"Palestinian Justice vs. American & Israeli Sociopathology" By Genevieve Cora Fraser

Hello. The article "Palestinian Justice vs. American & Israeli Sociopathology" By Genevieve Cora Fraser (Al-Jazeerah, May 27, 2006) grabbed my heart and would not let go. I felt forced to respond.

Mrs Fraser says:

"I am stunned and numb and tired. Has the world lost its senses or has this level of evil always existed? Living in middle class USA, was I blind? Has the veneer of civility been so polished I was deceived? Or is this disillusionment something that comes with age?"

Mrs. Fraser? The answer to your questions are all affirmative I am afraid. This level of evil HAS always existed in the world. You WERE blind living in the middle class in the USA. The veneer of civility IS so polished that you were deceived. The disillusionment comes with age because it takes that many years to accept that the authority figures whose job it was to teach you about life have been lying to you for decades.

I empathize with you because I felt the exact same way awhile back. I still do feel that way. There is no good. There is no law. There is no justice. There is no one that is going to enforce what is right and good and just. The politicians, the police, the military, the religious institutions......they are all going to stand by and watch evil take over the USA and the world.

I want to be angry with them. It is their job to deal with exactly this kind of situation. Preventing evil from affecting the lives of the rest of us. Then I have to consider. Maybe the police, the military, the politicians and the religious leaders are all like us. They cannot believe their own eyes that evil is running rampant across the front page of the newspapers and on the TV. They keep looking to someone else to act. They do not want to accept that there is no one who is going to come riding out of the sunset to stop the evil that is taking over the world.

No one except themselves.

The Activities of AIPAC

I am writing to request you to please Make readers aware of the activities of AIPAC.

Their website is www.aipac.org.

They are spreading false propaganda against Muslims in the whole world.

Due to them, ISRAEL is able to dominate the world. Even the Government of United States is playing in the hands of this Organization.

As MUSLIMS, its our responsibility to make the other people aware of them and discourage their activities as much as we can according to our strengths respectively.
