Did you know?

Did you know that India have banned Arab TV channels under pressure from Israel. In a country widely referred to as the world’s largest democracy, the Indian government has succumbed to mounting Israeli pressure and ordered a nationwide ban on the broadcast of Arab television channels?!

Now you know!

Did you know that in the vision of Ben Gurion, Israel’s founding leader, Israel’s border should be “natural”, that is - the Jordan river in the East, and the Litani river of Lebanon in the north. In 1967, Israel gained control over the Jordan river, in the occupied Palestinian land, but all its attempts to establish the Litani border have failed so far.

Now you know!

Now you know!

Did you know that the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon (Ein el-Hilweh) was shelled by Israel?! As usual, Israel claimed that the target was the house of a Hizbollah guerrilla!!
Keep in mind that the camp is home to about 75,000 Palestinian refugees and their descendants who were displaced by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.

Now you know!

Did you know that new and unkown deadly weapons used by Israeli forces?! By now there are countless reports, from hospitals, witnesses, armament experts and journalists that strongly suggest that in the present offensive of Israeli forces against Lebanon and Gaza ‘new weapons’ are being used. Bodies with dead tissues and no apparent wounds; ’shrunken’ corpses; civilians with heavy damage to lower limbs that require amputation, which is nevertheless followed by unstoppable necrosis and death; descriptions of extensive internal wounds with no trace of shrapnel, corpses blackened but not burnt, and others heavily wounded that did not bleed.

Now you know!

Did you know that the Terrorist State of Israel has threatens to kill UN engineers attempting to rebuild Lebanese bridges?!

Now you know!

Defence for Children International – Palestine Section (DCI/PS) would like to draw attention to the 31 Palestinian children whose deaths expose anew the degradation of the principles of international humanitarian law.

Now you know!

Did you know that Israel has made itself the least safe place in the world for a Jew to live?!

    LOS ANGELES, August 9 (UPI) ? Steven Spielberg’s Righteous Person Foundation will donate $1 million for relief efforts in Israel.

    The foundation will begin with an initial donation of $250,000 to the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles Israel Crisis Fund, the group said Wednesday in a statement.

    Additional gifts will be made to the New Israel Fund and other relief organizations in Israel in the weeks and months ahead. The Federation donation will support emergency efforts for children who have been evacuated from the North, adults and families who cannot leave the North, and an effort to put shatter proof glass into Haifa’s three hospitals as well as emergency assistance to the hospital in Naharia.

    The New Israel Fund donation will help provide emergency assistance to underserved communities in the North through support of crisis hotlines, emergency economic assistance, and improved food distribution for those in need.

    Did you know our Saudi king has enough money that he can empower and employ muslims around the globe to contribute in research especially in science and technology. But he lacks the will and motivation to protect our people.

    Did you know that numerous PhD Scholars approached Middle East countries to setup technology research centers and fundings. But our leaders are lazy.

    Did you know that we still have the potential to retain our heritage and our pride by investing in science and technology.

    Did you know arab league is capable of setting up a broader regional command structure for armed forces like NATO to combat the threat from ZIONIST and also from INDIA.

    Lebanon massacre

    Thousands of innocent people including women & children are being killed like ants in Lebanon, yet the entire world plays spectator counting the numbers. This proves how helpless all the nations are when it comes to standing against US & Israel for their wrong doing.

    Whole world is so afraid of US that even after its crystal clear that what is going on is wrong, may it be people of Lebanon or Israel the fact is they are being killed and yet no one has the guts to standup and ask US to put an end to this massacre.

    At one side US is prosecuting Saddam Hussain for mass killing & crime against mankind and on the other hand sponsoring the inhuman act of Israel, is this not hypocrisy.

    Today people of Lebanon, Palestine & Iraq live under terror, shall we not call this as US terrorism, then what remains to be differentiated between US and Al-Quida when both of them are killing innocent people one in the name of Jihad and other in the name of anti terrorism.

    In this entire game of blood shedding its we the common people who are massacred like cattle, to name a few, may it be Iraq, World Trade Centre, London, Lebanon, Palestine or Afghanistan its innocent people like us who were killed and if things continue as they are then its to far when we too will be victims of this game of power.

    Its time we common people from all over the world get together and strengthen our governments to raise their voice against inhuman acts.

    US being the super power should understand its responsibility and should work for mankind, its time when US should create history for its contribution for mankind and not against it.

    A continuation to Did you know:

    … that non-Jewish Israelis can’t buy or lease land in Israel.

