Hafta letters: Trump’s win, questions on migration, organic farming in India

In Hafta 508, the discussion of hypocrisy came up with regard to US actions in the international arena. Actually, I don’t think they are as hypocritical as it looks. They are remarkably consistent in their actions. We should be clear in understanding that when the US says they want the “right” thing, they always mean that they want the “white” thing. Go back decades and you will always see that it is always whiteness that drives their actions. They hate Hitler and Nazis because they killed millions of Jews. But they never even acknowledge the worst mass murderer in world history – King Leopold – who killed more than 10 millions Africans in a short span. 

Their worry is not the killed. But rather who is killed. The killing of European Jews is wrong. The killing of Native Americans, Africans and even Asians is “complicated”. Once you see this linear thread in US/West policies, their support of Israel in its extermination campaign of Palestinians (Arabs) makes perfect sense.
