The headline implies that isisrael is something that could exist without usa. Saying usa is israels accomplice is like saying my hand shoveling food is my mouth’s accomplice. They are 2 parts of a much bigger monster. the millitary and capitalists of europe, canada, australia, india, and others are all part of this same monster and killing Palestinians is only one of the dozen things this monster is up to.
isisrael is a research and development arm of the capitalist anglo-westoid’s colonial, white supremacist, fascist, military industrial complex. It is a long term social/geopolitical/military experiment to test the viability of a fascist-colonial settler state.
Al-Jazeera are part of this monster. Their job is to obfuscate the existence of this monster by drawing lines between the constituent parts and separating the struggles of Palestinians from the struggles of other marginalized and oppressed peoples.
They considered South Korea a part of the Global South, but considered them military colonies of the United States or heavily U.S militarized. Along with the Philippines.
The Global North is an integrated military, political, and economic bloc composed of 49 countries. These include the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, and secondary Western and Eastern European countries. In the military arena, Turkey (as a NATO member), the Republic of Korea and the Philippines (de facto militarised colonies of the US) are included in our definition of the ‘US-led Military Bloc’, even though they are part of the Global South.
Here is some more of their other reasons as well, listed under global south in part three in that study.
The peoples of these two nations (Figure 30) largely align with the Global South. Both countries have had pro-US leaders, as well as independent-leaning leaders. However, these countries are – militarily – entirely controlled by the US.
Historically, both nations have been subordinated to the US through military conquest. After WWII, when the US had militarily occupied the Korean peninsula, and, later, at the end of the Korean War, the Republic of Korea retained a large US military presence. Its economic reconstruction was almost entirely funded and directed by the US. Following the Spanish-American War, the Philippines was a US colony for nearly five decades (1898–1946).
This vassalage is evident today: after the elections of Yoon Suk-yeol in the Republic of Korea and Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the Philippines in 2022, both have served as frontline positions in containing China. In February 2023, the Philippines invited the US to expand its military presence in the country by adding four more bases to the existing five US-operated bases – 30 years after Philippine lawmakers ruled to end permanently the US military presence in the country. The Republic of Korea has also increased the military expansion of the US, participating alongside Japan ‘to inaugurate a new era of trilateral partnership’ with the US. In addition, the General Security of Military Information Agreement between Japan and the Republic of Korea, facilitated by their closer alignment with the US, expands intelligence sharing between the two countries to include ‘threats from China and Russia’. Their military expenditures should be attributed to the US-Led Military Bloc.
I see what you’re saying about the headline, but the article is pretty clear: the US pretends to be a neutral party but in reality the US fully supports whatever Israel says they need to do militarily.

What you said reminds me of this image from Tricontinental
No South Korea?

Makes total sense, thanks
