As RFK jr put it, to paraphrase, Israel is our aircraft carrier in the middle east, our eyes and ears, etc. It's more than Israeli billionaires who want the Palestinians to be the boogeyman enemy, it's the whole western ruling class.
As "outside" so "inside" - external and internal colonialism. My view is that the two key components of the gross structural injustice that result in wealth and power inequality are: the land problem and the money problem. We need to eliminate profiteering in both via Public Banks and Land Value Tax shift.

Regarding the land problem, I think that the use of land in a local community should be determined solely by the local assembly of egalitarians: genuine democracy as I discuss at https://www.pdrboston.org/genuine-democracy-what-is-it .
John - Lots to discuss about this! I propose we have a zoom recorded public conversation sometime. We could start the planning process for this with a phone call. My number in Pennsylvania is 717-357-7617. Call anytime 9 to 9 EST if you wish to do so.

The Palestinian bogeyman also provides the US war on terror with a credible bogeyman enemy and thus enable US billionaires to control Americans.

Regarding the money problem, I think a) we should abolish the use of money, for the reasons I discuss at https://open.substack.com/pub/johnspritzler/p/why-abolish-the-use-of-money?r=1iggn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web ; and b) we can make a moneyless society this way: https://open.substack.com/pub/johnspritzler/p/what-is-an-egalitarian-economy?r=1iggn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web .
I wonder if what I propose is that different from what you propose. Is it?
