NOVANEWS
In Yemen the Americans are at war with whom then call “al-Qaida “affiliates” who have mestatacized throughout the Middle East. Drone killing machines, CIA black ops, propping up the repressive government, are the order of the day; along with evacuation of Americans. Similar Pakistan by the way.
In Syria the same Americans and their Arab “client regime” allies (Saudis, Qatar, UAE, Jordan) are arming and financing the “al-Qaida affiliates” in that country trying to topple the long-time secular regime there. hmmm? Memories of Bin Laden as U.S. ally in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation come to mind – i.e., the origins of al-Qaida in the first place!
In Egypt the Americans keep preaching democracy (after a generation of backing the brutal thuggish Mubarak police state) but are now accused of being too supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood after it legitimately won both the Parliamentary and Presidential elections. The Americans and EU keep calling for the release from prison of Brotherhood leaders and national dialogue and reconciliation; but keep arming and financing the military coup and counter-revolutionaries.
Yet in Palestine the Americans are doing the opposite once again — refusing to support Hamas, the Brotherhood affiliate which won the last elections — and are propping up the illigitimate regime of Abbas and the “Palestine Authority” in Ramallah with large amounts of money, weapons, and CIA covert assistance. Here the Americans keep helping the Israelis imprison and kill the elected leaders as together they make fools and quislings of the PA.
From country to country in the Middle East the U.S. has quite literally become hypocrisy central with blatantly contradictory policies that suit their political interests, and those of the Israeli/Jewish Lobby that dominates Washington on all matters Middle Eastern, but defy both basic American values and logic (not to mention long-term interests).
About the only consistency in all this now is that more and more American Embassies are fortresses, more and more American officials are isolated and afraid, and more and more Americans far and wide are being evacuated.
More to be said soon about Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait…
