Let's not follow the lead of Israel and the United States in subjugating the Palestinian people and in doing their level best to destroy Palestine. Uphold every right for the Palestinians we grant to any oppressed people or group, the right to rebel being first among them. Oppose dogmatic thinking and move beyond the Zionist myths in order to achieve real human rights regardless of race, religion or continent of origin in Palestine/Israel.

AS GAZANS STRUGGLE FOR LIFE PBS AIRS TALES OF JEWISH PERSECUTION
I just have to say that once again, as the Palestinians are horribly persecuted, tortured and abused by Israel, we see almost none of that in our so-called news and now a series is it on PBS about the persecution of Jews.
I actually like the program about Vilnus (sp?) and its role as a sort of de facto Yiddish capital but my critique is not of the programs per se but the focus of PBS as real people in the real world today
face dire problems while the Vilnus stuff happened more than six decades ago. Of course it does open the door to comparing the resistance of the Vilnus Jews and that of the Palestinians today.
It looked, sort of like a mini-Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising is a monument to the human will for liberty and liberation. Too bad we as humans have to be so pushed to such extremities to rebel for liberty, justice and liberation.
Let us take this occasion to remember that it was European Christianity that tried to destroy the Jews, not anyone in Palestine!
