Among all the world’s countries, only the U.S. consistently backs the ethnic cleansing of Gaza that’s being done by Israeli troops and American weapons and intelligence.
Two days that will live in infamy will be this December 9th and December 12th: the U.S. Government was the only veto among the 15 votes on 9 December 2023 in a U.N. Security Council resolution for a ceasefire of the Israel-U.S. ethnic cleansing starvations and bombing to eliminate all Gazans from Gaza; and, then, on 13 December 2023 the U.S. was joined by only 9 other countries in a U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) vote AGAINST demanding this ceasefire — the other 9 nations (all being U.S. colonies or ‘allies’) against it were Austria, Czechia, Guatemala, Israel, Liberia, Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, and Paraguay.
An additional 23 nations abstained in order not to become punished by the U.S. regime: Argentina, Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Netherlands, Palau, Panama, Romania, Slovakia, South Sudan, Togo, Tonga, Ukraine, UK, and Uruguay. (They too are U.S. colonies but not as totally under U.S. control.)
The 193-nation UNGA vote on December 12th was: 10 against, 23 abstaining, and 153 for, the genocide-ceasefire resolution.
On the same day as the UNGA vote, U.S. President Joe Biden said “Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world supporting them”, but he hypocritically also warned Israel’s Government not to continue exterminating the Gazans: “They’re starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place” (Biden using there the passive voice “that takes place” — pretending that Israel and the United Sgtates Government aren’t the perpetrators of this crime. And also he hypocritically publicly warned Israel’s Natanyahu, “Don’t make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There’s no reason we had to be in a war in Afghanistan. There’s no reason we had to do so many things that we did.” He didn’t mention that he, Biden himself, had been a leader in the U.S. Senate, pushing, and voting there, for each of those policies (including the lie-based invasion/destruction of Iraq) that he now publicly condemns (as-if those hadn’t been his policies). Biden enables Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza but publicly criticizes it, and he does this knowing that his own Democratic Party voters aren’t intelligent enough to recognize that he’s a con-man fooling them, nor ethical enough to despise the ethnic-cleansing campaign that their own U.S. Government provides crucial armaments, bombs, and intelligence services to. Furthermore, America’s voters are tragically trapped, because no U.S. Presidential candidate is condemning Biden’s partnership-in-crime with Israel’s Government to ethnically cleanse, exterminate or drive out, all Gazans.
So, the U.S. Government will forever be damned for its solitary support of the U.S.-Israel ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Once the crime has been completed, there will be far less denial of who did it than there was when Jews were the main victims of a genocide (in the Holocaust) instead of its main perpetrators (such as Israelis now are).

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

Good article Eric, thank you. I would like to say imho that you, Eric, are using the “passive voice” when you say “America’s voters are tragically trapped”. Americans are trapped, but it’s not an accident. It happened because of their actions. Americans have repeatedly voted these corrupt Republican and Democrat Politicians into office, 95% of which who put Israel’s interests above America’s interests and above any semblance of morality. American voters are responsible for this genocide which uses Their Tax Money and Their weapons. Whether it’s because of willful ignorance or selfishness is irrelevant. A more accurate way to state… Read more »
I shouldn’t have used the passive voice. I should have said instead: Americans are evilly trapped by our billionaires, who control U.S. politics and politicians, including the ‘news’-media, and so are given by the billionaires ONLY neoconservatives to vote for, and vote for them. Because that’s HOW Americans are tragically fooled and trapped.
Go to hell, ‘Lilly Greenwood’.
Why does The Duran give automatic approval to every one of the spam-‘reader-comments’ from the ‘Lilly Greenwood’ person (which ‘comments’ I, as an author here, must then waste so much time — one-by-one — eliminating or otherwise trying to discourage)?
Would take pages to list all the nefarious activities of the US throughout the world. Pages…
Does anyone think that “Democracy”, which is the expectation that collective wisdom can result from individual ignorance, is the solution to the world’s problems? I have news for you.
Humans are out in space but have not yet figured out how to consistently produce good government using available resources. Blaming “voters” is like blaming a baby for having soiled diapers. What did you expect?
