The U.S. government certainly doesn’t have to be “manipulated” into foreign interventions, in Israel or virtually anyplace else. It willingly intervenes and needs no encouragement. From Finian Cunningham at strategic-culture.su:
We should never forget the order of things, that the Zionist regime is an attack dog for U.S. imperialism.
It is, in my opinion, a crucial mistake to view United States-Israeli relations in terms of individual politicians in Washington and Tel Aviv purportedly manipulating each other.
A recent article by my colleague Alastair Crooke contended that U.S. President “wily Joe Biden” is being outplayed by “the fox”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Alastair is a seasoned diplomat and his views merit respectful attention.
However, that view implies that the catastrophe of genocide in Gaza is a result of Netanyahu hoodwinking and maneuvering the White House to support Tel Aviv’s criminal aggression. Ergo, the escalating conflicts and U.S. involvement in the region, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Yemen.
For a start, to attribute the disaster of U.S. support for Israel to the incompetence of one politician – Joe Biden – is not factually correct. Several senior members of the Biden administration have all given their personal, unwavering support for Israel’s military offensive on Gaza. They include Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Furthermore, there is overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress from Republicans and Democrats for the continuing massacre by Israeli forces in Gaza, having been conducted for nearly 80 days with up to 28,000 deaths, mainly among women and children, according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.
The U.S. has supplied over 10,000 tonnes in munitions to Israel since October 7. The Pentagon and State Department have both candidly admitted there is no prohibitions or restrictions on how Israel deploys these explosives in densely crowded areas, which include 1-tonne bunker-buster bombs that have been dropped on refugee camps in Gaza.
Also bear in mind the Washington foreign policy establishment stands full square behind Israel’s de facto Final Solution to ethnically cleanse two million Palestinians from Gaza and forcibly expel them to the Sinai Peninsula. Only, last week the Israeli President Isaac Herzog was applauded by the deep state think-tank, the Atlantic Council, when he outlined plans for erasing Gaza.
Max Headroom preezy of the steezy 2024.
It couldn’t get any worse?
Captain Smirk approves this message and isn’t ironic how the FUSA is a vassal itself…to Israel.
What if the rump vassals in Europastan ever notice?
I kid!