    … that Palestinian license plates in Israel are color coded to distinguish Jews from non-Jews.

    … that Jerusalem, both East and West, is considered by the entire world community, including the United States, to be occupied territory and NOT part of Israel.

    … that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jews and the remaining 15% is divided among all Palestinians in the territories? For example in Hebron, 85% of the water is given to about 400 settlers, while 15% must be divided among Hebron’s 120,000 Palestinians.

    … the United States awards Israel $5 billion in aid each year.

    … that yearly US aid to Israel exceeds the aid the US grants to the whole African continent.

    … that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has nuclear weapons.

    … that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and bars international inspections from its sites.

    … that Israel currently occupies territories of two sovereign nations (Lebanon and Syria) in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions.

    … that Israel has for decades routinely sent assassins into other countries to kill its political enemies.

    … that high-ranking military officers in the Israeli Defense Forces have admitted publicly that unarmed prisoners of war were executed by the IDF.

    … that Israel refuses to prosecute its soldiers who have acknowledged executing prisoners of war.

    … that Israel routinely confiscates bank accounts, businesses and land, and refuses to pay compensation to those who suffer the confiscation.

    … that Israel blew up an American diplomatic facility in Egypt and attacked a U.S. ship in international waters, killing 33 and wounding 177 American sailors.

    … that the second most powerful lobby in the United States, according to a recent Fortune magazine survey of Washington insiders, is the Israeli AIPA.

    … that Israel stands in defiance of 69 United Nations Security Council Resolutions.

    … that today’s Israel sits on the former sites of more than 400 now-vanished Palestinian villages, and that the Israeli’s re-named almost every physical site in the country to cover up the traces.

    … that it was not until 1988 that Israelis were barred from running “Jews Only” job ads.

    … that four prime ministers of Israel Begin, Shamir, Rabin, and Sharon, have taken part in either bomb attacks on civilians, massacres of civilians, or forced expulsions of civilians from their villages.

    … that the Israeli Foreign Ministry pays two American public relations firms to promote Israel to Americans.

    …that Sharon’s coalition government includes a party - Molodet - which advocates expelling all Palestinians from the occupied territories.

    … that Israel’s settlement-building increased in the eight years since Oslo.

    … that settlement building under Barak doubled compared to settlement building under Netanyahu.

    … that Israel once dedicated a postage stamp to a man who attacked a civilian bus and killed several people.

    … that recently-declassified documents indicate that David Ben-Gurion in at least some instances approved of the expulsion of Palestinians in 1948.

    We often hear of Ehud Barak’s generosity about an alleged return of 95% of the Palestinian Occupied Territories. When Palestinians refused, they were blamed for “missing an opportunity.” that the Palestinians have already accepted Israel’s existence on 78% of what was Palestine? For those who use the argument of the Bible: God said to Abraham, “Unto thy seed, I will give thy land.” Abraham had two sons. Ismael - the Arab son, and Isaac - the Jewish son. So even if one wants to go to the Bible, the land would belong to both.

    … that Palestinian Christians are considered the “living stones” of Christianity because they are the direct descendants of the disciples of Jesus Christ.

    … that despite a ban on torture by Israel’s High Court of Justice, torture has continued by Shin Bet interrogators on Palestinian prisoners.

    … that Palestinian refugees make up the largest portion of the refugee population in the world.

    Israel has emerged as India’s second largest supplier of military equipment (after Russia), with sales of nearly Rs 120 billion over the last three years. (This amounts to about $900 million per year, as compared to $1.5 billion per year from Russia.) The range of India’s purchases is considerable. The most important agreement is India’s $1.1 billion purchase of Phalcon early warning radar and communications systems, Israel’s largest arms sale. Other important deals include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force; sea-to-sea missiles; border monitoring equipment; night vision devices; artillery; artillery radars; fast attack naval craft; an electronic warfare system for the INS Virat; and ammunition. India’s shopping list is much longer, and includes missile defence systems.

    The two countries are also planning to collaborate on the design and manufacture of certain weapons; and Israel will participate in India’s planned mission to the moon (’Chandrayaan I’), with funds and perhaps a second, Israeli, satellite.

