Israel's crimes against humanity around the world continue:an effective way of pursuing US policy
I heard a worker from the Red Cross describing how "it makes you sick" to discover the death and destruction wreaked by Israel on Palestinians. The Red Cross discovered a group of dead bodies with Palestinian children, emaciated, next to their dead mothers. The leaders of the US and Israel in particular, but also many other countries that support and ally themselves with Israel are obviously made of tougher stuff than the humanitarian workers who try to save whoever can be saved after these barbarians' crimes.
Israel, supported first and foremost massively by US political, economic and military power continues to commit unspeakable atrocities, the latest of untold, uncounted committed over many years. Israel insists it is pursuing its national security interest whereas it is patently obvious that the territories it has occupied face destruction and are being laid to waste.
For many decades it has been the case that any movement which promotes independence for the local people will be attacked by the US if that independence is in opposition to US interests and presently Israel continues to attack Hamas, not only because of the firing of rockets by Hamas but because it is a nationalist, independent movement with popular support, as the PLO once was.
Hamas won an election and was then denied recognition, excluded from discussions. The US, Israel, the European Union and other countries supported Fatah against Hamas thereby splitting the Palestinians and because Fatah recognize Israel and are far more compliant to these powers' hegemony. Then Gaza was blockaded. Now it's been invaded with overwhelming military force. Killing, maiming and mutilation. A constant in US and Israeli foreign policy going back decades.
Obama and Clinton are not to be expected to change US policy: their stance and policy statements are very clear. These people and these powers know exactly what they are doing.
