If this doesn't completely break your heart, you don't have one.

Thank you, khany for this. Thank you.

To everyone else, if you're an American citizen, you have an obligation to educate yourself. Our government really is representative of us, whether we like it or not, and whether or not we are too complacent to be involved in it. Our complacency doesn't change the precarious position our nation's foreign policy has put us in from the perspective of the rest of the world. We are complicit in our silence. I am refusing to be silent. It's the least I can do for my country and for innocent Palestinians being slaughtered daily.

Watch this and think about the media you take in on a daily basis. Think about the importance of semantics and narrative in shaping the majority of American citizenry's opinion of the conflict in Gaza, and of the greater Israeli-Palestinian conflict itself. Get your news from broader sources, outside the U.S. The web is our greatest resource now in the face of a spineless and corrupt mainstream American media.

Take this video. Embed it. Post it to Facebook, Myspace, write to your local and state representatives, write to President Obama. Just do something.
