[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]You might want to listen to what I have to say, because I am trying to explain why Americans are not moved to support your case the way you (or others) keep saying they are in other parts of the world. It's because of what goes into making the American psyche what it is -- namely, being made up of all kinds of people from all parts of the world in a country that is constantly changing as a result of world turmoil. But peace be with you too Spock.[/quote]

You might not, but many Americans are supporting the Palestinian case and people all around the world are waking up. In the past 2 weeks, hundreds of marches have been going around the world, here in the US with tens of thousands of people marching for the freedom of Palestine. [b]Americans are moved, the american government not so much.[/b]  What you have to realize is  that to ask a people to live quietly, while they have no justice and no freedom, is to ask them to live "peacefully" as slaves. "Peace" without justice or freedom is slavery. It's like asking a battered woman to live "peacefully" with her abuse. We all want the bloodshed to stop. But what about the daily humiliation and institutionalized oppression?

Consider this: If a woman is being raped, things would be a lot more "peaceful" if she didn't resist. But, asking her not to resist--just because her attacker is physically stronger--is asking her to accept her own abuse and oppression for the sake of "peace". This is what the world is asking Palestinians to do.

And sometimes what seems to the world as just ineffective tactics, like throwing a rock at a tank, is in fact an act of resistance. It is a powerful statement to the oppressor--and the world--that they refuse to be enslaved. That dignity and self-respect are even more beloved to them than their own lives. It is a statement that you can take their lives. But not their freedom. #freepalestine[/quote]

The above statement resonates.  The American government no longer represents the people, it is bought and paid for.  Just look at our healthcare system, environmental regulation (or lack thereof, the breastmilk of our mothers is laden with chemicals banned elsewhere long ago), financial system, de facto telcom monopolies.  Disgusting!! Redirect these millions sent to Israel to commit atrocities!  It is not what America was founded on.  Also, the suffering and death of Palestinian children, hello??  ACT!! Write your representatives.  Or should I say, "representatives".  Is it all now a farce?  What has happened to us?

It's all about the Benjamins, that's what's happened to us.[/quote]
