Ever wondered why are some Western European nations so predictably loud in their support of Israel? It's not what you think. It's not about some collective guilt — that ship sailed generations ago, if ever. The truth is simpler and uglier: they just don’t want the Jews back. All it costs them is a few hours of prime-time posturing, sobbing crocodile tears under perfect lighting and lacquered hairdos, and maybe a few billion in aid and arms packages. Cheap price, really.
With the US, it's messier. Since
the 70s, the pro-Zionist lobby, later rebranded as the Neocons,
completely hijacked their foreign policy. But let’s be honest — American
policymakers weren’t innocent babes in the woods, either. They needed a
local thug to intimidate the neighborhood to secure their oil
interests. Enter Israel: arrogant, eager, armed to the teeth, and drunk
on its own supremacist delusions by booting out unarmed Arabs and
Palestinians from their ancestral land. They controlled the global
narrative in the media — people who could do no wrong, ever the smug and
morally superior victims who thought they were in control, the
dominatrix in the room. Whereas in reality, they may have been just the
latest client state in a long line of expendables (think Ukraine). They
forgot the revelation of perhaps the most cunning Jewish-American
diplomat of all: Henry Kissinger, who warned, “It may be dangerous to be
America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
Now
look at the present farce. The US President is all puff and no punch,
their pro-Israel lobby is swooning, foaming at the mouth. And Bibi,
looking like the proverbial "Koshei" of Slavic fairy tales — shrunk to
half his size, tic in the mouth and sunken eyes, but not yet munching
ties on live TV. For once, it may be occurring to them that they are not
invincible, don't call the shots and may have even been "Saddammed" —
whom the Americans first armed as a proxy against Iran, looked the other
way when he gassed the Kurds with their weapons (think Gaza) then gave a
nod and a wink to go ahead and do your thing, before he marched into
Kuwait. The rest is history.
The US, which sent
Tomahawks at the drop of a hat into Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan
earlier, and Yemen recently, just seems to be content with Trump's
Twitter threats, while Elon apparently teleported himself to Mars.
Sounds too farfetched? The Elon part yes, the rest..let see how the events unfold...
