[RichardandMariaMaguire]

Hi Bill

I agree that we need to revisit the interlocking traumas that create 
this kind of suffering.  Among the many good resources for this, one 
that stands out is "Fateful Triangle" by Noam Chomsky. Though he 
originally wrote it 40 years ago and updated it in 1999, it still reads 
like he wrote it yesterday.  His documentation draws from Israeli, US 
and UK sources as well as many other.  I became especially clear from it 
how the economic and political interest of the USA and the UK have set 
up and continue to be very deeply implicated in them.  A very 
interesting and painful read is at the end of the book when he explores 
the consequences of a US withdrawl from its current behaviour.

There are other more recent very good books as well. and as well the 
publication Middle East Research and Information Project.

In the light of what I know from various sources, the last place to go 
gain understanding of the situation is our media and government 
sources.  This is also true here in Australia.

Best wishes

Richard

Triggering on all sides - and divided US politics - has fed into incredible misery.  That's a given.  But - next steps?  Biden seems to be walking a tightrope made necessary by multiple dynamics; calling him out as a 'puppet' of Netanyahu as the 'master' does not seem to reflect that reality. The unconscionable attack on Israeli citizens came from an equally unconscionable occupation of Gaza and so forth back to the Palestinian Mandate and post WWII guilt over the blind eye and rejection of exiles from Germany. Each violent step - including the Stern Gang et. al. has led to this disaster.  But moralism and fingerpointing will not change the reality on the ground.
