Megabombs and antisemitism

Anyone here who this week questioned which clever mind came up with the idea of putting the world's strongest bomb into the hands of trigger-happy israelian government?! I read an article this week stating that the megabomb (MOP) is not considered to be strong enough, that the United States government asks for another 82 million USD to build a bigger, stronger, deadlier bomb to be able to destroy supposed nuclear plants hidden in bunkers deep down in the iranian desert's ground. And not enough with these fabolous news. There even seem to be rumors circulating that the USA could put the bomb into israelian hands to avoid being the one doing the dirty job. Dirty job? We are talking about a bomb with a weight of 14 tons and that detonates 60 meters under the ground. Imagine the total destruction, imagine the impact on local civilization and imagine the effect on world poltics and peace.

Is this not the simple fact that USA is building bombs but the fact that they might wrap them into some gift wrap and give them away to a nation that is at war with several countries and in the middle of a region with, and even direct neighbour of, several instabil governments as i.e. Syria. And just to make it even more complicated, those instabil countries are the once that Israel is at war with. So do the maths... is it or is it not an act of total crazyness to even consider giving away weapons of mass destruction to this region? If the reason is the security of Israel's safety, one should think about how the storage of even more and stronger weapon can assist in bringing back the feeling of safety and calm when the neighbours around the very same country become more and more insecure and nervous.

Are we back at the edge of a cold war? Is the new archenemy of the Western Governments, and espescially the USA, now located in the middle east instead of Russia? Maybe they just did not want to change the slogans too much. The enemy is still in the east... but not as far away as it was just 2 decades ago.

At the same time it is the memory day of the holocaust today and pictures and articles are spread all over the world to remind the people of all the happenings during world war ÌI. Yes, I agree, it was awful, the murdering of millions of jews, handicapped  and disabled, gypsies, left wing politicians, and other enemies of the state was and is a historical low point of humanity. As is the almost total extinction of the Armenians by the Turks, the slaughtering of libyans by the Italians, the genocide of Indians in the USA and not to forget the ongoing fatal dispatch of Palestinians by Israel. Point is: yes it is horrible, but it seems as if the human kind is unable to learn.

Why would the israelian government otherwise act as it does against Palestina and its habitants? Should not Israelians be the first to stand against all kind of racism and genocide? Should not Israel be the country to represent brotherhood and fight against ignorance? Instead history is keeping repeating itself. Hatred is giving birth to hatred, children are raised in ignorance and brought up hating their neighbours. Governments support all kind of terrorism, both through forbidden channels but even through their very own politics. Will we never learn?
