Thank you, Mark, this was an important post. I’ll leave it to others to engage with this directly - instead i’d like to draw attention to a couple of items that many will find encouraging:

(1) A French economist named Jacques Sapir has proposed an interesting theory about Israel’s current condition. It goes like this: Israeli “leadership” has been working for generations to gain complete control over the American government. The logic of this is obvious. Once in place the tiny Israeli “tail” commands the economic and military resources of the US “dog” which magnifies their clout enormously. Or, at least, that was the theory generations ago when this plan was begun. But now that the US is essentially an Israeli puppet state Tel Aviv believes that it’s time for the Final Solution - Total Control over the entire Middle East. The attack on Iran was to be the key to instituting Israeli regional dominance

But if you took the time to analyze their 12 day attack on Iran it was not so much a military campaign as it was a terrorist attack - killing civilians & assassinating leaders. Period. As a “war” it was completely inept. They attacked a country 1200 miles away that’s 75 times larger than theirs and with a population that’s 10 times larger. A country with state-of-the-art modern weapons. The plan, of course was always to get Uncle Sam to ride the rescue. But that rich uncle is no longer as rich or as powerful as he was then this plan was first begun. And the US military is currently undermanned, obsolete and almost out of ammo.

So the Israeli government - which, in it’s entirety, is certifiably, clinically insane - has launched it’s final, apocalyptic Eretz Yisrael campaign - secure in it’s knowledge that it’s uncle WILL back it up. But it’s pathetic uncle - who *is* following the script they wrote for him - just can’t cut the mustard anymore. And the rest of the world knows it. The only one’s who are still in denial are the psychopaths Tel Aviv. The JN’s (Jewish Nationalists) have been waiting for this day since 1948. (or earlier) But they waited too long. Now they’ve exposed themselves as what they really are and their uncle bully has gone to flab. Rather than deal with their neighbors in a way that acknowledged their own capabilities they tried to game the system and so they’re now looking at having to pay the price for that miscalculation. They are most likely Hoist on their own Petard.

This is a Chinese video - with English subtitles - that expresses a Chinese perspective on the Israeli program to exterminate the Palestinians. Prepare to be moved.

Larry Johnson's statement that Israel commands US policy reveals a poor understanding of the structure of power in the US. After accumulating for over a century, Zionist power in the US has become a dominant force in the US political economy. This a highly organized and extremely wealthy block of US citizens operating out of Jewish political organizations. Israel is a tiny, poisonous state in a sea of Arabs and Persians that would have disappeared long ago without the full support of US Zionist power commanding the resources of the dumb superpower. The Zionist power block is reinforced in its control of US foreign policy by its alliance of convenience with the military-industrial-congressional complex (a racketeering operation developed since WWII) on one hand and traditional US imperial interests on the other. This alliance is a government within the government. Until Americans confront this internal power block, Israel will exist and appear to call the shots.
