As someone who was on the run from my government, i did get the impression that israel/jews are ruling the world. thus i actualy saw/felt how the mechanisms of control work. i have to say that as much as it taints the Jewish control obssession it taints the rest of the world, who just couldn't give a hoot. it is a law of nature that those who create a vacuum in power, morality, community - invite another power structure to take over. there are no empty places in life and society and certainly not in the field of politics. <br>once an entire community cannot summon the minimal level of ethics, spine and determination, they can only blame themselves for any takeover by a more vibrant and vigorous group (of people or values). <br>it doesn't take a big mouth and racism to resist values you don't approve of, it takes participation and engagement. For instance, if non jews/non neo cons in the vast continent of north america (or and including) had a real investment of caring and engagement in the fate of the palestinians or iraqis or iranians or israelis, one would see them around. But writing some racist hate speech, as sharp and witty as possible, really is pathetic. If you can't raise more than 200 people for a demonstration with a good artist playing, then you actually say you don't give a hoot about the entire middle east. Israel and Iran have been trying to exert pressure on europe to put up a LOT of money for the rehabilitation of the palestinian refugees, one way to do that is to 'threat' that Israel wlil move to Europe (don't, please, we'll put up the dough..). big words are meaningless in the world of politics. and you can't fake power, engagement and public opinion. truth of the matter is, nobody outside the middle east cares about the people there, but many care about the oil.<br>I wondered in america and canada, and realized that its all hype, actually, those who bitch would not raise a finger from their laptop to do even the smallest thing, even when your sovereignity is violated by israel as long as the victims are jews or arabs. AND none of the big mouths will give actuall assistant to refugees from our region, be it jews or arabs. not even a little piece of dry bread, let alone meaningful assistance or rescue. people here happen to realize that, and so they don't really take the "peace movement" of europe or north america seriously. its a lot of talk, but no dollar is flowing where the mouth is...<br>I have said that earlier, an israeli or jew or palestinian seeking to stand up to the Israeli government will die long before any of the peace movement will even sign a petition let alone force their government to help that person to remain safe. that says it all. <br>that's why, although I am very open and straight forward in my critique of Israel's governmnet and its jewish supporters abroad, i am also very much aware and dissillusioned with regards to the intentions of those who like hearing it. <br>been there, saw who those people are when it comes to lifting a finger...let alone taking a real risk (not a huge one though) to protect the interest of peace/justice...and right now I am fully awake. its a bad situation, but there is no WILL to change it. <p></p><i></i>
