  1. For 100 years, settler colonists (Irgun, Lehi, Palmach, etc.) cooperating with the hegemon, carried out such practices of harassment, trying to coerce the original inhabitants to flee so they could occupy the land. A hundred years ago the British Empire dispatched psychos like Orde Wingate (Special Night Squads) who took pleasure in random shootings, or waterboarding opposition to the British Empire in oil, sending the tortured back to their villages to report about the actions of their oppressors. Remember all their names. But as millions of individuals, maybe we should start thinking about a different strategy. All around the world, millions of others like Aaron Bushell have finally figured out they are on the wrong side of a 100-year old imperialist war in the ME, but they are not as connected or organized like the outside meddlers have been for 100 years. Right from the start of this conflict 100 years ago, the meddlers' strategy has been "divide and rule", and it has been all about OIL and outside Western CONTROL over strategic locations on the map. Counter strategy to "divide and rule": Start pulling the rug from underneath the feet of these eternal meddlers... Boycott: Much simpler than trying to remember the long loooong lists of what not to buy, and for whatever specific reasons, is to try and limit what one actually does buy: buy no-name brands from small companies (addresses usually on the labels), buy local foods (farmers markets), buy locally produced or handmade items, otherwise go slightly "over-regional," or buy fair trade wherever possible. It is not a perfect strategy, but don't get sidelined. Don't delay. Start today.
