- very interesting tv documentary on the behaviour of the
- jewish settlers in the west bank and jerusalem (btw, the
- state of israel will not release data on the total number of
- houses built in any year to the outside world, despite
- the gouging of ten billion bucks from american pockets
- last year, for instance. rather rude, if you ask me.).
-
- the first snippet was a policy to restrict palestinians
- building land outside their own villages. as the massive
- amount of jewish settlement slowly builds a ring around
- these villages, what one has is the creation of many
- separate palestinian pockets. ghettoes, to name them truly.
-
- the second little item dealt with a bunch of about twenty
- jews who just walked into a fully furnished palestinian-owned
- house in jerusalem one day, and squatted in amid the owner's
- jewelry, photos, personal effects, etc. etc., taking over
- eighteen of the twenty rooms. the interviewer asked the jewish
- leader what was going on. the man said that in fact they did buy
- the house from an arab. however, the subsequent trial revealed
- this to be an outright lie, and in fact they had been told by the
- israeli ministry of housing to undertake this action.
- this august body is financing many such groups in similar activities,
- it turns out. pure monty python; pure fascism, too.
-
- all this appears bizarre indeed, and, were it not for the human impact, i
- would be grinning very broadly indeed. i guess the twisted lesson to be
- learned here is that if you teach people first-hand about ghettoes and
- fascism, they will be doomed to re-inflict these disasters on others
- in their turn.
