I've been in a bad place for a while, but I'm feeling a lot better. I've been watching the news a lot lately, and in particular the news from Gaza, where the Israelis have killed hundreds of Palestinians and injured thousands more. When I watch this I think to myself " Do people honestly think that Israel is always the good guy?". The U.S. always backs Israel because Israel was given to the Jews after the holocaust. Now this sounds all right, protecting the land of a persecuted people right? Wrong. After kicking the Palestinians off their land, we trained a bunch of "commandos" to fight off the Arabs, and Palestinians, and other Muslims who all want Israel dead. These Commandos became leaders, and Israel became a belligerent little state-ling, hoarding resources, fighting off neighbors, and generally messing with everybody. Now, Israel is in power over the Palestinians, and has sealed them within a city with enormous walls, sending bombs over the walls to destroy buildings, and blockading the entrance of food, ambulances and other aid. This just isn't right, it's an attempt at genocide, strikingly similar to the genocide that almost wiped out the Jews.
All of this is going on and I just want to know why people cant go one fucking day without deciding that a group of people needs to be wiped out?
In memorial of the dead on all sides of every war, my anti war Top Five:
- War Pigs -Black Sabbath
- Still In Saigon -Charlie Daniels Band
- War -Edwin Starr
- Generals and Majors -XTC
- Alive With The Glory Of Love -Say Anything
So there that is...
Love the last song :]
