When the oppressors of another people are doing studies on how many calories it takes to keep those subjugated barley alive it is no different than what the white Americans did to Indians confined on reservations. Slighted food rations of wormy flour and rancid beef as to keep reservation people much too weak so as not to even think about struggling against oppressors.judih wrote:hi. i find myself shaken after the war.

Just a comment. Right now there is no place called Palestine. So the title is midleading.
Hopefully that will change one day. But when it says that 'judih' started the thread - then the title isn't something appropriate.
How about "Can we compare mid-east situation to Native American situation?"
No place called Palestine ? In my possession there are old maps that say otherwise.
How can we compare the Middle East situation to the plight of American Indians?
Instead of land on which to settle now America continues manifest destiny to control oil rich nations. If the reason for going to war against Iraq was to dispose a brutal dictator, then why didn't America do something about the genocide in Darfur going on around the same time ? In reality Saddam Hussein nationalized petroleum production in Iraq which pissed off Shell-Exxon-Mobile, the big oil giants part of the ruling elite who really call the shots here in America.
