The Probable Ignorance of the United States in Israel/Palestine

Well, this doesn't really say much about Palestinian culture.  Nor does it acknowledge the other significant players in the conflict, without whom, peace will be impossible to achieve.

This is the truly unfortunate part about the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.  Even on the "left" of the United States, there is a willing blindness to what's happening on the ground that supports a position that seems to be becoming less and less tenable as the years go on and the situation evolves.

Remember, I would like to know what kind of inroads Iran is making in the area.  And, I would like to see what happens when the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic organizations take control of these countries in the region, following the Arab Spring, simply because, it would mean a much more unified and organized front arranged against the Israeli position that could, potentially, overwhelm them and leave them, once again, pushed into the sea.

The key factors here, is that Israel needs to reign in its apparati of occupation against the Palestinians, bring Hamas and Islamic Jihad into the negotiating table, and curb the settlers for their own sakes and their own benefits.

And, you don't need to believe me, in order for this to actually be the case in the world beyond your brains that actually is there, regardless of what you'd like, hope for and think.

He uses Israeli government documents, from both sides of their political coin.

And there's always this: http://www.vice.com/read/israeli-assholes-bulldozed-my-farm

and this: http://www.vice.com/vice-news/renegade-jewish-settlers-full-length

Which paints Israel and some of the Jewish people in a much less flattering, yet much more honest light.

For a people who were and still are, in some respects, the most beat on people around the world, the Jews have been acting as quite the bully in these recent years.

And, it's a real shame when you  consider that they're not alone in the world as far as beat on people are concerned.

Hell, they're not even alone when it comes to being genocide victims.

But they've since used it to justify one of the most perverse occupations that this world has ever seen.

And that, I think, is the most tragic aspect of this entire case.

Think about it.

Cause there will be no peace for them.

No peace for us.

And no real justice in this world, until it is all dealt with effectively, openly and honestly.

And, that's all I've got to say about that.

Think about it.

Cause we're all boned if you don't.

Think about it.
