The USraeli Empire is hastening its own demise.
By attacking Iran during ongoing negotiations, it has ensured that a negotiated peace is now impossible. Not only with Iran, because it has now precluded any possibility of any government anywhere trusting the US or Israel (which merely reinforces what has always been the case, but it leaves no room for doubt).
The economic and political fallout from USraeli behaviour is isolating and weakening its position in the western colonial empire and threatening the power of that empire. US and Israeli narcissistic Hubris will guarantee their fall.
The white supremacist rhetoric only works when it's backed up by a huge arsenal of weapons, including propaganda and that war has already been well and truly lost.
It remains to be seen if the dying empire will unleash a nuclear Armageddon in order to try to save itself from the inevitable.
One has to hope not.

Are you really so dumb
That you can't see the truth?
Is your life force so numb
Are you that fucking aloof?
Is your empathy dead, Have you not got a heart?
You believe what is said
Though their lies have no art?
When it's your turn to suffer
Do you think we will care?
When you have nothing to offer
Those of us who dare
To dream of a life
Without the obscene;
Without endless strife Or the evil we've seen?
You hide behind those
Who destroy other lives And yet you suppose
Your own safety survives
How very ignorant
You must certainly be!
How very arrogant To be unable to see.
And when it's your turn, Don't expect any grief Or care, or concern, Or any relief
'Cause your privileged place Isn't promised, you know:
The human race Is ONE, although
Your supremacist views
Made you think you were shielded,
Well I have some news:
Your cage isn't gilded.
We have to drop the pretence that the US has EVER been a civilised, morally based society.
There is a wealth of evidence showing massacres of indigenous and black people, lynchings, murders, assaults, theft either with the blessings of the authorities or actually by the authorities themselves.
This has been happening throughout US history without a break.
The USA is also responsible for undermining and overthrowing benign governments all around the world, using a variety of tactics which culminate in invasion if that is the best option for exploitation, resource theft and profit for the military industrial complex.
The Corporate US Empire just took over from the British Empire and then incorporated Nazis into their system of economic and political dominance over the globe.

Imagine activists vandalising a factory producing Zyclon B for the Nazis to gas Jews with in 1944.
And the UK government calling them terrorists and jailing them without bail for years.
And then arresting anyone who agreed with their moral stance.
This is comparable to what's being done to Palestine Action and its supporters.

I think the root of evil is narcissism and the ego feeding off each other,
I would presume narcissism is basically a mechanism of self preservation and protection, but our society induces and promotes it and in people whose ego is inflated, it becomes pathological. This is obviously more likely to occur in men.
I know good people with significant narcissistic traits which make them toxic at times. Without healing, it hurts themselves and those around them. It destroys relationships and people.
Love is empathy. There is immense pain in seeing those you love suffering needlessly. I say needlessly because I believe that empathy can be used to heal, but there is additional pain in rejection of that empathy.
And then the cycle of injury pain continues.

Millions of humans and trillions of non-human animals are tortured and murdered every year to feed the insatiable greed of a relatively small number of narcopaths. The populations of Western countries are complicit if they don’t at least try to extract themselves from the colonial capitalist system
I'm reassessing my definition of the US-Israeli relationship based upon increased understanding.
It's an alliance of equally sociopathic entities who are working with the military industrial complex in order to increase their overall political and economic power and control, whilst individually, it's about amassing personal wealth, power and immunity to prosecution for either corruption or war crimes.
Like most antisocial personality disordered groups there is always a competition for dominance and control between those involved, but in general, they help each other to dominate others.The actions of Israel are therefore part for its own psychopathic aims and part for the wider (also psychopathic) aims of the US empire, but both are intrinsically intertwined with the profits of the military industrial complex which has become something of a raison d'etre for most policies due to the immense sums of money that can be made.
We cannot really rationalise the actions of those driven by insatiable greed. Any claimed aims or justifications are merely excuses for the pursuit of riches.
These are criminally insane entities run by delusional and psychotic individuals.
