Believe it or not, but some people get off on war. And they're not all wearing uniform, puffing on cigars and sitting behind desks drawing war plans. They're average human beings, you know, the 'Joe Plumbers' of the world, and this holiday season Santa gave them what they wished for; war, war, and more war. They're whores for wars. They'll sit on Santa's lap and anyone else's lap who will give them war. Some people think its fantastic. And where are these people? In the churches, the mosques, the government halls, the media channels.
Anyways, I read an article today and the reality of the entire war is beginning to hit me. All of my life I've read and heard predictions about all out war in the Middle East and every single day those predictions are coming true. It's inevitable. A mass tragedy playing out before our eyes. The whole region. And for what? State hegemony? The whole world is a big game for the elite, the real policy makers. The Middle East is a chess piece to them. And what good does a protest ever do? That's a mass jerk-off. I'll never ever attend one. It's degrading as hell. If people are serious, then serious action needs to be taken. Here is a passage from the article that pissed me off today.
There are many, many injustices and tragedies underway in our world, which cry out for immediate attention, and no one can really rank them as to deserving more or less help. Nevertheless, many currents of history have been distilled into what we see today as the war against the Palestinians, and it is keenly observed throughout the world. For this reason, we could say that the fate of the Palestinians is the measure of the world's conscience, and will mark our level of civilization in the pages of time.The piece is called "The War Against Palestine" and its written by George Salzman and Manuel Garcia Jr.
Also, an article by Justin Raimondo, he puts everything into perspective. Its called "The Politics of the Gaza Massacre."
