the solution to problem. it ain't easy, i know, but here it is...
Why do we keep counting on our Western leaders ?
I have just read the article ‘keep on going sharon' (http://archive.indymedia.be/front.php3?article_id=21070&group=webcast) and asked myself why we still keep counting on our ‘leaders' to intervene in the Palestinian matter.
Is it not obvious that their interest is but limited ? and that hitherto it has all been but a charade to show they want to change the situation ? Sure, the politicians do care, but they care more about their pockets, and since this does not affect them directly their attention is small. Off course I must admit that there are some politicians that really care (but it is a minority). After the 11th September it took the US and the UK only ONE MONTH to start bombing Afghanistan. The Israel-Palestina question has now been going on for ages. Our ‘leaders' won't intervene for they have too many political and economical interests. Let me explain. The ways to solve the problem are two. The first is a popular revolution, by which i mean that the Israelian people and the Palestinian people unite and organise themselves against their authorities so they can overthrow the israelian state and the palestinian ‘leaders'. This off course encounters problems because the palestinians are poor and starving and therefore find comfort and refuge in religion and god. They send their kids in the hope to provide them with education and healthcare to terrorist trainig camps where, instead they encounter death. So the difficulty would be to make them realise that those ‘schools' and their ‘leaders' are their enemies. On the other side you have the occupants who are quite happy in ‘their' territories, and there are others who are quite rich and wouldn't give there wealth up for anything in the world. So that's the problem for the first solution.
The second solution would be that the whole of the western political and military world would fully concentrate on the facts. Certainly you don't expect Sharon to live by a piece of paper you call constitution or peacechart, or human rights, or whatever else exist or you can imagine. No negotiation will do when dealing with despotes, or men with divine missions. If the West really cared, and would want to intervene in their buerocratic style they would then have to focus 24/7 on the Middle-East. They would have to send troops to keep the peace, they would have to send tens if not hundreds of delegates to make sure the two provisional governments (israeli, and palestinian) are set up, make sure they run well and that they work according to certain laws, etc. Then they would have to send special investigation corpses to trace down and stop the terrorist leaders. This would cost the West too much money, the political friendship with Israel will be lost, and in the meantime they wouldn't be able to focus properly on other matters back at home. (which i think might not be that bad…). So here are some political and economic factors. Then let us not forget, and it also has been stated in the above-mentioned article, and confirmed by many others, the media is run by jews. Don't get me wrong though, i am not spreading anti-semitic crap here ! It is just that people of the same kind stick together, which is a good thing. But i repeat just to make sure, this is in no way anti-jewish ! !
Anyway. These would be the only two solutions (even though i would hate the 2nd !). But the people nowadays and all the burocrats and politicians have somehow ‘figured out' a third way… the legal way, the paper-statement-sign-the-peace-contract-recognise-the-palestinian-state-and-please-be-good-in-the-future-cause-this-piece-of-paper-is-a-promise-you-must-keep way. How can we expect that two sides filled with jerks and morons, indoctrinated idiots, who think their cause is god's will or that they will eradicate terrorism, and who fight and bomb, send troops or kamikazi's to kill, i say how can we excpect that those people will want to listen to a third party telling them to stop fighting and to instore peace ? Are we all retarded ? Do you really think you can bring fanatic lunatics to reasoning ? I mean come on ! !
Anyway, agree with me or not, but the only good and definitive way to solve this problem is the first mentioned solution : the Social Revolution. Let us face the facts. We are in no way stopping the war, so any contact, communication will be hard. We are witnissing this in these moments when we see that ambulances aren't aloud to provide medical assistance, and that the people are left without water and little food. So whatever we do, it is going to be tough. But we must insist. We need to provide as much food and water supplies as we can, and as much medical assistance as we can. Then we must organise the people in a way i cannot tell for i don't know the situation as it is over there –and i probably cannot imagine the horror. But the word must be spread on both sides that those who have had enough must unite : PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIES ! The people, on both sides, want peace and don't want to live in fear no more, and each side should no that it has more in common with the other side than its ‘leader' wants it to have, and that so they must fight together against their ‘leaders'. Sure the israelian soldiers, who are there because of orders, won't shoot on their israelian brothers and sisters. In fact of lately when there have been some demonstrations the soldiers showed their solidarity. So the people –only if it is the two sides together –will than be joined by the soldiers who will also turn against the fanatic leaders of both sides. Once that will occur it won't take long before peace is re-established. This process will definitely cost some lives, let's not be naïve, but all the other processes have cost already so many, and will keep costing many others, just because of policies ! !
