Comments on: Exporting Apartheid: Israel’s war turned into a brand http://peoplesgeography.com/2007/06/23/exporting-apartheid-israels-war-turned-into-a-brand/ Creating people's geographies Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:27:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: peoplesgeography http://peoplesgeography.com/2007/06/23/exporting-apartheid-israels-war-turned-into-a-brand/#comment-24600 Wed, 27 Jun 2007 22:49:23 +0000 http://peoplesgeography.com/2007/06/23/exporting-apartheid-israels-war-turned-into-a-brand/#comment-24600 Spot on 99, and poetically so. The idiocy that is working to manufacture a war against Iran, whose engine room is the Israel Lobby and foot soldiers are Lieberman and Podhoretz as you well point out, is hugely worrying. At least more people are wary this time, but its still going to involve some effort turning this around. I read about *’s ranch in Paraguay a few months ago, and feel damned sorry for the Paraguayans:

98, 842 acres

…lets add the five hundred U.S. troops that arrived in Paraguay with planes, weapons and ammunition in July 2005, shortly after the Paraguayan Senate granted U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction . Neighboring countries and human rights organization s are concerned the massive air base at Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay is potential real estate for the U.S. military

I’m a person who suffers from idiocy. Skimming along this thread, I take it some blowhard is calling “us” idiots. Just wanted to tack onto the end here that I am so hugely concerned with the situation in Palestine that I cannot quite bring myself to follow recent events just yet. I reached meltdown a few years ago and had been bellowing for “us” to move Israel to Uruguay or Paraguay and call it a day for many months until it got to the point where I felt my only next move would be to become a suicide bomber… which would really put the kibosh on my Fearless Leadership of the Enlightened Bellicoscenti. So I had to go into cool-off mode. Last summer’s month-long symphony of atrocity against Lebanon had me heated back up to the brink again. And Lieberman’s and Podhoretz’s loud warmongering against Iran in recent weeks is threatening to get me there yet again.

I’m seriously glad that you are working this hard on behalf of sense, here, since I’ve become nearly helpless on the subject this way, but, truly… Palestine needs to be restored, and anyone there who does not wish to be a Palestinian citizen… there’s *’s new ranch in Paraguay or… even better: The South Pole.
