Put yourself in the shoes of an Israel-firster. How would you go about selling war-crimes and slaughter to the world? It would really need some creativity and persistence from you. Perhaps, as with many difficult projects, it would be best to proceed indirectly. For example, an army might choose to avoid a direct frontal attack on a fortified position by going around the fortified obstacle.
That point of view is useful in considering Trump/Hegseth's embarrassing and shameful approach to regime change in Venezuela. Recall Hegseth's despicable speech condemning "stupid rules of engagement." He actually let the cat out of the bag: oil, leftist government, and narco-terrorism are just noise and obfuscation. It is a giant deception.
What the Israel-first Trump regime really cares about is getting Americans used to the idea of their own military acting criminally and murderously -- that is, like the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces.) They want it to seem normal for war crimes to be committed in the name of fighting one flavor or other of 'terrorism.'
That way, Israeli atrocities in Gaza and elsewhere will seem normal and boring. Americans will say, 'Yea, we have to use strong methods against terrorists in our neighborhood, and Israel has to use harsh methods in their neighborhood. Such is life.' This will weaken the momentum towards anti-Zionism that is happening around most of the world.
