Props to Brian! We need more humanitarians from the world of rock'n'roll to speak out on this issue. Just like during the Apartheid days in South Africa.Israel is becoming one big Starbucks - they own the terms of agreement on everything for their own socioeconomic use -- which wouldn't be such a problem IF it didn't come at the direct determent to the disenfranchised Palestinians (who are the indigenous people of the land, remember?).As for the rockets: the Israeli government continues to create hundreds and of illegal "settlements" that are populated by ultra-religious emigrants who think gOD has given them the right to take other people's land. Those rockets have caused minimal damage and produced paltry casuality figures - and nothing of the scope committed by the ones with the tanks, the bombs, the helicopters. The analogies made above to England's neighbors are laughably misguided. For it was the Israelis barging in, uninvited, after the tragic events of the Holocaust. It would be the equivalent of, say, Macedonia coming and setting up shop in Wales, then violently trying to expand into England. And when the English resist they are called "terrorists". Coincidentally, the Israeli military is fully-stocked thanks to our (U.S.) republican administration, and well financed thanks to our (U.S.) republican administration.It's the same Orwellian doublespeak that calls Iraqis "insurgents" when an outside occupying force comes in and steals their shit.
