Absolutely disgraceful isnât it. The richest country in the world bombing the shit out of the poorest. With the help of their allies, The US,UK, France and Israel.
âIt may never be possible to know the true death toll of the modern Western wars on the Middle East, but that figure could be 4 million or higher. Since the vast majority of those killed were of Arab descent, and mostly Muslim, when would it be fair to accust the United States and itâs allies of genocide?â - Physicians For Social Responsibility.
They calculate the body count of the Iraq war at about 1.3 million, and possibly as many as 2 million. The actual death toll could reach as high as 4 million if one includes not just those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also the victims of the sanctions against Iraq, which left about 1.7 million more dead, half of them children, according to figures from the United Nations.
The numbers are mind numbing. No amount of blaming the victims, ie, Muslims, can change the facts, Muslims are being killed, unmercifully, and Anti-Muslim narrative is âblame the victimsâ. The stench of hypocrisy is overpowering. Assad is the elected leader of Syria, fighting against terrorists unleashed by NATO, whereas our allies, the Saudis, are fascists slaughtering the people of a sovereign state. And people in this country throw their arms up in the air in shock and outrage when we get a rare blowback and bombs go off in our cities, or someone in a lorry mows down pedestrians. Of course these people hate us, why on earth wouldnât they? This is all being done in our name, like it or not, Of course our governments are not stupid, they know very well the laws of cause and effect, atrocities in our countries are factored in. For all their outrage and faux horror when it happens, the harsh reality is that, for them, it is a price worth paying. And the arms sellers are rubbing their hands with excitement. Every missile fired, every bomb dropped has to be replaced.
And Theresa May will go to church this Sunday as usual. How does that work?
