Why does Israel get a pass?
Their blatant human rights
violations against the Palestinian people are massive.
The Israeli government
violates territorial treaties. Bulldozes Palestinian’s homes to make way for Israeli
settlements.
The Israeli army murders peaceful protesters in cold blood.
Israel has the world’s largest open air prison, the
walled in city of Gaza where hopelessness and desperation to all who live there
is enforced by the ever present idf (Israeli defense force). And the daily humiliation of numerous checkpoints, random searches, tear gas, snipers etc.
And when ANY American in a position of influence
raises an objection, they are immediately branded as “anti-semites”
The American mainstream media for the most part are
also on board with the practice of holding Israel free from criticism. The most
blatant recent example at the time of this writing is that the Israeli police
are poised to arrest their Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu for bribery after
an extensive investigation. I learned of this from international sources. Yet
on the day this story was reported, not one of the major “news” networks, abc,
cbs, nbc, fox, cnn, made mention of it. Not a peep from the New York Times either.
The United States ambassador to the United Nations,
Nikki Haley, continuously berates the Palestinian people and criticizes the
entire body of the United Nations for “unfairly singling Israel out for its
human rights violations”.
So why the blinders as far as Israel goes?
Further, why are United States citizens tax payer
money, extracted from the sweat of our labor, handed over to Israel to the tune
of $10 Billion USD a year?
This is not an anti-semitic tirade. My mother’s side
was Jewish. Technically, that makes me a Jew.
Except for the fact that I hold
all religion in utter contempt. Any belief system that is built on a foundation
of a make believe deity who omnisciently observes every single being on this
planet is just too ridiculous to give credence to.
