The British and “Christian” Hand in the Gaza Slaughter

The world is now reacting to the Israeli killing of Hamas protesters in Gaza on May 14th. The bloodshed occurred on the same day the American Embassy opened for the first time in Jerusalem, to great fanfare from both U.S. political parties. Over sixty one Palestinians were killed and 2,700 were wounded. The culprit here is not Donald Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, something every American President in modern times has promised but, ultimately, not delivered. The actual culprit is the City of London and its British imperial institutions which, since the Sykes-Picot treaty of 1916, have utilized the Middle East (a British imperial term for Southwest Asia) as a simmering, resource dense, looting ground and periodic geopolitical hand grenade in great power conflicts. Both sides, in the Arab/Israeli conflict have deep and longstanding ties to the City of London. The area has been a continuous British playground for religious based violence and counter-insurgency since even before the British and French colonial powers carved up the area in 1916 under Sykes-Picot.READ MORE
