“We don’t shed tears over dead Arabs. We don’t shed tears over dead brown people.”

He says that at 50:20:

That’s part of this lengthier excerpt starting at 48:49:

48:45

Many thousands more are going to die because Israel doesn’t give a damn about these people. Israel is carrying out a

48:50

policy of collective punishment and Israel knows it’s going to get away with it because it’s already slaughtered Palestinians, committed genocide, and it’s

48:58

gotten away with it. Nobody’s doing anything to stop them, so Israel’s now focused on bombing Lebanon, and the

49:05

goal is to inflict so much pain on the Lebanese people that they rise up and reject Hezbollah But I have a feeling

49:12

that it’s going to backfire, that the people aren’t going to rise up against Hezbollah, because they consider Hezbollah to be

49:18

part of the Lebanese social and political fabric. This will just harden the resolve

49:24

of Lebanese against Israel and against the United United States. It’s a, it’s a horrific gamble on the part of the

49:29

United States, to use Israeli genocide, because this is the genocide of the of the Lebanese people. It

49:36

is — they’re treated as a as a subhuman class, and they’re being murdered with

49:42

no consequence, and America has attached itself to this policy because somehow we think [that], through this

49:48

genocide, we can achieve a policy objective vis-a-vis Hezbollah. It’s a

49:53

sickening, um, reality of American policy, that I mean everybody says that they

49:59

know this about America, and we should know, because we did it in Iraq — we killed millions — uh, we did it in Afghanistan,

50:05

killed Millions, um, we don’t care and we’ll do it again in Lebanon, either directly, uh, with uh, with our own bombs —

50:13

we’ve done that in the past, or indirectly using Israel as a proxy, but we’ll, we’ll kill as many as necessary to

50:19

achieve this — we don’t shed tears over dead Arabs, we don’t shed tears over dead brown people, uh, that’s just a harsh

50:25

reality of it, um, although I have to say that this family was whiter than I am, so

50:31

I, you know, when I say, when I say dead brown people, it’s just stupid. I mean, we don’t even know what we’re talking about

50:36

when we talk about Arabs and the Lebanese and and the Levant, uh, and the, and the and the wonderful mix of, you

50:42

know: she’s a Russian, she’s from Lugansk, um she married her her husband, uh, who is,

50:48

you know, from, from Beirut, but he’s a Christian, I believe, and, um, you know, you —

50:55

I’m sure there, in there, there’s French blood, and there might be other blood, and it’s just all this wonderful mix that’s

51:00

what makes Lebanon such a wonderfully diverse country, is this blend of Mediterranean uh cultures and peoples,

51:07

and internationalism, um, and now they’re being bombed by this hate-filled genocidal

51:13

maniac, named Benjamin Netanyahu, and they’re being supported, Netanyahu is being supported in this, by the ignorant

51:19

Americans, who are so indifferent to Arab, um, suffering, that we’re willing to let

51:24

Israel commit genocide of the Lebanese peoples so we can attain an unattainable objective, uh, with with Hezbollah. It’s not

51:32

going to work, America. America will fail on this, like we failed on everything. This is just an open challenge I have for

51:37

anybody, you know; and if you see an answer in there, put it up there, and I I’d love to hear it. I, I challenge

51:44

anybody in your audience right now, to tell me one thing America’s done since the end of the Cold War that’s been

51:49

beneficial for Mankind — one policy initiative — because all I see is, us, uh,

51:55

bombing Serbia, expanding NATO, taking out Muammar Gaddafi allowing Libya to collapse,

52:02

illegal war of aggression against Iraq and Saddam Hussein, uh, there I challenge anybody to give me one thing, just one,

52:09

that America’s done that says oh America cares about the world. We don’t. All we do

52:15

is death and destruction. We have become literally the global Pariah. We are the worst nation in the world when it comes

52:23

to treating the world, and it’s not just the big ticket stuff, what have we said

52:28

about Congo, what about the cobalt and all the other rare minerals that are pulled out of the ground in Congo by

52:35

little children who rush down there with their hands and they do this poisoning their bodies, and they’re going to die a

52:41

miserable death, uh, with half the life expectancy. What about the millions of

52:46

Congalese who have died in the ongoing fighting that takes place which we facilitate because we want that kind of

52:52

chaos so that we can gain access to these materials, which we need for our cell phones. America has done that. That’s

52:58

what we do. That’s what we’re all about. We have done nothing good. We have a military-industrial complex that can

53:05

only exist when there are a constant state of crises in the world, so we facilitate the crises.

53:12

It might sound like a little policy thing that the stupid Georgetown postgraduate people talk about in their

53:17

little seminars, but each one of these policy things about generating crises results in dead human beings, hundreds of

53:24

thousands if not millions of them, and all America’s fault. We haven’t done

53:30

anything that’s good. Nothing. Everything we’ve done is bad, and I hate to say that

53:35

as an American, but it’s the truth. there’s not one single foreign policy initiative that we’ve undertaken that

53:42

was done for the benefit of humanity.

The only thing I think he gets wrong there is his laying the blame SOLELY upon the American people, who merely accept this rotten Government that is imposed upon us by our billionaires, the few individuals who profit from it, as they do enormously. That is a very big thing he gets wrong, because he is falsely assuming that today’s America is a democracy, but this country is instead a dictatorship by its billionaires, whose AGENTS include not merely the news-media but the prestigious universities and think tanks and ‘charities’ or ‘non-profits’ (which are PR agencies and lawful tax-dodges for them); but, also, the U.S. Government and its appointees. Study after study have proven that what ‘our’ Government does reflects not the priorities of the U.S. public but instead the priorities of our richest 1% of our richest 1%. This is an aristocracy, NOT a democracy. Ritter’s basic assumption to the contrary is FALSE.

Ritter is an enormously courageous truth-teller, but he unfortunately gets the EXPLANATION wrong.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest 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.
