And by doing that, it will make everyone, including American citizens, less and less protected.
Look, you know, for a long time I've been thinking that Israel had the capacity to exert so much influence on the United States and I couldn't figure out how.
I don't think it's that, in the sense there is something deeper and it's the fact that we are fooled by this idea of states representing us.
No, eventually states are in the hands
of powers, military power, economic financial power, and the power of the algorithm.
And this is why today imagining states as responding, serving the interests of people, it's a fallacy.
This is why I don't feel like blaming all the Italian citizens for what their government
or our government does.
And in the same way, I don't blame all the American people, also because there are so many American peoples who cannot meet ends.
And I've seen this with my own eyes.
When I was in Washington DC, I used to volunteer in shelters in underprivileged
neighborhoods and I see the contradictions of the country.
So I would expect the states to take care of this rather than investing taxpayers money on seeding worse and seeding hatred all around.

It's the United States who needs Israel for its right now, its imperialistic purposes.
And again, it's not the United States as a country.
It's the United States as serving specific interests, which is very sad.
