Abrams
was the key man in Reagan administration policy toward Central
America, when that administration was abetting what a court recently
ruled was a genocide in Guatemala. When the US was backing the army
of El Salvador in a series of death squad assassinations and
massacres. And when the US was invading Nicaragua with a Contra force
that went after what one US general described as “soft targets,”
meaning civilians, things like cooperatives.
Abrams
later came back during the George W. Bush administration, joined the
National Security Council and was a key man in implementing the US
policy of backing Israeli attacks against Gaza, when the US refused
to accept the results of the Gaza elections, where Hamas defeated
Fatah in a vote, and instead Abrams and company backed a war
operation to overturn the results of the election, backing the forces
of Mohammed Dahlan.
Some
commentators have said, ‘Well, Abrams is not a Trump guy. He
represents traditional, established US foreign policy.’ And that’s
true. The problem is that that US policy has been to abet genocide
when the US feels it’s necessary.
