Here is a very provocative essay by Michelle Alexander:

Powerful forces supported the Vietnam War, and they made certain it lasted as long as possible. For them Dr. King was merely a speed bump whom they dispatched using the patsy du jour.
Similar powerful forces support everything Israel has been doing, and they will make certain that no one gets in their way. Doing anything meaningful for the Palestinians would require a sea change in politics and world governance. Do you think such a thing can happen?
I don't. "Our" government is no longer democratic or sovereign, and We the People do not have the means to effect such a change.
By the way, I would be HAPPY to be proven wrong on this, but I truly doubt that I will.
"Our" government can crush entire nations. Doesn't this suggest to you that We the People are powerless?
