Brainwashed Children

Brainwashed children are a self-fulfilling prophecy. School teachers maintain their self-respect with a dictum. If one generation matures without any knowledge of history, philosophy and fine arts, we lose our culture and our civilization forever.

Since 1947 Palestinian and American children have been inflicted with increasingly clever programs to alter their mindsets. That’s three generations given to mindless jingoism, rampant racism and perpetual war.

The leaders of both countries have denounced the aim to negotiate in order to reach peaceful agreements. It is high treason to talk to a perceived enemy. Each leader realizes that compromising with a foreign power could destroy his local support and perhaps lead to his assassination.

All the 1947 kids have grown up many of them nasty.

They say that revolution is a long term proposition. If that is true, the wingnuts have certainly paid their dues. I wonder if progressives are willing to pay the price to reverse the process.
