Are We About To See The Creation Of A SECOND ISRAEL?

Right, so is the real prospect of the mistake that was the creation of the state of Israel at the expense of the people of Palestine about to be repeated? Well not only could it be repeated, but exactly the same nations would be the perpetrators of it again as well, namely the US and the UK, the idiotic white supremacist and racist colonial ideologies of more than 75 years ago are still present in the administrations of those nations today, and Israel itself is very much on board with the idea, because contrary to any notion that perhaps they are now so unhinged that Western powers need a replacement, this is actually being done all in Israel’s benefit, because when is it not?
As has been widely reported for some time, Donald Trump has a plan for Gaza, involving big gold statues of himself, casinos hotels, the lot. Israel itself, especially the hard right settler elements in government are completely on board with this as well. All they need is somewhere to send all those Gazans that they don’t want. Well, have they finally found somewhere in which case and who’d be made enough to accept this deal? Watch on and find out.
Right, so history does have a cruel habit of repeating itself, even the most depraved and desperate acts that we all say never again about. This really ought to be one of them, the creation of the state of Israel, the illegal seizure of land from indigenous people to dump a load of white Europeans in, has been getting on for 80 years of disaster, not least for the Palestinian people, but it wasn’t the first time british imperial interests did this and so it appears it won’t be the last either. Western powers driven by geopolitical interests and colonial legacies – fantasies - decide the fate of marginalised peoples without their consent and so it seems this could be the fate for the Palestinian people of the Gaza Strip all over again.
In 1948, the United States and the United Kingdom played pivotal roles in the creation of Israel, established at the expense of Palestinian displacement, dispossession, and decades of suffering. It triggered regional war from the get go, the Nakba, the 6 day war, Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, an unmitigated disaster which is why for as much as the West gleefully accepts the state of Israel and bends to its will over and over, a great many nations don’t acknowledge Israeli statehood at all.
Now, in 2025, those exact same powers—alongside Israel itself—appear to be orchestrating another catastrophic ethnic cleansing campaign, this time seeking to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza to a new home a second Israel if you will, and the hoped for target for all of this is Somaliland, the globally unrecognised breakaway state on the Horn of Africa, having split away from Somalia in 1991.
This plan bears disturbing echoes of the Nazi-proposed Madagascar Plan, which of course sought to deport European Jews to the then French colony off the coast of East Africa as a "solution" to the so-called "Jewish question." The bitter irony is that Israel, a state born in part at least from the trauma of that same Jewish persecution, is now facilitating the mass expulsion of Palestinians—echoing the very crimes once inflicted upon Jews. Meanwhile, the US and UK, despite their professed commitments to human rights, are complicit in what could become one of the largest forced displacements in modern history and an event that many of us would have never imagined being repeated, consigned to the history books as such a move should be.
Since the beginning of Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza following the events of October 7th, but most notably since Donald Trump floated support for such an idea, Israeli officials have openly discussed the expulsion of Palestinians from the Strip. It has been reported recently, that aside from US attempts to find a suitable location to enact Trump’s plan for Gaza, that Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered Mossad to seek African and Asian countries willing to accept forcibly displaced Gazans. This had not been going well, nobody wanted to be party to war crimes the US and Israel were guilty of, were advocating here, forced displacement of a population meets the definition of genocide and anyone aiding in that is a criminal too. This also aligns with earlier statements by far-right Israeli ministers advocating for the "voluntary migration" of Palestinians which was just a blatant euphemism for ethnic cleansing.
In this modern age, all of this is chillingly reminiscent of 20th century European colonialism: when indigenous populations resist occupation, remove them. Israel is a state founded in part due to the forced displacement of Jews from Europe and yet they now, despite their history is replicating that same violence against Palestinians, but this really has nothing to do with Judaism and everything to do with Zionism. This is an ideological war crime, not a religious one.
And so this brings us to Somaliland, potentially Israel 2.0. The US, under Donald Trump’s insanity, has reportedly explored formally recognising Somaliland, it is currently an unrecognised statelet, no nation on Earth actually recognises Somaliland currently, in exchange for accepting Palestinians ethnically cleansed from Gaza. This move would actually serve multiple purposes for the US:
It gets rid of the Gazan people from Gaza, giving either Trump or Israel free reign to take over wholesale.
