Everyone tries to mess me up by putting the letter h wherever they want.
I know a guy named Antenhe and trying to remember where to put the h in his name drives me nuts. |

I just saw the whole video and now sympathize more with the Palestinians. Before I was neutral about the whole situation, but after having seen the manipulation that was right under my nose it's safe to say that when it comes to covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict I will have to turn to non-U.S. media coverage.
The documentary itself explains a lot of things I never knew about. For example, it explains how the U.S. had plenty of opportunities to sign a bunch of U.N. peace resolutions that would have ended the conflict altogether, but vetoed them instead in order to keep economic interests alive between Israel, particularly oil interests. I believe the documenatary calls it veto power. How selfish of us.
Another important aspect and the main topic of the video is how much spin is put on the news media and the amount of time spent by corporations to cater to their global affairs by pressuring journalists to deliver Pro-Israel stories only. Even Isreal themselves have a public relations group called the "Hasbara Project established in 1983 aimed to ensure good press in the U.S. media." It's amazing to see how corporate the situation has gotten.
All in all, that documentary was quite an eye opener for me and a learning experience. Thanks for a great share ogvh5150! |

I wouldn't expect everyone to know EVERYTHING happening in the world, but my friend was telling me about the new paris hilton CD and i was like "huh?" and i started talking about Lebanon and he asked me how it tasted.
Nah, but ya, the news is pretty morbid. That $35 billion contribution to charity barely made any news. i actually found out about it on a torrent site. |

If you found a thwack of 'experts' who were ignorant of Gandhi and told them that he had failed would they be more apt to write a paper that starts with "Given my astute understanding of the human condition I am perplexed as to how Gandhi could have failed..." or "Of course Gandhi failed..."
99.99% would write the second because cultural and biological explanations for behaviour limit understanding rather than broaden it. |
I agree. That's why I was careful not to say that empty negotions have no value whatsoever, but instead indicated that weapons change governments much louder and much faster than peace talks do.
"Peace" (passive, stagnant inaction) is a slow, entropic process, subject to the most convoluted of bureaucracy - armistice, cease-fires, trade embargoes - mostly crippling enactments meant to disarm a nation and/or its people's by economic despair which leads to famine and, subsequently, more war.
Non-violent opposition is probably the slowest human convention I can think of - it takes generations just to attain any sort of acknowledgement, if any, albeit this acknowledgement is obeyed , in my opinion, as one of the most noble concepts there are. |
