The American left-wing magazine "Counter Punch" published an article by Melvin Goodman, a senior researcher at the "Center for International Policy" in Washington, in which he explains that the Israeli killing machine and America's collusion with it are endless.

The writer pointed out that no American democratic administration was prepared to challenge the excesses of Israeli policy, including the administration of current President Joe Biden.

He said that there are many indications of clear American collusion in favor of Israel, including Biden's embrace of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a few days after the attack by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in October of last year, and the arrival of Secretary of State Anthony Blinken only 5 days after the attack, and his statement that he did not come to Israel as US Secretary of State only, but as a Jew.

Genocide

Goodman asserted that the United States has been complicit in almost every aspect of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, as well as ignoring Israel’s brutal policies against innocent Palestinians in the West Bank, and taking no action to restrict the supply of American weapons to Israel, noting that 70% of the weapons used by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon are American.

He added that the United States’ silence in the wake of the deadly explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies across Lebanon is another indication of the United States’ unwillingness to condemn Israel’s heinous acts of terrorism.

Corrupt and Globally Embarrassing

He described Blinken’s recent statements in Cairo urging “all parties” to avoid steps that could “further escalate the conflict we are trying to resolve” as corrupt and that they have only embarrassed the United States in the Middle East, as well as on the larger world stage.

The article listed many American policies that clearly demonstrate the United States’ bias towards Israel, and attributed to Senator Chris Van Hollen, one of the few senators who stress the need to hold Israel accountable, sarcastically saying, “If Israeli behavior conforms to international standards, God help us all.”

An incurable disease

The writer went on to say that Israel’s plan to displace and persecute Palestinian Arab communities was clear even before the declaration of the State of Israel, and that the current hostilities in Gaza and the West Bank are an integral part of Israel’s policies, as the Israelis have always asserted that Palestine is “a land without a people, for a people without a land,” and they have always denied the existence of a people sharing the land with the Jews.

Goodman said that Israel’s denial of the Palestinians is an incurable disease.

He concluded by saying that it is quite clear that Netanyahu’s strategy is to eliminate both Hamas and Hezbollah, regardless of the cost to Israeli prisoners or Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, yet there is no indication that the Biden administration will oppose this strategy.
