US aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza

The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

So, the US is fuelling Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, while leaving Ukraine high and dry against Russia’s genocidal onslaught.

Alas, Netanyahu is corrupting not just Israel’s values but America’s too. Just this week, the US stood alone when it abstained from voting for a UN ceasefire resolution in Gaza. That alone threw into stark relief how its unconditional support for Israel is undermining US leadership on the world stage.

Frankly, the US abstaining is too little, too late. Because Netanyahu has already created thousands of avenging Palestinians to terrorize Israelis and Americans for generations.

US standing by as Russia commits genocide in Ukraine

Meanwhile, Zelensky is bemoaning the way the US is now allowing Russia to “do whatever the hell it wants” with Ukraine. This, too, is undermining US leadership.

I maintain that willful delays in sending weapons to Ukraine will turn out to be the biggest blunder of this war. And that Ukrainians will end up resenting the Americans for their Chinese water torture over supplying military aid almost as much as they hate the Russians for their genocidal invasion.
