Economist Michael Hudson outlines a 50-year-old U.S. strategy to use Israel as a "cat's paw" to control the Middle East. This policy, developed by figures like Scoop Jackson and Herman Kahn, was designed to avoid domestic military drafts by using proxy armies. Hudson argues that the U.S. does not actually want a ceasefire in the region, as the ongoing conflict serves long-term imperial and resource-control goals.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and the immediate reinstatement of Trump's account.
