Thread: Jewish Lawmaker Compares Israel to Nazis

And my opinion is exactly the opposite. There are many Jews who are appalled by what is happening. Their views are represented in several places on the Internet. Mondoweiss is one very important site. To Americans, it seems that all Jews support Israel's actions because the mainstream media does not report on the opposition. Unfortunately, the slaughter in Gaza has become so horrible (more than a 1,000) dead, that cracks in the united front supporting Israel are starting to appear everywhere. All you need to do is open your eyes to it.

In addition to Mondoweiss, Information Clearing House is a good source for news.

I believe most of us see exactly what we want to see! Sometimes we can convince others, but they are either weak minded and easily lead or we touched upon something within them that was ready to come forth anyways!
we tend to hang out with like minded people and live our whole lives within a circle that thinks exactly, or at least closely to the way that we do, and then believe that this is the way the majority think because we rarely have to hear another opinion, and when we do hear the "other" opinion we fall back on our circle of friends, our books, our websites, or whatever you will, that will gladly reaffirm what we already believe!

It is a rare person who can think for himself!
