The most hypocritical issue in the US press is the issue of the arms shipment for Palestinians from Iran.

How many shipments of weapons did we sent to Israel in the last year? God only knows, about 3 or 4 billion with a B worth of Apache helicopters, F16s, A1 tanks and the like.

I don't know if this is an American issue, or an Israeli issue, but in my mind it goes back to a primitive racisism.

Israelis are supposed to have the right to self defense even with an A1 tank through the livingroom of an Arab, while the Palestinians are refused the most basic right of all, the right to defend their homes.

It is racism, pure and simple in it's most primitive form.

Author: Pam [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:56:04 06/12/02 Wed So if China tried to take over Canada and the US sent weapons to Canada, it would be because we're racist and don't like Orientals? I don't think it's a race issue at all, it's an issue over who the government thinks is right (for whatever reasons, oil, religion, politics). Pam

In your China taking over Canada example:

China sends troops to conquer Canada. They declare Canada an "occupied territory". Then, they strip Canadians of all rights, they force them out of their homes at gunpoint, confiscate their homes and bring millions of Chinese to live in Canada in secluded "settlements".

When Canadians try to protest they are shot from Apache American made and American paid and donated helicopter gunships.

They buldoze Canadian towns as collective punishment for protest, they restrict the right of Canadians to travel, they take away all mineral rights for Canadians, they restrict building permits to Chinese only.

Canadian protesters, including 12 year old "youth" are shot dead in the streets from tanks and helicopters which are made in the US and donated by our generous Congress to the Chinese so they can stop "Canadian terrorism".

Our Congress votes some 4 or 5 billion US$s to the Chinese in weapons systems every year because of the strong American Chinese lobby who would make it impossible for any American politician to get elected if they refuse this "aid".

And then we will have the damn Bible thumping Right Wing criminals telling us how Canadians have a culture of death, and actually according to the Bible, Confucius received Canada as a gift from God.

Get the picture?
