What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis illegally occupied Jewish settlements around Europe?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis forced Jews to be herded and processed at checkpoints when they tried to go from one area to the next?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis limited medical supplies in the Jewish ghettos, offering the sick and injured Jews little choice but death?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis would withhold basic necessities of life: Food, from Jews as if it were a playful privilege and not a right?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis would do their best to limit the outside world from knowing what exactly was happening to the occupied Jews?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis would unlawfully claim and demolish a Jewish persons home and land, leaving them with no place to live?

What would you be saying if you were around when the Nazis went door to door, rounding up men...fathers, brothers, children...out of the blue, for their family never to see them again?

What would you be saying if you were around for the forming of the Jewish armed resistance groups that said enough is enough to the Nazi illegal occupation and atrocities?

Now what would you be saying if you were finally able to break through the media filter, and came to realize that the Israeli government and the Israeli army have also been doing these things to the Palestinian people for several decades?

...What will you be thinking?...What will you be saying?...What will you be doing?

My guess:

The status-quo: NOTHING. PLEASE prove me wrong...

I tried to post this on the CBC.ca comments section of an article pertaining to the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip which has thus far caused over 300 deaths, and thousands of severe injuries. I am quite certain that the moderators at CBC will not list my comment, so I decided to also publish it here.

Update: CBC posted the comment, and it's currently the highest rated comment. I guess I overlooked how rational Canadians can be. Link: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/12/30/gaza-tuesday.html#socialcomments

Due to being exposed to, and placed in certain unjustifiable, and uncomprehendable situations... I've decided to unveil one of my secondary motives for creating this blog.

There are serious "issues" that the "Youth" and elders of today's society need to know and have a general understanding of.

Sadly, due to our reliance on the media and hearsay as our source of information...what I would like to call "subliminal misinformation" occurs on a daily basis, which in a sense... is filling our minds with "Crap". Its time for those of us who realize this to speak up. I spend a lot of my time thinking about what's wrong with "x" and what the possible resolutions might be. A blog like this (as small as it is) is the best place to allow others to hear what I have to say....and for you to share your thoughts.

I'm not expecting everyone to *immediately* understand what i'm talking about, but many of you will realize that the majority of the "that's just the way it is" summed up problems in the world are actually of importance.. and we can actually change things.

Yes, I do realize that I come off sounding like Barack Obama -> http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fe751kMBwms
