People can see; they know. The more they see and know, the louder the howl against anti-semitism. Collaborators are made by fear. Fear of pain; better them than us. Fear of guilt of their own well-being when others perish. Fear and guilt numb and engender apathy. The birth of the malleable masses.

Bush and his cabal cultivate and exploit fear, produced initially with acts of state-designed terrorism against his own people (9/11), then conveniently displaced, by labeling every resistance movement against US oppression `terrorists` to cultivate racism. It turned the concept of resistance around to make Bush, Blair, Olmert into freedom fighters for destroying the world.

Israeli soldiers were sold as mercenaries to US goals. Were they defending Israel or the US oil hegemony?

Confusion of instinct, to maintain fear, guilt, racism as a self-perpetuating system. Millions collaborated with Hitler. We just aren`t any better, unless we stand up and say no, scream no, act no.
