...One thing I hear a lot or see on facebook posts is how so many people talk about a balanced view on this Israel-Palestine conflict, claiming that both sides have equal fault and both need to make equal effort and compromises so they can all just get along and have peace. This is a reflection of not understanding the true history about this conflict nor understanding the true history of Zionism. The Zionist Israeli government has a very different understanding of what needs to be done for peace than most people seem to be aware if. That is the result of western propaganda (influenced by racist Zionist ideologies) which we also see reflected in the media and educational system which teaches distorted history . It also ties into the disease of political correctness. It is very important for anyone to understand who argues for a balanced view that in this case there is no balanced view where both sides supposedly have equal fault. Its about truth and facts and not falling into the middle ground fallacy: You claimed that a compromise, or middle point, between two extremes must be the truth. Sometimes a thing is simply untrue and a compromise of it is also untrue. Half way between truth and a lie, is still a lie. Its also the fallacy of putting ones logic (conclusions) before grammar (research). Miko Peled, who was born in Jerusalem into an influential Israeli Zionist family, son of a famous General in the Israeli Army, and who now speaks out against Zionism and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, cutting through the myths, lies, and propaganda we have been conditioned with for half a century, also makes this disclaimer at the beginning of his talks: The issue itself isnt a balanced issue. There can not be a balanced presentation on this and if anybody claims that their presentation is balanced, theyre either misleading themselves or misleading their audience. Then there is of course the fear of many people to speak out against Israel, because of what others may think of them, afraid of being called an anti-Semite based on the eternal victim card of the Jewish people. This is how the people police themselves, being conditioned with lies and propaganda. And so most people parrot a very distorted view of reality and history or refrain from choosing sides and justify it as taking the high road, or as a sign of spirituality and compassion. But essentially they are lying to themselves unconsciously, not aware of the conditioned corrupted view of history and reality they have taken on, essentially supporting the lies and ongoing ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
