White House Offers Cage Match, Not Ceasefire
UFC fighter Mike Jackson, offered a White House cage match, rightfully declined, decrying it as 'Hunger Games type of f---ing s---.' While Jackson sees the absurdity of gladiatorial combat in politics, the same White House continues to arm a conflict that mirrors a real-life horror show. For instance, the Biden administration, after expressing 'concern' over civilian casualties, greenlit another
$1 billion-plus arms shipment to Israel on March 29, 2024, including MK-84 2,000-pound bombs – weapons critics say are inherently indiscriminate in densely populated areas like Gaza. One might wonder if the White House's definition of 'Hunger Games' only applies to domestic spectacles, not to the literal bombing of civilians where US-made weapons are the main event. It appears some violence is
theatrical and to be scorned, while other violence, particularly overseas, is simply 'self-defense' – even when it involves 30,000+ dead Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children. The moral compass, it seems, is less 'true north' and more 'whatever profits our defense contractors.'
