So frustrating to me that the majority of the American people seem to be blissfully unaware of the savagery going on against the Palestinians. Perhaps they just want to go along with the dialogue put out by the mainstream press. They don't want to stand out in the crowd by rocking the boat. I can't help but compare their behavior to the characters in "The Ox Bow Incident". One of my favorite novels.
Sharon, Thanks for your comment. It really is a dark and painful time. Too many Americans have proven themselves to be “good Germans.” Aaron Bushnell had the right of it: “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now."
"the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension, to a positive peace which is the presence of justice..."
Money talks and mass propaganda works on the willful ignorant majority of the population who could care less about the ongoing Holocaust in Palestine and soon Lebanon. Sporting events and entertainment venues are more appealing to the average person than the extermination of Palestinians, Lebanese and whomever the "Chosen People" decide to attack and murder.
So contrary to a handful of European Jews harmed by the psychopathic Nazis and their allies in WW2, they were the big winners of that war, contrary to the Hollywood melodramas and documentaries and tales of woe by the many former inmates or detainees the moderate Waffen SS security guards ALLOWED to live, and now the Israeli military are even worse than the German "superman" by comparison in cruelty.
Can anyone disagree the UN has been worthless as a world body of nations to stop wars , and ONLY admonishes the "fugitives from the Final Solution" who run Israel, US and Western European foreign policy in the Middle East rather than taking direct action in stopping the mass murder, starvation, sickness and disease in Gaza, the West Bank and Southern Lebanon?
The anti-Christ has taken over much of the world with oligarchic rulers whose insatiable greed for wealth and power will destroy this planet. I feel sorry for the younger generation and those not born yet in the rotten system ahead, unless their is a worldwide spiritual enlightenment and universal brotherhood of people who turn against violence, force, hate and ignorance and arrogance and unite for the common good.Not an easy task but not impossible either.
It's possible, as the IDF are scared to fight Hezbollah, men with guns, rather than using slingshots and throwing rocks and other things as in Palestine. But will the official Lebanese government fall for the trap? If so, the people there are doomed.
Interesting you mentioned the characters in the "Ox Bow Incident" novel, Sharon. For many years, I've used that phrase when people prejudge something without any proof and genuine knowledge of what or who they are condemning. When I was about ten, I read the Classics Illustrated comic version of the novel, then the children's version at the public library, and saw the 1940's movie on television which scared the heck out of me.
What about the Resistance operating in the West Bank? Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have punished many young Zionists for their cruelty, effrontery, and disrespect.

Its a homegrown issue in America. As MLK put it:

The UN will fund the already-US funded Lebanese army to replace Hezbollah.
