A demonstration in Tel Aviv.
Watch this video. The man giving the speech through the loud speaker, is Michael Ben Ari, an Israeli Knesset member. A demonstration against something is one thing, but the hatred shown in the actions and the chants of these demonstrators is something evil and despicable. In any other country they would be arrested for racial hatred and incitement, but in Israel, it seems that hatred of Palestinians and people in Gaza, is accepted as the norm. Many people in Israel wonder why they are, at the same time feared and despised. Many Americans support and defend the sentiments shown by these evil bigots and then wonder why the United States is criticised as hypocritical and loathed by many for their unconditional support, both political and financial for a regime which occupies territories in Palestine, enforces a blockade of Gaza and its population of around 1.7 million people crammed into an area of around 140 square miles, and then regularly kills hundreds of the population with indiscriminate air strikes and ground incursions. It cannot be that all Israeli's share the hatred for Palestinians as shown by these demonstrators, yet this is the sentiment, to a greater or lesser degree, that is seen every day on the television media and reported in the press. The almost unbelievable factor here, is that due to the relentless propaganda of the western press and our own government, coupled with the unconditional support shown in many Obama speeches, particularly the one yesterday (Sunday 18th November 2012) many people actually accept the Israeli "we are only defending ourselves" nonsense. If Israeli's have a right of self defence, then the Palestinians have the same right. However, the Palestinians do not have the same weaponry.
