Take a look at national news coming out of the Israel/palestine area. When you hear about conflict between islam and judaisim it is almost always
presented in this format:
"palestinaians attack, israel retalliates."
In truth Israel was the first to start conflict, they took the land from palestine. They occupied all of the high grounds, bulldozing and condeming
homes of palestinians, and building large structures righ over them. They hold strategic positions in the country, and they isolated palestinias into
landlocked states, that are almost impossible to travel out of, due to the fact that Isreal doesn't recognize palestinian documentation of birth.
They are now prisoners in thier own country. Not that I respect the UN at all, but Israel was ordered out of the country by the UN 50 years ago. Not
that you would hear that on the news, because that might create tensions with important allies. World politics is presented in whatever format suits
the motivations of the government. Truth is an afterthought. Even though we are a big part of the UN, we blatanly shrug our shoulders as Israel
ignores the decisions of the organization. Then we use the UN as an excuse to get our foot in the door of Iraq. What a blatant contradiction of
principle. The government ignores the laws of the UN to satify foregin interests, only to use the UN laws later to satisfy its need to secure foregin
intrests. Hmmmm.....
It is truly ridiculous that we as a people believe what we see on the news, I just can't believe it. I see nothing but repetitious "fluff" that
prays on the extremes of emotion. Emotions being, the weakness of the people.
