The Biden
administration has made dangerous moves that could commit the US to another war
front. Are these risks calculated?
By

There are two issues
behind what happened in Palestine that have already become clear: Netanyahu was
looking for a reaction from the Palestinians and at the same time, he needed to
open the door to the US.
Following the events in
the Argentinean media is simply impossible without falling into absolute
reductionism and pro-Israeli propaganda. The air channels and the most
important radio stations in the capital more than news media seem to be an
extension of Radio Tel Aviv since they broadcast the course of events with a
staggering partiality and where there is (as there never was) no voice of the
Palestinians, making it very clear, the pro-Israeli influence that exists
within this country.
With such a picture
tainted by emotional manipulation and deliberately ignoring the context of the
conflict and its origins, there is little to analyse.
This is nothing new. In
war the first casualty is the truth, and as we know, the truth is not exactly
in the media corporation on this side of the hemisphere.
The surprise Israeli
attack on Syria in the early hours of Thursday should come as no surprise.
Let's remember that Israel has been harassing the Arab country since 2011 when
the US and its partners in the Arab monarchies launched a hybrid war against
the government of Bashar Al Assad by recruiting and using hordes of mercenaries
under the mask of "Wahhabi" and "Takfir" jihadism which
they would later use in Iraq with the hoax (designed by the CIA) called
"Islamic State".
But the war now raging
in the Middle East has caused a real setback for the Ukrainian neo-Nazis who
are under unbearable pressure which is materialised in a powerful Russian
offensive in the direction of “Avdiivka” (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-pummels-east-ukrainian-town-avdiivka-heavy-fighting-2023-10-13/
). Biden is beholden to Zionist
interests rather than those of the Union. To add to the problems in Washington,
the dismissal of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Miley seems to show that
tensions within the Democratic administration are running high, largely because
of the bad news coming out of Ukraine.
At the same time, much
of the US war materiel that was destined for Kiev was diverted to Israel. This
has become a real pain in the ass for Zelensky and his extremist leadership as
they see the money and aid they need to contain the Russians slipping through
their fingers.
To further cloud the
situation, the inexplicable circumstances surrounding the Hamas attack on 7
October and the fact that some of the Western equipment and weapons destined
for Ukraine were used against Israelis, the internal questioning between
governments and by Israeli families who still do not know where their captured
relatives are, are putting Tel Aviv and Netanyahu himself in trouble that is
now being covered up by the collective vengeance they are wreaking on the
people of Gaza.
The Israeli airstrikes
against Syrian airports revealed a suspicious intention by Netanyahu and his
military cabinet to directly involve the US and even to have US forces
stationed in an area adjacent to Gaza. That possibility will be left to how
many and how to allocate the resources originally earmarked to support the
Zelensky regime's efforts.
At the same time, the
USA, from the task force led by the aircraft carrier "USS Gerald
Ford" anchored in the Mediterranean, is collaborating with Israel in a
real ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip which is unprecedented (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-gaza-war-live
). For the Zionists in Washington it is the opportunity to erase the
Palestinians from Gaza for good and in that sense they applaud what is being
committed. The visit of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to Tel Aviv on 12
October promising "endless aid" rubber-stamps these plans, making it
even clearer that the US is not and never has been a mediator.
At the same time there is
an inherent risk for the US of being drawn into a regional war provoked by a
False Flag attack (https://strategic-culture.su/news/2023/10/13/biden-move-send-warships-to-gaza-coast-more-dangerous-than-we-thought/
). In light of these events and given
the geopolitical interests with which Washington has been moving to try to
destroy the Russian Federation and the sheer inconsistency of it all, it
certainly further exposes the nature of its foreign policy.
The massacre that the
Israeli air force and army is carrying out on the entire Palestinian population
of Gaza is overwhelmingly inhuman and clearly in addition to taking collective
revenge (as expressed by the Israelis themselves) it seeks to expel the
population that they openly consider as "human animals". Let us not
forget that since the beginning of the actions they have been deprived of
water, electricity and food as part of a sinister plan -called the Final
Solution- aimed at the final elimination of the Palestinian population in
Gaza and subsequent Israeli occupation.
Among those killed by
this collective revenge, in addition to hundreds of Palestinian children and
women, have been eleven UNRWA aid workers, several Red Crescent paramedics and
more than ten Palestinian journalists plus six others from Reuters and AFP in
southern Lebanon (https://apnews.com/article/israel-lebanon-shelling-border-journalist-killed-87fef20431c31b29ac56e51e14a22000
). So serious is what is happening that even the United Nations, which does not
usually go against this favourite US ally, has called for immediate access to
the Strip to ascertain the humanitarian situation, as it is highly likely that
Israeli commandos are indiscriminately killing every Gazan in their path.
All of this goes beyond
a lousy US Middle East policy, for those who make this diagnosis are leaving
out the implications that Washington has had in collaborating with the
development of the current Palestinian-Israeli situation and the instability of
the entire region. In this sense, it is more than clear that the US was never a
mediator but, rather, a representative of the Zionist lobby that undoubtedly
controls Washington's foreign policy.
