food, water, and fuel were weaponized. Lavender AI Genocide Tracker and UN briefings confirmed systematic targeting of civilians, hospitals, schools, and aid convoys.

III. The Projection of Terror: Psychoanalyzing the Colonial Gaze

Modern colonial regimes do not merely conquer land—they colonize morality. The word "terrorist"—divorced from its historical and legal precision—has become a talisman of imperial projection. Israel, armed with the lexicon of existential threat, and the U.S., fluent in the dialect of regime change, have weaponized the term to invert reality: the bombed become the bombers, the besieged become the threat, the children in rubble become enemy combatants.

This projection is not denial. It is pure Freudian displacement: the colonizer casts his own darkest impulses onto the oppressed and, in so doing, absolves himself.

But we must ask plainly: who terrorizes whom?

IV. The Counter-Clocking: Russia, China, and the Multipolar Axis Assembles

While American and Israeli leaders cloak military aggression in the garments of security, an increasingly coherent multipolar bloc is rising to challenge the illusion of Western moral monopoly.

• Russia, framing Israel's siege of Gaza as a Leningrad-style war crime, has hosted Hamas delegations and condemned the U.S. bombing of Iran as "NATO's genocide by proxy."
• China, formerly cautious, now directly accuses Israel of war crimes and vetoes U.S.-led Security Council protections. State media editorializes that the era of "exceptional impunity" is over.
• Global South coalitions—from South Africa to Brazil—demand war crimes investigations and ICC prosecutions of Israeli and American officials.

This is not the Cold War redux. It is the birth of a new legal and rhetorical battlefield, where U.S. and Israeli state actors face a reckoning not just in headlines but in courtrooms.

V. Strategic Rearmament: Russia and China Fuel the Iranian Arsenal

In the years preceding the June 2025 strike, Russia and China quietly rebuilt Iran's strategic defenses:

• China shipped over 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate, a key solid fuel for missiles, to Iranian firms under opaque commercial guises.
• Russia supplied components for Su-35 fighters, Yak-130 trainers, S-300 upgrades, and co-developed drone guidance systems with Tehran.

These transfers—below the threshold of formal alliances—nonetheless shattered U.S. sanctions architecture and laid the groundwork for Iranian deterrence.

VI. June 21, 2025: The First Shots of World War III

The strike began before dawn. U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers, operating under Trump's direct order, released GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators onto three hardened Iranian nuclear facilities. Fordow, buried under 80 meters of mountain rock, was believed untouchable—until it wasn't.

Israel cheered. Trump declared victory. But the world held its breath.

Trump's opening salvo of World War III was not a targeted strike—it was a geopolitical earthquake. Global media lit up with headlines predicting escalation. Russian submarines were seen surfacing in the Caspian. Chinese destroyers moved into the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials promised asymmetric retaliation "across every front."

The implications are Biblical: one rogue superpower, goaded by an ethnostate in moral freefall, may have just ended Pax Americana. What begins with concrete cracking in Natanz may end with satellites falling and oil tankers burning.

We are past the brink. And the moral illusion has burned away.

VII. "Peace by Bombing": The Final Delusion of Israeli-American Morality

History will not be kind to the architects of this moment. Gaza's siege, now compounded by direct U.S. war with Iran, has stripped bare the Western mythology of peacekeeping. The empire does not protect—it provokes. Israel does not defend—it dominates. And the term "terrorist" has finally boomeranged back upon those who most righteously wielded it.

This is not merely a policy failure—it is a spiritual one. The karmic clock is not abstract—it is geopolitical, historical, and material.

God’s “Chosen” and Goading Stupid Trump Into World War III

Israel’s master victimhood is a polished veneer—worn with the proficiency of a state actor master of the play of eternal innocence. Draped in the mantle of "God’s chosen," it sermonizes moral superiority from the venerable stones of Jerusalem, while showering “made-in-USA” white phosphorus shells that cut searing holes through the fragile bodies of Gaza’s children. These firebombs—forbidden by global law but used with impunity—incinerate more than human flesh; they devour all pretense of holiness or justice.

The smoke wafts from destroyed classrooms where children once laughed, now quiet and crying. White phosphorus, that chemical outrage manufactured in American plants and used through Israeli weaponry, melts organs and bones alike—leaving children human torches. But Israel assumes victimhood upon the global stage, employing its history of suffering as an insurance policy against fault. The irony is ghastly: a martyry professed at the very same time it wields the guns that slaughter the innocent, victim and executioner at once in the world’s most tragic tragedy.

This is not divine retribution. It is secular savagery, sanctioned by geopolitical impunity and fueled by Western collusion. The god of moral exceptionalism they invoke is deaf to the sounds of screams, and the conscience of the world is heavy with every burned child.

Trump has promised to keep bombing and bombing until there is peace. In the ashes of Gaza and the irradiated dust of Isfahan, the world now sees clearly that the "exceptionalists" were never moral. They were armed. And now, they are alone.

June 22, 2025: The second day of open war between Iran, Israel, and the United States has unleashed a dramatic escalation across the Middle East. In response to the U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign that shattered Iranian nuclear facilities, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has launched a series of ballistic and cruise missile attacks deep into Israeli territory. Among the munitions confirmed via satellite and SIGINT interception are Fateh-110 short-range ballistic missiles, Zolfaghar and Dezful medium-range ballistic missiles, and the Paveh land-attack cruise missile. In the north, drones reportedly based in Syria and Iraq have also joined the retaliatory barrage, signaling the regional breadth of Iran’s asymmetric arsenal.

Yet these are not Tehran’s most formidable weapons. Military analysts acknowledge that Iran has deliberately held back its most advanced systems: the Kheibar Shekan, a third-generation precision-guided missile with a 1,450 km range; the Emad-3, equipped with maneuverable reentry vehicles capable of evading missile defenses; and the Haj Qassem, a solid-fueled MRBM developed with Russian aerodynamic guidance technology. Most ominous are the Sejjil-2 and the rumored Sejjil-3—two-stage, solid-fuel missiles with intercontinental reach. The strategic restraint appears calibrated: Iran is demonstrating capability without triggering full NATO or Gulf state engagement—yet.

Behind the carnage lies a deeper pathology—an empire infected by its own addiction to militarism and money. Every lever of U.S. foreign policy has been seized by a cabal of revolving-door profiteers: Pentagon officials turned defense contractors, retired generals moonlighting as cable news analysts, arms manufacturers underwriting think tanks and congressional campaigns. From CNN to Fox News, MSNBC to the New York Times, the "national security experts" who saturate the airwaves are little more than war-scented lobbyists with medals. They do not inform; they condition. They do not debate; they orchestrate the next contract.

The result is a national security state that is no longer strategic but metastatic. Israeli strikes become “defensive,” U.S. bombings become “surgical,” and every Iranian missile is framed as terrorism—even as Tel Aviv craters Gaza and Washington incinerates Natanz. This is not defense—it is commercialized catastrophe. Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman—these are the real authors of the American war story, and their script is always the same: eternal war, eternal profits.
