MAGA/Zionist Axis

 

Regular readers will recall my disputes with fellow blogger, arch-conservative, and Trump supporter Darrell. Darrell now has an ally in Infidel, another blogger who refuses to allow my comments.

I’ve been keeping track of Infidel’s newfound faith in Trump and his war on Iran. He knows Trump lied about Iran being “two weeks” from hitting the US with a nuclear weapon. He probably knows Trump lies every day, but this time is somehow different. It’s all about “freeing Iran”, no matter how many innocents are killed and how much suffering we inflict. Some of us are reminded of the Vietnam War when, “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.”

Like Trump, he doesn’t want to hear any disagreement or questions on his views. He never publishes my remarks, as his privilege. As Trump said, “Sometimes you need a dictator”.

So why am I bothering to question his pro-war beliefs? Primarily because he summarily dismisses my views as simple partisanship at best and “morally depraved antisemitism” at worst. His accusations that I am part of the “most twisted and ugly and morally depraved elements within the US” and of the “ignorantsia” who “took to the streets protesting against the operation to free Iran”.

If he thinks I’m a “most twisted and ugly and morally depraved” member of the “ignorantsia”, then I’ll dare to give him another reason to demean and insult me.

It is time again for my inner "villain" to utter the most politically incorrect, snark-seasoned, and semi-facetious opinion in America.

 

The nation of Israel was formed by UN resolution 181 in August 1947 and became a nation in 1948. UN Resolution 181 has proven to be a tragic blunder that assured endless war. It became an endless path to hell paved with good intentions. Let's remove religion, "God's chosen people", WWII, and ancient history from the equation.

I propose Resolution 181 be rescinded or amended to let Palestine be Palestine where Jews and Arabs lived together for centuries. I would allow one of our deep red states be the new Jewish State, in addition to ending all weapons shipments to the rogue state of Israel. (It's still a better deal than the US ever gave to Native Americans.)

We could finally make Washington DC the 50th state, so the flag would stay the same.

Yes, I know it's impractical and nearly impossible, but so is peace in the Middle East.

I'm open to any better idea...if there is one.

Despite how ludicrous this may sound, I've yet to hear a better suggestion for a way out of this mass madness.

Infidel is a Zionist. It seems being anti-Israeli government is antisemitism as far as he’s concerned. This is also what AIPAC’s central message has become, as Infidel dismisses the idea that Israel has any influence on Trump joining Netanyahu’s war.

He never acknowledges Netanyahu’s or his IDF’s war crimes. His empathy lies only with Israeli victims of violence. Palestinians who are beaten, killed, and forcefully evicted from their homes in Gaza and the West Bank are not on his radar. He even suggests they had it coming. Israelis are never the bad guys. 

His words are italicized below:

We will soon be hearing -- have already been hearing -- from the most twisted and ugly and morally depraved elements within the US.  The types who view this conflict as just one more opportunity for petty domestic political point-scoring.  The ones who would happily leave the theocracy in power in Iran, at a staggering cost in human suffering, if they fear its fall might be perceived as a "win" for Trump.  The vile Israel-haters of the far left and far right have already oozed forth with their Der Stürmer conspiratardia about evil Jewish manipulation of the US.  Don't listen to them.

This works one way. I would never accuse anyone who would "happily leave the dictators in power in China, Russia and North Korea, at a staggering cost in human suffering", if he didn't cheer for Trump starting a war with them.

The “conspiratardia” would include everyone who clearly understands Netanyahu and Hegseth pressured Trump to join Isreal’s war. As I noted, Trump’s director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent resigned saying: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

Behold the “ignorantsia”: Most Americans know very little about Iran, so they view this situation entirely through the lens of US politics -- thus their reactions to it are irrelevant.

Never mind Trump’s war is already having serious impacts on every American who has difficulty in affording what is essentially his dollar per gallon war tax. This will raise prices for food and other essentials. “Petty domestic political point-scoring”? No. We’re way beyond that. Consequences are felt here and across the world.

"My point is, Israel's enemies are proven liars.  They lie and lie and lie."

Yes, they do. Too bad Iran's enemies are also proven liars who lie and lie and lie.

BTW, Putin is the real winner. Again. He's raking in extra billions as we Americans pay dearly for gas and soon enough, paying more for everything else.

All because liars promise unicorns and rainbows in the Middle East if they kill enough people and “bomb them back to the stone ages”. Again, some of us are old enough to remember how well that same slogan worked in the Vietnam War.

“Trump can't keep track of what he's doing or planning. That's typical of a person with dementia. But the military knows what they're doing, and so does Netanyahu…Any such operation involves risks, but at least now there's hope.”

In other words, it’s war criminal Netanyahu’s war being joined by a demented war criminal American as Commander-in-Chief. The demented criminal commander has a sycophantic propagandist as head of the Department of Defense who has been actively denying promotions of black and female officers, while purging the higher ranks of anyone who questions, or is perceived as disloyal, to Trump .

What could go wrong? Is starting a war based on lies and “hope” wise? How many deaths are an acceptable sacrifice for lies and hope? How great a financial burden for working class and poor Americans is acceptable for lies and hope?

For an atheist, Infidel seems to have extraordinary faith in an indicted felon and war criminal president and his politicized military. I would suggest he examine the results of Trump’s politicized DHS and DOJ for some insight into how all this may develop. But of course, that would be the perspective of the “morally depraved, Israel-hating ignorantsia”.

Following this pattern of demonization, I expect the absurd accusation of “America-hating” to follow soon from the MAGA/Zionist axis of war enthusiasts.
