Dear John and Doves -

Many of us here in the U.S. have the strong sense that our government has been stolen from us.  Those who have looked have seen huge evidence of managed candidates, vote fraud, deception and lies.  The point is:  the government is not US and it does not represent our interests or even care about our desires.  What the U.S. Government does DOES NOT REPRESENT the American people.  We do not authorize or support MANY of the government's activities.

I bring this up as something that we all can relate to:  Governments OFTEN do not do what's in the best interests of the people they purport to represent, and the same thing is happening in the middle east today.  Our corrupt mainstream media is trying to paint a picture that Gaza is a terrorist organization, that Israel is the "good guy" and so forth.  We've all heard the narrative.  The FACT seems to be that the people of the State of Israel - despite their racial heritage - are "represented" by a militant Zionist government that does NOT represent their interests.  On the other side is Hamas - a government allegedly created and put in place by the Zionist government of Israel in order to foment violence.  Hamas is another "government" that DOES NOT represent the Palestinian people held in Gaza. 

So we should not conflate the people in Gaza with their government.  Yes, there are most certainly violent miscreants who are members of Hamas and who have done horrific things.  But that should not taint the people of Palestine who, like us, are unwilling spectators, having no power to change anything.  Similarly, we should not conflate the people in Israel with their government.

It's an old, old game.  Don't be deceived either by the Zionist government, nor by Hamas, nor by our own complicit mainstream media.

This whole thing is truly too sad for words.  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  May Jesus Christ come quickly! 

Best,

Steve
