Grift, graft, and the vital veto

Millions are pretending not to see the genocidal, demoniac, racist and inhumane campaign that the newsmakers are engaging in.  Who are the newsmakers?  The Qataris are the heroes today, exposing the newsmakers as desperately wicked humans, true to the ancient prophetic dictum. 

6) For a fool speaks nonsense, and his heart inclines toward wickedness: to practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, to keep the hungry person unsatisfied and to withhold drink from the thirsty. 7) As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; he devises wicked schemes to destroy the afflicted with slander, even though the needy one speaks what is right.

Isaiah 32:6-7

The United States, Britain, France, and Russia knew from the start that Israel’s occupation was illegal.  They knew its government would be based on fascism, racist alliances, and bigotry.  They knew that the right to self-defence was (and is) a right incumbent on the Palestinian people.  They have conveniently forgotten that the land of Canaan has seen its share of terrorism and imperial rape.  American politicians also have known that the State of Israel has had little regard for human life.  Moscow and Beijing are only too happy to use their veto to oppose the United States.  It does not matter to them that the legitimate agenda of the United Nations in support of the Palestinians has been blocked too often by superpower machinations.  The only reason we can think of is that they cannot bring themselves to commit to supporting Muslim populations. They knew that Israel’s attempt to eradicate Hamas would necessitate criminal dimensions, but they all are pinned to the wall of self interest and opportunities for arms sales. The corruption that has kept the Palestinians in abject poverty and distress is the result of looking the other way while talking about security as a right that belongs exclusively to Israelis.

Great nations with criminal records

Nations have become more brazen than ever with their oppressive policies and international alliances. we are not deceived by the righteous talk of those who are living by the sword and who put on an outrage show when the sword comes knocking on their doors.  There are no principles that unite the nations to do the right thing for others.  So let them end their talk about their sovereign territories and supreme rights as long as their neighbours have neither.
