'At the same time, the mainstream of both leading parties of the main patron of Israel – the United States – demonstrated an immediate readiness to provide unconditional military and diplomatic support for almost all actions of the Israeli government. Here, both the contrast with the hesitation regarding arms supplies to Ukraine and the desire of the most reactionary circles of the American ruling class – the right wing of the Republican Party – to finance the ethnic cleansing and adventures of the Netanyahu government at the expense of depriving Ukrainians of aid are notable. In this, the Trumpists are similar to many other far-right forces in the West: having many anti-Semites in their ranks, such parties at the same time protect the ability of both Israeli and Russian security forces to kill residents of Palestine and Ukraine with impunity.'
So... the bad right-wingers in the US want to stop funding the Nazis in Ukraine and instead send arms to Netanyahu because they're... antisemitic? Did I get that right? Of course the fact that Ukraine was committing Israel-style atrocities against the population of the Donbas goes unacknowledged. They want to claim the moral high ground and public sympathy now going to the Palestinians despite the situations being in no way alike. It's a massacre in Gaza; it's a war in Ukraine. They have the gall to complain about a 'hesitation' in the American provision of arms after the hegemon has pumped hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weaponry and other support to keep the war going against Russia. Where are the arms supplies for Hamas? Where the 'responsibility to protect', the sanctity of territorial sovereignty, the brave stand against imperialist aggression? The fact that the US and the rest of the West have backed Israel to the hilt in this tells you everything you need to know.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest!
