Trump Uses 'Fury' Over Gaza to Push More Gaza
The New York Times portrays Trump's 'fury' over Qatar's role regarding Israel as a strategic play to pressure Netanyahu. (Pressure to do what, exactly? Keep bombing?) What they conveniently omit is the unwavering bipartisan commitment to enable Israel's actions, regardless of who's in the Oval Office. Remember when Biden 'sternly warned' Netanyahu last week, then immediately green-lit another arms
transfer? It’s a well-rehearsed charade. This 'pressure' is merely a spectacle for domestic consumption, ensuring no political capital is lost on actually holding Israel accountable. How many 'last warnings' will it take before the world recognizes a genocide when it sees one? Or perhaps, the true 'fury' is that a mediator might actually succeed in de-escalating a conflict that benefits so many
war profiteers. (Spoiler: US defense contractors aren't complaining.)
