*** Was the `Good War’ Really Good? Tim Kelly - FFF
https://www.fff.org/explore-freedom/article/was-the-good-war-really-good/
The Second World War is often called “the good war.” ... That description comes from the war’s popular portrayal as a necessary Manichean struggle between the good Allied powers and the evil Axis powers ... It is understandable that many would see the Second World War as a morally clear-cut conflict between good and evil. This view has persisted for almost 70 years, particularly in the United States — reinforced by countless motion pictures, documentaries, and books ... Since 1945, American political leaders have frequently invoked the mythology of the good war to justify their bellicose, reckless, and arrogant foreign policy. Those expressing misgivings or skepticism toward Washington’s wars have often been accused of “appeasement” or forgetting the “lessons of Munich.”

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump — and many of his most prominent right-wing supporters — are directly linked to some of the most radically pro-war, pro-Israel organizations in the country. These connections form a sprawling web of lobbying groups, tech billionaires, and media figures who consistently promote Israeli interests above those of ordinary Americans. Why has the pro-Trump right suddenly pivoted from branding itself as a bastion of free speech to openly supporting censorship and state-led crackdowns? This MintPress News investigation uncovers a donor-driven advocacy network driving that ideological shift … This same network, once obsessed with defending free expression, now embraces censorship, blacklists, and government surveillance — so long as it targets their ideological opponents.
