How much longer are Americans going to put up with this? On Dec. 7, the Washington Post (ordinarily extremely pro-Israel and pro-Biden administration) reported as follows:
“‘Through our inspection of refugee camps, we noticed a large spread of hepatitis, which is spreading due to crowding of people, lack of usable drinking water and contaminated food,’ Imad Al-Hams, an emergency physician in Rafah, told The Post. ‘This is a serious disease that leads to death.’
“He said it was hard to issue official figures on the volume of infections, due to the large number of people and a lack of access for medical teams, but noted that many diseases were spreading because of poor hygiene conditions, and children were particularly at risk.”
In a piece published in the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth on November 22, Giora Eiland, a decorated former head of the Israeli military’s Operations and Planning Division and former head of the National Security Council, proposed disease as an effective method of killing the Palestinian people in Gaza. He wrote:
“After all, severe epidemics in the southern Strip will bring victory closer and reduce fatalities among IDF soldiers.”
A Data for Progress poll conducted between October 18 and 19 found that 66% of Americans want a U.S. call for a ceasefire. As reflected in the votes on U.N. resolutions demanding a cease fire, there is a larger majority of the rest of humanity demanding same.
But “Genocide Joe,” his new and widespread nickname, along with most of Congress, remain in favor of billions more in aid to Israel without conditions as well as the ongoing supply of American weapons being used to obliterate Gaza. The U.S. has also deployed an armada to the Mediterranean daring anyone to interfere in the onslaught.
On Oct. 30, the Guardian published an article titled “Hamas has created additional demand: Wall Street eyes big profits from war” and subtitled “Morgan Stanley and TD Bank hope for aerospace and weapons boon after a 7% value increase from start of Israel-Hamas conflict.”
