Images of Gaza Devastation - a picture can destroy a thousand lies

163. No, I don't see a huge movement happening HERE, although there is a large

and growing protest movement against Israel's policies even here. We are not that important, despite what we might think. We are a very small minority of the World population. A mere three hundred million. The planet now has over seven BILLION people and outside OUR BUBBLE here in the US, a huge shift is taking place.

Eg, we USED to control the dictators in Latin America, but not any more. Several Latin American nations have withdrawn their diplomats from Israel. That could not have happened back in the eighties, eg.

During Apartheid the US was NOT supportive of the movement against it either. But the WORLD overwhelmed our leaders and did participate in boycotts that finally led to ending it.

We have to get over the notion that our small population is ALL THERE IS. It is not.

I don't expect US to end this horrific injustice, that would be foolish. I am expecting it will happen without us. We don't have the moral authority to preach to Israel, to begin with.

America is isolated from the rest of the world. You can see it right here on DU. But go abroad and see how much we are losing respect, except from the same old former Colonial states.

The I/P situation has been going on for decades with no way out, the US and Israel have demonstrated they are incapable of resolving it for whatever reason.

So now, it will have to come from elsewhere, NOT from the US and certainly not from Israel.
