War declared, Israel v Palestine...

Pinker, a man I used to have respect for, today was on the radio today defending police action against students In US universities. That has now gone.
 
I am appalled at the heavy handed treatment of student protests at US universities, these are supposed to be centers of education an free thinking, and their administrators pull in hooded police thugs and arrest many minor infractions.
The big American universities are very large businesses with huge endowments from many sources. They wouldn’t want to “sully” their reputation and allow legitimate protest as it might alienate their benefactors some of whom will be Jewish. Follow the money.
 
I’ve commented on here before, that the world-wide government support for Israel destroyed whatever lingering faith I had in democracy.

However, these protests have cheered me up slightly. It demonstrates that people are able to come to their own conclusions. That there are alternative flows of information. That people won’t stand by.

The question now is, which side will triumph? The answer could be fundamental to the future of humanity.
 
Another war crime in the West Bank:

Palestinians killed in Jenin raid were ‘left to bleed out’

So far, across the West Bank, there have been four raids on cities and seven on villages and towns. And just in the last 30 minutes, we’ve heard that west of Ramallah, a village is now being raided by Israeli forces.
The raid on Tulkarem ended three or four hours ago. We know that Israeli forces went in and took security cameras off the street in front of Palestinian homes that residents use to monitor the raids.
What we assume is that the Israeli military was looking for a commander of the Palestinian resistance fighters’ battalion in Tulkarem. It was widely reported that Israeli forces killed this commander a few weeks ago during a three-day raid on the camp, but when the dust settled from that raid, it turned out that he was still alive, remaining a thorn no doubt in the side of the Israeli forces.
In a raid on Jenin, young Palestinians were killed. What we know is that they were left to bleed out for about an hour before ambulances were allowed to arrive and attend to them.
This is a violation of international law. Israeli soldiers are obligated by international law to give life-saving aid, even in an instance such as this.
