HERE IS THE DOOR I thought twice about, open just a crack:

The fact that babies are murdered in Darfur, or pictures of Hitler are on display in Syria or American soldiers massacred most of the land’s indigenous peoples, or ‘the United Nations is Arab controlled,’ is not a brief for killing babies in the Palestine or anywhere else.

If Jews were devoured in a holocaust waste of war, that was no brief to visit that same hunger upon any others.

What perhaps rankles most is the rationale behind Israeli behavior in the Palestine, but “Everybody does it” is no justification for doing anything unto others that you would not want him or her to do unto you.

Simple?

No.

But this will hopefully open the door a little further and invite discussion similar to the positive, delightfully enjoyable and enlightening conversations I listened in on between Israeli and Lebanese teenagers in web chat rooms during the last invasion of the Lebanon – “But we went to the same schools together! We were looking at growing up to open borders …(and, ‘would you date an Israeli?’ ” was the drift, no hate, just confusion.

“PEOPLE ARE THE SAME EVERYWHERE”

I make a great canyon, btw, of distinction between Jews and the econo-political entity called 'Z-ism' (Think Twice suggested I use another word here than the 'Z' word and left the decision up to me, but I can't find the switch that allows me that decision, hence the sub. Also curious is that the words, 'Jew' and 'Israel' are acceptable, but not the 'Z' word!), which has many Christians (and other denominations) among its ranks.

‘Jews’ are just people ‘like you and I’ going about the business of living.

Zionists, while I still reserve judgment, appear to be the focus of Internet viral exposure as those responsible for a litany of horrors no one would ever want done unto them.

I include the members of the European and American private banking system on whose doorstep the direct responsibility for the current financial crisis is currently being placed, again through the Internet’s holistic ‘viral’ phenomenon.

The Internet gets straight to the quick and names the names of those still in the analogue world in which people still think they can lie their way out of.

It has become obvious that the power of 'Z-ism' has become so great that it is not only above the laws of some nations, but can direct the laws of those nations to the point where a simple question as to the veracity of certain aspects of Jewish history can land an historian or any other academic in jail in those nations!

The effect of the printed word, ‘Jew’ or ‘Jewish’ outside of accepted context is amazing: And that is power.

This power, misused, I might define as the power of tyranny.
