Middle East Conflict

[Postman Pep]

So….
Anyone look at the Noam Chomsky video yet?
Anyone, Anyone?

No?
Fair enough.

Not yet but I recently picked up his book Fateful Triangle : The United States Israel and the Palestinians...... for the first time in 20 years or so.
Similar to what you said about the video, it takes patience and time to read it, but worth the effort. Would recommend.

If anybody would like to know more in general around why certain things happen i would highly recommend a book I am reading at the moment by the conservative journalist Peter Oborne, its called "The fate of Abraham" and it investigates the influence of factions like the American Christian evangelists on the Israeli Palestinian conflict plus more about why the west has a fear of Muslims. It is a real eyeopener and not something I expected from a journalist who wrote for the right wing Spectator magazine when that fat lying **** Johnson was editor.

Trust me, it is a fascinating, if a little scary read.

Chomsky names the American Christian Evangelists too.
That was new information to me and explains quite a bit about the current GOP fundamentalists.
You would think it’s the Jewish lobby that back Israel in America, but they are one of the big backers of Israel due to their belief in the end of days. They believe Israel will be obliterated.
Mind boggling stuff, but food for thought when you consider what is trying to govern policy in America.

Which seat are you standing for for the Conservatives next year?

They actually believe the second coming of Christ is imminent and as a result Israel must stay as the holy land because the anti-christ is about to take over the world and the battle of Armagaddon will be in the Holy Lands.

Its fucking nuts mate. But shows the power they have.

At least watch the video before you come out with this shit.

Probably not the thread for this Rascal unless you can relate whoever is running Britain to the support of Israel, but if the guy in the video is correct and I assume this is your belief, then what next for Britain.
What is the answer?
Is it worth voting at all?

They back Israel because they believe the Jews will be obliterated.
This is where we are in the world.
They are backing conflict.

"The war state is a bipartisan issue." That sounds awfully like the critique of the Republicans and Democrats and the U.S. in its never ending wars. I recall reading the claim that the USA has been at war with someone, somewhere, 225 out of 240 years. Wish I could remember the source.
