Why is the US financially supporting, trading with, and propping up racist, dictatorial Apartheid regimes like Communist China, Saudi Arabia and Israel?
Israel is not a state of all its citizens. According to the nation-state law we passed, Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and not anyone else.

100+ Groups Condemn Israeli Violence in East Jerusalem and Gaza | Common Dreams News
The groups’ statement says the current conflagration is part of a “broader context of Israel’s ongoing policy to forcibly remove Palestinians from their homes through eviction, home demolition, and displacement.”
As the death toll from Israel’s ongoing air and artillery strikes in Gaza topped 120 on Friday and as Israeli security forces killed at least 10 Arab protesters in the occupied West Bank, over 100 U.S.-based advocacy groups issued a statement urging the Biden administration to condemn the Israeli government’s plan to ethnically cleanse thousands of Palestinians from neighborhoods in East Jerusalem.
The groups—which include peace, faith-based, labor, racial justice, and other organizations—wrote that they “stand in solidarity with the Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem currently at risk of losing their homes and call on the Biden administration to immediately and publicly condemn the Israeli government’s plans to forcibly displace 1,550 Palestinians from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah and Al-Bustan neighborhoods,” while urging the U.S. administration to “exert the utmost diplomatic pressure to prevent these potential war crimes from taking place.”
The statement says the planned expulsions are occurring in the “broader context of Israel’s ongoing policy to forcibly remove Palestinians from their homes through eviction, home demolition, and displacement, with the express intent of pushing Palestinians out of Jerusalem in order to create and maintain a Jewish majority and supremacy in the city.”

Blowback: How Israel Went From Helping Create Hamas to Bombing It
Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)
“The Israeli government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the military government gives to the mosques.”
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. Back in the mid-1980s, Cohen even wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists against Palestinian secularists
They didn’t listen to him. And Hamas, as I explain in the fifth installment of my short film series for The Intercept on blowback, was the result. To be clear: First, the Israelis helped build up a militant strain of Palestinian political Islam, in the form of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood precursors; then, the Israelis switched tack and tried to bomb, besiege, and blockade it out of existence.
Why did Palestinians elect Hamas to be the 'leaders' of Gaza?
DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT, IT IS THE WORLD LOOKING AWAY FROM THE APARTHEID HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Israel Rounds Up Palestinian Protesters as World Looks Away
At least 74 Palestinians were detained by Monday afternoon, in the first hours of what Israel’s police force is calling “Operation Law and Order.” Palestinian rights groups called the planned arrest of up to 500 protesters — on charges ranging from attacks on the police to vandalism to online incitement — a blatant crackdown on dissent, timed to coincide with the dimming of the global spotlight on the conflict.
“Israeli forces and police are going on a mass arresting rampage in Lydd, and other Palestinian cities in an attempt to ‘even the score’ with Palestinians that spoke up against their ethnic cleansing,” the Palestinian writer Mariam Barghouti observed on Twitter, as video of two men being detained and blindfolded in the city Israelis call Lod circulated online. “This is what we warned about. Israel will target us all when you stop looking.”
“The world tends to look away as soon as Israeli lives are no longer threatened by rockets but it is stuff like this, that Israel does to Palestinians every day, that guarantees future rounds,” the writer and political analyst Yousef Munayyer commented on the same images.
“The massive arrest campaign announced by Israeli police last night is a militarized war against Palestinian citizens of Israel,” Hassan Jabareen, the general director of Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, said in a statement. “This is a war against Palestinian demonstrators, political activists, and minors, employing massive Israeli police forces to raid the homes of Palestinian citizens.”
KUSHNER AND TRUMP TRIED TO FORCE AND CRAM AN ARTIFICIAL TOP DOWN BILLIONAIRE CONTROLLED 'PEACE' DOWN THE THROATS OF THE PALESTINIANS, BUT WITHOUT ANY JUSTICE, EQUALITY OR RIGHTS FOR THEM
The current violence between Palestinians and Israel is evidence of the failure of the Trump peace plan, in which he sided entirely with a despotic top down anti democratic Saudis and Israeli Zionists, but against the Palestinians, and anyone allied with them.
TRUMP TURNS TO GAZA AS MIDDLE EAST DEAL OF THE CENTURY COLLAPSES – ASTUTE NEWS
Cook sees why this plan would be attractive to the US and Israel. (He notes that Israeli Gen. Yoav Mordechai, who coordinates strategy in the occupied territories, has proposed “a free trade zone and infrastructure projects in Sinai.”) Among other benefits, it would “make permanent the territorial division between Gaza and the West Bank, and the ideological split between the rival factions of Fatah and Hamas”; “downgrade Gaza from a diplomatic issue to a humanitarian one;” “encourage the eventual settlement of potentially millions of Palestinian refugees in Egyptian territory, stripping them of their right in international law to return to their homes, now in Israel”; “weaken the claims of Abbas and his Palestinian Authority, located in the West Bank, to represent the Palestinian cause and undermine their moves to win recognition of statehood at the United Nations”; “and lift opprobrium from Israel by shifting responsibility for repressing Gaza’s Palestinians to Egypt and the wider Arab world.” Why would Egypt take the deal? Because, Cooks says, of “Egypt’s susceptibility to financial inducements.”
Thus the Trump-Kushner strategy may be to destroy, in the name of humanitarianism, any prospect of genuine Palestinian liberation. The effect could be to dump the Gazans in Egypt, effectively if not physically, while Israel continues to gobble up the West Bank.
Bye-bye, two-state solution. Hello, one-state apartheid.
REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP BELIEVE THAT ARMAGEDDON IS COMING, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO HURRY IT UP, RATHER THAN MAKING PEACE WITH PALESTINIANS
The New York Times At the heart of the Middle East peace plan Jared Kushner helped negotiate under Donald Trump “was the deadly fiction that the Palestinians were so abject and defeated that Israel could simply ignore their demands,” Michelle Goldberg writes. “But the explosion of fighting in Israel and Palestine in recent days makes clear something that never should have been in doubt: justice for the Palestinians is a precondition for peace.”
Many people in both Israel and the US WANT Armageddon, sooner rather than later.
Republicans plus Trump, and many Neoliberals as well, are are fighting FOR more VIOLENCE, WAR and bloodshed, rather than less.
US IS A WAR CRIMINAL, BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS ONLY ISRAEL, BY SENDING BILLIONS IN MILITARY 'AID', SUCH AS BOMBS USED ON PALESTINIANS, PLUS ILLEGAL WMD OF ALL KINDS
Palestinians inside Gaza have no weapons of war, no tanks, no planes, no ships or bombs. They are barricaded inside of a huge prison of war camp, which is completely walled off by Israel. They are effectively being held prisoner inside of what used to be their country. A barricade against pretty much anyone or anything coming in or going out has been put in place by the Israelis for many years. All that the people can do in Gaza is to hold peaceful protests, but then they get 'sniped' by Israeli snipers.
In response to largely peaceful "March of Return" protests at the Israel-Gaza border in 2018, Israeli snipers killed 183 Palestinians and wounded over 6,100, including 122 that required amputations, 21 paralyzed by spinal cord injuries and 9 permanently blinded.
Biden is carrying on Trump's legacy of criminal complicity with the oppression of Palestinians.

