US slaps sanctions on Israel

Remember the tsunami of sanctions unleashed against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine? Washington actually declared its first sanctions three days before the invasion. Within three weeks most of the “free and democratic world,” as America’s vassal states like to think of themselves, were solidly aboard. The haste of our response to Putin’s aggression stands in sharp contrast to our response to Israel’s far bloodier invasion of Gaza. Israel has killed more Palestinian civilians in eight weeks than Russia has managed in Ukraine in almost two years. The contrast was starting to get uncomfortable; our glaring hypocrisy an embarrassment. Today Washington took action; a visa ban has been imposed on “several dozen” extremist settlers who have been terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank! There you go! Don’t say America doesn’t care about civilian lives! Meanwhile, we will ramp up the delivery of 2,000 lb Bunker Busters to facilitate the IDF’s continuing surgical strikes against terrorists in Gaza. Israel has a right to defend itself.
