mike,
in Buffy Ste Marie's song "My Country 'Tis of thy People" there is the
following:
"then further say that American history really began
when Columbus set sail out of Europe! and stress
that the nation of leeches that's conquered this land
are the biggest and bravest and boldest and best!
And yet where in your history books is the tale
of the genocide basic, to this country's birth . . . "
If. despite all the pretense that things have changed, the American people
is still in deep denial about its own genocidal/terrorist actions
historically, and those of our government in our name and with our tacit
support at the present time, then it would stand to reason that the
majority of (yes, I must say it in the same way Michael Moore says, Yes I'm
a Stupid White Man) us Americans can't really see the genocide, especially
of people who we, consider OTHER, in which being dark-skinned seems to be a
necessary, if not sufficient cause.
Lately I have wondered over and over and over why the American people
continue to allow our government to support the ongoing "final solution" of
the Palestinian people, how what is happening now is nothing new but has
been going on since the days of the original terrorist: David Ben Gurion,
year and years with our financial support. The age of Orwell!
While it is important to remember historical genocides, have we learned
nothing and still just stand by and allow it, no, enable it to happen?
Genocide is Peace.
