Trump exasperated: “Israel must calm down” – even his allies can no longer

Donald Trump, historic support from Israel, expressed a rare and brutal exasperation. Asked about the Israeli strikes that occurred after the entry into force of the ceasefire with Iran, the former American president dropped: “I am not very happy … Israel has really dropped a lot of bombs … they really have to calm down, these types. »»

This outing owes nothing to chance. It reflects growing weariness, including in the most fervent supporters of Israel, faced with a state that systematically presents itself as a victim while carrying out a war -free war policy. In Gaza, Israel leads an offensive of unprecedented brutality, documented by the UN and qualified as genocide by many NGOs. But that is not enough for him: he also bombes the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen – always in the name of “self -defense”. It is no longer just a military strategy: it is a project of territorial expansion, colonization and domination, based on an assumed racialist supremacism. Palestinian life is denied, erased, systematically dehumanized. And yet, despite the massacres, despite the blatant violations of international law, impunity continues.

But a rocking point seems to approach. Trump, however little regarding human rights, itself seems overwhelmed by Israeli arrogance. Its public annoyance marks a turning point. Because at this rate, Israel runs towards total isolation. Soon, it will only be supported by the extremes right of the world, go to the war, the racists, the convinced supremacists-and all those for whom it still strengthens the law.
