let us note three facts of stupendous import:
1) palestinians are still in their beloved palestine; in greater numbers than ever.
2) 5-6bn people abhor israel and its people; s’mthing gotta give.
3)palestinians are willing to die like people; tho they live like dogs.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

~Mahatma Gandhi

I wrote a tribute to Hamas on my blog today. The Hamas Freedom Fighters deserve high praise for their stand against vastly superior forces. Their bravery is exemplary.

Hamas Freedom Fighters are the brothers, sons, uncles, husbands of the citizens of Gaza. They are fighting with small arms against tanks, Apache helicopters, warships, F-16s, etc, to free themselves and their families from 60 years of repressive occupation and siege.

May they prevail!

Yes a thought for our next President Barack who I understand will take the oath of office with his hand on the bible that Lincoln used. Don’t do it Barack and stop it if you can. Fight that serpent’s eye. The truth the knowledge use it.

Military glory–that attractive rainbow, that rises in showers of blood–that serpent’s eye, that charms to destroy.

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. Abraham Lincoln

Nice article Lonnie. Keep on asking questions.
Mike: It must be nice to live in a place where you each personally have control of your military, which always does the right thing no doubt, and always have your vote count in selecting the perfect government. Where do you live? I want to move there. That is the case right? I mean, if it weren’t then you too would be stupid and inviting disaster upon yourself.
That aside, you are correct about not being able to trust US, UK, Turkey – other allies… Ask South and Central Americans about trusting US and UK…
The problems are built right into the systems though, it’s very difficult/ maybe impossible, for people anywhere to grasp the full situation and to get support in order to drive change.
Don: I thought Fox News was a comedic tabloid like if Monty Python did a news skit. ; )
all: I’ve noticed an interesting trend in American media. It seems that they are no longer calling it Hamas, and instead call it “Iran-backed Hamas”. Any thoughts about that?

Nostradamus said that in just a few years if we can see the light and live with nature not destroy it there will be a new beginning. I think he said the cunning among us will be expelled that is if we see the signs. Anybody see the signs? We are making progress and tuff times ahead not easy very hard and anything but boring. Hammer it home the truth and knowledge at calm and peace the cunning among us don’t like that makes there game of deception much harder to sell and yes I watch the history channel.

mike,you’re right
israel left gaza in 2005.
left the greenhouses to grow produce to sell to the world
left houses for the palestinians to live
israel supplied electricity to gaza; supplied fuel to gaza

hamas smashed up the greenhouses;hamas smashed up the houses
hamas fired rockets at the power station supplying electricity
hamas fired mortars at the fuel lorries coming in to gaza

palestinian civilians voted hamas in to government
palestinian civilians celebrated the death of an israeli child in sderot killed by a hamas rocket
palestinian civilians,200,000 of them celebrated a play depicting the abuse of gilad shalit,the kidnapped israeli soldier
palestinian civilians allow hamas to fire rockets into israel from schools,mosques,hospitals
hamas leaders bravely hide in syria or tunnels or behind civilians

israel finally loses patience with hamas and retaliates.
it is only israel’s restraint that has kept the death rate so low

message to palestinians——your own arab bretheren don’t care about you
the rest of the world apart from iran and dissident voice don’t care about you either
hamas certainly don’t care about you; they are just a bunch of terrorist thugs

so they next time you are offered peace by israel don’t be so stupid
accept it and you can have a decent life
refuse it and you will continue to suffer bloodshed,deprivation etc
it’s your choice

mike,
blame the victim. and a ‘stupid’ people, to boot; which ‘risk’ being erased from the face of the earth.
i, too, can’t believe a girl going to a party and risking date rape, beating or even murder. how ‘stupid’ can she be inviting all that?
or a shopkeeper ‘risking’ his/her life and who got murdered by a robber.
thnx

Moral high ground of Mike:
People who does not bow before the butchers of superior force are getting what they deserve.
Bravo.

“Antisemitism” is just a charge Jews use to slander and libel anyone who disagrees with them.

Challenge to the official story. Well I just watched Fox News and I guess you could call that the official story. Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. ~George Orwell

I have to admit Fox News is one of the best at making lies sound truthful. There boss I like to call the penguin. We are making progress the truth and knowledge is still there worst enemy. Calm at peace when fighting back and the truth and knowledge hammer it home again and again and remember all those beautiful minds at Fox news experience themselves, there thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest kind of a mutual admiration society that look at the rest of us as subhuman. Am I being to hard on them, no but they are a tad bit hard on us and it does matter.

When Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974 where was Britain and the United States.

During the last 35 years when Turkey has been illegally occupying one third of Cyprus and propping up a make believe government by the name of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Britain and the United States have supported Turkey.

Turkey, Britain and the USA cannot be trusted.

I find it hard to believe that 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza are prepared to support 25.000 Hamas and run the risk of being bombed off the face of the earth by the Israeli Armed Forced. How stupid are the people of Gaza? Maybe they are getting what they deserve.
