Friends, this Reuters photograph was taken at a Gaza funeral for three Palestinian kids killed by the Israeli bombing. It shows a very young boy watching the funerals. His face clearly shows his emotions: fear, sadness, pain…well, you can see for yourselves.
This innocent child, like many, is caught in Israel’s web. He cannot escape. His nation is under siege. For four days he has lived with bombs dropping. He has seen complete destruction of familiar buildings, the bodies being flung into cars. He has heard the screams of the injured, watched the tears of the bereaved. He, along with the rest of his people, is being starved. The hospitals around him can no longer cope with the numbers of injured and they are running out of medical supplies and blood for transfusions.
This child has done nothing wrong. He just happened to be born alongside a State which, let me be frank, is run by a cabal of brutal religious fanatics. Most of the people in this State do not care about this child or any other child, only their own. In fact they do not consider this particular child or the race of people he belongs to as human beings. They see them as animals.
All these fanatics care about is the creation of their Greater State of Israel! They don’t care about how much blood they spill to achieve it because the only blood that they consider is worth anything is their own. They don’t care about the suffering and destruction they cause because they are simply serving their mythical, ancient ‘God’, fulfilling his purpose, doing his will. You cannot reason with such people. They are hard-wired to reject any viewpoint except the narrow extremes of their own.
And, worryingly, these obsessed fanatics have nuclear weapons. And they have indicated they’ll use them if anything gets in the road of their racist, elitist ambitions.
The creation of Israel was a mistake. The baby nation has grown into a dangerous, pathological, warmongering bully. It cannot be allowed to crush this small child and thousands of others like him. It MUST be stopped while there is still time.
Act now before you and your children are also caught up in the spreading tangle of Israel’s web, one spun by anachronistic, black-hatted crazies who consider themselves to be members of an exclusive master race.
History tells us where ‘Master Race’ delusions lead!
Great truths, David G., and haunting picture of the little child being tormented beyond tears, most of the children of Gaza already suffering from post traumatic syndrome. The executive and legislative branches of government of my country, whose two parties and personal campaigns are largely being funded by those with dual citizenships, Israel and USA, are even providing Israel’s military with depleted uranium weapons, so that the effects of the children, and adults, will be even more deadly and long lasting.
Obama is going to allow Israel to do whatever it wants to the Palestinians. The general populace do not care. The Protocols of Zion describe perfectly the average gentile and to herd him. What is the US; it is the United States of Sociopathic Israel. Just like DG said about Israel, by its works, the USA will be judged. If the people don’t wise up and rise, the USA will soon decay away.

Correct. In a previous thread, swan used “my government”. Does swan really want to claim such?
A cadre of wealthy rouges has commandeered the “US”. It has control of the US Treasury and the US congress. The citizenry has been left adrift in a cesspool, which perhaps it deserves.

A video of young IDF soldiers on leave in India, making remarks that the people of India are just as lowly as are the Arabs, and even worse, can be found on line. The video shows these Israelis taking drugs and freaking out, as rest and relaxation in between messing with the Arabs back home.

This is only the beginning for the Zionist. I was reading transcriptions from the Talmud that the long term goal was to rid the earth of all goyim.

Ok, so we despair and realize all our attempts to show humanity its reflection was futile. Maybe some saw it, maybe more didn’t. Maybe the ones that come after us will have a better mirror. Tonight I think I’ll get about half drunk and naked and dance around the fire before some fool in our government tries to deprive us of any simple pleasures. Maybe I’ll just sit and stare into the flames and look for a reflection, a little spark of humanity, before the tears of the oppressed extinguish the fires of hope.
We, as individuals, cannot allow the sufferings of those we haven’t the power to help or the power to stop those that oppress, take the life out of living. This tragic play that we call life must go on, another scene shall unfold and hopefully when the curtains finally close, we will have a smile on our faces because we lived with integrity,compassion and humility.

Goodmorning everyone,
First, David thank you for your kind words!
Second, I was watching CNN a moment ago and saw Cynthia Mckinnie ( Sorry if I misspelled her name) being interviewed in Gaza. The boat she was on was rammed by the Israeli’s while she was attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. She called for the US to stop furnishing the Israeli government with WMD’s. She is the only person in the US Congress that has any balls. I never really liked her before because I thought she was on the fringe with some of her ideas, but I must admit, the more I hear from her the more I like her. She tells it like it is. I’m a southern US white male, happily married with children and I tell you, I love what this black women from Atlanta Ga. just told the world. If she runs for any office in this state or country, I will surely back her. I could hardly believe my ears. She took control of the interview and got the message out. Damn good job!

