Yesterday, at the behest of its religious extremists,
the USA moved its embassy to Israel to Jerusalem. The Palestinians of Gaza
protested, 58 were shot by Israeli troops, and reportedly nearly 2,800 were
wounded.
Also, Gina Haspel, who tortured for the CIA
back in the aughts, has acquired enough Democratic votes, including that of the
Senate Democratic leader, to win approval as CIA director.
Two lines, I think, have been crossed. First, a
major foreign policy shift has been undertaken to satisfy an authoritarian religious
minority. Second, the Bush/Cheney torture policy has been validated by a
bipartisan consensus in the Senate.
F’ity F F F.
