Moral Bankruptcy of the West || Mearsheimer

Friends + Interlocutors,
Professor John Mearsheimer provides a snapshot of what unbiased human rights organizations and international criminal courts have concluded concerning Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza. This is not fake news. This is not atrocity propaganda.
What is happening in Gaza is no longer a war, but state-sponsored mass murder. The perpetrators in Tel Aviv and Washington insist that we believe their repeated denials, and not our lying eyes. And they take umbrage should we hesitate. Make no mistake, Gaza is a joint project. Washington is not just an enabler, a provider of bombs, cash and diplomatic cover.
It is more. The Biden-Blinken team via the Pentagon and CIA has provided intelligence, strategic advice and targeting. While gaslighting the entire dystopian spectacle and joining with its European satellites to block any diplomatic solution. The slaughter must continue unimpeded until such time as the man in charge, war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, decides to stop it.
In the meantime, the State Department’s impassive spokesman has been mealy-mouthing the issue for months on end, denying the obvious. This has been irritating, if not actually nauseating. But the transAtlantic establishment media does not push back or investigate. And neither does anyone in U.S. Congress. They play their part as running dogs.
