The blood of NATO’s foes is of far less value than that of the people it supports. From Declan Hayes at strategic-culture.su:
Because the Palestinians have yet again shown that they can hit back at their overlords, the Israelis and the NATO gangsters who arm and fund them should reflect on their crimes to stem further bloodshed of both the “innocent” and the “guilty”.
The recent attack on Israeli forces and settlement camps by Gazan militants, chronicled here, and in more detail by Al Mayadeen, Haaretz and The Times of Israel, was both daring and provocative. The indiscriminate retaliatory response of the Israeli Air Force was as predictable as were the statements of condemnation by EU fat cat Ursula von der Leyen, Robert F Kennedy and similar nobodies.
The mealy mouthed statements of quasi gangster groups like Sinn Féin, who are no strangers to indiscriminate sectarian slaughter or taking hostages themselves, were as unhelpful as were the unhinged tweets in support of Hamas of safely retired former Hindu activist Tim Anderson and similar choirboys.
A quick Twitter trawl will give evidence galore of past Israeli and/or Palestinian barbarities. Though the Israeli Defence Forces’ tweets of female soldiers missing in action is supposed to pull at our heart strings (if we still have any), calumniating those female soldiers, who won’t be doing any more of their sex dancing for some time yet, is as childish as was their dance porn.
Though the statements of the Russian governments were much more measured and, as evidenced by the Arab League’s leaders flying to Moscow, more helpful, there is another, seemingly perennial dimension to all this that needs addressing.
That is, that there is a hierarchy of victims, that the blood of Israelis, Americans, Ukrainians and Europeans is more valuable than that of Armenians, Nigeriens, Russians, Syrians and Palestinians.
