The current Gaza crisis has violently stripped away the carefully crafted veneer around Zionism, revealing its true essence, brutal, racist, expansionist, and devoid of humanity. Zionism is not simply an Israeli political ideology; it has metastasized into a global network embedded inside the United States and other Western power structures.
