If Americans Knew - what every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine

"The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s major sources of instability. Americans are directly connected to this conflict, and increasingly imperiled by its devastation. It is the goal of If Americans Knew to provide full and accurate information on this critical issue, and on our power – and duty – to bring a resolution."

Nice site.

Unfortunately, americans don't know.

There seems to be an effort to conflate "anti-israeli" with "anti-semitic". The latter is a stupid term anyways because the Palistinians are a semetic people whereas the israelis are mostly eastern European. I wish I had been boss back then. I'd have straightened the whole thing out. I'd of told the israelis that they couldn't have their silly "holy land" because some vile piece of historical garbage said it belongs to them and I'd have let them take up Madagascars offer to voluntarily give them enough land for their own country after the holocaust. Then they and the Palistinians could have had their own country. End of story.

As it stands now, it's only a matter of waiting until israel cooks up an excuse to complete the genocide they've been waging for 50 years or so.

I don't agree with everything Ron Paul says but just wanted to post because it deals with the topic.

I do know, and I do not support Israeli support from MY country whatsoever. It's our politicians and media that seem to craft people into thinking Israel is our "greatest asset" in the Middle East (which is NONE of our freaking business in the first place other than our lust for oil and power).

It's too bad, because Ron Paul is the only candidate that actually MAKES SENSE, yet he's the only candidate who doesn't stand a chance. I'm still voting for him, either way.

He doesn't stand a chance because he is working in a system that is naturally stacked against him.

I'm glad Gov. Gary Johnson is considering running. Even if he doesn't get anywhere, he has a similar stance on things to Ron Paul, and can help show that there are multiple candidates in the field who do still care about liberty.

Take Ron Paul for what he is. He is an educator. He isn't going to be president. That's why I'm not contributing a cent to his campaign this year. I gave more then 500 bucks to him in 08. It was all a waste (monetary wise). He is starting to push people in the direction of liberty, now they just have to realize that the state is the negation of liberty. That's how I became an anarchist.
