If this isn't Pax Zionica, then I don't know what is. Jerusalem Post proposes debt relief for young Americans to recruit 750k–1.5M troops for Israel's #IranWar. War costs & Israel aid already exceed this. Americans are cannon fodders for Israel. America has become all but a colony of Israel.
Screenshot of a Jerusalem Post article page. Header shows the newspaper logo and navigation links including “CONFERENCES,” “ISRAEL NEWS,” and “WO.” Main headline: “Economic enlistment for indebted military-age Americans.” Body text discusses failed narrative around a potential war, low U.S. recruitment numbers versus needs for an Iran invasion (750k–1.5M troops vs. ~452k active Army), and proposes a federal debt-forgiveness enlistment program for 18–34-year-olds carrying high non-mortgage debt (student loans, credit cards, etc.), offering full discharge after 24–36 months of service plus GI Bill benefits to boost voluntary enlistment.

It’s like Palantir saying: “Our viagra and drink-spiking tools aren’t for raping civilians — they’re only for raping civilians on the way to rescuing hostages.” The world isn’t stupid. No amount of words can fool people anymore. Palantir is associated with Palestinian genocide in Gaza, Palestine.
