Looks like Mr. Netanyahu never wants the war to end. The U.S. war-mongers are happy to egg him on. To many of us, it isn’t a revelation that members of the U.S. congress and their families are big time investors in the arms industry, and those very same folks decide who gets government defence contracts. Sounds corrupt, doesn’t it. But in the U.S.A., it ‘s also legal.

So if you were wondering why the slaughter of innocents never ends, it’s because a lot of folks, including U.S. law makers, are making a shit-load of money out of it.*

According to Forbes Magazine, U.S. Aerospace & Defence industry shares have risen a staggering 43% since the massacre in Gaza began. That’s a 1% profit increase for every thousand people killed!**

The U.S. government is funding the genocide. They have given Israel over $18 billion so far, on condition the money is spent on U.S. weapons and equipment.

As you can imagine, many U.S. citizens are not happy to see their taxes spent killing their friends and families in Gaza and Lebanon, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Of all the so called democracies around the world, the U.S. would have to be one of the least democratic. Apart from everything else, it is possibly the most dualistic. The same two parties have swapped  government since time immemorial. They claim to hate each other, but it’s actually a sweet-heart deal. Palestinians and their allies have the invidious choice between two rabidly pro-Israel parties. If they refuse to vote for Kamala Harris and the Democrats unconditional support of Israel, they help elect someone even worse. That’s no choice at all. Thank God we have the Greens and the Teals here in Australia, and the A.E.C. and preferential voting, for that matter.
