Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Six observables - you see it and you know it

"why China and Russia (two world powers 

who are not Israel and U.S allies)were/are 

looking the other way while all these 

were/are happening." Poet Laureate

Assuming that they were looking away,

this wouldn't be for long. Israel's bombing

of a Russian  air base in Syria changes 

everything. China wants its commodities 

to move through the Gulf of Hormuz

unimpeded,  and  in any case, the

Neocons in Washington and Israel

have united the Dragon and the Bear 

through their myopic behavior. 

The geopolitical architecture has 

changed, and the military advantage

may not be on the side of Tel Aviv

and Washington.

It is one thing to massacre

unarmed civilians, and another,  to

attack an adversary armed to the

teeth with hypersonic missiles, and

state of the art drones, within an

emerging coalition of resistance.

For personal gain, and with a false

sense of invincibility,  Netanyahu 

and Biden -Harris may have sacrificed

 the nation state of Israel. Time

will tell.

I loved those six observables that

Professor Sabella Abidde 

articulated. Without radical reform 

of presidential campaign financing,

US administrations would 

continue to be puppets of

 the donors -  and their agendas.

I expected, but didn't see the seventh "observable", which should have been why China and Russia (two world powers who are not Israel and U.S allies)were/are looking the other way while all these were/are happening. 

I still (eagely) await this seventh 'observable".

Six Observables: First, in recent years, Israel has not gone to war without the support of the US and its allies. Netanyahu knows this, and that is why he is so cocky and eager to confront Iran. He knows he would not stand a chance without the support of the western military and intelligence. He knows it!

Second, the Israeli military can overtly and covertly attack Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, and the world – afraid of the US and her allies – will say and do nothing about it. It is one of the reasons why Benjamin Netanyahu can get away with large-scale murders and exterminations.

Third, Ukraine has not suffered a tenth of the indignity, iniquity, and killings at the hands of Russia that Palestinians have suffered at the hands of the Israeli government. Still, you would think that the senseless killings and heart-wrenching destructions in Ukraine are a million times greater than what is going on in Palestine and Lebanon.

Fourth, for 35 years at least, an average of 50 Palestinians have died every month at the hands of the Israeli government. But when the Palestinians protested and demanded their right, many western media, institutions, and governments labeled them terrorists, troublemakers, and agents of destruction.

Fifth, the US government could have brought and can still bring the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to an end. No, oh no! Every American president since Ronald Reagan seems scared…scared of losing votes, scared of scathing media editorials, scared of losing monetary donations, scared of not being invited to Israel, and terrified of being labeled anti-Israel.

Sixth, some African presidents kowtow before US and Western European presidents. They take orders from them, and many even defecate and pee in their pants when they are summoned individually and collectively to Western capitals. Ironically, many western leaders kowtow before Benjamin Netanyahu. They are afraid of him, very afraid of him.
