The war in the Middle East is an insult to the civilised world and a travesty to human kind.
Beginning with a terror attack by Hamas members, whether orchestrated by the Hamas Government in Gaza or not, and which has been reacted to 1000 fold by Israel, and followed by the systematic invasion and annexation of the West Bank by the State of Israel, sanctioned by the United States, to the aerial invasion ofIran and the clinical assassination of the leadership of Iran, we are being pushed towards a world war.
With wars in the Horn of Africa, DRC / Rwanda, Russia / Ukraine and the United States / Israel vs just about everyone else in the Middle East; the world is at war. Common denominators are naked Imperialism and dominance.
Russia wants its USSR back, forget Africa it doesn’t matter as it can always be raped by the industrialised powers as well as by its own corrupt “leaders”, and the USA-Israel Axis of Evil are out to destabilize every country it can in the Middle East, for two reasons: the “survival” of Israel and some oil.
Forget the oil really; its all about thedesire of a cohort of Israeli megalomaniacs, really Netanyahu trying to stay out of court and jail, looking to dictate and control the entire Middle East, not for thepreservation of the State of Israel, but for imperialism and a Nazi like need tocontrol.
Add to this the recent Messianic histrionics of some members of the Trump innercircle and we have a recipe for a disaster beyond anyone’s comprehension.
And the world waits.
Sort of like the world waited and watched as Hitler started his campaign a fewgenerations ago. And we have learned nothing, as we also wait and watch…..and do nothing.