Ron Paul is on the fringe. Let us be thankful for the fringe. She wants to investigate 9/11. Truly on the fringe. Is questioning the “war on terrorism” on the fringe. If so, good.

Ken, I guess fringe was a bad choice of words. Ron Paul is by far one of my favorite politicians and possibly the only one who understands the Constitution and its authors vision. Cynthia fault with most voters and constituents is lack in understanding of tactical politics. Her bull in the china shop approach diminishes her credibility. If she could control her emotions she would probably still have her seat in congress where she could have much more influence and her rhetoric would not fall on deaf ears. When people who elicit change that the status quo can not embrace because of life long indoctrination, they are considered fringe lunatics and will eventually be shipped to the asylum to walk around the obelisk. We’re on the same page brother.

It is a shame indeed, but the reality is that we don’t live in an up-front world. The best analogy that I have experience with is a bicycle race. Have you ever watched The Tour de France? To most people watching it looks like a bunch of guys pedaling their guts out to beat the rest of the peloton to the finish,but this is not the case. Take Lance Armstrong for example,he is not the strongest rider of all time,but the best tactician. He has people working for and protecting him for three weeks. They chase down other riders that break away from the pack so he can save his strength for the really hard battles in the mountains. Ultimately when it comes time to rise to the top in the individual time trials, Lance grabs a commanding lead and the other riders are tired and beaten and trying to figure out why they are not being interviewed. They lost and their opinions about the race will never be heard and they will have no lasting impact on the sport. It’s the same with politics, work, school and even social events.We are not dealing with the Socrates and Plato’s of the world, we are dealing with the minds of the indoctrinated. The sheep has to have it’s shepherd. I think in Congress the number one requirement might be prostration along with a little prostitution. Hey Ken, they’ve got to supplement their income somehow!
David and Ralph, Thank you both for your writing. I am sickened by what Isreal and the US are doing to the world. I say that as they are together greater terrorists than any our media name. What a beautiful and heartbreaking photo of the child. When when when will humankind change.

Glad to have found your anti-Zionist web site David G. at this hour of nearly unparalleled brutality against the Palestinian people. Let me add that Cynthia McKinney is one of the greatest warriors the people of the world have at their side. She has the courage of 100 Obamas.
Both anti-Semitism and Zionism are the bitter fruits of capitalism. The imperatives of that economic system forced the Jewish people to endure the pogroms and the Holocaust. Meanwhile Zionists, fueled by the same economic forces, have since executed their own crimes against humanity. 62-years-ago, an unconscionable attack on the King David Hotel killed Britons, Arabs and Jews. Later would come Sabra and Shatila and now the Zionists are engaged in a genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip, a veritable concentration camp for 1.5 million Palestinians.
Capitalism created the idea of Zionism in its relentless drive to divide and more fully exploit the working people of the world. For the historic moment of capitalism’s rise to planetary dominance Zionism has effectively built a figurative and literal wall between Jewish workers and their non-Jewish brothers and sisters. In the US it has made a distant memory of Jewish leadership of immigrant workers of every stripe in pitched battles on the streets of New York to form and build the garment and furriers unions. It has squashed the great Civil Rights Era coalition consecrated by the blood of Schwerner, Chaney and Goodman. It has made unity with anyone but the US ruling class all but impossible. Zionism has performed as designed and isolated Jewish workers around the world in a “new Warsaw ghetto” called Israel.
The state that Zionism created has begun sensing its mortality and is thrashing around accordingly. The recent ravings of Israeli intellectual Benny Morris published by the New York Times can now be added to mounting evidence that the guardians of the state are in the grip of panic. The recent exchange of fighters recalls the 2006 attacks on Lebanon and Gaza and the resultant killing of civilians and destruction of infrastructure, the kidnapping of Hamas legislators, the targeting of a U.N. observer post, and the outrage on Qana. Each a desperate act farther outside the bounds of common sense than the one before.
During the fighting with Hizbollah, completely out of the blue on repeated occasions and in leaflets dropped on the Lebanese, Israeli leaders felt compelled to mention their power to erase Lebanon from the planet. A strong and confident force does not act so. The Israelis are blustering past the graveyard and their bully’s trepidation is now growing as the end nears.
Under normal circumstances the impending death of a form of racism like Zionism and the establishment of a secular state on the territory Israel now occupies where Palestinian Arabs of various religious persuasions and Jews could peacefully co-exist as equals would be cause for human celebration. Unfortunately, the panic that clearly grips Israel means they will likely join in U.S. attacks on Damascus and Tehran and resort to the use of their nuclear arsenal when all else fails. And that, on a larger scale, is the dilemma that the whole world faces as the capitalist system spearheaded by the United States begins experiencing it’s last gasps.

