Als je het mij vraagt is die er nooit geweest getuige
- westerse diefstal van twee continenten; Amerika en Australië
- genocide en etnische zuivering die het leven heeft gekost aan 210 miljoen indianen en aboriginals
- kolonisatie van half wereld
- ontvoeren en misbruiken van tientallen miljoenen Afrikanen die als slaaf werden ingezet
- zogenaamde oorlogen voor vrijheid (lees gtondstoffen en afzetmarkt) waarbij tientallen miljoenen mensen zijn omgekomen.
Je kunt een hyena in een maatpak hijsen, maar dat maakt het niet beschaafder.
The Moral Failure Of The West
By Paul Craig Roberts
Readers are asking for my take on the Israel-Gaza situation, and, believe it or not, Oxford University’s famous debating society, the Oxford Union, invited me to debate the issue.
I replied to the Oxford Union that I was unprepared to take responsibility for the Palestinians without undergoing the extensive preparation that an Oxford Union debate deserves and requires. Unless things have changed since my time at Oxford, one prevails in a Union debate by anticipating every argument of one’s opponent and smashing the arguments with humor and wit. Facts seldom, if ever, carry the day, and sometimes not even wit and humor if the audience is already committed to the outcome by the prevailing propaganda. There is no time or energy in my overfull schedule for such preparation plus time away and jet lag.
Moreover, I am not an expert on Israel’s conquest and occupation of Palestine. I know more than most people. I was rescued from Zionist propaganda by Israeli historians, such as Ilan Pappe, by Jewish intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein, by documentary film makers, such as John Pilger, by Israeli journalists such as Uri Avnery and the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, and by an Israeli houseguest who is an Israeli member of an Israeli peace group that opposes Israeli destruction of Palestinian homes, villages, and orchards in order to build apartment blocks for settlers.
