But the reality of life as a Palestinian Muslim (or as a Palestinian Christian, Eastern Orthodox Catholic, Druze, etc.) has yet to breech the wall of the western media and thus enter the consciousnesses of the NATO world. Curfews, martial law, denied jobs, racial and religious discrimination, the constant threat of violence punctuated by the outpuouring of violence, lies, deception, bulldozed homes, ruined lives-- most of us would throw rocks, too, if not more. Netanyahu is revving up his engines to re-start the quiet genocide of the people of Palestine, a program (pogrom!) phased out by Rabin before some kid decided that all of the Muslims really DO have to die to satisfy the Israeli ego. Well, Netanyahu has listened to the message brought by the bullet in Rabin-- the only SANE person in this entire scenario, frankly-- and the game has been up for Palestinians since Netanyahu barely slid through the elections (can we have a re-count, please?).
Now the Israeli war hero, famous for
the extermination of Muslims in war time and the razing of towns,
is calling the shots (literally). He flies on the coattails of
the pathetic President KKKlinton, while hordes of machine-gun-sporting
troops eject unsuspecting Muslims from their homes as the bulldozers
"clear space" for Jewish settlements-- not just new towns in the
wastes of the Gaza internment camp, but now the Muslim quarter of
Jerusalem has been targeted for ethnic sanitation and re-settlement.
Netanyahu has promised to build a ghetto for the homeless Muslims
in the near future. Vegetable gardens to be replaced with razor
wire and more troops.
The world is far too silent as this invisible and, frankly,
"acceptable" ethnocide continues. It's time for that to change!
