How Israel indoctrinates its people w/Miko Peled | The Chris Hedges Report
Three months into Israel's bombardment of Gaza, the atrocities the IDF has committed against Palestinians are too numerous to name.

The problem for Jewish people as they have been oppressed for millennia is that they feel even when they are good bourgeois citizens or otherwise do not adhere to the so-called ‘normal’ morals of Western society that they are being hated anyway one way or the other. This is very much a psychological pattern of any oppressed human being (vide Fanon). This would not absolve Israel from their acts, but at least it is less hypocritical than pretending that Jews should be (like US blacks) good people because of their oppression. That is simply adding insult to injury. One may… Read more »
