I found this an illuminating and persuasive discussion of what's going on. I hope Doctorow is right about the Pentagon's behind the scenes role and about his hope that Trump, if he wins, will adopt a more intelligent and realistic approach to Israel.

Doctorow emphasis on the larger picture of BRICS is also welcome. While it is cold comfort for those in the current battle zones in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran and even Israel, we should be encouraged by the impressive development and mobilization of the BRICS nations, led by Russia and China, and the Global South in general as an effective counterweight to the U.S.A. empire and its increasingly pathetic allies.
