If the gloves are off from the blood-soaked hands of Israel and the United States, then the gloves should come off for the rest of the world to tell them what they think of their genocidal actions and brutality.
There’s no longer any pretence, no false humility, no drawing of the veil from either country. All lip service has been given up and the real aim and intentions of the U.S. and Israel have been made very, very clear. Many Israeli leaders have bellowed their hatred towards the Palestinians. They don’t care who listens or what the international community thinks. The following exclamations are not made up, they are real words of real Israeli hatred towards the Palestinians.
They’re sub-human animals
Bury them alive
Kill them all
From spineless Biden we have –
Hamas is the other team.
Please Israel, be more careful (as we supply you with more ammo)
These two countries are partners in crime and the world won’t forget. The utter shamefulness of vetoing a UN resolution for a ceasefire will also not be forgotten. There are 195 countries and we are watching only 2 countries dictate the future for the remaining 193. We are allowing just 2 aggressive countries to destroy any possibility of world peace when many of us believed we were all rowing in the same direction to steer the peace ship towards a better life for all – not towards the rocks. Silly us. America, the most powerful nation, has said with their UN veto, ‘No! Keep killing women and children and innocent civilians’. We may fall into a vortex which will take decades to crawl out of if the 193 countries don’t vehemently object to the savage decimation and attempted genocide taking place.
No country is immune from the ravages of a greedy and voracious United States. No country in the Middle East is immune from the ravages of a greedy and voracious Israel. And together they are the two-headed beast that other countries (or collectively Europe) are too scared to slay with words of mass objection and a demand to not only a ceasefire but an end to the Occupation of the Palestinian people. It could be done. Just a few phone calls and all this evil would be stopped in its tracks. But no, Israel and the United States seem hell bent on irradicating Palestine and Palestinians. If I hear one more lame lip-service load of BS spouting from the mouth of weak-willed Biden, I think I will lose all shred of hope that the U.S will realise they have crossed over to the incorrect side of history. These two countries have a colossal self-regard and planet Israel-United States needs a gravity pull towards humanity.
Be careful when you think of these trials and tribulation thousands of miles away and think ‘it could never happen to us’. I don’t imagine Afghanistan and Iraq thought that their beautiful countries would be decimated and left broken and traumatised. Your country could be next. Never think that the playground bully won’t come for your jugular when you are on your lunch break. Don’t get lulled into a false sense of security because any country is fair game if they go against the United States. John Mearsheimer himself said, ‘you don’t want to go against [the U.S.] you don’t know how nasty we can be’. It’s not only countries in the Middle East who suffer the vengeance and ramifications of a bullying United States. Anytime they are challenged as to their greedy and cruel foreign policies they will lash out.
It clearly suits the United States perfectly to make a shit load of money for the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) and to allow the genocide to take place in Palestine because they do not want to relinquish their foothold in an area of the world that is bubbling with oil underneath. They have no interest in fair trade relations with the countries of the Middle East, they want to be the bully, the ringleader and they want the final say. Trump said only one thing right, “America first”. Everybody (other than their buddy Israel) not only comes second, third or fourth but barely rate a mention in regard to humanity and care for the rest of the people in this world that we share.
Both the United States and Israel were created from a religious foundation and look where their religions have got them. One holds doggedly to their belief in being God’s people and the other holds doggedly to their idea that they alone are the shining beacon on the hill of democracy and morality. It’s not reasonable that they hold forth the Bible and expect the entire world to endure the outcome of their claims of either being chosen or being exceptional and living out their ‘manifest destiny’. The U.S. is a Christian nation committing crimes that would have Jesus rolling in his grave if he existed. His father, God, would surely be absolutely horrified to know that his chosen people have decided that they will choose whom they are going to murder with impunity.
It beggars belief that many strong and wealthy nations let the U.S. and Israel have their way of violence. The US has rampant gun crime, a collapsing social system, homelessness and disillusionment and rife drug epidemics. Israel is a military colonial-settler Occupier with a violent past and present. “A house divided against itself cannot stand”, was Abraham Lincoln’s sage warning. Israel is so divided by racism, history and disputed orthodoxy that it cannot withstand this latest hell hole and still expect to have societal cohesion. There will be the added strain of withstanding anti-Israel (not anti-Semitic) sentiments from the global community.
Are we truly going to let such heartless and internally crumbling nations guide us into the future?
