Free Palestine – Post #3: Why bother educate myself about the events in the Middle East?

Very simple! We – the educated and the professionals – have a moral responsibility of educating our colleagues and network about what I feel could lead to hate crimes in the US, endanger justice reputation, let alone giving our votes to those who spend our tax money igniting war crimes, colonization and occupation of others territories.
By following academic historians instead of getting manipulated by media, we do a favor to humanity and to next generations to help them live in peace. At least they won’t curse us and claim that we are a passive generation. We are better than that! We don’t accept war crimes!

In the resource some example of Jewish historians from elite institutions telling great stories to educate us. Please watch and learn and share.

I have an Egyptian origin so I am a bit ahead of the curve compared with my other fellow US citizens and residents in terms of knowledge about the middle east.

To give a point, I’m summarizing below what prof. Chomsky said about the history of Israel occupation to Egyptian land:
Israel used to occupy Sinai (part of Egypt) as part of their 1967 against Egypt. Egyptian politicians at the time presented peace treaty (around 1971) to get our land back. Guess what! Israel rejected. Guess what else! US backed their decision instead of pushing them towards peace. To repeat, Israeli politicians favor expansion to security.

Guess what Egyptians did! They had no choice but to go to war in 1973 October 6. I wouldn’t have cared if western media called Egyptians terrorists. You have an occupied land, you have dignity, you free it. As simple as that.
With the use of war by Egypt, Israel and US reconsidered and accepted the peace treaty and Egyptians got all their lands back.

You may wonder, has any politician learned the lesson and projected in on Palestine. You have an occupied land in Palestine and no one in power within Israel or the US politics considers to actively work on true achievements of peace. So, I wonder until when this arrogant stance will continue. Do you think those politicians are stupid? No, they are greedy.

But what feeds this greed? And why US spends this money this way?
To understand, I will leave you with couple of extremely important videos/lectures. The first one was an important lecture given by Prof Ilan Pappe 2 days ago at UC Berkeley. He is a well known historian and is from Israel himself. The other resources given by Noam Chomsky. Needless to say, these two gentlemen are both Jewish.
