Israeli Policy

Israeli military policy goes way above and beyond anything necessary for Israel's Survival. Though I'm not saying the Palestinians or other Arab nationalities involved have been entirely innocent. But Israel's policy of 100 Arab deaths for every Israeli fatality is simply barbaric and grotesque. I truly wish that the Zionists of the 20th Century had been successful in creating a secular, NOT sectarian Utopia in the Desert. But the moment they codified, in Law, that non-Jewish lives, particularly Muslim lives were less sacred and worthy of protection than Jewish lives, they lost the battle for moral supremacy. And these acts of militarism and aggression that have infested every facet of Israeli life have also succeeded, ultimately, in making Israel a far more dangerous place for JEWS than if they would engage in genuine negotiation. The same goes for every hyper-militarized nation on Earth; yes indeed, in that way they're just like every other Garrison state, from Ancient Rome to Twenty-first Century USA. As Michael Franti sings: "You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it to Peace."
