Entry: Gaza: A Prison Riot Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gaza_a_prison_riot#1846 Post contents: The American people have very little understanding concerning what has transpired in the Middle East since the end of World War 1. They have been fed mostly propaganda driven by the Israeli state and organizations like AIPAC since WWII. The way forward is not more propaganda and war. A more informed American public that has a decent grasp of the historical facts will do more to settle the 100 year enmity between parties that claim land in Palestine/Israel than anything else. If the US government did not give Israel billions of dollars of US Taxpayers money each year the government of Israel would be forced to honesty work toward settling its differences with the rest of the population in the Middle East. Right now it just talks peace while stealing land as fast as possible with American cover and funding as well as brutalizing the original inhabitants of the area, not a recipe for success. The Arabs are not like the Vietnamese. They will not likely forget nor forgive like the mostly Buddhist influenced Vietnamese. The more the IDF brutalizes the Palestinians the harder it will be to reconcile the issues that must eventually be faced and reconciled. America will soon loose its dominance due to its reckless actions internationally and declining economy; a function of diminished productive capacity. Wall Street adds no value to the American economy. It only takes a non value-added bite. The bill for the US's profligate behavior will come due and when it does, if the Israelis have not made an honest peace with their neighbors, the future does not seem bright for them.
