www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4334114/ The enforced opening of Thailand’s cigarette market to imports in 1990 has become a cause celebre in debates about the social and health impacts of trade agreements. At the instigation of leading US-based cigarette manufacturers, the US Trade Representative (USTR) threatened trade sanctions against Thailand to compel the government to liberalize its domestic cigarette market. Thailand’s challenge to the USTR led to referral to General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) arbitration.
We are all complicit and we have failed. When it happened decades ago, we said never again but our memories are short and we now repeat the what we feared. Please forgive us.
There are degrees of complicity. Yes, the average person bears some complicity, But the burden of most of the responsibility for this horror belongs to the ruling elite and their bought, obedient servants, the politicians. It belongs to the bankers and war profiteers. It belongs to the people who manufacture the weapons and the people who have the power to decide whether or not to send the weapons and money to the oppressor. Those people will not find hell to be much their liking.

If you drive people out of their land and homes and then treat them like second class citizens, you're going to have to deal with crazy. This started back in 1948. Here's some history for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uMkA--JpO7c.html
What needs to happen is the world to admit that It made a huge mistake in creating Israel in the first place. stealing the land from the people who were living there .
Yeah and in 100 years the source of the conflict is still the same. As the occupier, you have to make big steps. E.g give them some land back, stop orpressing the people of the west bank, stop the settlers etc
Israel dont want that. Palestinianswith the birthrate they have will be the majority soon and than they will just vote their own in power and dissolve the state.
That's the aim isn't it. So zionists can bring in more illegal settlers and steal more lands from Palestine. Keep this up and one day your haughtiness will be your own undoing. God are the most fair.

The same people whom refused to bow down from English tirrany and occupation, and the systematic oppression and suffering for centuries. A brave and a righteous nation.
