The drums are a bit quiet at the moment

Sergio Arellano of Phoenix, Ariz., said he had a story he liked to tell about the moment he registered as a Republican. When he was an 18-year-old Army infantryman on home leave, he went to a July 4 event and spotted the voter registration table. He asked the woman sitting there: What’s the difference between Republicans and Democrats?
Democrats, he recalled her saying, are for the poor. Republicans are for the rich.
“Well that made it easy — I didn’t want to be poor, I wanted to be rich, so I chose Republican,” Mr. Arellano said. “Obviously she figured I would identify with the poor. There’s an assumption that you’re starting out in this country, you don’t have any money, you will identify with the poor. But what I wanted was to make my own money.”
It's the "national guilt" syndrome. Same in most European countries (e.g. NL, Magyar) except Eire (no WWII, it was officially The Emergency (no kidding)).I sadly don't think it's only the US who is getting their pockets filled by the israelis, last week in Denmark we had a protest which was actually violently removed by our police, this only happens once in a blue moon when the police/government has been manhandled on the protesting matter. It seems to me the danish government is also accepting the israel-palestinian violence.
Also nice post on linkedin cuchulainn
I agree; but the ploy is they will call you (generic) an anti-Semite and draw on history. Some (right wing) ex-Wilmotters used this trick.Yeah, but just like your point. It doesn’t really justify, apartheid state with a guilt trip excuse
Indeed! My memory banks are still with me and my "official" remark came from LTM on TV about HRW.That's rough, I don't have as much personal history with this. I simply see it as immoral and I react.
Seems we ended up having the same idea on simply googling "apartheid" and "israel". Ending up with a very useful source and article