    Growing Indo-Israeli military cooperation is evidenced by the repeated exchange visits of senior military officials. since the UPA government assumed office in May 2004, the vice-chief of the Army, the chief of the Navy, and the chief of the Air Force have visited Israel, and the chief of the Israeli Army has visited India. One aspect of this cooperation is training. Israel is training upto 3,000 Indian commandos in urban warfare and counter-insurgency operations, and India’s Cabinet Committee on Security has decided to solicit Israeli training for four new Special Forces counter-insurgency battalions for Kashmir.2 India’s Border Security Force has proposed specialised training for its officers in Israel, since the latter has “a long history of guarding its borders along the Palestinian territories effectively.”3 Israel, on the other hand, wants to use the facilities of India’s Jungle Warfare and Counter-Insurgency School in Mizoram to train its forces.

    Beyond this, however, is a strategic element. Israel wants a sea-borne force armed with nuclear weapons. Martin Sherman, a senior Israeli analyst, writes that the Mediterranean is not the ideal location for such a force, as a number of littoral states are unfriendly to Israel. In this regard, the Indian Ocean, as location… facilitating the deployment and maintenance of this capability could well assume vital importance…. Of course, for the establishment and operation of such a maritime venture, cooperation with the Indian navy would be vital. In this regard, it is especially significant that in 2000, Israeli submarines reportedly conducted test launches of cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads in the waters of the Indian Ocean off the Sri Lanka coast.

    The two countries’ intelligence services have established close relations. The Israeli intelligence services have been allowed, like the FBI, to open an office in Delhi. A joint commission has been set up at the ministerial level for cooperation in ‘combating terrorism’. There are reports that Israel’s secret service, Mossad, will train Indian intelligence personnel.

    The political relationship between the two countries was most explicitly stated by India’s National Security Advisor, Brajesh Mishra, in his May 8, 2003 address to the American Jewish Committee:

    India, the United States, and Israel have some fundamental similarities. We are all democracies, sharing a common vision of pluralism, tolerance and equal opportunity…. The US, India and Israel have all been prime targets of terrorism. They have to jointly face the same ugly face of modern day terrorism…. As the main targets of international terrorism, democratic countries should form a viable alliance against terrorism…

    Thus in the 2001 Durban conference on racism, India blocked attempts by Arab countries to include a sharp censure of Israel’s anti-Arab policies in the conference’s final resolution. Shimon Peres, then Israeli foreign minister, warmly praised India’s action, which helped “tipping the scales on the side of justice”. When, in September 2003, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited India, the Indian side made no mention of the Palestinian question. And when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas visited India in May 2005, the Indian government hosted him in a deliberately low-key fashion, calling for an end to ‘violence’ but neglecting to condemn Israeli occupation of West Bank and Gaza.

    Further, the Indian government wants to use the services of the pro-Israel lobby in the US both as support to, and a model for, its own lobbying activities in Washington.

    For India, Israel and its affiliated lobbies in Washington can be a useful instrument, for promoting New Delhi’s case on the Pakistani issue. This was a topic raised in a recent trilateral meeting held this month in New Delhi, attended by Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs (JINSA), the influential Washington-based think tank, former Israeli intelligence chiefs and Indian security and defence experts. - Martin Sherman

    Did you know it’s the WATER.
    http://web.macam.ac.il/~arnon/Int-ME/water/THE%20LITANI%20RIVER.htm
    This issue was raised in the LA Times two days ago.
    http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-fg-litani10aug10,1,917757.story

    As this article states, whenever Israel speaks of securing it’s northern border it speaks of the Litani. “Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann, who would become the first president of Israel, in 1919 included the Litani valley among the “minimum requirements essential to the realization of the Jewish National Home.” David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, proposed including the Litani again in the 1940s on the eve of the creation of the Jewish state. In the 1950s, historical records show, Moshe Dayan, then chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, and others favored occupying and ultimately annexing southern Lebanon up to the Litani River.”
    Until you actually have to live without water it does not come to mind too much. You go to the sink and go to pour yourself a glass of water and there is none. You cannot water your crops, you cannot bathe, you cannot flush your toilets you cannot do ANYTHING without water. I think this is probably one of the most important issues being overlooked by most. Just try it, live for a month without water. Look to history to see just how many wars have been fought over water and you will see just how this issue COMPLETELY outweighs Israel’s need for securtiy or their capture back of their kidnapped soldiers. WATER is indeed a driving force in this current crises and the wool is being pulled over MANY people’s eyes.

    brij mohan,

    Later after this post, one of the readers passed a link that confirms what you are saying about India not banning Arab TV’s. I posted it here:
    http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/08/10/india-denies-ban-on-arabic-tv-channels/

    I’ll correct this in the post above!
