This is an excellent 7 minute video explaining WHY the U.S. and U.K. and other wealthy nations so strongly support Israel's current atrocities. No spoilers. Just watch it! (h/t Adlie)
ETA: Yianis Varoufakis explains that,
"apartheid, whether practiced in South Africa or Palestine or Israel, is always going to procure violence because it's a violent, misanthropic system. . . . The criminals are Europeans, us, every single member of our German society, our French society, our Greek society, United States society. We have participated in this crime against humanity over the decades by keeping our mouths shut. . . . Collectively we must take the first decisive steps towards peace, and that is the destruction of the state of apartheid, just like we did in South Africa."
Thanks, Mound - That's excellent.
