This is a book review and a quick summary of some of the Israeli atrocities against Palestine. It ends with:

Duty, of course, has costs. Rev. Are writes: "Speak up for the Palestinians and you will make enemies. Yet, as Christians, we must be willing to raise issues that until now we have chosen to dodge."

More than a decade later, President Jimmy Carter, a true friend of Israel, tried again to awaken Americans' moral conscience with his book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Carter was instantly demonized by the Israel Lobby.

Sixty years of efforts by good and humane people to hold Israel accountable have so far failed, but they are more important today than ever before. Israel has its captive American nation on the verge of attacking Iran, the consequences of which could be catastrophic for all concerned. The alleged purpose of the attack is to eliminate nonexistent Iranian nuclear weapons. The real reason is to eliminate all support for Hamas and Hezbollah so that Israel can seize the entire West Bank and southern Lebanon. The Bush regime is eager to do Israel's bidding, and the media and evangelical "Christian" churches have been preparing the American people for the event.

It is paradoxical that Israel is demonstrating that veracity lies not in the Christian belief in good will but in Lenin's doctrine that violence is the effective force in history and that the evangelical Christian Zionist churches agree.

As you may know, I have listened with extreme attention to everything I can get my hands on that has Ahmadinejad speaking. He never wavers from exhorting us to cease the violence and cruelty and let the matter of who controls what territory be resolved by referendum, by peaceful and democratic means. Some of the best men we have here have been saying the same thing. This really is as insane as us helping intransigently evil and murderous forces. Click the wailing wall and at least skim the piece by Paul Craig Roberts.
