About that nasty business of Israeli-imposed "Apartheid"
have just about had it with Israel, a land that is totally alien to me, yet which I am nonetheless supposed to identify with, SOMEHOW. If the Israeli People can't get their government to realize it must relate to the surrounding environment in a civilized fashion, that is THEIR folly. A folly, by the way, that we as "Americans" should be able to comprehend all too well. But I am NOT an Israeli, and I'm quite sick and tired of trying to address this endless conflict, an apparently insoluble problem. What can I do, beyond advocating that country be cast adrift? It's long past time to quit sending the $4 Billion the US sends annually in military aid to Israel. But just as assuredly, we here in the USA must cease and desist in OUR militarist, imperialist ventures. Haven't I said this all before, repeatedly? Yes. Sorry, that's the best I can do. If I were an idealist and a fool, I'd say Germany should step up to the plate - if any region of the world owes the "Jewish People" recompense, it is Germany. But that is an evident absurdity. That will never happen. In the meantime, Palestine bleeds. What on earth does the Israeli government hope to accomplish, repeating the same savage mistakes, again and again? I apologize for not being remotely able to propose a reasonable solution - it's really, regrettably not in my nature to know what that solution might be.
