blessed britain
In 2002, a Glasgow University study found that barely 9 per cent of young British viewers of television news knew that the Israelis were the occupying force and that the illegal settlers were Jewish: many believed them to be Palestinian. The term 'Occupied Territories' was rarely explained, and people were not told that the Palestinians were the victims of an illegal military occupation. Language was used selectively, terms such as 'murder' and 'atrocity' applied exclusively to the deaths of Israelis. Only they were worthy victims. The deaths of Palestinians were ... non-existent news.
mad world
On one level there is absolutely nothing wrong with importing goods and services to meet our needs; but our eyes are bigger than our planet. If the whole world understandably wanted to copy our levels of consumption, we would need the resources of more than three planets like Earth. And, we only have one. Our economy and way of life need to make contact with the real world before we eat accidentally eat it whole.
...millions die while the rest of the population obediently goes about its business. Howard Zinn
