I watched “Braveheart” again last night after several years.

It was like I was watching the Palestine/Israel conflict.

In any case, it’s heading toward being a doozy of a civil war.

Someone said: it is hard to get happy people to join protest or a revolution. Israel is cultivating their own “deadly crop”.

Shouldn’t be a surprise. At least as far back as the 1917 Balfour Declaration which was promoted by UK Jewery and which promised the Jews a homeland, they have been sowing the seeds of their own destruction…or building their house on sand.

Additionally, when Israel openly embraced the apartheid government of South Africa and it’s prime minister - a known Nazi sympathizer - they undermined the ideal they used in Israel’s creation.
Israel gave South Africa the bomb, basically created their arms industry and helped in the violent enforcement of apartheid.

I don’t believe Israel any longer holds any moral authority as a nation.

To many uneducated and unemployed people in the region are being used as pawns from the powers to be. As long as we fail to give them a decent education and provide them with even minimal jobs the extremists will have control of them.

And as long as they do, this conflict will continue for another thousand years without a solution, as one side blames the other for all the problems.
