Israel is a White Supremacist State

By KJ Freeman

I write this as a descendant of slaves. As a Black woman in America. My lineage is terror—not in theory, in blood. Lynching, breeding, rape, silence. This is not metaphor. This is the architecture of the state. A Black man was found hanging from a tree in Albany a day before Juneteenth. 2025. That’s not history. That’s now.

I live inside plantation logic. Rebranded as professionalism, policy, civility. Everything around me is engineered to train obedience. Survival repackaged as manners. Suffering camouflaged as stability. This is what they call order.

White supremacy isn’t hidden. It’s built into the grid. It’s police. It’s housing. It’s medicine. It’s your paycheck. It’s your silence. I don’t theorize it. I navigate it. I bleed under it.

And I recognize it abroad.

Israel is a white supremacist state. Built through forced removals. Sustained through apartheid. Sanitized by billion-dollar propaganda. This isn’t a complicated conflict. This is land theft backed by military occupation. It is settler colonialism perfected.

I know it because I’ve lived its prototype. I live inside the empire that designed it.

I am a product of redlining. My family fought for this country and came home to rot. My body was never protected. It was used. Offered up to preserve the illusion of white peace. Thrown into institutions to buffer white guilt.

There is always a price when you’re the oppressed. Your grief is labeled hysteria. Your rage becomes violence. Your resistance becomes a threat.

They love to talk about civility. But there is nothing civil about ritualized torture. There is nothing moral about starving families. Nothing sacred about using God’s name to justify genocide.

This is not faith. This is domination.

Israel is a terror state. It has weaponized intergenerational trauma and trained people to kill in the name of Zionism. Zionism is not survival. It is conquest. It is a white supremacist project cloaked in divine exceptionalism.

Ashkenazi Zionism is a racial hierarchy. It replicates colonial control—Palestinians as native threat, Mizrahi Jews as labor caste, Black Jews as invisible. It is the same caste logic that built the U.S. South.

Its function is to secure Western control of the region. Its reach extends into the African continent. It is not just displacing Palestinians. It is protecting capital, tech interests, arms exports, and geopolitical access to oil and water.

Israel is not a democracy. It is an ethnostate with military enforcement. It surveils, sterilizes, bombs, imprisons, erases. It labels any form of opposition as terrorism. It demands obedience and calls it peace.

It will use any tool: food as weapon, water as leverage, propaganda as smokescreen, death as strategy. This is population management by way of military terror.

And it will kill working-class American soldiers to protect its project. It already has. The U.S. bankrolls Israeli domination while cutting food stamps and raising rent at home.

Speak against this and they will ruin you. Smear you. Fire you. Call you antisemitic. They depend on the confusion. The manufactured collapse of Zionism into Judaism is part of the tactic. It protects the system by making critique untouchable.

Meanwhile, IDF soldiers grin on social media like modern-day poachers. They laugh over rubble. They celebrate death. They film ethnic cleansing like it’s brand content. They are not defending themselves. They are enforcing apartheid.

Terror is not collateral. It is the model.

This is not war. This is slaughter.

This is not defense. It is domination.

This is not two sides. It is genocide.

I write this as an angry Black woman. I write this as someone who has seen the eyes of men who look at you like cattle. Stalked. Tagged. Marked to be killed.

I write this as the hunted. As the surplus. As the body made to hold the weight of empire so that others can sleep. My survival is not apolitical. It is inconvenient.

Death to European exceptionalism.

Death to capitalism.

Death to patriarchy.
