PAUL EDWARDS—Israel will fail, and destroy itself in the effort, which will be justice. Seldom does an entire country merit dissolution, but the rabid fanaticism of the vast majority of Israelis demands it. With few dissenters, its evil racist mentality is ubiquitous and ineradicable.
Barring a war it is insanely seeking, that will leave it a pulverized inferno, its end will come from its own raging poison, as when a wasp or scorpion, believing itself attacked, stings itself to death.
Ukraine’s story, very different, is comparably ugly. Precipitated, by The Empire’s anxiety over its displacement as world hegemon, it aimed to defeat Russia by driving supine NATO’s expansion to its borders, using Ukraine as its latest pawn of choice. If this is not clear to you by now, it’s because you refuse to know it.
The mechanics of the two bloodlettings are distinctly different. In the one, an evil nation commits genocide against a helpless people; in the other, a puppet clique is paid to feed its country’s men into a human meat grinder against an invincible adversary.
They share one great similarity: both are funded by The Empire. Americans pay for the Zionist genocide, and the proxy “war” in Ukraine, and seem glad to do it. They feel justified, sure that these shows of organized mass murder deserve their support.