Very interesting comment. I remember a lot of the happenings you’ve mentioned.
I would argue only this… that capitalism in the US died in 1913 and has been evolving through imperialistic consumerism, to full blown fascism with the bush crime family. The fact is that it’s been happening in small increments until the sixties when it exploded with political assassinations and wars that went no where and meant nothing to the people who were sent to fight them but meant millions and billions to the backers on both sides(usually the same jewish held banks like the Fed. Res., backed both sides and made exceptional profits off both sides, winners and losers).
Excellent read, none-the-less.

And talk about being hated by the Ziocon Nazis, {which I have found myself to be}. they went all out to defeat Cynthia McKinney in her last bid for reelection to Congress in the Democrat primary, which they did. I have heard her attribute her loss to the fact that the Republicans more wanted her defeat than did the Democrats want her reelection. I have experienced that myself, but that explanation is for another day.
I thank you too, RalphE for your tale. I always think of myself as campaigning for the youth, and remember how few people were even willing to help George Washington lead a revolution for independence. McKinney is now the greatest political populist female leader in the USA (and it is too bad that Ralph Nader insisted on running as an independent, instead of throwing his support to her, when she won the endorsement of the Green Party over them). Cindy Sheehan comes in second, and the two of them together are fantastic. I understand a new pro-peace group calling out to Obama, with both Cindys in it, is going to be called CodeRed. I represent CodePink, and am glad to also be CodeRed.
Don’t let the bastards get you done, David. We have the internet now, and the evildoer religionists, and their mafia supporters, are being uncovered, and while most people just want to be entertained, many of us are fairly certain that soon, just like in criminal mafiosi do, these culprits will turn on each other, and then the jig is up.

The more research I do, the more I learn about what they really want to achieve. In my opinion they are worse than the Nazi’s. The Nazi’s came at the people with brute force,fear and intimidation. The true jew is like a magician.

Maybe you all can help me with a question I have. I have somewhat of a rudimentary knowledge of the history and happenings in the Palestine/Israel conflict. Not all encompassing mind you, but I would consider it basic and growing. How is it that everyone on this blog condemns Israel and the USA for what is currently happening in Gaza, but not one of you throws a punch at Hamas and its supporters? Hamas shoots rockets into Israel and everyone is surprised they would strike back? Its not like someone poked their head over a wall and yelled, “Pillowfight! Arabs against the Jews!” They are shooting rockets which explode and destroy and injure/kill people. The fact that the kill ratio is “345 to 4″ is irrelevant considering this fact. Most of those killed are confirmed Hamas members. If I were to go up to an exceptionally large person and start poking him with a pencil while calling him names, it’s a pretty good bet he’s going to clean my clock.
Now, I’m not saying that Israel is the victim here, because they have certainly created some of the blame in this matter. But the Arabs aren’t blameless either and they are just as prejudiced and consider Jews to be second class citizens as well. If the Arabs wanted peace in the region then their actions would reflect that. But, they don’t! Has everyone forgotten when Hamas assassinated members of Fatah? Another Palestinian faction? Unfortunately, its the children and other innocents in Gaza which suffer as Hamas uses its own people to create a face of persecution to further their own cause of the complete destruction of Israel.

OK Rip, I’ll give it a go. I will admit that for a long time I thought that Israel was just defending its territory and its attacks on the Palestinians was justified. The one thing that always bothered me was the US sanctioning these attacks. Hamas as I understand it was actually created by Israel in the same manner that the US created AL-Quida. In reality Israel and the US created a pair of fighting rotweillers that have escaped off their chain and now they don’t know how to contain them. Dr Jekyll is fighting their Mr. Hyde.
The control over Gaza and the West Bank has been going on for centuries. It didn’t bother anyone until the invention of the internal combustion engine and the discovery of oil beneath all those Arabs. Big brother steps in and emancipates the Jew and creates a new nation. The US supplies it’s new sibling with a lot of bad toys to “protect” themselves from those low life Arabs. The Jews formulate a plan to not only get rid of Ahab, but to get rid of all non jewish peoples on the planet. Look into the Talmud, there are two writings one form Babylon and one from jerusalem. When you read it you will understand the motive behind the Jewish state.
Israel has been literally starving the people of Gaza to death for a long time. If you wanted peace, wouldn’t feed your brother? Wouldn’t you allow them to access their fields to grow food and water to nourish their crops and themselves?
The ratio of 345:4 that you call irrelevant is in fact very relevant. The last time I checked, I don’t think woman and children were gun toting Hamas recruits. The rockets that Hamas fires into Israel are very crude and seldom inflict human loss. The bottom line is, if the US did not sponsor Israel and Iran did not support Hamas, the two could co-exist with each other.
I’m far from an expert on the region and cannot quote all of their history from the top of my head, but I do know from what I have researched that Israel is dealing a heavy hand to the Palestinians. Rip, I’m sure that there are a lot of folks on this site that can give you a better overview of what’s going on than I can. We are not just bashing Israel for the sake of it. You have to start digging to put the pieces together for yourself. I can tell you without any hesitation that what Israel is doing to the people of Gaza is nothing short of criminal. The UN tried to pass a resolution in the last few days to force Israel to stop, but it was vetoed by the US.
If you could get the religious indoctrination and outside intervention by foreign governments out of the equation, then there might be a chance for peace. Until Israel lifts its boot from the neck of the Palestinians, they will continue to fight. Understand why Hamas lobs those rockets into Israel in the first place. Don’t believe everything you hear on FAUX news and CNN,look for yourself. Hope that helped.

