Writes Patrick Foy:
Tufts doctoral student, Ms. Rumeysa Ozturk, has been ordered released from a Louisiana ICE detention center. Hurrah! You may recall her kidnapping off the street in Somerville, Massachusetts some weeks ago. What a lovely country.
What was her crime? She co-wrote an op-ed in the college newspaper in support of the Palestinians. That’s it. A thought crime.
Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State, is the front man who ordered and is justifying her abduction and that of other foreign students who have dared to criticize Israel’s ongoing genocide taking place Gaza. Little Marco’s argument is that such conduct (exactly like the once-peaceful protests at Columbia) endangers U.S. foreign policy “goals”.
I’d love to know what this little man thinks those magnificent goals are. As we know, U.S. foreign policy, such as it is, is subordinated to Israel’s. That was true under Genocide “clueless” Joe and is even more so, if this is possible, under Donald “Israel First” Trump.
[Please refer to SpyFail by James Bamford. Israel’s well-funded covert agents have been working inside the U.S against its college students with complete impunity for years under bipartisan administrations.]
Going far out on the limb, Marco has proclaimed that student dissent and protests undermine the fight against “antisemitism” and even more ridiculously, “…could undermine the Middle East peace process by reinforcing antisemitic sentiment in the region and around the world and ultimately threatening a U.S. foreign policy goal of resolving the Gaza conflict peacefully.” So there! What a joke.
Can you believe it? Evidently, the current administration believes the average American Joe is brainwashed and stupid enough to accept it. There is little in the mainstream press, including Trump cheerleading Fox News, to contradict it.
Besides, what “peace process”?! There is none. It ended a long time ago, perhaps in 2000 with the blowup of the Camp David talks sponsored by “Wooden Indian” Bill Clinton or maybe later at the 2007 Annapolis Conference. Both were a sham.
As a practical matter, there is now simply no land left for a 2-state solution. None. Israel has taken all of Palestine through occupation, subjugation and genocide. God bless America for making it possible. No wonder college students are angry.
It seems that the current goals of American foreign policy under Trump and Rubio are the obliteration of Gaza with American arms and the establishment of Greater Israel, which would include all of Gaza and the West Bank, as well as East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan Heights.
Since there is no known daylight between the indicted war criminal Bibi Netanyahu and President Trump, such a goal is reasonable to assume. It is the next step. With Little Marco leading the charge as spokesman.
