The
Palestinian protests along the Gaza border has to date seen over 2000
wounded and over 60 dead. The US response to these war crimes has run
from the reticent to the infantile. In effect, unadulterated
propaganda, blaming Hamas for the deaths; claiming they (Israel) are
merely protecting its borders from “terrorists”. Anyone who
believes these lies are either ignorant of middle east history, or
have an agenda, that to many, is quite obvious: Israel rule along
with Saudi Arabia, over the entire region. Add the right wing
religious cults: Zionists and “Christians”, viewing the US
embassy move to Jerusalem, somehow fulfils biblical prophecy, leading
to Christ's second coming, or Jewish dominance over the middle east,
is absolutely absurd. What I found most disgusting was watching the
ceremonial opening of the new American Embassy, Trump's offspring,
Ivanka and little Jarred Kushner, smiling for the press, spouting
propaganda, while Palestinians were being picked off one at a time,
protesting the occupation of their land.
Foremost,
East Jerusalem and Gaza is considered 'occupied territory' by
International Law. For example, lets say, Arizona has been taken over
by the Mexican military. By international law, Arizona would be
marked as an occupied territory. When Trump's feckless son-in -law
announced that the US stands with Israel, because the US believes in
freedom, is blatant propaganda. This is simply not true. This
troglodyte son-in-law of Trump, went on to say that “they” are
provoking the violence. Not true. If you consider throwing rocks and
sending a few “flaming kites” into the air provocation, while
Israel's IDF have been given orders to shoot, ad hoc, on sight,
murdering children, women and journalists, then you have this
terrible situation all wrong. Israel is doing the murdering, and the
Palestinians, are doing the dying.
A
short history of the Israel and Palestinian conflict should open the
eyes of any rational individual.
In
1967 Israeli military occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the
Gaza Strip. In 1980, Israel decided to annex East Jerusalem – under
International Law, this is illegal. To this day, Israel controls all
aspects of Gaza – water, electricity, media – and have been
committing war crimes: poisoning water supplies, burning crops and
kidnapping Palestinian children. Israel is committing a slow form of
genocide. But in the American media particularly, these crimes are
never reported.
Why
does this matter to any developed country?
On
the contrary, several “allies” of the US refused to attend the
opening of the American embassy in Jerusalem: Canada, Australia,
Germany, France and Britain. Why? Because we believe this act of
fascist deviance, sets back any peace process.
We
all want freedom from tyranny and occupation. Israel, Trump and his
band of incompetent troglodytes, has another agenda. And peace is the
farthest idea in their minds.
