Palestine – the slaughter continues...

 

Opinion

Despite a planetary out-cry against the Israeli bombings on the suburban neighborhoods of the GAZA STRIP, murdering children and civilians, the US and its allies continue to remain quiet or vague in their public responses. As Israel is a client state of the US, giving them 3 billion a year in aid and weapons have also blocked the UN's request to stop the latest shipment of bombs to the Netanyahu right-wing fascist government. The Zionist response to criticism comes from the same playbook they've used for years: “We have a Right to Defend ourselves”. Anyone with a basic understanding of the history of Israel and their oppression against the Palestinian people since 1948 know this excuse to be a lie.

The people of Israel since 1948 have been systematically conditioned to hate Palestinians and generally Arabs overall. Once they leave high school, all must join the IDF for a few years. The children are told that they cannot permit another holocaust like the one in Europe during WWII. It is known that they're also told that the Palestinians are responsible for the German's Final Solution. This, of course, is absolute rubbish but reveals the extent of the governmental brainwashing.

It's no wonder that when the youth of Israel are told that Palestinian children are being slaughtered, and asked for their response, “It's better to kill them early before they grow into “terrorists.” In effect, the youth are told that Arabs are sub-human, thus canceling them is at the same level as stomping on a bug.

As a card-carrying humanist, this flippant attitude about the destruction of human life, especially children, goes beyond disgusting and shows us that the human species has not advanced all that much for thousands of years.

Israel is committing war crimes, and the “civilized” world, those in power, can stop this carnage but refuse to do so. The reasons for this run deep, but generally, American politicians are bribed by Israeli lobby's and depend on them to get into or remain in office.

The United States of Corporations invests in Israel because continued dominance in the middle east is of the utmost importance for continued revenue. Israel would love the US to go to war with Iran, but for many, this is a bridge too far, as the death toll would be far too great. That said, it seems we're heading in that direction.

Israel has been committing crimes against humanity since the State was first established in 1948. The US and its allies have been supporting these crimes from the beginning.

Again, despite the worldwide outcry against the GAZA Strip bombings, destroying news out-lets and whole neighborhoods, the Israeli PM has doubled down, and the slaughter continues unabated.

How can Israel continue this fascist, murderous behavior without justice? Because they have US support and just can.

Israel as a state should have a right to exist, but not at the expense of an entire people.

This is just criminal, reprehensible, and should be stopped.

  This is the first film I have ever seen that begins with a 10 minute `Overture'; the music is excellent and the composer, Max Steiner...
