Calculated Destruction



I won't pretend to know the details of the age-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but one thing is clear: Israel's heavy-handedness towards the poor inhabitants of Palestine would not have been possible without the billions of dollars in US military aid, numerous UN vetoes cast by Washington, bullying of lesser powers & the lack of courage & honesty from the US media that, for the most part, sways public opinion in support of the Israeli position. One should keep in mind that at one time Nelson Mandela & the ANC were considered terrorists by the US media/government. U.S. officials justified their dealings with the apartheid government by pointing to the ANC's place on the State Department's list of terrorist groups. The bottom line is this: The unremitting ethnic cleansing (& demonization) of the Palestinians will continue unless we become better informed & join the voices of resistance. 


Stay alert...
