Has America fallen or is it just me?

Has America fallen or is it just me?
Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign (CPSC) protest, Ireland.

I tweeted today, the tweet reads:

They loudly announced they would sanction and silently remove it. I’ve never in my life seen US imperialism and PR lies as clearly as I do today. Peaceful protesters violently arrested, genocide being committed for land theft. Free Palestine. Up the protesters. 🇮🇪🇵🇸✊

Here's a synopsis of what I allude to that only happened in the last few days:

  • The Biden administration removed a sanction very briefly placed on an Israeli IDF battalion guilty of human rights abuses.
  • Columbia University (US) protesters for Palestine and faculty were arrested with violence for peacefully protesting.
  • After those protest arrests circulated across social media and news outlets, the Columbia protest grew and many other universities were inspired to set up their own.
  • Now multiple universities have seen similar violence from police, including one subjected to tear gassing and rubber bullets being fired on peaceful students.

It seems like every time an Israeli voice is platformed, they speak and it's an American accent. More and more I can see that Israel is a colony/extension of the US, and as such it secures US interests in the middle east. The illegal settlers, American. The army soldiers, American. Not all of them sure, but it seems like a huge amount. And they require the expulsion of the Palestinian people to complete the colonial project.

Joe Biden and his administration, are talking about Iran suppressing protests and imposing sanctions on them, while they say not a word about US students having rubber bullets fired on them, except of course to condemn their protests. They are so blatantly everything they pretend to care about when other countries do it. This as such, isn't quite an Israeli genocide of Palestinians, it's a US one. Because without the US, this would not be happening.
