Israel would not realistically be able to wage war on Gaza without US support.
Citing a senior Israeli air force official, prominent newspaper Haaretz reported that, “without the Americans’ supply of weapons to the Israel Defense Forces, especially the air force, Israel would have had a hard time sustaining its war for more than a few months”.
Israel’s Ministry of Defense wrote in August that US arms shipments have been “crucial for sustaining the IDF’s operational capabilities during the ongoing war”.
President Joe Biden has repeatedly emphasized that Israel serves US imperial interests in a highly geostrategic region. In a speech in Tel Aviv in October 2023, Biden stated, “I have long said, if Israel didn’t exist, we’d have to invent it”.
Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, an ex US Army general who commanded NATO, similarly boasted that “Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security”.
The United States has protected Israel at the UN Security Council, shielding it from international law by repeatedly vetoing resolutions that called for peace and a ceasefire in Gaza.
Top UN human rights experts have warned that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza, demanding an arms embargo.
The onslaught in Gaza has been referred to as “the world’s first livestreamed genocide”.
Scientific experts published an academic article in leading medical journal The Lancet in July estimating that 186,000 or more Palestinians in Gaza will die due to Israel’s war. This is nearly one-tenth of the population of the densely populated strip.
Ignoring rulings by the International Court of Justice, the US government has continued flooding Israel with weapons.
As of July 2024, the Biden administration had given Israel $18 billion in military aid. This is significantly higher than the roughly $4 billion in unconditional military aid that the US government provides to Israel in an average year.
In August, the US State Department approved additional arms packages for Israel worth $20 billion and $3.5 billion.
The Israeli military reported on August 26 that, since October 2023, the United States has sent it more than 600 arms shipments.
The US “operation has delivered over 50,000 tons of military equipment to Israel via 500 flights and 107 sea shipments”, Israel’s Ministry of Defense wrote.
It stressed that the US “equipment procured and transported includes armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical equipment, which are crucial for sustaining the IDF’s operational capabilities during the ongoing war”.
The September report in Haaretz, titled “Israeli Air Force Official: Without U.S. Aid, Israel Couldn’t Fight Gaza Beyond a Few Months”, makes it clear that the only reason Israel is able to continue this genocide in Gaza is because Washington is facilitating it.
Before 1967, Israel was sponsored by the European colonial powers, principally the British and French empires. However, following a 1967 war on its Arab neighbors, Haaretz noted, “Israel then switched over its dependence on a foreign power to the United States, which provides the air force with all of its fighter planes and some of its bombs, missiles and intelligence equipment – on top of the development of joint weapons systems for all three layers of air defense”.
It was the British empire that had helped to create Israel in the first place. In the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the Crown gave its blessing to Zionist settlers to establish a colonialist Jewish state in Palestine, because it assumed they would be loyal proxies of the British empire.
The founding father of the Zionist colonialist movement, Theodor Herzl, had written a letter in 1902 to the genocidal British colonizer Cecil Rhodes, praising him as a “visionary” and boasting that the Zionist project was “something colonial”.
Just as the United States absorbed parts of the British empire after World War II, Washington also inherited the Israeli colonial project and became its imperial protector.
For decades, Biden has reiterated that Israel is a strategic outpost of the US empire.
In 1986, he said, "Were there not an Israel, the USA would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region".

As a senator in 1986, Joe Biden boasted on the floor of Congress, “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region; the United States would have to go out and invent an Israel”.
Biden added, “I think it’s about time we stop, those of us who support, as most of us do, Israel in this body, for apologizing for our support for Israel. There is no apology to be made. None. It is the best $3 billion investment we make”.
In 2022, as US president, Biden reiterated that, “if there were not an Israel, we would have to invent one”. He then repeated the same phrase in a 2023 press conference in Israel.
For his part, Israel’s far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made no secret of the fact that his regime’s goal is the colonization of all of historic Palestine.
In September, Netanyahu appeared with a map that completely erased the West Bank.
Israeli minister and security cabinet member Avi Dichter, a member of Netanyahu’s ultra-conservative Likud party, boasted in 2023, “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba”. (The Nakba refers to the mass ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians, upon which Israel was founded in 1948.)
Where is the West Bank on this map? Israeli PM showing that Israel’s aim is to erase the Palestinian people and take the rest of our land! Imagine if a Palestinian politician did this. pic.twitter.com/pTuH3vAkmj

