'Itching for a War': Biden Deploys U.S. Troops to Israel as Netanyahu Threatens Escalation with Iran

We look at Israel's threats to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran as fears grow of a broader regional war. We speak to analyst Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, about the Biden administration sending U.S. troops and the top-of-the-line THAAD missile defense system to Israel. "There are no direct and clear U.S. interests at stake here," says Parsi. "Every time Israel escalates the war, Biden rushes in to protect Israel from the consequences of its own escalation," incentivizing Israel's escalation of tensions in the region and risking drawing the U.S. into war with Iran, he adds.

What’s becoming so obvious to people now is that colonialism has never ended just rebranded with different terms. From Natives indigenous people being called “savages” in the old days to now being called “terrorist” by neocolonialists who are neoliberals, neoconservatives, and zionist.

1) Savages is now “terrorist”

2) Civilizing them is now “bringing them democracy”

3) Colonies is now “territories”

We can all see Israel is a colonial project being supported by former and current colonials such as U.S, UK, and others who also control territories of indigenous natives in Caribbean Islands, Pacific Islands, Hawaii, and many more.

The liberation of Palestine will definitely give RISE to many indigenous natives around the world to free themselves from western domination. This is the underlying ripple effect that the U.S government and its puppet allies don’t want to happen

Can you imagine the embarrassment of any US soldier whose legacy would be "they died to protect a genocidal rogue apartheid nuclear armed state against 12 year olds with stones"?
