Editor,
I had an observation.
The “Occupy” protesters are claiming to be against what we all can agree on. Big businesses buying off politicians, the government overstepping its boundaries, the disappearing middle class, etc. So why are there signs on that corner crying out against U.S. aid to Israel?
Ask anyone about the Holocaust and you will mostly get replies that Hitler was evil, the Jews were being exterminated and that’s bad, and so on. Yet the exact same thing that our country to this day is supposedly 100 percent against (genocide against the Jews), our President, and a lot of protesters and “intelligent” people seem to be just fine with, because Israel’s neighbors are attempting to wipe them out, not a European or “civilized” country. Am I the only one that this bothers greatly?
I hope not.
