It is Simple Math: Two Wrongs Don't make a Right

Bibi Netanyahu, previously a prime minister of Israel, came under criminal indictment prior to returning as Israel's prime minister in 2023. Too weak to form his own government, he was forced to align with a far right-wing faction to complete his coalition. Immediately, his coalition was on the ropes. An unprecedented 100,000 Israeli citizens took to the streets to protest his extreme policies, including an on-going attempt to re-order the judicial system and make it subservient to the executive branch. Governments worldwide shunned him; even Joe Biden refused to invite him to the White House. Then, Hamas attacked Israel, and killed 1300 Israeli citizens. Suddenly, Netanyahu is the toast of the town. Coincidence? I think not. 

Israel's Mossad is one of the most effective intelligence agencies on Earth. Their network of informers riddle the ranks of Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, and even the Iranian government. So, how is it that a ragtag group of Hamas of fighters with a couple of bulldozers can breach Israel's multi-billion dollar wall separating Gaza from Israel, and commence in a wholesale slaughter of Israelis? Egyptian intelligence informed Israel that an attack might be imminent, as well as did the U.S. Bibi did nothing. Now, he has carte blanche to level Gaza, and soon turn it into a series of Israeli settlements extending the full length of what used to be the Gaza Strip.  

Speaking of math: The customary ratio of dead Palestinians to dead Israelis in these affairs is 10:1, even as high as 20:1. This current affair started out 1:1, when 200 dead Israelis matched the 200 dead Palestinians. A weak later, it was about 2:1 - 2400 dead Palestinians, 1300 dead Israelis.  

Maybe, when that ratio grows to the standard imbalance and the number of Israeli human rights violations shame even Joe Biden and America's media horde, we will unclip our tongues and speak out for humanity.

Yo Man, there's a hella lot of unclipped tongue chatter towards that Gaza drama goin' on now, and like you tagged it "Simple Math:...", most people viewpoints and opinions equate it to rocket science. All I know and care to expend brain cells towards resolve is that the U.S. needs to rethink the foreign policy for the sake of saving face when unknowingly defending or supporting efforts that are violating human rights, even though the biggest human rights travesty is ever present right here within our own borders!! No doubt in my mind that the age old reasoning & timeless principle of TRUTH will prevail in every individual human being ultimately...leaders of people will have a special time/type of judgment. Keep Bangin' Cuz!
Peace,
