| iberz said: there is one main issue US politics that sadly has never changed in 60 years, one thing even Mr. Change himself BH Obama isn't willing to do and that's stop being so pro-israel. it's an problem that despite the release of movie's like occupation 101 has still not been solved. israel is still opressing palestinians, the US is still giving israel $10 billion each year, the fatah dictatorship is still in power rather than the democratically elected hamas government. like i said before, not one candidate for US presedential election nominations has the balls to stand up for what's right, tell AIPAC to f**k off and stop being biased against the most opressed people in the world. well i guess my dream that my people may be helped by any western power is not ever going to be anything but a dream. |
QFT.
That's why in 2000 I voted for Nader. unfortunately AIPAC controls US politicians and therefore a pro-peace candidate will never emerge. They all must parrot the 'we love Isreal more' crap.
BTW, my wife is also of Palestinian heritage. Her father's family fled to Jordan and then eventually the US during the 1967 war when he was a teenager. They are from Deir Debwan (sp?), just south of Rahmallah.