A JEWISH LEADER CALLS FOR END TO OCCUPATION AND KILLING OF PALESTIANS
U.S. Jewish Leader Henry Siegman to Israel: Stop Killing Palestinians and End the Occupation | Democracy Now!
In the second part of our interview, Henry Siegman, the former head of the American Jewish Congress and the Synagogue Council of America, discusses the assault on Gaza, Hamas’ rocket attacks on Israel, and how peace could be attainable if the Obama administration reverse decades-long support for the Israeli occupation.
Born in 1930 in Germany, Siegman fled as the Nazis came to power, eventually arriving in the United States. His father was a leader of the European Zionist movement pushing for the creation of a Jewish state. In New York, Siegman studied and was ordained as an Orthodox rabbi by Yeshiva Torah Vodaas. He now serves as president of the U.S./Middle East Project. Commenting on the Hamas charter that calls for Israel’s destruction, Siegman says: “The difference between Hamas and Israel is that Israel is actually implementing [a destruction policy] — actually preventing a Palestinian state which doesn’t exist.
Millions of Palestinians live in this subservient position without rights, without security, without hope, and without a future.” Commenting on Israeli justifications for killing Palestinians in the name of self-defense from 1948 through today, Siegman responds: “If you don’t want to kill Palestinians, if that’s what pains you so much, you don’t have to kill them. You can give them their rights, and you can end the occupation. And to put the blame for the occupation and for the killing of innocents that we are seeing in Gaza now on the Palestinians — why? Because they want a state of their own? They want what Jews wanted and achieved? This is a great moral insult.”

WHY IS AN APARTHEID STATE GETTING SO MUCH FOREIGN AID, COMPARED TO ALL OTHER COUNTRIES THAT NEED IT MUCH MORE?
HISTORY OF ISRAEL
There was never a voluntary agreement by all parties concerned to share territory with the Israelis. The lands occupied by Israelis were 'declared' by the UN. Ideally, some nation in the world such as the Germans, would have handed some territory over to the Jewish people as reparations for crimes committed against them.
The white supremacist, Alt Right style Nazi Reich forcibly created Apartheid and made Jews into second class subhumans, without citizenship, imposing a second class status, armband ID's, special state ID and discriminatory policies. The next step was to kick Jews out of Germany, and/or force Jews to become refugees, who originally had German or other country citizenship.

The next step was to kick Jews out of Germany, and/or force Jews to become refugees, who originally had German or other country citizenship.
As Hitler rose to power, Jews slowly but surely had their freedoms and rights taken away. were also segregated into special 'areas' or sections of cities, such as the Apartheid like Warsaw Ghettos, where the Jews were surrounded by high walls and guarded gates, without freedom of movement. Jews inside of these apartheid zones quite literally starved to death.
The FINAL SOLUTION was to set up special camps staffed by the SS and commit genocide on all Jews.
There are many steps to genocide, so watch for these in your country. Racism and xenophobia is the road and the policy of genocide is at the end of it.
Racists like Hitler in Germany were allowed to rise to power, just as they were allowed to rise in power under Trump in America. There are racists in every country of the world, including in Israel. Racists in Israel have risen to power and now control the government, just as they have in America under Trump.
What has happened since then is labeled as Zionism, but many Jewish people are opposed to the racist policies of the Zionists who have set up an Apartheid type of system in Palestine, just as non racists are opposed to the racist policies being implemented by Trump and the Republican Party.
ILAN PAPPE, JACOBIN: NO, ISRAEL IS NOT A DEMOCRACY – AND NEVER WAS
SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 A GREEN ROAD DAILY NEWS
The litmus test of any democracy is the level of tolerance it is willing to extend towards the minorities living in it. In this respect, Israel falls far short of being a true democracy.
For example, after the new territorial gains several laws were passed ensuring a superior position for the majority: the laws governing citizenship, the laws concerning land ownership, and most important of all, the law of return.
The latter grants automatic citizenship to every Jew in the world, wherever he or she was born. This law in particular is a flagrantly undemocratic one, for it was accompanied by a total rejection of the Palestinian right of return — recognized internationally by the UN General Assembly Resolution 194 of 1948. This rejection refuses to allow the Palestinian citizens of Israel to unite with their immediate families or with those who were expelled in 1948.
Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.

RACISTS KICK PEOPLE OUT OF A COUNTRY AS ONE STEP ON THE ROAD TO APARTHEID AND GENOCIDE, VIA ZIONISM
Besides other measures by the Nazis which created fear and flight, Jews were stripped of German citizenship[16] by the Reich Citizenship Law of 1935.[17]
On 4 July 1936 an agreement was signed under League auspices that defined a refugee coming from Germany as "any person who was settled in that country, who does not possess any nationality other than German nationality, and in respect of whom it is established that in law or in fact he or she does not enjoy the protection of the Government of the Reich" (article 1).[18]
Instead of correcting the wrong done to the Jewish people at the source of the problem, some other nation that had nothing to do with the Jewish Holocaust and Jewish refugee crisis was forced to give up land, without it's permission and without it having done anything against the Jewish people, in order that the Jewish people might have a 'homeland'.
Note that the above shows how the Nazis FIRST stripped Jews of their right to EQUAL STATUS, and citizenship rights.
It is quite ironic that the Jewish state has done this exact same thing to the Palestinians inside of Israel, stripping them of EQUAL STATUS, and citizenship rights.
How did this happen? Apartheid generally speaking comes out of oppression, forced colonization, and violent overthrow of peaceful governments, no matter where it is seen.
The minority can never take or hold on to political or economic power without the use of force and Apartheid laws, which makes the majority 'less than' full citizens with a full right to vote and enter government. Finally, the Racist Apartheid state then justifies all of the oppression and violence used against the minority, including in the end, the genocidal ' final solution'.
Palestinians were not asked to volunteer to give up their land. Palestinians did not give permission for Jews to move into their country. Palestinians did not ask for the Balfour Declaration, which gave their land, resources, businesses, and homes to a newly created Jewish state. Palestinians did not even have anything to do with the genocide of Jews, so why where they chosen to be 'punished' as a nation?

PALESTINIANS ASK FOR UK TO APOLOGIZE FOR BALFOUR DECLARATION, WHICH FORCED PALESTINIANS TO GIVE UP THEIR LAND, HOMES, RESOURCES, AND BUSINESSES, WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION OR CONSENT, NOR ANY PAYMENT
The UN set up the original 'homeland' for Jewish refugees coming out of Germany.
Palestinians are being 'forced' to give up their land, assets, homes, businesses, and existence to Jewish 'settlers'. The above map shows how this process has worked over time.
EVEN THOUGH FORCE AND THREATS ARE BEING USED TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM PALESTIANIANS, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO FIGHT BACK, OR THEY ARE PUNISHED SEVERELY, VIA SHOOTING, BOMBING, OR IMPRISONMENT
Why didn't the UN instead punish those who committed the genocide and supported it, by taking land, homes and resources away from the ones who were directly to blame for the genocide of millions of Jews?

“We ask Great Britain, as we approach 100 years since this infamous declaration, to draw the necessary lessons and to bear its historic, legal, political, material and moral responsibility for the consequences of this declaration, including an apology to the Palestinian people for the catastrophes, misery and injustice this declaration created and to act to rectify these disasters and remedy its consequences, including by the recognition of the state of Palestine,” Abbas told UN delegates.

