An Editorial Opinion
Obeying court orders is something ordinary Americans willingly do every day. After all, we strive to be members of a law and order society.
Yet, obedience to court orders means nothing to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his massive army of MAGA patriots. Likewise, obedience to court orders issued by international courts means nothing to President Joe Biden and his Democratic lackeys.
There is not a dime’s worth of difference between the Trump and Biden political tribes when it comes to obeying court orders. If they like a particular defendant, they say, “fuck the courts.” If they dislike a defendant, they praise the court orders against him/her/it.
This brand of tribal hypocrisy best describes each group’s situational reverence to the rule of law.
In my view, both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are devoid of a moral compass. Because Biden is obviously senile, he may not have any compass at all.
When it comes to the topic of Israel's campaign of genocide in Gaza, please remember these important historical facts:
1. The United States government and its armed forces subjected 55 million Native Americans to genocide in the pursuit of Manifest Destiny and Indian Removals during the 1700s and 1800s.
2. The United States permitted its colonies and states to subject hundreds of thousands of non-compliant African slaves to genocide over a period of three hundred years. Legal and political systems were created to codify the authority for this genocide. Nearly two million African slaves died during the Atlantic Slave Trade’s barbaric Middle Passage across the ocean.
3. The United States did not enter World War II to save Polish and German Jews, Gypsies, Gay and Lesbian Germans, Physically Disabled Germans, and Black Germans from Adolf Hitler’s holocaust. America knew about the holocaust (which began in 1933 and ended in 1945), but did not care enough about the plight of six million holocaust victims to stop it. America only entered the World War II in response to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
4. Today, political campaign cash and endorsements from Jewish political action committees have made Republican and Democratic politicians alike blind to Israel’s campaign of genocide in Gaza.
5. The only nation that went to the International Court of Justice to stop Israel’s genocide against innocent Palestinians is South Africa. On Friday, the Court ordered Israel to halt its campaign of genocide in Rafah. Israel has refused to do so. Biden is supporting Israel's defiance of this court order.
6. Earlier this week, the International Criminal Court began the process of seeking arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli war criminals. Biden is opposed to the arrest of Israeli war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.
Once again, the United States government is aiding and abetting genocide.
