Is the dehumanisation witnessed in Israel an isolated phenomenon or a manifestation of the broader approach that both Americans and Europeans, and the leaders they elect, employ in their global interactions? The utilisation of colonialist and settler methods, honed 'When the west was won' and elsewhere, is particularly intriguing in this 21st century context in Palestine and after this, who knows where. Doesn't this ongoing display serves as a live demonstration of well-established colonial tactics? Doesn't the voices of moderation from patriarchs in these societies seem to echo sentiments from the same historical playbook written with the blood of the past? Let's now sit back and enjoy the series called - how the West Bank is won.
