Cluster bombs have uranium do they not?
&were banned by UN-& why I chose not to support HRC in her Pres bid (cluster-bomb vote).
I've seen vid of massabcre all over web. Believe legit..
It was afterall, the police tht Israel targettted in thier first bombing campaign-whaich is what pics of uniforms show..
(DEAD men in uniforms I should say)..
which is strategy to cause chaos-by isolating those who control it (police) from the civilians to try to invoke more fear..
you already show your bias by ascribing to the propaganda PR machine..
Hamas was a democratically elected party...
Israel actually helped to form Hmas years ago, by trying to form a counter to Fatah..
So now the blowback from yet one other prolly CIA-complicit neoconian idea (like Al Qaeda, OBL recruitment by CIA to fight Soviets in first Afghanistan war)-is to label that blowback "terrorism"..
ummm.except the fingerprints of Hamas inception are all over Israels' govt.-so becuase like AlQaeda, whom the CIA helped formed-let's just get the spinmeisters spinning Goebbal-style by labeling Hamas "terrorists"..
It's some archane theory like everyone who fights in wars is supposed to wear "Redcoats" so you can knock em off like fish easier...and those who don't get labeled "terrorists"..
Just becasue they don't jsut fall in line (DAMN THEM!) with what the past identifies with war (uniforms, lines, strategy that you know...)they are TERRORISTS...
As far as GG asking anyone here why they take the positions they do-as far as cultural, religious, social, national affiliation to further understand why you think the way you do..
your patent response of sarcastic "armchair psychology"-is more "sand in the eyes" DEFLECTION of looking seriously at the question YOU have to pose to yourself honestly about ATTACHMENT and PREJUDICE:ie a common sense-nothin "woo-woo psych talk" about it..
Common sense..
If you want to believe all leaders from the past and present are actually giving you ALL of the truth, or even your parents or heritage..
Guess that's why no journlists are NOT being allowed in Gaza now huh?
And would you believe your "LYING eyes" over a propagandized message anyhow?
Actually OPENING your eyes to truth..instead of believing you have a monopoly on it over reality is key to understanding how "attached" one really is..
But you have to WANT to see it for yourself-a scary prospect into the "grownup" world-especially when it means that people you may have thought were telling you the truth-were not.
When people you thought you had respect for-don't deserve it..
When you realize your own complicity/ego attachment, selfishness- over good of others..
Think about it.
went perusing the nets last night to try to understand a lil more of Isreeals' political background..
The public apathy for Israeli govt is so piss-poor that voter turnout is only at around 51% or less..
Israels choice of Likud/Kadima party is like choosing worse or piss-poor for Israel as a whole..
and much of the public is against both-but have no alternatives..they are extreme versions of Neos here.
Given that this invasion and imperialism of Gaza is so close to the elections-and currently Zipi was down by 6% to Bibi..it's not hard to figure what is going on..Mo O pointed out.
Political opportunism for elections sake...(and Palestinaian deaths sake I might add).
Also why our govt is so silent on..but why neocons are giving it one more "sis-boom-bah" in thier pathetic armchair arsenal of political strategies here in the US..
ie: Southern strategy for GOP: ummm no.
Fundies?- Sarah Palin-daughter preggers...ummm...no..
now neos/AIPAC of the Ledeen philosophy "to throw some crappy lil country (or people) against the wall"....in any attempt to save face for them and their party...(and take Israel down with them)..
After the fate of 06 and 08 here in the US( for neos/GOP)-can't wait for fate to deal its' last blow in this instance..
Further reading today:
White Phos being used..
leaflet drop (how kind of I)-Gazans supposed to go where EXACTLY??
-Zipi doing PR campaign beginning 12-21-08 for invasion
-4 Palestinaians killed in tunnels in late Nov. to provoke Palestine
-Youtube joined agreement with ADL in mid Dec. before invasion of GAZA (to prevent bigotry and hatred on the nets)----
(yeah right to "prevent"-you mean to prevent vid from coming in covering the massacres of Gazans)
-Arab party of Isreal represented in Knesset has LOST members and representations since 06..
-Shas party-hardline-religious sect of Knesset aligned with Likud keep iron-grip on any kind of fair religious representation and Israeli Constitution so-far bigoted towards Zionism-that it allows NO representation of other religions/people in govt (oh..did I mention Israel was set up as democratic govt?)
-Juan Cole reports that Israel NEVER paid any kind of retribution to Palestinaian families of Israel and are in violation of the Accord.(since it's inception-which required Israel to do so)).
-No Constitution giving rights to any other members of govt who are not Jewish..
so..if you can add....
2 wrongs don't make a right..
and even one BIG FAT WRONG makes a right-(even a small one)..
-another note..on Isreals' PR campaign:
Umm I guess all of the people demonstrating against Isreals' actions on Gazan massacres-and public of most countries being 52% agaisnt Israel must have not gotten the Rovian/neo/Likud meme as quickly as FOX does..

Daniel Pearl was killed by men associated with the L_ _-a new Al Quada younger group which has ties to Pakistan and it's crooked military-they were ones also behind the Indian bombings a few weeks ago..
(btw-everyone-ALL tourists were targetted in that attack--NOT just the * or so Isrealis out of over 200 people).
D'Oh-and Pakistan is supposed to be our allie..
oops.
