A Danger of Contagion: How the War on Palestinians Threatens the Entire World

The danger of escalation to a worldwide event increases by the day.  The world is not with the US or Israel on this one. Live-streamed genocide will do that to you. T It is obvious that Netanyahu wants this to spread.  Perhaps the most frightening possibility would be a direct attack on US interests that would pull the nation into a war that could rapidly escalate worldwide. It’s definitely been done before to pull nations into war and to think Israel is not up to this is beyond naive. And never forget Israel has nukes.  Evangelicals are staunch supporters of Israel, no matter what atrocities they commit for numerous batshit reasons, none of which are really about seeing Jewish people as human.  When Israeli political leaders are saying openly genocidal statements, speaking of using nuclear weapons to wipe out Gaza—let’s take them at their word.  I am struck by the obvious and also symbolic racism from people who want to claim that geography as their own ancestral land, but have an obvious racism against the non-whites who really are from there. The existential danger to much of the world is still real even if Israel is behaving like an unhinged cult.
