Dissident Veteran For Peace: Weep for Arabhood

Dissident Veteran For Peace

"I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America." —Alexis de Tocquevile. Democracy in America, Book I, Chapter XV.

With a nod to the Most Rev. Dom Helder Camara: When I support Palestinians some call me an 'anti-Semite', when I try to explain why I stand in solidarity with Palestinians they call me a Nazi.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." —Major General Smedley Butler, USMC (ret.)

"... no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end." —character of O'Brien in 1984, part 3, ch. 3 by George Orwell.

"Every prophet has realized that nobody loves you for being the enemy of their illusions. Every prophet has realized that most of us want peace at any price as long as the peace is ours and somebody else pays the price. That is why the prophet Jeremiah said, ' "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace,' ..." —The Rev. William Sloane Coffin. "Not to Bring Peace, But a Sword."

Weep for Arabhood

Congressman John Dingell has stated: “I believe the United States has no truer friend in the Middle East than Israel. I have been in Congress for 50 years, and during my tenure I have proudly helped to move more than $300 billion worth of American aid to Israel. I believe our continued commitment to Israeli security and democracy is not only smart policy, but also a moral imperative.” http://www.house.gov/dingell/documents/press_releases/109th_Session2/08-02-06.htm

He also said: “I yield to no man in my support for Israel. I have voted for hundreds of billions of dollars for it over the years I have served [in Congress].” http://www.aaiusa.org/issues/484/palestinian-anti-terrorism-act-of-2006-house-statements

How do Arabs react to such flagrant support for Zionist colonizers? While some throw shoes, others make us wonder what more Dingell needs to do for "Israel" before Arabs finally feel offended: Congressman John Dingell (D-MI) to Receive Lifetime Legislative Achievement Award at the ADC National Convention