Another important section of the American economic system is based on Hjalmar Schachts scams. He financed Nazi-Germany and invented multiple economic scams, e.g. the *“MEFO-exchange”. During the Nuremberg trials it was clear that he was not just a poor victim as Wipipedia describes him today.
The MEFO-scam was a threat to the stability of the German currency. As a result of the scam, Nazi-Germany would have to increase the banknote circulation of the Reichsmark, just like the Dollar today.
One of the key factors of the MEFO-scam was that these “exchanges” did not appear on public records, just like the missing $21 Trillion in the failed Pentagon audit, which Lee Camp mentioned.
*Quotes from the Nuremberg trials (translated from German):
”MEFO bills of exchange” were issued by arms factories and accepted by a limited liability company. The word “MEFO” came from: “Metallurgical Research Company m.b.H. From the initial letters the name of this enterprise is formed. The company had a nominal share capital of 1,000,000 Reichsmarks and was therefore only a dummy company. The bills of exchange were accepted by all German banks for a possible rediscounting with the Reichsbank. The bills of exchange were guaranteed by the Reich. The secrecy was ensured by the fact that they did not appear either in the public balance sheets of the Reichsbank, or in the budget figures.“

Other Nazi-methods which the American leadership is using till this day:
Quotes from the Nuremberg trials (translated from German):
Sanctions and coups:
„In the course of the evidentiary proceedings, I will read out further parts of the affidavit (by former American ambassador Messersmith in Austria). These refer to the pressure exerted on Austria with terror and intimidation, which ultimately led to the unsuccessful coup of July 26, 1934. To achieve their goal, the Nazis exerted pressure in every possible way. First of all, they applied economic pressure. With the German law of 24. In March 1993, a fine of 1000 Reichsmark was imposed on trips to Austria.” (Proof: Reichsgesetzblatt 1933, Part 1, page 311).
Sponsored terrorism and International Propaganda:
„The Nazis used propaganda and committed terrorist acts, especially bombings.“ (proof: affidavit of Mr. Messersmith, 1760-ps)
„If you take into account that during the war considerable funds are needed to organize the necessary propaganda in order to be able to pay for the spy service and similar purposes, one must be aware that our domestic mark would be of no value and that therefore foreign currency is necessary.“ (Speech by General Thomas on 1 November 1937 in front of the Wehrmacht Academy)
Theft of foreign assets:
“Another source from which Schacht drew funds to finance the secret armament program were the assets of political opponents of Nazi rule and the market assets of foreigners.” (Proof: Communication from Schacht to Hitler on May 3, 1935, No. 1168-PS)

For anyone who is interested in reading the Nuremberg trials as well, I quote from the book-series: “Der Nürnberger Prozess gegen die Hauptkriegsverbrecher vom 14. November 1945 – 1. Oktober 1946” published on 1984 (13 books, 23 volumes ( = 2 volumes per book + index)). The books state that the Nuremberg trials were published in Russian, German, French and English. Hjalmar Schacht and his MEFO-scam for example are mentioned in the first book (Volumes 1 and 2), the Hamman reports are mentioned in the third book (Volumes 5 and 6).

*Hemmen reports, not “Hamman”… -.-´
Sorry, that’s what you get when you use the sound of one language and the letters of another.

Put crudely: the state of Israel would simply not exist if it were not for the US/UK and vassals. No wonder so many in the Arab and Muslim world consider it a modern crusader state. Like the original crusader states, Israel will not last. In the meantime however, the US/UK will continue to arm, fund and support Israeli genocide.
And millions of US dwellers will vote for the R brand or the D brand of genocide. (just like in the UK, C or L brand). No matter what the outcome of Elections Inc., provocations of nuclear war, genocide, oligarchy, kleptocracy and the Washington Consensus will prevail.

These fraudsters are at war with the majority of citizens inside their own nations. They don´t give a damn about the people who live inside the country in which they are currently staying, that´s why they also call themselves “Nomad Capitalists” sometimes. The more corrupt their puppets in government positions are, the easier it is to blackmail them. The rhetoric distractions which the media is spamming 24/7 is just there to distract ordinary people from the fact that they are being robbed and from the real perpetrators.
“Look at these terrorist here or there, look at the criminal foreigners here or there, look how fat this celebrity has become, look at how Venezuela, Russia, China, Mexico, Brazil, etc. are interfering in our elections, look how much of our oil Syria stole from us, look at the evil Russian, Arab, Chinese, Mexican and all the other “enemies” who are currently the scapegoats, I mean “roots” of all your problems, look at anything, but us or what we do!”
The UN was allegedly founded to prevent Genocides. If it is allowed to Veto measures which are aimed to prevent a genocide, e.g. Article 42 of the UN Charter, and Veto measures to change or adjust that by adding additional ARticles for example, then the UN lost it´s purpose and credibility, something the US empire was aiming for a long time.
