With the apparent exasperation of a ninety year old, a well known, highly respected and experienced news hound lost her cool over the continuing instances oppression and homicide in the name of security for the Israeli state.
An exasperation shared by frustrated well informed fair minded peace wishers who have seen the military-industrial-financial complex owned commercial media successfully distort history and promote a woefully uneven conflict between two great peoples. One, the wealthier, scientifically advanced, U.S. superpower financed, state of the art weaponized occupier, the other, poor to the point of receiving international food aid, occupied and blockaded, its land ever diminishing, whose children have continued to fight with stones and slings, still unwilling to accept their present dismal fate as permanent.
Two precious semitic peoples, both belonging in Palestine, a Palestine that is home to both. Both playing out a role relegated to them by the same powerful blind materialist amoral banking interests that with few mostly temporary revolutionary exceptions have circumscribed life on Earth since the industrial revolution.
