I am not sure what sort of commentary to add to this interview and the revealing by Al Jazeera of the level of assistance that the US and its sycophantic partners in Westminster are giving to the Zionist regime’s genocide in Palestine. And to think that the Prime Minister of Britain is the head of a part that refers to itself as a party of labor.

 

I can say with absolute confidence though, that the UK and the US are complicit in the genocide and mass murder of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of people in Palestine, most of them civilians including thousands of children. Whole families have been eliminated and as I write, the Zionsist regime is in the process of starving the population of northern Gaza and in the occupied West Bank, the settlers with support from the Israeli army are waging a brutal campaign of violence against Palestinians there with the intent of driving them from the land altogether.

 

The former US ambassador to Egypt who is questioned in the video makes it clear that the US and the Biden Administration do not see this vital assistance to the Zionist regime as assisting genocide but as helping Israel defend itself; we know they are lying but the guys with the big stick can do that. The vast majority of the worlds people and the world’s nations see it for what it is; the defense of the European/Western proxy in the region.  This is an imperialist war.

One aspect of this genocide is that any credibility that the US had as the leader of the so-called free world and a champion of democracy is no more. Here in the US people are consumed with fears about which of the two Wall Street parties will govern the country for the next four years. For the Palestinians and other victims of imperialist war, it doesn’t matter whether Trump and the Republicans or Harris and the Democrats win this race. Both candidates are war hawks and will not easily abandon the only reliable ally US imperialism has in this vital part of the world.

 

We are living in dangerous times as capitalism comes ever closer to its shelf life.
