I was reading a small article buried in the paper on the Israeli/West Bank conflict. The article was about 'resistance" to "Settlers" in the west bank.

The paper did have a little tiny line about Palestine citizens "disputing" land claims.

Never in the article was there any mention of any legitimacy to the Palestine lands dispute and that all land acquired in the 1967 Israeli land grab is illegal under international law. That fact alone would paint Israel in a totally different light. The article was extremely pro-Israeli and anti-Palestinian.

This was in the Democrat and Chronicle.  A paper I loath anyways due to their anti-2nd amendment status. A few years ago if I had read the same article without knowing the Israeli's are doing illegal occupations I would have assumed the Palatines were the bad guys.

Welcome to reality.  The men behind the curtains are very effective at what they do.  I always sided with the Palestinians, even before I was awake but I have been fully awaken for about 4 years.  Once we know, it's our duty to inform anyone who will listen.

Israel has another week to launch their newest war.

i had a feeling that they would use the Olympics to distract the general public.

if you were sitting down with your family to watch television after a long day at work or job-hunting, what would you rather watch - something about the Olympics or news about horrible fatalities inflicted by Israel ?  most people would rather watch the former.

i would be very happy to be wrong on this hunch.

maybe Israel has entered a peaceful phase.  a whole week has gone by and the only people doing the killing are Israel's proxy, the US military.
