Subject: You will be vilified for not supporting Israel in it's oppression of Palestinian natives
Bart:
You missed an opportunity on the hand over land to Native Americans crock. Clip below:
Native Americans. Indians to the non-politically
correct, get to vote, and travel and move wherever they want to.
They can live in a neighborhood next to you,
and probably do. The US treated Indians in a barbaric and genocidal
manner from 1492 until the 20th century. And
guess what? Now they are proud Americans when they live among us,
and have the option to live on a reservation
too. They serve in the armed services with distinction, hold government
jobs.
They are indistinguishable from other Americans
unless they want to live on a reservation. They aren't complaining and
agitating for change except through the normal
political process.
Contrast that with what is going on in Israel.
Palestinian natives have no rights.
Whenever Israel wants more of their land, the
Palestinian natives are booted off.
They cannot vote, they cannot hold office, they
cannot travel, they cannot join the armed services, etc.
Israel claims to be a democracy, but it isn't.
It is a democracy for those who agree that
Palestinian natives are entitled to less than
the full human rights Israeli citizens are.
If we have to cut the US budget, perhaps we can
cut the amount of money
we give to Israel to oppress Palestinian natives.
