The
humiliation of the U.S. government, which is actively complicit in providing
the weaponry, funding, and UN vetoes backing the Israeli government’s attack on
the civilian Palestinians/Arabs in tiny Gaza, is in plain view daily. All in
the name of the unasked American people and taxpayers.
Earlier
this week, at a House of Representatives’ hearing, Trump toady Rep. Elise
Stefanik (R-NY) repeatedly assailed three University presidents with the
question of would they discipline students calling for the genocide of Jews,
without any evidence that this hateful speech is prevalent on campus.
Pursuing
her fulminations, Stefanik was cruelly oblivious to the real ongoing genocide
in Gaza with her support of unconditional shipment of American F-16s, 155mm.
missiles and other weapons of mass destruction used to kill children, women and
the elderly who had nothing to do with the preventable October 7th Hamas
violence.
Meanwhile,
a State Department spokesman continues to say that the Israeli government does
not intentionally target civilians. With U.S. drones over Gaza daily, Secretary
of State Antony Blinken has visual proof that the overwhelming bombing on
civilian structures is killing innocent civilians.
The
evidence is in the rubble of hospitals, health clinics, ambulances, schools,
libraries, places of worship, marketplaces, water mains, homes, apartment
buildings, and piles of unburied corpses being eaten by stray dogs. All this information is in the possession of
bomber Biden’s regime.
The
Bidenites and their bloodthirsty cohorts in Congress were forewarned when the
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant and other Israeli officials on October 8th
shouted these chilling genocidal orders to their army: “No electricity, no
food, no fuel, no water.… We are fighting human animals and will act
accordingly.” (See, Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of
Genocide). Add an already illegal 16-year Israeli blockade of 2.3 Palestinians
suffering from dire poverty, with 40% of their children down with anemia.
Now,
about half of Gaza’s population are children, 85% of the entire population is
homeless, wandering helplessly into nowhere, afflicted with pending starvation,
sickened by spreading infectious diseases and dirty drinking water. There is little or no medicines for diabetics
and cancer patients. No surgery, no anesthesia, no emergency transport, no
shelter from cold weather, only American-made bombs and missiles blowing up
Palestinians into bits with Israeli snipers everywhere.
The
Palestinians cannot flee from their open-air prison. They cannot surrender – the Israeli
government wants them gone. Bear in mind, the population that is not yet blown
up is sick and dying, denied needed outside humanitarian aid. Defying feeble
Biden’s wishes, Netanyahu only allows a trickle of aid trucks to enter Gaza,
and those that do enter can scarcely reach their destinations.
All
this raises the issue of the gross undercount of casualties. The Hamas Health
Authority has restricted its count to the names of the deceased and injured
supplied by hospitals and morgues. These locations are now largely rubble or
inoperative. Bodies under the rubble, many of them children, can’t be counted.
Thousands of missing people cannot be counted. The Ministry’s suspended count
is over 17,000 fatalities, plus 45,000 injuries. With the far larger carnage
unable to be tabulated, the actual fatality toll may reach 100,000 soon.
Nonetheless,
about two weeks ago, the New York Times reported the death undercount of
children in Gaza in two months was ten times greater than the deaths of
Ukrainian children in nearly two years of Russian bombings. One of its
headlines – “Smoldering Gaza Becomes a Graveyard for Children.”
There
are about 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza and about 5,500 of them are due to give
birth. Where are they going to do that? How can they be cared for and be
nurtured? These mothers are sick and starving. Add the babies to the terrorists
toll.
Gaza’s
area is about the size of Philadelphia. How many dead, injured, and dying
people would there be if 20,000 bombs were dropped on civilians and civilian
structures in Philadelphia? Philadelphians trapped without food, water,
medicine or any escape route. Imagine 85% of 1.5 million residents homeless,
wandering in the streets and alleys. And with virtually no humanitarian aid
coming from outside the city. There wouldn’t be any fire trucks or water to
extinguish spreading fires.
Over
a nine-week period there would have to be over 200,000 deaths and many more
permanently disabled for life.
There
are courageous Jewish groups (e.g., Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now) and
rabbis calling for an end to the slaughter, demanding a ceasefire. There are
protestors at all of Biden’s public events/trips reminding him of next
November.
Veterans
for Peace and other veteran groups are engaged in non-violent civil
disobedience in front of the Scranton, Pennsylvania factory producing 155mm
missiles for Israel. (Scranton is Biden’s hometown.) Public opinion is turning
against the Biden/Israel war without limits on the Palestinians.
Biden
wouldn’t want to poll the American people about his $14.3 billion genocide tax,
charging American taxpayers to further prosperous Israel’s war of extermination
in Gaza. They’ll likely tell Biden that poor children, unaffordable health
facilities and other necessities in America need that money first.
There
are some 30 Democratic Senators demanding that this Biden bill contain
conditions and safeguards so that the money is not used to blow up more
Palestinian children and women. But what else are these funds for other than to
expand Israel’s military budget? The Israeli extremist ruling coalition under
Netanyahu has made no secret of wanting to take over all of remaining Palestine
as part of their “Greater Israel” mission to include what they call Judea and
Samaria. As Israel’s Founder, David Ben-Gurion, frankly declared referring to
the Palestinians, “We have taken their country.” (As quoted in The Jewish
Paradox (1978) by Nahum Goldmann.)
It
is a cruel irony of history that Israeli state terrorism is producing a
Palestinian Holocaust. Netanyahu’s regime has killed over 60 journalists—three
of them Israelis—120 United Nations relief workers and instituted total
blackouts to keep the grisly events in Gaza out of the news in real time.
Netanyahu, to shield his colossal failure to defend Israel on October 7thand to
keep his job, is making sure that his country joins the world community of
savage, slaughtering regimes, exemplified by the Bush/Cheney unlawful criminal
destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, followed by Hillary Clinton toppling Libya
into permanent violence and chaos since 2011. (Obama later called his conceding
to Hillary’s demands as his worst foreign policy decision).
Capitol
Hill and the White House don’t wait for any blood-guilt to be recognized. That
will surely come later with the judgment of history and the nightmarish visions
of innocents being vaporized because of Washington’s unconditional backing of
the Israeli blitzkrieg against what the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has
repeatedly called the “totally defenseless people” of Gaza.
