Occupation of the American Mind
Please watch and than comment..
https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/sp ... 30451.html
What with the new attacks in Gaza, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/ ... kets-fired
this is as relevant now as when it was first broadcasted.
I am NOT Anti-Semitic
BUT
I am pro Palestine.
Up until my first trip to the middle east in 1975, i was pro Jewish, than i crossed from Jordan across the King Hussein bridge.
Traveling on a US passport with a Jewish last name it took over 10 hours to enter Israel.
I was strip searched an all my clothes, goods were Xray'd, I had all my toothpaste, soap cut in half, had all my prescriptions meds taken from me, ( was heading to India) an was told I could buy in Israel.
After 4 hours i told them i no longer wanted to travel to Israel an wanted to return to Jordan but as i no longer had a visa...
Never felt safe while i was in Jerusalem, ( which by the way is one of my top cities to visit) and Tel Aviv
I met some Palestinians that had been trying to get into Israel at immigration for over 36 hours!
The media certainly is one sided in this issue

Re: Occupation of the American Mind
Those that control Israel certainly haven't made a lot of friends over the years and karma's a real bitch when she comes back to bite you when you least expect it.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I don't trust the PM of Israel Netanyahu, see how he comb his hair. Mark my words, he hide something
There are people who cannot imagine that there are other ways of life than their own life.

Re: Occupation of the American Mind
Oh dear, time to stir the pot
Even though this video is 5 years old, sounds like same situation, different time. The more things change, the more they remain the same...
Don't forget to watch it on you-tube so you can see the comments...

Re: Occupation of the American Mind
I liked the ending of the video that Phuket posted. Nice to see young people getting away from mainstream media - those that keep a saturation diet of msm have no clue about what is going on.

Re: Occupation of the American Mind
look at the amount of money Israel donates to the US political machines and also the number of lobbyists that Israel employees.
Of course we see ONLY the view point of Israel
I love the reason that the Jewish people feel Israel is theirs ,cause it says so in the bible, EVEN thou the Palestinians were living there for thousands of years
now they occupy, UNDER military rule,less than 20% of what was their country
