Here's a fun fact: the U.S. does not want to push back against "radical Islam." From support to the Grey Wolves in Turkey (NATO), to the Mujihadeen, to ISIS, "radical Islam" has found support wherever it furthers Western imperialist interests.
"[Graham Fuller, CIA, stated that] the policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them [Muslims] against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia. This policy of destabilization was devised by Bernard Lewis, an Oxford University specialist on Islamic studies, who called for the creation of an 'Arc of Crisis' around the southern borders of the Soviet Union by empowering Muslim radicals to rebel against their Communist overlords." -- Paul L. Williams, Operation Gladio, p. 271.
With regards to the Palestinian state, Israel is only "our ally" due to its role in the Middle East as a haven for European Jewish opportunism/separatism, and as a Western settler-colonial power as seen in Herzl's appeals to Britain.
And compounding the hate? Do you think the U.S. is oblivious to the fact that Israel's identification of its settler-colonial terrorism with the Jewish people, bombing under the banner of the Star of David (despite oppression of Yemeni and Ethiopian Jews/farcical desecration of religious and cultural symbols), only furthers antisemitism across the region, which is then used retroactively to justify further oppression? Are you seriously under the impression that those in command of the U.S., despite being so concerned with Hamas, have not read their 2017 Charter which perfectly lays this out (and this has of course been said prior)? The U.S. is no better than Israel, and cannot cleanse itself by revoking support to Israel, a state only more brutal in that it is in its infancy, and still does not have the sufficient reach to designate all its atrocities to be carried out by proxy groups.
great post. Its a shame the lib won't interact with actual info, despite claiming to want a "deeper conversation"
