It is human nature to want something for nothing, and also to be greedy.
I do not and can not blame the people of Israel for wanting homes and land for free. The question is though - if I could kick the farmer next to me out of his house and take his land for free - would I? I do not think I would, though I am not in a position where I CAN.
I can though blame government for making this possible in the first place, and to that end I am not blaming anyone else's government, I am blaming MY OWN government, freedom of speech still exists & I intend to exorcise that right, while I still can.
(Before we take a look at the nature of the beast, we first have to understand it's complexities, and why it acts like it does.)
The Balfour declaration!
Palestine was and is, strategically located for trade in the middle east & to understand the nature of what happened there, I would recommend reading this
- Arthur Balfour of Jewish descent - wrote to the Rothschild’s asking for Israel to be born for Jews, here is a link the year was 1917.
Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you on behalf of His Majesty’s government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved, by the Cabinet:
His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours,
Arthur James Balfour
Does modern day Israel represent the words in the letter above in any way shape or form? I think not!.
Zionism!
The term Zionism in itself sets the Jewish government of Israel apart from any and all traditional Jews of Orthodox faith, to understand Zionism you have to go back to the likes of Ahad Ha'am & Theodor Herzl here
Now after reading this article we have the basis of fact, and upon fact I will now write articles about the last 100 years, and how this has developed into a situation that is out of control, not only in Israel, more over the whole world, governments no longer serve the people, they self serve for themselves & for their cronies.
The United Kingdom.
The government of the UK, my own country, had no right to implement this plan, furthermore they had no right to kill and maim the Palestinians to make way for this place. The atrocities that occurred under the hands of British forces in Palestine are extremely well documented.
You may read Balfour's shadow to find a list of these atrocities, it sits nicely on my shelf.

Lets also look at another historical article here http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/Britain-s-concentration-camp-in-Palestine_printer.shtml
Before anyone screams anti-Semitic, you may note all of the above is aimed squarely at the feet of my own government, I have no hatred for Jewish normal people, I detest Zionists though, and that is my right, I equally disrespect government in all forms, they earned my contempt along 50 years of my own life.
I can in fact call the prime minister of Israel any name I want, like retard or what ever I choose, and he can not even call me anti Semitic, as he has more in common with me, than he does with Israel - he was born and raised in Poland Benjamin Netanyahu.
Peace!
Everyone in the world, in the west at least, is being told to be tolerant, to allow people in minorities to flourish - to in fact have less rights in some countries, so minorities have more rights than the native citizens, yet all I see in Israel is intolerance and hatred. It is up to US as parents to teach kindness and not breed hatred, as no child is born a racist, that is instilled in them by people.
"Israel commits war crimes in the form of collective punishment, disproportionate force, targeting of civilians, and other violations of the Geneva Conventions and international law. Despite these repeated war crimes and other human rights violations, the United States government continues to give Israel economic, military, and diplomatic support in violation of its own laws."
The above quote comes directly from here
Yemen is another country under siege, that nobody seems to care about also, In Iraq over 1 million innocent people died, it is time to bring governments to account for the crimes they have and are committing, and this takes the effort of all of us
I see protests by Antifa, by black lives matter, by the left, by the right, where are the protests for the people being slaughtered in the middle east I ask? does anyone even care? the trending pages on here are like a glorified facebook, all trendy and nice photos, how about some trending GET REAL?
Let us not lose the appeal of steemit by not caring, by not giving a shit, the "I am alright jack" crowd certainly are alright, they know how to game the system, don't be like them,be like you.
Have a great week, drops mic.......out!
