The sad and infuriating thing is that Israel itself is being and has been used as a military proxy by the international banking system for decades. In this respect Israel’s primary function has been to keep the Middle East unstable, arguably since the mid 20th century. By keeping the region in a state of perpetual chaos and violence an artificially generated need has been created for “choke points” where billions of dollars worth of oil shipping “protection” fees have been collected annually by a small alliance of European and US bankers (mostly) based in the City of London.(1)
With the assistance of agencies like MI6, the CIA and Mossad, the banking system functions as a kind of para-state that operates like a global mafia that now, due to 40-plus years of across the board deregulation and privatization, controls electoral politics and all privately owned Western major media. It should also be noted that this issue ultimately has little to nothing to do with “left” and “right” wing politics. In fact, this is one of the mechanisms that has been used (conflating questioning the international banking system and its shipping protection racket with partisan politics) to confuse and polarize the public. Similarly, the weapons manufacturing industry, which is financially linked to the same banking system, also makes gargantuan profits off of wars and general destruction in the Middle East and in other regions of the planet. It’s a multi-trillion dollar global business/racket which is essentially an international usury-centered ponzi scheme that is carried out by captured state (and other) military proxy “alliances”.(2),(3),(3a)
The general populations of nations are largely unaware of these details because they’re deflected by donor owned politicians (and by a “mainstream” media primarily owned by the same banking system and its associated oligarchs) who tell them that wars are primarily caused by religious differences, conflicting politics related issues or simply due to the presence of “evil others” in distant lands.(4) All the while though, behind the scenes, these banks/bankers are actually stoking these religious (and other) conflicts while accumulating more and more money, influence and power.(5) For them, the more wars and violence the better, because it equals more profits. None of this excuses the appalling, genocidal behavior of Israeli leadership. Rather, what’s being pointed to here is the root of the greed-propelled infection that has spread violence, disharmony, confusion and chaos all over this planet we share. Ironically none of what I’m typing here is even a secret. In fact it’s the most nefarious open secret in the world today.
I don’t think it’ll be terribly long though, before all of this is realized by a sizable portion of the public. When it is realized, hopefully, we (the people of the world) will be able to replace this anti-human “system” with as few disastrous upheavals as possible. Our eventually shared human destiny is one of world peace, non-violence and reconciliation, not one of perpetual war, confusion and destruction.
