Thank you for your thoughtful response here River.
that's not the news the rest of the world is hearing.
Word! We are being told a very different story than the one Apshamilton is hearing! This is so important. We are all told the stories the rulers need us to believe so that we stay divided 50-50. We can see this in most countried of the world, where elections are now regularly 50-50 splits in the voting public. When more than 50% of people start sympathizing with Gazans, the story becomes more sympathetic to Israelis. It's a nifty, and very simple, trick our rulers employ to keep us subjugated. The most important thing we can do is to NOT turn on fellow human beings who are not in the ruling classes, no matter their color, political party or creed!
the death camps and the dispossession of the Jewish people was one of the worst things to happen in human history,
Bolsheviks murdered a great many more christians than were murdered in what is called the holocaust, and the Bolsheviks were largely Jewish.
All peoples can be easily turned against any other by mere words, and fear.
I do think one of the biggest issues is religion and how men can believe they are superior to others because God said so and they have more right to land, life, bread because of some imaginary holy writ. But ths fighting words.
I also think we happen to be living in a time in history that it's both easier and harder to get information than ever before. There is a lot of independent media and first hand accounts about the genocide of Gaza and Israels motives and we can follow the money and interests and see what's going on and why people are acting or non acting. It's all there in front of us. And then the surveillance and information machine descends and we can literally see that too.
I don't doubt this genocide. Maybe it's a narrative I've been fed but everything I've critically examined is pointing the other way and Hamiltons last comment only very thinly veils Israel's motivations. Not all Jews, of course, but I shouldn't have to fucking say that.
Also, because of the Jewish Holocaust, the Bolsheviks, pol pot, whatever - we have history to learn from, but still, there we all go, repeating. It's morally or legally rephrenesive for me to say so.
