What if it Were Your Child?

...even if a 12-year old had thrown stones at an Israeli army jeep, which is fully armored and bullet-proofed, how could this possibly constitute a threat to the soldiers’ lives? And even if that child had thrown stones at an occupation soldier (a right he is entitled to by the way), torturing him and abusing him sexually cannot be justified even by the staunchest of Israel supporters.

New Israeli Law Forbids Palestinians From Mourning Or “Showing Signs Of Sadness”

Walking to school and back is not the pleasant walk with friends, it is a ‘risk your life’ situation. When a child does not show up in class the others do not assume that he is home sick, they assume that he was shot dead on his way to school.

I know it's been a while since I've posted to the blog. Apologies, between being busy and being lazy I've let a few things go. I'm back to it now, emphasizing the cost of war for resources on children and the fact that you are paying for it! Doncha feel good?

Gaza Children Need Justice

http://www.politicaltheatrics.net/?p=584

The Gaza Community Mental Health Programme (GCMHP) said on Thursday that the deep wound that the children of Gaza were suffering due to the Israeli brutal aggressions could be cured only if justice is brought to those children.
According to officials in the program, brining justice to the children of Gaza would greatly help cure that wound in the long term, stressing the right of the Palestinian children to enjoy their childhood and be happy like any other children in this world.

Using Human Shields Equates Morality In Israel

http://politicaltheatrics.org/2009/10/10/using-human-shields-equates-morality-in-israel/

I don't really like this picture as it gives only a snapshot of an obviously more complex situation. It could be interpreted as the soldier protecting the civilian, which may indeed be true as I don't know if this image was taken during Cast Lead or not and the civilian is not between the soldier and what he's shooting at, but the soldier is actually shielding the civilian between himself and a brick wall.

I do know that Human Rights Watch claims that the IDF (i.e Israeli Defense Forces) used Palestinian civilians as human shields during the 2002 Battle of Jenin. So is one side doing it and the other not? or vice versa? Only more research can tell from a distance. In the meantime, Palestinians are being killed at a rate that far outstrips the rate of Israelis even being injured. Children starved, allowed to sicken and die. If this is not apartheid, then please tell me what it is... and make your case.

If at first you don;t succeed, lie, lie again!

Israel is getting desperate to sell this new war for Americans to be killed and crippled in.

Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget.
1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.

3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.

7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.

8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.

Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.

UN urges Israel to allow nuclear inspection

http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/09/18/85374.html

"Initially, Western states tried to stop the resolution from going to a vote, arguing it would be counterproductive to single out Israel"

So while we 'single out Iran' to open it's nuclear program to inspection, Israel consistently refuses to do the same, but we're not invading Israel... are we? Maybe if our congress were not owned and operated by Zionists, we would.

Killing America's Kids

"In wars, there are many enlightening things to see. For example, the Marine with a third of his face and half a lung, going ku-kuk-kuk as red gunch rolls out of his mouth and he drowns in his blood. Ruined or dying teenagers whimpering the trinity of the badly wouned, Mother, wife, and water. The brain-shot guy jerking like an epileptic as he tries not to die. Ever see brain tissue from gunshot? I have. It makes a pink spew across the ground. Like strawberry chiffon."

Scientist Warning of Health Hazards of Monsanto's Herbicide Receives Threats

“I hadn’t even discovered anything new, only confirmed conclusions that others had reached. "

I placed this under 'Anti-war' because it's the same principal. If you have facts on your side to refute allegations, you don't need violence. If you don't have those facts, all you have at your disposal is violence. Apparently tho, Monsanto has something it wants to hide... as a wise man said to me recently: "Color me surprised"...
