From Truman to Trump, we have never had an American
president to speak with integrity when calling for peace in the Middle East.
What was it? Eleven
minutes? And Truman was falling all over himself to be the first national
president to “recognize” the new state of Israel. Never mind the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of
thousands of Palestinians who had their homes, freedom and livelihood taken
from them by force. Truman celebrated “peace” in Israel.
Even a child will shout, “It’s not fair,” when forced to
accept tranquility without regard to justice. When Donald Trump casually announced
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, totally ignoring the historic, emotional
and religious claims of Jerusalem as their national capital, even children will
respond, “It’s not fair.”
Not only that. It is not going to work. In spite of what
Trump and Netanyahu wish, Palestinians are not going to just disappear. Even
with the more than three billion dollars a year the U.S. sends to Israel to
enforce the repression of Palestinian rights, international law and human
conscience is caught in a bind facing the unlawful occupation and oppression of
another people.
Let us be honest, at least with ourselves. The United States
has never been an “honest broker” when it comes to Israel. From Truman to
Trump, we have acted more like Israel’s defense attorney while ignoring the
endless building of more and more settlement in the West Bank and Israel’s
repeated bombardment of Gaza, including the destruction of sewage treatment
plants, rendering what little water they have undrinkable.
In the meantime, Israeli snipers are firing live ammunition
into crowds of unarmed demonstrators at the border, having already killed
hundreds and wounded thousands.
What sickens me the most is that from Truman to Trump, every
American president has chosen to ignore this blatant injustice and the American
news media has chosen to look the other way.

As long as the Main Stream Media in the U.S. is Zionist controlled, the American people will NEVER know the truth about what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. The only hope is if more Americans do their OWN Research. Sadly, GMO food, Chemtrails, and Fluoride in the water has made the majority of them too dumbed down to even consider that...
