MARGARET KIMBERLEY—The horrific scenes of carnage have evoked revulsion for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Huge protests have taken place nationally and internationally and the zionists find themselves on the public relations defensive but will not concede defeat. They are using brute force to dox, damage careers, end careers before they start, withhold funds, and use other means to silence righteous indignation over Israeli war crimes.

DAN YASEEN—Gaza is five miles wide and 25 miles long. Israel has 170,000 troops and 465,000 reserves. The US has already sent two aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean with 10,000 sailors. The US is sending the US Army 101st Airborne Division to Jordan. Also, a rapid response force consisting of 2000 Marines has been there. The USA already has 60 to 80,000 troops stationed in the Middle East. It seems as if the United States is preparing for World War three. Jeff, give us your analysis of what’s going on in Israel-Palestine.

GARLAND NIXON—Garland argues that Seldowitz, morally repugnant as he is, may be accidentally doing us all a favor as, due to his own arrogance and probably stupidity, and feeling himself backed by the Israeli-Western empire establishment, is showing the true face of the Empire, and why it requires ever increasing amounts of huge lies and coercion to maintain its legitimacy. Now that he’s basically outed himself Seldowitz is no longer of much use to the empire, so he may be relegated to obscurity—but one never knows in a system built on criminality. In a sense, suggests Garland, Seldowitz resembles Trump, also a figure to be distrusted by the ruling elites, due to his loose canon propensity to tell embarrassing truths about the establishment.

THE BROADER VIEW: Why does the US support Israel? A geopolitical analysis with economist Michael Hudson
90 Mins readBEN NORTON—The United Nations has referred to Gaza as a “graveyard for children”. More than 4,000 children have been killed. About 40% of the casualties are children.
And the United States has continued to support Israel, not only diplomatically and politically, not only by, for instance, vetoing resolutions in the U.N. Security Council that call for a ceasefire, but furthermore, the U.S. has been sending billions of dollars to Israel. Not only the $3.8 billion that the U.S. always gives to Israel every year in military aid, but additionally, tens of billions of dollars more. So I am wondering if you could provide your analysis of why you think the U.S. is investing so many resources in supporting Israel while it is clearly committing war crimes.MICHAEL HUDSON: Well, certainly it is supporting Israel, but it’s not supporting Israel because this is an altruistic act. To the United States, Israel is its landed aircraft carrier in the Near East. Israel is the takeoff point for America to control the Near East.

ROGER BOYD—The abhorrent double-standard between those currently declaiming the deaths of the colonizers when they have remained mute to the deaths of the colonized on a much larger scale year after year is so evident in the media of North America. Outside of the West, and outside of the official media even in the West, the Zionist regime is losing the information war to maintain its civilized status and the true state terrorists are being revealed.
