Israel uses Nazi term "New Order" for Beirut attack
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- The Israeli army has named its operation to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah "New Order," drawing comparisons to the infamous Nazi-era term. The announcement came after Israeli airstrikes killed Nasrallah, along with other Hezbollah leaders, including Ali Karaki, the commander of the southern front. In his first statement following the attack on Beirut's southern suburbs, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, "We have just begun… and we will work to change the Middle East." The term “New Order” was initially used by Nazi Germany to describe their plans for European domination and, eventually, world conquest. Adolf Hitler publicly declared his vision for a "European New Order" in January 1941, stating that it would be a pivotal year in establishing a new political order for Europe under Nazi control. Historians are divided on the full extent of Nazi Germany's New Order goals, but many believe it aimed at world conquest and the establishment of global dominance. Israel's use of the term has sparked controversy, given its historical context. The occupation state has been criticized in the past for mirroring Nazi-era practices. More than 80 years after Nazi Germany enacted the Nuremberg Race Laws, Israel's "nation-state law" has been likened to these laws, as it codifies “Jewish supremacy” and undermines the rights of Palestinian citizens. The law states that the right to self-determination in Israel is exclusive to the Jewish people, effectively stripping 1.7 million Palestinian citizens of their sovereignty. In addition to its controversial legislation, Israel has been running detention camps that bear a resemblance to Nazi-era concentration camps. Reports have also revealed that Israel conducts organ harvesting and medical tests on Palestinian prisoners. Israel's military proudly advertises that its weapons are "battle-tested" on Palestinians, further drawing comparisons to the Nazis' practices.
