The media constantly deploy an antisemitic trope: that on Gaza, it is Israel pulling the strings in Washington. They get away with it because this trope is crucially useful to the western power elite
Guardian has also presented many other opinions, where they wrote how US is trying to shift the world order by acting like not-able-to into the Israel matters
I am aware that many see the huge influence of AIPAC... with their millions of millions, of even, more millions in outstretched tentacles in the form of American greenbacks, that shuts the mouths of those in Washington... And it must be happening in other Western power Nation states, because they are hushed and complicit too.
I observed that little, timid pipsqueak, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, after slipping in that position, in the wake of chaos from his predecessor, had to take charge of a serious issue, and the outcome that favored Israel. His disposition changed after that. No longer was he this timid fellow adjusting to his new position, but was now charged to handle issues for Israel. It was, almost, childlike. I'm guessing, he enjoyed his "thank-you-check."
One last quick remark: Israel has been real savvy with the law. International, United States, & of course, their own. Not only knowing what laws they are breaking, but more importantly, how to respond when brought up. Spying on ICC/ICJ so they know ahead of time what issues are being addressed and investigated, so they can send people to the ICC/ICJ 's offices to inform them that the very same issues have got the attention of those in charge, and were planning their own in-houses investigation; just (because they are so nice) to bring it to their attention. So, now, they don't need to do anything because Israel has got it covered (up!).
I stopped subscribing to the Guardian when they threw Julian Assange under the bus, I haven’t read an article since. I truly believe it is just another main stream media propaganda tool for the British Intelligence Community. Just don’t read the convoluted lies and you’ll feel a lot happier with your self.
If you think the US MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and their SUPPLIERS and INVESTORS want PEACE in the MIDDLE EAST you are DELUSIONAL. No FINANCIAL GAIN IN PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE.
"Is Israel pulling the strings in Washington, Guardian? Maybe Israel's long tentacles are wrapped so far around the globe that they reach the Oval Office?"
I'm amazed that you can ask that, Jonathan. The Israel lobby in the US, AIPAC, is rigidly in the Israel, right or wrong camp will put huge sums of money behind American political candidates who toe that line, and will put huge sums of money behind candidates who don't. When I was at shul, at Temple Isaiah back in the early 50s the sense of triumphalism was heady. The line was, "We made the desert bloom, and the hate us for it." And this is the line American politicians have to subscribe to.
We were not told that we'd displaced hundreds of thousand of Palestinians, people whose ancestors had lived on that land for generation upon generation, herded them into refugee camps and refuse to allow them return to their homes. The homes had been given to Israelis. And Israel is annexing even more of the West Bank, and is now ethnically cleansing Northern Gaza which it fully intends to colonize.
Joe Biden is still buying the deal that Israel was selling us in the 50s. If he were to change his views to acknowledge what's really happening there, the Democratic party would be in even more trouble than it is. My relatives, and all my fellow Jews who still buy the Israeli deal, have enough numbers to vote out any politician who doesn't. It is not anti-semitic to tell the truth. Israel is an apartheid state that is colonizing the land of others in order to expand.
Quote: "The explanation lies in the 🇺🇸 Military Industrial Complex and a deeply sinister marriage that has grown between them and Israel. Israel’s wars have become major parts of the MIC’s business plan. Every bomb Israel drops; every missile the US fires, every Muslim country the US invades makes money for the MIC. Israel receives over $3 billion in military aid from Washington every year. Most of this money immediately returns to US military corporations to buy weapons. They’re partners." - David Spero, The Medium, February 2019
Boy, are you off on this one Jonathan. You need to spend more time understanding the history of Jewish power in the United States, in the media, finance, and Congress. There is near complete, total, absolute subservience to Jews by our politicians. The Jews, who dominate the legacy media, have fed us a lifetime of constant demonization and dehumanization of Arabs and Muslims in general and Palestinians in particular while simultaneously feeding us a lifetime of constant super humanization of Jews, those most fundamental elements of propaganda that allows countries and peoples to lay waste to others and sleep well at night. As for the influence of Christian Zionists in all of this, Jewish Zionists view them as useful idiots.
What does someone mean when they identify as a Jew or Jewish? That a) they are a follower of Judaism or b) they've been told that they are descendants of some European converts to Judaism and have some Jewish style customs at home?
I don't have a problem with that. I respect them as people but I don't have to respect their identity or customs, they might identify as a cat, doesn't mean I let them into my cattery. It doesn't mean I have to do anything differently.
I do have a problem with the exceptionalism, the sticking together, the indoctrination and the funding for faith schools meaning that those identifying as Jewish are overrepresented at Oxbridge and therefore in legacy journalism, media and in medicine. Dare I say, and in banking? Yes, I know this has been said before. Are we even allowed to point it out?
The whole range of human expression and experience is available to all children. Let's not educate them and condition them to believe that they are somehow distinct or separate to each other and must have different experiences, or that they are separate to other animals who they can treat appallingly or that they're somehow independent from the Earth from which we're all made.
MUST HANG
The US needs wars to keep their oligarchs in power. It’s a money/ power/control thing.
It doesn’t help that the US keeps setting red lines for Israel that are then ignored with impunity.
Bottom line: Editorially, the Guardian is completely pro Israel.

Rubbish
Your Zionism (and all the vileness associated with it) is clearly on show. Why are you not in a mental hospital?
Antisemitic ? I dont get that. They are encouraging the zionist butchers
Ignoring AIPAK is ignorance or deliberate?
A brilliant piece. Thank you @Jonathan_K_Cook 👏💷
