The latest genocidal plot against Gaza involves the direct involvement of US mercenaries. Snip:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet is expected to approve a plan to establish concentration camps in Gaza, operated by mercenaries from a private security firm run by former US and Israeli intelligence officials and special forces commanders, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on 22 October.

The US security firm, GDC, plans to establish “humanitarian bubbles” in Gaza. The Israeli army will be tasked with “clearing” any such bubble of Hamas fighters and erecting a separation wall around it within 48 hours.

Entry to these compounds will be prohibited except for residents who live in the neighborhood and submit to biometric identification.

Regarding the plan, US journalist Dan Cohen reports that “the Biden administration has approved the deployment of 1,000 CIA-trained private mercenaries as part of a joint US-Israeli plan to turn Gaza’s apocalyptic rubble scape into a high-tech dystopia.”

      I hope the liberals who supported this administration can look back at this tragedy in a decade and despair.

      They won’t. Even the ones that virtue signal about being against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, don’t really mean it. It’s just focus grouped campaigning.

            Means testing is the practice of limiting eligibility for social programs based on poor people’s income, assets, etc. The amount of resources it ostensibly saves the government is usually soaked right back up by the armies of clerks needed to perform all the extra processing and surveilling entailed. It is an absurd and cruel practice, but it doesn’t seem to be what you’re talking about.

      They’ll despair as much as they have in the aftermath of the Iraq war; that being not at all and to blame ‘the experts’ who told them nothing was wrong with Israel or its actions; the same experts who said Iraq had WMDs, experts they’ll refuse to stop listening to.

      Regardless of what choice they make it’ll never be their fault, or if they accept some fault, it’ll only be very minorly their fault.

      in a decade

      No, that schedule is reserved for cognitive-dissonating that rounding up immigrants into labor camps is a good thing, actually
