WWII, perhaps, many did not know about the Jewish holocaust and could cite or feign lack of knowledge and thus some sort of moral exemption. But this is different--so was the Vietnam invasion, Iraq "shock and awe" and Afghan devastation, and others where we have know. But now we know even more detail due to all kinds of rapidly developing technology. We have no exemption, moral or otherwise. We know the killing and, when and if Trump is elected over the endorsed killing by the president of the US of Palestinians, perhaps this will be some kind of justice and punishment on the US and its people. What a hell of a way to go and to live! when we have the power to stop the killing!
Of course you're wrong! We do NOT have 'the power' at all! We are powerless before a totally corrupted government which includes ALL THREE MAIN BRANCHES! The presidency is to tally compromised and under the control of a "foreign lobby", AIPAC, the Congress in no way represents the people and is 'bought and paid for' by the big lobbies, and the Supreme Court is "stacked" with Repukelican hacks who decide for the big money guys. Pray, tell me, where do you see the 'power' of the people in that mess???
I'm more than ready to hit the streets....What can be done? What can I do...NOW? Beyond sickened. Bereft. I once saw an article by Bill Moyers in which he refered to "moral imagination." Large numbers of Amerikans lack it. I don't. Appalled that the few friends I have don't want to talk about it. They still support Biden. I am grieving because of this, too. Not brave enough for self-immolation. And I wonder, will people even give a shit? Are people, in the end, more evil than kind, altruistic? I may write in Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for POTUS...even though voting is a sham...
You express a healthy cynicism, which is totally warranted under the present circumstances. Remember, 'cynicism is but the smoke rising from the embers of shattered dreams'.
I see what you see. Here’s my intuitive take: Biden made the deal with the money boys in NY prior to his election, promising not to change anything, as you and others have quoted. Biden’s nose has been in Zioni$t asses forever. Follow the money.
The deal was: Biden gets to achieve his burning lust for the presidency, which he’s been stoking for decades. He can throw a few bones to the working class, but agrees to stop that shit and shift into the serious business of expanding the market for America’s chief export products. He’s done a great job for the weapons and warfare suppliers. The market is red hot and profits are rolling in. The money boys are happy. Biden agrees to be remembered as the primary supporter of the most visible and horrific mass murder in history, which will thus eliminate any chance for his reelection. In the meantime, the money boys will make sure the real contender for erasing any remnants of American so-called democratic process is warming up to step and finish the job he started in his first term. This will become inevitable due to Biden’s unwavering support of Netanyahu, who is successfully introducing the world to the first real time video of hell in the making via brutal dismemberment, death and destruction. Thus providing the template for Biden’s replacement.
Netanyahu his demonstrated that the “world”, i.e., all the most powerful nations, will stand by and do NOTHING TO STOP THE SLAUGHTER. Trump and Netanyahu are the same. The money boys can now unleash the beast. Who’s to stop it? As you recently wrote, in accurate detail, no current American institution is able to stop him.
No international institutions can stop Netanyahu. None will step in to stop Trump. We, “the people” are sitting ducks.
The deal was made before Biden took office.
Too paranoid? I don’t think so. Just follow the money.
Thanks for the truth and clarity, Paul. I think Arabs/Muslims are the newest enemy and that USA/Israel are in kahoots to grab the oil and and have a serious ally in the region plus in general USA and especially Israel with it's generations of war, hate Muslims and Arabs. And then there's AIPAC, the southern Christians and the corporations. It's sickening and sorry to tell you I won't be voting for any presidential candidates this year. Also it's shameful that the dismal Dems offer lame old Biden for their gerontological self-preservation or that his spokespeople can be the mouthpiece for whomever is truly running the country.. Are they hoping that since Trump would be worse we'll take Joe. Or are they actually privately supporting the repugnant orange menace, since they (DDs) have nothing to offer?
"Naziyahu"....grotesquely right on.
Fascist Biden... right on

BTW this is very good on world system and nation connections with Israel: https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/how-nations-could-end-israeli-genocide-stop-the-weapons-stop-the-oil-stop-the-tech/?fbclid=IwAR093AzwIr5it6TV-l1okSs3nEmRrd8PqZQV4J67CWNm5Q-AWhhHYnAXE8k
Remarkable research there.
Another name for the head of the criminals running Israel is Nit'n'yahoo. The epitome of evil.
It's the most likely scenario under the present circumstances. Revolution is the Solution! We've tried everything else under the sun!

Israel has since 1967 been enlisted in the US Empire project well beyond the oil-rich ME I might add.
Amen to that!
