Comment: So, we support the Palestinians who oppose Israel’s invasion, occupation, and annexation of land and, at the same time, we don’t support the Ukrainians who oppose invasion, occupation, and annexation of their land. Instead, we support Russia that is performing the invasion, occupation, and annexation of land. This reflects my feelings, as well, and it is a dilemma worth debating, to clear the picture. The sovereignty of Ukrainians should be as important as the sovereignty of the Palestinians and Lebanese, … and Iran. I need some clarification here, and some consistency. What I get from both sides in these conflicts is propaganda. What happened to laws, principles, and moral integrity?
jamisonxmacabre: I don’t support Ukraine because the country is run by anti-democratic zionist demons that refuse to hold an election because they would promptly lose it.
My response: You could as well say, “I don’t support Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran because these countries are run by antisemites, religious fundamentalists and/or terrorists”. But this is not the point here. Regardless of how we see their governments, these nations are subjected to violence, theft, forced displacement. and/or extermination. Please see the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 1 and 2) HERE.
“There is a campaign under way to essentially destroy the public education system along with every aspect of human life and attitudes and thought that involve social solidarity. It’s being done in all sorts of ways. One is simply by underfunding. So, if you can make the public schools really rotten, people will look for an alternative. Any service that’s going to be privatized, the first thing you do is make it malfunction so people can say, “We want to get rid of it. It’s not running. Let’s give it to Lockheed.” — Noam Chomsky, The Progressive Magazine, September 1999, p.37
