vote in the UN to show poor brown people how much we like them

This week the poor brown skinned people living on the outskirts of the perpetual land grabbing state of Israel will have the magic carpet ride into the etherial atmosphere of the Arab Spring yanked from under their hungry angry kids worn out shoes.  Once again the US will demonstrate to them our eagerness to enable Israel to continue to steal their villages, their grandfathers homes, bulldose their orchards, hold back even their water supplies, medical supplies, all the while pretending the guys they stole land from last week are not willing to live in peace.

Am I the only one who thinks of the severely abused child growing up to repeat abuse on the next generation?  Who thinks of this parallel, Nazi's walling in the Jewish Ghetto's of Europe, cutting off employment, restricting travel and supplies, striking with massive deadly force against every protest?  Well I'm not equating them, but it requires the faculties of an imbecile not to wonder about this.  Of course the radical elements of Iran, Syria and known violent groups are at work in Palestine, and they work against peace by attacking moderate Palestinians and attacking Israel.   It is my theory that those working to prevent peace on one side of the wall are more than thankful for their like minded counterparts on the other side.

  1. I think the whole idea, creating a Jewish state in Palestine, was a mistake. It reminds me a great deal of South Vietnam. Invent a political entity, a state, and attempt to guarantee its viability with American fire-power.

    Israel should be told they have five years to make peace with their neighbors because after five years we will no longer guarantee their security. We will still be an ally, if they act in an acceptable manner, but we will no longer act like the biggest big brother on the planet.

  2. NAC,
    That will never happen because the evangelical far right will not permit it. They cite Genesis and like it or not - that verse joins us at the hip to Israel.

  3. NAC;
    5 years is good, but I would rather it be 5 weeks.

    Sarge:
    I say let the evangelical's pack their teenage kids off to stand at the border crossings and block the meds going in, to the water works to crank down the valve on the water, to the hilltop to throw stones at poor brown kids, to the Israeli construction sites to harass the Arab brick layres. Enough already with abuse by proxy. They should go there themselves and kill brown kids for Christ and the Jewish state.

  4. Part of the problem is the religious right in Israel, who fight any attempt at moderation while living on state subsidies. You've got crazies on both sides.
