MIGHT MAKES RIGHT
The slogan "might makes right" is one of
the basic concepts of communism. It's one
of the basic tenets of any power structure
that exerts its control by sheer force alone.
Israel not long ago the innocent at the hands
of killers has now gone full cycle and become
the killer of the innocent. Israel has proven
the age-old truth once again with terrifying
accuracy, "that power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely." When one sees
the long lines of Jewish people in captured
Nazi war films waiting for what was to be
death in a gas chanber and now sees Jewish
politicians and soldiers blowing innocent
Lebanese women and children to pieces in a
cold blooded act of wilful' killing one
cannot help but wonder if maybe there is
really no 'difference between the victim and
the killer, except that the Mier holds
the gun. It's not a question who is right
or wrong, who is good or bad, but who holds
the rifle, who has the .__power_
For a people who have suffered so much such
a short time ago, one would not have expected
such an about face, such a flagrant disregard
for the lives of the innocent.
