   Good work, Mr. President Biden. You have managed to do what America’s   
   enemies have not – creating widespread hatred for the United States   
   around the globe. Your destruction of the Gaza refugee camps has   
   inflamed antisemitism everywhere.   
      
   There is widespread disgust and anger at the US government over your   
   decision to give Israel’s new far right government carte blanche to   
   massacre rebellious Palestinians in the open prison of the Gaza Strip.   
   The death toll is now over 31,000 killed and at least 70,000 seriously   
   injured, not counting the long-term effects of malnutrition and even   
   starvation. Most victims are women and children.   
      
   All of Gaza’s hospitals have been wrecked by Israeli bombs and tank   
   fire. The Biden administration has thoughtfully rushed tank shells to   
   Israel’s armored forces. Large stores of arms and supplies, supposedly   
   provided by the US to Israel for an emergency situation, have been   
   offered up to Israel to continue its massacre of Gaza. Such action   
   violates US law – which bars the use of US-supplied arms against   
   civilians. Dropping 2,000 lbs bombs on residential buildings is,   
   according to Israeli spin doctors, ‘counterterrorism.’ The rest of the   
   world does not think so.   
      
   Except of course the US, Canada and Britain, where the media is   
   totally dominated by supporters of Israel’s now governing far right.   
   And Washington, which is paralyzed by pre-election fever. Palestinian   
   ‘terrorists’ are purposely running into Israeli tanks, shells and   
   bombs just to discredit Israel. Big money financial donors are   
   terrorizing major US and British educational institutions. Writers who   
   dare challenge Israel’s party line on Gaza are blacklisted. Those   
   honorable Jews who denounce Israel’s brutal policies in Gaza are   
   denounced as ‘self-hating Jews.’   
      
   We are not told that Gaza’s terrified civilians originally came from   
   areas around Gaza and Galilee from whence they were driven into the   
   prison camp of Gaza from their historic homes by ethnic cleansing and   
   massacres after 1948. Their lands were seized by the Israeli   
   government or far-right settlers, many from the US.   
      
   As yet, we know little about the alleged massacre of some 1,000   
   Israelis attending a music festival on former Arab lands. I know this   
   region fairly well after visiting the kibbutz of Nahal Oz in the   
   1950’s to meet relatives and see how Israel was allegedly making once   
   supposedly barren lands flower and blossom. There were no such people   
   as Palestinians, according to Israel’s then prime minister, who   
   herself hailed from Ukraine.   
      
   Israel’s governing far right – was described by the late, great   
   Israeli writer Uri Avnery as ‘Jewish fascists.’ They clearly intend to   
   grind Gaza and its people into dust. There are large numbers of   
   Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, some of whom were gunned down   
   this week. The objective of Israel’s far right is to expel these Arabs   
   from the entire West Bank that Israel seized in the 1967 War and shove   
   them into the arid Jordanian desert. Israel has long had its eye on   
   southern Lebanon and its Litani River waters.   
      
   ‘Don’t worry what Washington will say,’ said the architect of this   
   mess, the late General Ariel Sharon. ‘I control Washington.’ True   
   enough, as Biden and his party are showing. Wall Street donors have   
   become more important than America’s geopolitical interests.   
      
   Interestingly, the likely winner of the upcoming US presidential   
   election, Donald Trump, is an even stauncher supporter of Israel. But   
   even many Democrats don’t trust his fidelity to Israel even though he   
   openly dislikes Arabs and Muslims. Trump appears to have a clearer   
   idea of where America’s interests lie – he may not allow Israel to   
   lead America around by the nose.   
      
   Israel’s North American partisans keep running old films about the   
   Holocaust to help justify their laying waste to Gaza. We ought to   
   remember there were less than half the numbers of Jews in the besieged   
   Warsaw Ghetto than there are today Palestinians in Gaza.   
      
   Americans should be ashamed of Biden. His administration, infiltrated   
   and directed by far-right neocons, does not represent America’s values   
   or traditions. Gaza will remain a major crime as well as a dark stain   
   in America’s honor.
