Cook makes a very important point in this article: "The old world order is dying once again." And what was that old world order? It was the "unipolar" world that emerged after the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. And what is the new order emerging? A multi-polar world in which U.S. domination is challenged on all sides, an unfolding conflict which is international in scope. We are witnessing the horror of that, what I think is rightly understood as an inter imperialist conflict, as it unfolds in the Middle East. Israel is the U.S.'s attack dog here. Zionists long ago cut their bargain with the British and then the U.S. making Israel their Middle East enforcer. Anyone who thinks that Israel calls the shots is seriously mistaken. It's more accurate to regard Israeli Jews as cannon fodder in a war directed by the major, what were once called, Colonial powers. I direct your attention to an article by an Iranian revolutionary Lili Babayi who gets into this analysis much more deeply. https://revcom.us/en/not-our-warand-our-war-whom-and-what-must-be-asked
Imagine a large fairly full American school bus that typically carries 30 children to/from school.
In one year, each and every day, Israeli military murdered TWELVE (12) school buses of children in Gaza -- per day -- ~~150,000 children total.
By Christmas it is estimated that due to diseases, starvation, and direct murder (often by sniper bullet in child’s head) that the total number for murdered Gaza children will double.
See Lancet, Ralph Nader and other estimates: At least 300,000 including 150,000+ children — and more than double that by Christmas 2024. -- Ralph Nader: Since Oct 7 2023 Jews Have Murdered 300 000 Gaza Civilians
And large-scale extreme torture of impaling Palestinians by pipes and iron bars leading to slow death or permanent injury is called - “rapes” – by “the most moral army”.
Lies, censorship, crimes after crimes — US bipartisan War party will not stop at anything.
This image was circulated world-wide & acts as a reminder of 'the horror' of the genocide. It needs to be kept being circulated by any means possible as MSM will let it die. Lest we forget! Sadly, Aljazeera is no longer available on Freeview, how can this be rectified?
We think that we have left the dark ages, the brutality and injustice of the past behind us, we keep reminding ourselves "never again" and "lest we forget" but here we are. And what are we doing about it, what is our role, our part, our contribution, our complicity.
I keep listening in my head to the Jordanian Foreign Minister after Nutty's speech to the UN. He explained that he represented 57 Islamic countries offering to guarantee Israel's security based on Palestinian self determination in the 1967 borders. Of course it's not about peace for some - it's about "Lebensraum" and stealing resources at the expense of people already living there. A tragically familiar story of a bully who doesn't recognise the humanity of his neighbours.
I can't listen to these reports of Israel's murder of Palestinians any more. It makes me sick. A report in last 24 hrs from public broadcaster ABC in Australia gives me some hope. As noted, there's blockouts in mainstream media where most people get their news. It has to change. Thanks Jonathan for your vigilance.
Thank you for the very informative and extremely well written article. I posted a paper on this that I found on Global Research and also published on my website.

Israel is neither a friend nor ally of the United States. Israel looks out for Israel 100 percent of the time and really doesn’t care what happens to anyone else. Americans have been brainwashed into believing that Israel is “our pit-bull in the Middle East” who keeps the natives in line. But this simply isn’t true. Israel’s activities in the region undermine US interests and inflict severe damage to America’s public image. Here’s how foreign policy expert John Mearsheimer summed it up:
Israel is a strategic albatross around our neck. It’s a liability. Let me just point out, the US doesn’t just give Israel lots of weapons and lots of money. It gives it unconditionally. This is truly remarkable. We don’t treat Israel like a normal country and help it because it’s to our benefit strategically. But that’s not what’s going on here. The US does what it does because of the Lobby. (AIPAC) The United States has a political system that’s set up in ways that allow interest groups to have great influence. Well, the Israel lobby is one of the most, if not, the most powerful lobby in the US. And the lobby goes to enormous lengths to make sure that American foreign policy supports Israel unconditionally. And, it is wildly successful.It’s truly impressive at how good the lobby is at getting US foreign policymakers to support Israel hook, line and sinker. PalMedia@PalBint

This is truly remarkable. We don’t treat Israel like a normal country and help it because it’s to our benefit strategically."
Israel hijacked the United States 61 years ago on the 23rd of November when LBJ registered the Zionist League of Ameria (now AIPAC) as a domestic lobbyist in direct contradiction to the FARA.
"Israel (read: International Jewry) runs the United States, and the Americans know it."
Incredibly powerful souffle de la vie of a reading of a comprehensive and remorseless exposée of the whole catalogue of Israeli obscenity weaponized by the USAE (United States of Absolute Evil).
God bless you Matthew Alford for your emotional reading. I think l heard your pain. Western politicians need to do a 180 or prepare to lose their next election as well as any war they drag us into.
Thank you, Shelley. We decided to keep that in and I hope it was a good decision. I have chosen not to see the burning alive of Shaaban al-Dalou, as with other graphic content, but it is hard not to feel it.
I couldn’t agree more, Jonathan in their Gadarene scramble to be seen to stand alongside Israel regardless of their action Messrs. Biden, Schultz and Starmer have completely trashed the notion of the universal applicability of inter alia, international human rights law

Israel has lost any hold of human feeling now.
They never had any, despite the well crafted PR and pretense.
