While the eyes of the World are frozen on the images of massacres of civilians, in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, most people remain blind to the tectonic changes that are occuring throughout the world , in reaction to this drama, as well as the deep divisions within the political environment in Israel and the USA.
Everywhere around the world, Jews and Arabs are getting together to demand peace and let go of their pain. Worldwide, the realisation that the ongoing Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza could not take place without the financial backing and armament of the United States has awaken strong feelings. In Africa, South America and Asia, countries are recalling their ambassadors from Tel Aviv, and wonder out loud if they should recall their ambassadors from Washington DC.
While it appears that the Biden Administration has reluctantly looked on, it certainly did more than authorize the bloody retaliation, by providing billions of dollars and armament. The US is petrified that they might loose their hegemonic power, following their defeat in Syria, in Ukraine and what looks like another possible defeat in the Middle East. Since the Armies of the "Empire" are no longer feared, what will be the incentive to continue dealing in dollars, rather than your local currency? When that reality hits home, how will Washington continue to print money, to sustain its level of life, finance endless wars, and unchecked immigration??
What will be the consequences of this current crisis, no matter the outcome? No matter if the Middle East rises up, or if Israel eradicates Hamas at the price of thousands of lives on both sides, the world will not be the same.
The important factor is that while President Biden had strongly warned Israel against moving the Palestinians to Egypt, or to eradicate the Palestinian People from the Earth; Netanyahu simply did not listen at all.
The Jewish Supremacists are acting today, as they did in 1948, when the United Nations voted for the creation of two States, one Palestinian, one Jewish; the Jewish armed groups self proclaimed their independence, even before the frontiers had even been settled. Jewish supremacists and terrorist groups expelled millions of Palestinians from their own homes (the Nakhba) and assassinated the UN Special envoy and several of his entourage, when he came to finalize the establishment of the two States. Following these two acts of terror, an alliance of seven arab countries (Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan and North Yemen) tried to intervene, but were quickly swept aside with the help of the USA. Today they don't listen to their protectors, and engage in the unrestricted massacre of civilians. This time however they are not taking in consideration that the world is watching through the modern medias that did not exist then, or even 50 years ago, and that more likely than not, no one will come to their rescue. At a time when the Shias are accepting the concept of a Jewish State, their extremist's madness threaten the survival of said State.
We just need to go back a little more than 30 years to remember how the Soviet Union collapsed. Following a catastrophic accident, the State had not been able to protect its own citizens. More than 4000 soviet citizens were killed while trying to save their compatriots following the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, in 1986. Many survivors started questioning the reasons of their acceptance of a authoritarian regime 69 years after the October Revolution. 1st Secretary of the SUCP Mikhail Gorbachev, wrote that it is then, that he realised that the Regime was in danger.
Following the riots in Kazakhstan, the demonstrations in the Baltic republics, and in Armenia, Gorbachev modified the Constitution to sideline the old guard of the Party. It was too little too late to stop the raging fire that engulfed Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldavia, Ukraine and Bielorussia. The uprising of the Young East German Communists against the Brejnev doctrine, led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The crumbling of the State and Economic powers in Moscow, led to the stopping of all the aid programs to their allies (including Cuba). Finally, the dissolution of the Varsaw Pact, and the implosion of the Union in 1991, were the last nails in the coffin, of an empire many had thought would be eternal.
This ineluctable process, started under Clinton, continued by Bush Jr and Obama, which had been slowed and delayed during the Trump Administration, has restarted, and accelerated during the Biden ghost Administration, to now become a clear and present danger for the American Empire. The existential question for the USA is not to know how far will Netanyahu's Revisionist Zionists are willing to go, but rather until when will the neocons and other US warmongers will support the Israeli extremists?? When will Washington decide they have more to loose in letting civilians being massacred in front of the whole world, instead of reigning in their own pitbull, in the Israel Government?
Biden has the same problem in Ukraine. After the dismal failure of Zelensky's vaunted counter-offensive, which led to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary Ukrainian losses. Russia is no longer choosing to destroy the military equipment, that Washington replace almost immediately, instead they are now eliminating the personnel that operates that armament. Russian forces are now acting as a huge grinder, that relentlessly chews every single Ukrainian soldier sent to attack their lines of defense. Kiev is now unable to find replacement for their lost soldiers, whole units are surrendering rather than being annihilated, and officers often have no other choice than to shoot their own troops for refusing to fight.
While many voices in the US, in Ukraine and in Israel are being raised to advocate for the replacement of the extremists in power in both Ukraine and Israel, it is not an easy task to achieve while combats are still going on. Yet, anything short of that obvious solution will spell disaster for the three countries.
President Biden (or his handlers) know well that he needs to replace his puppets in both Ukraine and in Israel; just as 1st Secretary Gorbachev had to replace his clueless representative in Kazakhstan. The risk being that there will be an generalisation of the opposition against these corrupt leaders. Once you let it be known that the head of a US political ally can be replaced, then you also let these corrupt individuals know that they should flee before being sacrified. As Dr Kinsinger once said: " it is dangerous to be an enemy of the United States, but it is fatal to be one of its friends".
This process is not only ineluctable, it is also inexorable. At this point and time, and because of his initial errors, President Biden has very little choice, he can slow down the process, he can defer its consequences, but he cannot stop it.
Western People, and their leaders must take radical initiatives to get out of this quagmire, without waiting to be abandoned, like Cubans were during the infamous period of the "Special Era". This is an urgency, the last ones to react, will be the ones left holding the bill. Already many states around the world, are elbowing their way to escape, and are now lining up to join the ranks of the Brics and/or the Shangai Organization for Cooperation.
Even worse than Russia which had to separate themselves from the Baltic States, the United States must prepare to be confronted by popular uprisings. When Washington DC will no longer be able to impose the dollar as the international monetary exchange, and that consequently its living standards will collapse, poor regions will refuse to obey the National Government, while the rich States will declare their own independence. As an apparte, two of the richest States of the Union are California and Texas. The only two States that could legally separate from the Union, due to the treaties that brought them in the United States. [1] It is very likely that a breaking of the United States would lead to a bitter civil war.
Should this scenario realize itself, this would be a catastrophe for the rest of the western world, with NATO and the EU soon collapsing, once the hegemonic power being in turmoil. Germany, France, the United Kingdom would reverse to their old rivalries, having failed to address them upstream.
Should the present course of affairs continue in the Middle East, Israel and the American Empire are condemned to disappear. As it has been proven through world history, going against the tide of that History invariably leads to more wars and more unnecessary deaths.
