I cannot figure out why there is so much support for Israel and the crimes they are committing.
Most human rights experts agree that Palestine is an apartheid state. Israel kills innocent women and children at a ratio of 100 to one. For every Israeli that is killed, 100 Palestinian are killed...too many are young children.
Palestine is cut off, it is surrounded. Israel is collectively punishing the people of Palestine. They are supported by the US. They get money from the US Congress, they get US support in the UN, they get our weapons, our helicopters and they get our bull-dozers. Israel is almost unanimously accused of war crimes and maybe even crimes against humanity, but nothing is done about this.
Israel ignores international laws and the borders established by international treaty.
They say they are acting in self defense, but only a mad man would think was self defense. They are targeting the civilian population of a land that they occupy. They have cut off their economy, their water, their electricity, their hospitals. The Palestinians are impoverished and down troden.
I can understand Congress and the President supporting Israel. There is AIPAC. Israel funded lobbyist have great sway with most in Washington. I can understand fanatical Christians...they are trying to push God's hand and hurry up the second coming. But, why the great majority of the People's support? How can a near unanimous voice from the world be stopped by pressure from the US? Is that democratic? Isn't the US supposed to be this beacon for democracy and justice and human rights?
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
