Editor’s Note Remember. Truth is subjective, but honesty is not.
If they were to go to another country – which they do in a way with the sponsorship of eugenics programs in Africa and the promotion of sterilization in Asia – and launch a military strike, we would understand having to have to address that in our own society. We would have to deal with the consequences of their misguided nature and, although we can try to explain their actions in our wish to bring light to all the injustices of other people, it doesn’t do anything but cloud the argument. There would be no justification for that foreign nation to attack our sovereign land, to bomb our nation’s capital, to bomb our hydroelectric plants and emergency channels of communication. To continuously massacre our people with weapons that we have no defense for in response to the actions of those few would be deemed inhumane by us. To bomb power stations and banks (while some have ties to Hezbollah, some have never been proved to have any links), to bomb television and radio networks that call for the evacuation of the people, and to not allow the UN to administer aid to a part of the region that has been the most affected... I can recall too many times when I have seen the Israeli government not allow UN inspectors in once they have bulldozed or bombed installations. There is logic in defending oneself, but the massively disproportionate civilian death indicates a flaw in that logic. Because if the response is an overextended countermeasure that shows the force of an able-bodied and well-armed IDF (an obvious means of intimidation being deterrent to future attacks), then what will be of the future after such a statement is made? When the next generation, whose seeds of hatred are being planted and watered as we speak come to grow, how will you speak to them of adopting peace? American-made Israeli jets bombed their selected areas from 20,000 ft in the sky. While they claim to only target military structures, there is a collective punishment of the people that are being attacked. When you destroy someone’s home, their schools, bridges, and kill families, you are not fighting terrorism anymore. You have become the very force of human nature that you condemn. When you mark numbers and letters on refugees arms (as has been done in the past) in the prison camps they are kept in, you are repeating a cycle of hatred that was once imposed upon you. A Revolution – I told you before – is not always a positive thing. It is sometimes a blood war, a cycle with no purpose but to enrich people and distract the masses from a larger power struggle. In this instance, we find a Revolution in the coming full circle of and the continuation of a corrupted movement. Meaning that 10 or 15 years from now, some child from Palestine or Lebanon will board some bus in Israel and it will explode. Or there will be a bomb somewhere in a civilian area such as the ones dropped on Beirut. America and its allies will look at that as an act of terror, a completely unexplainable violent outburst that is in no way (off course) related to the occupation or what happened those years earlier: when his/her family was killed, when whatever future they had was simply destroyed, and when their justifiable anger with no outlet was quickly soured. Only this time all the parties will be forced to drink from the poisoned well of hatred that has festered. I will pray for peace tonight, for the Children of Palestine, of Lebanon and the innocent Israelis that are searching for peace. These children that are the innocent victims of politicians and the statements they so often make with other people’s lives rather than their own. The United States claims to be holding out for a lasting peace, continuing to hurl more accusations at Iran and Syria, while neglecting the political ground they are losing. They are fully aware of this though. For this war is not being fought to be won but to be exploited and prolonged to the benefit of the beast. There are dead children burning in the streets of Lebanon. You need no further proof of a new world order other than the fact that this is allowed to happen, and that some of you are so oversaturated with propaganda that you try to find excuses for it. I wrote this quickly and in the hopes that someone else out there will look into the history of the region that I didnt go into as much detail as I would have liked to. Please go and educate yourself about the past, and look at both sides of the conflict instead of just listening to biased relatives or a news media controlled by a vested interest.

I can understand a people’s wish to defend themselves. And launching a retaliatory strike at someone who incurred into their border is something any of us would have undertaken. But something you have to look beyond your race, religion and political allegiance, is the difference in between a retaliatory strike and destroying the infrastructure of an entire nation. There are some despicable people that live in America to whom we give a voice with Freedom of Speech. They have strong ties to the Republican Party and the Right Wing of this government. They are violent and blatantly racist; they are religious fundamentalists who believe that a woman doesn’t have the right to have an abortion, even if she’s raped or is the victim of incest.
