    I personally know people who lived under Israel’s illegal occupation of Lebanon. If America knew even HALF of the shit they get up to, we would demand all funding be cut off immediately.

          *Some of the US government. Deb who does accounting for NIST doesn’t know it (of course); many top officials refuse to know it. Experts who deal with the Middle East know it, and at least some of them are tearing out their hair over it.

          Overall I guess you could say they know it, but let’s not pretend this is a well-thought-out approach they’re executing. It’s a lobby-fueled clusterfuck, and it’s probably going to blow up in their face.

      America knows, America supports it. Quit thinking America is moral. It is THE LEAST moral country that exists.

      I don’t think it’s simply a question of knowledge. A lot of people make money by supporting the status quo, especially the military industrial complex, and other people hold racist views towards all Palestinians.

        Knowledge for who? The general public would be pissed if they had to watch the sausage being made.
