24. Gimel - Have you read: "The Secret War against the Jews:
by John Loftus?
He says it is the secret deals with the Saudis by Wall Street for oil which created this hell for you AND for the Palestinians.
It is not so much that we are overconsumptive here in the US of oil -- we are -- but that our governmenbt BELONGS to the oil and energy industries (probably just as Israel's government does). They keep us from getting a society where we reasonably plan an energy strategy that focuses on conservation and passive and other energy means that do not rely on nukes and oil.
When JFK tried to change that he was gunned down by the oil interests. When Rabin tried to make peace he was gunned down.
BUT we, like you, must bear some responsibility for the evils our government does even when we disagree with those actions.
