This is a typical propaganda letter no different than 1930s era letters written to Germans by National Socialist leaders – feeding the current USA or 1930′s German war machine with fear.

I truly believe that people are good natured it is always the system that is broken during times of excessive hype and conflict. Let’s peer out of Alice and Wonderland’s rabbit hole (world of make-believe) for a second and see the world as it really is and not what war-profiteers want us to think.

While even speaking on behalf of American Jewry’s own self-interest, there is a basic human rights issue in Palestine (and the Middle East in general) and a profound need for Israel/US to change their policy toward the Palestinians. Nothing about the Middle East yields to simple right and wrong. This kind of thinking is a neo-confidence game with the highest stakes.

Iran (Persia), Hamas recent backer, hasn’t invaded another country for over 1,000 years, yet Israel has invaded several countries in its 60 year existence. This film glosses over the suffering of the native population, the Palestinians, as told in the books: “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by the Israeli professor Ilan Pappe and “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid” by former President Jimmy Carter. There are other mind-bending double standards in this film which are a national disgrace and stand against the peaceful religious moorings of America’s Judeo-Christian past. What do you think will happen when you whack a hornets nest – invade Iraq, turn Gaza into a concentration camp bigger than an Nazi camp?

But then again, what can you expect from the media of the country whose attorney general and homeland security chief both have dual citizenship with Israel?
