It will be difficult to get the pandering politicians in the usa to even consider any word of reproach for these and many other atrocities committed against these people. The problem seems to be that those in government really believe that their god will curse those who curse their god's people. They may actually believe that because one obnoxious group of people calls themselves part of a chosen people via a made up a story about a man named Moshe, that it's true and those who oppose the descendants of Abraham on any point will be cursed by a deity. To even entertain the thought that those who left Egypt in an unrecorded and unverified exit long ago is unthinkable. No archaeological evidence for any nomadic people living in the desert for 40 years. No historical evidence or corroboration for any of it and the people are so ready to dismiss the non-Israeli occupants as refuse and 'paying the price' because they were weaker than Israel. Unless and until the religious insanity is given up in favor of science, doesn't seem to be an end to this. It's difficult to understand how some of these very highly-educated people can believe in any religion with it's sun setting in a marsh or four corners of an earth that is spherical and other tales from an earlier time when humankind was trying to make sense of the world around him. One girl from the usa was murdered by an Israeli who was driving heavy equipment when she was purposely run over. She had gone to demonstrate against Israeli excesses. The Amerikans didn't know how to react to it. Had she been killed by a Palestinian representative, the Amerikans would have been gnashing their teeth for blood, blood and more blood. Surprise, surprise, she was killed by a wonderful Israeli who ran over her, broke her back and died a miserable death trying to help others have a decent or equitable life. The Amerikans didn't know what to do. Rather than have their heads explode or implode, they just took on a blank look and rationalized it away 'Well, if you go over there and protest, what do you think is going to happen?' They satisfied themselves it was alright, never facing the fact that in reality it wasn't alright with them if they had been true to themselves. What can they do? The killers serve a higher power and can do no wrong in the eyes of the Bronze Age religionists. If people will discard the favoritism of their god and stop supporting unfairness and murder, things might get better. What merit is there to any of their religions? Is it making the world a better place? If so, for whom? There is no reason to treat ungrateful elitists with reverence when they are so hateful that they would kill someone for believing differently than they do. They don't have god's favor because of who they claim to descend from. If you want to be in favor with any force for good, be good, do good and love they neighbor. Human rights should be for everyone. It will be difficult to get the pandering politicians in the usa to even consider any word of reproach for these and many other atrocities committed against these people. The problem seems to be that those in government really believe that their god will curse those who curse their god’s people.