It would allow the US to establish a new military presence, a new military foothold near the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and it would serve to counter growing Chinese influence in the area, China having a port in neighbouring Djibouti, which welcomes Iranian shipping amongst others, which the US cannot cope with.
The UK, though not formally recognizing Somaliland, has maintained strong economic and political ties due to its colonial history in this region as well, because just like Palestine was carved up by the UK to create Israel out of British colonialism, Somaliland remains significantly tied to UK interests too.
British businesses have invested heavily in Somaliland’s ports and infrastructure, mirroring pre-1948 British interests in Palestine, hence the UK’s role in possibly facilitating a repeat of some abhorrent history.
Is it all that simple though? Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after a brutal civil war. Though it functions as a de facto state with its own government, currency, and security forces, no UN member recognizes it. Its economy is the 4th lowest in terms of GDP in the world, in part due to that lack of recognition because it can’t easily trade its own currency, and relies heavily on remittances and trade through the port of Berbera, Somaliland’s main trade being in livestock.
There are significant parallels with Pre-1948 Palestine though.
Again there is that British colonial legacy. Just as Britain controlled Palestine under a League of Nations mandate, it governed Somaliland as a protectorate until 1960.
Somaliland is also strategically valuable, as aforementioned and where Palestinians had to make way for European Jews, so now may Somalilanders have to make way for Gazans, though for the people of Gaza, should they be sent there, nothing will dramatically change.
Somaliland is not a safe haven. Political repression, clan-based discrimination, and crackdowns on dissent suggest that Palestinians sent there could face further persecution. Moreover, the region lacks the infrastructure to support a sudden influx of refugees, meaning Gazans could be confined to camps—echoing the very conditions they are kept in in Gaza, exchanging one open air prison for another.
Where Somaliland might be a strategically important location though, it is also a vulnerable one.
For example should the US establish a base in Somaliland, it would be that direct challenge to Chinese presence in neighbouring Djibouti, but only serve to destabilise the area around the Gulf of Aden and Bab-al-Mandeb Strait even more than it already is with the Houthis of Yemen blockading shipping in that area.
The Houthis themselves are also a significant factor here. While having a US base so close to Yemen might be thought of as strategically advantageous to the US, it also paints a mighty target on Somaliland, there are as an example less than 300 nautical miles between the US’ often hit Yemeni target of Hodeidah and the Somaliland port of Berbera.
There then comes the risk that the Gazan people could be used as human shield by the US or Somaliland in order to shield themselves from Houthis attacks, which are very much inside their range and Somaliland has nothing like the air defences, or any defences to speak of in the way that Israel does.
So the biggest question therefore, will Somaliland sell out in exchange for state recognition and the boost to its economy that would come with that, or is this a price too high for them to be prepared to pay
Somaliland’s leaders may see US recognition as a path to legitimacy, but in doing so, they risk becoming a pawn of US and Israeli interests when they sit too uncomfortably close to Middle Eastern nations they rely on for trade as things stand. It would make them pariahs like Israel to become Israel 2.0, so there would have to be massive economic incentives provided for this, for them to agree to such a repugnant and morally bankrupt plan, yet it cannot be ignored that the central plank of Somaliland’s President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi is international state recognition and this is being dangled there in exchange for a US base in Berbera and should US interests take over the state, the state recognised then as it would presumably be, would be completely reliant on Western protections from its neighbours, much like Israel is.
We’re at a point with this story where, instead of saying never again, Western powers are looking at doing it again in relation to forcible displacement of entire populations.
The US and UK, which claim to uphold human rights, are already facilitating genocide in their support for Israel, their arming of Israel, their surveillance flights for Israel, but this would make them party to ethnic cleansing too. Their support for this plan exposes the hypocrisy of their foreign policy: "Never again" applies only to certain victims, not Palestinians.
Meanwhile, speaking of the Houthis, it seems they might have been able to cripple the USS Harry S Truman, albeit temporarily in another escalation of their ability to take on the most powerful nation in the world’s navy without an actual navy of their own, another source of hilarity and embarrassment for the Trump regime in the Middle East as their attempts to forcibly stop the Houthis striking both those US assets and Israel in solidarity with the people of Gaza fails time and again.
