A few quotes:

(...) Right now, of course, the world is witnessing yet another U.S. bombing campaign, the latest in a series that seems all too predictable (and futile), meant to teach the restless rebels of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and possibly even Iran a lesson when it comes to messing with the United States of America. (...)

Israel is systematically destroying Gaza, rendering it essentially uninhabitable for those Palestinians who survive the ongoing rampage. In fact, early in its war of annihilation, Israeli leaders cited the Allied destruction of the German city of Dresden in 1945 in support of their own atrocious air and ground campaign against the Palestinians.

Looking at this dispassionately as a military historian, the Dresden reference makes a certain twisted sense. In World War II, the Americans and their British allies in their “combined bomber offensive” destroyed German cities indiscriminately, seeing all Germans as essentially Nazis, complicit in the crimes of their government, and so legitimate targets. Something similar is true of the right-wing Israeli government today. It sees all Palestinians as essentially members of Hamas and thus complicit in last year’s brutal October 7th attacks on Israel, making them legitimate targets of war, Israeli- (and American-) style. Just like the United States, Israel claims to be “defending democracy” whatever it does. Little wonder, then, that Washington has been so willing to send bombs and bullets to its protégé as it seeks “peace” through massive firepower and genocidal destruction. (...)

Putting [the issue of genocide] aside, it’s undeniable that Israel has been using indiscriminate bombing attacks and a devastating invasion in a near-total war against Palestinians living on that 25-mile-long strip of land, an approach that calls to mind the harrowing catchphrase “Exterminate all the brutes!” from Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. (...)

Try to imagine such events from the perspective of a historian writing in the year 2200. Might that future scribe not refer to repeated U.S. invasions of, incursions into, and bombing campaigns across the Middle East as a bloody crusade, launched under the (false) banner of democracy with righteous vengeance, if not godly purpose, in mind? Might that historian not suggest that such a “crusade” was ultimately more about power and profit, domination and control than (as advertised) “freedom”? And might that historian not be impressed (if not depressed) by the remarkable way the U.S. brought seemingly unending chaos and death to the region over such a broad span of time?

Consider these facts. More than 22 years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. still has at least 30,000 troops scattered across the Middle East. At least one Navy carrier strike group, and often two, dominate the regional waters, while striking numbers of military bases (“Little Americas”) are still sprinkled across countries ranging from Kuwait to Bahrain, from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates and beyond. So many years later, about 900 U.S. troops still illegally occupy part of Syria (not coincidentally, where that country produces most of its oil) and 2,500 more remain in Iraq, even though the government there would like them to depart.

27.11.2023 Fünfzig Jahre nach der "Ölkrise"

Damals, als die Politik noch handelte

(Bild: Magnussen, Friedrich CC BY-SA 3.0 DE) Bis 1973 gab nur die Maxime "je mehr und schneller, desto besser". Erst in der sogenannten "Ölkrise" im Herbst 1973 - ungefähr ein Jahr nach Erscheinen des Berichts zu den "Grenzen des Wachstum" des Club of Rome - gab es ein (kleines) Umdenken. In Westdeutschland verordnete die sozialliberale Regierung von Willy Brandt vier autofreie Sonntage ab dem 25. November. Außerdem galt für die vier Wochen zudem Tempo 100 auf Autobahnen und 80 km/h auf der Landstraße.

Die "Grenzen des Wachstums" waren der Mehrhet zu dieser Zeit nicht bewußt. Es ging in erster Linie darum, gegen die Preiserhöhungen der arabischen Staaten ein Zeichen zu setzen. Deren Preispolitik sollte mit Sparappellen abgewendet werden.

Immerhin stellte Heise.de fest: 70 Prozent der Bevölkerung sollen damals ihren Energieverbrauch eingeschränkt haben. Die Menschen sparten Strom, regelten die Heizungen herunter und fuhren langsamer. Heute passiert das nicht mehr freiwillig, sondern nur noch bei denen, wo das Geld wirklich vor dem Monatsende alle ist.

Damals - wie heute?

Schaut man auf das Ergebnis der Sparmaßnahmen, so ergibt sich, dass Schätzungen zufolge das Sonntagsfahrverbot rund knapp 10% Benzinersparnis bewirkt hat – in etwa so viel wie das Verhalten der Bürger nach den Sparappellen im Winter 2022. Allerdings gingen oder radelten viele Deutsche damals fröhlich auf Autobahnen und Straßen, während heute Maßnahmen wie ein Tempolimit, geschweige denn ein autofreier Sonntag im Mainstream nicht diskussionswürdig sind.

Bereits bei der 2. "Ölpreiskrise" 1979 waren wirkliche Maßnahmen nicht mehr drin - es blieb bei Sparappellen und Preiserhöhungen. Heute kann ein arabischer Staat den Journalisten Kashoggi in seiner Botschaft zerstückeln, deshalb wird die enge Freundschaft - im Klartext Abhängigkeit - und der Import von Öl und Gas von dort nicht in Frage gestellt.

Wall Street Journal: #Israel Agrees to Delay Invasion of #Gaza So U.S. Can Rush Missile Defenses to Region

— "Israel has agreed, for now, to a request from the U.S. to get its air defenses in place to protect U.S. troops in the region ahead of an expected ground incursion into Gaza, U.S. and Israeli officials said.

The #Pentagon is scrambling to deploy nearly a dozen air-defense systems to the region, including for U.S. troops serving in #Iraq, #Syria, #Kuwait, #Jordan, #SaudiArabia and the United Arab Emirates, to protect them from missiles and rockets. U.S. officials have so far persuaded the Israelis to hold off until those pieces can be placed, as early as later this week.

Israel is also taking into account in its planning the effort to supply humanitarian aid to civilians inside Gaza, as well as diplomatic efforts to free more of the hostages held by #Hamas, officials said."
