- 24 -to heart. Accept your lot as the White American ugly step-child, follow the rules an’ shuffle on in a hushed,but dignified desperation. This is the reality of Barack Obama. He is the long awaited get-out-of-jail-for-freecard White liberal America has been waiting for.The other portentous reason I have broken my silence has not so much to do with Minister Farrakhan andthe highly disrespectful treatment he has received from Mr. Obama as much as the relevance of hisendorsement while open genocide is being conducted against the Indigenous people of Palestine by theracialist, theocratic and genocidal state of Israel. On the heels of another wave of death and destruction fromon high by the United States supported Europeanised Western Asian client state, Obama had the nerve torelease a public statement not only praising the practice of continuous bombardment and extra-legalkidnappings the American state department likes to call “Extraordinary Rendition” in which he flatly accusedthe legitimate Palestinian liberation political party Hamas of being entirely responsible for the violence killingscores of their own people. In his statement of support for Palestinian genocide, Obama makes itunambiguous and plain, he stands with the Euro-Israeli lobby all the way:“The violence in Gaza is the result of Hamas’s decision to launch rocket attacks on Israelicivilians, and Israel has a right to defend itself.”This testimonial for Arab genocide not only whets the appetite of the Arab-hating AIPAC Zionists, but givesimplicit material support to the rabidly anti-Jewish evangelic Christian fundamentalists amongst the U.S.economic elites bent on preserving Israel if only to save the European Jewish population from eternal Hellfirefor not accepting Jesus. More importantly, it paves a new bloody road to American regional dominance overall of Western Asia under the banner of Christian-inspired liberation with petroleum as its holy sacrament.For White liberals seeking a middle-ground that encourages Palestinian submission to European-Jewishauthority, such sentiments are borne of an ever-expanding empathy for the political “uniqueness” of theEuropean Semitic holocaust, an apparently never-ending reaction to the White world’s apathetic response tothe historical European Judeophobia which ran rampant throughout the last century. I too am highlysympathetic, but not to the point of excusing Israeli xenophobia because of the unfortunate existence ofanti-Jewish xenophobia. If genocide was wrong against ethnic Jews in Europe during the 1930’s and 40’s,genocide is also equally inappropriate in Arab Palestine. It is telling that one even needs to consider itimperative to make such particulars a point of awareness at the outset of the 21st century. Especially to aBlack man who by all visible as well as historical accounts, should in a visceral sense know better.Rumour has it that the Israeli general public however does know better. According to a Feb 28th 2008report by the international news service Democracy Now, Israeli opinion polls demonstrate that more than64 percent of resident Israelis support a military ceasefire with the legal Palestinian government of Hamas,supposedly the largest majority recorded to date. The Hamas government has offered multiple propositionsfor an armistice with the Zionist state which has routinely rejected these approaches as a “submission toIslamic terrorism.” The empirical evidence that Israel as a notionally independent country was built on theprimary principles of abject terrorism against the United States and Britain is selectively written off as anon-issue. Fortunately for them and their supporters, the English and American public maintains a steadfasteffort in remaining historically ignorant of the more disturbing and paradoxical episodes of resistance toWestern imperialism.
