Anti..

 



For all the post-September 11 focus on Islamic anti-Americanism, the world's reaction has exposed the variety, complexity and ubiquity of antipathy towards the US. 

In Argentina, Hebe de Bonafini, an internationally known human rights activist, has said: "When the attack happened I felt happiness."
In France, the editor of Le Monde Diplomatique offered his summary of the world's reaction: "What's happening to [Americans] is too bad but they had it coming.

"Although few America-haters resort to terror, their simmering rage not only incubates violence; it also provides the moral support that can transform a crime against humanity into the opening salvo of a political, religious, cultural and economic struggle. 

Anti-Americanism's most frequent expressions usually reflect a mish-mash of grievances. But one can identify five types: politico-economic, historical, religious, cultural and psychological. 

Politico-economic anti-Americanism represents a reaction to current US foreign policies: support for Israel or for repressive governments in the Middle East; the US's role in the Balkans; its embargo on Iraq and Cuba; the lack of support for the Kyoto protocol on climate change or for the establishment of the international criminal court. US economic policies also draw fire, whether for limits on imports from poor countries or for the use of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to advance US interests.  (Carnegie 7/2001)      Just a thought.

Dumb..

 


Nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions that Israel has used in Gaza in its war with Hamas since October 7 have been unguided, otherwise known as “dumb bombs,” according to a new US intelligence assessment.

The assessment, compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, says that about 40-45% of the 29,000 air-to-ground munitions Israel has used have been unguided. The rest have been precision-guided munitions, the assessment says.

Unguided munitions are typically less precise and can pose a greater threat to civilians, especially in such a densely populated area like Gaza. The rate at which Israel is using the dumb bombs may be contributing to the soaring civilian death toll.

Dumb ammunitions, was it intended?

Militancy..

Sullivan is also set to discuss efforts to release the eight American hostages who remain under Hamas control. (Exchange)
 Israel’s Minister of Defense, told Sullivan “ the war will last more than several months, but we will win and we will destroy them (Hamas),”