WHAT IS ANTISEMITISM, AND WHAT IS ZIONISM?
Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in central and eastern Europe as a national revival movement, in reaction to anti-Semitic and exclusionary nationalist movements in Europe.[5][6] Soon after this, most leaders of the movement associated the main goal with creating the desired state in Palestine, then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire.[7][8][9] Zionism is a colonialist,[14] racist[15] and exceptionalist[16] ideology that advocates violence during Mandatory Palestine, followed by the forced exodus of Palestinians, and the subsequent denial of their human rights.[17][18][19][20]
"The Jewish Socialists’ Group says: Antisemitism and anti-Zionism are not the same. Zionism is a political ideology which has always been contested within Jewish life since it emerged in 1897, and it is entirely legitimate for non-Jews as well as Jews to express opinions about it, whether positive or negative. Not all Jews are Zionists. Not all Zionists are Jews.
Criticism of Israeli government policy and Israeli state actions against the Palestinians is not antisemitism. Those who conflate criticism of Israeli policy with antisemitism, whether they are supporters or opponents of Israeli policy, are actually helping the antisemites. We reject any attempt, from whichever quarter, to place legitimate criticism of Israeli policy out of bounds.
On the Chief Rabbi’s other point, what right in law do the Jewish people have to return after 2000 years, forcibly displacing the Palestinians and denying them the same right? Besides, scholars tells us that most returning Jews have no ancestral links to the Holy Land whatsoever.
Before Zionism: The shared life of Jews and Palestinians:
ZIONISM MOVEMENT SUPPORTED BY BILLIONAIRES AND MASS MEDIA IN ISRAEL PLUS US, HAS CREATED AN APARTHEID STATE, AND THE NEXT STEP COULD VERY WELL BE GENOCIDE, COMMITTED AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS, BY THE JEWISH STATE
Zionism is now the foundation ideology of the state of Israel. As London School of Economics professor and activist Jonathan Rosenhead put it to me recently, Zionism has meant grave injustices for the Palestinian people, so in that sense, every usage of the word “Zionist” is an accusation. Yes, Zionists, we are accusing you of supporting an oppressive ideology.
Zionism is a violent ideology the followers of which — Zionists — planned and carried out the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians as the fundamental fact of the foundation of the state of Israel between 1947 and 1948, commemorated by Palestinians the world over as Al-Nakba, the Catastrophe.
Zionism is a racist ideology which denies those Palestinian refugees and their descendants their basic human and legal right to return to their homes, only because they are not Jewish. Zionism is a colonial ideology which still builds exclusively Jewish settlements on top of Palestinian land confiscated violently in the occupied West Bank. Zionism is an apartheid ideology which denies the vote and basic human rights to 4.5 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, and treats the Palestinians within Israel (some 20 per cent of the population) as second or third class citizens who have unequal rights in Israeli law, policies and practices.
David Icke Israeli Occupation Army Destroys Palestinian Homes in West Bank: http://bit.ly/23AdcLZ #Israel#Palestine #Zionism
Let's assume for a minute that besides the current 1.5 million Palestinians refugees, that the rest of the millions of Palestinians are thrown out of their own country by the Jewish people, and that they are now ALL homeless refugees.
Will the UN 'declare' some territory somewhere else in the world is now theirs, without the permission of that sovereign nation?
What could happen as a next step now that the state of Apartheid has been firmly established in all of Israel and the Gaza strip, is genocide of the Palestinians, because they are less than, just as the Nazis did to the Jews.
Ironically, the abused often pass on the abuse to others, because that is how it all works, unless there is an intervention and processing of the abuse. Since the Jewish people have received no help in terms of processing their anger, fear and grief due to the Jewish Holocaust, it seems that they may in turn pass on the legacy of abuse to many future generations, and quite possibly also the inheritance of genocide historically.

THERE ARE NOW 1.5 MILLION HOMELESS PALESTINIAN REFUGEES, CREATED BY A ZIONIST JEWISH STATE; WILL THE UN DECLARE A HOMELAND FOR THESE PALESTINIANS NOW?
The UN reports that; "Nearly one-third of the registered Palestine refugees, more than 1.5 million individuals, live in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
A Palestine refugee camp is defined as a plot of land placed at the disposal of UNRWA by the host government to accommodate Palestine refugees and set up facilities to cater to their needs. Areas not designated as such and are not recognized as camps. However, UNRWA also maintains schools, health centres and distribution centres in areas outside the recognized camps where Palestine refugees are concentrated, such as Yarmouk, near Damascus.
The plots of land on which the recognized camps were set up are either state land or, in most cases, land leased by the host government from local landowners. This means that the refugees in camps do not 'own' the land on which their shelters were built, but have the right to 'use' the land for a residence.
Socioeconomic conditions in the camps are generally poor, with high population density, cramped living conditions and inadequate basic infrastructure such as roads and sewers.
http://www.unrwa.org/palestine-refugees
Hmmm, that sounds like perfect conditions to create terrorists.. via desperation, poverty, no education, no jobs, no future... When the terrorist organization recruiters come through these camps, what are the odds that they get plenty of 'volunteers', willing to die, just so that they can get money and a 'job'?
THE STATE OF ISRAEL GREW OUT OF ZIONIST TERRORISTS FIGHTING AGAINST THE BRITISH OCCUPIERS
Beginning in 1929, Arabs and Jews openly fought in Palestine, and Britain attempted to limit Jewish immigration as a means of appeasing the Arabs. As a result of the Holocaust in Europe, many Jews illegally entered Palestine during World War II. Radical Jewish groups employed terrorism against British forces in Palestine, which they thought had betrayed the Zionist cause. At the end of World War II, in 1945, the United States took up the Zionist cause. Britain, unable to find a practical solution, referred the problem to the United Nations, which in November 1947 voted to partition Palestine. The Jews were to possess more than half of Palestine, although they made up less than half of Palestine’s population. The Palestinian Arabs, aided by volunteers from other countries, fought the Zionist forces, but by May 14, 1948, the Jews had secured full control of their U.N.-allocated share of Palestine and also some Arab territory. On May 14, Britain withdrew with the expiration of its mandate, and the State of Israel was proclaimed. The next day, forces from Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded.
So it seems that the only way to get a 'homeland' declared by the UN is to act as Zionist terrorists, and the example above illustrates the way to get a homeland, if you are refugees. Why would anyone stop the Palestinians from doing the exact same thing that the Zionist Jewish people did, so that they too, can get a 'homeland'?
Wouldn't you agree that this is exactly what the Palestinians are trying to do, via Hamas, or the Palestinian Liberation Organization?
Yet, the Israelis condemn and punish the Palestinians as terrorists and then bomb cities full of Palestinian civilians if they try to do the same things that they did in order to establish a free, sovereign 'homeland'. Over 1.5 million Palestinians are essentially homeless refugees now, because they were displaced by Jewish 'refugees'.
Does one refugee really deserve more land or resources than any other refugee, just based on religion or historical heritage?
(CNN)The U.N.'s refugee agency reports that the number of displaced people is at its highest ever -- surpassing even post-World War II numbers, when the world was struggling to come to terms with the most devastating event in history.

Where are all of these refugees coming from? Israel has a policy of razing homes of Palestinians, and then building illegal Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory. If they try to fight back, they are labeled terrorists and bombed out of existence.

