These are facts that most people don't know, and which if people knew these facts, would make people (decent people (non ideologically anti-Jewish people)) realize the reality of the situation.<br /><br />Why Are These Facts Not Well-Known?<br />http://danielbielak.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-are-these-facts-not-well-known_04.html<br /><br />And a crucially important fact that must be communicated (to wake up people such as so-called "progressives" out of their currently holding racist anti-Jewish (actual Nazi-legacy) memes) is that the U.S. government is not supporting, and has never supported, Israel.<br /><br />The Lobby<br />http://danielbielak.blogspot.com/2012/03/lobby.html<br /><br />The Occupation of Israel<br />http://danielbielak.blogspot.com/2012/03/occupation-of-israel.html<br /><br />"...check-points in Samaria..."<br /><br />These are, rather, checkpoints to enter into Israel from outside of Israel.<br /><br />"...the blockade of Gaza..."<br /><br />This is, rather, a blockade of arms from outside of Israel into Israel.<br /><br />These are basic legitimate national self-defense measures -- which, in this case, have been enacted by the government of a intendedly genocidally besieged, repeatedly militarily attacked, and terroristically attacked, very small, hostily surrounded nation. The fact that these measure being taken by this particular nation are considered as being illegitimate and aggressive and malicious is a manifestation of the anti-Jewish racism that is a deeply engrained part of Western culture and which has been promulgated by, and which has been manifested by, the sea of lies that has been propagated against the newly re-founded, continuously intendedly besieged, liberal democratic, very small sole nation of the Jewish people by the members of the governing social classes (originally "Right-Wing", but, more recently, largely "Left-Wing"), and, recently by the members of the "cultural elite" social classes of Western countries -- the U.S. and West European countries.Daniel Bielakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792786894694523598noreply@blogger.com
