ISRAELI Carnage in Gaza horrendous:

2,000+ Murdered 80+% civilians
ONLY Power Plant Destroyed
NO Electricity
NO Water
NO Sewage
30,000 to 40,000 Homes and Buildings FLATTENED
500,000 residents put to flight with nowhere to go
6 U.N. Schools BOMBED = Refugees MURDERED by Israelis
TARGETING OF GAZA ECONOMY by Israel
175 major factories taken out
MASSIVE increase in 47% unemployment rate expected.

ISRAEL’S grim, criminal, and unbalanced destruction of GAZA = Punish civilians.

ISRAELIS = Indiscriminate assaults on civilian populations

ISRAELIS = Committed to ever worse actions and ever more PUNISHMENT and MURDER

ISRAEL = MAKING NEW ENEMIES AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE as children are traumatized and primed for revenge of their families LOSSES. = Self-fulfilling prophecy + Defeat in Global Opinion + Americans are FED UP WITH ISRAELI VIOLENCE AND MURDERS while giving then $233 BILLION since WW II.

History Proves = Air strikes and related attacks meant to break the “will” of a populace ACTUALLY Create more support for MOVEMENT for FREEDOM.

9ll was Bush-NEOCON excuse to CONTROL “the Greater Middle East” = Create “the arc of instability.” = WEAK FAILED NATIONS EASY FOR MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS TO EXPLOIT.

USA created the SO-CALLED ARAB SPRING BY STRANGLING FOOD SUPPLIES AND DRIVING UP FOOD PRICES for Millions living on $2 / DAY. That was on top of Afghanistan (2001=2014) and Iraq (2003-2012). Then there was Libya (2011) and EGYPT OVERTHROW of its elected Government to install an ISRAEL FRIENDLIER MILITARY DICTATORSHIP very soon after Hillary’s visit. = Transforming most of the Greater Middle East into a genuine arc of instability.

Now USA combined with BIG OIL MONARCHS & ISRAEL fund $3 BILLION to ISIS/ISOIL = HIRED CONTRACT KILLERS to MURDER SYRIANS AND IRAQIS and capture OIL FIELDS to EXPAND THE OIL MONARCHS MONOPOLY OIL POWER..

USA has DESTABILIZED Pakistan democracy + Afghanistan is a nation-building disaster + Iraq is a 3 WEAK STATE disaster area + Syrian is UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK BY ISIL SUNNIS (QATAR FUNDED) = no longer a country but warring extremist after Assad + Kurds are endangered.

Turkey has become a BIG OIL MONARCH conduit for SUPPLYING ISIS including illegal GAS WEAPONS.

Lebanon is battling ISIS extremists for the control of a border town.

Egypt, the military DICTATORSHIP is back with a FAILED ECONOMY

Libya = disintegrated economy and chaos following OVERTHROW by AQ CONTRACT MURDERERS/U.S./NATO. = Fighting in Tripoli destroyed its international airport with Egyptians threatening an intervention.

Reverberations from the chaos in Libya = Spreading across North Africa and heading south.

Only Iran Remains in one piece.

BIG OIL MONARCHS = Saudi Arabia + QATAR = Bankroll ISIS/ISIL remain as AGGRESSORS. = SEEK EXPANSION OF THEIR MONOPOLY ON OIL.

Vast region Bush NEOCONS blithely called the arc of instability is in utter chaos as they devolve into WEAK FAILED STATES ideal for EXPLOITATION BY CORPORATE CRIMINALS = A world is unified in turmoil and deterioration and human pain = Thousands die and millions are uprooted from their homes.

WORST NIGHTMARE = Destroyed and Destabilized worse than ever before = ISRAEL MAXIMIZED VIOLENCE AND MURDER OF INNOCENTS.

ISRAEL = LOVES TO “MOW THE LAWN” every 2 years (Chomsky refers to this) that could have easily been avoided BUT ISRAEL BENEFITS with MILITARY SALES with one MONTH OF WORLD ADVERTISING THEIR SKILLS AT MURDERING AND INTIMIDATING CIVILIANS. + USA FUNDS THE MURDERS AND BLOCKS THE UN FROM TAKING ACTION AGAINST ISRAEL.

For 8 years = Israel and U.S. IGNORED repeated opportunities FOR a diplomatic solution in Gaza. = Choosing MURDER AND DESTRUCTION of ENTIRE FAMILIES and UN FACILITIES.
