The rulers of the U.S. look at what Israel is doing in Gaza as their model for dealing with rest of us in the U.S. From Karen Kwiatkowski at lewrockwell.com:
Western leaders stand by while the US has provided the bombs needed to destroy most of Gaza, concentrate two million of the population against an Egyptian wall, and kill over 30,000 people, the majority of which have been women and children. Last week’s US airdrops of 38,000 “meals” for 2 million starving people – starving because of our policy – is a bad joke.
Western leaders stand by as Israel conducts a straightforward expansion to what they tell themselves is unoccupied land, land they say God gave them to do with as they wish – and they wish to destroy all forms of non- Jewish life there. For this there is no punishment, only blessing and fulfillment of the law, made possible only by US weapons that have flowed freely, most of it funded by taxation and taxpayer debt.
Western leaders and their media are untouched by a US airman’s livestreamed self-immolation in protest of US support for Israeli-conducted genocide, collective punishment, calculated removal, extermination, and starvation of religious and ethnic groups.
The US Government has funded, is funding, and the Pentagon is surging the flow of arms and munitions, soldiers and contractors to Israel’s operation in Gaza – which is to say a genocide, collective punishment, calculated extermination and removal of a population for purely political and geographic gain. Nothing that Israel is doing in Gaza or the West Bank, or in southern Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East is improving Israel’s security. For a government to cultivate and channel fear and rage, among its own population and among its neighbors, in order to fight them, is a strategy doomed to failure in the long term, and we are witnessing that unfolding failure in real time today.
