THE PALESTINIANS ARE THE UNDERDOGS AND THE OPPRESSED, NOT ISRAEL

The Palestinians in Gaza, like the Iraqis before them, are being subjected to a crime against humanity, SIEGE, the starvation and brutal stunting of children, the denial of medical care, denial of potable water, little or no electricity, anything needed to live is denied or reduced below survival levels. So I side with Palestine and the Palestinians. The Palestinians are the underdogs, they are surrounded by enemies including the Arab puppet states and are being massacred as I write. Anyone who thinks the Israelis are right to do carry out this conquest is a colonialist, a white supremacist, and a fascist. Supporters of Israeli massacres and sieges need not read Hitler to guide their political actions, they already get the main idea, kill anyone whom you want to rip off, scapegoat, or doesn't fit into your "perfect" little society!

[When you think about it the whole Zionist theory behind Israel is a "Lebensraum"- type argument!]

Furthermore, even those of us in the imperialist wonderland, the USA, are having our rights abolished and are fundamentally being denied democratic rule by the same forces destroying Palestine today. Our own nation is now on the same path as Palestine, participation in a capitalist world order imposed by the rich and their criminal system on those of us in the United States and throughout the world. Of course, the Native Americans suffered much like the Palestinians do in our history and our very religious forefathers and foremothers pretty much destroyed four hundred civilizations. There are a few descendants but many civilizations were completely wiped out. Zionist colonialists know this American history and hope to do the same in Palestine. They are very frustrated that anyone notices their crimes. That is why they won't allow any coverage of their genocide.

So if you like the oppressor, Israel, that is your reactionary politics. I don't like it and I think most Americans are starting to see through the smokescreen Israeli colonialists and their American supporters try to put blow in everyone's eyes. Just because you are a Jew or a Christian or a rich person of any belief doesn't give you special rights to violate others either individually or collectively. It doesn't give you a right to starve Palestinians. It doesn't give you the right to take food from Palestinian children. It doesn't give you the right to take away insulin and vital medications from Palestinian families. Being a Jew or a Christian bestows no special rights to harm, murder or expel the Palestinians. Those that say so and call that commitment to injustice their "faith" must be struggled with, exposed for what they are and defeated by the revolutionary working class movement and their allies in every corner of the globe but especially here in the United States.

Israel, as a white settler state formed during the heyday of the anticolonial revolutions of the post WWII era is a bizarre relic of history. Of course, Ian Smith's Rhodesia and the apartheid government of South Africa were overthrown long ago but Israel continues to pretend that it can wipe out the Palestinian people by one means or another. Again, not unlike the Germans who actually oppressed them they wonder why they cannot wipe out just one civilization like in the good old days of the so-called American wild west. Today with the incredible massacre in Gaza conducted by international capital and its Arab and Israeli executioners is not so much a defense of Israel as it is an effort to preserve a Jewish country club nation throughout what is currently Israel and to extend the golf courses into all occupied territories including Gaza and the West Bank.

Anyone who hated the segregated OLD SOUTH in the United States should hate the way Israel is today. Just as we condemned the hundreds of lynchings that used to take place every year, directed at people of color, just as we condemn those lynchings of yesteryear we should condemn this lynching of the Palestinian people today and condemn it every day until the Palestinian people receive their full rights.

Anyone who hated the massacre in Mumbai should hate the massacre of the Palestinians being carried out today by the nation of Israel. Slaughtering at least twice as many civilians as killed in Mumbai, Israel has also attempted to destroy the means of sustenance, including food supply routes, water supplies, and medicines. The people of Mumbai have all those things after their massacre, the Palestinians are denied that by the criminal terrorist state of Israel. I hate that injustice, what about you?

Anyone who hated the Indian killers of American history should hate the Israeli killers of Palestinians today with the same virtuous indignation. Remember the massacre at Wounded Knee? Weren't several hundred native Americans slaughtered by the troops of white settlers seeking so-called "opportunity"?

We must condemn those of any nation, any religion and any culture who seek opportunities by slaughtering hundreds of people and destroying other nations. Israel, born in these sins has yet to repent of its crimes or even cease them but instead continues them hoping to finally expel essentially all of the Palestinians, not just most of them.
