Once again the US stands alone against the entire world in opposing any ceasefire in GAZA.
I am ashamed and disgusted to be an American. Again. Why must we always be on the wrong side of history?
The day after vetoing another UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, “president” Biden cynically bypassed Congressional authorization in order to supply MORE AMMO and MORE WEAPONS to the genocidal IDF in their fight to destroy the Palestinian people.
The possibility of the USA withholding any portion of the aid package wasn’t even discussed.
The civilized nations of the world call for diplomatic solutions, negotiation and mediation. The USA’s solution is to send more weapons, bypassing its own laws and contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of the planet.
The military Junta that runs the show in the USA is not interested in peace of any kind. Their only goal is to sell more weapons.
Countries with actual functioning, representative governments have all joined the UN in calling for an immediate ceasefire. But the American Junta is able to bypass congress and override our own laws in order to supply more weapons to the evildoers, with virtually no restrictions on their use.
To the tune of $104 Billion dollars: on top of the hundreds of billions in aid and logistics we already give Israel! Disgusting.
As if more proof were needed regarding who’s really in charge, look no further than the 2024 NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act]. Despite the current political environment of severe partisanship and deep divisions between the political parties – at least to the outside observer – Biden is expected to sign off on the fucking $886 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET this week with total bipartisan support. It’s virtually the only thing Democrats and Republicans agree on: they know who pays their bills…
But do the Americans and the IDF really think Israel is going to be more safe once this military operation is over? Do they really think they can eradicate terrorism forever through the collective punishment of millions of refugees?
Of course they don’t. It’s just another cynical ploy to sell more weapons in future conflicts.
The hatred felt by the ultra-rightwing government of Israel towards the Palestinian people is palpable, and it’s clear that this genocidal campaign is guided by hatred and hatred alone. There is no logic or reason behind the slaughter. It’s a strategy for failure.
Netanyoohoo knew for over a year that HAMAS was planning to attack Israel. He sacrificed his own people in order to further his vile agenda of retribution against the Palestinians.
And it doesn’t matter how many refugee camps the IDF bombs. It doesn’t matter how many hospitals or shelters or critical infrastructure the IDF destroys. It doesn’t matter how many UN peacekeepers or journalists are purposely targeted in blatant disregard of international law. There will be no justice.
We are witnessing the largest mass extermination since the Rwandan genocide, which everyone pledged would never happen again...of course…
These are war crimes happening right before the world’s eyes in real time, and yet thanks to US intransigence, the international community is powerless to put an end the slaughter.
Netanyoohoo and his cohorts are criminals of the highest order. They should be brought to justice for crimes against humanity. But we all know that ain’t gonna happen.
All the United Nations [and the rest of the world] can do is protest. Yawn.
But the killing must go on, you see. We must feed the WAR MACHINE at all costs. The globe is enveloped by war, strife, ethnic violence and endless suffering. Just what the Junta demands! Record profits for the warmongers! More blood for Moloch!
We will never have peace in our lifetimes. Not as long as the world is in the grip of genocidal psychopaths who demand a constant flow of human blood for their survival.
This does not bode well for humanity. We’re all basically fucked.
But hey, another tRump regime is just around the corner. Then the fun really begins!