UN DECLARES THAT PALESTINIANS HAVE A RIGHT TO RETURN TO THEIR OWN HOMELAND, BUT SO FAR, ISRAEL HAS REFUSED ENTRY TO ANY PALESTINIANS WANTING TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND
Wikipedia; "On 11 December 1948, the UN General Assembly in non-binding Resolution 194, Article 11 resolved that the refugees who wish to "live at peace with their neighbors … should be permitted" to return to their homes at the "earliest practicable date"[17][18] This forms one basis for the Palestinian political claim for a 'Palestinian right of return'.
An independent poll conducted in 2003 with the Palestinian populations of Gaza, West Bank, Jordan and Lebanon showed that the majority (54%) would accept a financial compensation and a place to live in West Bank or Gaza in place of returning to the exact place in modern-day Israel where they or their ancestors lived (this possibility of settlement is contemplated in the Resolution 194). Only 10% said they would live in Israel if given the option.[19]
MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS DECLARATION AND PROCLAIMED THE RIGHT OF SELF DETERMINATION FOR ARABS ACROSS PALESTINE
Immediately following the declaration of the new Jewish state, both superpower leaders, U.S. President Harry S. Truman and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, recognized the new state.
The Arab League members Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq refused to accept the UN partition plan and proclaimed the right of self-determination for the Arabs across the whole of Palestine. The Arab states marched their forces into what had, until the previous day, been the British Mandate for Palestine, starting the first Arab–Israeli War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Israel#State_of_Israel_.281948.E2.80.93present.29
Of course, this and subsequent wars over this 'declaration' have been what caused the 1.5 million Palestinian refugees. The declaration by the US that the Syrian and Libyan leaders must go, and the subsequent bombing of those countries and proxie invasions by US supported terrorists, are what created tens of millions more refugees, which the US refuses to care for or take in however.

Many people and nations objected to the forcible taking of lands, resources and buildings plus homes. But if they fight back using violence, rockets or other weapons, they are labeled terrorists. Many religions have histories in this area, and consider sites within it as sacred and holy, worth dying for in order to protect them. Many Palestinians and Gaza citizens see the Israelis as 'invaders' or foreign occupiers, as do other Middle Eastern nations.
HISTORY OF ISRAEL
Many religions and faiths were birthed in the area now declared a homeland for Israel. Many and varied religions and political groups have historical 'ownership' claims in this region. Many religions have to co exist in Israel, as it would not work for just one particular faith to claim it all and then throw all other religions out, correct? Ideally, this same historical sharing would also form the basis for a peace agreement, by sharing this very diverse religious 'homeland' with people of many faiths, not just one, via an international UN mandated 'declaration'.
Wikipedia; "The History of Israel encompasses the Jewish history in the Land of Israel, as well as the history of the modern State of Israel. Modern Israel is roughly located on the site of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah except that these kingdoms also included what is now the West Bank. It is the birthplace of the Hebrew language and of the Abrahamic religions, and contains sites sacred to Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Samaritanism, Druze and Bahá'à Faith.
Although coming under the sway of various empires and home to a variety of ethnicities, the Land of Israel was predominantly Jewish until the 3rd century.[1] The area became increasingly Christian after the 3rd century and then largely Muslim following the 7th century conquest and until the middle of the 20th century. It was a focal point of conflict between Christianity and Islam between 1096 and 1291, and from the end of the Crusades was part of the Syrian province of first the Mamluk Sultanate and then the Ottoman Empire until the British conquest in 1917.
A Jewish national movement, Zionism, emerged in the late-19th century. Following the British capture of Ottoman territories in the Levant, the Balfour Declaration in World War I and the formation of the Mandate of Palestine, Aliyah (Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel) increased, causing Arab–Jewish tensions and a collision of the Arab and Jewish nationalist movements.
Israeli independence in 1948 was marked by massive migration of Jews from both Europe and theMuslim countries to Israel, and of Arabs from Israel, followed by the extensive Arab–Israeli conflict.[2] About 43% of the world's Jews live in Israel today, the largest Jewish community in the world.[3]

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN ISRAEL, AS OPPOSED TO THE SPIN PROVIDED BY THE MASS MEDIA?
What could be worse than racism? Well, apartheid and then genocide comes to mind.. When will Zionists resort to genocide to accomplish the ethnic cleansing that is the ultimate goal of the most radical Zionists?
Why are so many orthodox Jews and people around the world opposed to Zionism as it is currently being expressed with the use of military force and Apartheid against all Palestinians?

ORTHODOX JEWS ARE PROTESTING AGAINST ZIONISTS TAKING OVER PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
The picture below are orthodox Jews in Manhattan NY, who are protesting against Zionism inside of Israel, as it currently being expressed with the result of Apartheid like conditions for the Palestinians.
Due to the 'expansion' and forced taking of lands from the former previous Palestinian inhabitants, there is still a great deal of tension and animosity in the entire region. Anyone fighting or resisting the taking of lands, property, or resources by the Israelis is treated as a terrorist or worse even if what is being established are illegal Israeli settlements, contrary to all international agreements. It is somewhat ironic that it was Israeli Zionist terrorists that fought for and got territory that they desired to have, via violence, killings and bombings.
But now that same kind of terrorism is 'not allowed' by the Palestinians trying to do the same thing, against a hostile occupying force. The current situation is that due to the extreme hostility generated by expanding Israeli territories, all attempts to fight back against this taking are being met with increasing suppression tactics, including Israel instituting a state of Apartheid control.

