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.

Millennials are over Israel: A new generation, outraged over Gaza, rejects Washington’s reflexive support

Yes, the times they are a changin', as expressed so well in the Bob Dylan song, and supported by recent polls. It appears that the neoconservative agenda as promoted by the current US ruling class will be harder to implement in the years ahead. It seems that the old propaganda infused narrative about Jewish victimization to justify Israeli war crimes and apartheid-state policies is waning among the younger generation.

I imagine that the directors of the shadow government will respond by churning out much more Zionist propaganda in media and movies.
