Last week, the American government platformed one of the worst human beings alive.

Benjamin Netanyahu got to address both houses of congress and was rewarded with countless standing ovations.

And while we were glad that Rashida Tliab, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders made their voices heard by opposing the consensus, it especially rankled by that a genocidal fascist was given so much airtime to spew his bigotry.

What would Franklin Delano Roosevelt have made of this madness? What’s happened to the United States of America which was resolutely opposed to fascist empires in the 20th century and how will this play out?

The American empire, having learnt well from its predecessor, knew the only way to justify its extreme barbarism was to depict the other as savages who needed to become extinct.

This line of thinking was quite useful in destroying Vietnam, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Panama Argentina, Iraq, Syria and Congo.

The political leadership of the state of Israel, have learnt quite well from their American paymasters, glibly portraying the Palestinians as ‘cockroaches’ ‘rats’ and other dehumanizing terms.
