It’s not just that the US is complicit in this genocide, the US itself is responsible for this genocide”.
A year after the events of 7 October, Joseph Massad speaks about Israel's response and what it has all meant and could mean for the region.
Massad speaks about how Israel acts as an extension of US imperial policy. His unapologetic analysis is that it’s an “absurd argument” that the US is being dragged into wars it does not want by Israel and rather the the US has “pushed Israel to be more aggressive in the region since 1967”.
We also speak about the prospect of regional war and how that will play out, the response of Arab countries which in his view have continued to support Israel, how the media have covered the last year, what has driven the devastation in Gaza, the future of the region and so much more.

I disagree with Massad on his take on both Russia and China staying out of this conflict if Israel and America attacks Iran. Both countries depend to an extent on Iran for oil. If the actions of Israel and the USA cut off that oil I can see China and Russia becoming involved.

I'm from Israel, Jewish with Yemen origin. I grew up in Gaza as a settler. Mr Massad is right. the racist elements in Israel are sadly supported by US. I also believe they were involved in prime minister Rabin murder when there was a chance for peace. I call on the US to support the two states solution and the Arab league to be involved that we want see atrocities and we can establish state where we are all equal. seems far as ever

1-The whole world did learned from previous wars and prepared a fortification of the defensive and offensive installations 2- Drones changed the whole price of war. 3- guerilla war is cheaper than ever and people are totally sure about the us hegemony and it's way to refuse any compromise ever. 4- China can develop infrastructures. 5- Russia/China can defend Africa that have a massive need for consumption to feed them gas, electronics, infrastructures need to feed the aging population in China and Russia in the next decades. 6- US labour is a highly cost economy and need cheap labour and repression over the world to run. 7- In switching to cheap labour around the world the us and the west has lost the industrial infrastructure and knowledge to be competitive in a lot of economic sectors. 8- US is having a huge inside split of the population and drug crisis. No social support to empower the population. 9. US can't produce low cost electric car to switch to ecological crisis... 10. US is losing the grasp on UN and ICC. It looks like I'm going to have a hard time to survive in the next decades. Thanks to the US empire that promote only few global corporations that don't even care about the US at all and corrupted on the way the politics in the west.

Then perhaps you can explain why Netenyahu was born in the US - maybe Ohio, I don't remember - educated here, and spent his higher education at MIT. Then, he magically was sent to Isreal. I don't know the year, maybe 1967? Please do your research and let us know what you discover if different than what I've learned. They are one and the same. Commom sense always has more than one perspective.

@@ShnNar1000x I'm familiar with the context. I'm talking about the operation itself. To cross into foreign territory, to kill civilians or to take them hostage, is not resistance, it's aggression, no matter who does it. The Inquisition burned heretics and ISIS beheads them. Is one murder and the other to God's greater glory? Doubletalk. I have the same argument with the other side.
