MR. Lindsey Graham is a senior US senator. Because of his seniority he has an input into aspects of government’s decision-making.
Here is how one of the well-known media houses chose to headline its reporting on Graham: “Graham says “no limit” of Palestinian deaths would make him question Israel.” This is contained in an interview Graham gave to CNN.
When asked if there should be a point where the line is crossed by Israel in its attacks in Gaza and Graham should start questioning Israel’s tactics in its war against Hamas, Graham answered, “no”.
I honestly believe that there are Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate that are psychologically questionable humans.
The danger is that these people are influential in the policy direction and decision-making machinery in one of the two most powerful countries in the world. When you digest what Graham is saying, it reminds you of the Nazis mentality.
The core of Graham’s attitude is that he accepts whatever casualties come about in Israel’s attack in the Gaza once Israel wins against Hamas.
I have read unlimited publications and watched unlimited documentaries on how the Nazis approached their goals in the conquest of Europe. For them, there were no limits to removing opposition to Nazi control in Europe.
This resulted in large-scale murder of Europeans, including mass murder of women and children. This is what is happening in Gaza as what happened in Europe under the Nazis from 1933 until the Nazis were defeated in 1945.
A few days ago, the Israelis accepted that there was a Hamas commander in a refugee camp and they destroyed the building, killing over 50 civilians. This kind of tactics is what Graham approves of. It came from his own mouth.
Here now is why the Israeli tactics in Gaza is being described as genocide. If the tanks believe a Hamas figure is in a school, a refugee camp or in a hospital, the tanks will destroy the entire structure.
These are crimes against humanity. Yet today, none of the countries in the world has asked for a warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest from the International Criminal Court. Bolivia broke off diplomatic relations with Israel over the crimes against humanity but has not asked for a warrant.
The test should be applied to the court to see how independent it is. If the same court could issue a warrant against Putin for transfer of children from Ukraine to Russia why not for the Israeli bombing of the hospital and the slaughter of over 4,000 Palestinian children?
In a previous column of October 21, I wrote the following about Senator Tom Cotton: Speaking in an interview on Fox News, Cotton said that Israel is justified in killing Palestinian women and children because Hamas killed Jewish women and children. This is the identical expression of Nazi killers when partisan fighters from Nazi-conquered European countries attacked German soldiers.
The Nazi regimes would line up women and children and kill them in retaliation for the attacks of the partisan resistance guerrillas. Cotton went on to display a perfect Nazi mind when he told the interviewer that Israel should further bomb the places they have already reduced to rubbles so as to make the rubbles bounce.
Do you think that the Russian government isn’t in possession of what Cotton and Graham have said? Putin no doubt is using these Nazi-like expressions to convince the Russian population that the war against the Ukrainians is justified. The Russian government is saying to its population that the Americans do not care about Palestinian lives in their support of their international strategic interests.
Russian officials are asking their people why should Russia forsake its security interests in Ukraine while the American president, American government and Congress are condoning Nazi-like tactics of Israel in support of what the Americans want.
American support for Israel’s committal of war crimes have handed the Russians the instrument for delivering the coup de grace in Ukraine and it is going to happen. One has to feel for the woman, children and babies of Ukraine. They are going to suffer just as how the Israeli jets are killing the Palestinian population in Gaza.
As Israeli war crimes continue in Gaza, we are not hearing about what the Russians are doing in Ukraine. It would appear that western government and the western media have shifted focus. But just as we feel for the women and children in Gaza, we must show the same empathy for the Ukrainian children and their mothers. Unfortunately, the world will be unmoved if Russia devastates the Ukraine because of the West’s double standards.