In the case of the Gaza strip, the entire strip has been turned into the equivalent of the Warsaw ghetto.
GAZA STRIP WITHIN ISRAEL IS HEMMED IN ON ALL SIDES BY WALLS, GUARD TOWERS, AND SURROUNDED BY ISRAELI TROOPS, BLOCKADED BY SEA; NO ONE CAN MOVE IN OR OUT
How would you feel if Gaza was your country, and now you are left with a small sliver of land? Gaza used to be free and democratic, open to trade and travel, just like any other country. Now, it is like a prison camp, surrounded by walls and blockaded by sea. You are told to move out and give up your home that your family has lived in for hundreds of years and it is bulldozed. No one can export or import anything, as the whole strip is blockaded and just about nothing is allowed in or out.
The illegal closure of the Gaza Strip, which has been steadily tightened since June 2007 has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli authorities impose measures to undermine the freedom of trade, including the basic needs for the Gaza Strip population and the agricultural and industrial products to be exported. For 9 consecutive years, Israel has tightened the land and naval closure to isolate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, and other countries around the world. This resulted in grave violations of the economic, social and cultural rights and a deterioration of living conditions for 1.8 million people. The Israeli authorities have established Karm Abu Salem (Kerem Shaloum) as the sole crossing for imports and exports in order to exercise its control over the Gaza Strip’s economy. They also aim at imposing a complete ban on the Gaza Strip’s exports. The Israeli closure raised the rate of poverty to 38.8%, 21.1% of which suffer from extreme poverty. Moreover, the rate of unemployment increased up to 44%, which reflects the unprecedented economic deterioration in the Gaza Strip. In the West Bank, Israeli forces continued to suffocate the Palestinian cities and village by imposing military checkpoints around and/or between them. This created “cantons” isolated from each other that hinders the movement of civilians. Moreover, the Palestinian civilians suffering aggravated because of the annexation wall and checkpoints erected on daily basis to catch Palestinians. During the reporting period, Israeli forces arrested 2 Palestinian civilians, including a child, while passing through those checkpoints.
Source/credit "SMALL PEOPLE" AGAINST BIG GOVERNMENT 44 % of Gaza has been taken by the Israelis; they call it a 'buffer zone', and they have expelled the people from that region into the remainder of Gaza. The population of the most densely populated place on earth has been crammed into an even smaller space.
In the linked article, I describe how there is a land grab going on. The Israeli prime minister, Binjamin Netanyahu, has shrunk Gaza’s habitable land mass by 44%, with an edict establishing a 3km (1.8-mile) buffer zone, a “no-go” zone for Palestinians – and that’s quite significant, because a good part of Gaza is only 3 to 4 miles wide. Over 250,000 Palestinians within this zone must leave their homes, or be bombed. As their territorial space collapses, 1.8m Gazans now living in 147 square miles will be compressed into 82 square miles.
Gaza’s entire social and physical infrastructure of housing, hospitals, places of worship, more than 130 of its schools, plus markets, water systems, sewer systems and roads are being destroyed. Under constant attack, without access to water, sanitary facilities, food and medical care, Gazans face an IDF-scripted apocalypse.
With Gaza’s land mass shrinking due to Israeli military action, it’s about time someone asked: What is the end game? Three weeks ago, Moshe Feiglin, deputy speaker of the Knesset, called for Gaza to “become part of sovereign Israel and will be populated by Jews. This will also serve to ease the housing crisis in Israel.”
Israel has a housing crisis? After the “no-go” buffer zone is evacuated, there will be 21,951 Palestinians per square mile in Gaza, while Israel’s population density stands at 964 persons per square mile.
Deputy Speaker Feiglin wants the Palestinians in Gaza to lose all of their land. One must not assume that Mr Feiglin or his Likud faction speak for the main government actors like Prime Minister Netanyahu. After all, Knesset politics are complex and divergent. But since Gaza has just lost control of that 44% of its land, it may also be time to ask: does the establishment of that 3km zone represent the unfolding of a larger plan? Is that the end game?

THE JEWISH CHRONICLE POINTS OUT THAT THE ABUSED AND TORTURED OFTEN END UP ABUSING AND TORTURING OTHERS IN TURN
There is a well known maxim that the people who are severely traumatized and abused are often the very same people who then turn around and do the same to others, by acting the abuse out. Could Israel be following this maxim?
JEWISH CHRONICLE ONLINE: THE GAZA STRIP HAS ESSENTIALLY BECOME THE EQUIVALENT OF WHAT THE NAZIS DID TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE INSIDE THE WARSAW GHETTO DURING WWII
The Warsaw Ghetto[1] (German: Warschauer Ghetto, called by the German authorities Jüdischer Wohnbezirk in Warschau, Jewish residential district in Warsaw; Polish: getto warszawskie) was the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. It was established in the Muranów neighborhood of the Polish capital between October and November 16, 1940, part of the territory of the General Government of German-occupied Poland, with over 400,000 Jews from the vicinity residing in an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi). From there, at least 254,000 Ghetto residents were sent to the Treblinka extermination camp over the course of two months in the summer of 1942. The death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto, between starvation, disease, deportations to extermination camps, Großaktion Warschau, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the subsequent razing of the ghetto, is estimated to be at least 300,000.[2][3][4][5]
The only thing lacking in the Gaza strip is the deportation of Gaza citizens to extermination camps. If the Jews in these Warsaw prison ghettos fought back against the Nazis, they were killed. If the Gaza prison camp prisoners fight back today, they are killed and their homes, infrastructure and livelihoods are destroyed, and then not allowed to be built back up again. The victims of the Gaza prison camp are being blamed for their own destruction and deaths, in exactly the same way that the Nazis blamed the Jews in the Warsaw prison ghettos.
Wikipedia; "Due to the Israeli and Egyptian border closures and the Israeli sea and air blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip, nor allowed to freely import or export goods. Sunni Muslims make up the predominant part of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
Despite the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza,[22] the United Nations, international human rights organisations, and the majority of governments and legal commentators consider the territory to be still occupied by Israel, supported by additional restrictions placed on Gaza by Egypt. Israel maintains direct external control over Gaza and indirect control over life within Gaza: it controls Gaza's air and maritime space, and six of Gaza's seven land crossings. It reserves the right to enter Gaza at will with its military and maintains a no-go buffer zone within the Gaza territory. Gaza is dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities.[22]
Gaza, August 2014 after Israeli bombardments (and these buildings have not been allowed to be repaired or built back up, due to border closings and blockades of any meaningful amounts of supplies)
The international community regards all of the Palestinian territories including Gaza as occupied.[37] Human Rights Watch has declared at the UN Human Rights Council that it views Israel as a de facto occupying power in the Gaza Strip, even though Israel has no military or other presence, because the Oslo Accord authorizes Israel to control the airspace and theterritorial sea.[38][39][40]
In his statement on the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict, Richard Falk, United Nations Special Rapporteur wrote that international humanitarian law applied to Israel "in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war."[41] Amnesty International, the World Health Organization, Oxfam, the International Committee of the Red Cross, The United Nations, the United Nations General Assembly, the UN Fact Finding Mission to Gaza, international human rights organizations, US government websites, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and a significant number of legal commentators (Geoffrey Aronson,Meron Benvenisti, Claude Bruderlein, Sari Bashi and Kenneth Mann, Shane Darcy and John Reynolds, Yoram Dinstein, John Dugard, Marc S. Kaliser, Mustafa Mari, Iain Scobbie, and Yuval Shany maintain that Israel's extensive direct external control over Gaza, and indirect control over the lives of its internal population mean that Gaza remained occupied.[42][43]
Israel states that it does not exercise effective control or authority over any land or institutions in the Gaza Strip and thus the Gaza Strip is no longer subject to the former military occupation.[44][45] Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel Tzipi Livni stated in January 2008: "Israel got out of Gaza. It dismantled its settlements there. No Israeli soldiers were left there after the disengagement."[46] In spite of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the Hamas Government in Gaza considers Gaza as occupied territory.[47]
The Israeli army makes use of drones, which can launch precise missiles. They are equipped with high-resolution cameras and other sensors. In addition, the missile fired from a drone has its own cameras that allow the operator to observe the target from the moment of firing. After a missile has been launched, the drone operator can remotely divert it elsewhere. Drone operators can view objects on the ground in detail during both day and night.[51] Israeli drones routinely patrol over Gaza.
Part of the territory is depopulated because of the imposition of buffer zones on both the Israeli and Egyptian borders.[52][53][54]
Initially, Israel imposed a 50-meter buffer zone in Gaza.[55] In 2000, it was expanded to 150 meters.[53] Following the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza, an undefined buffer zone was maintained, including a no-fishing zone along the coast.
In 2009/2010, Israel expanded the buffer zone to 300 meters.[2][55][56] In 2010, the UN estimated that 30 percent of the arable land in Gaza had been lost to the buffer zone.[52][55]
On 25 February 2013, pursuant to a November 2012 ceasefire, Israel declared a buffer zone of 100 meters on land and 6 nautical miles offshore. In the following month, the zone was changed to 300 meters and 3 nautical miles. The 1994 Gaza Jericho Agreement allows 20 nautical miles, and the 2002 Bertini Commitment allows 12 nautical miles.[2][53]
In August 2015, the IDF confirmed a buffer zone of 300 meters for residents and 100 meters for farmers, but without explaining how to distinguish between the two.[57] As of 2015, on a third of Gaza's agricultural land, residents risk Israeli attacks. According to PCHR, Israeli attacks take place up to approximately 1.5 km (0.9 mi) from the border, making 17% of Gaza's total territory a risk zone.[53]
Israel says the buffer zone is needed to protect Israeli communities just over the border from sniper fire and rocket attacks. In the 18 months until November 2010, one Thai farm worker in Israel was killed by a rocket fired from Gaza, and in 2010, according to IDF figures, 180 rockets and mortars had been fired into Israel by militants. In 6 months, however, 11 Palestinians civilians, including four children, had been killed by Israeli fire and at least 70 Palestinian civilians were injured in the same period, including at least 49 who were working collecting rubble and scrap metal.[52]
Israel and Egypt maintain a blockade of the Gaza Strip, although Israel allows in limited quantities of medical humanitarian aid. The Red Cross claimed that the blockade harms the economy and causes a shortage of basic medicines and equipment such as painkillers and x-ray film.[60]
Israel claims the blockade is necessary to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza. For example, in 2014, a Panamanian-flagged ship claiming to be carrying construction materials was boarded by the IDF and was found to contain Syrian produced rockets.[61] Israel maintains that the blockade is legal and necessary to limit Palestinian rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip on its cities and to prevent Hamas from obtaining other weapons.[62][63][64][65][66][67]
Director of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) Yuval Diskin did not oppose easing trade restrictions, but said that smuggling tunnels in Sinai and an open seaport in the Gaza Strip endangered Israel's security. According to Diskin, Hamas and Islamic Jihad had smuggled in over "5,000 rockets with ranges up to 40 km (25 mi)." Some of the rockets could reach as far as the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area.[68]
Israeli spokesman Mark Regev described Israel's actions as "sanctions," not a blockade, but a Gazan legal consultant for UNRWA called the blockade "an action outside of international law.”[69]
In July 2010, British Prime Minister David Cameron said, "humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp."[70] In response, the spokesman for the Israeli embassy in London said, "The people of Gaza are the prisoners of the terrorist organization Hamas. The situation in Gaza is the direct result of Hamas' rule and priorities."
Tent camp, April 2009, after Cast Lead.
The Arab League accused Israel of waging a financial war.[71] The IDF strictly controlled travel within the area of the crossing points between Israel and the Gaza Strip, and sealed its border with Gaza. U.S. government travel guides warned tourists that the region was dangerous.
Facing mounting international pressure, Egypt and Israel lessened the restrictions starting in June 2010, when the Rafah border crossing from Egypt to Gaza was partially opened by Egypt. Egypt’s foreign ministry said that the crossing would remain open mainly for people, but not for supplies.[72] Israel announced that it would allow the passage of civilian goods but not weapons and items that could be used for dual purposes.[73]
In December 2015, Egypt asked Israel not to allow Turkish aid to get through to the Gaza Strip.[74] Benjamin Netanyahu said that it is impossible to lift the siege on Gaza and that the security of Israel is the primary issue for him. He confirmed "that Israel is the only country that currently sends supplies to the coastal enclave".[75]

