the mainstreaming of genocide is becoming apparent in israeli media. here max blumenthal provides more clarity on how that ties to america’s WOT and what that means for palestine and the rest of the world, e.g. other frontier areas such as north waziristan, in pakistan, where the 4th geneva convention about the protection of civilians (rules related to proportionality and distinction and the deliberate targeting of civilians) can be jettisoned. that doctrine was and is very much at work in iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, etc. it is especially evident in america’s drone war. max also asks us to reconsider the trope that a most desirable national entity (modern, fully industrialized democracy, with educated population) cannot possibly commit genocide.
