Since noone else will see it, here it is: Letter to the Editor Antony Loewenstein should be congratulated for bravely pointing out what any objective analysis of the Arab/Israeli situation would confirm - Israel's occupation of Palestine is a crime, comparable to apartheid in South Africa. Anyone who doubts this should check out Israel's unequalled record of non - compliance with the UN Security council. Such ideas are of course sacrilege in Australia and the US, though not in Israel where the debate is much more open. Now, watch the backlash, obfuscation and personal attacks on Loewesnstein begin.

Letter to the Editor

Antony Loewenstein should be congratulated for bravely pointing out what any objective analysis of the Arab/Israeli situation would confirm – Israel’s occupation of Palestine is a crime, comparable to apartheid in South Africa. Anyone who doubts this should check out Israel’s unequalled record of non – compliance with the UN Security council. Such ideas are of course sacrilege in Australia and the US, though not in Israel where the debate is much more open. Now, watch the backlash, obfuscation and personal attacks on Loewesnstein begin.

What we need now is for Australians and Americans to become more effective critics of their governing elites and their corruption & distorted ideology. Saving others is not the issue, getting our own house in order is the real problem. The reality is that in the 1930's, had the people and leaders of Germany & Italy held their politicians more accountable, then we may not have suffered the great tragedies of war and crimes against humanity. Domestic appeasement or indifference of crazy policies and actions is the real issue - not foreign intervention. We all need to take responsibility for the consequences of our actions & inactions.
