Just as the United States supported the South African apartheid government when most of the world was supporting the victims of this apartheid, so, to a much greater degree, it continues to support the Israeli apartheid government, and provides billions of dollars every year to support the Israeli discrimination, imprisonment, maiming, killing, and land theft that goes on every day.
Tomorrow, March 30, is Land Day, commemorating the bravery of 6 Palestinians who were murdered by Israeli forces in 1976 when they were trying to keep their land from being appropriated by the Israeli government. For the 36 years following, the apartheid government of Israel has been nothing less than a slow form of genocide against the Palestinian people. Yet no country in the world has had their wrongdoing protected more than Israel, thanks to the threat of the United States to punish economically and militarily any country who would use means at their disposal to protect the Palestinian victims of these past 36 years.
It is disgraceful that the United States Government continues to bully the United Nations and its "coalition" about "human rights abuses"in countries it does NOT control, such as Syria, North Korea, Iran, and Cuba, and to whine and moan about the "nuclear intentions" of Iran, when it blatantly partakes in the daily human rights abuses of the Israelis and for decades has protected Israel from any international nuclear weapons inspection, even though this renegade country has always ignored all admonitions from the United Nations, has launched assassinations in other countries, and threatens to invade the sovereign territory of whoever it perceives as a threat!
The Palestinians have suffered in Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights for far too long. Let's hope that their massive peaceful protest tomorrow on Land Day will finally cause some "coalition" country to have the balls to say "no more!" to their participation in the Israeli and U.S. evils against the Palestinian people!
