Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
It's fairly obvious that there are many dictators in the world, some in the Muslim world and one notable one in the Zionist world, as FDR used to say, "Yes, but they are our bastards" when it was in the interest of the US.

Israel has become "our bastard" and Kerry is a puppet.

Zionism is separate from all of Judaism, but the Israeli propaganda machine equates the two as one, which it is not. There are many Jews who decry how Israel is violating human rights through violence and religious nationalism.

Here are some people with Jewish backgrounds, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Norman Finkelstein, Goldstone and I think but not sure Ilan Pappe, and there are plenty more who object to the Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people. Even the young people of Israel are refusing to be conscripted into a corrupted army.

Yes there are plenty of abuses to go around in many countries of the world but this doesn't absolve Israel for its participation in these abuses.