He confirmed "that Israel is the only country that currently sends supplies to the coastal enclave".[75]
In January and February 2011, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) assessed measures taken to ease the blockade[76] and concluded that they were helpful but not sufficient to improve the lives of the local inhabitants.[76] UNOCHA called on Israel to reduce restrictions on exports and the import of construction materials, and to lift the general ban on movement between Gaza and the West Bank via Israel.[76] After Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak resigned on 28 May 2011, Egypt permanently opened its border with the Gaza Strip to students, medical patients, and foreign passport holders.[76][77] Following the2013 Egyptian coup d'état, Egypt's military has destroyed most of the 1,200 tunnels which are used for smuggling food, weapons, and other goods to Gaza.[78] After the August 2013 Rabaa Massacre in Egypt, the border crossing was closed 'indefinitely.'[79]
Israel has alternately restricted or allowed goods and people to cross the terrestrial border and handles vicariously the movement of goods into and out of Gaza by air and sea. Israel largely provides for Gaza's water supply, electricity, and communications infrastructure. While the import of food is restricted through the Gaza blockade, the Israeli military destroys agricultural crops by spraying toxic chemicals over the Gazan lands, using aircraft flying over the border zone.[80][81]Also Gaza's agricultural research and development station was destroyed in 2014 and again in January 2016, while import of new equipment is obstructed.[82]
POPULATION OF GAZA IS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE OR ENTER GAZA STRIP, JUST LIKE WARSAW GHETTO 'RESIDENTS' DURING WWII
Because of the Israeli–Egyptian blockade, the population is not free to leave or enter the Gaza Strip. Only in exceptional cases are people allowed to pass through the Erez Crossing or the Rafah Border Crossing.[2][83][84][85] In 2015, a Gazan woman was not allowed to travel through Israel to Jordan on her way to her own wedding. The Israeli authorities found she did not meet the criteria for travel, namely only in exceptional humanitarian cases.[86]
Under the long-term blockade, the Gaza Strip is often described as a "prison-camp or open air prison for its collective denizens." The comparison is done by observers, ranging from Roger Cohen and Lawrence Weschler to NGOs, such as B'tselem, and politicians and diplomats, such as David Cameron, Noam Chomsky, Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan, David Shoebridge and Sir John Holmes[87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94] In 2014 French President Francois Hollande called for the demilitarization of Gaza and a lifting of the blockade, saying "Gaza must neither be an open prison nor a military base."[95]
An anonymous Israeli analyst has called it "Israel's Alcatraz."[96] While Lauren Booth,[97][98]Philip Slater,[99] Giorgio Agamben[100] compare it to a "concentration camp."
ECONOMY OF GAZA STRIP IS IN SHAMBLES, UNEMPLOYMENT IS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF, DESPERATE PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO DO DESPERATE THINGS JUST TO SURVIVE, AND TERRORIST RECRUITERS ARE HAVING A FIELD DAY
One of the primary drivers of terrorism is abject poverty and lack of education plus jobs. Guess what Gaza Strip now has? Huge unemployment and destroyed schools, with no way out. Hmmm, that sounds like a huge incentive for getting terrorist recruits to sign up.

