[alt-text for the vision-impaired] Image appears to be a twitter post from Craig Murray posted on 2023-10-14: "To be entirely plain. I have always viscerally opposed war. I have dedicated my life to conflict resolution and reconciliation. But in the coming Gaza genocide, every act of armed resistance by Hamas and Hezbollah will have my support. If that is a crime, send me back to jail."

Hmm. Could be seen as a rather outlandish thing to say in the immediate aftermath of 2023-10-07, but in hindsight with what we know now in terms of what atrocities the Israeli military forces have brought upon the people of Gaza since that attack on Israel, it seems a reasonable statement to support armed resistance against the coming episode of genocide which indeed materialised and continues today.

I mean, Israel is such a huge asset to the US that it's not unsurprising that they are backing them completely with blatant disregard for the Palestinians.

Everyone else is just falling in line because they want to stay in the US group.

I do find it surprising that unlike literally every other country, they seem to be giving Israel a full pass at even ignoring Washington's demands.

They seem to be the only nation that can step out of line and still receive billions in military aid.

If KSA suddenly ditched America, the CIA would have the government replaced by tomorrow. But Netanyahu apparently qualifies as passable considering how long he's been in office.

Israel is a vassal state to the USA and is integral to American interests in the region (Isreal's nickname is America's unsinkable aircraft carrier). Also racism/islamaphobia.
