Moral question of our time

 A moral question of our time.

Here we are. In the middle of the moral question of our time. The israel question and the answers weve been given provide the thoughtful fodder of every question about power and how it is used throughout the world.

Any historian can apply how israel was created, maintained, supported, even in the face of in-your-face generational conflict, freedom fights, reaction.

Anti-semitism has been around for a long time.

First of all, there is an impression that there is peace and these wars, conflicts, are anomalies. There is not Peace, then no peace. If war is defined as not only the military conflict that takes place on battlefields everywhere, but we have to add to that definition the preparation for war is certainly an element in making war. When war is, looked at in its fullest historical sense, there is a moment when war always reflects the economies, culture, and most certainly, the politics of any nation.

Peace is called when there seems to be a lull in making war but those lulls are still fully engaged historical moments when weapons transfers, productions, and distributions continue to take place behind the white noise of "normalcy". Not to mention that economies continue to run on those investments, collaborations, and productions of the entire war machinery.

Peace in the historical history of war has merely held a position of historical moment when treaties, agreements, between warring parties have been established but not adhered to.

Rebellion is not a war crime.

Was the little big horn a war crime?

Is settler resistance a war crime?

Is any resistance to apartheid, slavery, nation state sponsored atrocity, war crimes?

Was hiroshima, wounded knee, shermans march to the sea, the murder of black panthers, murder of george floyd, are they war crimes?

Is the acknowledged apartheid and denial of palestinian rights in Israel ever since its inception a war crime?

Or is war always defined by the most powerful or is genocide in the eye of the beholder?

If seventy years ago the western nations gave israel a homeland despite the zionist revolution of displacing indigenous non - jewish population and the future of this is whats happening today, what more evidence do we need to not trust what they'll do today to be resolved even seventy years from now.

Don't Obey, Resist

  Don't Obey   It’s the people who obey the orders who scare me Not the ones who give them, those you can ignore. It’s the obedient, whose conscience is devoid of reasoning. For when consent is based on authority alone Freedom and true democracy cannot reign, REAL Democracy is merely giving temporary consent, each time, Not relegating power, forever

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis
