I do not believe how bad this abuse of the Palestinians really is. The so-called Civilized World and that includes the United Nation's stands by idle while Israel heaps military assaults upon a defenseless people. We can no longer claim to be a national community that is civilized. We are Savages as we fail to protect the Palestinians. Meanwhile the so-called Land of the Free threatens to protect Israel while it is murdering Palestinians. This is insane. We have crossed the line and have entered territory in 1984 Literature

During the British colonization of Kenya, the rebels were labeled terrorists, savages, baby killers. They did conduct raids in which even children were killed against the British and their allies. The language was meant to erase distinctions between combatant and non-combatant and allowed the British to inflict terrible collective punishment. Same with the Algerians fighting France and its settlers. The ANC as well, to some extent. Hamas isn't ISIS or AQ. They don't live and die and kill for the thrill of it or in hope of a messianic vision. From Gaza's rooftops they can see the lands their parents and grandparents were marched at gunpoint out of, now populated by citizens of a state that has imprisoned them in an open-air concentration camp where hopw does not exist. Their political "rivals" are a comprador government which cracks Palestinian heads open if they dare protest against apartheid and occupation, and disarmed them so they can't defend their land or honor. They're a classic people's militia with a Jihadist rather than a Maoist spin, and their martrydom is as "irrational" as that of the Vietcong.

However, they now realize the influence of constituents and the power of the vote, as they risk losing their seats. They must decide between serving AIPAC and Israel or serving Americans and America. They must cease squandering our taxpayers' money and prioritize America over Israel.

He spends the final 3 minutes of the video discussing how incredibly absurdly tight the israeli intelligence, defense industry and lobby are with d.c. politicians. I think he has some points that are strong, primarily that the lobby could be crushed if so desired. thanks for posting.
