Phyllis Bennis speaking knowledgeably, rationally, and dispassionately about the wake of October 7th. 27minutes. The introduction and interview does not start until 6 minutes in.

From a personal perspective, I suggest that the unconditional political support by U.S.of A. of everything good and bad about the policies and actions of the Israeli government is actually interfering with the introspection of the Israeli people regarding their own nation. Our nation is being supportive of what the Israeli people are questioning as unacceptable about their own government policies!
It is past time for us to get out of the way and stop interfering in and manipulating in ways that are intended to benefit us more than anyone else. In actuality we have no business "influencing" people in any other region of the world the way we do. It ain't our neighborhood!!
We will no longer be able to walk down the street in any other neighborhoods of the world if we do not mend our ways, and stop interfering with the rights of the people in other nations to steer their own ships of state in ways that are for their benefit, not ours.
