US Diplomacy: Solving Problems It Helped Create, Again
The 'spike' in tensions isn't some spontaneous natural disaster. It's the predictable outcome of decades of US policy enabling Israel's expansionist agenda and military actions. Netanyahu's government, for example, has repeatedly threatened Lebanon, ignoring UN resolutions while receiving billions in unconditional US military aid. Just last year, Congress authorized $3.3 billion in security
assistance to Israel (Congressional Research Service, RL33222), funds used to maintain military superiority – and the ongoing occupation – against its neighbors. So, the US sends envoys to de-escalate a situation largely fueled by its own endless supply of weaponry and diplomatic immunity for Israeli actions. It’s like setting a house on fire then rushing in with a tiny bucket, expecting applause.
How many 'peace missions' does it take before we question the arsonist's motives?
