Deep Corruption and Now Genocide-like Behavior [1]

So — what should other countries do if someone like Trump were to be re-elected President and started murdering his dissidents en masse, i.e, all of us who reside in notoriously Blue states?

Break all their alliances with the US? Violate long standing treaties? Cut off trade? Invade the US for political leadership change reasons? There have been other, quicker and more permanent means employed by our country’s leadership to remove foreign leaders, e.g., the CIA and President Salvador Allende of Chile.

I believe that most of us would prefer that they not do that because horrible leaders can be as temporary as ‘acceptable ‘ leaders in many instances. It is far better for the people of a country to make their own changes because they are likely to be longer lasting. Besides, many of us want to vote against Trump in November for the immense satisfaction of beating and prosecuting him fully for all his crimes — as long as we can stare down the Supremes somehow. What are the odds that he runs to live out his life in Russia?

The US has been Israel’s most important ally from the moment Zionists ‘conquered’ Palestine. I believe that it was a very good decision to be the first and now strongest ally. Currently, Israel is led by someone who faces criminal prosecutions like Trump in the US.. He and Trump are best buds and they apparently spoke about annexing the West Bank and Gaza.

Joe Biden welcomed a visit to the White House by a leading candidate, Benny Gantz, to supersede their current, corrupt, criminally murderous leadership. Moreover, many more Israelis have been taking to the streets now in very large numbers to call for new elections and the removal of Netanyahu. Gantz has called for new elections and would beat Netanyahu hands down. Maybe the newly draft worthy ultra orthodox young men will take self-protective direct action to stop the carnage and their own possible deaths. Recall the precedent of the Israeli, Amir, murdering President Rabin over religion infected foreign policy arguments. A new election would not occur until September — way too long to stop the current slaughter. The UN has been unanimous in condemning the genocide-like mass murder in Gaza.

I am willing to speculate that cutting off arms shipments from the USA would cement Netanyahu’s already strong relationship with Putin and arms shipments from Russia would commence immediately.

Just for the record, are you aware of just how many noncombatants our good old USA annihilated in our 10-year Kissinger war in Southeast Asia? If you look up some sources for these deaths, you may regain or gain anew knowledge of the horrors of our own wars. It does not in any way excuse what Israel is doing now.

Finally, Antony Blinkin has practically lived on jets as he meets with many of the regional powers in the Middle East. I believe that we can be sure that the Stat Department and CIA is meddling in Israeli political leadership maybe trying to support opposing candidates or urge them to make a change somehow and more quickly. Moreover, Netanyahu is just now, finally, sending a delegation to Washington to discuss the invasion of Rafah.

Although there is way too much Israeli bombing now in Rafah, a land invasion to murder many of the Palestinians who have fled there for safety following the orders from Israel would be simply infuriating. There will be World Court and UN actions before long.

I don’t know what I would try to do. Both of my Senators and my congressperson strongly oppose Netanyahu’s mass murdering.

What about you?
