Opinion: Israel — Palestine Conflict
Bombing Peace & Democracy Into A Terrorist
There is no bigger racket than war. Wars have made more money for a few select individuals, companies and countries than any other human activity in recorded history.
No one is capable of spending trillions of dollars in their lifetime because nothing really costs that much. Unless of course they are told to buy and stock the kind of weapons their perceived enemies might use to finally finish them off with.
Before we saw it happening to the State of Israel’s IDF soldiers, we’d seen it play out in movies; that infamous scene where that one soldier gets shot right in eye staking out enemy territory through a pair of military grade binoculars.
The scam is plausible enough, so countries (and individuals😉) go out of their way to invest in all manner of weapons, in the name of protecting their loved ones.
On the global stage, we wholesale referred to that perceived enemy as any brown guy with a massive beard and a backpack. ‘Terrorist’ would be more appropriate, although not all terrorists are created equal.
