"atrocity wars and covert violence on three continents since 1945 to maintain unjust predatory investments in countries overseas,") (What If young African-Americans became aware of criminal mainstream media's 57 Year Blackout of King's Condemnation of US Wars.)
Thirdly, because superpower America's powerful media has defended Isreal's illegal, often murderous, generations long military occupation of Palestinians, tightly incarcerating the Gaza Strip in isolation from the rest of the world and denying the West Bank its water rights. U.S. has used it's veto in the UN Security Council and voting No on 75 UN General Assembly resolutions to prevent criticisms of Israel denying Palestinians even the most basic human rights, while colonising the West Bank with 70 thousand violence prone settlers with their own restricted roads.

But just before his planned arrival, Israel launched the Six-Day War against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, which killed about 800 Israelis and around 18,000 Arabs in two weeks. gaining territory the entirety of Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, West Bank, and the Sinai peninsula, four times the amount of land it had before.
