Trump, simple Genocidaire Larbin Netanyahu
He promised peace. He claimed to want to end the “endless wars”. He boasted of talking about the big ones of this world. But once again, Donald Trump falls the mask. Faced with Iran, the former American president plays the big arms … on behalf of Netanyahu.
By ordering the strikes against Iranian nuclear sites – on the night of Saturday to Sunday – Trump did not act in strategist or chief of state concerned with world peace. He simply obeyed the requirements of Israel unable to hit alone the most sensitive facilities in the Islamic Republic. A submission that speaks volumes about real power relations between Washington and Tel Aviv. Fordo, the main target of this operation, was out of reach of Israeli missiles. It was therefore necessary that the US Air Force entered the scene to perform the work. And Trump, once again, was content to play the role of the strong man … without strategic independence.
This last episode only confirms what many already feared: Trump, narcissistic president obsessed with his own image, is not only the armed wing of Netanyahu in this new regional climbing, but also his accomplice in the current genocide in Gaza. His silence on Israeli crimes, his systematic vetos with UN resolutions, his massive deliveries of weapons to the Israeli army and his without condition financial support make him a central actor of the Palestinian drama.
In full genocide in Gaza, the Trump administration has maintained an uninterrupted flow of ammunition, precision bombs and fighter planes. And this, despite international calls to a ceasefire and documented evidence of serious violations of international humanitarian law. The contrast is striking between the isolationist discourse he held during his campaign and the reality of his actions: far from emancipating himself from the pro-Israeli lobby, Trump fully marries the line, at the risk of alienating part of his own electoral base, tired of military adventures in the Middle East.
