The fundamental problem in Israel is not the Jewish presence, nor the Palestinian presence. The problem is the militant army presence, backed by Western industrialists, robber baron capitalists, and imperialists who wish to expand their modern roman empire and annex further territories in order to appropriate these territories for oil and various other industry enterprises while engaging in active eugenics campaign to ethnically cleanse indigenous groups.

I listened to Rebecca Walker talking about her book about growing up Black and Jewish. She speaks with the same beautiful, kind intelligent tone as her Mother.I hear nothing but a great love and understanding from her for both her parents. The devil will do what the devil does--slander. We move on.

@chesterlover4eva SELF DEFENSE??? YOU CALL 5,000 killed to 13 SELF DEFENSE??? ISRAEL is the one dropping bombs. This is basically what happened in a analogy. A kid comes with his boys, pushes the little kid out. When the little kid pokes the big kid back, the big kid beats up the little kid. The little kid is palestine and the big kid is Israel. The friends are America and Britain,

truthspeaker, Count yourself lucky that you have not been as directly affected by war, racist ideology and the disingenuous rhetoric and propoganda which the people of other less powerful countries have been. It takes courage to speak out against injustice, it is not as simplistic as a victimization complex. Who are you to reduce her to some cliche. Try to see beyond the desires of the people with whom you identify culturally and racially--which is the only way that we can forge peace

war, sounds like whore.

Waah waah boooohooo hooo  .... everyone look at the perpetual victim, they cannot exist if they can't identify as a victim.

[TruthSpeaker1010]

This horses ass is the biggest liar in history, a travesty for the anti-war war movement, feminist movement, and any true American. She hates this country and after all of these years this dumb bitch can't see past the color of her got dayum skin. She serves as a useful idiot trying to destroy any uniting force, encouraging her victimization mentality. Fuck this dumb btich, she'll die off soon.

It IS the white man's fault. Look into history.
