The Slow Strangling

on wednesday we’ll find out via Amnesty International, just how many Palestinians have been kept in Israeli prisons without trial & though the slow strangling of a people will not cease, light will be shed on the stark reality of Palestine’s imprisoned--- yet as the US continues to pump funds into its little arms box in the middle east, constantly increasing the aid it gives its little brother, the mainstream media conglomerates acting on its behalf will no doubt gloss over the issue if it is even mentioned at all (doubtful), rather it will continue to point its holy finger at China, wanting them to release the prisoners still left from the Tiananmen Square massacre 23 years ago. the pot drills on screaming “black” at the kettle, by beefing up the Israeli economy with the development of new companies there & throwing scraps in aid to the Palestinians, with mr. hope & change’s administration insisting that not a cent be given to Gaza or spent on road construction & as turning a blind eye to the relentless encroachment of settlements eating up the few crumbs of land left to Palestine is never a problem for the US, the complete swallowing up of the nation seems to be what is being planned. regardless of the punchy punchy talk that Israel’s government continues to shout at Iran (because it can), the US will back whatever crazy **** Mr. Netanyahu ends up doing, helping the insane to go further beyond the pale, strangling one people slowly, while getting ready to start a war which may be the one to end them all.