Great reply, RalphE. A nd also to Rip, realize that the people of Gaza ELECTED Hamas, by substantial margins, fairly, in an election WE asked of them. Ever since then, they have been persecuted, madly, by Israhell. As far as the fight with Fatah, Fatah and Abbas were infiltrated by Israelis and CIA. The important thing is, Israel has no right to blockade them the way they have, and to drop hundreds and hundreds of bombs on such a small area full of young people, mainly, probably with poisonous material that will pollute them. There is probably 100 of UN directives/scoldings of Israel, that it completely ignores, and the world does nothing to punish this monster.

With money stolen from the Czar, they bought up all the German media, bought the American media, the British and South African media. It is that very media, btw, that was/is responsible for all of the death and suffering in Darfur and other nations on the African continent.
And to add one more thing, the ‘master race’ has been ignoring the cease-fire agreement, even calling it a “calming” rather than a cease-fire, by continuously building gated and policed jewish settlements in the Gaza strip. They’ve blockaded all the roads in and all the sea ports and rail lines. Not even allowing ambulances past the gates for emergencies even though there is no other road. They pick the worst of the haters, known for their aggression and sheer brutality against the “filthy Arabs” to live in these settlements. The reports of their barbarism, their inhuman bloodlust on the innocent Arabs just trying to provide a meal for their families, goes unreported in western mainstream media. Go figure… :S

I seldom watch television, but my local “Fox” Broadcast here in Los Angeles gave the false impression that both sides were evenly matched militarily. They showed us images of Hamas firing off “rockets” (they actually resemble fireworks – no kidding) and the American made F-18′s streaking overhead decimating targets in Gaza. They also showed us an Israeli draped coffin and a story on how a Hamas rocket had struck a nursery school. This broadcast pretty much painted the Israeli’s as the victims, and naturally, there were NO interviews with Arab/Palestenian respresentatives, only Israeli “officials.” Theya ssured us that most of the casualties in Gaza were “militants”, and of course, blame was placed squarely at the foot of Hamas. The more I see of television, the more I realize how dangerous and poisonous that glowing box actually is.

Please pardon the typos in my last post.
What concerns me, is that we are starting off 2009 with a potential catastrophe that threatens to plunge the entire planet into darkness. If the Netanyahu and the Likudniks win the Israeli elections, they will most certainly mount an attack against Iran or Syria. The IDF has proven that it’s good at blasting people incapable of fighting back, but this won’t be the case if they should decide to attack Iran. I see a scenario which might either require the US intervening on Israel’s behalf OR Israel deciding to refrain from seeking US assistance and instead deciding to use tactical nukes against Iran (with the excuse that its cities have come under Iranian missile attack). How will Russia respond to this? Putin/Medvedev are already pissed at the Zionists for arming Georgia, and I don’t think we’ll see nukes being used on Iran by Israel or the US without serious consequences for the rest of the planet. The American/Zionist puppet regimes in Saudia Arabia, Egypt & Jordan will likely be the first casualties. Iraq will likely unravel as well, as the remaining Americans there are forced to flee the country Vietnam style from helicopters in the green zone. Abbas will be hoisted up and hung Mussolini style by his own people, and the American public will be faced with the possiblity of losing several of its cities in a nuclear attack (physical damage aside, such an attack will likely finish of the USA as a political, economic & cultural entity).
All for what?

