Yes, it is Apparthied, Yes, it is Censorship

Several theaters in New York, Miami and Toronto cancelled the planned staging of the play, "My name is Rachel Carrie" the young American activists who was killed by and American made bulldozer in Gaza few years ago as she tried to defend and stop the uprooting of trees and destruction of homes by an Israeli army driving by hate.
The cancellation of the show, which had a very successful run in London, should not come as a complete surprise. This story reminded me of the time when as young activists in New York City we wanted to show a documentary about the forced exiles of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians by Jewish terrorists back in 1948
An agreement was reached with the operator of the theater in Mid-Town only to be cancelled when he knew that we planned to show a film about Palestinian exiles and of course about the behavior of Jewish terrorists. We end up showing the film within the compound of the UN as the only place with a free speech zone in New York City.
For the most part and it is sad to say, that when it comes to Israel and when it comes to the criminal actions of Israel the American Jewish community for the most parts shut off its eyes, its ears, and its conscious and refuse to admit that the Israeli Wall is nothing but an Apartheid Wall designed to prevent terrorism, but as a way to steal ad rob Palestinians of their homes and farms and destroy their community. They refuse to accept that Jewish Only Road for the Jewish settlers and trespassers are apartheid and they refuse to accept the idea of separate cards and separate colors and separate license plates and destructions of tens of thousands of Arab homes and the refusals to give permits to Palestinians to build on their own properties are nothing but simple Jewish Apartheid.
In the US there are very few possibilities for any readers to get published any editorial comments in major news papers let alone publish any features in the editorial pages. When this happens and it does happen once in great while it is considered a major event celebrated by the Arab and Palestinians communities as a public holidays. News media hardly ever invite Arabs to give their point of views and of course Congress hardly ever has Arab staff experts on its payroll preferring to get its experts from the many Israeli and Jewish shops in town. There is simply no equal opportunity for Arabs when it comes to the issue of Israel and the Israeli Occupation of Palestinians and Arab land.
Publishers and editorial managing editors always exercise "self censorship" let they cross the lines and always leery of the advertising power of major advertising companies that simply can kill any publication that cross the red line.
The Jewish community has its watch and attack dogs on college campuses and in the class rooms and they have the same in the media giving its dogs some nice sounding names like Campus Watch and Accuracy in Media and Flame among others.
With that kind of environment, no wonder there are hardly any open and full fledged debate on the Arab-Israeli issues and conflicts. No wonders why we as citizens in the US can debate whether God exists or not. We can debate whether God is a man or woman, we can debate George Bush whether he is smart or simply stupid. We can debate the creation. We can openly debate Moses, Jesus, and Mohamed and can debate racism, and many social and political issues with some varying degrees of rigors. But we never have the chance to openly debate US partnership with Israel and the Occupation, or the influence of the Jewish and Zionist lobbies on decision making process in the US. I would like to know why is it that this issues that has cost US tax payers over a trillion dollars, and have cost the US so many lives most of it gunned down by the Israel Army. I ask the question why the murder of some 36 US navy personnel by the Israeli Air Force does not merit a Naval Board of Inquiry when the alleged funding of Palestinians terrorism by Professor Sami Al-Aryan merit the spending of some $100 millions on his trial and the flying at tax payers expense some 40 Israeli witnesses. Lyndon Johnson did not have the balls or the courage to order a naval board of inquiry into the murder the crew of the USS Liberty. Why the murder of Rachel Corrie by the Israeli Army does not merit or own State Department opening an investigation and the flying of the FBI agents to investigate? Why the murder of Palestinian-Americans by Israeli army and settlers does not merit opening an investigation when the murder of an American Jew makes the entire government jump from its seat and shake the White House and the US Congress. We only ask our government to treat its citizen in the same way, whether they are murdered or killed by Palestinian or Jewish terrorists. Yes, it is Apartheid and its censorship.
