Fighting wars for Israel has been US policy for the entirety of the 21st century. American parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, uncles, cousins, and friends have been fighting and dying for Israel and paying for their own deaths by financing the war with their own pocket books for three presidencies during which Washington has sacrificed Americans for Israel.
All of this has to be kept hidden from Americans and is by lies, censorship, charges of anti-semitism, and criminalization of criticism of Israel. If truth be known, Israel rules the West. There are only two members in the US house of Representatives with the courage to stand up to Israel. In the US Senate I think there is only one. The bully Trump is afraid of the Israel Lobby and illegally bombed Iran–an act of war–on orders from Netanyahu. Trump is building Greater Israel, not America. When MAGA-Americans elected Trump, they elected Netanyahu......
I am currently rereading A.J.P. Taylor’s The Origins of the Second World War. World War II happened because everyone refused to recognize reality, except Hitler who recognized it about half the time. The rest created the conditions for war that Hitler did not need or want. Hitler did not conquer Austria. The dumbshit Austrian government handed the country to him. Hitler did not invade Czechoslovakia, the dumbshit Czech President Benes handed it to him. The British and French, like Putin today, wanted peace and thus created the conditions for war. The British government’s intense determination to avoid war caused it. The foolish British government issued a military guarantee to the Polish military dictatorship just as it was about to sign an agreement for Germany to reincorporate German territory assigned to Poland by the Treaty of Versailles. Consequently, the Poles walked away from settling the issue of Germans ruled by Poland. The result was the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact portioning Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union.
It was the British and French, neither capable of fighting, who recklessly declared war on Germany. France was instantly conquered, and the British escaped at Dunkirk with Hitler’s permission. Hitler misread Churchill. Hitler thought that if he let the defeated British army escape, it wouldn’t wound the British pride, and they would accept his extraordinarily peace terms that committed Germany to the defense of the British Empire.
In his day A.J.P. Taylor was hated because he told the truth, whereas the court historians insured their success by regurgitating war propaganda. Most historians you read are court historians insuring their own success.
Tell the truth and the universities dismiss you from your position, as happened to A.J.P. Taylor.
The inability or unwillingness to recognize reality today is worst than in the late 1930s. Today every country’s myths blind it to reality and compel it toward war. When leaders, if that is what they are, are incapable of acknowledging reality, only luck can save us.
