What's Happening While You're Living Your Merry Life

Say What!
Actually I haven’t heard much about this. The ongoing struggle between Israeli and Palestine has heightened to life or death proportions in past few weeks, yet the American media has said little about this. What happened? An Israeli soldier was kidnapped by Hamas, the acting Palestinian government. In retaliation and instead of diplomacy, the Israeli army invaded West Gaza (where all the Palestians have been forced for the past 60 years). Instead of early morning birds chirping, you’ll hear fire and bombs on both sides. Israel has an army, tanks, checkpoints and actual cities. Most of their military is in aid money from the U.S. They have “THE BOMB”, but Iran nor “rogue” states cannot have it. Israel, supposedly, the bigger man, has ability to change what’s happening to their own citizens. Palestinians on the other hand have been kicked around for the last half century, stooping in ghettos, refuge camps, with no home of their own. What do they do, what do they look forward to? Palestine has no army, no modern weapons, no voice – nothing! They are labeld terrorists for blowing themselves up and being martyrs. These are their only weapons folks. The U.S. does not give them aid. So who supports Palesestine? Middle Eastern countries, such as Iran (thusly the U.S. is furious at Iran but later on that) So Israel bombs and destroys what’s left of Palestinians bleak lives and its okay? They are both bastardly acts. Both bombing and terrorist attacks are wrong. Both kill innocent lives. But when you are being pushed and bullied diplomacy seems futile. So you fight back. But with what? Yourself! That’s the ultimate sacrifice and patriotic thing to do. Some radical jihadist comes by, brainwashes them that Allah has a mission for them: destroy the infidels, that’s where it gets out of control. Israel recently, in search of the kidnapped soldier, has bombed electricity plants cutting out power to Palestinians and clean water has been hard to find. Now have massively bombed and destroyed neighboring Lebanon because Hezbollah is firing rockets into Israel and has kidnapped 2 soldiers. Israel has captured hundreds of political figures in the past months without actual convictions too. So Israel obliterates Lebanon’s border, airports and what’s left of Palestinian camps because they have the right to defend themselves against terrorism. That’s what Bush said. Well then how would Israel do without U.S. aid? Hmm, so what Israel is doing is okay? Not at all. The E.U. condemned Israel as using disproportionate use of force in search for captives. Well then, Palestine, through Hamas and Hezbollah and other networks, are defending themselves too. Israel now is set to attack Syria because of ties to Hezbollah. Iran’s president warned that if that happens it’s “like attacking the whole Islamic world.” Iran is also accused now of harboring the kidnapped victims. This is a religious dispute. The area is a holy land for two religions. Squabbles ensue over it displaying another problem of how religion is no good. Back to the U.S., keeping their interests in mind it’s clear as day why they don’t report such events. The media is also highly in favor of Israel as many Jewish people have positions in the media. We support Israel, because we want a foothold in the Middle East. We want to spread democracy anywhere and everywhere. Good intentions, right? On the surface, yes, but look deeper and you may see to meaning of all this depressing, non stop altercations. Why can’t we all just get along? Valid question, but as inhumane as this sounds, the U.S. does not want people to get along. They feed off of friction. They’ve made money off Israel and in return are granted strategic positioning inside the Middle East. We want that bloody oil. Look at all the people being killed for our damn cars and even more disheartening, so the oil companies can get richer. This is what’s happening today and it’s been happening forever. Iraq? Iran? America is trying to take over a people and change a way of life. They want what they want, but it’s not their land. Most of the Middle East (exception being Israel) is against America’s promiscuous nature, as they should be. Let them handle their business. If the U.S. and Britain did not fuck around so damn much with that area, none of this would be happening especially 9/11. Arabs are mad because they’ve been raped, wouldn’t you? Granted democracy should be pushed everywhere. No one deserves to be controlled. But we make money off dictators. Why are we mad at Castro, Stalin, Il because they want to do things on their own. They don’t believe in teaming w/ a nation who destroys cultures for the almighty dollar. Look at all of the CIA backed coups of the past 50 years. We were behind most of them. Tyranical regimes held firm, people’s rights were abused, yet we made it happen and made deals. Guatemala, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, Pakistan are just a few examples. America your hands are bloodier than ever. Israel you are being allowed to commit mass destruction as occupiers, I don’t know how you can live with yourself. This isn’t anti-semetic, this is a human reaction to the cold hard facts.
