Trump's so-called "beautiful peace in the Middle East", hasn't prevented the Israeli army from letting loose against the Palestinians of Gaza, on many separate occasions, under the pretext that Hamas has been breaking the 10 October "cease-fire".

    When asked about the latest multiple air strikes which massacred 104 civilians, including 46 children, Trump wasn't in the least bothered. "If they [Hamas] don't behave themselves they will be killed, if they are good they will be happy and if they are not good they will be terminated... they know that".

    Yes, these are the words coming out of the mouth of the man who heads the most powerful state in the world - albeit a state in decay, like the rest of the capitalist world, which might explain a few things! But even so, he is a mere representative of US capital... in other words, the biggest global businesses.

    Backing Netanyahu wasn't ever about overcoming Hamas nor destroying Gaza. This may have been the ultra-Zionists' objective, but it wasn't Trump's, i.e., the aim of the American capitalist class. For them it was an opportunity to restore the US as regional power, using the IDF as a means; signalling to the whole Middle East that the sheriff was back in town.

    So what of the civil war in Sudan? And the latest horrific slaughter, involving the siege of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Force? The scenes are impossible to digest: RSF fighters executing all the patients and staff in the hospital; shooting hundreds as they flee. The total estimated dead in this war, which began in 2023, is over 150,000, not counting the dead of El Fasher.

    But the fighting could never continue if it wasn't being fuelled, armed and funded by Turks, Egyptians, Emiratis and Saudis, as intermediaries for US, EU, and British interests. Turkey, which just bought £8 billions' worth of Typhoon fighter jets, missiles and other weapons from British companies, has a deal to supply the Sudanese Armed Forces, for instance. And all of these war-facilitators are after the gold, copper, iron, uranium, oil and rare earths under Sudanese soil.

    It is for this - the profits of the capitalist class, West and East - that Sudan's population and the entrapped people of Gaza must starve and die. Can there be a more profound reason to force an end to this lethal profit system, in the interests of the whole of humanity?
