US supplied massive armaments to Israel knowing they were deliberately used to slaughter civilians
Outgoing US president Joe Biden has dramatically – and perhaps unintentionally – confessed to collusion in Israel’s genocide of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
In an interview, Biden admitted that just days after the 7 October raid, he discussed with Netanyahu Israel’s intention of carpet-bombing civilians – supposedly to get at Hamas fighters and facilities. Yet despite discussing the issue and claiming to have told the now-wanted war criminal that ‘you can’t just be carpet-bombing these communities’, Netanyahu made clear that’s what he was going to do and justified it by saying the US did it to Germany and Japan:
But over and over, Biden’s administration supplied Israel with the munitions – including the 2,000lb bombs used to flatten entire civilian areas – with which it continued to inflict mass death, injury and destruction on Gaza, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.
And when the United Nations and the world courts declared Israel to be committing genocide, Biden and his cronies not only denied the genocide and provided political cover, but targeted the judges and officials of those organisations for condemnation and sanctions – and even invasion if they dare to put Netanyahu and his fellow war criminals on trial.
Biden’s interview is enough to convict him of genocide at The Hague, but in this twisted world he and many of his fellow criminals will escape justice in this life if not the next.

Yet some will STILL remain blind to the obvious that “Democrat” & “Labour” labels have been ALLOWED to be parasitised by the likes of Biden, the Clintons, Sir Keith and the Blair creature, to benefit ONLY the status quo = the 1% incl the Military Industrial Complex. That is all. Superficial differences eg Religions and Ethnicities are easily and ruthlessly exploited lubricate the maintenance of the same old same old.
p.s. Were Palestine in a region without oil and its associated strategic military location, the likes of Biden, Bush, Blair & his Blair creature would rain bombs and bloodshed WHERE-EVER those valuable natural resources and associated military strategic locations were. That is all.
Thank goodness we at least will now hopefully have ANOTHER FOUR YEARS without new bombings and invasions killing fifty, sixty, seventy THOUSAND men women and children in planned genocide and blatant ethnic cleansing

… unlike the last BIDEN 4 years of bloody carnage
I think we’ll be lucky to go two MONTHS without bombing, sniping, and murdering the Palestinians. Trump promised HARDER than Biden, not LESS!
He’s also pressured Netanyahu harder than Biden, through his emissary Steve Witkoff, and achieved the deal Biden could’ve had back in May if he’d applied the slightest leverage. The length of the “war” could’ve been halved. Maybe 100,000 lives saved. But he didn’t, it wasn’t and they weren’t.

Every bit as damning as:
“I think that israel DOES have that right”.
And will be denied just as desperately and ridiculously, in the style of keef, and the wee gobshite.
They said it. They ought to be made to swing for it.
This morning we are being fed “Israeli hostages” and “Palestinian prisoners” …. perhaps our media have trouble understanding that someone taken hostage, never facing trial for any wrongdoing (other than being “a Palestinian”) is every bit as much a hostage as any Israeli taken on 7th October. Furthermore, they seem to have been tortured and abused far more than their Israeli equivalent.
Yes Tim, the same difficulty they have in differentiating the words ‘war’ and ‘conflict’ from ‘genocide’. And like you I shall be surprised to see more than a couple of months of ‘ceasefire’.
Even with a permanent ceasefire, Gaza is now ruined – if memory serves I read estimates of 10 years to restore any semblance of homes and infrastructure. There cannot be much left to be bombed totally out of existence. Which of course has been the plan all along.
I’ll bet Trumps son in law is getting quite excited about the possibility of those wonderful ‘sea front apartments’….
I have this dream … (it will never happen). But here it is… Take one of our pointless aircraft carriers, paint it white, and kit it out as a ship to travel where there are emergencies. Stock it with food, fuel, and temporary accommodation (there are specialists in making the stuff around Hull, flat packed, with generators and all the other stuff to sustain life. Use our (former) military helicopters to lift all the supplies to the area needing emergency help, and bring back those needing hospital treatment, to be catered for on the ship. We could have Palestine up and running quite quickly. We could open schools, and build temporary hospitals in days, Folks could have temporary homes.
Admittedly, our own defence industries wouldn’t be making money out of it, but it would be a source of pride for the rest of us, and provide lots of useful work back in the UK. Just think, our workers could say, not “I have built part of an aircraft to kill Palestinians” but “Today I built homes and hospitals for the poor in Gaza.
Not the sort of thing Starmer would contemplate of course.
Sea front apartments in the stolen land of Gaza is not the only real estate in play, Julia.

Trump, like all the US ruling elite (along with those of the UK/City of London) is all about “I win – you lose” outcomes (zero-sum). The reason Trump is disliked by the neo-liberal globalist elites on both sides of the minority of the planet that is the Atlantic West is that he is not a hypocrite about it. He says the quiet parts out loud, instead of wrapping it all up in cant about democracy and human rights.
So in regard to the real estate of Canada, Greenland, Panama – for starters:
“Well, American ambition is to control the whole world. And the important thing is that Trump realized and said explicitly, we don’t have to control the world militarily. We can control it economically by making economic threats. We don’t have anything to offer other countries. All we have to do is threaten them. That’s the only bargaining wedge the United States has. Only threaten. We can threaten their transportation. We can threaten not to support that. We can threaten them with tariffs. We can threaten them with financial regulations. But we really don’t have anything positive to offer them, except the agreement to sell them overpriced military hardware that doesn’t really work……
His way of making it sensible is transactional. The sensible is, we will hurt you if you don’t do what we want. It is in your interest not to be hurt. So, let’s make an agreement that we will not hurt you, and in exchange you will give us what we want. That’s his idea of the transaction. That basically is the principle of American foreign policy. All it has is the threat to destroy and to create chaos and to disrupt. And the gain that other countries have is, we won’t invade you if you do what we want. Well, that’s not the kind of deal that was usually thought. And just imagine the European countries saying, well, it looks like the European NATO countries need to defend themselves against an attack from the other side of the Atlantic…..
So, the United States has made through NATO an official proposal for surrender that there are individual countries and voters of Europe will have no voice in what arms they buy, who they buy them from, and at what price they’ll buy them from. NATO, through the European Union leadership, independently of national leaders is essentially going to capture them. So, this is a move by the United States to capture the European political system and essentially by surrounding the so-called democratic elections of each country with this overall NATO and the EU are in charge of how governments are going to spend the money, how much their budget is going to be spent on arms or other things.
And to meet the objectives that the United States insists on for Europe to buy American arms, that means cutting back the social spending, cutting back the subsidies that the European countries have had to give their homeowners and renters to afford heat, oil and gas heating and electricity. It means absolute political crisis for Europe. And you can be sure that America can then talk to the individual leaders of the countries and say, well, you don’t want a political crisis, do you? That would throw you out of office. So, I really think you should surrender to us.”
———————————————————————-
The bottom line is that most of the UK and Europe has been mi-identifying who the real enemy is in regard to conquering Europe and impoverishing its peoples by plundering its resources.
The bonus with Trump is that he is up front about what the USA/The Anglo-Saxon approach is and always has been, rather than bothering to conceal it. His personality and ego needs those who he makes lose know that they have lost and that he has won.
If that does not make people wake up and smell the coffee/see the reality, then they deserve everything coming to them. The only problem being that they will be dragging the rest of the sane among us down with them.
