The extreme violence of the U.S. and Israel cannot conceal their profound weakness w/ Laith Marouf
During the administration of George W. Bush, the U.S. government, with the enthusiastic support of Israel, embarked upon a project to destroy all countries in the Arab and Muslim world that refused to bow to U.S. hegemony.
One by one, the U.S. and its allies destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Lebanon.
Now, they're seeking to complete the destruction of Palestine and Yemen.
After all the carnage that the U.S. and Israel have inflicted on the Arab world, the 'last man standing' in the region is now Iran.
But the U.S. and Israel confront a major obstacle. That obstacle is their own profound weakness.
Sensing that the U.S. and Israel are their own worst enemies, Iran now appears to be playing for time.
This week, I discussed the state of Western wars of hegemony with Beirut-based, geopolitical analyst Laith Marouf.
It is a gangrenous entity
People resort to violence unnecessarily when they don't operate in good faith, and so choose violence over peaceful co-existence. But violence does not pay: cooperation and fairness is the most efficient policy, and the US and Israel will be the poorer for this poor choice: the great majority of the world is against them. The Fate of people in Gaza and West Bank must not and will not be left to the destructive machinations of US and Israel.
