Let’s All Thank Western Governments For Their Tireless Peace Efforts
Taxation And Representation, What More Could We Want?
Correction: The article first stated that Israeli PM Netanyahu ordered an airstrike from his United Nations office, but he seems to have done this from his New York City hotel room instead.
It must be so frustrating being a U.S. government official, every day working feverishly and tirelessly to establish a ceasefire in Gaza, only to end up with more genocide, acts of international terrorism, and an expanding regional war. But thankfully, I think this time, right after sending the latest 8.7 billion dollar military aid package to Israel, they are finally going to get through to Israel and get those ceasefire deals done. I know this because the Israelis are nothing if not reasonable people who have a documented history of welcoming any proposal for peace.
So, as the Israelis deal out justice in Lebanon by taking out civilians and children by the hundreds each day, and amass their troops at the Lebanese border in preparation of a possible ground invasion, and war planes are flying off to bomb Yemen, we should be thankful that the United States’ tireless diplomats are using whatever leverage they can to create the ceasefire they are so feverishly working for, which is why they are telling Israel that these are all decisions that they have to make themselves while sending a clear message to Iran that the U.S. will not accept them making the decision to exploit the Israeli expansion of the conflict in order to expand the conflict.
Words cannot describe how comforted I am when the president of the United States, who is so senile that he thinks he runs the world, tells us that he is more aware than you know and that he is comfortable with them [the Israelis] stopping. That comfortableness is but one of many actions that U.S. officials and their subordinate counterparts in Europe are taking to stop the violence that is now being unleashed upon Lebanon. They are also comfortably making sure that Israel has enough weapons with which to attack all its neighbours so that it can defend itself, while also comfortably making sure that Israel knows that diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region. Those noble words must be echoing in Netanyahu’s head as he wipes out entire neighbourhoods with his 2000 kilogram U.S.-made bombs right before giving a speech at the United Nations, whose motto of ‘peace, dignity, and equality on a healthy planet’ to this day compels each nation to decisive action, so that no leader representing a nation found responsible for apartheid can ever hope to set foot inside its doors.
So let us all thank our elected representatives for navigating this complicated issue and ensuring that those committing genocide, instituting apartheid, committing and defending rape, and normalizing the committing of war crimes and international acts of terrorism are brought to justice, and join the jubilant U.N. special rapporteurs on human rights in their praises of these tireless efforts. I think our leaders are well on track to becoming part of that long, respected line of Nobel Peace Prize winners like Henry Kissinger and Barack Obama, who have worked just as tirelessly to do their part in ensuring the peace and brotherhood of men.
