“Israel sees no connection at all between the peace process and building plans in Jerusalem.” statement from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office
Dear friends,
With President Obama just finishing up his trip around Asia, it’s important to take notice of the state of Israel’s most recent assault on the Palestinian people,, suspiciously timed to coincide with Obama’s spree, as it (Israel) has announced that it will further ignore calls for peace in the region, by building even more settlements.
This all comes just six months after Obama’s then White House chief-of-staff, Rahm Emanuel, traveled to Israel, a land that his father helped to form, in order to witness the massacre of 9 international peacekeepers who were trying to bring food and medicine to Palestinian families. Perhaps, Emanuel’s presence was meant to insure that there would be “minimal collateral damage”. Who knows?
In any case, at least to me, better than either “peace" itself or "talks" to bring it into being, nations like Israel, the US, Iran, and Syria should begin setting up programs for Palestinians, so that these worthy people can develop their own means of sustenance through the latter learning to implement procedures such as forest gardening, so Palestinians can create eco-systems to replace the desolate areas that they are left in due to Jewish settlers; additionally, they need to learn about renewable energy too, for instance.
This will, invariably, lead to the people of Palestine developing their own industries. After all, as the great economics theorist Professor Lloyd Hogan taught us in his landmark book called “The Principles of Black Political Economy”, food, the elixir of life, as it were, is also “wealth in the abstract”. Moreover, whoever controls the food supply of any group of people controls the destiny of that body as well.
On the link below, is a recent New York Times article about Israel’s latest bullying measure against the Palestinian people and all other decent folks in the world.
Cheers!
