Why I'm 'a little grumpy' lately. Mood

Dr Derek Summerfield field study on Gaza and West Bank. Over the previous four years....

.....'two-thirds of the 621 children killed at checkpoints, in the street, on their way to school, in their homes, died from small arms fire, directed in over half the cases to the head, neck and chest - the sniper's wound. Two-thirds of the children were under 15. Clearly, soldiers are routinely authorised to shoot to kill the children in situations of minimal or no threat. These statistics attract far less publicity than suicide bombings.'

--------------------

My 'blinkered Anti-Semitic' thoughts......
 
Do you see what creates a 'terrorist'? An entire people, in their OWN country, kept in effectively an open prison, needing permits to go from one area to another, nearly always being denied those rights for reasons 'not entitled to give' by Israeli soldiers. Schools looted and vandalised by soldiers, who often urinated and defecated on the projects of talented students. All these seeds of hate planted in the minds of a people at an early age. To provoke a violence against the settlers, giving those settlers a motive for the total oppression of the native residents of that country.

To simplify..........Man A controls the media and has support from the most powerful nations in the west. Man A attempts to make Man B feel guilt for residing in his own home. Actions take place to strip Man B of his dignity in an attempt to force Man B to leave his home, enabling Man A to take up full, sole residence. Decades later and Man B reacts in a violent way. Man A reports on Man B's 'primitive', aggresive behaviours and explains why the two cannot co-exist and why violence is needed on Man B to repress those violent tendancies towards Man A and his people. Man B has little in terms of media or propoganda and knows not of the term 'spin'. Those in the west only see a hateful race towards another race effected by the Holocaust......failing to see the horrific irony in what those effected by such an 'event', in turn, affect on others away from the media lens.

How easy is it to pull at the tail of a timid animal and finally provoke an aggressive reaction, then tell the world about how one is mauled by a rabid animal and how one was loathe to destroy that animal in an attempt to preserve ones own existence.

Oh, how many believe the suicide bomber (terrorist) to be a madman with a lust for white man blood. Never look solely to an event for answers. Go back to a source and witness the birth of a monster created by the victims leaders. Go on. Look. Find it.

Or choose ignorance. We have mostly all chosen that blissful road. It is easy to blame others for the worlds evils. Look at home and then in the mirror.

    Did you notice the Sun's headline 'AFGHAN POLCEMAN KILLS 5 OF OUR BOYS' it's sad how openly biased and emotional it is - of course it needs to be reported but there was a distinct lack of context or reasoning for the kiling.

    You are not an anti-semite Steve and I'll continue to say so, you are far more mentally mature to develop such a bigoted mindset. You are able to recognize atrocities of both sides, but with this conflict it is incredibly hard to have a balanced view on a conflict that is so mind-numbingly one sided - and to witness constantly a powerful nation ruin the lives of thousands over and over again when the solutions are so simple - is bound to give you a knee-jerk reaction of resentment - but where most who argue with you in war and terror cannot get past their knee-jerk emotional reactions, you can.

    I'm here for you and would like to have a proper chat because I think you're missing something pretty important.

    Hugs and love man

    E went to Palestine on a mission trip a few years ago and it's worse there than any of us know. They are prisoners; entire generations have never tasted liberty. You aren't anti-Semite, neither am I. But I am anti-Zionist and anti-jingoist, and not afraid to say it. Holding up one culture, one race, one mindset over another have never, ever resulted in peace and it never ever will.

    What can I do about it? Nothing of consequence probably. Vote with my conscience, participate in rallies, love my friends, love strangers, volunteer, teach kids. Support you.

    ((((((hugs))))))
