Since the 1970s, the U.S. war machine has engaged in geopolitical manipulation in Southwest Asia, using Israel as a weapon to conduct neocolonial looting.

April 4—The White House claimed today that President Biden had made clear to Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel had to: stop harming so many civilians, provide humanitarian aid, and agree to a ceasefire-for-hostage deal; otherwise, the U.S. would alter its policy towards Israel. Netanyahu’s office announced hours later that they would: allow more aid from Jordan through the Kerem Shalom crossing into southern Gaza, temporarily open up the Ashdod Port for aid, and at some point, open up the Erez Crossing in northern Gaza. Biden also underlined strong support for Israel against Iranian threats.
