Ex-CIA Analyst: US Responsible for Gaza Genocide by Empowering Netanyahu

"What people want is an end to the textbook case of genocide that we are enabling as the American government. Israel could not do these things, could not engage in genocide. Let's say the word is very clearly defined in international law, and the Israeli leaders have done us the favor of saying, yeah, we're cutting off water, we're cutting off food, we're cutting off energy supplies. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. We're going to flatten the place," McGovern stressed.

"Is the US supporting Israel? Why? Because of the Israel lobby. Because of money. Arms trade. Because the Congress has completely co-opted. And you can't get elected to Congress without the support of the lobby and because the president is delusional... He's living in the 1980s or 70s or 60s. And his recent op-ed shows that he's living in a dream world, in a world that he thinks the United States can lead and should lead and everyone else should pay attention and obey the US. It's really crazy. It's going to get us into trouble," the political activist clarified.

"But at 81, he's not with it. So who's running this show? Zionists. Pure, simple Zionists like Blinken, like Nuland, like Jacob Sullivan. They're running the show and they really have a personal stake in this because if they come out smeared with respect to the Middle East or worse still with respect to Ukraine, they will be personally responsible for losing the election, and then perhaps even losing their freedom, since the courts now have ample evidence of bribery and everything else, not only against Hunter, but against Joe and other equally serious crimes, against Blinken and against Sullivan in 2016 and 2020," McGovern stated.

"So what are we hearing in the media now? Well, we should have a humanitarian pause for now and then a ceasefire, mind you. Just a humanitarian pause. Now, put those phrases together. We need a humanitarian pause in the genocide. In other words, four hours a day, we'll let some trucks and some for food and then we'll go back to the genocide. Give me a break. There's no humanitarian pause and a genocide. The ceasefire. Yes, the ceasefire. And Biden expressly rules out a ceasefire twice. And that I bet that he has sensibly wrote yesterday for The Washington Post," McGovern stressed.

"It's genocide as well as ethnic cleansing. There's a fine line distinction between the two and international law. But the bottom line is the United States is arming Israel, is funding Israel, is standing 100% with Israel. If the US said stop, Bibi Netanyahu would stop the next day," the former CIA official emphasized.

"If I said a little angry, I never thought I'd be part of a country that enables open genocide, advertised as such by the Israeli leaders themselves, saying that they cut water, they cut food, they're going to cut off gasoline, and other fuel," McGovern stated.

"I mean, how can we talk dispassionately about, well, you know, maybe they're just displaced, maybe they're not killed. My God, the bill for anybody who drove in, driven out of their homes and, you know, these are the descendants of the 750,000 Palestinians that were driven out of where they lived for centuries in 1948," the former CIA official clarified.

"There was great celebration when Israel got its own state. I was nine years old. Nobody told me that there were people already there called Palestinians, not only for centuries, but for millennia. Okay. So that's that's the heritage of all this. People in Gaza, descendants of those people, most of them. And now they're suffering a second Nakba, which is the Arabic word for disaster. And we are responsible for it because we are enabling Netanyahu for lots of reasons," the political analyst stressed.

"So, you know, it's going to be really bad because the Arabs, the Turks and the Iranians, they're not going to put up with with much more of this if there's a leveling of south Gaza. I fully expect the US troops in Syria, uninvited by the way, the US troops in Iraq sort of acquiesced in by the Iraqi government. They're going to get killed. And then Biden's going to have to figure out what he does then," the ex-CIA officer noted.

"Rhetoric. That's all rhetoric. Biden will do what Netanyahu tells them to do. That's clear. When this thing happened, when Hamas did attack Israel, two days later, Bibi calls up Biden and said, I need you to come here immediately. Biden gets on a plane that evening and arrives there, pledges full support. It's just like Netanyahu inadvertently mentioned on air. It's crazy. This 80%. It's absurd. Well, it is absurd, but it's reality," the former CIA official claimed.
