Re: Forum Question - why are we seeing simultaneous Israeli attacks in Occupied Gaza...

Because it's all part of what I've called the Israelization of America... You say "Occupied Iraq"? I say "the West-Bankization of Iraq".

The whole Abu Ghraib mess is merely mirroring the tit-for-tat between Israel and the Palestinians... IDF tanks thrust into some hamlet in Gaza or the West Bank --allegedly to destroy a "missile fabric", killing a dozen "terrorists" in the process and, as world opinion is on the point of voicing its condemnation... Bang! a suicide-bomber blows himself up in an Israeli bus --turning public opinion upside down and back against "barbaric terrorists"...

Likewise, we can expect each and every war crime committed by US troops in Iraq to be offset by equally horrendous "terrorist" atrocities by Iraqi insurgents. So the question is, where will this bloody chain-reaction stop? If US authorities can't find some sort of stopgap exit out of the escalation, we might be in for another 911... The "positive feedback" (*) between Israel/Iraq and the US picks up unabated --and the US democracy itself (or what's left of it) is what's ultimately at stake.
