I have one quibble: Mr Larison writes, "It could not have done this without the blind support of our government."
I don't think any of this happened with "blind" support. It is not possible that U.S. authorities were unaware of the killing and devastation. I know Mr Larison is not suggesting a lack of awareness on the part of the U.S. Maybe "wifully blind" would be a clearer way to put it.
50,000 tons of weapons - what an obscene amount. That comes to roughly 500 pounds per murdered Palestinian. The Israeli state could have just dropped an anvil on the head of each of those Palestinians and accomplished the same result in terms of deaths. But that would not have caused the same amount of damage to infrastructure, and destroying the infrastructure seems to be at the top of the list in terms of Israel's objectives.
Yes, America is "the exceptional nation," "the essential nation." But "essential" to what? "Exceptional" in what way?

Moreover, Biden could have halted all of this, he could end this today.
With a single phone call.
