Why is there an obsession with Israel, particularly considering it occupies the longest chapter in his book, while the other oppressive regimes in the region get a pass? The outrage is deafening when Israel is involved in a conflict, yet when Saudi Arabia-a U.S. ally-starves and slaughters over 400,000 Yemenis, the silence is almost eerie. You won’t see mass protests or calls for a ceasefire. You won’t see flags waving in solidarity for the Yemeni dead. When millions of Arabs are killed by other Arabs, the so-called human rights activists and Western moralists suddenly go mute. Why is that?

America is neck deep in intimidating other nations, pressuring them to serve American ends, ... the alternatives being warfare, embargo, or at the very minimum isolation. Know about the situation in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza, by paying attention to independent or non affiliated journalists. Owen Jones, Democracy Now, Al Jazeera... these are credible and astute analysts. There are many others. Look for them !

    As a military veteran, I was stunned and saddened while researching the US policies on Apartheid & G.enocide. I understood South Africans & the Irish support for Palestine. I never thought about Jim Crow. This gives me more to think about.
    Have you noticed that a large number of Americans support Israel no matter what happens? Even those not Christian or Jewish. It seems baked into our culture.
    I think we should support our allies, but I think that support should be restricted when they violate international law & commit atrocities. America is not going to look good to future generations. I am glad to see more people waking up.
