The courage to speak the truth about the Isreal / Palestine conflict

Who has the courage to speak the truth about the I/P conflict?

Who has the courage to say that Gaza, the I/P conflict, etc, etc = another distraction from the only struggle that matters: the class struggle.

If the you're busy rooting for one side or another in a bloodthirsty, centuries-old mutually genocidal war thousands of miles away then that’s time you’re not spending concentrating on the depradations of the ruling class, like the newest proposal for yet another bailout for the City, or the wage and benefit cuts being brought in to pay for this scumbags’ jubilee.

The ruling class on both sides of this faraway conflict are hell bent on mutual destruction and always have been. Petitioning the government? To do what? All the government can do is let refugees settle here and sponsor peace talks, not that they will while arms sales are this good!

All that this war says to me is: we have to get rid of class society, stat, because if we don't then class society will get rid of all humanity. The atrocities we see in this region are typical of what happens when the ruling classes are used to unfettered power: the killing of hundreds of innocent people at a stroke, sending jet fighters and tanks against stones and rifles, tossing rocket artillery at civilians and sending teenage kids with their whole lives ahead of them out on pointless, fruitless suicide missions - often against other children. These are all the proven actions of the scumbags who run this conflict, and to support either side is to support the ruling class who do this stuff year after year, whether you like it or not.

The ruling class have stated their intention in terms of grape-shot, machine guns, explosives, rockets, jets, lasers, nukes, and all the rest of the pointless, stupid technology of destruction for long enough - why does anyone still support them? One faction or another, they all share the same aim: To keep people like us in our place.
