New York – I used to be kicked out of New York’s prestigious Collegiate personal faculty many moons in the past for ‘revolutionary and disruptive actions.’
Thank goodness my sensible dad and mom despatched me to the Worldwide College of Geneva, Switzerland the place I thrived.
The underground French fascist group, ‘la Essential Rouge’ repeatedly threatened to kill me for organizing scholar demonstrations towards France’s colonial struggle in Algeria. However I survived.
Being a life-long insurgent and hell-raiser, I’m naturally sympathetic to at the moment’s pro-Palestinian scholar protests that are actually sweeping American and European campuses.
College students could also be poor and too emotional, however they’re usually stuffed with repulsions on the sight of mass killing, political brutality, and murderous hatred reminiscent of we see at the moment within the jail camp of Gaza. They’ve but to be taught the sordid reality about how cash should purchase indulgences from killing civilians and different struggle crimes.
Simply ask Joe Biden, and British PM Rishi Sunak. They’re persevering with to arm and finance Israel’s mass killing and hunger in Gaza for the sake of big money donations as elections loom, and the assist of ardently pro-Israel voters who’re marching to the drum of Israel’s far right-wing authorities. The US and British media have been whitewashing the genocide in Gaza and twisting their reporting to justify mass killing of civilians. The New York Instances has earned opprobrium by ordering its workers to slant the information it misreports. This as soon as nice newspaper has ruined its fame. It reminds of the good Mark Twain’s well-known bon mot, ‘When you don’t learn the information you might be uninformed. When you do, you might be misinformed.’
Let’s be frank. President Joe Biden, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and their pal Egypt’s despot Abdel el-Sisi are instantly liable for the deaths of 14,000 Palestinian youngsters, virtually 35,000 Palestinian civilians significantly wounded, some 2 million Palestinians now homeless, rising hunger and illness throughout Gaza utilized by Israel as a refuse dump for undesirable Arabs. The Biden administration is offering over $14.1 billion in arms to Israel, together with the lethal 2,000lb bombs used to crush whole civilian condo buildings and hospitals, plus tank shells fired at residential targets. All in clear violation of US arms export legal guidelines written by Congress.
Why is Biden the important thing participant in such mass destruction? Why is his UN delegation vetoing resolutions to cease Israeli laying waste to Gaza? It’s election time arising. And since the Democrats get the lion’s share of their funds from pro-Israel sources.
Large cash talks. Human rights stroll. The US Congress, a sorry assortment of used automobile salesmen, has been purchased and bought. What a shame for the USA. The oil Arabs might even have purchased Congress however they have been too busy squabbling with each other.
So, whereas the excessive and mighty averted their gaze to massacres and famine in Gaza, it was left as much as college students across the globe to lift their voice in anger over the crimes there. My alma mater, Georgetown Overseas Service, raised a refrain of protests. So too Columbia College and UCLA, Sciences Po in Paris, actually nearly all over the place besides Germany, whose persons are nonetheless paying Israel for World Struggle II.
Large cash donors, who made billions off our rigged monetary system, try to silence protests over Israel’s wanton cruelty. Israelis are proper to be livid over the killing of an estimated 1,139 Israeli civilians and troopers. However killing tens of hundreds of harmless Arabs was wildly out of proportion and clearly felony.
America, Britain and Canada have disgraced themselves – all for the sake of cash. The Gaza bloodbath has revealed the US to be a deeply corrupt society. College college students at the very least helped save America’s honor. They’re doing the appropriate factor. Alas, they don’t but have a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Younger band to show their protests into electrifying music. In the meantime, Palestinian youngsters proceed to starve or die of illness whereas Israel ruins its identify and paid-for politicians spout lies.
