There are great distinctions between Palestinian women and American women. The similarities stop within the war torn sectors within the hearts of Palestinian women, and the perpetual moaning of their grief burying child after child after child. As Israel justifies their apartheid system over Palestine in the language of the Nazi Party, and the former South African government, and the spiritual teachings of the old American system of Neo-Slavery known better as the days of Jim Crow laws public opinion in the United States becomes more and more isolated from its truths, and settles more comfortably into the contradictions of Christianity practiced today and the luxury of playing with words, and their meanings.
Americans like to sit with the detachment video games afford and play with the meanings of words like torture, and seriously think those discussions will lessen or alleviate the physical pain of torture, and by re-defining it removes the moral responsibility for our actions. When President Bush insured his soldiers would not suffer their presence in any international court for crimes committed during war that supported an American paradigm that justifies itself with war. Our culture has deadened the sacredness of lives, gender, and children to a depth of indifference to the outcomes of our beliefs. It is frightening seeing, and understanding this within the wombs of women who condone Israeli's treatment of Palestine's women, and American men already baffled by the complexities of their women. Failing to see the wisdom of listening to Mothers the meaning of Palestine's women who are willing to strap bombs, pregnant or not, to their bodies escapes us to our shame and discredit. Is there a difference between Palestine's women and American women? -Gregory E. Woods, January 07, 2009
No, really. I do not think so because we all strap wombs to take care of our children and others children. The thing is here we do not see it that way, we do it because we want to, not because we are told to it.
