NATO’s goals can seem abstract when the sympathy and anguish of the world’s people are focused on the systematic destruction in Gaza. It is the most unequal struggle imaginable. Yet the Palestinian resistance is so powerful that Zionist planners and generals admit that they have failed to break this indomitable liberation struggle, even after nine months. Palestine solidarity is a global phenomenon.

With [Zionism’s] foreign minister an invited attendee at the NATO Summit, while publicly carrying out these repeated and utterly criminal attacks on defenseless civilians, the people of the world can only assume one thing: The intended NATO message is that war without limit is the new norm.

NATO seeks to normalize relentless war on civilian populations. It is a desperate effort to maintain its deteriorating world position through sheer terror. Such acts will fuel far greater resistance in West Asia and worldwide.

    The US has a lot of leverage, but I think Israel is an equal partner in their relationship. They rely on each other rather than Israel just being a client of the US. Also, should we call Australia or New Zealand neocolonies? Their relationship is basically the same.

      The US can survive without Isn’treal, but I don’t think the reverse is true. They need our UNSC veto, military/intelligence support, and yearly billions in aid.

        The US can’t survive without superprofits and the Zionist entity is a crucial component for their extraction and distribution.

        It’s how the world’s oil supply is secured for Western interests, trade through the Red Sea is secured for Western interests (which makes the attacks in the Red Sea an extremely powerful tool!), and the movement of people from Africa into Asia and eventually Europe is heavily restricted to maximize the availability of superexploitable labor in Africa for Western interests.

        Israel is so critical to the US, and the West as a whole, that I really don’t think it could survive without it. “Were there not for Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region.” This puts them into a strong position and makes them into an equal partner, because if Israel falls the West will fall soon after. Inshallah

        It would suddenly find itself paying through the nose for oil; unable to control commerce through the Red Sea and thus crippling its ability to extract resources from East Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia; unable to control the movement of people out of the underdeveloped African regions necessary for extracting superprofit; without Israel, the whole imperial project implodes.

        I don’t think Israel could survive without the US, but I don’t think the US could survive long without Israel either.
