some thoughts on day 1

[David Morris]

Thank you "no fun" for your very clear correction to the statement below.

"If you support the US's actions in the mideast, consider
yesterday's events the price of those actions."

>"no fun" in response to the assinine statement above:
>The price paid by the U.S.is the price billed overall to the West for the 
>horrors of WWII. [snip] These were crimes of the SS and Germany as a whole, 
>but responsibility really fell on Europe and North America as a whole. 
>Thus, perhaps in recognition of this, Britain decreed the creation of 
>Israel in the "Balfour Declaration" after the war (47 I think).
>The consequences of this have been dire for all the people who live in the 
>former Palestine.  Nevertheless, from the very start of the state of 
>Israel, the Arab states have sought to wipe out the Jews that had suddenly 
>taken possession of Palestine.  This is exactly what would happen if the US 
>removed its patronage, yet it continues to honor a percieved debt incurred 
>during the second world war.  This debt should also be honored more 
>vehemently by the rest of Europe, but European governments have been effete 
>and venal for a thousand years.  Not chosing sides in the Mid east means 
>the end of Israel and a defaulting on the debt to Jews owed because of the 
>Holocaust.