The economy of the Gaza Strip is severely hampered by Egypt and Israel's almost total blockade, the high population density, limited land access, strict internal and external security controls, the effects of Israeli military operations, and restrictions on labor and trade access across the border. Per capita income (PPP) was estimated at US $3,100 in 2009, a position of 164th in the world.[104] 70 percent of the population is below the poverty line according to a 2009 estimate.[104]Gaza Strip industries are generally small family businesses that produce textiles, soap, olive-wood carvings, and mother-of-pearl souvenirs.
The main agricultural products are olives, citrus, vegetables, Halal beef, and dairy products. Primary exports are citrus and cut flowers, while primary imports are food, consumer goods, and construction materials. The main trade partners of the Gaza Strip are Israel and Egypt.[104]
The EU described the Gaza economy as follows: "Since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007 and following the closure imposed by Israel, the situation in the Strip has been one of chronic need, de-development and donor dependency, despite a temporary relaxation on restrictions in movement of people and goods after the Gaza flotilla raid in 2010. The closure has effectively cut off access for exports to traditional markets in Israel, transfers to the West Bank and has severely restricted imports. Exports are now down to 2% of 2007 levels."[105]
According to Sara Roy, one senior IDF officer told an UNWRA official in 2015 that Israel's policy towards the Gaza Strip consisted of: "No development, no prosperity, no humanitarian crisis.”[106]
In 2014, the EU's opinion was: "Today, Gaza is facing a dangerous and pressing humanitarian and economic situation with power outages across Gaza for up to 16 hours a day and, as a consequence, the closure of sewage pumping operations, reduced access to clean water; a reduction in medical supplies and equipment; the cessation of imports of construction materials; rising unemployment, rising prices and increased food insecurity. If left unaddressed, the situation could have serious consequences for stability in Gaza, for security more widely in the region as well as for the peace process itself."[105]
In 2010 approximately 1.6 million Palestinians lived in the Gaza Strip,[104] almost 1.0 million of them UN-registered refugees.[130] The majority of the Palestinians descend from refugees who were driven from or left their homes during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The Strip's population has continued to increase since that time, one of the main reasons being a total fertility rate of 4.24 children per woman (2014 est).
In a ranking by total fertility rate, this places Gaza 34th of 224 regions.[104] According to the UN, unless remedial steps are taken to repair the basic infrastructure by 2020, with a further demographic increase of 500,000 and intensified housing problems, the Gaza Strip will become effectively uninhabitable.[131] Sunni Muslims make up the predominant part of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
Most of the inhabitants are Sunni Muslims, with an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 Arab Christians,[132]making the region 99.8 percent Sunni Muslim and 0.2 percent Christian.[104]
A study carried out by Johns Hopkins University (U.S.) and Al-Quds University (in Abu Dis) for CARE International in late 2002 revealed very high levels of dietary deficiency among the Palestinian population. The study found that 17.5% of children aged 6–59 months suffered from chronic malnutrition. 53% of women of reproductive age and 44% of children were found to be anemic. Insecurity in obtaining sufficient food as of 2016 affects roughly 70% of Gaza households, as the number of people requiring assistance from UN agencies has risen from 72,000 in 2000, to 800,000 in 2014[152]
After the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip health conditions in Gaza Strip faced new challenges. World Health Organization (WHO) expressed its concerns about the consequences of the Palestinian internal political fragmentation; the socioeconomic decline; military actions; and the physical, psychological and economic isolation on the health of the population in Gaza.[153]
In a 2012 study of the occupied territories, the WHO reported that roughly 50% of the young children and infants under two years old and 39.1% of pregnant women receiving antenatal services care in Gaza suffer from iron-deficiency anemia. The organization also observed chronic malnutrition in children under five "is not improving and may be deteriorating."[154]
Dr. Mohammed Abu Shaban, director of the Blood Tumors Department in Al-Rantisy Hospital in Gaza witnessed an increase in blood cancer. In March 2010 the department had seen 55 cases that year, compared to 20 to 25 cases normally seen in an entire year.[155] According to the United Nations Development Programme, the average life expectancy in the Gaza Strip is 72.[156][157]
The Port of Gaza has been an important and active port since antiquity. Despite plans under the Oslo Peace Accords to expand the port, it has been under a blockade since Hamas was elected as a majority party in the 2006 elections. Both the Israeli Navy and Egypt enforce the blockade, which continues currently and has limited many aspects of life in Gaza, especially, according to Human Rights Watch, the movement of people and commerce, with exports being most affected. The improvement and rebuilding of infrastructure is also negatively impacted by these sanctions.[167] Plans to expand the port were halted after the outbreak of the al-Aqsa Intifada.
INTERVIEW WITH JEWISH LEADER HENRY SIEGMAN
Full transcript of his interview is at;
http://www.democracynow.org/2014/7/31/us_jewish_leader_henry_siegman_to
U.S. Jewish Leader Henry Siegman, former head of the American Jewish Congress and the Synogogue Council Of America. He was born in Germany in 1930, he fled the Nazis as they came to power and arrived in the US in 1942. His father was a leader in European Zionism, who pushed for the creation of the Jewish State. Henry is an ordained Jewish Rabbi, and now serves as the head of the US Middle East Project.
Democracy now talks with Henry Siegman about what is going on in the Middle East as he lays out the roots of the ongoing crisis, what is causing it, and the solutions that are possible at this point. He also points at how the US is a very big player in the conflict, and not in a good way.

A Zionist Israel has implemented a tactic of dividing and conquering the Middle East, with the help of the extreme right wing politicians and the huge military industrial complex in the US and whatever other allies it can get, such as Egypt. The reason Syria has been attacked is because it must be weakened, in order to help Israel and divert attention away from the Israel state of Apartheid. Profits flow to all involved in war and fear mongering, just the same way that profits flowed to all those who supported Hitler in his build up to WWII.
President Obama announced a foreign policy of 'regime change' inside of Syria, and other nations in the Middle East, against international law. He did not get Congressional permission to declare war on Syria or other nations. The US has created 13 million refugees due to it's illegal bombing of Syria just in this country alone, but refuses to take in more than a handful, because they might be terrorists.

SIXTH TIME THAT A UN SHELTER HAS BEEN BOMBED SINCE GAZA OFFENSIVE BEGAN IN 2014
It was the sixth time a U.N. shelter had been bombed since the Israeli offensive in Gaza began 24 days ago. (2014) The United Nations said it had given the coordinates of the shelter to the Israeli military 17 times prior to the attack. According to the United Nations, more than 240,000 Palestinians are now staying in U.N. shelters in Gaza.

The roots of the current conflict go back to to warmongering and profiteering back in WWI. War is very profitable. After WWI, those same profiteers wanted another war, so they financed someone who could give them their ill gotten very dark profits. WWII was financed by US corporations and US banks, who bankrolled Hitler. He could not have built up his huge war machine without extreme right wing Zionist supporters.
Once the profits were made and a target was chosen for genocide, (all Zionists choose a target to attack and commit genocide against globally, where ever they are found and allowed to grow), the rest is as they say, history. Hitler first implemented Apartheid in Germany, and then attacked all his neighbors, with a goal of global conquest. Along the way, genocide was implemented against the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, and anyone else who was not 'pure' or who resisted the 'Master Race' of German Zionists.
Once WWII ended, there was a question of what to do with the 'refugee' Jewish people left homeless by the war. A forced solution was the easiest and quickest 'solution' and the British were a colonial global 'power' or empire, so they could enforce this decision. Jewish Zionists were the only group extreme enough to make this 'forced colonization' decision stick and to force Palestinians to give up their land via violence and force. Everything rolled downhill from this forced point of entry.

