Does the violence and ethic cleansing in the West Bank and Gaza get left out of our media because of US contradictions? We praise freedom and human rights when it comes to Ukraine, and yet send billions to Israel for its slaughter of Palestinians.

Does that mean one of our political parties can capitalize on worker mistreatment and abuse, especially since the gap between the rich and poor is now the highest it has ever been?

How does a oppressed population learn to live, and finally to prosper in a violent and racist society? We can look at the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank as examples of what racism can do.
