Good one Jan, probably the Octopi after they evolve sufficiently to look back on our water world.

Amen, boycotting goes a long way to reaching some goals. And truly we as humans must write our own story and not allow the elites to make history. We all are a book waiting to be written.

aint it wierd how the native americans have suffered an actual genoicide making the opportunities for first hand accounts of events rare, yet they have offered so much detailed information on what happened.
while the palestinians have literaly only grown in population, yet so few books,memiors,movies,anything.hmmm.

you would think it would be the other way around huh?with less than a million tribal native americans less their would be very little in the way of first hand experiences to hear about, and with the palestinians being 7 million nonassimilated their would be a ton of material.

yet not so much.but hey, ignore the man behind the curtain and it will all make sense and be right as rain.im sure it is just a coincidence that 99% percent of material on this matter from the palestinians side happen to be people who have a specific bone with israel or jews.pure coincidence.im sure when it comes to telling the tale of the palestinians they magicaly become objective

Indeed, they are writing it, but the Western media censors it or labels it as terrorist. Labeling something "terrorist" in today's media is the quickest way to marginalize an entire nation of people.

Labels are powerful tools in disinformation and they have been developed to a sharp edge ...

maybe because not all Jewish folks agree with the atrocities perpetrated by their government....you know, like not all Americans agree with what our pompous, controlling, lying, stealing, cheating, murderous leaders do?

I had that one comming. I painted everybody with the same tar brush.

israel is my government now?

Israel seems to rule america through AIPAC.

sure does, which would explain why it is we are always sending our troops to fight in wars to defend israel, rather than her standing alone.oops nope that would be the suadi kingdom through opec that has us sacrificing generations of our children in thier wars.

was it the israel lobby that is feeding us amonia washed beef like product?nope that was the beef lobby feeding us inedible foods mixed amongst actual foods.

could israel overcome killing millions upon millions of us for profit?it seems killing just one like rachel corrie is such a huge deal to some, and one liberty attack is obsessed over, and jonathan pollard ect, which wouldnt be the case if aipac were the tobacco lobby.who have killed more today,than israel has ever.

but yeah, its israel who is using lobbying power to manipulate the democratic process all right.giving us cancer for profit, feeding us ass meat and mad cow, and sending our kids off to die to keep the price of oil steady.yup that is aipac all right, not tobacco,oil,and beef.

tell me, which do you see at your gas station?israeli created electric energy making bank?or the corn lobby at work?

Amen, I feel solidarity with those who struggle against oppression and the terror waged by war, among other causes.

Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google was just saying that the interent was becoming closed due to corporate control of its access and information flow.
He said with the current restrictions in place Google couldn't be started.
He noted that US government control of the internet under SOPA is no different than the systems of control of the internet in Iran, or in the one Google encountered in its struggles in China to provide the uncensored free flow of information.

The structure of the internet helps tremendously but it is still (and now more than ever) subject to manipulation, information mining, and delimiting control by government and corporate interests.

It is always a struggle to get the truth out but that is our responsiblity; each and every one of us.

if solidarity means we are responsible to all of humanity, why boycott the free state, and side with those subject to tyrany?
might as well boycott american goods and purchase only things made by afghanis under taliban rule?if their were such a thing.

what would serve humanity better?
all of us being governed by a democratic society complete with socialized medicine?or the society that refuses concepts such as human rights,freedom while demanding the destruction of others?

This story is the mainstream one that keeps getting repeated and repeated so that many people believe it to be the "only" story. Its a tired story already, we need to hear other voices.

we need to hear not other voices, but accurate voices.
next generation idiots spouting the same talking points does nothing for anyone.
we need to hear the voices that are presently being drowned out.
we need the palestinians to be availed of free speech.allowed to have complete internet access.

most inportantly it is up to us.
if we have the responsibility as human beings for one another, which we certainly do.then we have to finally begin to notice what is hate speech, and political bullshit in this issue so we can choose to ignore it for the garbage it is.rather than making that the story at hand.

but that is boring, and doesnt feed the emotional need to place blame.and that keeps the cycle going.

one side telling ya how much islam makes them murderers, the other telling you how israel is committing what ever buzzword is chosen for the day.aparthied,ethnic cleansing,genocide, when they arent doing any of that.all hyperbolic crap, that is us dancing to the beat of the bigots.

as long as we keep accepting this game, it will continue.