We take all those troops that are no longer “needed” to guard bush’s mercenary army, blackwater, and send them to Gaza. Then, because we know this wont stop the israeli terrorism, we take the fight to them. Wipe the FAILED EXPERIMENT off the face of Earth once and for all, give the land back to the muslim jews and terrorism in the ME would most likely come to an abrupt end assuming the jews in our own house are tried and found guilty of treason and collusion and bribery and etc., etc., etc.,

People who’ve given up on the ‘system’ because it’s been taken over by a cabal of zionists who are very organized and have that very goal in mind… to disenfranchise our citizens from their responsibilities… make up the majority. They just need to be forced to be responsible about their civic duty.
The zionists did it by creating spy communities who’s coordinated attacks on local government could only happen if people gave up their responsibilities. Now we need to do the same to take it back.
Of course, a rich financier of this scheme would be needed to flood the airwaves with trend setting attitudes of peace and tolerance and love and justice and civic and social responsibility… anyone know of any?
All animals are capable of learning. Americans weren’t always so openly greedy and stupidly christian. It was a learned response. Our government, our leaders, our parent figure if you will, became so corrupted by foreign agents, by puppets of the elite at every level of leadership, that we the people, the children in this case, followed suit by example.
It’s time to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves. Quit depending on a parent who’s a drunk(in this case, on power) and use what’s left of our brains to keep them at bay for another generation. Teach your offspring to be independent, free-thinkers untethered by religious dogma.
I know that to some, my pushing of education, the importance I give to this simple tool, is starting to sound like a broken record, a bit insipid if you would like, but, imo, it’s the key to all of the Earth’s problems.

There is only a few vultures, and the decent men of the USA, and the world, need to unite and fight. Bravo. insipid.

Insipid, rich financiers didn’t get that way by engaging in altruistic activities. They got there by screwing lots and lots of people.
Regarding ‘education’, I agree but education in the sense that you and I use it should not be confused with what most Education Departments are involved in. That’s called vocational training!
Uniting is the name of the game, Swan!

It never hurts to ask or to hope… history is full of guilt ridden rich people giving away their fortunes for a cause.
Any time your populace allows their government to dictate educational “standards”, those very standards fall. It’s historical fact. So, you are correct.
Here in the US, in the early 80′s they initiated the DARE programs which were designed to turn children against their parents, preparing them for the day they knew they would have to shoot their own friends and family. Sinister and insidious! Talk about Stalinesque programming!
No, I’ve the humble opinion that the only people that should be allowed to teach are those who are ready to retire. These are the people who’ve lived. These are the people who, by the very nature of their advanced years, the wisdom and knowledge gained through experience, are qualified to teach our children. These are the people who teach respect through their command of respect from young children, who’s stories teach more and are more interesting to children. And, these are the people who need the income and the time off at that age.
But, and I know I’ve offended some parents and teachers out there, these are the people we put out to pasture. We don’t honor their experiences any more. Instead, we force them into a second ‘career’ as a ‘greeter’ at walmart making less than minimum wage. We send them to ‘homes’ because we just don’t have the time for them without a second thought for the value of the resource being thrown away.
No David, the dichotomy created within our institutions of “learning” when we allowed government to dictate educational standards by bribing local governments with cash awards is that we’ve allowed big business to dictate what our children learn.
When I was growing up as an adolescent in public school, there was a water fountain that everybody drank from. The vending machines dispensed apples, oranges, sometimes bananas and milk from the local dairy. The older teachers had fewer problems with larger classes because it meant a trip to see the principle and the ‘bare butt express’ with nasty little holes drilled everywhere for extra sting. Big business wasn’t interested in marketing to children because the average allowance was 50 cents a week if you were lucky. And you were less likely to spend it all as soon as you got it because working for it gave you an appreciation for it that the instant gratification of credit can not give.
Of course, I now must disqualify myself, as for some reason my choice to not have children, bastard or otherwise, meets with disapproval and scorn when it comes to discussing matters regarding children.
So overall, if we don’t get our schools away from big business, stop spoiling our kids with sh*t built in China, make them work for what they get, and make them become critical thinkers by forcing ourselves to let them go outside and play and learn to mimic adults and solve their own problems then no critical, free thinkers will emerge and the elitist scum have won.
Vocational training indeed, and your only choice of vocation is of course, the armed services.

Insipid, the day we abandoned older people, put them on the scrapheap, treated them as nuisances and inferiors was the day humans lost the plot.
How can twenty or thirty or forty year olds know anything much about anything? They’re still green behind the ears!
Re. your comment about getting schools away from Big Business, I agree but could I suggest that we DON’T teach children to mimic adults per se. In fact we should teach them to question everything that adults do and perhaps advise them in most instances to do the opposite.
