Although Gaza may still be the most urgent issue, and we cannot turn our eyes from them, there is another grevious situation in the increasing settler violence and land confiscation in the West Bank, aka illegally Occupied Territory. There are some, too few, organizations trying to help, at least up until this most grevious situation in the West Bank, this week, where there is an actual military invasion by Israel, with public officials threatening the same death and destruction as in Gaza.

There are those inside Israel who stand for justice and humanity, made up of committed Israelis and Palestinians working together to protect the Palestinians.

I do not think that inside Israel there are any affective voices standing for justice and humanity, made up of committed Israelis and Palestinians working together to protect the Palestinians. There are some but they are shut up by the 95% if Israelis who have been taught from kindergarten about those filthy rats: the Palestinians. Like the few silent "good Germans" during Hitler's rule. I think there are few Jewish Americans who don't support Israel. It's been years of propaganda and pleas for money. My good friend in NYC, who had no heirs, left her entire estate to Israel...millions$$. She would often go to Temple and hear even more about the Holocaust. It's drummed into them

This is ideal thinking, but the situation is so dire there’s not much hope for a peaceful resolution dealing with tyrants. I’m not sure how the people of the this world can stand against ideological hate that’s hellbent on dominion.
