We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Tribalism, Racism and Projection – Part 2

Click here to access article by Gilad Atzmon from his blog. (Note: you may wish to read Part 1 either before or after reading this to get a wider view of his perspective.) 

This Israeli-born British jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist and writer explains how Zionists use the shield of racism/anti-racism to prevent any examination of their actions. They also like to hide behind "NGOs claiming to promote moral agendas, such as humanitarian aid and human rights." (See this.)

Be sure to watch the video in the article that includes a recorded death threat by an Israeli against a journalist, Alison Weir, who spoke at UC Berkeley.
