The world is witnessing a disturbing escalation of violence as Israel launches a massive attack on Iran, a move that has been condemned by Russia as a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. This aggression is not an isolated incident but rather the culmination of Israel’s ongoing policies of aggression and expansion, which have included the genocide of Palestinians, destruction of Lebanon and Syria, and repeated assaults on Iran and Yemen.
At the heart of this issue lies the question of why Israel feels emboldened to commit such atrocities without fear of consequences. The answer, unfortunately, points to the unconditional support Israel receives from the United States. This backing not only enables Israel’s actions but also ensures that it faces no repercussions for its violations of international law. The sense of impunity among Israelis, as highlighted by Israeli dissident and genocide expert Raz Segal, is a key factor in their ability to carry out merciless attacks without remorse.
Washington’s response to Israel’s latest attack on Iran has been to claim non-involvement, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserting that the assault was “unilateral” and the US was “not involved.” However, this claim is hardly believable given the deep and pervasive symbiosis between the US and Israel. The idea that an Israeli strike of this magnitude could occur without American knowledge or input is inconceivable. Furthermore, President Donald Trump’s admission that he knew about the attack and his subsequent support for Israel’s actions contradict the official narrative of US non-involvement.
The US mainstream media and establishment have also played a role in perpetuating this narrative, citing Trump’s supposed opposition to the attack and suggesting that Israel acted in defiance of the US. Yet, Trump’s words and actions tell a different story. He has not only sided with Israel but also signaled his approval for further aggression, essentially giving Israel a blank check to continue its assault on Iran without limits.
This scenario reveals a troubling truth about the relationship between the US and Israel. The US elite’s willingness to subordinate American interests and international law to Israel’s agenda is now openly acknowledged. The lie of non-involvement serves only to highlight the extent of US complicity in Israel’s war of aggression against Iran. Following the trail of destruction in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the US and its allies are now targeting Iran, with Israel acting as the front line.
The international community is left to grapple with the implications of this alliance and the blatant disregard for international law and human rights. As the world watches, it becomes increasingly clear that the US-Israel partnership is built on a foundation of mutual interests that prioritize aggression and expansion over peace, stability, and the rule of law. This reality poses significant challenges for global governance, peace, and security, demanding a reevaluation of the roles and responsibilities of major powers in respecting and upholding international norms and laws.
