Israel On Killing Spree In Gaza

[Mark Stapleton]

Speaking of Obama, the real focal point of the Israeli assault isn't Gaza – it's Washington, D.C. The whole point of this exercise in futility – which will not create a single iota of security for Israel, will not topple Hamas, and will not prove any more successful than the second Lebanese war – is to set the terms by which the Israelis will deal with the incoming U.S. president. Before he even gets a chance to appoint his Middle East team, his special envoys and advisers, the Israelis will have sabotaged the peace effort they can clearly see coming – and put the Americans on notice that whatever "change" is in the air will have to be to Israel's advantage. In short, the Gaza massacre is a preemptive strike against the prospect of American intervention on the Palestinians' behalf, or, at least, a more evenhanded policy framework...."

I think Raimondo is right. It's about both Israeli and American politics.

As far as the US is concerned, I think a political intifada against Israel cannot be far away. The number of former US diplomats and politicians speaking out against Israel and the damage it is doing to America's reputation is growing all the time:

Of course the one's presently sitting in Congress are rigidly obedient to their Israeli masters.


It's political suicide to criticise those who own the MSM.