AN EXTREME RIGHT WING ZIONIST GOVERNMENT IN ISRAEL IS NOW DIVIDING AND CONQUERING THE MIDDLE EAST, WITH THE HELP OF IT'S 'ALLIES'
A Zionist Israel has implemented a tactic of dividing and conquering the Middle East, with the help of the extreme right wing politicians and the huge military industrial complex in the US and whatever other allies it can get, such as Egypt. The reason Syria has been attacked is because it must be weakened, in order to help Israel and divert attention away from the Israel state of Apartheid. Profits flow to all involved in war and fear mongering, just the same way that profits flowed to all those who supported Hitler in his build up to WWII.
President Obama announced a foreign policy of 'regime change' inside of Syria, and other nations in the Middle East, against international law. He did not get Congressional permission to declare war on Syria or other nations. The US has created 13 million refugees due to it's illegal bombing of Syria just in this country alone, but refuses to take in more than a handful, because they might be terrorists.

THE US IS SUPPORTING ZIONISM IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND TRYING TO FORCE ZIONISM INTO ALL SURROUNDING COUNTRIES, VIA MILITARY CONQUEST, TAKEOVER AND ILLEGAL INVASIONS
Bottom line, the US is currently putting up the biggest road block to peace in the Middle East. Instead of creating an environment that creates a peace agreement and allows all of the different peoples and religions to live together inside of Israel, the US props up the 'special' military right wing extremist group of Zionists inside of Israel that commit apartheid both within Gaza and overall, inside of Israel against all of the Palestinians. The US also supports Zionism in any other country, such as Saudi Arabia and Ukraine, because it is good for huge corporations and war profiteers. There is a reason why the US is the biggest arms dealer in the world.
By no means are all Israelis supporting Apartheid Zionist policy, but the global 1 percent and the US foreign policy is supporting this Apartheid because there are lots of profits inside of maintaining this militaristic top down, extremist structure and then expanding it globally. The massive US foreign aid dollars that serve to prop up this position financially, also serves to increase the influence of the US military industrial complex, plus increasing the stranglehold of Zionism globally instead of decreasing it.

The US is condoning and supporting Apartheid, by doing nothing about human rights violating, immoral, unethical actions being taken by the Jewish Zionist part of the Israeli state that is acting against the Palestinians and the Gaza strip residents by labeling anyone who resists the taking of their lands, which is really ironic, because the state of Israel was originally established by Zionist Jewish terrorists killing, bombing and committing violent acts against the Palestinians.
The chances of meaningful peace grow dimmer each year that the US supports Israel unconditionally, while arming it to the teeth, vetoing all UN resolutions against it, and giving active support to a state of Apartheid (or worse) inside the state of Israel and Gaza strip.
1,000 US Foreign Military Bases In Foreign Countries - 2 Trillion Dollars And Rising Cost, What Are They For, Now That The Cold War Is Over?
http://www.agreenroadjournal.com/2016/04/1000-us-foreign-military-bases-in.html
US AND ISRAEL BOTH CONDONE AND SUPPORT THE WORST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS WHICH THEN CREATE MANY MORE TERRORISTS
The dismal prison camp conditions inside of Israel for Palestinians and for the people of Gaza create the conditions for breeding terrorists and extremists, which is what everyone is afraid of. Yet, instead of creating the conditions for preventing terrorism from breeding and spreading, Israel and the US are doing exactly the opposite. The US is ignoring the many millions of refugees it has created through it's foreign policy, which create the foundation of growing many more terrorists and groups globally. Who benefits from growing the numbers of terrorists around the world, other than Zionists and the huge corporations that profit from war and violence?
Of course, breeding and creating more terrorists is good and very profitable for the military industrial complex, which thrives on chaos, terrorists and non stop war. The American military empire must be spread around the world, in order to generate more and more profits for the military industrial complex (MIC).
So far, MIC is exceeding their wildest PROFIT expectations, because their entitlement corporate welfare warmongering funding has been increased so much, that the US is now spending more than all other civilized nations together, despite the Cold War being over and despite there being no formal declared war on any nation by the US.

PALESTINIAN MINORS BEING HELD IN ISRAELI JAILS ARE BEING TORTURED
COMMITTEE: ‘OVERWHELMING MAJORITY’ OF PALESTINIAN MINORS IN ISRAELI CUSTODY ARE ‘TORTURED’OCTOBER 21, 2016 A GREEN ROAD DAILY NEWS
The “overwhelming majority” of Palestinian minors held in Israel’s Megiddo and Ofer prisons have been tortured during their detention and interrogation, the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs said Tuesday, amid a marked increase in the incarceration and mistreatment of Palestinian children by Israel.
Lawyer for the committee Luay Ukka said in a statement that, after a visit to Ofer prison, he had noticed that the number of juvenile prisoners there had noticeably increased over the past month.As of mid-October, he said, the number of Palestinian prisoners in Ofer under 18 years old reached 28, 14 of whom were under 14 years old.
According to rights group Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP), Israel has also dramatically increased the use of administrative detention — internment without charge or trial — against minors.

Treating all Palestinians and Gaza residents as criminals, torturing children in prison, and keeping a whole class of people in 'isolation cells' and/or Warsaw Ghettos is not going to work to solve the problems that Israel is facing. What is the 'end game', and where is all of this going, with everyone on all sides continuing to toss around DU dust like pixie dust, buying more military weapons, throwing more people into prison, building newer more 'efficient' atomic bombs and creating ever more lethal WMD?

MANY PRO TRUMP RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA FAKE NEWS SITES ORIGINATE FROM BANGLADESH AND MACEDONIA
"Of the admins, there is very little information available. They are both openly not American or pretending not to be and the accounts are locked down tight. It is possible that they could be some of those teens getting rich on pro-Trump propaganda from foreign countries. Only “Sara Ruggiero” seems to be “real” and she is in no way liberal. In fact, she appears to be one of the earliest added and claims to be directly associated with the fake news site Usanews-24, but hers shows as the New Zealand based dot tk, not dot com. New Zealand has been dealing with a lot of fake news coming from there, much like Macedonia who are known for Russian propaganda."
SUMMARY
Many religions and faiths were birthed in the area that was declared a homeland for Israel. Many and varied religions and political groups have historical 'ownership' claims in this region.
Many religions have to co exist in Israel, as it would not work for just one particular faith to claim it all and then throw all other religions out, correct? Ideally, this same historical sharing of the same region by many faiths would also form the basis for a peace agreement.
What about sharing this very diverse religious 'homeland' with people of many faiths, not just one, via an international UN mandated 'declaration'?
WHAT YOU CAN DO; STAY IN LOVE AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR ENEMIES, WHILE LISTENING TO THEM
Brandon Weber Daryl Davis was once an aspiring and successful musician. He had played with Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Muddy Waters. However, his true claim to fame, the legacy he has forged came in a very different way.
He went out of his way to befriend KKK Grand wizard, Roger Kelly. He spent years building trust between them and laying the foundation of what became a friendship. They broke bread at each other’s tables. They welcomed each other into their homes.
Davis even went as far attending Klan rallies as a guest of Kelly. Most importantly, Davis cultivated an atmosphere of listening. He didn’t hate Kelly because Kelly hated him. Instead he listened to Roger Kelly. And eventually, Kelly started listening to him.
This lead to the two realizing they had far more in common than not. In the end, Kelly denounced his ties to the KKK. So much so, he handed his hood and robe to Daryl Davis. In total, Davis has seen over 200 klan members walk away from the KKK and hand over their robes and hoods to Daryl. Daryl Davis is a world changer. Replacing hate with love. Because love conquers hate... every time"
