What
is really going on here: War, Apartheid
or Peace in the Middle East?
|
The
Middle East in General:
1.
Societies in this area are still male
dominated while the West has become
a cultural of equality and in some respects
feminized. This terrifies Middle Eastern
males.
2.
For a century and a half the Middle
East and much of the third world have
had their borders and governments manipulated,
recreated, and destroyed to meet the
commercial demands of the West, primarily
to obtain cheap energy. The West supports
cleptocracys that profit from the labor
of the populace with little reward to
the majority.
3.
By sheer force the West has repeatedly
humiliated civilizations that are thousands
of years old. These societies had achieved
peaceful discourse, advanced educational
systems, the rule of law and superior
arts and culture a full millennia before
Western nations crawled out of the despair
of barbarian civility.
4.
In order to defend against the overarching
ever powerful onslaught of the West,
these victims nations have capitulated
to the natural, albeit unproductive,
mode of developing an opposite and equal
reaction (Isaac Newton) to oppose the
aggressor West, allowing radical Islam
to fight the battle.
5.
Islam, the predominant religion of the
Middle East, receives its power of violent
reaction from American right wing Christianity
that supports a massive war in the Middle
East to satisfy their twisted theology
that believes war must occur for Jesus
to return (Rev. (?) John Hagee of Texas,
chief proponent of the above, is the
most dangerous man in America).
|
6.
What the people of the world fail
to realize, in all ages, is that
those in control of things manipulate
the emotions of the populace for
their own personal gain. Remembering
this axiom and note: the Shiites
and Sunni (both Muslim), Israelis
and Palestine (Both Semitic), the
Protestants and the Catholics of
Northern Ireland (Both Christian).
In Chaos outside the ruling class
can wrack in huge profits while
millions die. Middle Easterners
might remember the words of the
teacher of peace "A house (nation)
divided against itself cannot stand"
(Jesus).
Israel
and Palestine in particular:
7.
In 1946 the West artificially carved
a new political state upon land
occupied for 1700 years by an indigenous
culture made up of Arabs, Christian
and Jews who had settled peacefully
in Palestine. The West's goal: to
place a Western style non-Muslim
government as a dividing wedge among
the oil rich states of the Middle
East.
8.
The new state of Israel, with active
and tacit support from the United
States, committed massive acts of
ethnic cleansing and genocide against
these indigenous peoples, who then
found solace and help from organizations
such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
9.
The most powerful nation of earth
(The U.S.) stood against the people
of Palestine as they issued cries
for help and evenhandedness heard
by a majority of the people of the
world (General Assembly and Security
Council of the United Nations).
The U.S. repeatedly denied Justice
and Accountability for all parties
with its veto.
Much
of this was hailed in god's name;
it's up to us to get it right -
For God's Sake.
